[$$] M&T Bank Security Chief: Avoid AI and Other 'Shiny Objects'
Inc., some corporate boards and chief executives are more willing to approve budget requests from cybersecurity leaders. The hope is that if more money is funnelled into cybersecurity tools and personnel, these companies can avoid an incident like the one revealed by Equifax in September 2017, in which sensitive data about 147.9 million people was compromised. “It’s the wrong approach to say, ‘Here’s a blank check, tell us what you need and we’ll buy it,” said Mr. Stender, who oversees cybersecurity as well as disaster recovery, fraud and physical security for the Buffalo, N.Y., lender.

Wall Street’s winners fire ‘rifle shots,’ while most investors miss the mark
To be sure, carpet bombing works well at certain stages of the stock market’s cycle, particularly when prices are rising strongly and individual stocks’ correlations with the overall market are high. The newsletter at the top of my performance scoreboard for year-to-date performance — The Turnaround Letter, edited by George Putnam — expects the second half of this year to be more of the same. In the latest issue of his newsletter, Putnam forecasted that “2018 will produce about a 6% full-year return while exhibiting higher volatility than in recent years.” That translates into a 1.9% increase in the S&P 500 from current levels.

Profiting from Disruption Trades
From time to time Amazon.com Inc. will announce that it is going to start doing a thing, and the stocks of other companies that do the thing will drop on the assumption that Amazon will eat their lunch. Amazon, the reasoning goes, is big and smart and good and efficient at doing things, so it will probably be able to out-compete the incumbents. Also Amazon is strikingly good at training investors to allow it to do things without making money on them, so it can undercut the incumbents’ margins by just doing the thing for free.
