Tax season creates hidden market shifts that can mislead investors. Refunds hit accounts, portfolios get rebalanced, and positions move to cover obligations — creating liquidity changes that make small-cap moves appear more meaningful than they actually are.
Our 2026 Market Flow Briefing reveals how tax-season liquidity affects market action, why current moves seem disconnected from fundamentals, and exposes one profitable setup emerging under these exact conditions.

The Last Song Elvis Sang on Stage Still Feels Like a Hand on the Shoulder
Mental Floss was out with a piece that takes you right to the end of Elvis Presley’s last concert — not with gossip or gloom, but with the kind of detail that reminds you why people still talk about him like he’s family.
According to their report, Elvis’ final performance closed with one of his most beloved songs: “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” If you’ve ever heard the crowd hush when that melody starts, you understand why that choice has a special place in fans’ hearts. It wasn’t just another number to fill out the set list; it was a signature goodbye, the kind of song that carries tenderness without trying too hard.
Mental Floss also ties that final-song moment back to the song’s broader history — including its famous place in the Elvis film “Blue Hawaii.” That connection matters, because for many of us, Elvis wasn’t just a voice on the radio. He was Saturday afternoon movies, summer reruns, and that feeling you got when a simple love song could be sweet without being cynical. The article frames the song as a thread running through the Elvis story: the movies, the records, the stage — and finally, that last curtain call.
📺 Jack's Thoughts: There’s something deeply American about the way that last song lands. In a simpler country — the one many of us grew up in from the ’50s through the ’80s — you didn’t always say everything out loud. A lot of the time you showed it. You showed it by sticking around for the last dance, by walking someone to the door, by taking your hat off indoors, by ending the night with a tune that told the truth without making a speech. That’s why “Can’t Help Falling in Love” feels like more than a trivia answer. It’s a reminder that the things that last aren’t always the loudest things. Elvis had plenty of flash in his life, sure, but that final choice was gentle. And gentleness, I’d argue, is one of the virtues we’ve gotten a little rusty about lately. Not weakness — just the calm strength to say: I meant what I sang. What happens next is what always happens with legends: we keep deciding what to do with their memory. We can turn Elvis into a costume, or we can let moments like this point us back toward what was good — commitment to craft, respect for the audience, and a kind of romance that didn’t apologize for having a heart. If a final song can still pull strangers into the same feeling, decade after decade, maybe that’s proof that the best parts of our culture aren’t gone. They’re just waiting for us to remember them.

That’s the thing about the good old days — they’re not just behind us. When we choose what’s decent, steady, and kind, we bring a little of them back again. See you tomorrow night.
