From “Handshake Deal” to Stock Shake-Up at 7-11 September 23, 2024 Banyan Edge, Investing, Investment Opportunities There's an old urban legend that the United States was split in half by a simple handshake deal between two convenience store kingpins ... and now, a new generation of leadership could lead to a shake-up at convenience store giant 7-11... 
The Fed’s Next Move is Designed to Surprise You September 19, 2024 Banyan Edge, News, U.S. Economy The U.S. Federal Reserve holds tremendous power over the U.S. economy.

That’s a sharp reversal of fortune, and it’s due to the massive “sea change” mega trend playing out in today’s stock market…
The End of Labor Day: The “Bot-com” Revolution Is Almost Here September 3, 2024 Artificial Intelligence, Banyan Edge, Technology We all remember the Jetsons, the space-age cartoon family depicted in the classic 1960's cartoon. Well, the new crop of Humanoid robots makes Rosie the Robot look like my Roomba. These robots are intended to look like and mimic humans, which makes them a perfect fit for any workspace or home in our modern world.
