Most Artificial Intelligence (AI) commentary I read falls into either of two camps: everything is at peak hype, and a correction is coming, or the AI boom is just beginning, and spending will compound for decades.  Box CEO Aaron Levie posted something on X (formerly Twitter) this week that I found more useful than either […]

The oil market rarely needs a translator. Producers hold meetings and publish statements, but the messages that matter are written in barrels shipped and invoices sent. When the people who control the world’s crude want you to know where prices are headed, they show you rather than tell you. For most of this year, what

If you are working hard to stay away from debt but still find yourself tied to a monthly payment, you are not alone.

Five years later, the Iran conflict drove fuel costs through the roof, the airline racked up a £552 million loss in the first half of its financial year, and

Over the July 4, 2026, weekend, I covered Jim Cramer’s buy call on AST SpaceMobile. He was clear that it wasn’t something to flip fast. He called it a great speculative stock with a two-year money-making window.  Monday morning, July 7, Cramer was back with another aerospace name, and this one is significantly closer to

Financial planners have spent years pushing one message to pre-retirees: wait until 70 to claim Social Security for the biggest possible monthly check.

During my childhood in the 1980s, my family sometimes ate out at a cafeteria-style steak chain that has almost entirely disappeared. Before that chain collapsed down to a single restaurant, I got a chance to eat there in the 2000s. It was basically what I remembered, and while I could see what young me liked
