“Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.”
And he can fly and shoot lasers from his eyes.
Superman not only has the best superpowers, he is also handsome, charming, and humble. Plus he dearly loves his mom and farm.
He might come off a little boring and straitlaced compared to more colorful characters like Ironman or Thor, but he’s clearly the superhero who wins over the most hearts.

It might be hard to believe, but summer is just days away — which also means we’re months into the crisis caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic.
This has impacted all of us in some way. Perhaps you’ve felt it directly through a layoff or a loss of income. Maybe it’s made a more indirect but still difficult impact on your life, through the disruption of your normal day-to-day, the forced switch to remote work (and schooling, for parents and students), the lack of access to the places we love going and the people we most want to see.

Most financial analysts expect a slower economic recovery, with the greatest challenges to prudent investment management coming from asset mispricing and ethical violations by market makers, according to a new global survey of more than 13,000 CFAs.

Chicago Booth Review
In 1992, Chicago Booth’s Eugene F. Fama and Dartmouth’s Kenneth R. French rigorously demonstrated that value stocks, especially small-value stocks, had a statistically significant edge over growth stocks and the market as a whole. This finding cemented the idea that stock risk is multidimensional and that investors will require compensation for bearing risks associated with small stocks, value stocks, and so on. It also sparked a search for priced risk factors.

The effects of COVID-19 on employees’ FINANCES has caused many to question whether they need to rethink their timing for retirement. For some, that could mean the time is now.
Kalimah White, senior trust adviser and vice president at TD Wealth in Wilmington, Delaware, says she tried to get her mother to retire because of her possible exposure to COVID-19. “She was worried about it, but I worked to help her realize she had sufficient funds and could retire,” she says. “Retirement isn’t as scary when you are forced to face it.”

On March 18, the gold-silver ratio, which simply shows how many ounces of silver it takes to buy one ounce of gold, reached an extreme high of 126.43. At the time, Marshall Gittler of BDSwiss, said it was the highest level that number has reached in 5,120 years.
Dialing all the way back to ancient Egypt, the ratio was merely 2.5. It had risen to 6 during the King Hammurabi era in Babylon. Fast forward thousands of years and the ratio had dropped from its lofty March perch but was still around 100, the third-highest level of any year since 1862.

There’s a Chinese proverb of one being honored by a single glance. It comes from an old story of a horse expert whose mere glance caused a horse’s value to rise significantly.
Shark Tank's titular innovation-hunters have that power: A mere inquiry into a product persuades thousands of TV spectators to buy it. Overnight, an unknown venture’s chance of success and valuation rises significantly.
