Suburban voters in New York state’s 3rd District successfully flipped the Congressional seat previously occupied by expelled former Republican Representative George Santos.

If I told you in November 2021 that Tesla wouldn’t be one of the worst-performing S&P 500 stocks one month into 2024, it would be the worst performer, you’d have thought I’d lost my grasp of reality.  After all, Tesla shares had just hit an all-time high of $414.50 and looked like they would keep

The e-commerce sector has been a rollercoaster over the past few years, thanks to the ripples created by the pandemic.
