In whom do we trust? Diversifying with gold, bitcoin and other decentralized assets

by Frank Holmes

As I see it, decentralized assets have never looked more attractive than they do now. That includes gold, silver and bitcoin, and you could also make the case for collectibles such as art.

by Geoffrey Dohrmann

Where do we go? That’s the question paramount on many investors’ minds these days. Oil and related energy costs may have peaked, signaling a potential end to the latest inflation cycle. The economy has been slowing but still appears to remain relatively strong and sustainable. But the massive U.S. federal debt that has been run up and is now being added to via the funding of recently enacted federal programs remains a concern.

5 Questions: Venture capital and the missing gender

by Mike Consol with Julie Castro Abrams

Julie Castro Abrams is founder and CEO of How Women Lead, a network of more than 14,000 executive women. The organization recently conducted a study that assessed how women invest in startups.
