Dressed in Sunday school apparel and singing exclusively in Dutch, this unorthodox five-piece embrace clinical chaos From Kapelle, Holland Recommended if you like Black Midi, King Crimson, YHWH Nailgun Up next New single Maalstroom out now Tight-fitted in scrimpy Sunday school apparel, Grote Geelstaart – Dutch for great yellowtail fish – make music that’s decidedly less orthodox than appearances suggest. Drums skirmish with frighteningly efficient, jackhammer velocity; synths and guitars buzz and ring like fire alarms; the bass rumbles like a jammed freighter engine. Grote Geelstaart’s clinical chaos goes hand in hand with vocalist/guitarist Luuk Bosma’s primal punk dramaturgy, reminiscent of Nick Cave, James Chance and underrated Dutch punk thespians De Kift. This MO translates wonderfully to Grote Geelstaart’s Zeelandic roots, a place where an intricate network of dykes is built and maintained to keep the unforgiving North Sea at bay: human ingenuity v lawless elements.

Fenne/iStock via Getty Images Foreword About Large Cap Value “A Value ranking for large cap stocks from YCharts puts together complementary strategies found during their stock research. The value ranking looks at the price of a stock relative to a number of measurements that determine intrinsic firm value. Only the largest 10% of companies based on market cap are shown in this portfolio. What it is: The Value Score is a composite score. It tells you how much you are getting in terms of profits, cash flows, assets, sales, etc. for the stock price that you pay. It is a relative measurement, so it says nothing about the overall level of the market. Rather, it answers the question: "Given the current market level, which stocks give you the most current value for your dollar of investment?" Tens are the most value, and 1s are the least. How to use it: Use it to find companies that are selling at a low price relative to their assets and profits. Limitations of the Value Score: Watch out for companies with a lot of uncertainty or bad prospects for the future (e.g., Pharma companies with expiring patents, industries on the decline, etc.). About the Ben Graham Formula The Ben Graham Formula strategy contains ultra-stable stocks that will infrequently lose money if held over a long period of time. It was developed based on a screen in Graham's book, "The Intelligent Investor." For those who have the book, it is the "Defensive Investor" screen. It selects stocks that are large in terms of sales and total assets, have a strong track record of earnings and dividend payments, have a reasonable current ratio and level of long term debt, and have a low valuation given by PE Ratios and Price to Book Value ratios.” -YCharts While over half of this collection of GASV is too pricey, or reveals somewhat skinny or no forward looking dividends, fourteen of the twenty-nine “safer” lowest-priced dogs of the GASV are buyable.

CraigRJD/iStock via Getty Images The US dollar ( DXY ) is seeing this week’s gains pared against most of the G10 currencies today. The Australian dollar has recovered from a two-week low set earlier today and is the only G10 currency that has gained on the greenback this week. The Reserve Bank of Australia raised rates earlier this week, and the market has brought forward its expectation for another hike. The dollar’s gains this week seemed to be largely technical in nature as the correction to the sharp losses from mid- to late-January was retraced. The momentum indicators warn the upside correction may have more room to run. US January jobs report was due today, but another government shutdown delays it until next week. Canada reports its jobs figures today, but the policy impact is minimal as the Bank of Canada is seen on a long hold. The US 2-10-year yield curve is above 70 bp, the steepest in four years, and is drawing attention. Japan votes this weekend, and the Prime Minister Takaichi’s LDP looks set to expand its support. Thailand also votes this weekend. Prices G10 • The euro spent yesterday in an almost 25-tick range on either side of $1.1800. Options for 3.7 bln euros expire there today after 3.4 bln euro options expired there yesterday. The euro was sold to a two-week low earlier today, near $1.1765, before recovering to probe $1.18 in Europe. The momentum indicators warn that the downside correction is probably not complete. • The dollar took out the previous session high against the yen for the fifth consecutive session yesterday. The greenback reached almost JPY157.35, its best level since January 23 and the rate check by US officials. The dollar barely slipped through yesterday’s low (~JPY156.65) before recovering back to JPY157, where there are about $810 mln in options that today. It settled near JPY154.80 at the end of last week. • A combination of a dovish hold by the Bank of England and new knocks on Prime Minister Starmer saw sterling tumble mo...

