The US government has imposed sanctions on a Cambodian senator alleging he is at the heart of a sprawling scam network, as the Southeast Asian nation comes under intense pressure – including from China – to eliminate a cybercrime industry worth nearly US$20 billion a year. The US Treasury tagged Senator Kok An, a tycoon with close ties to former leader Hun Sen whose son is now prime minister, and 28 other associates as “specially designated nationals” suspected of controlling “scam compounds...

Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News President Donald Trump suggested that the U.S. government may buy Spirit Airlines ( FLYYQ ), amid discussions for a possible rescue package for the troubled discount airline. "We're thinking about doing it, helping them out, meaning bailing them out, or buying it," Trump told reporters at the White House. "I think we'd just buy it. I'd love to be able to save thos...
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News President Donald Trump suggested that the U.S. government may buy Spirit Airlines ( FLYYQ ), amid discussions for a possible rescue package for the troubled discount airline. "We're thinking about doing it, helping them out, meaning bailing them out, or buying it," Trump told reporters at the White House. "I think we'd just buy it. I'd love to be able to save those jobs. I'd love to be able to save an airline." "They have some good aircraft and good assets, and when the prices of oil go down, we'll sell it for a profit," he added. "We are grateful for President Trump's support and look forward to continuing to work with him and his Administration on a solution that protects thousands of jobs, preserves and enhances competition, and helps ensure Americans continue to have access to affordable fares," Spirit ( FLYYQ ) CEO Dave Davis said. The airline is reportedly in talks for a $500M loan that could potentially give the government a 90% stake in the company. Spirit ( FLYYQ ) has been struggling to emerge from its second bankruptcy in under two years, driven by mounting losses. The Iran war and the resulting surge in jet fuel prices only made things worse. Marshall Huebner, an attorney for Spirit ( FLYYQ ), said during a bankruptcy hearing on Thursday that the company was in advanced talks with the government on a potential deal. "The financing offered to us by the federal government would do far more than make this reorganization possible," Huebner said. "It would create an appropriately capitalized, fierce competitor in the airline space." But there is some skepticism over the bailout. "What we don't want to do is put good money after bad, and there's been a lot of money thrown at Spirit, and they haven't found their way into profitability," Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy told Reuters . "And so would we just forestall the inevitable and then own that?" More on Spirit Aviation Wall Street Lunch: Spirit Airlines Surges...
There's an infrastructure metaphor that never gets old in investing: During a gold rush, you don't need to find the gold to get rich. You just need to sell the picks and shovels.

There's an infrastructure metaphor that never gets old in investing: During a gold rush, you don't need to find the gold to get rich. You just need to sell the picks and shovels. The artificial intelligence (AI) gold rush has one version of this that is even more literal than most investors realize, and it runs on light. Lumentum Holdings (NASDAQ: LITE) makes components that convert electrical signals in AI data centers into optical signals, and right now, that capability may be more strategically important than ever. The stock has also been on a tear -- it's up nearly 420% over the last six months. I'm generally a skeptic of stocks everyone loves right now, but I don't think it's too late to buy into this one.
