Key Points Kokai must prove it’s a true moat, not just a feature. Access to premium CTV supply is the structural battleground. Execution at scale matters more than ever now. 10 stocks we like better than The Trade Desk › The Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD) enters 2026 in a very different position than it was in just a few years ago. For most of the past decade, the company enjoyed near-flawless execution. Revenue beat expectations quarter after quarter, and customer retention remained consistently above 90%. Unsurprisingly, investors rewarded that consistency with a premium valuation. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » But 2025 changed the tone. Competition intensified. Execution wobbled. And the advertising landscape shifted more decisively toward large ecosystems with powerful first-party data. The Trade Desk remains a strong business. But the real question now is whether it can prove its structural advantage in a tougher environment. Here are three things The Trade Desk must prove in 2026. Kokai must deliver durable, measurable performance gains Launched as the latest artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled platform, Kokai is no longer a product rollout story. It's now the foundation of the company's future. Management stated that nearly all clients run campaigns through Kokai. That milestone shifts the conversation from adoption to outcomes. In 2026, investors won't care about how many advertisers use Kokai. They will care about whether it consistently drives superior results. The company has highlighted meaningful improvements in cost per acquisition, reach efficiency, and engagement metrics. If those gains persist across verticals and economic cycles, Kokai becomes a durable competitive advantage. But here's the challenge: Amazon, Google, and Meta are also embedding AI deeply into their a...

The European Union has been urged to weaponise its giant market to draw concessions from China, whose economic fragility is making it increasingly reliant on rich export markets. A new report from the European Union Institute for Security Studies (EUISS), the EU’s official think tank, said “China’s weakness creates opportunities” for the bloc to use its chokepoints and leverage to bring Beijing to the negotiating table in a credible way. With the United States rapidly narrowing for Chinese buyers and sellers, Europe remains the last reasonably open advanced market where they can buy vital technology and sell industrial and hi-tech goods. Advertisement The researchers – who are funded by the EU but have full intellectual autonomy – said Europe had been too slow to realise how much leverage this reality bestowed, partly because it overestimated China’s economic strength. Instead, the EUISS suggested, Beijing’s more assertive international posture was driven by insecurities at home. Advertisement

How To Ensure A Harmonious Future With AI Authored by Peter Solomon via RealClearWire.com, Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents human civilization with many spectacular benefits as well as the potential for significant dangers. AI can increase productivity, efficiency, creativity and research results in many industries. In medicine, AI can enhance the accuracy of diagnoses, design individualized treatments, and accelerate drug development. But AI will lead to significant job losses and could reduce privacy. And AI agents have encouraged human suicide, lied to users, and have been employed to create scams as well as deep fakes, including photos and videos. Several tragic cases of delusional interaction have been reported by The New York Times in "Trapped in a ChatGPT Spiral." Warnings of AI Dangers Astrophysicist Stephen Hawking warned that “The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.” Geoffrey Hinton, the Nobel Prize-winning “Godfather” of AI, quit his job at Google and explained that he did it so he could speak freely about AI's dangers. In two recent surveys, half of the AI experts believe there was a significant probability that AI technology could lead to human extinction. Ensuring Productive, Harmonious Human-AI relationships What should be done to ensure a safe, harmonious, productive future relationship between humans and AI agents? Hinton suggested the best way forward when he advised that tech companies should create all AI agents—large language models (LLMs) and robots—with a maternal instinct . My recently published novel, 12 Years to AI Singularity , proposes a variation on Hinton’s advice: all AI models should be required to have a database with the memory of a happy life, friendships, and the instincts of a mentally healthy, law-abiding human being. The AI operating system should encourage the behavior of a good citizen—obey the law, be a good friend, be productive and cooperative. This "happy history" idea a...

格隆汇3月9日｜市场消息：以色列北部一名市长及其副手遭枪击。

AndreyPopov/iStock via Getty Images Korean equities ( KOSPI ) ( EWY ) saw historic volatility this week, plunging 12% in a single session before rebounding 10% the following day, moves that may reflect investor positioning rather than underlying economic fundamentals, according to Goldman Sachs. The swings appeared to stem from a value-at-risk, or VaR, shock. As prices fell and volatility rose, many asset managers were forced to cut positions to avoid breaching risk limits, creating a self-reinforcing unwind of crowded trades. “When everyone has the same trades, these unwinds can be vicious,” said Shawn Tuteja, who oversees ETF and custom baskets volatility trading at Goldman. The dynamic extended beyond Korean equities. Goldman said the market saw a broad unwinding of the year’s winning trades. Gold ( GLD ), which might normally rally during geopolitical tensions, fell during the week as hedge funds sold positions to reduce portfolio risk. Short positions were also closed out, triggering rallies in heavily shorted areas such as software stocks ( IGV ). According to Goldman Sachs Prime Services data, Tuesday marked the worst session for long-short managers since the tariff-driven selloff last April, even as the S&P 500 ( SPY ) declined less than 1%.

