Looming Halving
March 20, 2024 | Let’s check in on bitcoin — a statement that will surely excite some readers and annoy others. This handy website showcases bitcoin’s resilience, finding that on 476 occasions, a “notable” source has declared bitcoin is or will soon be worthless, which probably understates things.
So Long, Negative Rates
March 19, 2024 | It’s over, it’s finally over. Nearly 150,000 hours (17 years) have passed since the Bank of Japan last hiked interest rates, enough time to watch Game of Thrones from start to finish more than 2,127 times.
AI Woodstock
March 18, 2024 | The most important stock in markets is hosting the year's most important conference. That’s right, Nvidia’s annual conference on artificial intelligence — which Bank of America analysts frankly called “AI Woodstock” — commenced today.
Serendipity
March 17, 2024 | Sure, you can chalk up a business’s success to big plans, brilliant ideas, and excellent execution—usually, those go a long way. But much of business (and life) comes down to serendipity—essentially, being in the right place at the right time.
Cybercrime Is Booming

Sorry, Realtors
March 15, 2024 | The second-order effects of economic changes are never as obvious as they seem. Take interest rates, for example. Surely, higher rates, boosting mortgage costs, would suppress homebuyer demand, resulting in lower housing prices, right?
Rockets & Feathers
March 14, 2024 | We can’t prove that profits drive prices and vice versa. There are many factors at play. However, consider a rockets and feathers analogy that Goldman economists created.
Left Behind
March 13, 2024 | While the Western world has hiked interest rates in response to a pandemic-era inflation burst, the planet’s third-biggest economy has seemingly missed the memo, keeping interest rates extremely low — Japanese government bonds maturing in 10 years pay meager yields just shy of 0.8%.
It Isn’t Just Big Tech
March 12, 2024 | Against popular belief, this market isn’t just about a few wonderful mega-cap companies. A broad group of companies has fueled the recent climb to record highs, even as monster companies like Apple and Tesla have sunk this year.
Write and Release
April 20, 2024 | A simple way to relieve anger? Write and release. A recent study out of Japan found that writing down your reaction to a negative incident on a piece of paper and then getting rid of it helps release frustration.
Halving Day
April 19, 2024 | Whether you hear “halve” or "halving" or "halvening,” everyone is trying to say the same thing: The bitcoin halving is here as bitcoin sits around $65,000 on Friday afternoon.
Behind Enemy Lines
April 18, 2024 | Established as part of a 2015 initiative named "Project Curiosity," Big River uses its global sales to collect pricing, logistics, and other strategic information about rival e-commerce platforms. The data is then shared with Amazon to inform its business decisions.
