Dear Quentin, My dad and his second wife moved to Texas for their golden years.  Unfortunately, he died unexpectedly last September. He had been battling a terminal disease. He was immunocompromised, and a double whammy of pneumonia and COVID-19 was just too much. My stepmother said if I claimed a share of their house, I

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) continues to deliver stellar financial results as it remains the runaway market leader in providing the chips that are used to produce artificial intelligence.

A four-month-long U.S. stock market rally, partly fueled by investors’ expectations for interest rate cuts in 2024 by the Federal Reserve, faces a test posed by pair of big events in the week ahead. The first is Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s semiannual testimony to Congress on Wednesday and Thursday, followed by Friday’s official jobs

The fourth quarter (Q4) shined bright for hedge funds, marking it a standout period in the investment realm.

My stance on Chinese EV maker Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock has changed, and I now see more relative upside for the company’s competitors, looking at this space more broadly. However, there are reasons investors may consider this stock an excellent long-term play in this market. I was once bullish on Nio, and I can understand the

Dear Quentin, I wanted to share my experience with the current housing market and ask for advice on my next moves in a seemingly impossible situation. Let’s take a trip back to 2017. I was married at the time with three young children, and my then-wife and I were renters. We both worked the best

The robotaxi industry looks like it has more legs than the electric vehicle (EV) market at this point. Where EV sales are falling and the companies producing them are in decline or failing, the electric vertical take and landing (eVTOL) industry is ramping up. Joby Aviation (NYSE:JOBY) looks every bit the industry leader it is.

There’s no question Warren Buffett has a love affair with Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). The billionaire investor built up a position in the tech giant that allowed AAPL stock to account for almost half of Berkshire Hathaway‘s (NYSE:BRK-A)(NYSE:BRK-B) portfolio value.

A million dollars doesn’t go very far in the most expensive real-estate markets in the world. According to the 2024 Knight Frank Wealth Report, $1 million would only buy 16 square meters of prime property in Monaco, the tiny but extremely wealthy country perched on the Mediterranean coast. For context, a typical studio or one-bedroom
