The Best—And Worst—Of 2024 So Far: Stocks, Crypto, AI

Halfway through 2024, Nvidia and other major AI darlings are having a great year, along with quirky meme cryptocurrencies like “dogwifhat”—but it’s a bumpier road for Boeing investors, remote workers and Elon Musk.

By Forbes Staff


With 2024 half-over, the big economic news shows a continued booming marketplace, Nvidia’s colossal ascent and a long-awaited inflation slowdown. But there are more surprises under the hood: Artificial intelligence turned old-school power companies into some of Wall Street’s hottest stocks (even as Intel fails to strike AI gold), meme tokens beat Bitcoin and Elon Musk took a surprising hit to his sky-high net worth. It’s also a rough year for remote workers—unless you live in Louisiana—and the fastest-growing home values aren’t in San Francisco, but Upstate New York.
