The week’s blistering stock sell-off has slashed the Dow Jones Industrial Average’s gains since President Donald Trump’s election. What was once a 61% Dow gain just 16 days ago on Feb. 12 has eroded to a far thinner 38.6% rally as the index fell from an all-time high of 29,568 to around 25,409. The gain in the Dow is just 28.8% if you measure from Trump’s inauguration day more than three years ago. The dramatic fall in Dow (and S&P 500) gains since the president’s election came after the single

Part of the appeal of the Animal Crossing franchise for me is the fantasy, and its serenely chill environment. I got so engrossed in Animal Crossing: New Leaf that it often felt like I truly lived there, for better or

Intel only released its 8-core i9-9900KS CPU in October 2019, and despite claiming it is the “world’s best gaming processor”, it seems like its days could be numbered, as Intel prepares to launch its 10th generation desktop processors. Boasting 5GHz on all cores, the Intel Core i9-9900KS is a powerful (and power-hungry) chip, that is also pricey, but allows Intel to advertise it as the fastest gaming processor you could buy.
