For many of us, it’s a daily snapshot of how weird the world feels right now. The headlines describe chaos: President Donald Trump’s upending of domestic and global politics, the shock of tariffs, the rise of artificial intelligence tools that could replace our jobs. But the numbers scream optimism: The US stock market is reaching all-time highs, with a basic S&P 500 index fund worth 90% more than three years ago. We’re anxious even as the markets are making us richer. The last time the market was this high was during the dot-com bubble of 1999. Once again, technology is driving the boom. A stock bubble? Maybe. But we’re in a feelings bubble for sure. November’s issue of Businessweek considers ways you could act on those feelings, whether you’re bullish, bearish or just private-markets curious. If your financial status is on the rise, you might be considering whether the perks of a premium credit card are right for you. If you’re just starting out, you might be thinking about a Robinhood account. The company itself is trying to grow up. If you’re looking to invest abroad, six industries are on the rise in Africa. This month’s cover story is about someone in politics trying to harness the feelings storm. California Governor Gavin Newsom is spoiling for a fight with Trump, armed with a podcast, a ballot measure and a parade of trolling tweets. |
