Yet, the S&P 500 rarely graces us with its average 10% return in a single year. Instead, it prefers to dabble in extremes-those few years of splendor offsetting the rest with the kind of mediocrity that would make a Victorian parlour hostess blush. And with its current reliance on mega-cap growth stocks, the index may soon become a veritable carnival of volatility.
Will Nvidia stretch even further into the annals of financial legend in the coming years? Most assuredly, for I foresee a future where it proudly claims the title of the world’s premier $10 trillion entity. One pivotal innovation may hasten this remarkable journey more swiftly than a peddler of dreams.
According to Bloomberg (you know, the place where all the serious money people hang out), LMAX’s exchange is already moving over $40 billion in daily volume across forex and digital assets. And it turns out, their customers want more. And by more, they mean *high-leverage access* to crypto markets. Because, who needs a calm, rational approach to investing when you can have *100x leverage*?
In a cheeky post on the interwebs, our very own CryptoQuant smarty-pants, Maartunn, chatted about this latest kerfuffle in the futures trading volume. The way I see it, futures volume here ain’t some secret agent business-it’s just the amount changing hands in futures-related trades on those fancy derivatives exchanges.
Tesla’s June 22 robotaxi demonstration in Austin marked a pivotal moment in its capital allocation strategy. By deploying 10-20 Model Ys via the Uber app, the company is testing a monetization model that could diversify revenue beyond vehicle sales. While Alphabet’s Waymo remains the primary competitor in this nascent sector, Cathie Wood’s 2030 projection of 50 million global robotaxis-with Tesla capturing 50%-implies a $1.5 trillion addressable market. For dividend hunters, the critical question is whether this vertical can generate recurring cash flows sufficient to justify current valuation multiples.
When questioned, in the grand hall of CNBC, on a Tuesday that bore the weight of fiscal storms, Eric, the co-founder of something called American Bitcoin and its clever strategist, proclaimed with an air of weary amusement, “My father is the first man who has not enriched himself from holding this most illustrious office. We are, after all, lifelong aficionados of capital-and not casual ones at that.”
Now, only the Bitwise ETHW ETF is posting any gains. It’s like being at a party where everyone’s having a blast, and there’s that one guy standing in the corner-just sad. And while Bitcoin’s out there looking suave and confident, Ethereum’s like the kid in school who keeps getting picked last for dodgeball. Who knew crypto could be so dramatic? 😒
Warren Buffett may be the most famous name in the asset management game, but he’s hardly the only one with a knack for finding gold in the stock market’s rocky terrain. David Tepper, the billionaire helmsman of Appaloosa Management, is a master of the craft, and his latest moves are as revealing as they are instructive. Like a seasoned sailor navigating uncharted waters, Tepper has charted a course through the AI-driven storm, buying up three of the most hyped trillion-dollar stocks while unloading three others.
Despite being one of the nation’s largest landlords, Mid-America often dances in the shadow of its more glamorous peers on the glittering coast. But lo and behold, dear investor, it finds itself standing at the precipice of opportunity-its very own dramatic twist lies in wait. For though its share price has fallen nearly 10% this year, there is much more to this tale than a mere decline. The stage is set for a return, as growth looms just beyond the horizon, hand in hand with a dividend yielding a humble 4.3%. A combination so tantalizing, so ripe for the taking, that one might call it a veritable “screaming buy.”
Meet Ashita Mishra, TaskUs’s very own Judas with a smartphone. Starting December 2024, she snapped photos of Social Security numbers, bank details, and IDs like she was curating a gallery of financial ruin. Price per masterpiece? A cool $200. Buyers? Hackers with the charm of used-car salesmen and the ethics of a raccoon in a dumpster.
