Among the contenders, we find a peculiar little outfit called Quantum Computing Inc. (QUBT). But, and this is where things get delightfully complicated, the company is not, as one might assume, a pure-play on quantum computers. Oh, no! Instead, it’s based on light-based technology—photons, those elusive little particles of light that are, as one might say, “a jolly clever tool” for achieving high computing performance. This, dear reader, is the stuff that makes the company rather intriguing.

The remaining contenders, though smaller, hold their own ground—a cluster of saplings striving to grow under the shadow of ancient oaks. Together, the top six stablecoins form a forest canopy, sheltering $235 billion beneath their boughs. Yet, as any trader knows, even within such sturdy groves, one must discern which trees will bear fruit worthy of harvest.

With raconteur flair, let’s delve into the lives of three resilient bargain retailers—TJX Companies (TJX), Costco Wholesale (COST), and Dollar Tree (DLTR)—that could be your best allies in this riveting trend of thriftiness in the impending year 2025.

Once, you could not trade Apple or Tesla on a blockchain. Now you can. Solana, that relentless little circus performer, has turned tokenized stocks into a sideshow of fire-eaters and trapeze artists. The value of these tokens tripled in two weeks, a feat that would make a goldfish blush. $96 million by mid-July? Child’s play. The real number is $529 million in real-world assets (RWAs)—a sum that whispers, “Look at me, I’m not a joke.”

Following the departure of CEO Pat Gelsinger and the appointment of Lip-Bu Tan, the former CEO of Cadence Design Systems, the legacy chipmaker reported yet another disappointing quarter last week. This was Tan’s first full quarter at the helm, and the stock responded with an 8.5% drop.

Consider, if you will, two titans of commerce, their names now synonymous with the very fabric of modern life. They began as mere cogs in the vast machine of consumerism, yet their trajectories ascended with a fervor that defies the ordinary. Their stories, though etched in triumph, are not without their peculiarities.

Though many dismiss these digital currencies as mere gambles, akin to throwing dice in a smoky backroom, there are giants among them that command attention. One such voice belongs to Geoff Kendrick of Standard Chartered, whose gaze pierces through the fog of speculation. In his recent musings, he foresees two titans of the crypto realm ascending to heights previously unseen by 2028—a vision both audacious and hauntingly beautiful.

Listen up: if you’re a value investor with a taste for the gonzo, then Realty Income is the dividend dynamo you’ve been dreaming about. This REIT’s mission – “to deliver stockholders dependable monthly dividends that grow over time” – isn’t just lip service. It’s a mad, unrelenting march of numbers that would send even the straightest accountant into a frenzy. I’ve seen companies crumble under the weight of their promises, but here we are: 131 straight dividend increases, a 4.2% compound annual dividend growth, and a yield that practically laughs in the face of the S&P 500’s measly offering. For every $100 you throw in, you’re looking at nearly $5.50 in annual dividend income – a figure that makes the average index fund look like a retirement home for your hard-earned cash.
