The great story
Don’t let the recessive

The economy may get a diving, but you don’t have to let it take you down with it.
After a few months that everyone is excited about what the future could carry for the American economy, things have taken a noticeable turn. Scary words like “recession” and “stagflation” are jumping around, and the only thing that seems safe under current administration is more uncertainty.
The type of environment that can make the head rotate. Lucky for you, we turned to experts. Business Insider Matthew Fox got advice from financial planners for what you can do to prepare for the worst. (And no, they are not just telling you to put your money in bonds.)
In fact, the best advice is more exciting than financial: don’t be scared. When times become difficult, people tend to want to react. But the reality is that markets move quickly, especially these days, and you don’t want to get caught selling assets between what can be just a mini drop.
Moreover, if the economy goes south, you can be better to bow to chaos instead of withdrawing. I’m not a financial adviser, so don’t get this as advice, but history has proven that those who were willing to buy dives usually benefited in the long run.

But how did we get here first?
Just a few months ago, things seemed ready to be removed. S&P 500 was setting record levels. Bankers are lick their pieces in the possible course of the agreement. Everyone was ready to knock.
The market has sang a different tune for the last few weeks.
Many people are pointing their fingers with tariffs. The trade plan would have become a game thought that game investors do not seem to be interested in playing anymore.
Anyway, said Philip de Mott I BI This is not the only thing that is obstructing shares. The delegation that is expected under Trump and its cryptic hug have not led to debt in the industry.
Keyelast is that the last pond: anyhow. The administration has been set for less than two months. Many can still be shaken. However, the willingness of investors to wait remains to be seen.

3 things in marketing
1. Payments of private capital. To get an impulse how many people do in the PE, Bi combined through H-1B jobs and visa data for a dozen firms, including Blackstone, Apollo and KKR. Good news: Wages are steep, and a study by Odyssey’s research partners found that rewards can make Bigwigs expect compensation above $ 1 million a year.

3. The US government now has a Bitcoin reserve. President Trump recently signed an executive order for the creation of a strategic reserve of Bitcoin but, Peter Kafka writesIt is unclear what to do and why The US must have one. The US already owns a bunch of Bitcoin, and many cryptos fans thought Trump’s plan would be to go out and buy more. This does not seem to be the case now.
3 things in technology
1. How to track parts of the US. Last May, luiziana reclassified misoprostol and mifepristone – both are commonly used to promote abortions – as “controlled substances”, allowing recipes to be monitored. This determination is usually applied to drugs at risk of abuse. Technology companies, like Bamboo Health, can do the basics of the great state recipe monitoring. Bi revealed that while being created to investigate doctors for wrongdoing, these programs may have wider implications For their clinics and patients.
2. That agent is coming to the army. The scale he, starting $ 13.8 billion poisoned by Alexandr Wang, secured a Dod contract Integrate the agents of it in military decision making. The contract is the first of its kind and cement is the partnership between technology and the military.
3 In fact, you need those low performers. Large technology companies such as Meta and Microsoft have created brutal performance -based cuts this year, making the 2025 de facto of low performers. But in reality, that management tactic Hurts business in the long run. An initial increase in productivity is offset by loss of quality, morality and, ultimately, benefit.

3 Some elderly Americans return to blue collar. Side Hustles and blue collar work have held some former white collar professionals in the sea while they sail the labor market. Bi heard from Dozens of these elderly Americans who have fought with the roles of landing after a dismissal. The lowest payment, a need for specialized qualifications and résumé dilemmas are among the challenges.
