☆ The stock market's bull rally could last another 5 years, but it'll end in a 'spectacular bursting of a bubble,' veteran tech investor Gene Munster says

The stock market's current bull rally could last for another 5 years, according to tech analyst Gene Munster. Munster said a new crop of AI companies will go public and drive a boom in the stock market. But Munster expects the stock market rally to morph into a bubble that eventually bursts. Instead, much of the upside that Gene sees inflating the stock market bubble will come from smaller AI-focused companies. AdvertisementAnd while Munster sees the stock market rally morphing into a bubble that comes to a painful end towards the end of the decade, that doesn't mean investors should avoid owning stocks.

The trick to getting ahead at work isn't being the fastest learner or the smartest in the room — it's having a positive attitude, says Amazon CEO Andy Jassy. Jassy, who took the top job at Amazon after Jeff Bezos stepped down in 2021, shared his "best career advice" in a new interview with LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky. "I think an embarrassing amount of how well you do, particularly in your 20s, has to do with attitude," Jassy, 56, said. Having a positive attitude means you work well on a team and honor deadlines, among other strengths. Regardless of where you're at in your career, having a positive attitude can help you build stronger relationships in the workplace.

☆ Biden’s China Tariffs Are the End of an Era for Cheap Chinese Goods
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-18 | by ( Jim Tankersley | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

For the first two decades of the 21st century, many consumer products on America’s store shelves got less expensive. A wave of imports from China and other emerging economies helped push down the cost of video games, T-shirts, dining tables, home appliances and more. Those imports drove some American factories out of business, and they cost more than a million workers their jobs. Stung by shuttered factories, cratered industries and prolonged wage stagnation, Americans in 2016 elected a president who vowed to hit back at China on trade. In separate but overlapping efforts, former President Donald J. Trump and President Biden have sought to revive and protect American factories by making it more expensive to buy Chinese goods.

The United Nations partitioned historic Palestine to create the states of Israel and Palestine, but also left Palestinians with decades of false promises. So what is international law actually for?

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Friday reviewed the performance of GigaCloud Technology , a company that offers business-to-business ecommerce systems for large parcel merchandise, like furniture. GigaCloud's stock has soared since it became public in 2022, putting up some great earnings reports, according to Cramer. But last fall, a report from short-seller firm Culper Research called some of the company's business methods into question. Culper also claimed an investigator it sent to some of the company's U.S. warehouses observed "laughably sparse activity" there. "If you take everything about the story at face value, then buying GigaCloud would be a no-brainer," he said.

Now, the regulator says it's no longer looking into Microsoft's investment in Mistral. It has given no update on its inquiries into the Amazon-Inflection deal and into Microsoft's hiring of employees from Inflection. Microsoft previously denied its deals with OpenAI and Mistral and hiring of employees from Inflection constituted mergers. Amazon has also said that its partnership with Anthropic represents a limited corporate investment, not a merger.
