Saving for retirement can be more complicated than you'd think. On top of figuring out how much you can afford to save each month, you also need to find the right home for your retirement nest egg. For many people, a traditional IRA might read like the best choice in that regard. You can fund an IRA as long as you have earned income. Self-employed? Not a problem. IRAs were made for people like you. But if you're going to save for retirement in an IRA, there's one important thing you'll need to plan for. And failing to do so could cost you. Don't forget about RMDs If you keep your retirement nest egg in a traditional IRA, you'll eventually have to start taking required minimum distributions, or RMDs, starting at age 73 or 75 (it depends on your year of birth). RMDs are calculated each year based on your IRA balance and life expectancy. And if you don't take yours on time, it could cost you. The penalty for not taking an RMD on time is 25% of the amount you're supposed to withdraw from your IRA but don't. And if that sounds like a lot, you should know that the penalty used to be 50% but was lowered to 25% pretty recently. Now if you miss a small RMD, the financial hit may not be so terrible. A $300 skipped RMD, for example, will cost you $75. But if you have a $30,000 RMD, missing the deadline could cost you $7,500. So it's very important to understand when RMDs are due, and to plan for them ahead of time. How to avoid RMD penalties Depending on the size of your RMD, missing it could cost you thousands. So if you have a traditional IRA, it's important to know when RMDs start and what their deadlines look like. If you were born prior to 1960, RMDs begin at age 73. If you were born in 1960 or later, they start at 75. From there, all RMDs are due by Dec. 31 each year. However, you can delay your first RMD to April 1 of the year after your 73rd or 75th birthday. If you want to avoid RMD penalties, make sure to arrange for the appropriate amount of money to come out of you...

Greg Abel speaks during the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting in Omaha, Nebraska on May 3, 2025. CNBC Berkshire Hathaway said Thursday it has resumed repurchasing its own shares for the first time since 2024 and separately new CEO Greg Abel purchased $15 million worth of stock himself. The Omaha-based conglomerate disclosed in a regulatory filing that it began buying back its Class A and Class B shares on Wednesday. Berkshire's policy allows the company to repurchase stock whenever the chief executive, after consultation with the chairman of the board i.e. Warren Buffett, believes that the repurchase price is below Berkshire's intrinsic value, according to its annual report released over the weekend. Shares of Berkshire have fallen 10% from its record high from May. The stock came under pressure earlier this week after the firm reported a near 30% decline in its operating earnings for the fourth quarter, due in large part to weakness in the insurance business. In a separate filing, Abel disclosed that he personally purchased $15 million worth of the conglomerate's stock. The 62-year-old executive's purchase came a little more than two months into his tenure running the Omaha-based conglomerate. The transaction increases his personal stake in Berkshire at a time when some investors have questioned whether Buffett's successor has comparable "skin in the game." Buffett owns about 37.5% of Berkshire's Class A shares and has no intention of selling his stake aside from his charitable giving. He has previously said the conglomerate represents roughly 99.5% of his net worth. Before the latest purchase, Abel, a longtime Berkshire executive who previously oversaw the company's non-insurance operations, owned $164.4 million worth of Berkshire stock, according to FactSet. Abel has emphasized continuity with Buffett's investment philosophy since taking the helm. He used his first annual shareholder letter over the weekend to reassure investors that the conglomerate...

2026's major rotation away from U.S. tech and toward other stock market sectors should provide a good lesson for investors. Sometimes, it pays to own the whole market instead of trying to pick winners and losers. Sure, you'll end up owning some underperformers, but you'll also own the leaders. That makes the entire ride smoother and helps you capture the whole U.S. economic growth story.

Key Points Noto acquired 56,000 shares of SoFi stock this week for $1 million. The CEO now directly holds over 11.6 million shares directly. Noto's last major buy was when the stock traded in single-digits, so will the jump be similar this time? 10 stocks we like better than SoFi Technologies › SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ: SOFI) CEO Anthony Noto made headlines this week by purchasing $1 million worth of shares on the open market. While a million-dollar buy typically signals strong insider confidence, this acquisition represents just a 0.5% increase to his existing $200 million+ stake. With the stock down this year despite record Q4 2025 earnings, the move appears to be an opportunistic move. However, for investors watching the current $18 price point, Noto's willingness to put personal capital at risk is notable. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire?

