AI's Reach Deepens: BlackRock Bets on HALO Stocks Like PPG Over Nvidia

BlackRock argues AI investing isn’t all about Nvidia; it points to a HALO theme—capital-intensive, hard-to-digitize assets like utilities and manufacturing—as a way to diversify amid AI disruption. PPG Industries is highlighted as a concrete example: using AI to develop a new fast-drying automotive clearcoat (Deltron D8178) that boosts efficiency and creates new products. The takeaway is that AI’s impact may be broader than the current Nvidia-focused trade, so investors might combine AI exposure with value and infrastructure plays, without dumping Nvidia.

Beyond the Wrist: Where Your Wearable Delivers Real-World Health Readings

Sensor placement influences wearable readings, but fit, consistency, and the metric being tracked matter just as much. Chest or upper‑arm sensors generally yield cleaner signals than wrists for many metrics, especially during high‑intensity activity; wrist devices compensate with advanced algorithms and longer wear, though battery life can limit continuous monitoring. Alternative placements like rings, earbuds, or bra clips can improve accuracy for certain readings, but privacy remains a concern since consumer wearable data isn’t universally HIPAA‑protected. In practice, a snug, well‑worn wrist device works well for everyday tracking, while near‑source placements boost accuracy for more demanding measurements.
