SCHD: Finally? Really?

It’s now the second-largest dividend ETF, apparently. Eighty-five billion dollars! That’s… a lot of money chasing yield. Makes you wonder what everyone else is missing, doesn’t it? Or maybe they aren’t missing anything and it’s just a temporary blip. I’m leaning towards the blip. They were bragging about eight years of being in the top third of Morningstar’s Large Value category. Top third. That’s… participation trophy territory. And keeping pace with the S&P 500? That’s like being slightly less bad than everyone else. It’s not a ringing endorsement.

Best Young Latino Actors Currently Taking Over Hollywood

Data Centers & The Illusion of Progress

Two entities, CoreWeave (CRWV 2.67%) and Nebius (NBIS 6.61%), are currently engaged in a peculiar race. They build, ostensibly to serve the insatiable appetite of these AI ‘hyperscalers,’ but one wonders if they are not simply constructing monuments to their own ambition, elaborate sandcastles awaiting the tide. Both offer the promise of computational power, a commodity increasingly divorced from any discernible purpose. The distinction between them, if it exists, is likely lost in a labyrinth of contracts and projections.

She’s noticed her hair has become much thicker and healthier since becoming a mother.

SoFi’s CEO & A Million-Dollar Wager

But let’s not mistake this for simple optimism. Smart money, as they say, often anticipates the punchline.

Black Actresses Who Look Far Better Today Than When They First Started

She consistently wows on the red carpet with her chic and modern fashion choices, which perfectly suit her athletic figure. She remains a leading actress, currently starring in the popular drama series ‘911’.

Bitcoin: A Mid-Year Reality Check

Units of Cryptocurrency Lost (so far): 12. Hours Spent Watching Charts: 9. Number of Panicked Texts to Friends: 24. I keep telling myself there’s still time. That it could bounce back. That I’m not destined to become a cautionary tale whispered in dimly lit investment forums. But the numbers… they’re not encouraging.

But now, a tremor. The distant echoes of conflict in the lands of Persia, a region steeped in history and sorrow, threaten to disrupt this carefully constructed equilibrium. The recent engagements, a regrettable yet predictable consequence of human ambition and the relentless pursuit of dominion, have brought with them a tightening around the throat of the world’s oil supply.
