Sir Jim Ratcliffe must be seriously conflicted. Manchester United’s advance towards the riches of the Champions League continued to gather pace under Michael Carrick thanks to the impact of Slovenia’s Benjamin Sesko for the second game in succession. The summer signing came off the bench to condemn Everton to another home defeat with a clinical finish and lift United to fourth in the table, only three points behind Aston Villa. Sesko, who preserved Carrick’s unbeaten record as United manager last time out at West Ham, was again their savour to settle a hard-fought contest with David Moyes’s side. It is now five wins and one draw from Carrick’s six games in charge. The audition for the permanent job could not have gone much better thus far. Continue reading...

Based on the true story of amateur sleuths appalled at the dumping of sewage in our rivers, this drama starring David Thewlis is a blast of controlled fury – and could become the next Mr Bates vs the Post Office We know, because ITV’s Mr Bates vs the Post Office showed us, that television drama can suddenly intensify public disgust at a scandal, forcing official attitudes to change. Will Dirty Business, Joseph Bullman’s drama-documentary on the great English and Welsh water pollution shame – whose storylines are based on real-life events – be another TV show that moves the needle? If this doesn’t do it, perhaps nothing will: this is a fist in the face, a blast of controlled fury that mounts an unanswerable case for the prosecution. The Cotswolds, 2016. Two neighbours, recently retired and hungry for a project, notice brown murk in the previously beautiful River Windrush. By profession, Ashley Smith (David Thewlis) was a real-life “Line of Duty” cop investigating corrupt cops, while Peter Hammond (Jason Watkins) was an Oxford maths professor. Together they look into a curious dumping of sewage and, when the explanation given by the privatised local water company doesn’t add up, they dig in. Ash’s infallible nose for dishonesty, married with the algorithm Peter devises to find patterns in confusing data, builds a picture of water infrastructure destroyed by three decades of underinvestment, leading to environmental calamity on a staggering scale across the country, with thousands of instances of rivers and seas tainted by untreated sewage. Real footage, shot by campaigners to show the extent of the damage, is woven into the drama. Continue reading...

Funtap/iStock via Getty Images Innovative Industrial Properties' ( IIPR ) Q4 earnings and revenue exceeded estimates as the company announced progress in diversifying its portfolio, strengthening its balance sheet, and resolving tenant-related matters. Shares were 2.49% higher Monday after the market close at $47.31. FFO per share of $1.78, which beats by $0.09, is down from $2.05 recorded in the same period a year ago. The San Diego-based industrial REIT reported Q4 revenue of $66.66M, which beats the consensus estimate by $0.73M but comes below the year-ago level of $76.74M. IIPR attributed the decrease primarily to a $8.5M reduction in rental revenue and a $1.6M decrease in tenant reimbursements, which stemmed from tenant defaults for properties leased to PharmaCann, TILT, and 4Front. Innovative Industrial Properties disclosed payments of $3.74M received from the defaulted tenant, Gold Flora, during the quarter, which had a per share impact of $0.13 in earnings. PharmaCann paid $0.24M during the quarter, having a per-share impact of $0.01. Gold Flora has paid $1.5M quarter-to-date, while PharmaCann has paid $1.45M. “During 2025, we made significant progress executing on our strategy to diversify the company’s portfolio, strengthen our balance sheet, and actively resolve tenant-related matters,” said Executive Chairman Alan Gold. “Our strategic investment in IQHQ and establishment of a new $100 million revolving credit facility reflect our disciplined approach to capital allocation, while our ongoing tenant resolutions and new leasing activity demonstrate the underlying value of, and demand for, our real estate portfolio,” added Gold.

Richard Drury/DigitalVision via Getty Images President Trump: “The Supreme Court’s Ruling on TARIFFS is deeply disappointing! I am ashamed of certain Members of the Court for not having the Courage to do what is right for our Country. I would like to thank and congratulate Justices Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh for your Strength, Wisdom, and Love of our Country, which is right now very proud of you. When you read the dissenting opinions, there is no way that anyone can argue against them. Foreign Countries that have been ripping us off for years are ecstatic, and dancing in the streets - But they won’t be dancing for long! The Democrats on the Court are thrilled, but they will automatically vote ‘NO’ against ANYTHING that makes America Strong and Healthy Again. They, also, are a Disgrace to our Nation. Others think they’re being ‘politically correct,’ which has happened before, far too often, with certain Members of this Court when, in fact, they’re just FOOLS and ‘LAPDOGS’ for the RINOS and Radical Left Democrats and, not that this should have anything to do with it, very unpatriotic, and disloyal to the Constitution. It is my opinion that the Court has been swayed by Foreign Interests, and a Political Movement that is far smaller than people would think - But obnoxious, ignorant, and loud!” “A disgrace to our nation.” “They’re very unpatriotic and disloyal to our constitution.” “ Swayed by foreign interests. ” “Ashamed of certain members.” Decision by Justices Gorsuch and Barrett was “an embarrassment to their families.” The President’s undermining of the trust of such a fundamental and defining institution of American government is yet another disturbing development. JD Vance: “This is lawlessness from the Court, plain and simple.” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: “ Despite the misplaced gloating from Democrats, ill-informed media outlets, and the very people who gutted our industrial base, the court did not rule against President Trump’s tariffs.

