    I’m also bullish on Disney over the next year or two especially after all the DeSantis drama blows over.

    Right now the market is in greedy territory but when it goes back to fearful territory I’ll be buying $120 Disney call options expiring next year.

    Sofi is a great choice considering there will be millions (if not billions) of dollars of student loans due to be paid back, and Sofi is in a great spot to take advantage of that

    Do you expect a Fed rate hike, pause, or rate cut on June 14?

    I personally believe the Fed will surprise the market with another rate hike because although CPI has cooled, core PCE has remained sticky and the Fed doesn’t want inflation to rear its ugly head at all costs.

    According to the CNN Fear & Greed Index we are at “extreme greed” levels not seen since February 3rd, which also coincided with a temporary market top.

    This leads me to believe the market will begin to fall over the next few weeks until we hit “fear” or “extreme fear” levels again around July.

    Shakshuka! This recipe serves 4 with less than $6 worth of ingredients, healthy, and best of all it doesn’t taste like cardboard, it’s SO good and full of flavor! I have this multiple times a week and can’t get enough.

    YouTube recipe to follow along

    Ingredients (with Orange County, California prices per serving from Costco and Walmart as of 5/29/2023)

    Olive oil ($0.40)

    1 yellow onion ($0.85)

    1 green bell pepper ($0.72)

    1 serrano pepper ($0.15)

    Paprika (<$0.05)

    Cumin (<$0.05)

    Minced Garlic ($0.10)

    1 - 28oz can of whole peeled tomatoes ($1.43)

    (Optional) 1 can of chickpeas

    Salt (<$0.05)

    4 eggs ($0.66) [24 eggs at Costco for $3.99]

    Black Pepper (<$0.05)

    Cilantro ($0.50)

    Feta cheese ($0.40)

    Toasted bread ($0.36 can be any carb of your choice)

    Total cost for 4 servings: $5.77 ($1.44 per serving! I have the receipts to prove it!)

    Cooking instructions:

    -chop the onions, bell pepper, and hot pepper and sauté with paprika and cumin in olive oil for around 5 minutes in medium-high heat.

    -once sautéed, add some garlic and after about 2 minutes, add the whole can of tomatoes. You can crush them while they cook with a wooden spoon. Keep stirring and taste it to add salt and seasoning to taste.

    -Here is where you can add the chickpeas if you’d like. After around 10-15 minutes, check to see if you can move the sauce and see the bottom of the pan without it being too watery. Once the sauce has thickened, drop heat to low

    -create four pockets in the sauce where you will carefully crack the 4 eggs. Add salt and pepper on the eggs and cover with a lid for 5-7 minutes

    -once egg whites are cooked and yolk is still runny, add feta cheese, cilantro and it’s ready to eat! If it’s too spicy, you can drizzle a bit of honey.

    I hope you guys like it! Please reach out if you have any questions.

    *Prices will vary depending on where you shop and what year you are seeing this recipe in.

    But on the other hand, I would assume others would correct it if the label is inaccurate.
