*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|* https://preservewm.com We've been keeping up with the latest headlines... here are two of our favorites worth sharing. ** Your Money ------------------------------------------------------------ Stocks, oil prices, and government bond yields slumped on Friday after South Africa raised the alarm over a fast-spreading strain of the coronavirus. This triggered concerns that travel restrictions and other curbs will spoil the global economy’s recovery. The stock market immediately implemented its stay-at-home mentality: airline and cruise stocks tanked while drug makers and video services popped. On the positive side, Moderna has already reported their Omicron booster should be available in early 2022. MRNA vaccines, such as those manufactured by Pfizer and Moderna, can be quickly updated, and businesses have adapted to containment measures, ensuring that the blow from each lockdown has lessened.

Then, over time, vaccine and containment headlines can build back market confidence and price in a better future.

I, for one, am awed at how my plastic water bottle can be recycled into clothing. Not just those dramatic fashion extremes (i.e., literally wearing an outfit made of water bottles), but a real and soft cloth that can be sewn into a number of different clothes. Recycling plastic is now great for both the environment and the wardrobe. This very interesting article demystifies how plastic is spun into threads for clothing.
