A "Bulging Lobe" Of Polar Vortex Madness Headed For U.S. East Mother Nature across the Mid-Atlantic can only be described by the Katy Perry lyric, “You’re hot, then you’re cold,” as a meteorologist warns that a "tropospheric polar vortex" will sweep across the Lower 48 this weekend into early next week, abruptly ending the summer-like conditions in Washington, D.C. "A bulging lobe of the tropospheric 'polar vortex' will be tracking through the Lower 48 , bringing a cold front and much cooler air to the Eastern U.S.," meteorologist Ryan Maue wrote on X. He added, "We'll wave goodbye to the nearly unprecedented mid-April heat wave."

Spain and Brazil signed a flurry of agreements at Pedro Sánchez and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva ’s first bilateral summit, as the Spanish leader seeks to build an alliance to counter US President Donald Trump . “The relationship between Spain and Brazil goes far beyond the strictly bilateral,” Sánchez told reporters after signing 15 deals covering areas including critical minerals, telecommunications and artificial intelligence. “Peace and the values that sustain it are being attacked by a reactionary wave,” he said, adding that “while others open wounds, what we want is to close and heal them.” The meeting with Brazil marked the start of two days of talks in Barcelona, where Sánchez is hosting about a dozen heads of state and government in a bid to position the Spanish city as a hub of resistance to Trump and a revival of the political left. Leaders from Mexico , South Africa , Colombia and Uruguay are also attending events and are scheduled to speak on Saturday. Participants share opposition to the war in Iran and to what they see as interventionist US foreign policy outside international institutions they say have proven ineffective. “I fully understand when you say ‘No to war,’” Lula said alongside Sánchez. “The UN is very weakened today. The nations that created the UN do not respect it,” he said. “Why have democratic institutions stopped working?” Sánchez is seeking to enlist these countries in “the necessary reform of the multilateral system,” including changes to the UN to give more voice to Global South countries such as Brazil, he said. The Spanish premier has emerged as one of Trump’s most outspoken critics in the European Union. Among the first leaders to oppose the intervention in Iran, which he described as “illegal,” Sánchez barred the use of Spanish airspace and the two US air bases in the country for operations supporting the strikes. Trump responded by threatening to cut off all trade agreements with Spain. The rift adds to tensions over the Spanish ...

Vladimir_Timofeev/iStock via Getty Images Though there are concerns around wireless pricing, Nicholas Clarke, Associate for Investment Grade Credit Research with TD Asset Management, says the telecom sector may be poised to handle risks from inflation and AI. He joins MoneyTalk for a look at the telecom space from a bond perspective. Transcript Greg Bonnell: The Canadian telecom sector has seen some volatile trading recently amid fears of renewed price war in wireless. But how does the health of these companies look from a bond perspective? Joining us now to discuss is Nick Clarke, Associate for Investment Grade Credit Research with TD Asset Management. Nick, great to have you here. We talk a lot about the telecom sector from an equity perspective on the show, not often from a bond perspective. How should we be thinking about things? Nicholas Clarke: Yeah, great to be here. Thanks, Greg, for having me on. I think that the big thing is you can start with maybe a similarity. And that is investors look for these companies for income exposure for their portfolios. So, on the equity side, that would be a dividend. On the bond side, that would be a coupon or interest payment. Now, there are differences, of course, in terms of how you get that exposure. And one of the big ones is the risk to that income changing. With fixed income or with bonds, that's a contractual obligation, where dividends are a little bit more earnings-dependent. In terms of the differences, obviously, when you look at stocks, typically you're thinking price appreciation might be part of the equation here in terms of why I might make an investment. And with bonds, that's normally less so. But we do think in this sector right now, there is potential for bonds to actually increase in value in the next few years. And that's because a lot of these companies have actually taken on a lot of debt, and they're starting to pay it down. And all else being equal, as that debt decreases, the value of the bonds th...

Jonathan Kitchen/DigitalVision via Getty Images Introduction Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.'s ( AMD ) stock price has increased by almost 42%. Even though the stock has delivered huge returns in the last month, I wanted to check if there is still potential for mispricing in valuation. To check that, I have calculated the estimated revenue and net profit with growth engines such as AI infrastructure and Meta Platforms ( META ) partnership. The company is competing with Nvidia ( NVDA ) and trying to be a cheaper alternative. The comparison of financials and market positioning of NVDA and AMD shows that AMD should trade at a discount compared to Nvidia. But AMD’s current P/E multiple is higher than Nvidia’s P/E multiple. However, I think the company is fairly valued. What is AMD? Advanced Micro Devices is a semiconductor company that has expanded its business from PC processors into a broader provider of high performance computing hardware. Its hardware is used for artificial intelligence, cloud infrastructure and large scale data processing. The company’s operation is mainly about designing chips rather than manufacturing them. So, to put it simply, AMD operates under a fabless model. AMD outsources its manufacturing to external semiconductor foundries and concentrates on architecture and performance improvements. AMD’s business is running on three engines. First is the Data Center business. It has become the fastest growing and largest revenue contributor among all business segments of AMD in last 5 year period. The reason behind the massive growth of the Data Center segment is the huge demand of the cloud providers for AMD’s server processors and AI accelerators. In less than a decade, the company has gained 28% server CPU market share. And server CPUs are the highest growth contributor to AMD’s business. The second business segment of AMD is Client and Gaming. Selling the processors and graphics chips that power computers and gaming consoles is part of this segment. ...

President Trump on Thursday announced his third nominee for director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Dr. Erica Schwartz, a well-qualified former public health official and board-certified physician in preventive medicine, who has publicly supported vaccination and followed evidence-based medicine. The uncontroversial pick comes amid concern within the administration that the aggressive anti-vaccine agenda from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—who has no medical, science, or public health background—has become a liability for the party in the lead up to the midterms. Schwartz was deputy surgeon general in Trump's first administration. She spent much of her career as a Navy officer, held the role of Chief Medical Officer with the US Coast Guard, and is a retired rear-admiral of the US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. She has medical degree from Brown University, a master's degree in public health, and a law degree from the University of Maryland. During the pandemic, she was involved in the federal rollout of COVID-19 vaccines. Read full article Comments

Getty Images In mid February, we put a buy rating on Roku ( ROKU ) for our members at $90. We still think the shares are attractive, even if better entry points could emerge given the rallies in the shares and the overall market. Operating leverage is one of the key drivers for our favorable opinion. Roku is competing with giants Amazon ( AMZN ) and Google ( GOOG ) for the streaming market, more precisely, the operating system for streaming. Where the walled gardens Amazon and Google have scale and resources, Roku competes on being open and user-friendly. Given the size of the competition and the resources (more particularly in AI) these rivals can bring to bear on the market, it's somewhat surprising that Roku is actually the market leader in the US. In part, this is the result of having a neutral platform, rather than the walled gardens of its main rivals, in part because of the user-friendliness of its platform, now enhanced with AI-driven solutions to deal with "discovery fatigue," the 15-20 minutes it often takes TV watchers to find something to watch. FinViz Growth The company's main revenue sources and growth drivers are: Secular tailwind from cord-cutting and CTV ad market growth, expected to grow from $27B in 2025 to $46.9B in 2028 As fellow SA author Juxtaposed Ideas showed , it sells hardware (streamers, TVs, projectors, soundbars, etc.) as razors (with a loss) to get people on the platform (now 87.7% of revenue).