India has held talks with the US to seek clarity on a proposed mechanism to provide insurance for oil tankers and other vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, according to a government official familiar with the matter. President Donald Trump said this week that the US International Development Finance Corporation would offer cover to help maintain the flow of energy and other trade in the Gulf. Oil prices have surged since the US and Israel began attacks on Iran, triggering disruptions in the region and halting oil flows via the chokepoint, through which a fifth of the world’s energy trade transit. India faces heightened risks as about 40% of its crude imports pass through the narrow Persian Gulf route. Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd., a unit of state-run Oil and Natural Gas Corp. , has closed a crude distillation unit due to shortages. To manage the situation, India is in talks with global state-owned oil companies and traders for the purchase of crude and liquefied petroleum gas from their international stockpiles that do not flow via the Strait of Hormuz, said the official, who asked not to be identified due to the sensitivity of the matter. Despite the setback, crude and refined product inventories remain comfortable and there is no need to halt fuel exports as of now, the official said. The impact is also being felt in the gas market. Liquefied natural gas supplies have been disrupted after QatarEnergy halted operations at its Ras Laffan facility — the world’s largest LNG export plant — following Iranian drone strikes. India meets about half of its gas demand through imports, with Qatar accounting for roughly half of those shipments. To plug the gap, the world’s fourth-largest LNG importer is seeking volumes of the supercooled fuel from alternative sources, the official said. It will also reprioritize sales of locally produced gas to industrial consumers, the official said, without elaborating. As per the existing policy, households, automobiles, ...

从注重“力度”转向重视“精度”、从注重“总量”转向重视“结构”。 今年政府工作报告提出，继续实施适度宽松的货币政策。把促进经济稳定增长、物价合理回升作为货币政策的重要考量。 在稳增长、稳物价、扩大内需和强化货币财政协同的大方向下，支持性的货币政策立场不变，将为实体经济高质量发展创造适宜的货币金融环境。具体实施路径上，市场有望迎来结构性工具扩容、降准降息落地以及通过挤掉中间费用等方式降低融资隐性成本，让经营主体切实感受融资成本下行。 招联首席经济学家、上海金融与发展实验室副主任董希淼认为，政府工作报告中关于货币政策表述的变化是基于对当前经济形势的精准判断，透露出货币政策从注重“力度”转向重视“精度”、从注重“总量”转向重视“结构”等信号。 结构性工具扩容 适度宽松货币政策的重点之一在于结构性工具的扩容。 与去年不同的是，今年货币政策对结构性工具的重视程度上升，在强调优化创新结构性货币政策工具的同时，要适当增加规模，完善实施方式，对重点领域和薄弱环节的支持力度不减。 广开首席产业研究院首席金融研究员王运金认为，这意味着结构性工具今年将继续扩容。 “适当增加规模是明确的加量信号。”董希淼表示，结构性工具从“发挥作用”到“加量提质”，央行将向特定领域（如科创、消费、小微企业）注入更多低成本长期资金，有可能进一步扩大科技创新再贷款的额度。 目前，我国结构性货币政策工具种类多、覆盖面广。1月，央行已先行出台结构性降息等8项政策，部分进行了额度扩容与工具创新，包括将支农支小再贷款与再贴现打通使用，增加额度、单设民营企业再贷款等，提高结构性工具吸引力、强化精准滴灌，提升政策工具的支持精准度和使用效率。 王运金认为，今年央行可能还会考虑下调再贷款利率0.2~0.4个百分点，进一步增强结构性工具在支持经济结构优化升级、改善民生、稳定投资等方面的积极作用，加力支持扩大内需、科技创新、中小微企业等重点领域。 “完善实施方式”是“提质”的要求。董希淼认为，此举旨在优化工具设计，让资金更顺畅地直达末端，避免资金空转或中途滞留，提升资金使用效率。 中国民生银行首席经济学家温彬预计，后续还将通过优化信贷方式、强化货币财政协同等方式，充分发挥数据要素、知识产权等无形资产作用，强化考核评估、融资担保、风险补偿等支持措施，引导金融机构加力支持扩大内需、科技创新、中小微企业等重点领域。 总量工具不搞“大水...

