"Valuation signals are mixed and investor positioning is a significant source of near-term risk, but still attractive fundamentals and quant scores provide the offset," a group of equity strategists at the firm led by Savita Subramanian wrote in a client note. "We remain marketweight the tech sector."

Meanwhile, the bottom 99% are taking on increasing amounts of debt, causing their ratio of cash to debt to fall to 15%, the lowest level of the last decade — including the years before the Great Financial Crisis, the report said. This means that, excluding the richest 25 companies, the average U.S. company holds only 15 cents in cash for every dollar it owes.

To try to keep things ticking along, chipmakers have been tinkering with the basic design of the transistor itself. In 2012, for example, Intel, the biggest chipmaker of the lot, introduced transistors in which the gate surrounds the channel on three sides, making it better able to impose its will. Now IBM, a computing firm, has gone one better. In collaboration with Samsung, a Korean electronics giant, and GlobalFoundries, another big chipmaker, it has developed a new kind of transistor composed of three sheets of silicon, laid horizontally, which are surrounded completely by gate material. Such devices remain laboratory prototypes. But IBM’s engineers reckon they should permit Moore’s law to carry on until the mid 2020s.

Dogs have their own innate sense of fairness and did not learn this from humans as previously believed, a new study has concluded. In fact the research suggested the opposite may be true – that dogs have learned greater acceptance of inequitable treatment as a result of their close relationship with people. In tests, wolves and dogs would both refuse to take part if they received no reward for pressing a buzzer while a partner animal got one for doing so. The same was true if they received a lower quality prize. It was thought that dogs had learned the importance of equality – seen as a sophisticated trait found in humans and some primates – during the domestication process, but the study found the wolves displayed a greater reluctance to take part once they realised what was going on.
