gdinMika/E+ via Getty Images I thought RF Industries ( RFIL ) was worth a second look as I researched it, because this stock seems uninteresting at first. For starters, it’s a small company that designs and makes interconnected products . RF Industries sells products that enable communication and industrial systems to operate in the background, like cable assemblies, connectors, custom wiring, small cell systems, and cooling products. It mostly means making the hardware that keeps networks and other infrastructure running. It may not sound very interesting, but companies that do this can still be good investments because these things are foundational. Nobody can live without having their smartphones nearby, and as the world moves towards globalization, it's companies like these that don’t really have the spotlight, and I think that’s where value truly lies. Fiscal 2025 was a much better year for the company. Revenue grew by 24.2% to reach $80.6 million, gross margin rose by 29.1% to 33.2%, and the operating income recorded a gain after being negative last year. I believe that a Buy rating for RFIL stock can be justified by the fact that it has been improving, and more to the point, I continue to believe that the stock is undervalued. My opinion is anchored on three factors: that margins are improving, there seems to be expansion in the demand over products and end markets, and the current valuation does not completely reflect the business recovery to steady profitability. What the Business Does RF Industries Products (RF Industries Website) RF Industries sells hardware that helps networks and other systems connect and operate , which includes cable assemblies, RF connectors, wiring harnesses, fiber-related products, small-cell systems, and cooling products. I believe that the product mix of RF Industries’ products is important, as it is not limited to a single level of the connectivity stack. As indicated in the 10-K , the company does not just fit into a single, sm...

Readers respond to an article by Gaby Hinsliff in which she questions whether the Southport killer’s parents share responsibility for his crime I read Gaby Hinsliff’s article regarding the culpability of Axel Rudakubana’s parents with a sinking heart ( Are Axel Rudakubana’s parents responsible for his terrible crime? It’s a question many families will fear to answer, 17 April ). I’m no apologist for the parents, but I’m a lawyer working in the field of mental health and frequently appear before the court of protection in complex cases where we try to balance the need to protect and respect people with complex mental health needs and balance their rights against the rights of the public. It’s not an easy task and the reality is that there isn’t much scope, nor appetite, for taking people into custody who have not yet, and may never, commit a crime. Continue reading...

Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG) is the dominant manufacturer of robotic surgical systems. The healthcare company's da Vinci Xi, designed for soft-tissue operations, is the most widely used multiport robotic surgery system in the world, and it was used in more than 3 million surgical procedures last year. However, the stock has fallen more than 17% so far this year. The biggest concern for investors is that the company's moat, while wide, isn't impenetrable. Johnson & Johnson and Medtronic have expanded into robotic surgery, and Restore Robotics, a private company, has received Food and Drug Administration clearances for four alternative da Vinci-compatible tools. Here are three reasons an investment in medical device maker Intuitive Surgical could make you rich in the coming decade, despite increased competition. Continue reading

With trillions of dollars in assets under management and an operating history that started in 1975, Vanguard is undoubtedly a leading force in the investment industry. It offers numerous low-cost products that allow investors to gain passive exposure to the stock market. These exchange-traded funds (ETFs) can focus on different sectors, geographies, or asset classes. One of the most popular ETFs is the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF . As the name suggests, it tracks the performance of the S&P 500 index, the most closely watched stock market barometer. Another highly regarded choice is the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF , which tracks the performance of the entire U.S. market. This not only includes large-caps but also small-caps and mid-caps.

The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) hit a fresh record high on Wednesday, April 15, capping off a spectacular recovery from its recent 9% peak-to-trough decline. Investor sentiment turned positive after the U.S. and Iran reached a ceasefire agreement on April 8, leading to the eventual reopening of the critical Strait of Hormuz waterway which handles 25% of the world's seaborne oil supply every day. These positive developments alleviated fears of a global energy shortage, which initially threatened to reignite inflation and dent corporate earnings. But the situation is far from over, because Iran once again restricted commercial vessels from transiting the Strait this weekend, pending further negotiations with the U.S. As a result, it's unclear whether the recent stock market highs will hold. The Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT: VOO) is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that directly tracks the performance of the S&P 500 by holding the same stocks and maintaining similar weightings. Should investors buy it following the index's spectacular recovery? Read on for the surprising answer. Continue reading

Ethnicity, culture and access continue to shape who is believed, how quickly, and with what outcome, says Vanessa Haye I welcome the relaunched women’s health strategy ( Streeting relaunches women’s health strategy to tackle ‘medical misogyny’, 14 April ) but with caution.

It names urgent issues many women have long experienced: navigating the gynaecology referral queue that would stretch over 191 miles (if waiting in person), medical gaslighting, delayed diagnoses and systemic bias.

Warrantless Surveillance Fight Again Ignites Massie vs. Trump Showdown Via The Libertarian Institute President Donald Trump said Congress must extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) even if it means giving up “rights and privileges.” Section 702 allows for the collection of Americans’ data without a warrant. In a post on Truth Social, Trump urged House Republicans to reject any amendments to the legislation that would extend Section 702. “I am asking Republicans to UNIFY, and vote together on the test vote to bring a clean Bill to the floor,” he wrote . “We need to stick together when this Bill comes before the House Rules Committee today to keep it CLEAN!” Republican Congressman Thomas Massie attempted to introduce three amendments to the legislation that would have required law enforcement to obtain a warrant before collecting Americans’ data. His amendments were rejected. Trump argued that he and Americans should be willing to sacrifice their 4th Amendment right to privacy in exchange for security. "While parts of FISA were illegally and unfortunately used against me in the Democrats’ disgraceful Witch Hunt and Attack in the RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA Hoax, and perhaps would be used against me in the future, I am willing to risk the giving up of my Rights and Privileges as a Citizen for our Great Military and Country!" He added, "Our Military Patriots desperately need FISA 702, and it is one of the reasons we have had such tremendous SUCCESS on the battlefield." Congress last voted to extend Section 702 in 2024. If Congress does not pass a new extension, the government’s Section 702 powers will expire on Monday. The House is currently considering an 18-month extension. Last night between midnight and 2am, they tried to pass two bad versions of FISA… Both would have allowed Feds to unconstitutionally spy on Americans. We stopped both versions, but the fight isn’t over. Eventually, it was decided to give them two more weeks to fix FISA. ...

