Dollar Tree said recently it was selling its Family Dollar division at a great loss. So I noted with great…

Out on Long Island, Kristie D’Ambrosio-Correll is building the first automotive business both founded and led by a female CEO. (Of course, it’s not the first to be led by a female CEO, with GM chief Mary Barra an icon of the auto industry.) D’Ambrosio-Correll, 37, is the founder of Dacora, an ultra-luxury…

Amid a cloudy outlook, they’ll reveal either good economic fortune or a downturn.  On the one hand, interest rate cuts could mean the Federal Reserve has finally deemed the threat of inflation has passed and economic forecasts stable again after the tariff-induced uncertainty. That is the outcome investors and President Donald Trump would most welcome. But until any of that uncertainty subsides, interest rates will remain where they are.  There is, however, one scenario, in which rate cuts aren’t a sign of eagerly awaited relief but of the start of…

It started in 2016 as a specialist in crypto mining—a term for using computers to process transactions and secure a cryptocurrency’s network. Amid crypto’s volatile ups and downs, CoreWeave shifted its business to AI in 2019.  Now, CoreWeave has helped another crypto mining operation fully pivot. On Monday, the company announced its plans to acquire Core Scientific, a publicly traded Bitcoin miner.…
