Summary

It’s time for Nicole's weekly roundup of the biggest headlines on Wall Street and how they will affect your wallet. Nicole breaks down Robinhood’s buzzy new launch of tokenized stocks in Europe—what that actually means, why it might matter for the future of investing, and what private companies like OpenAI and SpaceX have to do with it. Then, she dives into the Paramount-Skydance merger saga, which has it all: nepo babies, political drama, and regulatory power plays. Finally, we cut through the headlines about rising inflation and explain what really matters for your wallet. All investing involves the risk of loss, including loss of principal.