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Shares of Ciena ( CIEN ) fell about 3% premarket on Thursday despite fiscal first quarter results beating estimates and the company raising its fiscal full year 2026 revenue outlook. The networking systems provider saw fiscal first-quarter revenue grow 33% year-over-year to $1.43B, while adjusted EPS surged 111% year-over-year to $1.35. Both top and bottom line numbers beat estimates. "We delivered a very strong fiscal first quarter, driven by focused execution and unprecedented, broad-based demand as we enable customers to monetize their AI investments," said Ciena's President and CEO Gary Smith. "We are investing and executing to deliver long‑term value for our shareholders and to support the full range of high‑speed connectivity needs for our customers." The company said three customers represented 10%-plus of revenue for a total of 47.4% of revenue. Ciena noted that in the first quarter it bought back about 0.4M common shares for around $80.5M under its $1B share repurchase program. Outlook "With a historically strong order book and record Q1 backlog, we are poised to deliver strong results, supported by durable demand, through 2026 and into 2027," said CFO Marc Graff. Ciena expects fiscal second quarter 2026 revenue to be in the range of $1.5B plus or minus $50M, versus a consensus revenue estimate of $1.44B. The company expects an adjusted (non-GAAP) operating margin between 17.5% and 18.5%. Ciena forecasted an adjusted (non-GAAP) gross margin between 43.5% and 44.5%. For the full fiscal year 2026, the company now anticipates revenue to be between $5.9B and $6.3B (midpoint at $6.1B), versus a prior forecast of $5.7B to $6.1B (midpoint at $5.9B). The consensus revenue estimate is $5.96B.

mustafaU Rigetti Computing ( RGTI ) shares slid more than 4% in premarket trading as Wall Street analysts weighed in on the quantum computing company's fourth-quarter results and technical updates. Jefferies analyst Kevin Garrigan said that while revenue was a “touch light” compared to what Wall Street was expecting, Rigetti's management pointed to a “sharp” step-up in the coming quarter, based on Novera system sales. “We’re encouraged by the early system-sales cadence building into 2026, including two Novera on‑prem deliveries in 1H26, a Novera QPU sale to a Japanese research organization (shipping in April and rev‑rec in Q2), and the $8.4M 108‑qubit C‑DAC system slated for 2H26,” Garrigan wrote in a note to clients. “On the technology side, the story continues to develop, with RGTI showing meaningful progress in both speed and error rates, including strong two‑qubit fidelity results using its proprietary adiabatic CZ scheme at 28ns, alongside continued improvements across the QPU portfolio. Importantly, management reiterated its timeline to deploy the 108‑qubit system by the end of March, and we view that delivery as the near-term tell that underwrites the next legs of the roadmap (>150 qubits by end‑2026 and >1,000 qubits by end‑2027).” Garrigan reiterated his Hold rating on Rigetti and lowered his price target to $20 from $30. Needham analyst N. Quinn Bolton also lowered his price target on Rigetti following the results, cutting it to $31 from $51, due to multiple compression in the sector. Nonetheless, Bolton took some confidence from management's upbeat tone for the rest of 2026. “In September 2025, the company received ~$5.7MM for two of its 9-qubit Novera QPU systems. Rigetti expects to recognize slightly less than half of the total amount in 1Q26, with the remainder in 2Q26,” Bolton explained. “Management noted these two system sales will carry lower GM as a dilution fridge is included in the delivery. Revenue from the 9-qubit Novera QPU sale to the Japan-b...

Astera Labs is among the best-positioned companies to benefit from increasing artificial intelligence builds, according to Loop Capital. The investment firm initiated the semiconductor manufacturer with a buy rating and $250 price target, implying upside of 120% from Wednesday's close. The semiconductor stock has slipped 32% this year but is still trading 66% higher over the past 12 months. ALAB 1Y mountain ALAB 1Y chart Loop analyst Ananda Baruah called Astera " the company most representing a diversified AI silicon 'pure play'" outside of Nvidia. The analyst sees the stock as a beneficiary of an AI "super cycle." Baruah said that Amazon Web Services' usage targets for its Tranium 3 and 4 chips may be materially stronger than the market is appreciating. Amazon remains Astera Lab's largest customer and is the driver of its lucrative Scorpio platform, he wrote. Artificial intelligence builds also remain larger than what is currently appreciated, the analyst added. "ALAB has opportunity across essentially all Gen AI silicon flavors (GPU, Tranium, TPU and the other XPUs) with solutions that address the most critical 'pain points' inside the AI Server & Cluster experience. As servers and clusters become larger and more sophisticated (i.e. increasingly complex), ALAB becomes more both critical and valuable," Baruah wrote. "We view ALAB as a Best of Breed 'AI-Server Complexity' company at the very front end of numerous material tailwinds. While there is strong competition and ongoing innovation all manifesting simultaneously at an increasing rate, we believe ALAB is among the group of companies charting out leadership positions at the intersection of key AI infrastructure trends," he said. Baruah also wrote that there may be a pathway to additional revenue upside levels from here, notably due to stronger Nvidia graphics processing units and overall AI accelerator shipments.
