Through the years, I would often question whether dress sneakers could be a suitable alternative. Ha, forget it pal.

Big Tech’s market dominance may push more investors to equal-weight exchange-traded funds, according to VettaFi’s Todd Rosenbluth.”Investors are getting nervous that too much money is concentrated in a handful of stocks within the broader ETFs that they have available that [are] tied to the S&P 500 or even the Nasdaq 100,” the firm’s head of research told CNBC’s “ETF Edge” earlier this week.Rosenbluth lists the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF and the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight Technology ETF as options for investors who want to reduce exposure to the “Magnificent Seven.””You own the same companies that you’d find…

As trends always come back in rotation, 2000s platforms have reappeared on the fashion scene, taking on sandals and everyday sneakers. At 5’3″, I’m not mad, as I could use the additional height. Even as someone who embraces “weird” pieces, I know all too well a platform…
