Do you think that Congress passed the “Covid” Pork Pie in honor Saint Patrick’s Day? you know, Green, Green, and more Green. I put on my best greens early this morning, and congress was furthest from my Celtic mind. I was only seeing happy smiles and glistening eyes reflecting rainbows and leprechauns adancin’; and four-leaf clovers upon the emerald hills. I am excited just by the spirits of the day and I don’t need several gallons of Guinness or Irish whiskey to feel myself drifting away. It’s just the Irish faces beaming that makes my day.
Shamrock: A fake Irish stone.
In addition to plenty of barrels ready to tap, the hope for today is that at 2Pm EDT the Fed will come out bullish on the stimulus supported economy but keep interest rate policies at near 0% levels. hey should keep the green flowing OSP day, I’d say.

A bunch of Irish folks singing happy songs from their loving harts at funeral on a misty hillside are far more entertaining to me than thee Grammys.

The Irish will be making a lot of pour decisions today.

In the year since Covid changed the way we lived and Wall Street in April went defensive (Cash, Healthcare, Staples, Techs, Bonds), it has now made a complete flip back to Cyclicals (Energy, Industrials, Banks UK, EuroZone and, Commodities)
The Answer:
According to the “Irish Post”, the top Irish surnames are Murphy, Kelly, Byrne, T Ryan, O’Brien, Walsh, O’Sullivan, O’Conner, Doyle and McCarthy. Another “World Wide” list has it starting with #10 – O’Reilly, O’Neill, O’Conner, Ryan, Byrne, Obrien, Walsh, O’Sullivan, Kelly and Murphy. (Here’s a list of 100 so you can check for your name in it. Note, none of my Irish family names are in the top 100. https://www.irelandbeforeyoudie.com/irish-surnames-top-100-last-names-family-names-ranked/
