He thinks that this pace of unit growth, coupled with mid-single-digit comps, would help the company "sustain scarce top-line growth characteristics for many years to come." Total comparable sales growth came in at 2.7%, with e-commerce comps rising 21%.

After paying off $42,000 worth of debt, he got serious about investing and built up a six-figure net worth through "lazy investing" while saving for his first home simultaneously. He reacted to the 2022 downturn similarly to how he did when the stock market crashed in 2020: apathetically. These are Vanguard, Fidelity, and Schwab's total stock market index funds. Another component of the lazy investing strategy is periodic rebalancing. It probably shouldn't be any more than four times a year because then the 'lazy investing' turns a bit too hands on."

Even the skeptics of the latest hype cycle recounted during the Town Hall numerous examples of how AI is already embedded in more efficient business processes.

And what generative AI does, is really help you crunch, take your machine learning to, you know, the 'nth' level of the finite level. That may also place AI in the crosshairs of ESG investors, making sure that the ethics part is part of the mission of companies using it.

It mimics BNP Paribas’s (BNPP.PA) deal with European peer Exane, which the French group took over last year. SocGen research analysts cover around 500 mostly European stocks, according to JPMorgan, compared with AllianceBernstein’s more international coverage of roughly 800 companies. Second, the venture makes the French bank’s equities business less reliant on derivatives and structured products, which led to heavy losses in 2020. Trading cash equities and selling research typically chews up much less capital and leads to fewer blow-ups.
