The Federal Trade Commission pressured three advertising firms into settlements that will likely result in more ad spending on conservative media platforms. The FTC and eight US states filed a lawsuit against ad firms Dentsu, Publicis, and WPP yesterday, and simultaneously announced settlements with all three companies. The complaint alleges a conspiracy of "various interested parties to demonetize disfavored conservative news and opinion sites by denying them digital advertising revenue." The FTC filed suit in US District Court for the Northern District of Texas, which happens to be Elon Musk's preferred judicial venue . In a press release, the FTC claimed that starting in 2018, the three firms "unlawfully colluded to impose common 'brand safety' standards across the digital advertising industry... The ad agencies, together with their primary competitors Omnicom and Interpublic Group, operated through trade associations to establish a common 'Brand Safety Floor' to target 'misinformation.'" The FTC also said that "firms like NewsGuard and the Global Disinformation Index used this misinformation designation as a means to promote the demonetization of disfavored political viewpoints."

PM Images/DigitalVision via Getty Images One of investors’ biggest concerns about the U.S. economy today is the private credit market. I have a unique insight here, having started my career as a Bank Examiner examining Savings & Loans in Florida in 1985, and later worked as a Commercial Credit Manager of a mid-sized bank. In this article, I will discuss: prior credit cycles the size and makeup of the private credit market, exposure to software companies, credit quality impact on the economy, investor reaction so far the largest business development corps (BDCs) risk profile of private credit versus bank loans current risks, and investor recommendations Prior Credit Cycles My first job in 1985 was as a government Bank Examiner in Florida, examining Savings & Loans. Remember them? It was a crazy time and place for that job, as the majority of the S&Ls there were in collapse mode due to bad commercial real estate loans. Between 1985 and 1992, over 2000 S&Ls and banks failed. It was worse for the S&Ls as they had just been granted authority to make commercial loans, and many didn’t really know what they were doing. Almost all of these failures were due to a nationwide commercial real estate bust. Between 2008 and 2012, there was another credit cycle bust, and 465 banks failed. The headlines back then were all about bad subprime loans (higher risk residential mortgages). In reality, few banks failed due to subprime loans. The failures again were almost entirely from another commercial real estate bust. The subprime hit was huge, but mostly among the largest banks, insurance companies such as AIG, and foreign investors. The point here is that almost all the bank failures in the past 75 years occurred primarily due to two commercial real estate busts, not non-real estate commercial loans, which most of private credit is. The most recent failures of 4 banks, including Silicon Valley and Signature Bank, a few years back, had little to do with lending at all. Commercial lendi...

Oselote/iStock via Getty Images After a decade of trading around the $1,000 per ounce pivot point and watching gold make higher highs, platinum futures ( XPTUSD:CUR ) on the CME’s NYMEX division broke out to the upside in June 2025 when the price rose above critical technical resistance at the February 2021 high of $1,348.20 per ounce. It took Impala Platinum Holdings Limited ( IMPUY ), one of the leading platinum miners, far longer to break above its technical resistance level. Platinum and IMPUY have corrected from the late January 2026 highs, which could be a golden buying opportunity for one of the world’s leading platinum mining companies. I last wrote about IMPUY on Seeking Alpha on November 4, 2025, where I concluded the following: Mining shares tend to outperform the underlying company they extract from the earth’s crust on the upside and underperform when the commodity price declines. If platinum is heading for a challenge of the 2008 high of $2,308.80, IMPUY shares are likely to continue to outperform the metal on a percentage basis on the upside. I am bullish on platinum prices but would only buy or add to long positions on price corrections. Meanwhile, I rate IMPUY shares a Buy as they should continue to rise with platinum prices. IMPUY shares traded at $10.25 on November 4, 2025, while nearby NYMEX platinum futures were at $1,551.40 per ounce. Both platinum and IMPUY shares are significantly higher in April 2026. Platinum and palladium remain in bull markets after the correction from a new record high Platinum futures surpassed the 2008 record high of $2,308.80 per ounce in December 2025, and rose to a record $2,925 per ounce in January 2026. Quarterly NYMEX Platinum Futures Chart (Barchart) The quarterly chart shows that platinum futures corrected from the late January 2026 high, but remain over the $2,100 level in April 2026.

Andrey Semenov/iStock via Getty Images Long-Term Fundamentals: Enduring the Best and Worst of Times The S&P 500 and Nasdaq climbed to record highs this week as investors grew optimistic about progress in the U.S.-Iran peace talks, supported by positive economic data and a strong start to earnings season. This comes on the heels of a market gripped by extreme fear and headline-driven volatility , as the conflict in the Middle East escalated, oil prices surged , gold plunged, and interest rate expectations shifted. Bloomberg The recent uptick aligns with favorable post-crisis trends I discussed in my piece on the Best 5 Tech Stocks With Average Forward EPS Growth Of 197% . Panic selling during downturns can lead to financial losses and missed opportunities. The market has rebounded from geopolitical shocks dating back to Pearl Harbor. In fact, the S&P 500 has typically posted positive returns within 3 to 12 months after such events. Carson Investment Research Trying to time the market for short-term gains can be difficult and risky, especially when betting on stocks with weak fundamentals. Now might be a good time to take a longer-term view and identify stocks that have endured the best of times and the worst of times. In addition to solid competitive advantages, stocks that outperform during favorable and challenging market conditions possess exceptional fundamentals, such as robust earnings growth, solid margins, and strong return on capital – along with bullish analyst revisions. Seeking Alpha’s quantitative tools can help investors find these types of stocks. How I Chose The Top ‘Unstoppable’ Stocks In The Past 5 Years Using Seeking Alpha’s Stock Screener , I selected Strong Buy stocks with the highest five-year price returns.