Adam Gray/Getty Images News Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said his government is prepared to engage with the Trump administration, as the island braces for severe fuel shortages in the coming days. "Cuba is willing to engage in dialogue with the United States; to engage in dialogue on any topic," he said during a press conference broadcast on state TV and radio. But Díaz-Canel insisted that dialogue with the U.S. must be without pressure or preconditions, "on equal footing, with respect for our sovereignty, our independence, our self-determination." He said he'd spoken to Russian President Vladimir Putin and China's Xi Jinping, both of whom expressed their support and commitment to continue cooperation with Venezuela and Cuba. Díaz-Canel also noted that his government was working towards increasing oil production and fuel storage capacity, and within a week, it will let the public know what measures will be implemented to address fuel shortages. Following the press conference, the U.S. government announced an additional $6M in aid for Cuba. Meanwhile, Mexican officials are exploring how fuel can be sent to Cuba without triggering reprisals from the U.S., four sources familiar with the matter told Reuters . U.S. President Donald Trump last week signed an executive order authorizing tariffs on countries that sell or provide oil to Cuba, claiming the island supports "hostile actors, terrorism, and regional instability that endanger American security and foreign policy." Mexico is Cuba's largest oil supplier, after Venezuelan oil shipments to the island ceased in the wake of a U.S. blockade and the capture of Nicolás Maduro.

U.S., Iran to hold nuclear program talks. And, Dems unveil new list of DHS demands Good morning. You're reading the Up First newsletter. Subscribe here to get it delivered to your inbox, and listen to the Up First podcast for all the news you need to start your day. Today's top stories The United States and Iran are set to have high-stakes talks in Oman today to negotiate Iran's nuclear program. Typically, if both sides in a negotiation can't reach a deal, the diplomats go home, regroup and decide whether to hold another round of talks. But NPR's Greg Myre tells Up First that the U.S. has spent a month moving Navy ships and warplanes to the region, and if a deal isn't reached this time, President Trump could launch an attack on Iran. toggle caption AFP via Getty Images/AFP 🎧 Iran is in a position of weakness and will likely offer concessions during the negotiations, says Myre. The country has endured several setbacks over the last two years, including the U.S. and Israeli bombing campaign against its nuclear facilities last June. Myre says a limited nuclear agreement from Iran will probably not be enough for Trump. The U.S. wants to discuss broader issues, including limits on Iran's ballistic missiles. The U.S. also seeks to stop Iran from supporting militant proxy groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. Sponsor Message Democrats released a 10-point plan for the Department of Homeland Security's immigration law enforcement agents in a letter to the GOP. In addition to their original demands, which include removing officers' masks, Democrats want officers to wear identifying information, such as their last name. Lawmakers also want these officers to have standard uniforms and equipment, aligning them with civil enforcement officers. 🎧 NPR's Claudia Grisales says Republicans are not shutting down the proposal yet, but there is a lot of negotiating left to do with little time to accomplish it. Grisales says another stopgap bill is an option, allowing lawmakers to kick the can...
This could be a smart time to think about adding more bond diversification to your portfolio.

This could be a smart time to think about adding more bond diversification to your portfolio. If you want your investments to grow vigorously over the long haul, buying stocks is usually a better choice than buying bonds. But don't take my word for it -- there are centuries of data to back that premise up. The Deutsche Bank Research Institute's Long-Term Asset Return Study shows that during the past 200 years, U.S. stocks have delivered average annual inflation-adjusted returns of 6.7%, while 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds have returned 2.4% annually. And over medium-term periods, stocks also reliably beat bonds: During the past century in the U.S. market, bonds have never outperformed stocks over a 25-year time frame. But for most investors, bonds are still worth having in your portfolio. And if you want your assets to hold their value against inflation over the next few years, putting some of your funds into the Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (BND +0.43%) might be a good idea. Expand NASDAQ : BND Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF Today's Change ( 0.43 %) $ 0.32 Current Price $ 74.22 Key Data Points Day's Range $ 74.01 - $ 74.24 52wk Range $ 71.41 - $ 75.15 Volume 2.5K Why invest in bonds? Recent years have been unusually hard for bond investors. In 2021, the U.S. experienced a spike in annual inflation to 7%, and that was followed by 6.5% inflation in 2022. In its efforts to get rising prices back in check, the Federal Reserve boosted its benchmark interest rate rapidly. That largely had the desired effect, but when interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. As a result, the Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF had negative total returns in both of those years, losing 1.7% in 2021 and 13.2% in 2022. Over the past five years, this bond ETF lost an average of 0.23% per year. And over a 10-year time frame, it still averaged positive annualized returns of only 1.9%. That's not enough to beat inflation even when it's at the Federal Reserve's 2% target. So why invest in bonds...

