**Bank Safe During Recession? Here's What The Data Says**
J.P. Morgan just raised recession odds to 35% (was 25% mid-year), and the jobs report got a scary revision: 818k fewer positions added than thought. So naturally everyone's asking—should I yank my cash out of the bank?
Short answer: No. FDIC insurance covers up to $250k per account, and since 1934, zero depositors lost insured funds. Period.
But here's the context: During the Great Depression (1930-1933), over 9,000 U.S. banks failed and depositors lost $1.3B ($27.4B in today's money). Banks typically collapse from panic withdrawals, ba

The income threshold for the middle class in the United States will be announced in 2025, and it’s a bit heartbreaking.

Want to live a decent middle-class life? The income requirement has risen.
Latest data shows that the income range of the middle class in 100 major cities in the United States is between $49,000 and $71,000, which is a significant rise compared to last year. The biggest disparities are found in those tech cities —
Outrageous City Rankings
- Arlington, Virginia: The middle-class ceiling is as high as $280,000 (you read that right)
- San Jose, California: $272,000
- Irvine, California: $256,000
- San Francisco: $253,000
What about those traditional industrial cities?
- Detroit: You can be considered middle class for as little as $25,000.
- Cleveland: $26,000
State-level wealth gap
Massachusetts has surpassed New Jersey for the first time, becoming the state with the highest cost of living for the middle class (middle-class income range of $66,000 to $199,000). Meanwhile, Mississippi is the cheapest, with costs ranging from $36,000 to $108,000.

Diamond Hands vs Paper Hands: Why Meme Stocks Don't Make Money

The story of Beyond Meat once again proves a harsh reality: retail investors can pump up bad stocks to the sky, but the ceiling is right there.
What happened
In October this year, BYND experienced a surge of 1400% within a week due to the conversion of convertible bonds into stocks (316 million new shares) that sparked a frenzy on social media. It looked great, but after peaking on October 22, it plummeted by 79%, only selling for over 2 yuan by the end of the month.
In this wave of speculation, the daily trading volume reached 2.2 billion shares—what does this mean? Each stock changed hands more than an average of 5 times. The data clearly tells you: the vast majority of people are short-term traders, not what you call "diamond hands" (long-term holders).
Why did the Diamond Hands strategy fail here?
Diamond Hands is an old meme from the GameStop movement - no matter how much the stock price drops, just hold on tight. This logic is in "good money

**Americans are delaying retirement: What is the truth?**
I just saw a survey data that is a bit heartbreaking - more than 1/3 of American adults plan to delay retirement. The reason is very straightforward:
▸ Insufficient deposit (51%)
▸ Inflation Pressure (46%)
▸ Economic environment deteriorating (32%)
What’s even more heart-wrenching is that the average retirement savings for Americans is only $200,000, while the financial company Fidelity recommends saving $560,000+ (calculated as 9 times the annual salary). That’s a direct difference of three times.

Late Bloomers Win: Why Most Billionaires Made Their First Billion After 40

Marк Zuckerberg 23岁成为自造富豪?对不起,这哥们就是个异类。
真实情况是:大多数顶级富豪都是"晚熟型"——他们在40岁之后才跨越十亿美元大关。
看看这些数据就懂了:
- 巴菲特 55岁才成为亿万富豪(但32岁就赚到了第一个百万)
- 埃隆·马斯克 41岁登上福布斯亿万富豪榜(2012年)
- 理查德·布兰森 41岁突破十亿(虽然23岁就成了百万富翁)
- 奥普拉·温弗瑞 49岁成为美国首位黑人女性亿万富豪
为啥会这样? 因为财富不是一夜暴富,而是——
✓ 多年的积累和迭代(詹姆斯·戴森做了5127个吸尘器原型)
✓ 正确的投资和商业决策
✓ 在对的时机做对的事(马斯

SBF's Private Writings Leak: Still Blaming Everyone Else
NYT just dropped leaked diary entries from Sam Bankman-Fried's house arrest days. Plot twist? Dude still hasn't figured out he's the problem.
The wildest part: "I'm broke and wearing an ankle monitor... probably never make my lifetime impact net positive." Broke? You literally lost $8 BILLION of customer money. People lost life savings. But sure, let's cry about your ruined reputation.
And then this gem: "I did what I thought was right." Classic ends-justify-the-means playbook that got him locked up in the first place.

