Should U.S. Investors Worry About the Recession in the Euro Zone? (5 minute read)
Picture this: the Eurozone, a big buddy of the U.S. in the global trade playground, might be in a bit of a pickle. Word on the street (okay, it's actually the latest PMI survey) is that they're likely heading into a recession – yes, that's back-to-back quarters of economic "ouch". Germany and France - usually the the cool kids of the Eurozone, are feeling the pinch too.

The UK is like that slow and steady tortoise, still growing, and China, although not the speedster it used to be, is chugging along at a respectable 5% growth rate. Now, the million-dollar question: Will Europe's slump be a party pooper for the U.S. economy, or will Uncle Sam come swooping in to save the day?

History Says the Nasdaq Will Surge in 2024: 1 Stock-Split Stock to Buy Before It Does (5 minute read)
Last year might have been a rollercoaster, but here's a tip for savvy investors: think long-term. Recently, there's been a bit of a revival in stock splits, and it's turning heads in the investment world. Why? Well, usually, when a company splits its stock, it's like a victory lap after years of solid growth. Take Amazon (AMZN) for example – it's not just your go-to for last-minute shopping. Over the past decade, this juggernaut's stock skyrocketed by a whopping 677%, which led them to split their shares in mid-2022. So, if you're eyeing those companies that have been playing the splitting game, remember, it's often a sign they've been doing something right for quite some time!

Big Banks Place Their Bets on AI (6 minute read)
JPMorgan is riding the AI wave like a surfer! They've just clinched the top spot on Evident AI’s Index for the second year running, showing everyone how it's done in the world of banking and artificial intelligence. They're leading the pack with some nifty innovation (think research and patents) and are pretty open about what they're up to. They also snagged second place for having a top-notch team and for being leaders in public communication.

New Car Holiday Deals: Right Now Is the Best Time in a Long Time to Buy (5 minute read)
Ho ho ho, car shoppers! The 2023 winter holiday season is shaping up to be a jolly good time to snag a new set of wheels. For the first time since April 2021, the average discount on a new vehicle has cruised over the $1,000 mark, says Edmunds. That's the gap between the sticker price and what you actually pay. Remember those days when new cars were playing hard to get, selling for more than their sticker prices due to high demand and shy inventories? Well, it looks like the tides are turning.

Historically, Santa's not the only one dishing out gifts in December – it's often the best month to buy a new car. With car lots getting fuller, expect to see some enticing cash rebates and financing deals that could make your holiday season a lot more merry and bright (and maybe a bit more mobile too!).
