If you're a crypto investor, it pays to take a long-term, buy-and-hold approach. There's no better example of this than Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) , the world's most popular cryptocurrency. Trying to profit from Bitcoin's short-term price swings just doesn't work. The volatility is just too great. If you're investing in Bitcoin , the only approach that works is a "set it and forget it" approach. Just take a look at Bitcoin's historical returns in the period from 2012 to 2025. During that 13-year time period, Bitcoin posted double-digit returns in seven of those years. And in 2019, Bitcoin just missed, with a 95% return. Continue reading

adventtr/iStock via Getty Images Dell Technologies ( DELL ) continues to be an attractive buy for me despite the strong bull run because the story has evolved so much that the market has yet to catch up with the change. This is no longer a company whose valuation was driven by potential AI growth. With a backlog of $43 billion and AI-related order intake at $64 billion, there is no shortage of growth here, with a large portion of it baked into the equation. Paying ~14-16 times earnings at ~20%+ growth rate means that I am effectively paying market valuations for a company that enjoys extremely good visibility. Why the Revaluation of Dell Makes Sense It is clear why there has been a flurry of attention on Dell lately. The financial numbers that the company reported are quite compelling, with 342% y/y growth in AI-optimized servers revenue, $113.5 billion in total revenue , and an EPS of $10.30, all very good indicators. Nevertheless, none of these constitute news. The point is that Dell has made a fundamental change to its business model within less than one year. This justifies the re-rating. Q4 FY26 The most crucial part of Dell's shift is the forward-looking change. The company had $64 billion worth of AI orders at the end of FY2026 and ended the fiscal year with a backlog of $43 billion worth of AI orders. That is not just a pipeline of orders. That is already committed demand that will turn into revenue over the course of several upcoming quarters. That is why I find the distinction between pipeline and backlog crucial. While companies active in the AI space are valued on expectations, Dell is increasingly doing it on execution. Management is guiding towards revenues of $140 billion in FY2027 and $50 billion in AI servers. Those numbers are no longer speculative; they are backed by orders already made by Dell's clients. That cuts out one of the biggest concerns of growth investing, timing. Data by YCharts Why Dell Has Transitioned From Being a Cyclical Company I...

In this article US30Y US2Y US10Y Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT U.S. Treasury yields were little changed on Wednesday as investors awaited the outcome of what could be Jerome Powell's final policy meeting as Federal Reserve chair. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note — the key benchmark for U.S. government borrowing — was broadly unchanged at 4.358%. The 2-year Treasury note yield, which more closely tracks short-term Federal Reserve interest rate policy, was also flat at 3.848%. The longer-dated 30-year Treasury bond yield was little changed at 4.946%. One basis point is equal to 0.01%, and yields and prices move in opposite directions. The Fed's two-day monetary policy meeting wraps up on Wednesday, when outgoing Fed chair Powell and the Federal Open Market Committee are widely expected to keep interest rates on hold at the current 3.50% to 3.75% level. He is expected to lead his fellow policymakers toward another cautious pause, with stubborn inflation and a resilient labor market leaving little room for interest rate cuts. "On the dual mandate, they'd say we're roughly at a stable labor market," Roger Ferguson, an economist and former vice chair at the Fed, told CNBC. "On the inflation side of the mandate, [there's] a lot more work to be done with a sticky 3% [inflation rate], and I hope they argue, 'we're going to sit tight for a little while to see how this all plays out.'" Kevin Warsh, Powell's successor, appears on track to take the helm at the central bank. Sen. Thom Tillis said Sunday he is willing to end his blockade of Warsh's nomination after the U.S. Department of Justice dropped its criminal investigation into current chair Powell. The Senate Banking Committee is set to vote on his confirmation on Wednesday, and the full Senate could take it up shortly after. With Tillis's support, the confirmation of President Donald Trump 's pick to lead the Fed is all but assured. — CNBC's Jeff Cox and Matt Peterson also contributed to this ...

New-energy vehicles are ready to be loaded onto ships for export at Shanghai Port on April 14. Photo: VCG The EU’s tightening carbon regime is emerging as a new barrier to Chinese auto exports, prompting vehicle manufacturers to step up decarbonization efforts and strengthen carbon footprint management across their supply chains. On Jan. 1, the EU officially put into force the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), a regulatory tool that applies a levy at the EU border on the greenhouse gas content of imported cement, iron and steel, aluminum, fertilizers, electricity and hydrogen. Furthermore, the European Commission has proposed to expand the scope of the CBAM to include approximately 180 steel and aluminum-intensive downstream products, such as mechanical equipment and automobiles and their components, starting in 2028.
