On the BBC, they are discussing Team GB’s near misses.“There’s no shame in saying we wanted an early medal, but every single one of those three results could have been ours,” says the ever-optimistic Chemmy Alcott. “Our best prospects are in the men’s skeleton, they’re a tick in the box for me.” Hello and welcome to day five day of winter action in Milan and the hauntingly beautiful Italian mounta...
On the BBC, they are discussing Team GB’s near misses.“There’s no shame in saying we wanted an early medal, but every single one of those three results could have been ours,” says the ever-optimistic Chemmy Alcott. “Our best prospects are in the men’s skeleton, they’re a tick in the box for me.” Hello and welcome to day five day of winter action in Milan and the hauntingly beautiful Italian mountains. There are eight gold medals up for grabs today, mostly on the slopes. They go for glory in the high-stakes men’s Super G (giant slalom) and the men’s Nordic combined (a 10km cross-country race and ski-jump), while Australia’s Jakara Anthony defends her title in the women’s Moguls (more ski-ing, this time racing down a steep course of jumps, turns and aerial trickery). France’s Lou Jeanmonnot guns for her second gold of the games in the women’s biathalon (cross-country skiing and rifle shooting). Over on the rink, the mighty Dutch are favourites in the men’s 1000m speed skating, while both sexes prepare to throw themselves down an icy shute in the luge double. Finally, flowing silks and rousing pianos accompany the free dance component of the ice dance finals. There, Britain’s Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson will be hoping to inch up from fourth to bronze. Incredible fact – 24 million tuned in to watch Torvill and Dean win gold in 1984, (and ten year old me was one of them). Team GB are crossing everything that Fear and Gibson will kick-start the country’s haul of medals, which so far have dangled agonisingly just out of reach. “We always speak about winter sports and how it comes down to absolutely nothing and I think the last couple of days has been a prime example of that, hasn’t it?” said chef de mission Eve Muirhead. “Millimetres, milliseconds. But you know what, I’m really kind of, I’m positive.” There’s also ice-hockey, snowboard half pipe, and more curling, where Britain’s men will start their campaign, against China.

America's Gen Z curlers bring new ways to traditional sport toggle caption Joe Scarnici/Getty Images Europe For twenty years, John Shuster of Superior, Wisconsin and Duluth, Minnesota has been the face of U.S. curling. He represented the U.S. in the past five Winter Olympics, and his team won the first and only American gold medal in curling, at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Games. Shuster carried the American flag in the Opening Ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Olympics. He was aiming for his sixth Winter Games. But the 43-year old Midwestern dad and his team of seasoned curlers got beat at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Curling in November, by 24-year-old Danny Casper and his (mostly) Gen-Z team. Sponsor Message Casper and his primary teammates Ben Richardson , Aidan Oldenburg , and Luc Violette , all in their mid-twenties and Olympic first-timers, mark a new era in U.S. curling. "We understand how much it means, for us but also for the country," Casper says, "We want to do our best to represent everyone well, so we're definitely going to give it our all." Trials were tough The competition at the Team Trials was fierce. It came down to the very last match. U.S. curling fans told NPR it was the best competition they'd seen in years. It was also civilized, with Team Shuster graciously conceding the loss. "Whatever you do, give it whatever you have – and some days it's not enough, and that's okay," Shuster said in a TV interview immediately after losing the final match, "Everyone needs to get behind those guys," he added, urging the stadium packed with mostly Shuster fans to support Team Casper in their Olympic run. Curling is a game of tradition, first played centuries ago on Scottish lochs, where players slide heavy granite rocks down a sheet of ice towards a target. Its code of ethics includes the " Spirit of Curling ": You don't distract your opponents, you call your own fouls, and you respect each other and the game. Sponsor Message "I want to respect the sport, and...

MarianVejcik/iStock via Getty Images Market Environment U.S. equities finished higher during the quarter with 9 of 11 GICS sectors posting positive returns. Health care and communication services contributed the most to market returns while real estate and utilities were the sole detractors. Portfolio Performance The portfolio's return was 8.36% (net) for the reporting period. This compares to the Russell 1000 Value Index that returned 3.81% for the same period. Performance highlights Contributors Warner Bros Discovery ( WBD ) Alphabet ( GOOG ) First Citizens Bancshares ( FCNCA ) Detractors Equifax ( EFX ) Paycom Software ( PAYC ) Liberty Broadband CI C ( LBRDK ) Top contributors: Warner Bros Discovery ( WBD ) was a contributor during the quarter. The U.S.-headquartered media company's stock price surged as multiple parties submitted offers to acquire all or part of the business. Following several rounds of bidding, WBD announced an agreement to sell its Streaming and Studios business to Netflix, while spinning the Global Networks business to shareholders. Paramount Skydance subsequently made a direct $30 per share offer to shareholders for the entire company. We are pleased with the steps the WBD board has taken thus far to unlock shareholder value. We will continue to closely monitor developments as this bidding war unfolds. Alphabet was a contributor during the quarter. The U.S.-headquartered technology conglomerate's stock price jumped after it delivered impressive third-quarter earnings. Search revenue growth beat consensus expectations as Google continues to see strong user engagement trends. Results were also ahead of expectations in the Cloud segment, and the outlook for this business remains robust given accelerating demand for AI compute. We continue to believe Alphabet is undervalued on a sum-of-the-parts basis and see potential for the company's AI leadership to drive further upside across the portfolio.