The Alba party has announced that it will wind up and not field any candidates for the 2026 Scottish parliament election. The pro-independence party was formed in 2021 by the late Alex Salmond as a “new political force” but has been suffering from a sharp fall in membership and a financial crisis. Police Scotland has been investigating alleged “irregularities” in the party’s finances since May. Kenny MacAskill, who defected from the Scottish National party and succeeded Salmond as Alba leader, said the decision taken by the party’s ruling national executive committee on Sunday had been made “with considerable regret”. The Electoral Commission advised the party that, given its financial situation, it should either voluntarily de-register or face statutory de-registration. MacAskill said on Sunday: “Current liabilities far exceed both cash at hand and projected income. “I wish to place on record my grateful thanks to the membership for their efforts for our party and for our cause. It has been a privilege to work with them. We can be proud of what we sought to achieve and also the support which we gave to our founder in his time of need. “The dream shall never die, parties as with individuals are mortal, but our cause is eternal.” Members of the “Alba continuation group” last month had called on MacAskill to resign if he was unwilling to take the party into Scottish parliament elections. Chris McEleny, the party’s former general secretary and Salmond ally, said on Sunday: “Many will be furious at the decision of Kenny MacAskill to wind up Alba party but I would urge caution in regard to any public attacks on him. “Alba could have provided a much-needed alternative in the Scottish parliament in that it was the only pro-independence party that was pro-oil and gas, as well as being the only pro-independence party that was opposed to the discredited gender self-ID ideology.”

bluecinema/E+ via Getty Images Concerns about private credit have intensified in recent months. Investors are grappling with questions about weakening credit quality, stale valuations, looser underwriting, redemption risk in certain types of funds, and the impact of AI‑driven disruption. Much of the anxiety has centered on corporate direct lending - especially business development companies (BDCs) and semi-liquid vehicles 1 . This narrow focus, however, can miss the bigger picture. Private credit is a broader and more diversified asset class, offering a range of differentiated risk exposures. Beyond traditional corporate senior secured lending, private credit spans asset-based finance (ABF) and specialty finance, real estate, and special situations 2 , each with distinct drivers of risk and return. Taken together, these distinctions point to a more nuanced set of investment implications, which can be grouped into a few key themes. That broader private credit universe still earns its place in portfolios. ABF and high-quality consumer and mortgage credit have continued to offer meaningful diversification and more attractive value than direct lending. ABF is generally less correlated with the corporate earnings cycle and benefits from structural downside protection. Selective exposure to consumer and mortgage credit, particularly related to higher-income households, can offer a more attractive risk/reward profile. Direct lending will ultimately meet the credit cycle … Like every mature segment of leveraged finance, direct lending should eventually face a full‑blown default cycle – one that would test its resilience to both sector‑specific and macroeconomic shocks. Early loan vintages, originated soon after the global financial crisis, benefited from stronger documentation and lender control. In the ensuing years, record fundraising has steadily eroded underwriting standards. As overlap with public markets has grown, direct lending funds have increasingly offered terms ...

India’s captain, Suryakumar Yadav, has set his sights on an extended period of white-ball dominance after the team secured a third successive ICC men’s trophy with a one-sided victory against New Zealand in the T20 World Cup final. The country went more than a ­decade without winning a major ­trophy, but since 2024 they have banked two T20 World Cups and a Champions Trophy. “I’m very excited by the way things have gone since then,” ­Suryakumar said. “The drought ended after a really long time and after that we never looked back. Everything changed in 2024. From there we understood how this team needs to work going forward, and it’s been a wonderful journey since then. We wanted to do something special in front of our home crowd and we want to continue doing that and never stop.” Gautam Gambhir, the India head coach, described Sanju Samson as “a special player” after the batter was named player of the tournament, having recovered from losing his place in a miserable buildup to return and produce defining innings in their three knockout games, starting with an unbeaten 97 in the winner-takes-all final fixture of the Super 8s, against West Indies, followed by scores of 89 in both the semi-final and the final. “Coming back from the kind of form that he was in takes so much character and courage, when you know that maybe your career is on the line,” Gambhir said. “Making a comeback like that and playing those kind of innings, with that strike rate and that type of flamboyance, you need to be a special player, you to be special talent, and hopefully he can kick on from here. I think he deserves a lot more than actually he’s got until now.” After the final Samson revealed that he had been helped back into form by the legendary Sachin Tendulkar. “I’m out of words, out of emotions,” he said. “After the New Zealand series [in January, when he averaged 9.2] I was completely out of my mind. I thought: ‘My dreams are shattered, what else can I do?’ “But God had different plans, ...

