At retirement's edge, homebuying math gets harder. Here's how to navigate it toggle caption Mario Tama/Getty Images We are asking readers and listeners for their questions about all things homeownership and renting. Today, we're answering one of them. Submit your question below. At 69, Norman Schenck is preparing to retire. He and his wife, Lorie Schenck, 67, live in a Detroit suburb and are hoping to relocate to central Ohio to be closer to their grandchildren. For about the past two decades in Michigan, they've been renting a condo. But in this new chapter of their lives, they're facing a huge decision: Do they put a big chunk of their retirement down to buy a house in the new location, or continue to rent? Sponsor Message "It's a very daunting question, and it's a complicated one when you do the math," Norman says. One of the things he has enjoyed about renting, he says, is "the grass is cut, the snow is removed and all those things are taken care of for us." But Lorie notes that both of their mothers lived into their 90s. She is determined to buy rather than rent on the chance they will live long enough to pay off a house. "And then you've got an investment that could be something for the grandkids," Norman says. His wife's logic seems sound, Norman says. And he would love to have a garden again. But shoveling snow? "That's not so appealing." How old is too old for a mortgage? Many older Americans face these difficult questions — and, unfortunately, the answers aren't so straightforward. In some cases, the proposition is moving out of their existing home to a smaller one or to a seniors-only retirement community. In others, such as the Schencks', it's about moving to be with children and grandchildren. "I hear this a lot: 'We've been here 20 or 30 years, and we're ready to go back home and be closer to family,'" says Ben Graham, an Arizona-based Realtor who specializes in working with older adults. Tacking on a 15-year or 30-year mortgage in your 50s or 60s is "...

Pressure from lower prices for its blockbuster weight-loss drugs, in part due to the US government's push to cut prices, will contribute to the decline. The shares fell as much as 20% in early Copenhagen trading, the biggest intraday decline since July, more than wiping out the previous gains for this year.

Key Points Revenue visibility has fundamentally improved for CoreWeave. Execution is now the primary risk for the AI cloud computing provider How the company manages scale, capex, and operations is key going forward. 10 stocks we like better than CoreWeave › Last year marked a turning point for CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV). The company entered 2025 as a fast-growing private artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure provider and exited it as a publicly traded, systemically important player in the AI compute ecosystem. Revenue surged, customer commitments expanded rapidly, and CoreWeave cemented its role as a key supplier to some of the world's most demanding AI builders. But beyond the headline growth, 2025 delivered something more valuable for investors: clarity. By year's end, it became much easier to understand where CoreWeave's opportunity lies, what the real risks are, and how AI stock investors should evaluate the business going forward. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Growth is not only explosive -- it's visible CoreWeave's revenue growth in 2025 was eye-catching, but the more important story sat beneath the income statement. The company exited the year with a contracted revenue backlog exceeding $55 billion as of Sept. 30, 2025, largely driven by large deals with customers including OpenAI, Meta Platforms, and multiple hyperscalers. That backlog meaningfully changes how investors should think about the business. Unlike usage-based cloud models, where revenue can fluctuate with demand cycles, a significant portion of CoreWeave's future revenue is already contractually committed, assuming it delivers capacity on schedule. This gives the company a level of forward visibility that is rare for a business still growing at this pace. The contrast between quarterly revenue and backlog reinforces the point. While CoreWeave generated roughly $1.4 billion per quarter dur...

EU vs. Elon Musk: The Battle Over Free Speech Escalates In Paris Submitted by Thomas Kolbe A raid on Elon Musk’s company X in Paris: On Tuesday morning, the French public prosecutor gained access to the company’s offices. The stated purpose of the investigation is the dissemination of child pornography and violations of personal rights through the spread of Deepfakes. X’s offices in Paris, which were searched by investigators from the Paris prosecutor’s office, the national cyber crime unit and Europol The French prosecutor’s office carried out the search Tuesday morning at Elon Musk’s X offices in Paris. Officially, the raid targets suspicions of distributing child pornography, according to a statement from the authority. As a further justification, the “Internet and Cybercrime” division cited the recently criticized so-called sexual Deepfakes. These photo and video manipulations are generated using the AI of the Grok application, which the X platform provides to its users. Another allegation against the platform’s operators concerns the distribution of material denying the Holocaust. The French prosecutor’s office is thus deploying maximum heavy artillery against X at the next escalation level. These appear to be politically motivated accusations, as the operator of a communication platform ethically cannot be responsible for content published by individual users. Different Stage Clearly, there is more at stake. At the center is the conflict between the European Union and the U.S. government. The recurring point of contention: enforcing European censorship laws under the Digital Services Act (DSA)—now using a morally escalated strategy. Child pornography, Holocaust denial—hardly worse can be imagined. Such content is commercially damaging. And this aligns precisely with the French government’s strategic line, acting here as the executing arm of the EU Commission. The fight for free speech in Europe has now shifted to a moral battlefield, where rule of law, freedom...

What’s going on with Steam Machine? Valve has been relatively quiet on the upcoming hardware since announcing it last year, and it remains without a release date or a price. But AMD, which powers Steam Machine itself so you’d like to think it’s in the know, has said Valve is “on track” to begin shipping early this year. That’s according to comments made by CEO Lisa Su in AMD's latest earnings call (the same one that mentioned the next-gen Xbox was set for launch in 2027). To be exact, here’s the quote: In gaming, revenue increased 50% year-over-year to $843 million. Semi-custom sales increased year-over-year and declined sequentially as expected. For 2026, we expect semi-custom SoC annual revenue to decline by a significant double-digit percentage as we enter the seventh year of what has been a very strong console cycle. From a product standpoint, Valve is on track to begin shipping its AMD-powered Steam Machine early this year. That sounds pretty clear cut (early this year suggests by the end of March, if we consider early to be the first quarter), but Valve has yet to rubber stamp the launch window, and has remained quiet on potential price points, likely due to the rising cost of PC components. So, what’s the latest? The Steam Machine is a mid-level gaming-focused PC designed to be more accessible than a standard desktop PC, with a sleek, cube-like design and SteamOS on-board. We here at IGN have offered our thoughts on how much the Steam Machine will cost , suggesting it’ll probably be higher than people think. Chatter about pricing ramped up last year after Linus Sebastian of Linus Tech Tips suggested it wouldn’t follow a “console pricing model” of $500 , after mentioning the figure in a meeting with Valve staff.

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Tesla Inc. (TSLA, Financials) started 2026 with a 9.3% year over year increase in China made electric vehicle sales, totaling 69,129 units in January, according to data from the China Passenger Car Association.The sum covers local and European and other exports. The yearly rise was Tesla's third straight, although sales fell 28.9% from December's record 93,843 units. The drop is due to seasonal demand fluctuations and increased competition from BYD and Li Auto. As new competitors released feature-rich models and aggressive pricing, Tesla's share in China's EV market fell to 8% in 2025 from 10% the year before. Its seven-year, low-interest financing option for Model 3 and Model Y consumers prompted Xiaomi and Xpeng to follow suit in January. Slowing demand and political criticism to CEO Elon Musk's public involvement hurt Tesla sales in key European nations. Musk is confident about overseas growth drivers, including regulatory clearance for Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) software in China and Europe this month. As EV sales decrease, the firm relies on software income. Tesla will need product revisions, software adoption, and price strategy to maintain dominance in the world's largest EV market as competition tightens.
