The Market Outlook for the Week Ahead, or The View from the Andes

I  am writing this to you from a $13 a day dive hotel walking distance from Cusco airport in Peru. I am returning from another bucket list item, climbing Machu Picchu, which, 500 years ago, was a royal Inca retreat. I was headed back to Lima to complete my research on the lithium mines here […]
