Let me let you in on a little secret: Amazon’s kid-friendly e-readers are a better deal than the standard models. Each so-called “Kids” device is identical to its non-Kids counterpart, except that it comes with a protective case, an extended two-year warranty against damage, and six months of Amazon Kids Plus. They also include optional parental controls and exclude ads, letting you skip the $20 upcharge Amazon typically requires to remove its pesky lockscreen notices. Thankfully, there are three Kids models to choose from, all of which are discounted right now. The one we’d recommend for most people, the Kindle Paperwhite Kids , is currently on sale for $149.99 ($30 off) at Amazon and Best Buy , which is the lowest price we’ve seen since last year. The entry-level Kindle Kids , meanwhile, is down to $109.99 ($20 off) at Amazon and Best Buy , while the Colorsoft Kids can be had for $219.99 ($50 off) at Amazon and Best Buy for a limited time. Kindle Paperwhite Kids (2024) Where to Buy: $179.99 $149.99 at Amazon $179.99 $149.99 at Best Buy $179.99 $149.99 at Target The differences between the three models aren’t massive, but they’re worth flagging. All three e-readers feature a crisp 300ppi display, weekslong battery life, and 16GB of storage, which should allow you to store thousands of Kindle books. However, with the Paperwhite and Colorsoft Kids, you also get a slightly larger 7-inch display, IPX8 waterproofing, and adjustable warm lighting. The latter Kindle also uses the same color E Ink tech as e-readers like the Kobo Libra Colour, allowing you to view monochrome or color content (at 150ppi). Having used the Colorsoft Kids on several occasions, I wouldn’t say it’s going to be a must-have upgrade for most folks. Then again, if you love magazines, graphic novels, or a good book cover, it’s the best color e-reader in its price range — and that’s without a $50 discount.

Polymarket bettors with more than $115 million on the line are stuck waiting for a definitive answer to the question: Was Ayatollah Ali Khamenei “out” as supreme leader of Iran by Feb. 28? With the Iran war now in its fourth day, the prediction markets platform has still not paid out users who took either the “yes” or “no” side of that proposition. Attempts to resolve the contract have faced pushback, with payouts on hold as traders wrangle over the attack timeline in a last-ditch effort to protect profits. Traders had been betting on the Khamenei contract since mid-January, with Polymarket’s rules stating that Khamenei would be considered “out” if he was “removed from power for any length of time” before Feb. 28 at 11:59 p.m. ET. US-Israeli strikes on Iran began early the same day. By afternoon on the US east coast, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had said there were growing indications that Khamenei had been killed. Trump declared later on Feb. 28 that Khamenei was dead. Iranian officials initially denied the reports, but state media confirmed his death on March 1. The dispute underscores a persistent problem in prediction markets: contracts are written for black and white outcomes, but the real world isn’t always that simple. When the question is whether a leader lost power by a specific date, the answer may depend on which government you trust and what time zone you’re counting in. Prediction markets have soared in popularity in recent years, handling billions of dollars in bets each week on everything from geopolitical turmoil to who’ll win big at the Oscars. Wall Street heavyweights like Intercontinental Exchange Inc. have sought to utilize data from such markets to help clients make trading decisions. On Polymarket, anyone can propose how a market should resolve by posting a small amount of collateral. If there’s a disagreement, another user can dispute the outcome. The matter is then put to a vote among holders of a cryptocurrency called UMA, with ...

Investing.com -- Nvidia’s result last week challenges concerns that growth would slow under the weight of its own size. The company posted better-than-expected results for the January quarter and forecast current-quarter revenue above market estimates, with first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue guidance of $78 billion. Robust fourth-quarter data center sales, both sequentially and year over year, was notable given Nvidia’s scale. “We'd call out FQ1'27 sales guidance ($78B) in particular as being the highlight of the call, given we believe this outlook was well in excess of prior buy-side expectations,” Wedbush analysts said. Day after Nvidia’s earnings, Wedbush raised its price target by $70 to $300. The shares are valued at about 30 times its fiscal 2028 earnings estimate of $9.97 per share, plus $2.21 per share in net cash. Supply chain commitments that rose to $95.2 billion from $50.3 billion in the prior quarter, giving Nvidia visibility into shipments through calendar 2027. Wedbush said the company moved early to secure constrained components such as memory, creating an advantage it expects to persist at least through this year. Networking revenue also continued to grow faster than GPUs, helped by higher NVLink content and broader adoption of Nvidia’s full-stack offerings, including switching products, particularly in new data centers beyond large cloud service providers. United States has approved a limited number of H200 shipments to China, but China has not yet cleared imports of the product. The brokerage said Nvidia’s performance is more striking given it has not fully returned to the world’s second-largest market, leaving potential upside if shipments resume. Wedbush said the results as a positive signal for TSMC, saying AI demand for advanced processes remains intact, and for the broader hardware and components complex tied to data center spending.

