The Price Is Right
July 12, 2023 | Khan failed this week in her latest effort to block the big-tech deal between Microsoft and video game publisher Activision Blizzard. A federal judge denied her agency’s bid to block Microsoft’s deal, only months after the FTC failed to thwart a deal between Meta Platforms’ purchase of a virtual reality gaming company.
Prime Day

Chick-fil-A

Fast-Growing Economy
July 08, 2023 | India is one of the world's fastest-growing economies. Its progress marks a significant shift in the global order, outpacing China in various aspects. The country is on track to become the most populous globally, with an estimated population of 1.42 billion in 2023.
Space Monopoly
July 07, 2023 | From Balloongate to semiconductor sanctions, 2023 hasn’t been a good year for relations between the U.S. and China. That has put an even bigger spotlight on U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s visit this week to China, which markets watched keenly for insights into how the two countries might interact going forward.
“Twitter Killer”
July 06, 2023 | Instagram, owned by Meta, has introduced Threads, a new app aimed at competing with Twitter.

Heat Waves
July 05, 2023 | The U.S. labor market is showing surprising strength, despite the Federal Reserve’s aggressive interest-rate campaign. While tech layoffs have headlined, they simply don’t tell the whole labor market story.
Fireworks

No Rate Cuts?
April 11, 2024 | The unthinkable is now thinkable. That’s the prospect of no rate cuts this year. Predicting no cuts just a few months ago would’ve left you all alone on Wall Street, excluded from the cool kids’ table, which was betting on at least three rate reductions this year.
VC’s Cultural Moment
April 10, 2024 | If you’re an individual investor, you probably don’t have access to investing in hot startups. In recent years, a trendy business model in finance has been trying to change that, “democratizing” access to more types of companies, not just those trading on stock exchanges.
