Key Points When others flee the market, Cathie Wood rushes in to seize great buying opportunities. The top investor favors innovators and aims to hold onto them for the long term. 10 stocks we like better than CoreWeave › The market has been turbulent in recent weeks, with a broad range of concerns weighing on investors' minds. Some have worried about the valuations of artificial intelligence (AI) stocks and whether these players will live up to expectations. Investors also have questioned the state of the economy and are waiting for additional clarity on the pace of interest rate cuts. Finally, the conflict in Iran has added to market uncertainty, and as a result, the S&P 500 has shifted from gains to losses multiple times in a short period. Against this backdrop, it's impossible to predict how even the highest-quality stocks will fare in a period of days or weeks. But if you are a long-term investor, it's an excellent idea to go shopping for stocks during difficult times. Long-term investing, or holding onto stocks for at least five years, is the surest ticket to an investment win. That's because it offers you time to accompany a company through its growth story -- and time will limit the impact of the down markets you encounter along the way. Meanwhile, when stocks fall, you can get in on them for great prices. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire?

British Columbia to make daylight saving time permanent toggle caption Charles Krupa/AP Across much of the United States and Canada, daylight saving time begins Sunday at 2:00 a.m. local time. Most people will turn their clocks forward an hour, trading an hour of sunlight in the mornings for more daylight at the end of the day. When it ends, clocks will turn backward by an hour nearly eight months later to have more morning light in the darkest days of winter. But British Columbia will switch their clocks for the last time — ushering in a new era of permanent daylight saving time. The switch was supported by "more than 90% of British Columbians," said David Eby, premier of British Columbia. Sponsor Message "The way that we live our lives now in the modern era, having an extra hour of sunlight at the end of the day, whether it's the winter or the summer, makes a big difference for people," Eby told NPR's Adrian Ma on All Things Considered. While the idea may be a popular one among British Columbia residents, experts in sleep medicine and public health are not fans of the time change. "Daylight saving time has been shown to have a lot of negative effects," said Emily Manoogian, a senior staff scientist at the Salk Institute and an executive member of the Center for Circadian Biology at University of California, San Diego. "And actually the United States tried permanent daylight savings in the seventies for one year. It was so awful that they reverted it almost immediately." People went to work in the dark and children walked to school in the dark. And then, "there were a few fatal car accidents," she said, which led to the reversal. Eby acknowledged health risks, but added that people in his province are used to waking up in the dark and taking their kids to school in the dark during the winter. "We're on the very western edge of the time zone and so we have dark mornings anyway," he said. "People really want that hour at the end of the day." Sponsor Message Why dayli...

An exceptionally warm February in Hong Kong does not spell the end of winters forever, yet the city’s warmest winter on record signals far more than a fleeting anomaly. Across the Pacific, meanwhile, polar vortex disruptions have unleashed Arctic blasts, burying parts of the United States under feet of snow, cutting power, closing schools and grounding flights. These extremes – from subtropical warm spells to polar chills – highlight a warming world with increasingly unpredictable weather, demanding stronger action and preparedness from authorities. Hong Kong Observatory data shows the mean monthly temperature for February hitting 20.1 degrees Celsius (68.2 degrees Fahrenheit), three degrees above normal and the second highest on record for the month. Combined with December temperatures well above normal and warmer-than-usual January weather, this yielded the warmest winter since records began in 1884, averaging 19.3 degrees, two degrees above normal. Only five cold days occurred, tying for the third lowest total on record. Advertisement The warm season stands in sharp contrast to the chaos from Arctic storms in North America . Climate change’s precise impact on the polar vortex – a stratospheric wind ring trapping cold air – remains unclear, complicating forecasts on whether the stronger-than-usual cold snaps will hit again in the coming years. From record downpours to frequent summer heat alerts, extreme weather has seemingly become the norm in Hong Kong, not the exception. The impact of blurring seasonal lines goes beyond wardrobe adjustments; it exposes policymakers to increasingly erratic weather patterns that demand robust preparedness. Advertisement Shifting from reaction to foresight is the first line of defence. The onslaught of super typhoons and rainstorms in recent years has exposed gaps in infrastructure and emergency responses, while surging hot-weather alerts reflect global warming, fuelled by carbon emissions and urban design flaws.

