Sakorn Sukkasemsakorn/iStock via Getty Images Many retirees focus on buying dividend yields in the 3–5% range, whether it be the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF ( SCHD ), which has a dividend yield a little bit over 3% , or Realty Income ( O ) on the high end, which yields around 5%. The thought process behind this is that a 3–5% dividend yield in many cases proves to be sustainable over time and also leaves enough cash flow in reserve for the companies so that they can reinvest it to grow their business consistently over time, thereby leading to dividend growth that meets or beats inflation over the long term. This has certainly proven to be the case with both SCHD and O. However, many retirees see a 3–5% yield as being a little bit too low for them to be able to live off of dividends in retirement and still retire at a reasonable age. Thus, in some cases it may be necessary to dip into some higher-yielding securities to augment these core lower-yielding dividend growth machines. Of course, the trick there is making sure you're buying an investment that provides valuable diversification benefits and should be at least somewhat sustainable over time. Otherwise, you risk stepping on a land mine that ends up cutting its dividend anyway and destroying a lot of your capital in the process. With this in mind, in this article I will detail two of these opportunities. A New High-Income MLP ETF Worth Watching The first one I'm going to discuss is the NEOS MLP & Energy Infrastructure High Income ETF ( MLPI ), which was launched late last year by NEOS Investments, the same company that has created popular funds like the NEOS Nasdaq-100 High Income ETF ( QQQI ) and the NEOS S&P 500 High Income ETF ( SPYI ), which pursue covered call strategies that also include exposure to underlying indexes like the Nasdaq and the S&P 500. MLPI, meanwhile, pursues a somewhat simpler strategy while targeting underlying holdings in infrastructure companies that service the energy ( XLE ) sector...

Good morning . Donald Trump said the US will begin guiding some ships through Hormuz as fresh tensions hit. GameStop makes a bold play.

Listen to the day’s top stories . — Marc Perrier Market Snapshot S&P 500 Futures 7,251.25 -0.1% Nasdaq 100 Futures 27,830.00 -0.0% Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index 1,194.52 +0.1% Market data as of 07:00 AM ET. Data is subject to provider delays. Donald Trump said the US will begin guiding some neutral ships through the Strait of Hormuz starting today, testing his ability to restore traffic. The plan, outlined with few details, has left shipping executives perplexed , while Iran warned the move would breach the ceasefire, news outlet Al Mayadeen reported. Oil prices surged after unverified media reports claimed two missiles hit an American patrol boat after disregarding Iranian warnings. The US denied the ship was hit, Axios reported. Major OPEC+ nations agreed on a symbolic hike , but the actual supply will be dependent on the reopening of Hormuz. The president threatened to cut the US military presence in Germany by more than the 5,000-troop drawdown announced so far , even as key Republican allies and NATO countries questioned the move . Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio is said to be traveling to Rome later this week after Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Trump clashed over the war and Pope Leo XIV.

Welcome to Tech In Depth, our daily newsletter about the business of tech from Bloomberg’s journalists around the world. Today, Austin Carr reports on Elon Musk’s testimony in his lawsuit to block OpenAI’s transition to a for-profit company. Tech Across the Globe Meta invests in robots: The social media company acquired Assured Robot Intelligence, a startup developing AI models for robots. Read why Meta made the deal . GameStop’s gambit: The games retailer announced an audacious $56 billion bid for eBay. Ryan Cohen would become CEO of a combined entity, promising $2 billion in savings within first year. The idea was met with skepticism. The Pentagon gets AI: The US Defense Department struck agreements with more tech companies for expanded use of advanced AI tools on classified military networks. See which companies are participating . Revalued AI chipmaker Cerebras is targeting a valuation of about $40 billion in its initial public offering, a jump from a February fundraising round that valued the startup at $23 billion. The company, which plans to begin formally marketing the IPO as soon as Monday, may be seeking to raise as much as $4 billion in the share sale. Risky business Across hours of trial testimony last week in his contentious lawsuit against OpenAI , Elon Musk sought to make one thing starkly clear: The fate of humanity is ultimately at stake in this court case. Musk, who is fighting to unwind OpenAI’s transition from a nonprofit to a profit-driven business, has repeatedly warned jurors of the existential risks that artificial intelligence poses in the wrong hands. He stressed that the world needs to avoid a “ Terminator situation ,” referencing the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic. “If you’ve seen the movie, it’s not a good situation.” Musk said. “Worst case situation would be that AI kills us all, I suppose.” Of course, there’s just one tiny hiccup in implying a for-profit AI company may represent a greater danger to society: Musk happens to be running on...

