The secondary marketplace is viewed by many as a racket and faces widespread criticism " just look at reddit.com/stubhub and you'll see how people feel. It's a very profitable business.

6+ min ago (966+ words) The hardest part about day trading is the emotional battle, traders told BI about their professions. Those trying to turn a profit in markets said they often struggled with the toll of volatile trading days. They found measures such as seeing a psychologist and journaling to be helpful. Day trading isn't so much a science as it is an emotional test. That's the secret to day trading that outsiders don't seem to understand, retail traders told me at a recent happy hour in New York's Financial District. That distress is evident in the bird's-eye data, which tells a story of how common failure is among day traders. One 2020 study found that nearly all traders who persisted for more than 300 days ended up losing money, after accounting for fees. Just 1% were able to clear the bar for making minimum wage.

20+ min ago (737+ words) Cathie Wood, head of Ark Investment Management, is best known for betting on early-stage tech names and high-growth innovators. But occasionally she makes a move into the megacap space when she sees value. That's what Wood did in the past week (Thanksgiving Week), adding about $56 million worth of a megacap tech name, one of her largest recent purchases. Wood gained a reputation after the Ark Innovation ETF delivered a 153% return in 2020. Year-to-date, Wood's flagship Ark Innovation ETF (ARKK) is up about 38% as of Nov. 28, outpacing the S&P 500's gain of 16.45% in the same period. Wood's style brings sweet wins in rising markets but also painful losses in bearish ones, as seen in 2022, when the fund lost more than 60%. Those swings have weighed on her long-term results. As of Nov. 26, the Ark Innovation ETF has delivered a five-year annualized return…...

Robotics and rare earths are two such industries you'd want to look at right away. 10 stocks we like better than Symbotic " Two such stocks have caught my attention. Each has such compelling growth prospects that buying them now and holding them could yield monster returns over the next five years or so. Rare-earth elements technically aren't rare, but it's not easy to extract them in ways that are economically viable. China has a monopoly, accounting for almost 70% of the global rare-earth extraction. That also means 80% of the rare-earth elements consumed in the U.S. are imported, with nearly all of them coming from China. There is only one active rare-earth mine in the U.S.: the Mountain Pass in California, owned and operated by MP Materials…...

36+ min ago (1899+ words) Is it possible to live comfortably in retirement on Social Security income alone? Alden and Dena Swartz draw nearly $4,000 a month from Social Security, the government program designed to support Americans in retirement. And they are struggling. Gail Randle and her partner, Mike DellaVolpe, collect only $2,400 a month in Social Security benefits: Not quite $30,000 a year. And they are doing all right. "We are frugal people," said Randle, 73. "Almost everything in our house is recycled. Used, you know? Thrifted. But it looks nice. Everything works." Social Security was never intended to fund the full cost of retirement. On average, the benefit covers about 40% of a worker's preretirement earnings. And that figure could drop: Social Security will face a shortfall by 2035, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Most Americans think you need at least $1 million in the bank, on top of…...