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) experienced a downward movement in its share price today amidst significant intraday volatility. This decline appears to be primarily influenced by a combination of factors including recent financial guidance, broader market sentiment towards the technology sector, and emerging geopolitical concerns. Despite reporting robust fourth-quarter 2025 earnings and revenue that surpassed analyst expectations, the company's first-quarter 2026 revenue outlook projected a sequential decrease. This forward-looking guidance, even while indicating strong year-over-year growth, likely contributed to investor apprehension, especially within an environment where sentiment for technology stocks has shown some weakness. Concerns about a potential global memory shortage impacting the personal computer market and a softening in the gaming and console segments have also been noted, potentially affecting future revenue streams in these areas. Moreover, reports regarding potential new US restrictions on advanced artificial intelligence chip exports to China are exerting pressure on the stock. This geopolitical risk introduces uncertainty for AMD, given its significant advancements and focus on the data center AI market, which includes sales to China. Although the company recently unveiled an expanded portfolio of AI-enabled Ryzen processors for desktop systems at a major industry event, the market's reaction suggests a focus on the timeline for these innovations to translate into substantial revenue growth, with some analysts indicating that a larger impact from key data center product shipments may materialize in the latter half of the current year. While analyst consensus ratings remain largely positive for AMD, some recent price target adjustments reflect a tempered near-term outlook due to the aforementioned factors, even as long-term prospects tied to artificial intelligence and data center growth are viewed favorably. Macroeconomic indicators, such as mod...

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Apple (AAPL, Financials) unveiled a new generation of MacBook laptops, with prices starting at $1,099, as the company seeks to drive hardware demand in a global PC market facing slowing growth and memory chip shortages. The new range has new versions of the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. The 13-inch MacBook Air costs $1,099, while the MacBook Pro with the M5 Pro CPU costs $2,199. Apple's Mac business makes less money than the iPhone, but it is still crucial for education, the creative sectors, and high-end consumer markets. Apple has focused on improving speed and battery life to set its devices apart from Windows-based competition since switching from Intel CPUs to its own M-series chips in 2020. The latest launch continues Apple's push to strengthen its custom silicon ecosystem and support demand in higher-margin computing categories. Investors will probably look at the next quarterly results to see if the new lineup will make up for the overall decline in the PC industry.

On Instamart, we’ve seen sharp week-on-week spikes across categories, with premium water guns surging nearly 36 times, and water balloons over 44 times, showing that consumers are going all-in on play,” a company spokesperson said, adding that demand for Holi colours grew nearly 33 times, while festive staples like gujiya and thandai also saw a rise in sales. Amazon, too, reported strong festive momentum across qcom and e-commerce verticals. On qcom sales, it said, “Through Amazon Now we are delivering thousands of last-minute Holi essentials to customers across parts of Delhi NCR, Mumbai and Bangalore within minutes. From water balloons and gulaal to water guns and pichkaris along with festive favourites like gujiya, customers are relying on fast and convenient deliveries along with special offers this Holi.” On the e-commerce side, the platform said the demand for gulaal grew 1.2 times, water balloons rose 1.4 times, water pistols grew 1.3 times, photo booth props were up 1.5 times, ice creams and chocolates saw a 1.3 times uptick and colourful wigs saw a 1.2 times rise. It added that the sale of cow dung cakes for Holika Dahan increased 1.5 times year-on-year. Betting big on festival-driven demand, almost all players had launched Holi-specific categories featuring kurtas, colours, snacks, and personal care products, combining targeted assortments with promotional discounts to boost order volumes.

