Can the Energy Sector Bounce Back?

Here’s a shocking stat for energy investors: the energy sector comprises only 3% of the S&P 500’s value, down from 30% in 1980. That’s serious underperformance. It’s understandable why only the most ardent of energy bulls currently own what remains of the energy sector’s once great market cap. But we all know Warren Buffet’s famous quote about buying when others are fearful. Could it be that this is one of those moments for the energy sector?

What investors need to know as AI grows up to become AGI

Does the acronym AGI inspire the same mix of excitement and terror in you as AI does? Probably not, but that may change soon. AGI stands for Artificial General Intelligence. The difference between AI and AGI is that Artificial General Intelligence is at least as good as human intelligence for a wide range of tasks that require intelligence. According Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, AGI is coming this year which means that, for the first time in history, ‘computers will be able to automate the great majority of intellectual labour’. In other words, many of us were right to worry that artificial intelligence is indeed coming for our jobs. The ramifications are also significant for investors…
