Are we being fooled in the name of an upcoming recession?

The S&P 500 is up 12% YTD, along with a notable 20% climb from the low point experienced last year.

The positive trends are suggesting that we may have entered another Bull market.

Activision pulling a bud light?

A lot of jimmies were rustled in the gaming community recently when a popular cod streamer got his stuff taken off the store for anti-lgbt comment he made.

What if I do the opposite of a losing investor?

Let's say I get someone (friend/family) to invest and trade stocks. When they go long on a stock, I go short and vice versa. However I close the position when they do. If the vast majority of traders lose money over the long run, then surely this strategy would work?

What am I missing about dividend stocks?

Every time I look this up, I get generic advice about “looking for a payout that fits your portfolio” and phrasing like that.

are reddit layoffs and api data access charges an attempt at making their books look better ahead of becoming a publicly traded company?

i found an article by Aran Richarson on yahoo finance titled "will the reddit ipo finally happen later in 2023?" allong with other changes in recent years like increasingly intrusive advertising that made me wonder if that's the case.
