Market Matters
This week, we look ahead to Thanksgiving week in the US and the latest additions to the Buffet portfolio. We look back on announcements from M&R. We also look ahead to all the data set to continue coming out this week.

Deep Dive
We dive into the real cost of education. We dig into the costs associated with various stages of the educational journey and reflect on both public and private educational costs. We focus on the value of the education and whether or not the cost justifies the potential return.
