Bengal Energy ( BNGLF ) announced a non-brokered private placement of 43.29M common shares at a price of C$0.035 per share, totaling gross proceeds of C$1.52M. The net proceeds will support development of the Ramses property in Queensland's Cooper Basin and repay a C$1.15M demand promissory note with Texada Capital Management Ltd., issued on April 6, 2026. The offering is expected to close on or about April 30, 2026, pending necessary regulatory approvals, including from the Toronto Stock Exchange. The shares will have a hold period of four months plus a day from the closing date. W. B. (Bill) Wheeler, a director of the company, owns approximately 82.2% of the issued common shares, totaling 398.68M shares. He is interested in subscribing for 28.57M additional common shares for gross proceeds of C$1M. This transaction will be considered a "related party transaction" under Multilateral Instrument 61-101. The company plans to use exemptions from formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements under MI 61-101 because the value of shares issued to Wheeler will not exceed 25% of the company's market capitalization. Due to the anticipated closing date, the company could not file a material change report 21 days before the expected closing, as the offering details were not confirmed. More on Bengal Energy Ltd.

The department of justice has refused to hand over key evidence from the Jeffrey Epstein files and could delay Scotland Yard’s criminal inquiry. Good morning. The UK criminal investigation into Peter Mandelson has reportedly ground to a halt after the US justice department refused to hand over evidence contained in the Epstein files. The documents relate to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which Scotland Yard believes could hold key evidence related to Mandelson, who served as business secretary and US ambassador. While the Met has asked for voluntary disclosure, the US department of justice is insisting on a Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) request, a legal back and forth between countries to obtain evidence, the Telegraph has reported.

Recent market action compelled me to turn over more rocks than usual, which delayed my year-end 2025 letter into the Q1 2026 combo I present today. I hope the extra transparency provided makes it worth the wait. 2025: The rep account gained 19% net of fees in 2025, vs. 17.9% for S&P 500, 12.8% for Russell 2000, and 22.9% for MSCI ACWI; all total returns.

In this article P911-DE Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - JANUARY 06: People visit Bugatti booth during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026 on January 6, 2026 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Zhang Shuo | China News Service | Getty Images Porsche AG has agreed to sell its 45% stake in supercar brand Bugatti Rimac, fully exiting the joint venture that houses the iconic brand. Porsche and Croatian sports-car maker Rimac Group established Bugatti Rimac in 2021, with Rimac holding a 55% majority stake and Porsche taking the remaining 45%. It will sell its stake to a consortium led by New York-based venture capital firm HOF Capital, with BlueFive Capital as its largest investor. The deal comes as the automotive industry grapples with mounting pressure to consolidate amid slowing growth, rising costs and intensifying margin pressure from tariffs and geopolitical disruption. Automotive and mobility deal value rebounded last year, reaching more than $35 billion by third quarter, according to Bain & Company. Under the terms of the deal, Porsche will also divest its 20.6% stake in Rimac Group, marking a complete exit from its investment in the Croatian electric hypercar maker. Following the transaction's completion, Rimac Group will take full operational control of Bugatti Rimac and form a strategic partnership with BlueFive and HOF Capital to support the brand's growth. Shares in Frankfurt-listed Porsche dropped 1.6% in early trading on Friday. HOF Capital was co-founded by a scion of Egypt's billionaire Sawiris family. BlueFive Capital is a private equity firm led by Hazem Ben-Gacem, a former executive at alternative investment firm Investcorp. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. "As an early-stage investor of Rimac Group, Porsche made a significant contribution to developing Rimac Technology into an established Tier-1 automotive technology company," said Michael Leiters, CEO of Porsche AG. "With the sale of our stake, we are f...

Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) stock is down 30% from its record high, partly due to concerns about its valuation but also because some investors have rotated away from risky growth stocks in favor of safer assets amid economic uncertainty created by the Iran conflict. Palantir has a long history of building software for the U.S. government, especially defense and intelligence agencies. In early April, President Trump gave the data analytics company a shoutout on social media, saying, "Palantir Technologies (PLTR) has proven to have great war fighting capabilities and equipment. Just ask our enemies." Beyond praise from the president, which accompanied reports that the U.S. military is using Palantir's software to identify targets in Iran, investors recently got more good news about the company's government business. Here are the important details. Continue reading

design master/iStock via Getty Images The Calamos Global Total Return Fund ( CGO ) is a closed-end fund that aims to provide its investors with a high level of both capital appreciation and current income. The fund does reasonably well in terms of current income, as its 7.64% current yield is higher than most alternatives that investors might consider for income along with global equity exposure. Unfortunately, though, this fund’s performance against global equity indices has been rather disappointing, as it has been underperforming in recent years. With that said, though, this fund’s performance has been good enough that investors who care more about income than total return might still be willing to consider it. Its performance has also been improving in recent months, which might be an encouraging sign. The global exposure here is also nice, as foreign markets have been outperforming American ones over the past year or two, and as such, investors with foreign exposure have enjoyed greater wealth accumulation. Let us look more closely at this fund in order to determine whether or not it is worth considering for new money today. About The Calamos Global Total Return Fund The website for the Calamos Global Total Return Fund states that it has the primary objective of providing its investors with a high level of capital appreciation and current income. The fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing in what its manager describes as a “broad range of security types:” Calamos Investments This is not really surprising for a closed-end fund managed by Calamos Investments. As investors who are familiar with this fund house are likely aware, Calamos funds frequently include a combination of common equities, convertible bonds, and high-yield bonds, among other financial instruments (such as bank loans, preferred stock, and occasionally structured products). The Calamos Global Total Return Fund is no exception to this, as its website provides the following asset alloca...
