Why Exxon Is Wooing Retail Investors & Luckin Coffee Comes For Starbucks

Episode 22: Welcome to Brew Markets. Today, Ann digs into why oil and gas giant Exxon Mobil is making it easier for retail investors to engage. Exxon claims it’s trying to level the playing field - we say it’s pragmatic self-interest. Then, we explore the threat Starbucks faces from Luckin, the fast-growing Chinese coffee chain famous for deep discounts.  Finally, Ann busts the jargon around ‘Over The Counter’ shares - what you need to know.  We wrap with the market numbers and a look ahead to tomorrow’s pivotal Fed announcement.  For a limited time, you can get up to $10,000 when you transfer your investment portfolio to your Public brokerage account.