Baby boomer Caroline Stone is dismayed at the rise of tradwife influencers, whose advice was followed for a month by the Guardian’s Lucy Knight I very much enjoyed Lucy Knight’s article ( My month in the tradwife world: ‘I can’t pretend I’m not enjoying myself at all’ , 15 April). As a boomer with children and grandchildren, I have no trouble appreciating the very poor hand the young people of today have been dealt and the reason that gingham, herb gardens and sourdough are a comforting fantasy. However, I think it is high time to draw readers’ attention to Sue Kaufman’s very funny and terrifyingly relevant Diary of a Mad Housewife to warn of the dangers of the tradwife ideal. I would also like to put on record, since my generation is constantly reviled, that when we marched to Aldermaston, campaigned against the death penalty and the incarceration of homosexuals, demanded equal rights (abortion, mortgage without a male backer, etc) and pay for women, tried to persuade the world about ecological issues and the need for recycling (I vividly remember having a rubbish bin tipped over my head by an angry eco-sceptic), demonstrated again, this time against the Vietnam war and later the Iraq war, and are now being arrested for objecting to genocide, we were not trying to create a world in which the young needed to take refuge in tradwife fantasies, from a dismal present and hopeless future. It is regrettable that we failed, but we tried. Caroline Stone Seville, Spain Continue reading...

Buying habits | Trump’s messiah complex | Team Pope Leo XIV | Leaning towers | Mandelson vetting I sympathise with people mourning the demise of once‑loved stores and the pitiful state of their high streets ( Wildings in Newport, Wales: the grand department store that became an illicit cannabis farm, 16 April ). This is not the fault of the government, but rather a result of changing consumer habits. Perhaps we are all guilty. These shops are not charities, there to adorn the public realm. They are businesses and if people don’t shop there they will close. All that any government – national or local – can do is to help a well-designed shrinking of the retail estate by encouraging changes of use. Gillian Williamson London • The weirdest aspect of Donald Trump’s messiah complex cartoon ( Trump deletes post with AI image of himself as Jesus-like figure after outcry, 13 April ) is that the increasingly deranged, thin-skinned president appears to be trying to cure his long-time, eminently sane and extremely funny critic Jon Stewart.

There was a moment early in the second half when Morgan Gibbs-White, asked to move left from his favoured No10 position as Nottingham Forest reshaped in a bid to get back into a game Burnley were winning, mistimed his swivel so badly, with a clear sight of goal, that the ball looped harmlessly behind, like a balloon at a child’s party. “You’re going down with the Burnley,” sang the travelling fans gleefully in the Bridgford Stand, as they treasured the rare lead Zian Flemming’s first-half added-time goal had given them.

Duncan_Andison/iStock via Getty Images When Wells Fargo ( WFC ) decided to exit as lender for Bilt’s rent-rewards credit card, the fintech turned to private-credit investors after failing to secure another major bank partner. In February, Bilt arranged a deal to transfer about $1.2 billion in card balances with backing from a group that included Blue Owl Capital ( OWL ), Stone Point Capital, Goldman Sachs ( GS ) and TD, The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter. The agreement also included funding for future balances expected from Bilt cardholders. The transaction highlights how private credit is rapidly expanding into consumer lending. Private-credit funds held roughly $350 billion in consumer-loan balances last year, up from less than $200 billion in 2019, according to Jefferies estimates. Increasingly, investors are using “forward-flow” deals, where they agree to buy loans that haven't yet been originated. These arrangements are becoming common across consumer finance. Harley-Davidson ( HOG ) sells much of its motorcycle loan production to firms including KKR and Pimco. Similar funding structures are being used by Affirm ( AFRM ), Sallie Mae ( SLM ) and Octane Lending. For fintechs and other nonbank lenders, the appeal is clear: they can keep making loans without tying up large amounts of capital on their own balance sheets. Still, risks remain. Some investors worry inflation, slower wage growth and a softer job market could weaken borrowers’ ability to repay debt. Others note that forward-flow funding can be pulled quickly if delinquencies rise or markets deteriorate. Bilt’s transaction also faced late-stage scrutiny. Shortly before closing, Blue Owl ( OWL ) was said to seek additional protections and a closer review of Bilt’s financial projections before approving the deal, the Journal reported.

Plug Power (NASDAQ: PLUG) stock is on the rise. Since 2026 began, shares of the hydrogen fuel company have increased in value by more than 30%. Some investors, however, think the run has just begun, and certain analysts on Wall Street agree. Eric Stine, an analyst at Craig-Hallum, for example, has a $7 price target on Plug Power shares. That price target suggests more than 150% in potential upside. Stine reiterated his buy recommendation earlier this month. Maybe shares will explode in value this year like Stine predicts. Or maybe the stock's rise will be spread over a number of years. Either way, will you regret not buying Plug Power stock a decade from now? You might be surprised by the answer. Continue reading
