Hi All - Happy Saturday and welcome back to Street Tweets from The Street Sheet.
The first five days of President Donald Trumpās presidency felt like five years.
Plot twist: heās already in his third term.

Hedge fund vet Larry Benedict reveals how you could fast-track your retirement - no matter what happens in the market - with just one stock.
Market Review:
Wall Street saw mixed results to close out the week, with the S&P 500 slipping from a record high to 0.3%, after hitting new intraday highs. The Nasdaq dropped 0.5%, while the Dow fell 141 points, or 0.3%.
Despite Fridayās losses, the major indices posted their second consecutive positive week, buoyed by excitement over President Trumpās return to office and expectations of pro-business policies. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both gained about 1.7%, and the Dow rose 2.2%.
Investors also monitored corporate earnings, with Novo Nordisk jumping 8% on positive drug news, while Texas Instruments slid 7%. Next week, attention turns to big tech earnings and the Fedās meeting, where no rate hikes are expected.
Market Preview:
Next week on Wall Street will be a busy one. On Monday, new home sales for December are due. Tuesday brings durable goods orders and the S&P Case-Shiller home price index for November, alongside consumer confidence data for January.
Then thereās Wednesday, the marquee day of the week, with the Federal Reserveās next interest-rate decision due. Investors are near-certain the central bank will push pause on the rate cuts, as it has projected just a handful of cuts all year. But Fed Chair Jerome Powellās subsequent press conference will be closely watched for clues as to whether the plan has changed.
On Thursday, weāll get advanced estimates for the Q4 GDP, along with initial jobless claims for the previous week and pending home sales for December. The big week will close out strong on Friday with the Fedās preferred inflation gauge, the PCE price index.

Was President Biden secretly a pro-billionaire president?
Orā¦ perhaps more shockinglyā¦
Is the economy a complex ecosystem subject to countless market forces upon which presidential administrations ultimately have a very limited impact?

Iām not surprised. Iām sure thereās some rhyme or reason to Geminiās Google Search summaries. But I donāt think HubSpot Academy has cracked it yet.
The national Girl Scouts organization collected $192,663,447 in gross receipts and gave only 8 million of that to local chapters.
Meanwhile, they spent $18,481,806 in IT services.
This is all publicly available information on their 2023 IRS 990 tax filing.

Bzzzt. ā”
We were mostly joking earlier about the billionaire thing. But itās starting to look like Biden may have actually been the better president for the energy sector ā and not just clean energy either.
Last week, we noted how Americaās gas production dominance intensified in the past few years. And now natural gas giants are raising a stink about Trumpās rollback of clean energy initiatives. (Yes, really.) So itās possible ādrill, baby, drillā wonāt be as big of a boon to Big Oil as the Street seems to think.
Iāve heard Exxon (XOM) and Chevron (CVX) commonly mentioned as āTrump tradeā candidates. I wonder what the short interest looks like? š¤

Gotta admit, āGulf of Guadalajaraā really rolls off the tongue.
Fun fact: the Gulf of California is thought to be one of the most diverse seas on earth.
How diverse, you ask?
