Long or short: The middle class is gone. Fed data shows the top 1% own ONE-THIRD of all US net worth. Do you ride the wave of capital concentration or short the inevitable social backlash?

LONG OR SHORT?? 98% of US households aren't paying for AI yet

The chart tells two stories. One is, yes, that household AI spending doubled in the last year. The other is that hardly any of the potential revenue from consumer AI has been tapped so far. That’s one way to look at it. Another is that, after tens of billions in marketing, people still aren’t convinced to pay for it, and those who do pay so little that, financially speaking, the companies selling it are radioactive.

How do I start with secondary data (S&P 500 subsidiary data) in Stata?

Hi guys,
I'm a third year phd student and starting a new project where I have to use S&P 500 parent and subsidiary data but I have 0 prior knowledge. People keep telling me to "clean" the data, learn to "read" the data, and "understand" the data but honestly what does that mean? in the end, i should be able to try if I can merge this s&p dataset with another dataset to have a cross-country dataset.

I am struggling to find a way to start doing all of that. I have all the data infront of me downloaded and I have not merged yet, but is there any checklist or anything any structure I can follow to see if I am actually doing the right steps?
My PI has never done secondary data analysis, so I'm alone in this and want to avoid using AI as I cannot really learn and trust that I actually understand what I am doing with the data.
I would appreciate your expertise, experiences and comments. I am also new to reddit, Github etc so also learning everything new...
