The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF is down over 22% since December 10th. Twenty-two percent! People are panicking. And Wall Street, naturally, thinks this is a “buying opportunity.” As if they know anything. They’re the ones who got us into this mess in the first place. They see a dip and suddenly it’s a “compelling opportunity.” It’s always something with these people.
Will Arnett is widely recognized as the face of LEGO, largely thanks to his voice role as Batman in ‘The LEGO Movie’ and its sequels. Beyond voicing the character, his genuine passion for LEGOs led him to host the reality competition ‘LEGO Masters,’ where he guides builders as they create impressive, large-scale constructions. Arnett often shares his own LEGO building experiences in interviews, emphasizing the creative benefits LEGOs offer to people of all ages.
I just finished watching this really fun action comedy directed by Dan Berk and Robert Olsen, and I have to say, it was a wild ride! It stars Jack Quaid as Nathan Caine, a bank worker who can’t actually feel pain – a pretty strange condition, right? The story kicks off when his coworker, played by Amber Midthunder, gets taken hostage during a robbery, and Nathan has to use his… lack of feeling, to try and rescue her. It’s packed with action, but also really funny. Plus, the movie has a great supporting cast, including Ray Nicholson, Betty Gabriel, and Jacob Batalon. I definitely recommend checking it out!
New research demonstrates that a distribution-based approach can match or exceed the performance of deep learning methods in complex clustering tasks.
It’s a bit sad, actually. For the investors, I mean. Not that they’ll admit it. There’s always a certain wistfulness when you let go of the things that made you money, even if those things are increasingly irrelevant luxury sedans. The Model S and X, those were the ones that whispered, “Look at me, I’m environmentally conscious and expensive!” Now? They’re being politely ushered offstage to make room for Optimus, the robot that will probably judge your life choices. It’s a dramatic exit, and frankly, a little bit messy. Like a breakup where one person already has a new robot in the wings.
Zack Snyder shared a black-and-white photo on Instagram, noting it was taken with a Leica MD camera and a 28mm lens at f/1.7. He described it as a ‘Wide lens. Dark knight’ shot.
The new ad, called “Witness He-Man,” is part of a gradual marketing campaign leading up to the movie’s release in June.
The shedding of Trex, a purveyor of composite decking and outdoor leisure structures, is not an isolated incident. It is a fragment of a larger pattern, a gradual unravelling of the faith placed in cyclical industries tethered to the precarious whims of consumer confidence and, more fundamentally, the housing market. To assume Madison acted from malice or prescience is naive. More likely, they simply felt the chill of a changing wind, a premonition of a downturn that the optimists continue to dismiss.
We shall examine two contenders in this peculiar race, not with the wide-eyed optimism of a stock promoter, but with the detached curiosity of a historian observing a particularly flamboyant bubble. There are no guarantees, naturally. In fact, the odds are stacked in favor of disappointment. But where’s the fun in predicting the mundane?
The SPY, you see, is a bit of a generalist. It gobbles up shares from 500 of the largest American companies, a truly enormous feast. MGK, however, is a picky eater. It only wants the really big ones, the ones that are growing at a positively alarming rate. This means a different sort of tummy ache for investors – different risks, different rewards, and a rather curious tilt towards certain sectors.
