Semiconductor stocks are the top way to play the AI arms race, in my opinion.

Semiconductor stocks are the top way to play the AI arms race, in my opinion. Nobody knows what fully profitable generative AI businesses will look like, and many of these companies are private, so investors don't have access to current financials. However, one incredibly obvious thing is the amount of money these companies are spending on computing equipment. This vaults semiconductor stocks into the leadership role on how to invest in this space. The best part is, these companies are making a boatload of money right now, making them far less risky than some other ways to invest in AI. I think these four stocks are among the best ways to invest. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

OpenAI has struck a deal to acquire TBPN, a technology-focused talk show popular in Silicon Valley, making an unexpected move into broadcasting after pledging to abandon “side quests” and focus on its core business.

TBPN, or Technology Business Programming Network, has acquired a devoted following among start-up founders and their investors since its launch in October 2024. Read full article Comments
A criticism of Superman stories is the guy’s near invincibility. And while a new trailer sees Kara tearing about like a cosmic gunslinger, there are hints her powers are at risk If James Gunn’s aim with last year’s Superman was to give us a Man of Steel who stood out from those who came before him on the big screen, he nailed it.

A criticism of Superman stories is the guy’s near invincibility. And while a new trailer sees Kara tearing about like a cosmic gunslinger, there are hints her powers are at risk If James Gunn’s aim with last year’s Superman was to give us a Man of Steel who stood out from those who came before him on the big screen, he nailed it. Even those who didn’t quite warm to this sunnier, weirder but more human incarnation could at least admire the way the film vaulted clear of almost every previous iteration. Delivering Kara Zor-El ought to be an easier job, for it is possible to argue that there has never been a definitive version of Supergirl on any screen, big or small. Yet it is starting to look as if the newly formed DC Universe is once again ready to push outwards rather than merely backwards. This week saw the release of a new trailer, in which Milly Alcock’s Kara tears through alien bars, starships and off-world landscapes with the swagger of a cosmic gunslinger. But perhaps more intriguing were comments from director Craig Gillespie in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, which saw the film-maker open up about the story’s nine-world structure and the unusually heavy amount of planet-hopping involved.

RichLegg/iStock via Getty Images The March jobs report was much better than expected. The 178,000 payrolls rise was above even the highest economist’s estimate and was the best gain since December 2024. Of course, there may have been some positive payback from weak early-year labor market trends driven by one-off factors.

RichLegg/iStock via Getty Images The March jobs report was much better than expected. The 178,000 payrolls rise was above even the highest economist’s estimate and was the best gain since December 2024. Of course, there may have been some positive payback from weak early-year labor market trends driven by one-off factors. The three-month average number of jobs created is now 68,000 (above the perceived breakeven level required to keep the unemployment rate steady). Just 7,000 jobs were taken off from January and February, softer than the trend from the past eight months. The unemployment rate fell sharply from 4.441% in February to 4.256% in March. The U-6 “underemployment” rate, however, rose to 8.0%. Average hourly earnings were particularly weak, up just 0.2% in March from February, bringing the year-over-year rate to just 3.5%--the lowest since May 2021. Average hours worked slipped to 34.2 per week from 34.3. Elsewhere, manufacturing employment rose by 15,000, the most since November 2023, and the Health Care sector was responsible for 76,000 of the headline NFP gain. What's more, the government shed 8,000 positions last month. The number of permanent job losers fell to 1.9 million, while the percentage of unemployed workers for more than 27 weeks rose to 25.4% from 25.3% in February. The prime age labor force participation rate inched lower to 83.8% from 83.9%. In markets, equity futures took their cue from the bond market. Treasury yields rose in electronic trading, putting downward pressure on S&P 500 futures (which closed at 9:15 a.m. ET for Good Friday).
