A common bit of advice for beginning investors is to "just buy an S&P 500 index fund." But there's more than one way to do this. A variety of S&P 500 ETFs make it possible to buy all the stocks of the 500 largest publicly traded U.S. companies, often at low fees. If you want to get more aggressive with your investing, you could choose a leveraged S&P 500 ETF that lets you buy stocks with borrowed money. Let's look at two popular funds that let you buy the S&P 500. The State Street SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT: SPYM) is a straightforward low-cost index fund that tracks the S&P 500 -- whatever return the index delivers, this fund will pass on to you with minimal expenses. But if you are open to a higher level of risk and volatility, the SSO Ultra S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT: SSO) is another choice -- this is a leveraged ETF designed to double the daily performance of the S&P 500. Over the past 10 years, SSO has delivered average annual returns (by net asset value) of 21.2%, while the non-leveraged SPYM has generated 14.2% per year. But choosing the best ETF isn't just about past performance. Here's a quick breakdown for how investors can choose between SSO vs. SPYM. Continue reading

jetcityimage/iStock Editorial via Getty Images On Thursday morning, Abbott Labs ( ABT ) reported first quarter results, presenting investors with a modest revenue beat on the top-line and in-line earnings. However, the stock traded 4-5% lower in the pre-market as sellers were disappointed in earnings guidance. At issue were costs from the recent acquisition of Exact Sciences, with the $21B deal impacting full year profits by approximately $0.20/share over the course of 2026. The acquisition, which closed on March 23rd, has been taken as a negative by the market and is the primary reason shares are down over 20% so far in 2026. Investors willing to look past acquisition-related weakness can find many optimistic factors in the Q1 report . Profits and sales grew by mid-single digits in Q1 (~6-7%), with steady growth seen for the remainder of 2026. While Abbott's $2B nutrition segment continues to underperform (-6% YoY), the acquisition presents TTM sales of $3.2B in the oncology diagnostics market, adding a new high-growth vertical equivalent to 7% of revenues. As medicine moves toward a personalized experience, particularly in oncology, this positions Abbott to capitalize on a major secular growth trend. In addition, Abbott has rarely been this cheap. 2017 marked the 10-year nadir of valuation, with shares trading as low as 15.3x, however, the company has rarely traded below 20x. Presently, the midpoint of 2026 earnings guidance is $5.48/share, putting the price around 17.7x forward earnings, more or less the cheapest in 10 years. The company's price relative to sales and cash flow paints a similar picture, hinting that the market's dour sentiment may be close to bottoming. Abbott Labs is also a Dividend King, having raised its annual dividend for 52 consecutive years . Shares yield 2.6% with 5-year annualized growth of 8.5%, offering a good starting yield with significant growth ahead. For dividend growth investors, Abbott's strong history, low valuation, secular gro...

美国中央司令部表示，三天内已有14艘船只掉头，而非试探美国针对穿越霍尔木兹海峡的涉伊朗船只实施的海上封锁。 “美军对试图进入或离开伊朗港口的船只执行封锁任务时保持专注、警惕且士气高昂，”美国中央司令部周四在社交媒体发文称。 参谋长联席会议主席丹·凯恩此前在发布会上表示，已有13艘船只选择掉头，他详细介绍了美国向伊朗施压的此项行动。 凯恩对记者表示，美国将在“伊朗领海内以及国际水域”执行这项封锁，并称目前为止尚未需要开展任何登船行动。 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普本周开始实施该封锁行动，官员称行动涉及10，000名美军人员。凯恩也就该行动提供了新的细节，称远到 太平洋 的美军牵头部队也将“积极追踪任何悬挂伊朗国旗的船只，或任何试图向伊朗提供物资支持的船只”。 在同一场简报会上，美国国防部长表示，美军准备好在特朗普下令时随时恢复作战，并敦促伊朗领导人做出明智选择。 “我们宁可不必这么做，但只要总统下令，只要按下按钮，我们就准备出击，”美国国防部长称。“如果伊朗作出错误选择，他们将面对封锁，以及落向基建、电力和能源设施的炸弹。” 美国国防部长表还暗示，美国掌握的信息显示，美以自2月底发动打击后，伊朗正试图重建其军事能力。 美国国防部长表说：“记住，这不是一场势均力敌的较量。我们知道你们在调动哪些军事资产，以及调到哪里，你们同时还在清理那些被炸毁、满目疮痍的设施。” 责任编辑：何云

Here are the stocks making headlines in midday trading. Advanced Micro Devices – The chip company surged more than 7% after Bernstein lifted its price target to $265 per share from $235. "We are warming to AMD as well as they benefit from server CPU strength," wrote analyst Stacy Rasgon in a Thursday report. The stock is on pace for a 12th straight winning session. Rasgon's team also raised their price target on Intel to $60 per share from $36 in the same report. Shares advanced nearly 5%.

