Nvidia’s stock closed the month at $19.52 after a 21% revenue drop, while AMD’s share price was nearly four times that of Nvidia’s. Amid this challenging period, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger made a notable decision: he took a 25% pay cut and requested pay reductions of 5-15% for his senior staff as part of a cost-cutting strategy. Later that year, the affected salaries were restored, with a promise of one-time restricted stock units (RSUs) as a “thank you” bonus, slated for December 2023 with vesting in December…

Dimon, a native of Queens who was once rumored as a potential Treasury Secretary candidate under a Harris presidency, criticized Washington regulators for burdening the industry with excessive rules. “It’s time to push back,” Dimon said during a New York banking conference. “I’m fed up with this nonsense.” He noted that many banks fear pushing back on regulatory overreach to avoid retaliation but argued, “if you’re in a knife fight, you’d better bring a knife.” Dimon took…

The application, submitted by a Gen Z hopeful for a role supporting her business course, was filled with glaring errors and unfinished prompts. In a TikTok video, Lu called it “possibly the worst job application ever,” comparing it to a “ChatGPT copy and paste.” Reading it aloud, she highlighted a line that read, “I am confident that my experience in [relevant experience/skill] positions me as a strong candidate.” Key sections, like skills…

He noted the intense enthusiasm for Trump in Pennsylvania, stating, “It’s astonishing.” He recalled an event in Indiana County, a strongly Republican area, where he saw a massive display of Trump merchandise. “It was a hundred feet long, with dozens of T-shirts, hats, and bumper stickers.…
