Today, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) voted unanimously to designate the (Former) Whitney Museum of American Art, located at 945 Madison Avenue, as both an individual and interior landmark. Designed by pioneering architect Marcel Breuer and Associates, the Brutalist-style building is an enduring emblem of modern urban architecture that served as home to the Whitney Museum of American Art from the time of its construction in 1966 until 2014.
“The (former) Whitney Museum of American Art building and its unique interior are remarkable examples of the Brutalist style of modern architecture and represent a powerful testament to New York City’s role as a global center of innovative design,” said Landmarks Preservation Commission Chair Sarah Carroll. “Today’s designation honors Marcel Breuer’s groundbreaking vision and ensures that this architectural icon will continue to serve as a premier showcase for world-class art, and be preserved and protected for generations to come.”
“The original Whitney Museum building is an iconic, entirely unique piece of the New York City landscape,” said New…

If you are just starting out in trading, you have probably searched for something like “best beginner stocks to buy.” And chances are, you were shown a list of popular companies like Apple, Tesla, Amazon, or maybe a few dividend names like Coca-Cola or Procter & Gamble. But here is the truth no one tells you early on: beginner stocks are not always safe. In fact, they can be one of the fastest ways to lose money if you treat them like training wheels.
Let us talk about why beginner-friendly does not always mean beginner-safe, and what traders should actually focus on when they are starting out.
The Problem With the “Beginner Stock” Mindset
Most beginner lists are based on brand familiarity, not price behavior. You know the name, so you feel comfortable buying it. But the market does not care if you know the product. It only cares how the stock moves.
Take Tesla, for example. It is often mentioned in guides about investing in stocks for the beginner because it is well known. But in reality, it trades more like a high-volatility momentum asset. One earnings miss, one tweet, or one macro shift, and the price can swing 10 percent or more in a single day.
Apple might feel safer. It pays a dividend, has steady revenue, and does not move as wildly. But it is also tightly tied to market sentiment. When the S&P 500 drops, Apple usually drops too.
The result? Beginners get lulled into thinking they are trading safe names. But underneath, they are exposed to bigger risks than they realize.

In June 2025, horse racing fans will turn their attention to Saratoga Springs, New York, as the Belmont Stakes returns to Saratoga Race Course. This historic Triple Crown race will headline the five-day Belmont Stakes Racing Festival, running from June 4, 2025 to June 8, 2025. The main event takes place on Saturday, June 7, 2025, offering high-stakes action in a temporary but iconic new setting for one of racing’s most prestigious events.
A Legacy of Speed
The Belmont Stakes holds a profound place in the history of American thoroughbred racing. Named in honor of August Belmont, the race is distinguished as the oldest event among the coveted Triple Crown series. Its origins trace back to 1867, making it one of the nation’s most enduring sporting traditions.
It ranks as the third-oldest horse race ever contested in North America. Over its long history, the Belmont Stakes has been the stage for countless legendary moments, from Secretariat’s awe-inspiring, record-breaking victory to Justify clinching the thirteenth Triple Crown title.
Each running adds another layer to its rich tapestry, and the 157th edition in 2025 is poised to continue this legacy.
Five Days of Racing
