Neal Freiman:未来一百年,AI、AR/VR和反垄断科技将是重要的历史事件。AI要么成为改变我们生活的变革性技术,要么成为巨大的泡沫。AR/VR技术可能取代iPhone。如果谷歌被拆分,并引发大规模的反垄断执法行动,这将是具有历史意义的事件。 Toby Howell:除了科技行业,其他行业也可能对未来产生重大影响,例如航空业。长寿研究和抗衰老技术也是未来重要的研究方向。 Toby Howell:汽车销售商的降价幅度、香槟销量下降以及超级碗获胜球队都可以作为经济指标。男式内衣销量和理发频率也可以作为经济指标,因为在经济困难时期,人们可能会推迟购买内衣和理发。

A Bond Account is a self-directed brokerage account with Public Investing, member FINRA/SIPC and includes 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. As of 10/8/2024, the average, annualized yield to worst (YTW) across all ten bonds is greater than 6%. A bond’s YTW is not “locked in” until the bond is purchased and is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTW of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity or if the issuer defaults on the bond. While corporate bond yields should fall in reaction to a Federal Reserve rate cut, there is no way to know whether that will be true of the bonds in the Bond Account, how quickly bond yields will respond, or by how much they will decline. Bond Accounts are not recommendations of individual bonds or default allocations. The bonds in the Bond Account have not been selected based on your needs or risk profile. All investing involves risk. Public Investing charges a markup on each bond trade. High Yield bonds carry greater risk of default.* *Visit public.com/bond-account )to learn more.
