Disney: Five Years and a Bit of Magic

The question, then, is not whether Disney is currently experiencing a slight wobble, but where this behemoth of entertainment will find itself five years hence. Let us, with a degree of cautious optimism (and a healthy appreciation for the sheer improbability of predicting the future), attempt to discern a trajectory.

Brad Pitt’s Sports Drama Remains on Top of Apple TV+’s Top 10 Most-Watched Movies of the Week List

I just finished watching ‘Come See Me in the Good Light,’ and wow, it really stuck with me. It’s a documentary directed by Sacha Jenkins that dives deep into what it means to be an artist and how our personal stories shape our work. It’s not just a film, it’s a beautiful, visually driven experience that explores identity and what we leave behind creatively, especially in today’s world. It’s great to see streaming services like this one offering documentaries that are both thought-provoking and really unique – this one definitely fits the bill! The way it looks and feels is just as important as what it’s saying, pulling you right into the artist’s journey.

Bonds Whisper, Markets Dream: A Few Shelters

Janus Henderson anticipates volatility. A remarkably astute observation, as if volatility ever requires anticipation. It simply happens. Still, one must prepare. And few are better positioned to navigate a tempest than Berkshire Hathaway. Old Warren, bless his shrewd heart, has amassed a cash hoard that would make Croesus blush – some $382 billion, mostly tucked away in short-term Treasuries. A perfectly respectable, if somewhat dull, pastime. If the Federal Reserve maintains its current somnambulist approach to interest rates while long-term yields climb, Berkshire will continue to clip coupons with cheerful indifference. And should inflation, that perennial phantom, rear its head, Berkshire’s vast reserves will allow it to scoop up undervalued assets like a pelican with a particularly efficient beak.

The Bull and the Phantom: A Diversification Inquiry

To speak of ‘value’ is to invite a chorus of conflicting definitions. But let us be clear: true value lies not in the ephemeral promise of tomorrow’s headline, but in the sober assessment of today’s price. And so, we shall dissect these instruments, not with the breathless enthusiasm of a stock tout, but with the detached curiosity of a pathologist examining a particularly stubborn ailment.

ETFs & Existential Dread

I’ve been poking around these two myself, mostly because I’m tired of hearing Dale’s smug pronouncements. Both are cheap – a 0.09% expense ratio, which feels almost offensively reasonable in this economy. It’s like they’re daring you to find a reason to complain. IEMG, though, throws a little extra dividend your way (2.75% versus SPGM’s 1.89%). Not enough to retire on, but enough to maybe buy a slightly nicer brand of paper towels. Dale, of course, sees it as a sign of imminent riches.

Nvidia and the Cloud: A Rather Expensive Faith

Nvidia, having positioned itself rather cleverly at the heart of this technological flurry, has benefited handsomely. The company’s share price, a truly baroque ascent, now rests at a height that invites correction. Yet, the quarterly report due on February 25th looms, and the financial community, a notoriously excitable flock, awaits the pronouncements with the breathless anticipation usually reserved for a papal decree.

Are Zendaya and Tom Holland expecting their first child amidst wedding rumors? Here’s what we know

Recently, rumors circulated about Zendaya being pregnant, prompting her mother, Claire Stoermer, to ask people to seek information from reliable sources. Fans and online observers have pointed out that things like baggy clothes, bulky outfits, or unflattering photos are often wrongly interpreted as signs of pregnancy on social media. There’s been no credible news about any delays or changes to Zendaya or Tom Holland’s plans, including their wedding. Although they are engaged, reports suggest they are planning their wedding at a relaxed pace, valuing their privacy and busy careers.

Currently, Zendaya is filming the romantic comedy The Drama with Robert Pattinson. She’s also committed to several other high-profile projects, including the third season of Euphoria, Dune: Part Three, The Odyssey, and the next Spider-Man film, Brand New Day.

Oracle: A Contrarian Growth Proposition

Oracle, with a current market capitalization significantly below that of Nvidia, has largely remained outside the immediate purview of the AI-driven market rally. This is not to suggest a lack of engagement with the same underlying trends. Rather, Oracle’s approach is characterized by a substantial, and presently unfashionable, commitment to the underlying infrastructure required to support these advancements. This entails significant capital expenditure, and a corresponding impact on near-term profitability metrics.