Has Buffett's "permanent holding" persona collapsed?
Many people quote Buffett's famous sayings, but they overlook a truth: his publicly held stock portfolio actually has a relatively high turnover rate. Companies like American Express and Coca-Cola are exceptions; what he truly "permanently holds" are those private enterprises.
In other words, the label "never sell" is more attached to the entire companies that Berkshire has bought, rather than the stock portfolio. Blindly copying Buffett's holdings may lead to pitfalls. To understand his true trading logic, it is essential to dis

**Druckenmiller's latest moves refresh market perspectives**
Legendary fund manager Druckenmiller has significantly adjusted his portfolio over the past year: he sold all positions in NVIDIA, Palantir, and Eli Lilly, and made a large purchase of Alphabet and Meta.
The data makes it clear—this guy's logic is very clear. The three stocks that were liquidated have skyrocketed over the years (NVDA increased by 1000% in 3 years, PLTR increased by 2000%), and their valuations have hit a ceiling. Druckenmiller openly stated in an interview last year that "overvaluation" was the main reason fo

Warren Buffett's investment strategy just flagged Costco (COST) as a solid bet. The retail giant scores 79% on Buffett's Patient Investor model—pretty close to the 80% threshold where things get interesting. What's catching his eye? Costco checks almost all the boxes: predictable earnings, low debt, solid returns on equity and capital, strong free cash flow, and smart use of retained earnings. The only miss? Current valuation isn't screaming "buy now" (that Initial Rate of Return test failed). Still, the expected return looks decent. Bottom line: This is the kind of boring, reliable business B

BJ's vs Costco: Is cheap merchandise really a good deal?

There is an interesting question: why is it that both are membership-based warehouse retailers, but Costco's valuation can sell at 44 times PE, while BJ's Wholesale Club (NYSE: BJ) is only at 19 times?
You will understand it after comparing the data.
BJ's recent quarterly performance:
- Revenue increased by 4.9% year-on-year to $5.35 billion
- Comparable sales growth was only 1.1% (1.8% after excluding oil price fluctuations)
- Membership fee revenue increased by 9.8%, reaching $126 million.
- Operating profit fell by 4.8%, and net profit declined by 2.4% - the reasons are rising labor costs and advertising expenses.
The story of Costco is completely different:
- Revenue growth of 8.2%, reaching 275.2 billion USD
- Comparable sales (excluding oil prices and exchange rates) increased by 6.4%
- Over 900 stores, BJ's has less than 300 stores.

Is Alibaba undervalued? Why does Wall Street say it has a 70% rise potential?

An interesting comparison comes: US tech giants are soaring in value due to AI hype, with the S&P 500 valuation skyrocketing to a 30x PE (historical average 20x), which seems a bit inflated. Meanwhile, Chinese tech stocks have been neglected, with Alibaba being a typical example.
What is the current situation:
Although Alibaba's stock price has risen by 80% this year, it is still 50% lower than its historical high. The valuation is only 18 times next year's EPS, which is unbelievably cheap. There is a story behind this—an antitrust fine of $2.8 billion in 2021, tightening of privacy protection, combined with the impact of the pandemic and the slowdown of the Chinese economy, resulted in only a 2% revenue growth for the 2023 fiscal year.
But the turning point has come:
In the past two years, Alibaba has started to rebound. Although the growth rate of domestic e-commerce has slowed down, overseas markets (Southeast Asia's Lazada, Turkey's Trendyol, South Asia's Daraz) have become new engines. The cloud computing business has also revived—companies are scrambling to adopt AI, and Alibaba's Qwen large model is thriving.

# Settlement Just Got 24 Hours Faster—Here's What Changes

Old way: Sell stocks on Tuesday → funds arrive Thursday
New way: Sell stocks on Tuesday → funds arrive Wednesday
