It has been a wild first half of the year on Wall Street, with stocks initially crashing into a bear market on trade war fears in the first quarter, only to rebound back to all-time highs in the second quarter for their best quarterly performance in years.

But beneath the surface chaos, one thing became crystal clear: AI is the defining investment trend of this decade.…

Hello, Reader. Tom Yeung here with today’s Smart Money. It was like trying to squeeze blood out of a stone.

So, I thought solar would be a stretch. Still, I forced myself to stand up in front…

Jungfrau A. Bietschhorn This region is a magnificent area with high mountain ranges, glaciers and is actually the most glaciated part of the European Alps. Visiting this area can be done relatively easy by car and if you want to go up, by train up to 3,400 metres above sea level, the highest train ride in Europe, the Jungfrau Railway is very impressive (and expensive!). The area is on the UNESCO World Heritage list because of its unique and wide range of flora and fauna and geological importance regarding the creating of the High Alps.
