On October 12, 2020, Wall Street found its footing not in the halls of government but in the unveiling of a new device — Apple's iPhone 12, the first of its kind to carry 5G connectivity, sent the company's shares surging 6.4% and lifted the broader market with it. The Nasdaq rose 2.6%, the S&P 500 gained 1.6%, and even the more cautious Dow edged upward 0.9%, as investors chose the promise of technological progress over the uncertainty of stalled stimulus talks in Washington. It is a familiar human impulse: when institutions falter, we turn to invention.
