No More 'Cash Is Trash': Billionaire Ray Dalio Says Cash Is Good But Only Temporarily — Here's How He's Positioning His Portfolio
In 2020, billionaire investor Ray Dalio famously claimed that "cash is trash." He later elaborated that cash is not safe because "it will be taxed by inflation." But as time passed, Dalio's view on cash has made a U-turn. "Temporarily, right now, cash I think is good ... and the interest rates are fine. I don't think it will be sustained that way," he said at the Milken Institute Asia Summit in Singapore last week. In the U.S., the Federal Reserve has implemented significant interest rate hikes

Disney Stock Climb 50%, J.P. Morgan Says
Walt Disney hosted a parks-focused analyst meeting at Walt Disney World, where speakers included CEO Bob Iger, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products Chairman Josh D’Amaro, and ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro, as well as a number of other executives. On the stock, we have found investors mostly on the sidelines this year as the company works to define its strategic future, but like shares at this level and expect in the next six to 12 months that major questions around Hulu, an ESPN investment, and a linear sale (or not) will be answered, which should give investors more confidence in long-term value creation at the company.

Powell 'Is Willing To Inflict That Pain': Jim Cramer Says The Fed Won't Stop Raising Rates Until Prices Come Down — Even If There Are Layoffs
The U.S. Federal Reserve has implemented 11 interest rate hikes in the last 18 months. While the Fed decided to leave its benchmark interest rates unchanged at its latest meeting, CNBC's Jim Cramer does not believe that the central bank is done with hawkish moves.

The U.S. stock market has seen robust growth in 2023, with the S&P 500 Index surging by 16%. But according to "Shark Tank" star Kevin O'Leary, it's not all sunshine and rainbows.

Hooray! Treasury Yields Are Up, but There Are Better Income Opportunities.
The higher future interest income from new purchases of fixed-income securities was scant compensation for the principal losses on previous holdings, however. Have we reached that point again, with a benchmark 10-year Treasury yield near 4.5%, a level not seen since 2007? Others demur, however, noting the risk of further yield increases (and price declines) isn’t worth it, especially when significantly higher returns are readily available on risk-free short-term instruments such as Treasury bills.
