Amazon has discounted all of its Fire TV devices for Prime Day this year, and the standout is the Fire TV Stick Lite for only $12. That's $18 off its normal price and the cheapest we've ever seen it. That's not surprising either, consider it's the most basic of Amazon's streaming dongles. But all of the more powerful models are less than usual, too. You can pick up the Fire TV Stick for $17, the Fire TV Stick 4K for $25, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max for $35 and the Fire TV Cube for only $60.

The Fire TV Stick Lite provides the most essential streaming technology, supporting 1080p content and voice commands with the basic remote that comes with it. You won't be able to control your TV with the included remote, but if that's a must-have for you, you can spend just a bit more for the standard Fire TV Stick. We like that you at least get an Alexa button on the remote, which allows you to ask the device to search for your favorite shows and movies. Ultimately, the Fire TV Stick Lite is best for those who want to outfit older TVs with streaming capabilities without dropping a ton of money.
If you're not committed to going for for the lowest-priced gadget available, we'd recommend the $35 Fire TV Stick 4K Max. Aside from the Cube set-top box, it's the most powerful of Amazon's streaming devices and it supports 4K HDR content, Dolby Atmos, Live Picture-in-Picture View and WiFi 6. Plus, the remote that it comes with has both the Alexa voice command button and TV controls as well.
For those who are looking for a new TV that already has streaming chops built in, Amazon's discounted most of its Omni Series Fire TVs, too. The cheapest of the bunch is the 43-inch Omni set, which is $170 off and down to $240 for Prime Day. But even the most advanced model, the 75-inch set, won't set you back too much: it's $350 off and down to $750 right now.

Savvy investors can win on their trades whether the market goes up or down, and no one knows this better than Michael Burry. Burry, whose successes in profiting from the financial crisis of 2008 were featured in the book and film The Big Short, has turned his eye to historical analogies, and is hinting at reasons for optimism in today’s environment following last week’s collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. Referring back to the October bank panic of 1907, Burry notes certain similarities with today’

The membership-based warehouse club has said that two major moves are coming that stockholders will love (members won't).
The crisis of confidence in the banking system continues to intensify, despite rescue plans for banks that are showing signs of weakness. Silicon Valley Bank, a major player in financing tech and biotech startups as well as small businesses, collapsed on March 10 after a run by depositors who were worried about losing all their funds in the event of a bankruptcy. Regulators also had to close Signature Bank in New York on March 12, after another bank run.
Taken one by one, it might be reasonable to downplay the events of the past week.
The federal government's decision to backstop all the deposits in failed banks Silicon Valley and Signature Bank — even deposits above the FDIC's federally insured threshold of $250,000 — marked a fundamental change in the U.S. banking system, according to Kevin O'Leary. The banking system will "never go back to normal" after the Treasury Department, Federal Reserve, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said that it would insure all deposits at SVB and Signature, according to O'Leary.
