A Michigan baby shower ended with a bang this past weekend. The homeowner who hosted the party had purchased a small cannon at an auction. The device has been fired several times before the baby shower. When the device was fired at the baby shower, it exploded. 

Evan Thomas Silva, who was standing nearby at the time of the explosion, was struck with metal shrapnel. He was taken in serious condition to a local medical center, where he later died.

In recent years, some gender-reveal events – where devices eject confetti, balloons, or other colored objects to announce a soon-to-be-born child’s gender – have taken a dangerous turn. Last year, a couple’s plan to use blue or pink smoke to make their announcement sparked a wildfire that burned thousands of acres.

In 2017, Paul’s No. 1 pick — Foundation Medicine — shot up 524%.

In 2018, Paul’s No. 1 pick — Roku — shot up 393%.

In 2019, Paul’s No. 1 pick — MTech Acquisitions — shot up 332%.

But Paul believes his No. 1 stock pick for 2021 could go even higher.

YOUR MORNING MARKET UPDATE

Stock futures hinted at some minor declines this morning after each of the major indexes saw six straight days of winning performances. However, the overall positive trend isn’t expected to snap anytime soon.

One strategist pointed toward the earnings data and an improved outlook when it comes to the pandemic as key factors in the market’s performance. She also mentioned promising aspects inside of the latest job report.

“To change the narrative, it would have to be something pretty significant,” the strategist said. “It would have to be something that really changes the expectations about what’s going to happen with the labor market, or what’s happening with vaccines, or the guidance that we’ve been getting from companies on earnings.”

There are several ways you can up your intake of ginger, including adding it to smoothies, using it as a seasoning, taking ginger supplements, and drinking ginger tea.