Spiderstock/E+ via Getty Images Company Background Global Ship Lease, Inc. ( GSL ) was founded in 2007 and is headquartered in London. It is a top-tier provider of chartered containerships to the world’s leading shipping liner companies, like Maersk ( AMKBY ), Hapag-Lloyd ( HPGLY ), CMA CGM, MSC, Zim Integrated Shipping ( ZIM ), and Cosco/OOCL ( CICOY ). Its main competitors would include Seaspan, Costamare ( CMRE ), and Danaos ( DAC ), but it is sufficiently differentiated to serve a particular market niche, which is in leasing small and mid-size container ships (from approximately 2,200 – 11,000 TEU) on short contracts (average duration 2.5 years). Note: TEU stands for twenty-foot equivalent unit, which is the standard unit of measurement for container ships. 2 TEU equals 1 standard 40-foot container. Data from company sources The largest containerships can be as big as 24,000 TEU, but GSL’s biggest is the CMA CGM Thalassa (11,040 TEU). GSL owns a fleet of around 70 ships, for which it receives regular payments from shipping liner companies who lease/charter them. The short contract length (avg. 2.5 years) suits liners that require some flexibility to navigate the often (and increasingly) volatile global freight market. For the liners (GSL’s customers), while owning the containerships themselves might seem like the most economical option, this “asset-heavy” business model creates some risk during periods of declining freight volume. The cyclicality in global shipping therefore demands that these companies maintain some flexibility and optionality in their business model, which is where GSL comes in. They fulfil this demand and provide for their customers that want at least some of their business to be operated through ships that are leased rather than owned outright. GSL has a customer mix of the world’s largest and best-known liner shipping companies, as seen below.

With 30 people inside the neighbourhood bomb shelter on Sunday afternoon, and sirens wailing outside, Oren Katz went to close the reinforced door. It was an act of generosity that was typical of the father of four, and it would cost him his life. As he reached the entrance, the shelter took a direct hit from an Iranian missile. “Even when you were in trouble, you would say give, and that giving cost you your life,” his wife, Samadi, said in a tribute at his funeral. “You went upstairs to close the shelter and it took a heavy toll. I can’t digest it,” the ynet news site quoted her saying. Katz was one of nine victims, four of them teenage children, killed in the deadliest attack Israel has sustained since it joined the US in attacking Iran on Saturday.

Photograph: Quique Kierszenbaum/The Guardian The Biton family lost three children, 13-year-old Sarah, 15-year-old Avigail and their brother Yaakov, 16, who are survived by their parents and one sibling. The other boy killed was 16-year-old Gabriel Baruch Revah, Israeli media reported. The force of the explosion entirely destroyed a synagogue that had stood over the shelter and left the thick, protective roof caved in. Astonishingly much of the structure withstood the force of the blast, despite its age and the intensity of the strike, said an officer who led the search and rescue mission. “Even with the very severe impact that was here, and the price that was paid in this attack, the vast majority of people that were in the bomb shelter came out of it alive,” Lt Col Oded Revivi said at the site. “In the bomb shelter there were over 30 people, two are dead, one is injured and 28 people came out alive,” said Revivi, adding that seven people were killed outside the shelter. The toll matched the worst single attack of the 12-day war with Iran last June, when another missile hit an apartment block in Bat Yam near Tel Aviv. In additi...

A Canadian gold mining company sued Peru in the US as part of efforts to collect around $69 million it was awarded over violent protests that halted operations at one of its mines in the South American nation. Lupaka Gold Corp. won the award, which includes interest, last year in an arbitration proceeding that found the Peruvian government failed to stop the protests by rural communities at the company’s Invicta mine. The suit filed Feb. 27 in federal court in Washington seeks to have a US judge confirm the award. “Lupaka is confident that it will soon be able to begin attaching Peruvian assets anywhere within the United States,” the company said in a Monday statement announcing the lawsuit. Peru’s finance ministry, which represents Peru in disputes against international investors, had no immediate comment. Read More: Gold Miner Plots Peru Asset Seizure Over Unpaid Arbitration The lawsuit is at least the second one in recent years against Peru over unpaid arbitration awards, as the nation faces an increasing number of disputes with international investors. Lupaka’s move appears to follow in the footsteps of airport construction conglomerate Kuntur Wasi, which was paid $91 million shortly after a US court confirmed an arbitration award in its favor. Peru did not present lawyers to defend itself in that lawsuit. “The mining industry will undoubtedly take note of Peru’s refusal to comply with its obligations under international law when making investment decisions,” Lupaka Chairman Gordon Ellis said in a statement . Carlos Jose Valderrama, a former head of Sicreci, the Peruvian commission that handles arbitration cases, said the case could offer a road map for other foreign companies whose operations are beset by protests. Peru is also facing a high-profile dispute with Brookfield Asset Management , which has filed a $2.7 billion arbitration alleging that the city of Lima improperly expropriated a series of toll roads it managed under a concession.

