To Lower Your Taxes in 2024, Make These Moves Now

A new tax year is a great time to make smart tax moves and avoid dumb ones. This difference matters a lot because taxes are often the largest factor affecting investment returns in a portfolio.

Bitcoin Rose on Rumors in 2023. How to Predict What Comes Next.

Bitcoin may be a relatively new technology. It can still follow some pretty old market maxims.Back in October postings on X, formerly known as Twitter, suggested that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission had finally approved the listing of a BlackRock exchange-traded fund that would directly track the price of bitcoin. It was quickly clear that this wasn’t correct. The SEC has delayed decisions on so-called spot ETFs, with some key deadlines now in 2024.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Tech Hubs Are Losing the Talent War to Everywhere Else

Mary Barra Spent a Decade Transforming GM. It Hasn’t Been Enough.

Updated Dec. 16, 2023 12:04 am ETListen to article(2 minutes)At a 2018 meeting with a senior General Motors team, Chief Executive Mary Barra stunned the room with a sharp U-turn. She killed plans for a new high-end Cadillac that already had gushing reviews from the automotive press. Her reason: the car’s gas-guzzling V-8 engine. Barra, deep into her quest to turn GM into an electric-car powerhouse, decided it would send the wrong message to showcase another splashy Cadillac—the GM brand known for innovation—that leans on fossil-fuel technology. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

AI Is Ravenous for Energy. Can It Be Satisfied?

Every company betting that artificial intelligence will transform how we work and live has a big—and growing—problem: AI is inherently ravenous for electricity.Some experts project that global electricity consumption for AI systems could soon require adding the equivalent of a small country’s worth of power generation to our planet. That demand comes as the world is trying to electrify as much as possible and decarbonize how that power is generated in the face of climate change.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
