It’s being talked about more as investors wonder whether stocks are poised to lose ground in 2022. Unfortunately, the signal of doom it supposedly sends is a myth. CAPE, or cyclically adjusted price-earnings, was popularized by Nobel prize-winning economist Robert Shiller. It’s calculated by taking the price of… Source link

And yet I did find instances of bipartisanship, featuring some strange bedfellows the likes of which I hadn’t seen since Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Ted Cruz briefly aligned on Twitter last year during the meme stock brouhaha — before AOC kicked Ted to the curb, 67… Source link

Imagine a world in which  Google is a smaller private company, not the global behemoth Alphabet is today. Surprisingly, it almost happened. Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page were hesitant to go public because they feared that sharing control of the company with shareholders would force them to do things they didn’t want to do.
