[Image] Weekly Market Update Today is June 18, 2022 Hey Subscriber, The financial markets (and TMI) are closed on Monday, June 20 in observance of the new Juneteenth federal holiday. This day commemorates the end of slavery in the U.S. when Major General Gordon Granger issued an order in Texas on June 19, 1865, that said all slaves in the state were freed. The last time the U.S. government added a new federal holiday was on November 2, 1983. That was when President Ronald Reagan signed a bill to honor the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr., on the third Monday of each January. USA Today asked Vice President Kamala Harris about the new holiday. “On Juneteenth, we reflect on the past and rejoice in the progress made. On this day, we recognize the hard-fought road that led to the emancipation of enslaved people and recommit ourselves to America’s promise of equal justice for all.” And Martin Luther King III added, “Let Juneteenth become a nationwide teach-in to educate Americans about the real history and continuing legacy of slavery, violence and racism, as opposed to the frequently glossed-over versions in many schoolbooks. In this way, let it be the catalyst for real, lasting change.” One way people can honor and support Blacks throughout the world is to invest in Black-owned companies. The fact that of the 3,671 public companies in the U.S. reported by The Wall Street Journal in 2020, just eight are Black-owned underscores the need for more equality and opportunities. Here’s the current list. RLJ Lodging Trust (RLJ) is a real estate investment trust (REIT) with a portfolio consisting of 103 hotels across 23 states and the District of Columbia. Urban One (UONE), a Maryland-based American media conglomerate, operates media properties that primarily target African Americans. Ping Identity Holding (PING) specializes in a variety of digital and online identity protection services whose clients include five of the top North American retailers, seven of the largest healthcare companies, and 13 of the largest U.S. banks. Global Blood Therapeutics (GBT) is leading the charge against sickle cell disease by developing several treatments and therapies. Carver Bancorp (CARV) offers consumer and business banking products and services to traditionally underserved African American communities. Broadway Financial Corp. (BYFC) is the holding company for City First Bank, which it merged with in 2021 to become the largest Black-owned minority depository institution (MDI) in the U.S. Axsome Therapeutics (AXSM), another biopharmaceutical firm, AXSM focuses on the development of therapies for managing central nervous system (CNS) disorders. American Shared Hospital Services (AMS) leases equipment to hospitals and medical centers for radiosurgery, and radiation therapy. Those are some options to support the Black community once market conditions improve.
