Ever feel like the stock market closes right when you're getting warmed up? Nasdaq's got a solution—and it's delightfully ambitious. The exchange just announced plans to seek SEC approval for 24-hour trading, five days a week. That's right: Monday through Friday, all day, all night, no breaks. Currently, the market opens at 9:30 a.m. ET and closes at 4 p.m. ET, which is basically a banker's schedule from 1987. Nasdaq President Tal Cohen says they're aiming for a launch in the ...

Remember when Spark Capital dropped $75 million on Anthropic back in 2023? Most people thought they were nuts. Today, that stake is worth about $7 billion on paper. Not a bad return for betting on a startup nobody knew existed. Here's the thing though: that era is basically over. The AI startups that were scrappy underdogs three years ago—Anthropic, OpenAI, and friends—are now the giants. And like all giants, they're about to get hungry. Not for more funding, but for acquisitions. **The $700 ...

Nvidia's been the undisputed king of AI training, but AMD just figured out something clever—maybe the future doesn't need a single chip to rule them all. This week, AMD CEO Lisa Su announced a partnership with Cerebras that basically says: "Hey, what if we stopped making one chip do everything?" It's a move that could actually matter. Here's the setup. Traditionally, the same hardware handles both sides ...

The stock has been caught in what fund managers are calling the “SaaSpocalypse”: a broad market panic that AI will make software companies like Salesforce obsolete. One major global investment fund is now calling this “a significant investment opportunity” and making the case that the market fundamentally misunderstands what ...

Advanced Micro Devices has been one of the great investing success stories of this AI era. The stock closed at $552.33 on July 22, 2026, giving it a market cap of nearly $901 billion after surging 231.77% over the past 52 weeks. But some of the savviest investors who bought AMD at its lows are now quietly reducing their positions — and their reasoning offers a valuable lesson for retail investors about when to stay, when to trim, and what ...

The Federal Reserve may be done cutting rates — and Wall Street is starting to price in the opposite. Fed funds futures now show an 82% probability that the central bank raises interest rates at its September meeting, a stunning reversal from just one week ago when those odds sat below 53%. The catalyst: Brent crude oil crossed $100 a barrel on Thursday for the first time since late May, driven by escalating military conflict between the U.S. and Iran ...

Remember when the first half of 2026 felt like a financial roller coaster? Buckle up—JPMorgan just dropped a report suggesting the second half might be even bumpier, and spoiler alert: it's not the fun kind of bumpy. The bank's strategists basically said, "Yeah, about those stock gains you've been enjoying... don't get too comfortable." The S&P 500 is up 9% year-to-date, which sounds great until you realize JPMorgan thinks returns for the rest of 2026 will be "more modest." Translation: the ...
