For some time, markets have been grappling with a handful of counteracting dynamics, including the clash between the bulls and the bears, the interplay between stimulus and inflation, and the delicate balance between growth and rate hikes.
Utter the dreaded words “credit crunch” and everyone is immediately haunted by the ghosts of 2008. Danger seems to be lurking around every corner.
The recent wave of extreme weather—from ‘atmospheric rivers’ drenching the drought-ridden west coast, to the unprecedented series of tornadoes ripping through the Midwest—are a perfect parallel to what investors experienced in March.
Navigating an environment where good news turns to bad news and soft landings become ‘no landings’ (quicker than we can even take notes) feels like taking a test we haven’t studied for. It’s exhausting.
While much of the healthcare industry’s attention over the past two years has been fixated on delivering vaccinations and remedies for Covid, researchers have been quietly focused on another important innovation aimed at effectively detecting and monitoring cancer.

As I inched from one day to the next throughout 2022, I kept finding myself thinking (and hoping) that the time may have finally arrived to ‘board the stock market.’
November certainly finished strong as equities seemed to be getting into the ‘holiday spirit.’
As trick-or-treaters (and those of us with leftover treats at home) battle the inevitable post-Halloween sugar high, investors may be wondering if it’s time for the market, too, to come down from its own ‘candy high’ and get back to normal.
Following some brief incremental hope last month, equity prices around the world experienced intense volatility and, ultimately, closed the month with stunning declines.

It’s fair to say no one has ever been more excited to turn the page and begin a new year than we all were on New Year’s Eve in 2020. In many ways, 2020 qualified as the worst year in recent memory. The global pandemic resulted in nearly 2 million deaths (so far) and caused a disastrous economic tsunami that stretched across the globe. Businesses were devastated, jobs were lost, and supply chains were disrupted. And yet, somehow, someway, the markets managed to exceed all expectations.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is proving to be one of the most disruptive forces in technology in decades.
Facebook. Apple. Amazon. Netflix. Google. These are the infamous FAANG stocks that make up every investor’s dream portfolio—as long as they got in early in the game.
Automation is nothing new. Humans have been automating our dull, dirty, and dangerous work for decades—from the earliest agricultural machinery to today’s high-speed welding robots used in manufacturing.
The convergence of robotics, machine intelligence, and life sciences is enabling breakthrough advancements that touch every aspect of healthcare.

2020 is destined to be known as the year of the coronavirus, when "social distancing" and "WFH" became common parlance. But for investors, we'll also look back at 2020 as a game-changing year for e-commerce stocks. For many of us, the COVID-19 pandemic quickly turned e-commerce from a convenience into a necessity, and changed how we do business, who we shop with and how companies operate.
