Some say the Instant Pot has passed its expiry date, but I couldn't disagree more. podcast by Curbed, one guest said people who owned an Instant Pot often talked about it as if it was their lover. Instant Brands continues to operate after filing for bankruptcy protection, but the Instant Pot is seemingly no longer the company's golden goose. I may be in the minority, but I'll passionately continue using my Instant Pot until the day it finally runs out of steam.

The news: Morgan Stanley said Alphabet, Amazon (AMZN) and Meta are among the stocks that are best positioned to capture long-term gains from maturing artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. AI has the ability to "accelerate digital transformation, change consumer behavior and drive more durable multi-year digital growth," Morgan Stanley analysts wrote in a research note this week. Moreover, this "AI Effect" could create a $780 billion online advertising opportunity, with "GOOGL and META as the largest beneficiaries," according to Morgan Stanley. The Club take: The Morgan Stanley note is further validation of just how real the generative AI opportunity is. So, it's encouraging to see Morgan Stanley paint a positive picture about Apple in the near-to-medium term.

Kade Peterson, 24, wanted to be an Amazon seller after witnessing his older brother become successful at it. Together with his brother, he went to an overstocked goods store with the Amazon Seller app in hand. Tips from lessons learnedAfter noticing that some products sold immediately and others never sold, he realized that he could use an Amazon metric known as an Amazon Best Sellers Rank (BSR). But there are some brands that don't allow anyone to sell their products, no matter how long you've been an Amazon seller, he noted.