And he's putting his money and shareholders' money where his mouth is. Despite soaring stock market valuations over the last few years, trillion-dollar companies are still a rare breed. Just 11 stocks traded on U.S. stock exchanges are currently worth 13 figures. The majority of them are closely tied to advances in artificial intelligence (AI). Investors looking for the next trillion-dollar company would be right to consider some of the smaller AI stocks in the market. The technology holds a lot of promise to transform businesses across every industry, and a company facilitating that transformation could be worth a lot of money. One CEO believes his company is on a path to get there, but it's worth just over $100 billion right now. Here's why ServiceNow (NOW +2.54%) CEO Bill McDermott believes his company is a $1 trillion company in the making. Building the AI control tower ServiceNow got its start as simple IT service management software, but it's massively expanded its portfolio since. It now sports solutions for customer service, security, HR, finance, sales, legal, and just about any department you can think of at a large-scale enterprise. It counts 85% of the Fortune 500 as customers. It continues to add new services to its platform with tuck-in acquisitions. It recently acquired cybersecurity provider Moveworks for $2.85 billion and agreed to buy another cybersecurity company, Armis, for $7.75 billion. Many investors are worried about the price tags on those acquisitions, but they put ServiceNow in a great position to provide cybersecurity solutions for agentic AI. ServiceNow moved quickly to integrate generative AI solutions across its services a few years ago. Its Now Assist AI solution suite reached $600 million annual contract value as of the end of 2025.

Key Points Finding the needle in the haystack is tough. This "buy the haystack" strategy exposes investors to the tech sector's biggest winners. Losers will be present too, but history shows that extreme winners overwhelm them over time. 10 stocks we like better than Vanguard Information Technology ETF › I wouldn't blame anyone for being confused by the tech sector's recent whipsaw movements. From shares of Microsoft cratering 10% on the same day that it reports a 60% jump in year-over-year profits, to shares of Apple falling despite the company beating analysts' expectations, the outlook for tech stocks feels especially murky today. One solution, in the words of legendary investor John Bogle, would be to "buy the haystack" rather than trying to just find the needle. The Vanguard Group founder, whose teachings on the advantages of low-cost index funds created legions of fans, preached simplicity and diversification in capturing the market's long-term upside. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » It may seem counterintuitive, but casting a wide net and having exposure to hundreds of companies can position you for tremendous returns. After all, the S&P 500 index -- which tracks the performance of America's 500 largest public companies -- has returned 667% so far this century. This approach will expose investors to plenty of losers, of course. But while the farthest that a stock can fall is 100%, others go on to return hundreds of thousands of percent or more. It's very rare, but that's where buying the haystack comes in. Anyone buying the S&P 500 in November 2001 would have gained exposure to Nvidia's 40,630% rise (ironically, it joined the index back then by replacing Enron). Of course, the S&P 500 contains companies across every sector. For investors seeking exposure to technology, a fund to consider is the Vanguard Information Technolo...

US 'Not Trying To Dismantle NATO' But Europe Must Grow Up: US Envoy The Pentagon's chief strategist is heading to NATO this week to spell out what many European capitals have been quietly dreading: the future U.S. military posture in Europe is under review - likely up for downsizing, and even Europe's US-supplied nuclear umbrella could be up for review and negotiations . Defense Department policy chief Elbridge Colby will represent Washington at Thursday's NATO ministerial, filling in for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who is sitting out this round. However, Secretary of State Marco Rubio is set to lead the US side. US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker said Colby will address among other things "capabilities that may need to be ultimately transitioned out of Europe." Getty Images Colby has long argued that NATO allies must assume the primary responsibility for their own defense, which aligns with President Trump's priorities - namely that Europe can no longer rely on open-ended American security guarantees, also as Washington aligns toward dominance in the Western hemisphere (Donroe Doctrine). Much of America's military presence may soon be on the move. Speaking before a pre-conference audience, US envoy Whitaker already signaled contention. "I completely reject everything I just heard" he said, as Washington is "not trying to dismantle NATO," but that European allies must take more responsibility. Europe must grow up, he explained. "When your kids are young, they’re dependent on you. But eventually you expect them to get a job. And so to me, that’s where we are. We still love them. You’re still allies," Amb. Whitaker said . While praising allies' willingness boost military spending to 5%, he assessed that they are being too sluggish in turning this extra defense investment and expenditure into actual military capabilities. "One of the things that I’ve noticed in my time here in Europe is there is a lot of discussion and not a lot of action," he emphasized. He wa...
