Shiba Inu, PEPE Coin, or Bitgert Coin: Making the Right Choice© Provided by Cryptopolitan

The crypto market has been undergoing correction ever since Bitcoin lost track of its rising trajectory. After touching a formidable target of $73K, Bitcoin has been unable to look up and is trading between $66k and $68k. 

The most tantalizing gains have come from memecoins and mid-cap tokens like Bitgert. Solana is the new hub for launching memecoins this bull season. While altcoins have taken to followi...

Dow stocks are known as the bellwethers of the economy, and they are some of the most stable businesses in the world. But lately, some of the Dow stocks have been beaten up because they have missed some important industry changes.

As we look forward to 2024, I think the problems that Dow stocks Disney (NYSE: DIS), Intel (NASDAQ: INTC), and Verizon (NYSE: VZ) have faced over the past few years will turn around and provide opportunities for investors.

But hold on, says Harvard economist Ken Rogoff, former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

WASHINGTON (AP) — Chair Jerome Powell on Tuesday underscored the Federal Reserve's determination to keep raising interest rates until there is clear evidence inflation is steadily falling — a high-stakes effort that carries the risk of causing an eventual recession.

The Fed's increases in its benchmark short-term rate typically lead, in turn, to higher borrowing costs for consumers and businesses, including for mortgages, auto loans and credit cards.
