Here's why Akansha Ranjan recommends Apple Cider Vinegar on OTT

Hindustan Times27-04-2025
In our recurring series, Akansha Ranjan recommends her recent fave binge-watch!
I am watching the web show, Apple Cider Vinegar. It's about a crazy scam artist, who pretended to have cancer and made a huge business out of it.
I love the genre of true crime dramas and grey characters. The show gives insights on human psychology and is very interesting to dive into.
Wellness Guru Belle Gibson, played so brilliantly by Kaitlyn Dever. I hate the character and that's what I love about the show! You love to hate her.
This is the perfect blend of drama and thrill. It's great for people who want to feel a thrill and are bored of watching rom-coms, but are too scared to watch scary shows!
Always night! I love my night TV time routine; I can't watch anything in the day.
I watch solo, while lying in bed at the end of the day.

Retail trading trends: Top names investors are buying

Retail traders, like their institutional counterparts, are feeling bullish as the market trades near record highs. Investopedia editor in chief Caleb Silver shares the findings of Investopedia's recent investor survey, including some of the top names retail investors are trading and where they should invest extra cash. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Asking for a Trend. Well, American workers are increasingly investing stocks. We know that in their retirement funds. Vanguard Group found workers in their late 30s at 88% of their 401Ks in stocks last year. That's versus 82% a decade earlier. And a new sentiment survey from Investopedia shows retail traders, they're more interested in individual names than ETFs with the data showing, if folks had 10,000, 22% of respondents would put that money into individual names. Caleb Silver, Investopedia editor-in-chief, he's with me now. Caleb, let's start. I wanna know how Investopedia fans, how are they feeling? What's the vibe there? The vibes are strong. The vibes are immaculate. Record highs will do that to you, right? And we've had a lot of them lately, and they see this deregulatory environment. They see the fact that rates are coming down, and they've seen some outperformance not just in their favorite stocks, which look a lot like the top of the S&P 500, but in a lot of smaller stocks as well. So, they've been paid for their patience. They've been paid for hanging in there, and they've been more aggressive, by and large, than a lot of institutional investors. PS, institutional investors, according to Bank of America's most recent fund manager survey, also as optimistic as they've been in six months, but again, higher highs will make you feel pretty good. So good vibes. What do they do with those vibes? What are the names they wanna own? Yeah, they own their home cooking. They own the stocks that they've owned ever since they probably got in this game, and that is the top of the S&P 500. Nvidia tops that list. Palantir new, but rising onto that list. Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, of course. You see some Berkshire Hathaway in there. You see a little Costco sprinkled in there and some banks like JP Morgan, but by and large, mega cap tech, anything AI related of size, they stick with them. They've been paid well and handsomely for sticking with their bets. Now another question you ask, which I always think is interesting. You also ask, "Hey, what do you wanna own 10 years from now?" What was their answer? Yeah. Well, a lot of the same stocks. Nvidia's on the top of that list as well. Palantir, one of the top stocks on that list as well. Microsoft, I see there as well. Even Alphabet. So, not a lot of change, because why change when we are really in the land of the giants. The big stocks move the market. We were talking with a guest earlier that says, "They are the market." If you're not in these big stocks, you're not just moving, you're not having that outperformance. So, they have to be in them. And they've been rewarded, again, for holding these stocks. You don't see a lot of them exploring a lot into other sectors beyond big tech right now, and uh beyond in smaller stocks. But you do see them globbing onto the same things that have delivered the performance that look like the QQQs, that look like the SPY's. That's where they stuck their money. That's where they intend to stick their money, and as the market has been rising for the past couple months, that's where they put even more of their money. And you also ask them, I like this part of the survey. You ask them, "Listen, if you had an extra 10 large, an extra $10,000, where would you put it to work? Where would you commit capital?" What was their answer? Yeah. This is the ultimate discretionary question. What would you do with an extra 10,000 assuming you could invest it? And individual stocks top that list. And when you have this rising bull market and records after records coming in day after day, that's what you get. They want to own the individual names because that's where the performance has been. Second on that list is ETF. They want some diversification there. That makes a lot of sense as well. But basically, keep buying the same stocks that have delivered the returns, and that have made them 401K millionaires. And when you look at survey after survey, we have more than ever right now, as you mentioned Vanguard saying more and more people contributing stocks to their 401K plans. We are a stock heavy nation. If you ask them some of these questions, you know, let's say six months ago or 12 months ago, has there been a big difference? I mean, has it evolved a lot? Absolutely. And they went from trying to be safe with CDs and high-yield savings to back to stocks, back to ETFs. So, you see that seesaw depending on behavior and depending on how the market's doing right now. When we had the big sell-off, everyone was running for cover. There was gold was topping that list as well. But they were looking for places to be safe. ETFs were a little bit stronger than individual stocks because of the diversification. They'd seen some big tumbles in some of their favorite stocks. But when you get a bull market like this, when you get records after records, people want to own individual stocks. Again, biggest stocks in the market just keep getting bigger. And when we talk about the folks you're surveying here, remind me, Caleb, the Investopedia fan, who is that fan? What's the demo? Yeah, the Investopedia reader is right here. You and me, right? 18 to 80, self-directed, educated investors who like to invest their own money. Maybe they also get professional advice to do it as well, but they're interested in learning how this works, and they come to us to get smarter about it. But we're talking about, you know, adults, average age in their 40s or so, but we do have this big range of people who are just starting to learn to people who are kind of nearing the end of their investing journey, but still want to stay smart. So, this is kind of everybody, and it's a pretty good representation when you think about the size of our reader base.

Fires keep burning in western Spain as army is deployed

As Spain enters its third week of heatwave alerts, firefighters continue to battle blazes in the northwest and west of the country, with army units deployed to help contain the blazes. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said he had held a "coordination meeting" Saturday, as France and Italy sent water bombers to an air base near Salamanca to help with the firefighting efforts. "The government continues to work to fight the fire with all the means at its disposal," he said on X. The most serious forest fires were in the northwest and west of the country, in the regions of Castile and Leon, Galicia, Asturias and Extremadura. Around 10 roads remain closed across the country, as well as the train line between Madrid and Galicia. Emergency services in Galicia sent alert messages urging residents in dozens of towns to take precautions. "If you receive this alert: remain calm and read the text carefully," the alerts said. "As the fires spread, avoid all unnecessary travel and stay indoors. If you are outside and have nowhere to stay, move away from the affected areas." Around 3,500 military from a special emergency unit were deployed around the country, with some political leaders calling for more. Alfonso Fernandez Manueco, the centre-right president of Castile and Leon, asked Sanchez's government "for an exceptional response: we need more army personnel at the disposal of the regions". Extremadura has also made an official request for reinforcements. In Spain, firefighting is in principle the responsibility of the regions with the central government only intervening in the event of a major disaster. Spain is expected to remain on heat alert until Monday, the extreme temperatures having significantly increased the risk of wildfires. Smoke from wildfires in Spain and Portugal has reached the UK, the country's Met Office reported. Since the beginning of the year, more than 157,000 hectares have been reduced to ashes in Spain, according to the real-time map of the European Forest Fire Information System (Effis). mig/gv/jj