Venezuela's Gas Potential Could Overshadow Its Famous Oil Reserves Authored by Felicity Bradstock via OilPrice.com, While attention is often on Venezuela's vast oil reserves, many experts believe that exploiting its natural gas fields, which were previously neglected, presents a more immediate opportunity for economic success. Developing Venezuela's gas industry will likely require an energy partnership with neighboring Trinidad and Tobago, as the island nation possesses the necessary infrastructure for processing and exporting the fuel that Venezuela lacks. Major international companies like Shell and BP are pursuing key Venezuelan gas projects, such as the Dragon and Cocuina fields, a move facilitated by greater leniency on U.S. sanctions. Following the United States intervention in Venezuela on 3rd January, which brought an end to President Nicolás Maduro’s 13-year dictatorship, all eyes have been on the South American country’s oil industry. Once one of the world’s biggest oil producers, output has waned in recent years. However, with U.S. President Trump setting his sights on Venezuelan crude, many are speculating just how quickly its resources can be tapped. While the focus is on Venezuela’s potential as an oil power, others think that more immediate success may be seen in the exploitation of its gas fields. Venezuela is home to the largest oil reserves in the world, with an estimated 300 billion barrels. However, years of underinvestment and mismanagement have led to a significant reduction in output. The recent U.S. intervention in the South American country has drawn new investor interest in its energy market, as President Trump vows to rapidly redevelop Venezuela’s long-neglected oil resources. On 13th February, the White House published a press release that stated , “The Trump Administration is rapidly implementing President Trump’s vision to reopen and develop Venezuela’s oil industry for the shared benefit of the American and Venezuelan people.

But the stock has struggled recently, trading down about 34% in the past 12 months and almost 13% year to date.

While personal computer sales have been solid, HP has seen a drop in printer sales as people move toward digital. 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 » In addition, HP has been saddled with higher expenses, in part due to tariffs on components, relocating manufacturing to lower-tariff areas, and rising costs for memory components. Due to the high memory demand from artificial intelligence (AI), memory accounts for more of the PC build than it has in the past, about 35%, double what it was just a few quarters ago. On top of that, the cost of memory components has been rising because of the demand and supply shortage. Combined, these factors have increased costs for HP and been a drag on earnings. They caused the company to project earnings to be at the lower end of its guidance range for this fiscal year. The bull case for HP These factors have soured not only investors on HP, but Wall Street analysts as well. The stock has a median price target of $19 per share, which is essentially where it is now. Further, some 32% of analysts say "sell," as opposed to just 21% who rate it as a buy. But there are a couple of reasons why the majority of analysts may be wrong. For starters, the stock is dirt cheap, trading at ju...

Jack Draper came from behind to beat Roberto Bautista Agut 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 to start his title defence in Indian Wells. The British men’s No 1 is continuing his comeback from eight months out with an arm injury and played his first ATP Tour event since Queen’s last June in Dubai last week, losing in the second round. The 24-year-old, who still wears a protective sleeve on his left arm, looked out of sorts during the opening set, some wayward returns proving costly. But he rallied at the start of the second, opting for power as a string of well-struck returns was capped by a backhand winner down the line to break Bautista Agut for a 2-0 lead. Another confident hold from the world No 14 put him back on track and he moved 5-2 in front with another love service game and confidently closed out the second set. Draper mixed things up in the decider, forcing breaks in the third and seventh game to take control at 5-2. Although Bautista Agut dug in to have three break-point chances in the next game, Draper saved them all with some booming serves before closing out a hard-earned win in one hour and 46 minutes. “It felt amazing. I have really felt good here,” Draper said in his on-court interview. “It is good to be back somewhere I have great memories, but at the same time I was a little bit under-prepared because of the amount of tennis I have missed. “I was coming out today against a really formidable opponent in Roberto Bautista. The first set was a bit edgy, but then I have managed to find a little bit of spark. “Hopefully I can keep on progressing from here with how I want to play. These wins are massive for me, especially on my return to the tour. “The injury I had, it wasn’t like a couple of weeks – it was eight months. I missed so much competitive tennis and I do feel that. I feel a little bit off. My levels in practice are always good, but when it comes to the match court, I am definitely a bit in and out with my consistency. “But I think that is going to come the more I...

US President Donald Trump said he has told Kurdish forces not to enter the Iran war as the US and Israel continue launching strikes against Tehran. “The war is complicated enough without having – getting the Kurds involved,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Saturday on his way back to Florida after attending a military service for six fallen US soldiers. “We’re very friendly with the Kurds, as you know, but we don’t want to make the war any more complex than it already is. I have ruled that out, I don’t want the Kurds going in,” the president said. Advertisement Israel’s military had been working to open the way for Kurdish forces to take up positions in Iran’s northwest, with the ultimate aim of encouraging armed Kurds to rise up against Tehran. Trump said he has “had a good relation” with the Kurds, and they had told him they were “willing to go in” to Iran. “But we really, I’ve told them, I don’t want them to go,” he added.

Reigning champion Luke Littler moved into the quarter-finals of the UK Open with a comfortable 10-5 win over Gary Anderson, while Luke Humphries was beaten 10-6 by Danny Noppert. Having narrowly edged past Kevin Doets 10-8 in the fifth round in Saturday's afternoon session, world number one Littler raised his game on his return to the oche and sped into a 4-1 lead. Anderson momentarily looked as though he could claw his way back as he took the seventh leg against the throw. But the double world champion reimposed his authority to head the Scot 7-3 at the second break. With his opponent unable to show the form he had displayed earlier in the tournament, Littler hit double top in the 16th game to seal his progress. He will face Noppert in Sunday afternoon's quarter-finals after the Dutchman - UK Open champion four years ago - saw off world number two Humphries with relative ease.