Amazon said drones struck three of its Middle East data centers, causing outages related to the "ongoing conflict in the Middle East." Drones directly struck two Amazon Web Services facilities in the United Arab Emirates, and a drone strike near an Amazon data center in Bahrain also damaged that facility, the company said in a post on Monday on AWS's health dashboard. "These strikes have caused structural damage, disrupted power delivery to our infrastructure, and in some cases required fire suppression activities that resulted in additional water damage," AWS said. Operations in the Middle East remain "significantly impaired," AWS said, noting that "customers are experiencing elevated error rates and degraded availability for services." Amazon said it is working to restore services and repair physical damage to its facilities, while cautioning that the "broader operating environment in the Middle East remains unpredictable." The company encouraged its customers in the Middle East to back up data and consider migrating workloads to servers in other regions. Shares of Amazon declined $3.40, or 1.6%, to $204.99 in early trading.

Rob Kim New York Fed President John Williams sees an argument for further rate cuts if inflation follows his inflation projections, he said on Tuesday. "Monetary policy is currently well positioned to support the stabilization of the labor market and return inflation to our 2% goal," he said in a speech at the America's Credit Unions Government Affairs Conference. "Looking further ahead, if inflation follows the path I expect, further reductions in the federal funds rate will eventually be warranted to prevent monetary policy from inadvertently becoming more restrictive." On the employment side of the Fed's mandate, "there have been promising signs of stabilization" in recent months, he said. The unemployment rate of 4.3% in January has returned to where it was in July 2025. Moreover, the New York Fed's Labor Tightness Index has stabilized recently, he said. Looking to the Fed's price stability mandate, tariffs haven't sparked persistent inflation, he said. He estimates that tariffs have contributed about one-half to three-quarters of a percentage point to the current inflation rate of ~3%. But he sees three encouraging trends on inflation. First, "there are no signs of significant second-round effects from tariffs," he said. Secondly, no global supply chain bottlenecks have emerged. Lastly, most survey- and market-based measures of inflation expectations are at levels consistent with the Federal Open Market Committee's 2% goal. "Taking all of that into account, I expect we will see some additional pass-through of tariffs into consumer prices during the first half of this year," Williams said. "Given the lack of second-round effects and well-anchored inflation expectations, I expect the tariffs largely to have one-off effects on prices." On that basis, he expects inflation to start receding later this year, once the peak effect of tariffs on the inflation rate has passed. For the overall U.S. economy, Williams expects real GDP growth of ~2.5% this year, helped by fi...

New York, March 3, 2026, 10:12 EST — Regular session Micron dropped roughly 6% during the morning session, trailing behind a handful of the bigger chipmakers. Customer samples of a 256GB low-power server memory module—built for AI data centers—are now out the door, the company said. With energy prices jumping on Middle East tensions and inflation concerns not letting up, traders have their eyes on Micron’s results coming up March 18. Micron Technology (MU) slipped 6.3% to $386.78 as of 10:12 a.m. EST on Tuesday. The stock had dropped as low as $379.67 earlier in the session. Investors pulled back from both stocks and bonds, trimming exposure after energy prices surged, stoking inflation worries and muddying the rate picture once again. Reuters “These are uncomfortable days for risk takers, and for now, energy is king,” said Kathleen Brooks, research director at XTB. She singled out rising fuel costs and shipping snags as markets struggled to gauge what comes next. Kitco Oil took the spotlight again. Brent crude surged roughly 7%, landing at $83.44 a barrel after touching a 19-month peak. The U.S.-Israeli standoff with Iran has turned up the heat on supply fears, diverting tanker routes away from the Strait of Hormuz—one of the world’s most critical energy corridors. Reuters Micron announced it has started shipping customer samples of its 256GB LPDRAM module, using the SOCAMM2 server format. The company claims this low-power DRAM design consumes less power than typical RDIMMs found in servers. “Micron’s 256GB SOCAMM2 offering enables the most power-efficient CPU-attached memory solution for both AI and HPC,” said Raj Narasimhan, a senior vice president overseeing Micron’s Cloud Memory business. Nvidia’s Ian Finder added that the module “is enabling the next generation of AI CPUs.” Micron Technology But there was another storyline for chip stocks.
