JHVEPhoto Following a meeting with company executives, investment firm Evercore said CDW ( CDW ) has “multiple levers” to boost its operating leverage. “CDW is committed and has multiple levers to show operating leverage in CY26 and beyond,” analyst Amit Daryanani wrote in a note to clients. “We expect to see their leverage become larger in H2 vs. H1 this year.” Additionally, Daryanani, who has an Outperform rating and a $180 price target on CDW shares, believes the company is “well positioned” to help customers deploy artificial intelligence throughout their organizations, both in hardware and in services. And while the rising price of memory has impacted some companies, including CDW, there is no sign of a decline in demand, which Daryanani said bodes well for CDW. Daryanani also weighed in on CDW's relationship with Cisco ( CSCO ) and said Cisco's new channel program could “favor CDW given they will end up rewarding full-cycle capabilities, and this could enable better share,” adding that CDW is Cisco's largest channel partner. On the subject of capital and M&A, Daryanani said there is a high bar for acquisitions, compared to buybacks, given the current valuation. “The company targets returning 50-75% of [free cash flow] to shareholders, though [it's] worth noting last year they did around 90% [free cash flow],” Daryanani explained.

Mary Evans, Aidan Walker and Ruth Baker on Simon Jenkins’ suggestion for how to deal with the US president Phoebe Merrick and John Spencer on religion and war, Rev Canon John Longuet-Higgins on Trump’s expletive-laden threat to Iran, and Diana Francis on US bases in Britain Simon Jenkins is perhaps a little overoptimistic in arguing for what is essentially a waiting game about the politics of Donald Trump and his administration ( To a world at a loss as to how to handle Trump, I say this: the only answer may be to wait him out, 2 April ). Trump and those alongside him have effectively diminished or abolished central tenets of the legal and civic structure of the US. Not least to have disappeared in this bonfire is that political cliche about the checks and balances over political power. That basic tenet of every political handbook about the US has proved to be a vain hope. Waiting for the downfall of one individual surely suggests that we should ask two questions. First, will others, perhaps less personally flawed but nevertheless of the same politics, simply take his place? Second, if the country (and a lot of the rest of the world) wishes to go in another direction, when can we see the plan? Continue reading...

Alisdair McNicol recalls proposals in the 1970s for secure sites with proper accommodation for drivers, which were sadly dropped before the plans took off Your long read ( 35,000 pints of stolen Guinness, 950 wheels of pilfered cheese: can the UK’s cargo theft crisis be stopped?, 31 March ), which discusses the work of Mike Dawber, the UK’s leading detective in cargo crime, and Michael Yarwood, managing director for loss prevention at the global cargo insurer TT Club, refers to “a shared dream: a truck stop with perimeter fencing, full CCTV coverage, 24-hour guards”. This particular dream was actually proposed to be fulfilled in the early 1970s, when the government published a design specification that had all of the features referred to, plus a good deal more besides, with a view to establishing a nationwide chain of such facilities.

This bold step would provide a practical route for restoring the UK to its rightful place within the EU, says Prof Philip Murphy The prime minister’s comments about seeking closer relations with the EU are to be welcomed as a step in the right direction ( Starmer calls for ‘ambitious’ new UK-EU ties as Trump threatens to quit Nato, 1 April ). Yet a piecemeal approach to repairing the damage done by Brexit is unlikely to succeed. A genuinely “ambitious” plan would be for Labour to announce a referendum on whether the UK should open negotiations on re-entry to the EU, promising a general election to secure a mandate to implement the proposal should the British public vote in favour. It would allow the government to seize the initiative, providing it with an issue around which to rally a broad base of electoral support. Continue reading...

Lincoln up with five games to spare after 2-1 win Bolton draw with Stockport leaves Imps’ result moot Lincoln celebrated promotion to the Championship with a hard-earned 2-1 victory at the playoff chasers Reading as they returned to the second tier after 65 years. Lincoln, needing only a point, made a bright start and went ahead in the fifth minute through Ryan Oné and seemed destined for a 1-0 win, only for Reading to level in the second minute of stoppage time from a Lewis Wing free-kick. However, Jack Moylan snatched the winner four minutes later, seconds after promotion had been secured by Bolton v Stockport finishing in a 2-2 draw, meaning neither could catch the Imps.

Eco-aware family planning and economic degrowth are two of the wiser social paradigms trying to emerge to replace the ecocidal norms of the past, writes Barbara Williams Your article linking the decreasing birthrate with our housing crisis was infuriating to anyone familiar with the escalating global ecosystems collapse ( Want to boost the UK’s birthrate? Fix the housing crisis, research suggests, 1 April ). Recent research funded by Population Matters confirms that a sustainable global human population would be 2.5 billion . The Earth Overshoot website reveals that Britain is overpopulated by nearly 50 million . Growth economics, wealth inequality, patriarchy, colonialism, military supremacy, nationalism and pronatalism are all unwise behaviour patterns in global ecosystems collapse. These can all be categorised as a “fluency” response from our limbic system. Our limbic response is the reason that these unwise behaviour patterns persist; they bypass our critical thinking.

