When I rode in an autonomous vehicle four years ago, I was struck by two things. The first was the pit-of-your-stomach gut flutter I felt when the packed sedan propelled itself onto a busy San Jose, Calif., thoroughfare.

Americans still want to keep up with the Joneses. That’s one major takeaway some 18 months into the pandemic, with household debt rising 2.1% in the second quarter to a record $15 trillion, booking its largest quarterly climb in almost eight years, according to the latest report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

There’s no getting around it: it’s all about that $15 resistance level for folks who own Ocugen (NASDAQ:OCGN) shares. Frustratingly, OCGN stock bumped its head against that price point in February, and then again in May.

The other shoe has finally dropped on one lovelorn exec. The former chief financial officer of a high-end Massachusetts shoe maker has been sentenced to almost six years in prison for embezzling $30 million to help finance the career ambitions of a one-time TV newscaster he had fallen for.

In the 1980s, the field of genetics surged in popularity. At the time, I’m sure there were many articles promising investors that genetics stocks were on the cusp of spectacular gains. Investors who were looking for short-term payoffs then were disappointed, but now, gene editing stocks look far more promising. Researching the genetic origin behind