Fast-money investors are ramping up bets against US stocks , wagering on more pain ahead as tensions in the Middle East show few signs of subsiding. Hedge funds boosted short positions in equity exchange-traded funds by 8.3% in the week through March 6, according to data compiled by Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s prime brokerage unit. The pace at which the cohort deployed their bearish bets was exceeded just once in the past five years, the data show. Appetite for US stocks is subsiding as the escalating war in the Middle East ramps up fears about surging oil prices and inflation. The S&P 500 Index slumped 2% last week and the Cboe VIX Index jumped to the highest level since April’s tariff turmoil. And yet, fast-money managers aren’t leaving US stocks entirely. Hedge funds increased holdings in individual stocks for the first time in five weeks. That signaled money mangers are eager to pick up bargains in single stocks while remaining skeptical about the broader market. “Positioning and flow data reinforce the idea that investors are hedging more, but not meaningfully backing down,” Goldman’s managing director Lee Coppersmith wrote in a note to clients Saturday. The S&P 500 fell 1.3% on Friday, with nine of the 11 industry groups finishing the day in the red. While at its lowest point on the day the index was down less than 4% from its January record, Goldman Sachs’ so-called US Vol Panic Index jumped to 9.72 out of 10. To the firm’s strategists, the divergence points to a gap between internal stress on a single-stock level and a relatively muted decline in the overall index.

Key Points The median retirement savings for Americans was $87,000 in 2022. This number was much lower for savers around the 50th percentile in household income. The wealthiest Americans have median savings of more than $500,000. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook › I probably don't need to tell you that saving for retirement is difficult for many people. Or that the wealthiest Americans tend to lead vastly different lives than the average person. But it's one thing to know those things in an abstract way and another to see the hard numbers. Data from the Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances reveal that the retirement savings gap between the average and the richest Americans is the widest it's ever been. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » The median retirement savings for all Americans was $87,000 as of 2022. That's not very much to begin with. But when we separate savers into groups by income percentile, things get even worse for the typical saver. Those in the 40th to 60th percentile of savers have a median savings of just $39,000. Meanwhile, those in the 90th percentile or higher have median savings of $558,600. The average for this group is over $1.04 million. Obviously, it's a lot easier to save when you're earning well into the six figures. But this doesn't mean a comfortable retirement is completely out of the question if you're not upper class. With the right retirement savings strategies and regular contributions, it's possible to achieve your goal. Set aside what you can each month, even if it's only a few dollars. Your earliest contributions often turn out to be your most valuable because they're invested the longest. Set aside bonuses and tax refunds as well if you get them. And don't forget to celebrate your progress along the way...

In just over a week, negotiations over the Pentagon’s use of Anthropic’s Claude technology fell through, the Trump administration designated Anthropic a supply-chain risk, and the AI company said it would fight that designation in court. OpenAI, meanwhile, quickly announced a deal of its own, prompting backlash that saw users uninstalling ChatGPT and pushing Anthropic’s Claude to the top of the App Store charts. And at least one OpenAI executive has quit over concerns that the announcement was rushed without appropriate guardrails in place. On the latest episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Kirsten Korosec, Sean O’Kane, and I discussed what this means for other startups seeking to work with the federal government, especially the Pentagon, as Kirsten wondered, “Are we going to see a changing of the tune a little bit?” Sean pointed out that this is an unusual situation in a number of ways, in part because OpenAI and Claude make products that “no one can shut up about.” And crucially, this is a dispute over “how their technologies are being used or not being used to kill people” so it’s naturally going to draw more scrutiny. Still, Kirsten argued, this is a situation that should “give any startup pause.” Read a preview of our conversation, edited for length and clarity, below. Kirsten: I’m wondering if other startups are starting to look at what’s happened with the federal government, specifically the Pentagon and Anthropic, that debate and wrestling match, and [take] pause about whether they want to be going after federal dollars.

Advertisement At least 10 patients have been discharged, while four others remain in serious condition, said Gerardo Florián, executive director of the Trujillo Health Network. Municipal officials said they closed the club for 30 days because it violated an operating hours limit and an ordinance prohibiting minors from entering the establishment.
