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. The current bull market began on Oct. 12, 2022, and while every rally is different, history can provide important context. Bull markets last more than five years, on average. Since the current rally just entered its third year, there's a strong likelihood the Nasdaq will continue to gain ground next year. 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, […]

Ukraine’s secret weapon in its battle against Russia: crowdfunding

On April 27, 2023, Diana Kulyk's father told her he was leaving the next day to start training to fight Russia. She was filled with dread but knew she needed to act. Her hands shaking, Kulyk, a 24-year-old only child, tried to type the perfect tweet that would convince her roughly 20,000 followers to donate more than $3,000 for equipment that would help keep her father alive."Hello, this is the most important tweet I have ever written," she began. "I'm Diana Kulyk, daughter of Ruslan Kulyk. My father is a simple man, a baker by profession, a human being full of love and care. The person who took care of me since I came into this world. He needs help." Beneath the text were two images: a selfie of Diana and Ruslan smiling under golden-hour sunlight, and a spreadsheet of […]

Planning Commission advances Mission anti-displacement plan

Read Mission Local often?If so, consider supporting us — San Francisco’s premier independent, nonprofit newsroom — during end-of-year fundraising. We’re almost at our $200,000 goal! The San Francisco Planning Commission on Thursday voted unanimously to endorse the Mission Action Plan 2030 — an updated version of the city’s existing plan to fight displacement in one of the neighborhoods hardest hit by gentrification.The plan, said Miriam Chion, the director of community equity at the planning department, “becomes the compass for city strategies, program legislation and investments.”  The new plan largely maintains the city’s current priorities for the Mission — “secure funding at all levels” to build affordable housing, strengthen tenant protections for “vulnerable Mission Latino residents,” protect businesses and nonprofits in the area, and “preserve and promote cultural resources” across the neighborhood. But, in a nod to changing post-pandemic conditions along the Mission’s […]

La Doña headlines Encuentro del Canto Popular at the Chapel

Holding a fundraiser in a funeral home might not seem like a recipe for joy — or longevity. But after more than four decades, the Encuentro del Canto Popular continues to thrive as one of the region’s signature Latin music events. Launched as a one-off in 1982 by a young attorney named Bill Martinez and Juan Gonzalez — founder of the Mission newspaper El Tecolote — the first six-act program took place in the chapel of what was then Halsted & Co. Funeral Directors on Valencia Street.Over the years, the annual event has presented some of Latin American music’s most illustrious stars at venues around the city. But on Sunday, Dec. 8, the 43rd annual Encuentro returns to the same location where it started — which is now the music venue known as The Chapel. A fundraiser for the arts […]

Murder trial: Bob Lee used apparent knife for cocaine in new video

In a bombshell revelation on day two of closing arguments, Nima Momeni’s defense team said Cash App founder Bob Lee was using a knife to do cocaine hours before he ended up stabbed. The allegation, supported by a video shown to jurors today for the first time, may bolster the claim that Momeni, on trial for murder, stabbed Lee in self-defense after Lee attacked him with a knife.In the video, Lee and his friend Bo Mohazzabi are standing outside The Battery, a members-only club where they had drinks on the evening of April 3, 2023 — hours before Lee was killed. They each in turn bend forward to do a bump of apparent drugs off a long pointy object that protrudes out of Lee’s hand, and glints in the light. Lee can be seen digging the instrument into what appears to […]
