Director Yang Yu, known for his meticulous attention to detail and innovative visual style, has expressed his excitement for the project, stating that the sequel will push the boundaries of animation even further and explore deeper themes of identity, destiny, and the power of choice. The team at Light Chaser Animation Studios has been working tirelessly to ensure that "Nezha 2" not only meets but exceeds the high expectations set by the first film.For almost two years now, stocks that tap into the global $15.7 trillion AI revolution have surged so quickly, the media has a nickname for them: the "Magnificent Seven." But there's a problem with the "Magnificent Seven"—the dividends that they offer investors are extremely stingy, as management prefers to devote hundreds of billions of dollars towards research and development. Apple Inc. (AAPL), for instance, pays a dividend of just 0.5%. Microsoft Inc. (MSFT)'s dividend of 0.95% is well below the S&P 500 average of 1.29%. Nvidia Inc. (NVDA) pays just 0.03% dividend yield—not a typo—and Tesla Motors (TSLA) and Alphabet (GOOG) pay nothing at all. But there's a little-known way to claim much bigger quarterly payouts from the AI revolution—thanks to three companies that collect billions of dollars in "rent" from the Magnificent Seven. AI Income Machine No. 1: Prologis Inc. (PLD) Headquartered in San Francisco, California, Prologis Inc. (PLD) is a real estate investment trust that leases over 1.2 billion square feet worldwide to some of the world's biggest names, including Amazon. The company's business of leasing office and retail space to various tech firms is so lucrative, it has a profit margin of 37.4% as of Q3/2024. For context, Apple has a profit margin of 24%. Not only that, but PLD is growing earnings at a robust clip. The company grew earnings by 34.5% last quarter, and was able to raise its dividend by 10.3% in 2024. Since 2019, PLD has nearly doubled its dividend while increasing payouts every year. It now offers a 3.2% dividend yield that is more than double the S&P 500... and larger than the yields of all the "Magnificent Seven" stocks combined. AI Income Machine No. 2: Alexandria Real Estate Inc. (ARE) Headquartered in Pasadena, California, Alexandria Real Estate Inc. (ARE) is a company that leases 47 million square feet of office and retail space to companies in San Francisco, Boston, New York City, Austin, Seattle, and Washington D.C. ARE has grown operating income by 299% since 2014—and it's no accident that its rise has been strongly correlated with the tech boom that's unfolded since. ARE's string of lucrative deals in the tech sector contributed to its monster earnings growth of 592% last quarter—and helped it increase its dividend by 29% since 2019. Alexandria Real Estate pays a yield of 4.8% as of this writing, which thrashes the average company on the S&P 500 and, like PLD, is a higher yield than that of all the Magnificent Seven companies combined.

The Los Angeles Lakers have had a solid start to the season. They have started out 10-6, which is good for fourth place in the Western Conference. In past seasons, the team has started slowly, and they spend the rest of the year trying to dig themselves out of a hole. While the hot start has been great, the team does have some roster issues. Rumors are already starting to swirl about what Los Angeles will do at the trade deadline. Reports indicate the Lakers are very interested in Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith. Los Angeles Lakers Eyeing Dorian Finney-Smith The Nets are a good team from which to get pieces. After trading Mikal Bridges this offseason, they are clearly trying to gather assets for a rebuild. Dorian Finney-Smith came over in the Kyrie Irving trade and is a solid defender and shooter. Anthony F. Irwin of Clutch Points reported the Los Angeles Lakers have been in “constant contact” with the Nets about Finney-Smith. They have some pieces they could get rid of and some desirable picks to entice Brooklyn. The fit is perfect for the Lakers. Anthony Davis is having an MVP season, averaging 30.1 points, 11.1 boards, and 1.9 blocks per game. LeBron James is still putting up stats and shows no signs of stopping. Players like rookie Dalton Knecht have been great, but the team needs more shooters and defenders to surround their two stars. Finney-Smith is averaging 10.8 points and 4.5 boards per game while shooting 41% from three. The report also indicates the team is interested in Cam Thomas, although it might take more time to acquire him because of his play. A Tough Western Conference It isn’t a surprise the Los Angeles Lakers want to bolster their roster. Their championship window is closing. James is in the twilight of his career and Davis is no spring chicken either. The time to win is now. The issue for the Lakers is getting out of the West will be tough. Ten teams currently have winning records with another handful hovering around .500. Some of these teams are loaded with talent and have the assets to make more moves. Oklahoma City has a war chest of draft picks and could swing a trade for anyone. Even if they don’t, they have enough talent on the roster to win a title. Golden State is in a similar position to the Lakers. They are trying to keep their championship window open with Steph Curry and Draymond Green. Houston is off to a hot start with their young core. On top of those teams, Dallas, Denver, Phoenix, and a slew of other teams will also be tough outs in the playoffs. Final Thoughts Any team with LeBron James on it will be in trade rumor articles for the next three months. The Los Angeles Lakers brand raises the stakes as well. This team is expected to compete for championships. There are definitely moves to make but fans should feel good about where this team is at currently. If they can nab home-court advantage for at least the first round, that would put them in a way better position than in years past. What will the Lakers ultimately do at the deadline to improve their team? And will it be enough?

Negotiations initially began on August 12 between TAG and the AMPTP, although the two organizations did not come to an agreement in the five days allotted for bargaining. Negotiations resumed on September 16, with the tentative agreement being reached on Saturday morning and announced on Monday, per a email from TAG sent to guild members. Among the issues that TAG touts gains in are stronger AI guardrails, including consultation and notification provisions; health and pension fund improvements; wage increases; protections for remote work; additional sick days; and the recognition of Juneteenth as a holiday. They also note "craft-specific gains," including staffing minimums for writers rooms. A tentative agreement between TAG and the AMPTP is a massive step forward, but it doesn't mean the new contract is set in stone quite yet. The next step will be a ratification vote by the members, which is currently being scheduled. While there were many issues at play, getting stricter protections for generative AI was a major one for this round of negotiations, something that also played a large role in last year's writers' and actors' strikes and the ongoing video game actor strike . IGN ran a comprehensive report last year about how it's become a hot-button topic in the animation industry specifically, with some believing the technology could make their work more efficient and others arguing it's not worth risking jobs or artistic integrity. “After weeks of negotiations that covered months in the calendar, I am very proud of the agreement that we reached with the studios for our new contract,” said Steve Kaplan, TAG Business Representative, said in a statement. “Not only have we seen the inclusion of the advancements in the industry realized by the other Unions and Guilds, but we were able to address industry-specific issues in a meaningful way. The animation industry at large has been facing issues like crunch, layoffs, and low pay for years now, spawning an entire #StandWithAnimation movement.
