Megan Garcia+FollowRetail Investors Outsmart Wall Street AgainHere’s your coffee break scoop: everyday investors just schooled the pros. While Wall Street played it safe, regular folks snapped up tech stocks during the dip and cashed out on the highs. The result? Retail traders outperformed the big hedge funds this year, especially by betting on names like Nvidia and Amazon. It’s proof that sometimes, trusting your gut (and a little research) can beat the suits at their own game. #Business #LocalBusiness #investing10Share
Ernest Harris+FollowBig changes for Cleveland Clinic investmentsCleveland Clinic just brought in Joseph Elegante to lead their public equities investments—a move that could really shake things up for the hospital’s financial future.

Diversify—don’t just chase the AI hype, but don’t ignore it either. #Business #Market #investing00Share

ashley89+FollowWhat If You Invested Disney Vacation Money?Imagine skipping five Disney trips over the last 20 years and putting that cash into Disney stock instead.

Kristin Shaw+FollowHow to Bet on America’s Next-Gen FirepowerGrab your coffee: Microsoft just scored a $170M Air Force cloud deal, but the real money’s in the companies building the jets, bombers, and missiles. Northrop Grumman’s stealth bombers and Lockheed’s F-35s are the big winners, locking in years of steady cash as the Pentagon modernizes. Boeing’s still a fixer-upper, but if they get it together, it could be a wild ride. If you want to invest in defense, think steel and wings, not just software. #Business #Industry #investing00Share
Danielle Anderson+FollowIs Your 401(k) at Risk from the Yen Shake-Up?Heads up: Michael Burry (the guy from 'The Big Short') just warned that a big move in the Japanese yen could mess with U.S. stocks and bonds.
