Still, many financial advisors remain wary. "As traditional long-term planners, we currently do not incorporate crypto in our portfolio allocations," said certified financial planner Marianela Collado, CEO of Tobias Financial Advisors in Plantation, Florida. To be sure, regulatory uncertainty remains a clear area of concern for financial advisors when it comes to recommending crypto investments to clients. In April, when crypto prices were lower, an annual survey of 2,000 financial advisors by Cerulli Associates found that 59% don't currently use cryptocurrencies or plan to in the future. Spot bitcoin ETFs, first available in January, now have more than $100 billion in assets under management, which is about 1% of the overall ETF market.

The ETF Store president Nate Geraci credits President-elect Donald Trump's win with a key role in the price surge. "I think you're seeing that reflected in crypto prices. You're going to see that reflected in a proliferation of crypto ETFs coming market." Invesco's Hartigan agrees that the regulatory tailwind may be opening up bitcoin ETFs for even more opportunities. I think that's a huge opportunity for the asset class," Hartigan added.

☆ August Wilson, a Theater Titan Who Spun Gold in Diners

Mamet’s title came back to me while I was reading Patti Hartigan’s biography of another essential American playwright, August Wilson. Wilson, who died in 2005, spent so much time lingering in diners that “Writing in Restaurants” is a plausible alternative subtitle for Hartigan’s “August Wilson: A Life.”Wilson was a large, bearded man, often in tweeds and a pageboy cap. He’d sit in the back with a cup of coffee and an overflowing ashtray. As his fame grew, he’d find a place in each city where his plays were staged. It was his daily slice of experimental theater.

☆ The Playwright Who Changed the Face of American Theater

Yoshimura had been told that he would succeed only if he wrote plays about Asian Americans, but Wilson assured him that was nonsense. Yoshimura intuited that his friend was “deeply wounded” and didn’t push the issue. At the preconference, they both told Wilson that the play needed cuts. (Helen Hayes had been in the audience that night, and she left after the first act, reportedly saying, “I think I’ve had enough theater for one night.”) Wilson took out a long monologue about bones walking on water, a poetic piece of writing. Eugene O’Neill wrote about the fog in his masterpiece, “Long Day’s Journey Into Night.” “How thick the fog is,” he wrote.

☆ Aliniere excepțională a planetelor Jupiter și Saturn în 21 decembrie: Fenomen extrem de rar
▼ + stars: | 2020-12-19 | by ( ) www.jurnal.md time to read: +2 min

Cum se întâmplă și cât de rar este fenomenulLa solstițiul de iarnă din 21 decembrie, Jupiter și Saturn vor părea, văzute de pe Pământ, ca o singură stea strălucitoare, pentru că orbitele de 12 și 29 de ani ale celor două planete se aliniază. Ultima conjuncție dintre ele a avut loc în mai 2000, dar poziția sa pe cer a făcut-o dificil de văzut de pe pământ. Mulți astronomi consideră de asemenea că steaua din Betleem din Biblie, care i-a ghidat pe cei 3 magi, ar fi putut fi tot o mare conjuncție între Jupiter și Saturn. Pe de altă parte, steaua din Betleem ar fi putut fi, de asemenea, o conjuncție între Venus și Jupiter. Tot ce este necesar este o noapte cu cer senin și un punct de observație fără clădiri sau copaci în cale pentru a vedea „marea conjuncție” dintre Jupiter și Saturn, potrivit Cambridge Independent.

Perechea de planete va apărea pe cerul nopții aproximativ o oră după apusul Soarelui, în fiecare seară în perioada menționată, potrivit astronomilor. Dacă speri să vezi fenomenul, va trebui să-ți îndrepți telescopul spre vest, pe cer. Deși acest tip de aliniere nu a avut loc încă din Evul Mediu, se va întâmpla din nou destul de curând, în martie 2080. După aceea, Jupiter și Saturn nu se vor apropia la fel de aproape până în 2400. Când avem de-a face cu astfel de intervale mari de timp, merită întotdeauna să fii la curent cu ceea ce se întâmplă în sistemul solar – nu vrei să ratezi ceva incredibil, un eveniment spațial extrem de rar.
