The Truth Beneath the Smile
My nerves settled into a familiar pattern as I sat in the waiting room. I’ve been here countless times, sitting on an uncomfortable chair, holding a leather-bound portfolio that feels heavier with each interview. I’ve researched the company, spent hours scanning its website, reading its mission statement, and memorizing its earnings report to give off the illusion of someone deeply invested in its cause.

Finding Worth in a Lonely Corner
It was a warm Saturday afternoon, and the schoolyard was filled with the total energy of excited children and doting parents at the annual fundraising fair. I had arrived to support my youngest daughter, Mary, who was selling homemade cookies with her small group of friends. Mary wasn’t the most popular kid at school, but she had a tight-knit circle that meant the world to her. Watching her laugh and chat with her friends, I felt a sense of joy. Though not in the popular crowd, these girls had each other's backs through thick and thin, weathering the storms of peer pressure and the trials of growing up.

One reason this hasn’t happened yet is that the U.S. economy continues to be plagued by a shortage of workers despite the recent rise in the unemployment rate from 3.4% to 4.3% due to the ongoing mismatch of job skills. This means job training is still needed because many workers do not have the skills required to meet the hiring needs of employers.

The sun blazed over everyone and the concrete and asphalt streets. People retreated and sought shelter from the unbearable heat. For Anton, he understood that he could no longer take walks each day, that brought Anton much joy and solace.

What is My True Multiracial Identity?
As one of the 33.8 million multiracial individuals living in the United States, this was an intellectually challenging week for the 1 in 10 Americans who are multi-racial. Yes, I am proud to be multi-racial, even though I did not always feel this way growing up.

Are Bitcoins a Good Inflation Hedge or a Risk-Enhanced Investment?
The relationship between the economic fundamentals, such as the state of the economy and inflation versus bitcoin prices, continues to evolve. Although Bitcoin was introduced to the public in 2009, its price began reacting to changes in underlying economic fundamentals growth only after 2017. One reason for this phenomenon is the increased awareness of Bitcoin after the CME Group launched crypto futures contracts in late 2017! Such actions legitimized Bitcoin for many investors.