Inna Kot/iStock via Getty Images Shares of AI mortgage origination platform Better Home & Finance Holding Company ( BETR ) have been on a rollercoaster ride after hedge fund manager Eric Jackson touted the stock in Sept 2025. The company aims to leverage AI to disrupt the mortgage origination market by removing the human element that can reduce the time for approval answers from three weeks to 47 seconds. Trading at a PE of just over 18x on FY27E non-GAAP EPS while expected to grow revenue by 63% and 53% over the next two years, the beneficial owner buying into this busted IPO merited a deeper dive. An analysis follows below. BETR Stock Chart (Seeking Alpha) Company Overview: Better Home & Finance Holding Company is a New York City based digital platform that provides mortgages, home equity loans, and ancillary products, all designed to enable a seamless and quicker financing experience. Aided by a technology stack dubbed Tinman AI Platform, the company aims to disrupt the mortgage origination ecosystem, having generated funded loan volume of $4.7 billion in FY25, which represented a 32% increase over FY24. Better was formed in 2015 and went public in 2023, when it reversed merged into special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) Aurora Acquisition Corp. The public debut was an enormous flop as SPAC investors typically have the option to redeem their investment before the impending merger. With interest rates low when Aurora went public in 2021 but significantly higher when the Better transaction was about to consummate, 95% of investors redeemed, leaving a relatively illiquid float. With confidence waning in the mortgage market, shares of [NOW] BETR cratered 93% to $57.50 (after giving effect to a 1-for-50 reverse stock split in August 2024) on their first day of trading. Its stock trades at just over $37.00 a share translating to a market cap of roughly $725 million. March 2026 Company Presentation The company is capitalized by three classes of stock. The 10.6 milli...

Jim Cramer Shares Important Advice About Intel (INTC) Stock Insider Monkey

Key PointsThe electric air taxi maker cleared a key regulatory hurdle and has nearly $2 billion in liquidity.

Former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson called on US authorities to prepare a back-up plan in order to avert a potential collapse in demand for Treasuries — an event that he warned would have “vicious” effects. “We need an emergency break-the-glass plan, which is targeted and short-term, on the shelf, so it’s ready to go when when we hit the wall,” Paulson said in an interview for Bloomberg Television’s Wall Street Week with David Westin . Paulson said a breakdown in the $31 trillion market for US government debt would be different from the financial crisis he dealt with while at the Treasury’s helm two decades ago. “As bad as it was,” the government had fiscal firepower to address the credit meltdown, he said. “You can come in and clean up the mess.” But in the event of a US public debt crisis, “when you hit the wall and you’re trying to issue Treasuries and the Fed is the only buyer and the prices of the Treasuries are going down and interest rates are up, that’s a dangerous thing.” US budget experts have for years warned of the potential for a “ doom loop ,” where investors start demanding higher yields on Treasuries due to risks tied to the government’s swelling debt burden , which then causes an increase in the government’s interest payments — in turn widening the deficit. In an extreme scenario where the Treasury proves unable to raise all it needs to pay for interest or principal payments, many assume the Federal Reserve would have to step in as an emergency buyer. “People say, when are you going to hit the wall? I obviously don’t know, it’s impossible to know,” Paulson said. “When we hit it, it will be vicious, so we have to prepare for that eventuality.” Read More: IMF Says Treasuries Losing Premium, Warns on Debt Management The former Treasury chief didn’t lay out the specifics for a potential break-the-glass plan. But he said “there is good news — we’re a rich country, and so there’s plenty we could do if we begin to act” on the fiscal deficit. “It’s goin...

Madison Air Solutions Corp. shares rose 19% after the company raised $2.23 billion in the biggest US listing of an industrial firm in close to three decades. Shares of the provider of ventilation and filtration systems opened at $32, compared to the initial public offering price of $27 each. The company sold 82.7 million shares after marketing them for $25 to $27 apiece. The trading gives the Chicago-based company a market value of $15.6 billion based on the number of outstanding shares listed in its filings. The IPO is the biggest in the US by an industrial company since United Parcel Service Inc. raised $5.5 billion in 1999, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The courier went public during the rise of online commerce and found favor with investors hungry for stocks linked to the internet. Read More: AI Gold Rush Drives Thousands of Newcomers Into Data Centers Madison Air is also seen as way to get exposure to the cutting edge of technology, this time the artificial intelligence boom that’s powered a three-year bull market in US stocks. The company’s business includes selling liquid, hybrid and air cooling products for data centers, and it’s said that the construction of those computing hubs — as well North America’s aging housing stock and reshoring of advanced manufacturing — is fueling growth in the estimated $40 billion market for specialized air systems. “Anything associated with AI tends to get a premium,” said Rob Thummel , a portfolio manager for the Tortoise AI Infrastructure ETF . “The question is, is it pure-play enough? And I guess that’s what investors will decide.” The IPO is the latest, and the largest, in a series of splashy debuts from industrial firms with a tie to the buildout of data centers. Shares of Legence Corp. surged 148% from the engineering company’s September IPO through Wednesday, while power-equipment maker Forgent Power Solutions Inc. climbed 20% since debuting in February.
