Shorting The Market
June 23, 2023 | Near-record bets that the S&P 500 will fall (exceeding $1 trillion this month) illustrate traders’ and investors’ lack of faith in this year’s “narrow” 14% rally, where just a few tech companies have fueled gains.
Titaniacs
June 22, 2023 | It's all over the news: Five people aboard a minivan-size, experimental submersible went missing Sunday during a dive to the Titanic site more than 2 miles deep in the North Atlantic Ocean. All five onboard are believed dead after a “catastrophic explosion” on Sunday morning.
High Finance
June 21, 2023 | Private equity firms have largely made a costly mistake in failing to hedge interest-rate risks in recent years.
Train Wreck?
June 20, 2023 | Walk through most downtown areas in America, and the vibe just isn't the same. Whether it's big cities like New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago or mid-sized cities like Pittsburgh, Kansas City, and Omaha, it hasn't been smooth sailing for downtowns. The culprit: Offices in major metro areas have about half as many workers as before the pandemic.
The Everything Store
June 18, 2023 | At 30, Jeff Bezos bet on himself. As the internet caught on, he abandoned a successful Wall Street career to start his own business.

Fed Day

The Art Of Studying Markets
April 6, 2024 | Learn from Shawn O’Malley & Matthew Gutierrez what it’s been like creating and writing for We Study Markets, who their biggest influences have been, how they structure their own portfolios, what an average day is like for a newsletter writer, and what future plans they have to offer more value to our readers.
Good News Is Good!
April 5, 2024 | “Good news is good news!” again. That’s Bloomberg’s Joe Weisenthal commenting on how Friday’s blowout jobs report spurred an upward swing in stocks. This is, of course, in contrast to the “good news is bad news” narrative that occasionally grips markets, where investors root for modestly bad economic news.
Big, Little Guys
April 4, 2024 | David — small-caps — isn’t a monolith. Sure, in aggregate, they’re underperforming their S&P 500 peers, but a few winners are claiming greater sway over the market-cap weighted Russell 2000 index for small-cap stocks.