Tingting Ji/iStock via Getty Images I've written here and elsewhere about what I call the "Dog Collar" strategy. That's just my "pet name" for a typical option collar strategy, where a stock or ETF is surrounded by a covered call option and a protective put option. I have identified 5 large cap U.S. stocks that meet my criteria, and I'll show some examples of recent setups below. First a few review points on what this is and isn't. If you go into your favorite AI chat (I like Google's Gemini) and simply type "Isbitts Dog Collar," It turns out that an "Isbitts Dog Collar" isn't something your pet wears—it’s actually a specific investment strategy used in the stock market. The term was coined by Rob Isbitts , a veteran investment strategist. Isbitts specifically uses the term "Dog Collar" to describe applying this strategy to stocks or ETFs that are currently "in the doghouse"—meaning they have recently sold off or are underperforming, but the investor still wants to hold them while limiting further risk. Key Components: The Target: A stock or ETF that has been beaten down (the "dog"). The Goal: To stay invested in a volatile asset while strictly defining the "worst-case scenario." The Setup: 1. Own the underlying shares. 2. Buy a Put Option: Sets a floor for how much you can lose. 3. Sell a Call Option: Generates income to offset the cost of the put, but limits how much profit you can make if the stock rockets back up. That's all based on what I've written in the past about the dog collar concept. Frankly, I was pretty into it early last year. But then the markets made it very difficult to continue. Why? Because for the past 6 months, the stock market has been a tale of quick pops that have not been sustainable. That's not a good environment for Dog Collars, or option collars in general. Data by YCharts Key features and process notes on Dog Collars: Identify stocks that have 2 clear features: they are not just down a lot (25-50% from their highs, typically). They are...

Seth Love/iStock via Getty Images The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has exclusive jurisdiction over sports-related event contracts, and New Jersey gaming regulators cannot prevent Kalshi ( KALSHI ) from enabling people in the state to place related financial bets on its prediction market, a court ruling said . "Kalshi's sports-related event contracts are swaps traded on a CFTC-licensed DCM (designated contract market), so the CFTC has exclusive jurisdiction," the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ruled. The news comes amid the CFTC's efforts to crack down on unlawful regulation of prediction markets by states. Despite the CFTC's exclusive jurisdiction to regulate event contracts under the Commodity Exchange Act, various states have attempted to outlaw, regulate, or restrain the activities of designated contract markets that facilitate trading in lawful event contracts. Last week, the CFTC filed a lawsuit against three states—Arizona, Connecticut, and Illinois—over unlawful efforts to regulate prediction markets. In 2025, New Jersey is said to have sent Kalshi a cease-and-desist letter, which alleged that its listing of sports-related event contracts violated state gambling laws that prohibit betting on collegiate sports. Kalshi filed a lawsuit against the state, alleging that its event contracts qualify as a type of derivative contract called "swaps" and can be regulated only by the CFTC. The latest news comes as a win for Kalshi and other prediction markets. Major prediction markets are operated by Polymarket ( POLYMARKET ), Kalshi ( KALSHI ), and PredictIt. However, brokers are starting to offer their clients access to them, including Robinhood Markets ( HOOD ) and Interactive Brokers ( IBKR ). Even Wall Street bank Goldman Sachs ( GS ) is considering entering prediction markets. The news also impacts sports betting operators such as DraftKings ( DKNG ), FanDuel ( FLUT ), and BetMGM ( MGM ) ( GMVHF ). More on Kalshi Inc Will sports betting operat...

Skyrocketing fuel prices due to the Iran war are fanning the embers of transportation costs, which were already rising due to a shrinking pool of drivers in the US. Trucking operators saw diesel prices spike by almost 50% since the start of the US-Israel war against Iran at the end of February. Haulers have responded by raising the weekly per-mile fuel surcharge paid by shippers to its highest since 2022, according to Truckstop.com data. Those surcharges come on top of a months-long increase in truck-equipment rates, which are charged to move goods around the country and are higher in part due to trucker shortages. Employment in the industry has tumbled since peaking during the pandemic reopening rush and is now the lowest since September 2020. Although transportation costs represent a relatively small portion of the final price consumers pay for goods, the surge in shipping expenses risk adding to inflationary pressures. March data due Friday is expected to show the biggest annual increase in consumer prices in two years. With a shrinking pool of workers and now the surge in fuel costs , transportation firms are dealing with a double hit. A crackdown on certain foreign holders of commercial driver’s licenses due to safety concerns is contributing to the tighter market for truckers, said Jason Miller, a supply chain professor at Michigan State University. Read More: Truckers Who Fail an English Test Are Being Pulled From US Roads The Institute for Supply Management’s gauge of prices paid for services and materials rose by the most in March in almost 14 years, mostly because of the increase in fuel costs, Steve Miller, chair of the ISM Services Business Survey Committee, said Monday on a call with reporters. Trucking companies generally operate on small profit margins, so fuel price increases are typically passed along because they can’t afford to eat those costs, said James Peoples, an economics professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee who studies transpor...
