When the Fed cuts rates while $SPY is trading near all-time highs (within 1%), the market usually falls sharply 2–3 months later.

Historically, the pattern is …
David Ellison-run Paramount Skydance is launching a hostile bid to buy Warner Bros. Discovery. Paramount will go straight to WBD shareholders with an all-cash, $30-per-share offer.

Something feels off at OpenAI. For a long time, people talked about it like it was untouchable, the company that would rewrite everything we know.
