The concept of the metaverse has been around for a while. However, the past few months have seen a few big names starting to shift into the space.

Most company executives want to leave at what they view as the top. Many aren’t fortunate in that regard. But those who succeed can also leave a company before building problems can come to the forefront, and potentially damage shareholder value.

As a tech trend, quantum computing, a new and innovative way of processing information much more efficiently than traditional models, comes in and out of favor with investors.
