I was talking to a high-profile Wall Street strategist the other day who told me she and her husband were house-hunting in the Hamptons. They saw a place they liked, but the asking price was too high. “It was as if the downturn in the stock market hadn’t happened,” the strategist related. “I told the broker: ‘I’m paying what this house was worth back in February 2020, because that’s what it’s worth now.’” A provocative take, and one worth considering. The strategist is… Source link

It should have been well within range for any right fielder worth his salt; MLB’s Statcast gave it an xBA of .010. Basically, a one percent chance of being a hit. That routine fly ball turned into an adventure,… Source link

Robert first came across Voyager Digital in March 2020. Like countless others, he decided to give the cryptocurrency broker a try. The platform was easy to navigate. It offered him an up to 9% annual percentage yield (APY)—much higher than a traditional savings account. It claimed to be FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) insured. And being a publicly traded company on the Toronto Stock Exchange, he thought, how bad could Voyager be? Robert, who asked to be identified by only his… Source link

Stolttzfus’ comments come on the heels of last month’s jobs data highlighting continued tight labor market conditions. Market watchers see the… Source link

That same day, The Washington Post reported that Musk’s team has pulled back on talks regarding funding for the $44 billion… Source link
