Pre-Market Pulse: April 13, 2026 — Blockade Monday
Futures red, oil above $100, Goldman earnings, and a Hormuz blockade activating at 10 AM ET. Here's the full Monday morning read.

12 compounding events per year vs. 4 with quarterly payers. The math is simple — more frequent compounding = more growth.
REITs must distribute 90% of taxable income. Not a suggestion — it's the law. Your dividends are protected by regulation.
Reinvest every dividend. More shares = more dividends = more shares. The snowball rolls faster every single month.
