Welcome to August 2021!
If a month starts on a Sunday, that month will always have a Friday the 13th. This year is no exception, in 2021, the 13th of this month is a Friday.
Historically, August has always been a month that starts off weak and among the worst months of year for the stock market. But before we plunge into August depression, here are the best FinTwit pearls to cheer up your mood.
