Saturday Notes Vol 2
Good morning!! Here are a few tibits of info we found worth sharing! Enjoy!
The Moskovich Returns!!
Here is an odd side effect of Western sanctions on Russian - a car buisiness is reborn. Updated Moskoviches or “natives of Mosco” are hitting the streets once again. Check out the article below:
Commodities and Car Batteries
Here is an article that breaks the major metals that make up batteries, their costs and supply chains and the impacts on the emerging electric vehicle market.

Also, last December we posted a podcast with battery researcher Mitch Ball https://www.olderaleighfinancial.com/orfg-resources/sound-track-to-a-financial-advisors-life-episode-13-with-mitch-ball
Richmond, Va - Great Restaurants.
On a recent continued education junket to Richmond, VA, Alex and Trevor were introduced to a couple of culinary gems.
Stella’s serves delicious and authenic Greek food in a French brasserie setting. Marble bar, lots of windows and mirrors and great service. When a joint is packed at 5:30 you know it is good. https://stellasrichmond.com/
Edos Squid is an Italian restaurant in the same current as Boston’s famous northside. An unassuming wood door leads directly to a packed dining room replete with a charming but surly waitstaff. So much fun! https://edossquidrva.com/
If you find yourself in Richmond, call ahead, get reservations and check these places out.
A Short Read for the Holidays
Historian and author David McCullough’s short book In The Dark Streets Shineth archives American Christmas music. This little charmer includes the story of the December 1941 White House holiday event at which Churchill first heard “O Little Town of Bethlehem”.
RIP Mr. McCullough.
Happy Holidays Folks!
