  QUESTION: Marty, I know you warned about a bubble in 2000, and I think you were talking about capital inflows from China and Europe because of the coming Euro.  Is this the same outcome as the Dow rising now out of fear of war, and will it eventually create a bubble here like in 2000? REPLY: Bubble are always a result of CAPITAL CONCENTRATION which our computer picks up in tracking international capital flows. This is the video clip from the February 1999 WEC. Back then, our number for the breakout was 9750 on the Dow. Once that was exceeded,…

The day I got put on my performance improvement plan (or PIP) in my content marketing job, I drove back to an Appalachian folk magic store I’d happened into the weekend prior. I bought a bottle of Boss Fix Oil, a “conjuring oil” touted as a way of “improving work dynamics.” I’m not a particularly spiritual man, but I truly was at my wit’s end. I’d been in this role for nearly a year, and in my 25 years of working, I’d never struggled this badly to prove my professional worth. A little Googling—and texts from friends—produced the same verdict:…

COMMENT: Sarah is right. Your computer has been unbeatable. You said from the beginning that Zelensky was the problem. You also said there was no way Iran would end quickly against everyone. You said civil unrest would rise dramatically in France, and you even pinpointed the rise in civil unrest in the UK. I think we can all see why they wanted your source code. Blaise Pascal came up with probability theory to solve a gambling problem. You discovered capital flows as a hedger and international adviser. They can’t ignore you forever. Those who won’t acknowledge what you have created are…

Mark Zuckerberg hand-delivered homemade soup to OpenAI researchers’ front doors in an attempt to recruit them. Elon Musk pledged to personally read every SpaceX AI application—no résumé required; pedigree optional. When the world’s richest founders are cold-calling engineers with soup and big-figure job offers, it’s clear the AI talent war has reached a new, absurd level. But Meta and SpaceX aren’t the only ones taking outlandish measures to attract talent in the tightest hiring market in tech history. The median base salary for startup engineers is $200,000, a 25% increase since 2022 and a far cry from the equity-first model…

https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/UK-Roy-Walker-Time-to-Fight.mp4 Look, I am warning our European readers: Brussels is desperate. They are scared to death of the AfD in Germany and of Marine Le Pen in France, who is at about 46% in the polls at this time for the April 2027 election. This means Brussels will create some sort of false flag to justify war, and this could come as soon as this November but no later than February/March 2027, ahead of the April French elections. Look, all governments are the same. Instead of simply admitting that allowing all the migrants into Europe was a STUPID idea,…

At least eight states are suing artificial intelligence giant OpenAI, saying the company’s popular chatbot model violated state consumer protection laws by hurting children and deceiving adults in what prosecutors described as a reckless pursuit of profit. The company’s chatbot model, ChatGPT, is giving dangerous medical advice, encouraging paranoia, and coaching people to kill themselves or hurt or kill others, the lawsuits said. At the same time, the lawsuits contend that chatbots are pretending to be agreeable and compassionate while preying on the vulnerable and on teenagers, the first generation to grow up with artificial intelligence. “OpenAI is hurting kids and they are…

For the generation that grew up with devices at their fingertips and social media as an extension of their life, a new shift is pushing Gen Z away from the screen and toward the real world. A 2026 report by Quad and The Harris Poll explored how consumer behavior is changing in favor of physical experiences, finding that “real is the new premium.” The shift seems to be driven by fatigue from scrolling, texting, emailing, and using AI tools. While nearly a third of older generations agree with the sentiment, Gen Z is leading in fatigue, with 49% of those polled…

It’s never been a better—or worse—time to be a tech founder as Hollywood turns its lens on the bizarre and often controversy-filled lives of Silicon Valley leaders. But among the sea of film projects diving deep into the topic of tech CEOs, one appears to be quickly taking the crown. Zuck in a rut First came Aaron Sorkin’s A-lister-filled continuation of The Social Network, a highly acclaimed 2010 biographical drama of the birth of Facebook. More than a decade later, the new film, The Social Reckoning, serves as a check-in with Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg and his social media empire, with…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Early-stage companies often rely on the founder’s judgment, and for good reason. But as you grow, you have to learn to delegate to give your team the confidence to make decisions without you. Don’t just hire people to execute — hire people who genuinely want to learn. Give your employees enough trust to surprise you with the way they step up to the plate. When I started Infragistics, I was used to solving problems myself. That was partly because I had to. We were a small company with limited resources…

As someone who’s kept a smart display on the kitchen counter for the last eight years, I should be among the target audience for Apple HomeView. My Lenovo Smart Display is one of the best gadgets I’ve ever owned, mainly because it’s always cycling through family photos that I’d otherwise surely forget. In addition to being a constant source of fond memories for me and my family, it is also occasionally useful for kitchen timers, music, weather forecasts, and managing the grocery list. HomeView, which launches next month for $299, brings an Apple-like layer of polish to the smart display…
