Welcome to Sunday Soup!
During the week, we cover quite a bit of ground pertaining to the market, economy, and TheStreet Pro Portfolio and we usually cap it off with a Saturday signals piece. We look to drive interaction in Portfolio Forum and the comments section for each Portfolio Alert.
To help foster that effort among the Pro community and the larger Street Pro, we’re going to use the Sunday Soup to share articles, streaming ideas, books, and other fun things that we’re consuming or may have caught our attention.
And you may not know it, but I’m something of an expert on soup.
If you have a recommendation you’d like to share, feel free to share it in the Comments section below!
Enjoy!

Meet the ‘Super Users’ Who Tap AI to Get Ahead at Work
“A growing number of workers are becoming “super users” of AI. They turn to the tech daily to learn skills, analyze large sets of data, review job candidates and even program other bots to help them with repetitive tasks, such as building online courses. Workers say AI tools — such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot and other chatbots powered by large language models — help them boost efficiency and confidence at work and reclaim hours of time.

Some of those standards live inside other standards. For example, USB 3.2 Gen 1 is also known as USB 3.0, even though it's numbered 3.2. (What? Yes.)”

The Power of Geography: Ten Maps that Reveal the Future of Our World by Tim Marshall
“In this revelatory new book, Marshall explores ten regions that are set to shape global politics in a new age of great-power rivalry: Australia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the UK, Greece, Turkey, the Sahel, Ethiopia, Spain and Space. Find out why Europe’s next refugee crisis is closer than it thinks as trouble brews in the Sahel; why the Middle East must look beyond oil and sand to secure its future; why the eastern Mediterranean is one of the most volatile flashpoints of the twenty-first century; and why the Earth’s atmosphere is set to become the world’s next battleground.
Delivered with Marshall’s trademark wit and insight, this is a lucid and gripping exploration of the power of geography to shape humanity’s past, present – and future.”