Soho theatre, London Desire collides with stomach-churning awkwardness in this play – which won the Women’s prize – about friends heading out for some physical contact I’m watching Miriam Battye’s The Virgins, which was nominated for the Women’s prize for playwriting in 2020, but it feels as if I’ve been thrown headfirst back into my teenage years. Centred on a group of teens who have decided that tonight is the night their sex lives finally get moving, it’s a tornado of growing pains and pretence at pleasure. It’s a Friday night, and best friends – and virgins – Chloe (Anushka Chakravarti) and Jess (Ella Bruccoleri) are getting ready to go “out out” for the first time. Joined by their gossip-hoarding friend Phoebe (played by a hysterical Molly Hewitt-Richards), who panics at even the mention of physical contact, they brush their teeth and straighten their hair in anticipation of Anya (Zoë Armer) from the year above arriving to teach them all they need to know. Even better, Chloe’s brother Joel (Ragevan Vasan), who practically shrinks when a girl enters, and his “really, really fit” friend Mel (Alec Boaden) are next door playing video games. With no parents at home and vodka mixers at the ready, the night is a recipe for success. Continue reading...

Key Points Internet Computer (ICP) jumped straight into the top 10 cryptos at launch, but it has since fallen more than 99%. Its AI platform might turn things around, but so far, Internet Computer's price is stubbornly sinking. There are other ways to invest in both crypto and AI. 10 stocks we like better than Internet Computer › Internet Computer (CRYPTO: ICP) is a cryptocurrency that initially promised to act as a huge decentralized cloud and reshape the internet as we know it. So far, it has not lived up to those expectations. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » After trending lower for several years, it surged briefly late last year, then again in mid-January on the back of a white paper that promised to reduce supply growth by 70% by the end of the year. Improved tokenomics can be part of what makes a cryptocurrency valuable, but only when underpinned by solid fundamentals. Internet Computer has since erased those gains. I won't be adding Internet Computer to my portfolio in 2026. It sounds great on paper, but I can't see how it will ever regain investor trust after such a disastrous showing. Moreover, the crypto metrics indicate it hasn't attracted many developers or users. 1. Internet Computer never recovered from its false start Long-term cryptocurrency investors may remember the super-hyped launch of the Internet Computer token in May 2021. The project had huge potential, with an impressive team and big backers such as Andreessen Horowitz and Polychain Capital. The token shot up to $461.65 and at one point was one of the top 10 largest cryptos by market cap. It then dropped dramatically, falling more than 90% in the first few months. It has never come anywhere close to that initial high and is currently trading at about $2.28 -- down more than 99% from its high. It's a shockin...

Stellantis Shares Crash On 22 Billion Euro Charge Tied To Miscalculating EV Demand Stellantis NV shares crashed the most on record in European trading after the automaker disclosed a 22-billion-euro (about $25 billion) charge tied to its failed EV strategy. Management framed the charge as the cost of misreading the slope of EV adoption, effectively building a product and investment plan around an "energy transition" timeline that outpaced customers' budgets. " The reset we have announced today is part of the decisive process we started in 2025, to once again make our customers and their preferences our guiding star ," Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa wrote in a statement. Filosa said, " The charges announced today largely reflect the cost of over-estimating the pace of the energy transition that distanced us from many car buyers' real-world needs, means and desires. They also reflect the impact of previous poor operational execution, the effects of which are being progressively addressed by our new Team ." The writedowns include roughly 6.5 billion euros in payments, mainly for supplier compensation, as the struggling maker of Jeep and Fiat cars cancels multiple EV models and significantly reduces its battery footprint amid weaker demand. Stellantis is revising earlier targets for EV sales in Europe and for 50% EVs in the US by 2030, while also seeking to offset rising tariff costs. Part of Filosa's "reset" includes $13 billion in US investment, delaying some EV plans, bringing back V8s to refresh the Ram lineup, and multiple Jeep launches and refreshes this year. He also scrapped investments tied to a planned hydrogen joint venture. Stellantis is also exiting its Canadian battery joint venture with LG Energy Solution (LG is buying Stellantis's stake in the Windsor, Ontario, plant project). The move by Stellantis mirrors moves by industry peers, including Ford Motor, General Motors, and others. On Thursday, Volvo Cars shares fell the most on record after earnings misse...

Clarets host must-win game against West Ham with club facing a third demotion in three Premier League seasons “I still enjoy the day out, I just don’t let the results affect me any more,” says the Burnley season-ticket holder Mark Bentley. Fifteen games without a Premier League win and 11 points adrift of safety, the Clarets are facing relegation the season after promotion for a third time in a row. Sparring with the best should bring glorious enjoyment at Turf Moor but instead they have three victories from 24 games, beating the two other promoted sides and rock-bottom Wolves , with survival chances looking worse than slim. Relegation rivals West Ham visit on Saturday, and another defeat would remove any faint hope that Burnley could turn it around and leave their record over recent seasons reading: down, up, down, up, down. Beating Sunderland in the first home game brought optimism after a summer where money was spent, notably bringing in the 96-cap Kyle Walker after eight years of success at Manchester City, but that feelgood factor has dwindled.
