Today? Goldman Sachs sounds crazy forecasting 3% returns for 2024 to 2034.
But we’re currently seeing the highest price for the S&P 500 compared to earnings since the dot-com boom.

Sounds crazy, but over 70,000 investors have followed suit since 2019—with Masterworks.

What Does Trump's "One AI Rule" Mean?
Don’t worry, this isn’t going to be a political post. I’m not rage-baiting (shoutout to the Oxford Dictionary) anyone on any side of the political spectrum.
Rather, I’m just sharing the facts. And in this case, the facts are that American President Donald Trump seems poised to release a new Executive Order this week establishing “One AI Rule” for America.
