A place doesn’t have to be contemporary and cutting-edge to be cool. Case in point: the Georgian Quarter in Liverpool. The 200-year-old locale has two cathedrals (the sci-fi-esque Metropolitan Cathedral and the gigantic Liverpool Anglican Cathedral), streets lined with classic 19th century townhouses, and an art deco Philharmonic Hall. But it also has an exciting creative edge, and is one of Time

Quick Read Marvell fell 14% in a week on Lumentum takeover reports, and with Lumentum’s $76 billion market cap, any deal would be a heavy lift.

Since bottoming out in October 2022, the S&P 500 (^GSPC -1.82%) has soared, fueled in no small part by enormous gains in stocks connected to artificial intelligence (AI).