Eoneren/iStock via Getty Images The iShares US Broker-Dealers & Securities Exch ETF ( IAI ) has lost some price progress due to the AI scare in markets hitting financial stocks quite pronouncedly. The last time we covered this ETF, we commented on how we would have liked even more of the pro-volatility exposures. While it remains the case that some of the more attractive elements of IAI are the pro-volatility exposures in continuously uncertain markets (ironically, the very volatility of the IAI stocks will be a tailwind to the brokerage exposures within), we are also a little more bullish in the respect that we feel that particularly in financials the threat of AI is a little bit overdone. In particular, Asset Management ('AM') is already quite commodified and industrialized at this point and not that threatened, and the capital markets exposures here rely on the human component quite a lot such that the risks are not that pronounced there either. Brokerage shouldn't be threatened either by much the same logic as AM. We just don't feel that there's anything too tectonic going on in this part of the industry, in our initial estimation. On the other hand, we always prefer taking single picks and cutting out more macro-exposed businesses regardless of their AI exposure. IAI Breakdown Let's have a quick look at the sectoral exposures here : Sectors IAI (iShares) The granularity isn't great, since IB and brokerage for public markets have little in common, even in terms of underlying exposure to macro, since brokerage can be very countercyclical and is a pro-volatility bet. But the ETF is quite skewed towards certain top holdings, and we shift our view to that in order to build our own categories. Top Holdings weights and tickers (iShares) Brokerage and Financial Exchanges, which include ( SCHW ), ( CME ), ( ICE ), ( NDAQ ), ( IBKR ), ( CBOE ), ( COIN ), and ( HOOD ), some of ( MS ), ( MSCI ) in the sense that they are data providers for asset managers, ( TW ): taking in...

In this article UBER Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Uber to acquire SpotHero. Courtesy: Uber Technologies, Inc. Uber on Monday announced that it is acquiring SpotHero, a company that provides a parking reservation app. The ride-hailing company did not provide a deal price, but Uber said it plans to offer a "parking reservation experience, powered by SpotHero" within its own app to help users find parking for events, venues and airports. "For the moments when people do choose to drive, SpotHero on the Uber app will make the experience easier than ever, and bring more people into the Uber ecosystem," Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said in a statement. Earlier this month, Uber reported better-than-expected revenue for the fourth-quarter but issued soft profit guidance for the current period, sending the stock down. The company's strongest revenue growth for the quarter was in its delivery business, which started with restaurants and now includes groceries and retail. Uber's expansion into new markets and geographies has turned into the dominant U.S. ride-hailing company. Its market cap currently sits at $146 billion, while Lyft is valued at just over $5 billion. Within food delivery, Uber faces stout competition from companies including DoorDash , which has a market cap of over $71 billion. SpotHero last announced outside funding in 2019, when it raised $50 million in a round led by Macquarie Capital. The Chicago-based company launched in 2011, and now says it offers parking at more than 13,000 garages, lots and valets in over 400 cities in the U.S. and Canada. "Joining forces with Uber will allow us to bring that experience to millions more drivers and make parking a natural part of the Uber platform," SpotHero CEO Mark Lawrence said in a statement. Uber said the acquisition is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close in the first half of this year.

"The World Is In Peril": Anthropic's Safety Boss Quits Authored by Kay Rubacek via The Epoch Times, Most people have never heard of Mrinank Sharma. That is part of the problem. Earlier this month, Sharma resigned from Anthropic, one of the most influential artificial intelligence companies in the world. He had led its Safeguards Research Team, the group responsible for ensuring that Anthropic’s AI could not be used to help engineer a biological weapon. His final project was a study of how AI systems distort the way people perceive reality. It was serious, consequential work for humankind. His resignation letter was seen more than 14 million times on X. It opened with the words, “the world is in peril.” And it ended with a poem and by announcing that he was leaving one of the most consequential jobs in artificial intelligence to pursue a poetry degree. Yes, you read that right: peril and poetry. The poem he quoted is, “The Way It Is,” by the American poet William Stafford. It speaks of a thread that runs through a life—a thread that goes among things that change, but does not change itself. While you hold it, you cannot get lost. Tragedies happen. People suffer and grow old. Time unfolds, and nothing stops it. And the final line: you don’t ever let go of the thread. Although he didn’t state it explicitly, I argue that that thread is morality. It is the enduring sense that some things are right and some things are wrong—not because a law says so, and not because it is profitable, but because human beings, at their best, have just always known it. Sharma spent two years watching that thread being let go under pressure, in rooms the public is never shown. His letter said: “Throughout my time here, I’ve repeatedly seen how hard it is to truly let our values govern our actions. “I’ve seen this within myself, within the organization, where we constantly face pressures to set aside what matters most, and throughout broader society, too.” He wrote that humanity is approachin...
It'd probably be safe to say that bonds have spent much of the past 20 years failing to present a real investment case. Following the 2008 financial crisis, the Fed dropped interest rates to 0%. Short-term bond funds saw their yields drop to next to nothing. Longer-term bond funds were still able to produce yields of around 2%, but they were no longer the income generator they once were.

It'd probably be safe to say that bonds have spent much of the past 20 years failing to present a real investment case. Following the 2008 financial crisis, the Fed dropped interest rates to 0%. Short-term bond funds saw their yields drop to next to nothing. Longer-term bond funds were still able to produce yields of around 2%, but they were no longer the income generator they once were. Any attempts to raise interest rates damaged share prices. This dynamic peaked in 2022, when inflation jumped to around 9%, the Fed was forced to aggressively raise rates, and the Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (NASDAQ: BND) fell by nearly 20%.
