Over the last few years, the gold price has been driven by a combination of excessive government spending, increased geopolitical risks, and reduced confidence in the US Dollar. For centuries, gold has been seen as a safe-haven asset in uncertain times, and this week was no exception: with geopolitical risk rising, the gold price held […]
As artificial intelligence becomes deeply embedded in how information is created and consumed, public trust in news has emerged as one of the defining issues facing modern journalism. Automated content generation, algorithmic amplification, and synthetic media have blurred the lines between verified reporting and unvetted information. Within this environment, Dev Pragad, President, Chief Executive Officer, […]
At Year 250 of the American experiment and Year One of AI governance, two founding documents face the same question: How do you encode values into a system and trust it will hold? I need to start this column with a disclosure: About 15 months ago, I made a purposeful decision to quit ChatGPT and […]
Energy has become one of the most important competitive advantages in the global economy. Countries that can produce it reliably, affordably, and at scale attract manufacturing, investment, and jobs. As supply chains reshuffle and geopolitics reshape where capital flows, energy reliability is no longer just an infrastructure issue, it’s a business strategy. The United States […]
The clean energy transition is often framed as an engineering story: better batteries, smarter grids, cheaper renewables. In reality, it is also a mining story, because electrification is metals-intensive. Solar, wind, transmission buildouts, EVs, and energy storage all rely on a steady stream of copper, nickel, cobalt, graphite, vanadium, and rare earth elements, many of […]

For owners of luxury and exotic cars—Ferrari, Lamborghini, Tesla, Porsche—getting a vehicle repaired often felt like a gamble. Even everyday drivers faced uncertainty, from opaque pricing to delayed timelines and variable quality. Pristine Collision Group is changing […]

The numbers tell a different story than the headlines suggest. MIT’s Project NANDA report found that 95% of enterprise AI pilots fail to deliver measurable financial returns — despite $30-40 […]
We’ve seen what happens when competition is real. The United States devotes enormous energy and resources to building the most elite Olympic team. Every athlete faces a rigorous series of tests. Each contender must prove their worth on merit, performance, and dedication. Why? Because on the global stage, only the most thoroughly vetted and prepared […]
In early October, Bitcoin set an all-time high near $126,000. By mid-November, it had handed back the year’s gains and ducked below $90,000. A trillion-dollar swing in weeks is a headline even in crypto’s wild history. The latest downdraft looks driven by macro anxiety and leverage washouts rather than a single fraud event. Yet, the […]
Gold is emerging as one of the most strategic assets in the world, and governments are acting on that reality with increasing speed. Physical supply is shifting from West to East, central banks are adding to their reserves at a pace not seen in modern history, and more nations are bringing their gold back home […]
