I sure didn’t want what happened to occur, at least not during my vacation, of all things. But it did, and we have to deal with the fallout head-on because it came as such a surprise to many. Imagine for a moment there were five geese — Amazon , Alphabet , Microsoft , Meta Platforms , and Apple — and they were laying golden eggs like mad. No other stocks have consistently produced eggs like these five. It was like a fairy tale. Now that the fairy tale ended a long time ago, their incredible businesses, tremendous leadership, and franchises —…

Andy Burnham will give what his team has called “his first major leadership speech” on Monday morning and will promise to “lift Britain back up to where it should be”. In an address at the People’s History Museum in Manchester, the new MP for nearby Makerfield will say as prime minister he would “give Britain the circuit breaker it needs”. His inner circle describe it as “the foundational text” of his programme for government.As such, it is expected to be broad based.It is not thought he will take any questions from reporters afterwards, which will likely raise eyebrows from some…

If Davos is where global elites discuss the future of the world economy, Lujiazui is increasingly where Beijing signals how it intends to shape that future to serve its own interests.

Kathrin Ziegler | Digitalvision | Getty ImagesIndividual retirement account assets dwarf those of 401(k) plans. IRAs held about $19.2 trillion at the end of 2025, while 401(k)s held $10.1 trillion, according to the Investment Company Institute, a trade group representing asset managers.

The scientific enterprise has since evolved to the point where it is dominated by large commercial publishing groups that…
