When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard. Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences. At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000. Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040. Put another way, that’s roughly equal to:…

Stablecoin liquidity is staying inside crypto rather than cashing out. Still, it is bypassing exchanges and flowing into yield strategies, tokenized stocks, prediction markets, and real-world assets, according to an analyst.The pattern helps explain why the combined supply of leading dollar tokens has held near $273 billion even as Bitcoin (BTC) slid below $60,000 and the wider market sold off.Stablecoin Liquidity Stops Leaving but Skips ExchangesCrypto markets have broadly weakened through 2026. Bitcoin trades over $64,000 after falling from highs above $120,000 late last year. The broader market sits at around $2.1 trillion, down 26% year-to-date.In a normal downturn, stablecoin…

Right now one of the challenges for climate politics in the West is to come to terms with the fact that it is CCP-led China that dominates the global emission’s balance. At least rhetorically, the spokespeople of the US and Europe still talk of climate leadership, of hustling China into accelerated action and of setting an example for Beijing to follow. Some even fantasize about “green Marshall plans”.

What’s the investment I’ve recommended most often for most people? A low-fee exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks the S&P 500 index, such as the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT: VOO) or the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT: SPY). I suspect many of my colleagues would say the same. Even Warren Buffett has recommended it. In his 2016 letter to shareholders, he noted, “Over the years, I’ve often been asked for investment advice… My regular recommendation has been a low-cost S&P 500 index fund.” So I’m sorry to point out that it’s not a perfect kind of investment.
