After a year's break due to lockdown, Prayas Theatre has returned with the third instalment in their annual anthology series, First World Problems 3.0. The 2021 edition, written during lockdown and devised earlier this year, is the first I've seen, but the first two entries have been the types of shows to quickly build word-of-mouth buzz and are still spoken of highly.
Eighteen South Asian and Spanish migrant actors make up this year's cast, working with six new scripted and devised pieces, directed by FWP mastermind Sananda Chatterjee. The rapid pace of the show gives little room for an elaborate set, but Natasha Iyer's simple design allows the performers to take centre stage, as the stories hone in on a variety of diverse experiences.

At the start of the pandemic, ETF providers launched work-from-home and streaming-service funds to capitalize on changes to how we live. Now, providers are putting forward funds based on what life could look like after the pandemic, including the return of travel and live sporting events.
Other new ETFs play on positive social media-generated market buzz and increased investor attention in areas such as clean energy, space exploration and bitcoin.
Both the recently launched Roundhill MVP ETF (MVP-A) – an U.S. ETF that invests in sports franchises, sporting-goods companies and facilities – and Canada’s Harvest Travel and Leisure Index ETF (TRVL-T) – which invests in large-cap travel companies – are a play on the post-pandemic recovery, says Daniel Straus, vice-president of ETFs and financial products research at National Bank Financial.

Buzz In Bordeaux: France's First Cannabis Tipple

A young entrepreneur has launched France's first wine infused with a cannabis extract in the heart of the Bordeaux wine-growing region, hoping to shake up traditions and score with millennials.
Raphael De Pablo, the 28-year-old creator of the Burdi W brand, infuses a locally sourced "petit verdot" varietal, usually reserved for high-quality wines, with cannabidiol (CBD), one of the key substances found in cannabis.
While the intoxicating THC cannabis component remains strictly banned in France, the use of CBD is not only legal but has been credited with some medicinal properties, including for alleviating epilepsy or anxiety.

Few ETFs debut to as much fanfare as did the recently launched
The fund tracks the BUZZ NextGen AI US Sentiment Leaders Index. It employs leading-edge analytics to harness the collective conviction of millions of investors. The Index tracks the performance of the 75 large cap U.S. stocks that exhibit the highest degree of positive investor sentiment and bullish perception based on content aggregated from online sources, including social media, news articles, blog posts, and other alternative datasets.
Using social sentiment to glean insight about potential movements by individual stocks has been around almost as long as social media itself. Investors that are new to social sentiment and its applications may be surprised to learn that many of the early adopters of social sentiment in the financial markets were high-level, sophisticated market participants, including hedge funds and institutional investors.

Barstool Sports' Dave Portnoy has joined BUZZ and VanEck in launching a social media sentiment ETF.
Sentiment shown in social media and retail trader discussions could be a key to alpha - BUZZ CEO.
These are the three strategies BUZZ is using to tap into chatter on social media.
Since the start of 2021, markets have faced a new reality - the power of the retail trader.
Whether they are forcing hedge funds to back out of bets against unpopular stocks, sending shares in tiny companies up by 1,000%, or taking Bitcoin 'to the moon', these social-media-centered traders can move markets. January's almost unprecedented volatility was testament to that. 

The pensions industry is broadly split on whether the Spring Budget hit the right notes in regards to its approach to pensions, according to a poll by PP.

ETF of the Week: VanEck Vectors Social Sentiment ETF (BUZZ)
ETF Trends CEO Tom Lydon discussed the
VanEck Vectors Social Sentiment ETF (BUZZ) on this week’s “ETF of the Week” podcast with Chuck Jaffe on the MoneyLife Show.
The BUZZ ETF holds 75 stocks with at least a $5 billion market cap generating the most social media mentions. The ETF made headlines when influential Barstool Sports Founder Dave Portnoy announced his involvement.
What’s the BUZZ all about?
In the age of telecommunications, Twitter, Reddit, Stocktwits, and dozens of other platforms established communities for investors to discuss stocks. As a result of the greater online engagement, they have become an alternative dataset for investors to tap into for a performance edge. BUZZ can potentially help investors benefit from the predictive insights gained by measuring the collective convictions about stocks, reflecting a type of benchmark for social sentiment.

Wendy Williams subtly threw some jabs on Tiger Woods' former mistress after Rachel Uchitel defended their affair.
The outspoken TV host pressed the 46-year-old nightclub manager and hostess engaged in a highly-publicized extramarital affair with the golfer.
Tiger Woods' infidelities were exposed in Nov. 2009. At the time, he was married to Elin Nordegren, and they share two kids, Sam and Charlie.
In 2010, the former married couple split after six years of marriage at a reported $100 million divorce.
In an awkward interview on "The Wendy Williams Show," Uchitel told the host that she encountered some challenges during the period of their affair because the media was always talking about it.

As a parent, this is one of those things you fear. Your child losing one of their FAVORITE toys/stuffed animals/blankets. It literally can ruin the entire day, haha!
When our family all went to Disney back in January, one of my twins Paxton was playing with his stuffed Mickey Mouse that he had since he was born. It was perfect timing when I opened the balcony door, he threw the Mickey over his head, and it went RIGHT OVER THE RAILING!! Of course I ran down to the front desk to ask them to look for it, but they were never able to find it. As upset as my son was, Disney literally gave us a voucher for all 3 of my kids to get new stuffed Mickey Mouses so they all had the same one! How cool is that, right?
