This article was published in partnership with The Marshall Project, a nonprofit news organization covering the U.S. criminal justice system, Reveal and Mother Jones.Amairani Salinas was 32 weeks pregnant with her fourth child in 2023 when doctors at a Texas hospital discovered that her baby no longer had a heartbeat.

The Wall Street Analyst Who Suggested Bitcoin Could Reach $100,000 a Decade Ago Now Says There Is a Small Chance It Replaces the U.S. Dollar Entirely and Reaches $5 Million

In December 2013, a Wall Street analyst working at a sell-side shop outside of the more prestigious bulge bracket banks published what could be the first sell-side research report about an interesting somewhat new digital asset called Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC). Ever heard of it? Working for Wedbush at the time, Gil Luria in his report said many things about Bitcoin. He called it a disruptive payment technology and said there is a "meaningful probability Bitcoin (the specific currency/conduit) may not succeed." Luria also called it a "safe haven currency" and said there are scenarios Bitcoin could trade at 10 to 100 times its current price. Bitcoin traded at abut $1,000 at the time. All in all, that's a pretty good research note when you consider that Bitcoin briefly surpassed $100,000 earlier this month. Start Your Mornings Smarter! Wake up with Breakfast […]

History Says the Nasdaq Will Surge in 2025. 1 Stock-Split Stock to Buy Before It Does.

The Nasdaq Composite has been on fire over the past couple of years, driven higher by the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), improving economic conditions, an uncontested election, and the Federal Reserve Bank's recent moves to cut interest rates. After returning 43% in 2023, the tech-centric index is up roughly 30% in 2024. History suggests the rally will likely continue into 2025.

It's also worth noting that the Nasdaq has generated gains 73% of the time, dating back 53 years, so history is on the side of investors. Finally, […]