US stock futures saw volatile early Monday trading with news reports of Iranian missiles hitting a US Navy ship. While those reports cited IRGC-aligned Fars News Agency , a senior US official said that a ship was not hit by Iranian missiles, according to Axios, which helped futures erase some of the earlier losses. S&P 500 futures were down 0.2% as of 6:40 a.m. in New York. Nasdaq 100 contracts were little changed. West Texas Intermediate crude climbed around 3% to about $105 per barrel. On Friday, the S&P 500 had extended a record-breaking streak to mark a fifth week of gains after a slew of solid earnings reports. Oil had also dropped on hopes that the US and Iran were getting closer to a ceasefire agreement. Pre-market gainers on Monday included eBay Inc. , which added 10% after a bold $56 billion cash and stock offer from GameStop Corp. Palantir Technologies Inc ., which is expected to post a 74% increase in revenue year-over-over when it reports after the bell, rose 2.1% . First-quarter earnings season is so far delivering better-than-expected results , with the proportion of companies missing analysts’ estimates hovering at the lowest level since 2021. “Earnings expanded in all 11 sectors,” adding 11.9% at the index level, Seaport Chief Equity Strategist Jonathan Golub wrote in a Monday note. Growth beat value, while the top four stock contributors in April were Alphabet Inc, Nvidia Corp., Amazon.com Inc. and Broadcom Inc., which added 488 basis points to S&P 500 returns, he said.

Toyota provided flights from Albany, New York, to Tokyo and accommodation so Ars could visit Woven City. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. At the Consumer Electronics Show in 2020, Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda pledged to build a city of the future, a place where researchers, engineers, and scientists could live and work together. It was framed as the start of a transformation for the world's largest car company, moving it toward becoming a fully fledged mobility company. Six months ago, after Toyota spent an estimated $10 billion to build an urban paradise atop a disused factory, the first residents moved in. One-hundred handpicked "Weavers," residents chosen to boost the tech cred of the sensor-laden mini-metropolis, began settling in. Last week, I got a chance to check it out. Here's what I learned while wandering the streets of Toyota's vision of the future. Read full article Comments

Wu Yize takes 10-7 overnight lead into second day Day one report | Follow us on Bluesky | Mail Daniel Human beings are born with hope – we all have ambitions and desires when we’re young, then life and reality coach them out of us. So on the odd occasion we come across someone with the talent and drive, ego and discipline to withstand the onslaught, it’s moving: they’re not just fulfilling themselves but us, our pain and desperation converted into tranquility and joy. In that sense, sport is one of the more worthy activities we can pursue, teaching us to celebrate others with full hearts – to see our species as one – which, in these divided times, means a lot. The snooker won’t heal us, but goodness me, it’s up there with the best we have to offer ourselves by way of comfort. Continue reading...

Kevin Warsh, chairman of the US Federal Reserve nominee for US President Donald Trump, during a Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee confirmation hearing in Washington, DC, US, on Tuesday, April 21, 2026. Graeme Sloan | Bloomberg | Getty Images Most people don't know and don't have much reason to care what a currency swap line is, except that the financial instrument could soon help markets understand what Federal Reserve Chair nominee Kevin Warsh 's unique ideas about Fed independence really mean. Warsh has said categorically the Fed should be "strictly independent" in the making of monetary policy. But he adds that he's willing to work with Congress and the Trump administration on "non-monetary matters." In answers to senators' questions following his April 21 confirmation hearing , he elaborated: "Fed officials are not entitled to the same special deference in areas affecting international finance, among other matters." Warsh has also talked often about a new "Fed/Treasury accord" that he's suggested could govern the Fed's balance sheet , though in ways he has yet to detail. To six former Fed officials interviewed for this article, those comments were unclear or confusing at best. When it comes to Fed independence, they found his analysis worrisome at worst. The outcomes could be benign, tinkering around the edges of existing conventions, or more concerning limitations to the Fed's ability to use its balance sheet in a crisis. Because of the lack of clarity in Warsh's comments, none of the former officials who spoke with CNBC were ready yet to draw conclusions either way.
