US Presidential Election 2024: Presidential debates have a history of creating defining moments, both triumphant and disastrous, for candidates. These unscripted live television events can highlight a candidate's relatability or expose their lack of preparedness, with past debates featuring instances that swayed entire election campaigns. Will the upcoming debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump in Philadelphia on Tuesday follow this trend? «Being live television events, without a script, without any way of knowing how they are going to evolve — anything can happen,» said Alan Schroeder, author of «Presidential Debates: 50 years of High-Risk TV.» One of the most recent impactful moments came from the June debate in Atlanta between President Joe Biden and Trump, which might go down as one of the most consequential political face-offs in history.

mutual funds invest most of their corpus in the large and mid cap stocks. As per the Sebi mandate, large & mid cap schemes are open-ended equity schemes that invest a minimum of 35% of total assets in large cap companies, and a minimum of 35% of total assets in mid cap stocks. However, this definition does not tell the whole story about the large & mid cap category. Consider this: The 35% mandatory investments in mid cap stocks make them risky. However, they are less risky than pure mid cap schemes that invest around 65% in mid cap stocks. Also, the 35% investments in large cap investments offer them some stability. But they are riskier than pure large cap schemes. Then there is the question of the remaining 30% of the corpus. The fund manager has the option to decide where the money will be invested. If he thinks the large cap space is attractive, he may invest in large cap stocks. If he thinks mid cap and small cap stocks are poised to take off, he may invest in them. As you can see, these investments may increase or decrease the risk in these schemes.

Neeraj Chopra moment in Tokyo that changed the face of javelin in India and inspired many to take up the sport. Harvinder Singh’s gold medal in para archery in the men’s individual recurve open event on Wednesday has similar potential. For a long time, the Olympics or Paralympics, archery has been about heartbreaks and missed opportunities. It was Limba Ram in 1992, Deepika Kumari in 2012 and Dhiraj Bommadevara in 2024. Bommadevara shot well but still missed out on a medal. In a sense, it was becoming a curse. Shoot offs, inner 10s, something or the other would keep happening and the Indians would miss the podium. The jinx was finally broken by Sheetal Devi and Rakesh Kumar when they won bronze in the mixed team event in compound. But they too faced a heartbreak in the semi final losing a shoot off against Iran. A gold medal, which has the ability to transform a sport, continued to be elusive.

Stree 2 has emerged as the most profitable Hindi film of 2024, eclipsing even the high-profile releases of the year. Released on August 15, 2024, the film has quickly risen to prominence, surpassing major blockbusters like Jawan, Animal, and Kalki 2898 AD in profitability, according to PVR Inox data. With earnings exceeding Rs 520 crore over its first 20 days and a production budget of approximately Rs 60 crore, Stree 2 has proven to be a major financial success, according to Sacnilk.com. The film achieved this milestone in just 18 days, making it the third fastest Hindi film to cross the Rs 500-crore mark, following Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan and Ranbir Kapoor's Animal. The movie’s impressive performance stands in stark contrast to the underwhelming returns from other big-budget films this year. The film’s strong showing is a welcome relief to exhibitors, particularly in a year where many high-profile Bollywood releases have faltered. Films featuring major stars like Akshay Kumar and Hrithik Roshan have struggled, with Akshay's Khel Khel Mein and Hrithik’s Fighter failing to make a significant impact. In comparison, Stree 2 has provided much-needed respite for cinema operators.
