SHOOK Research conducted the extensive survey. SHOOK Research’s rankings are based on a simple concept: Would you recommend these professionals to your family and friends?

When talking about sleeper teams in the ACC, Virginia Tech, NC State, SMU and Louisville are the ones that get talked about. Georgia Tech doesn’t often come up in that discussion, but that’s mostly because the Yellow Jackets’ schedule includes games against Florida State, Louisville, Notre Dame, Virginia Tech, Miami, NC State and Georgia. The team once again features most of the best offenses in the conference, but has just 5.5 wins to start the season. I’ve written before that Georgia Tech is one of the most underrated teams in the nation and a sleeper in the ACC heading into…

Not all investors are looking to invest for the long term. Some prefer shorter time frames and volatile stocks, hoping to make profits in days or weeks rather than years. While short-term investors can make big gains from time to time (like the 2021 meme stock short squeeze), day and swing trading is often about accumulating small gains and minimizing losses. To get started in short-term trading, you need to understand why day and swing traders focus on different factors and concepts than long-term investors. Short-term trading requires technical skill, knowledge of market trends, and the ability to stay calm…

European Central Bank governors have warned about threats linked to shadow banking. In an interview with the Financial Times published on Wednesday (July 10), Elizabeth McCaul said that the expansion of hedge funds, private credit providers and other sources of funding outside the regulated banking system are the biggest threats to Europe’s financial environment. “There are certainly warning signs ahead of us,” McCaul said, “most notably in the area where we are least certain and where things could move faster than normal credit trends: the non-bank financial intermediation markets.” Citing European Commission data, the report showed that non-banking organisations in…

From “AI will save us” to AI apocalypse, recent narratives around AI safety and regulation raise questions about who can and should participate in the discussion. Interest in generative AI techniques and large language models (LLMs) has shifted the discussion from real-world harm to so-called “existential risks,” mirroring the tech industry’s narrative about the “existential threat” that AI poses to humanity.
