If you've been stuck with a regrettable Gmail username you picked years ago, you might finally have a way out. Starting Tuesday, Gmail users in the US can change the portion of their email address before "@gmail.com," as reported by Android Authority . After changing your Gmail username, your old email address will remain connected to your account as an alternate address so any messages sent to it will continue reaching your inbox. Choose carefully, though - you can only create one new email address every 12 months. You also won't be able to use whatever new username you pick for a separate Google Account in the future.

Eric Francis/Getty Images News Warren Buffett recently made a "tiny" new purchase on behalf of Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK.A ) ( BRK.B ), but wouldn't make any investment that the new CEO, Greg Abel, thinks is wrong, the 95-year-old famed investor told CNBC News in an interview. Buffett remains closely involved in investment decisions at the multinational conglomerate holding company despite having stepped down from the CEO role in December, he said. Buffett still comes into the office daily and stays engaged with the markets, according to the interview. On the recent market volatility and buying opportunities, he said that current conditions fall far short of periods that created major buying opportunities, and there is "nothing to make you get excited".

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority. Photo: VCG Hong Kong has delayed issuing its first batch of compliant stablecoin licenses, missing a previously announced March target. The pause signals regulators’ preference for tighter risk controls over speed as global authorities grapple with how to supervise fast-growing, crypto-linked payment instruments, people familiar with the matter said. A spokesperson for the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) told Caixin the regulator is pressing ahead with the licensing process and will make an announcement in due course. The delay comes after public commitments from senior officials, including HKMA Chief Executive Eddie Yue and Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po, who said in his Feb. 25 budget speech that the first licenses would be issued in March. Hong Kong’s Stablecoins Ordinance took effect on Aug. 1, 2025.

US high-yield bonds are on track to post their first negative quarterly returns since 2022 as fears of artificial intelligence disrupting software makers and rising Treasury yields made investors more reluctant to bet on riskier companies. High-yield bond returns have dropped 1.1% this quarter through Monday’s close, with triple C rated bonds — the riskiest tier — falling the most with a 1.85% decline. Overall junk bond returns are the worst since a 9.8% decline in the second quarter of 2022, when investors were concerned about rising inflation and aggressive tightening by the Federal Reserve. While oil and Treasury yields are again soaring since the Middle East conflict erupted over a month ago, companies and the economy are now stronger than in the post-pandemic period, according to Vishwas Patkar , head of Morgan Stanley ’s US credit strategy team. Interest rates have also stabilized since then. “I wouldn’t say it’s been broad based jitters, but the last few weeks, we have seen spreads widen,” Patkar said. “So there’s a bit of a risk premium being injected into the market. I don’t think it’s been panicky at all. It’s been an orderly sort of reset.” Yields on junk bonds are trading around 300 basis points above Treasuries, which is still near a “historic low,” he said. According to Corry Short , credit strategist at Barclays , much of the negative returns can be attributed to the changes in Treasury yields rather than credit spreads widening. In 2022, returns for high-yield bonds fell 11.1% over the course of the year after a dramatic increase in post-pandemic demand and an oil price shock tied to Russia ’s invasion of Ukraine fueled inflation. The Fed also increased interest rates by more than four percentage points that year, further driving down returns for high-yield bonds. “The market is different from 2022,” said Bob Kricheff , portfolio manager for Shenkman Capital Management. “The financing market was working, but we had not had this extended period of hea...

Marcio Binow Da Silva/iStock via Getty Images Introduction Visa ( V ) has not performed well, declining 11% over the past year. There are several factors that have led the market to question what is otherwise a strong business. These include regulatory and antitrust pressure, as well as a potential fundamental threat to its moat. Real-Time Payment (RTP) systems completely bypass VisaNet and, in some cases, are now more widely used than Visa and Mastercard combined, it is important to explore Visa’s threat and response. Despite these fears, Visa looks as healthy as ever, with growth remaining in the low double digits (apart from net income) and management guiding for low double digit growth for 2026. In this article, I explore Visa’s current strategy and assess the extent of the RTP threat. Visa’s current strategy Visa is a network of networks that connect roughly 12 billion cards, bank accounts and digital wallets to 175+ million merchant locations across 200+ countries. Visa acts as a toll collector, earning service revenue which is a percentage of the payment volume, data processing revenue which is a fixed processing fee paid by issuers and acquirers, and cross-border fees for international transactions which offer higher margins. Visa (V) 10K's Other revenue “consists mainly of value-added services ( V AS) primarily related to Advisory and Other Services and certain Issuing Solutions”. The increase in other revenues from 3.6% to 7% of gross revenue shows Visa’s pivot towards software-like revenues at zero marginal cost. Visa is becoming less of a “payment toll” and more of a payments infrastructure + SaaS layer. Its VAS, consisting of issuing solutions, acceptance solutions, risk & security solutions and advisory & other services has had incredible growth over the past 3 years, now representing 27% of net revenue. Visa (V) 10Ks Visa’s VAS are built on top of its payment network and infrastructure which allows them to scale with minimal CAPEX and very high margin...
