The U.S. Federal Reserve holds tremendous power over the U.S. economy. By setting benchmark rates, it dictates the terms for interbank lending — and in turn, the borrowing costs for virtually every business and household in America. But aside from raising or lowering those rates, the Fed has very few meaningful ways to interact with the larger economy (excluding emergency measures, of course). So controlling the flow of information, controlling the perception and expectation of rate cuts, becomes one of the Fed’s most powerful tools ..read more

The Federal Reserve is set to cut interest rates for the first time in four years. And there’s one sector that is about to soar even higher. Even when interest rates were rising, this sector crushed expectations. But now, a new "Echo Boom" is set to drive these stocks even higher ..read more

At the annual Bitcoin Conference in July, Trump was lauded for promising to ensure America becomes “the crypto capital of the planet and bitcoin superpower of the world.” He also promised to “appoint an SEC chair who will build the future, not block the future.” That’s a direct shot at current SEC Chair Gary Gensler, who has fought crypto entrepreneurs for the entire Biden administration. Last night, Trump went a step further ..read more

Big wave surfers travel from all over the world to ride the massive, 80-foot waves off the coast of Nazaré. World records are repeatedly set — and broken — on these monster swells over the years.

After a massive run that lasted over a year and a half, mega-cap “Magnificent Seven” tech stocks appear to be dead in the water. Over the last month, the ETF that represents these top seven tech stocks (including Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Tesla, Amazon, and Nvidia) gained just 1.15% — less than half the return of the S&P 500 index.

Here’s what you can expect during (and after) Tuesday’s debate and why it may lead to an unexpected “October Surprise” for investors ..read more

Buffett’s first investors were family and friends in his hometown in Omaha, Nebraska. If you were fortunate enough to invest $10,000 with him, it would now be worth over $370 million! That’s the reason Buffett is called the “Oracle of Omaha.” Both Berkshire A and B shares made an all-time high on Buffett’s birthday. Perhaps it was Mr. Market’s birthday present to Warren.
