A collection of 3D printed guns and guns that have been modified using 3D printed parts. | AFP via Getty Images Governor Kathy Hochul and other New York state lawmakers want 3D-printer companies to block the printing of components used to create "ghost guns" - firearms without serial numbers that can be printed privately, easily avoiding a background check. At a press event on Tuesday, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said two 3D-printing companies had voluntarily agreed to adopt technology that would block the creation of guns using their printers; another digital design company agreed to remove some firearm CAD files (the printing blueprints) from their services, Bragg said. Lawmakers have proposed legislation that would make it illegal to s … Read the full story at The Verge.

A unit of Heathrow Airport is looking to raise around C$500 million ($359 million) through a bond sale in Canada, according to people familiar with the matter, amid improved market conditions there for overseas borrowers. The note from Heathrow Funding Limited could have a maturity of about 10 years, and initial discussions are for a spread of at least 120 basis points above Canadian government benchmarks, said the people, who asked not to be identified as they aren’t authorized to speak publicly. Representatives from the funding vehicle of the London airport are scheduled to speak with Canadian investors on April 6, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday. Heathrow didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment on Thursday. Conditions have grown more favorable for issuers of so-called maple bonds. Meanwhile, investors have been increasingly attracted to loonie-denominated bonds from non-Canadian entities as they’re now part of the FTSE Canada Universe Bond Index. Heathrow Funding raised C$600 million last July, with orders nearly six times that.

Trump Puts State Farm, Other Insurers On Notice Over Treatment Of California Wildfire Victims Authored by Chris Summers via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), President Donald Trump on March 31 told State Farm and other insurers to “get their act together” after meeting with California politicians and hearing about the difficulties facing the victims of last year’s wildfires. A home is engulfed in flames during the Eaton fire in the Altadena area of Los Angeles County, Calif., on Jan. 8, 2025. Josh Edelson/AFP via Getty Images Two areas outside Los Angeles were devastated by wildfires in January 2025. In the Palisades fire, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection reported that 6,831 structures were lost, 973 were damaged, and 12 people died. When combined with the nearby Eaton fire, which ignited in Altadena, north of Los Angeles, on Jan. 7, 2025, and claimed 18 lives, the two fires destroyed more than 12,000 structures. “I have just met with various Political Representatives of the tragedy that took place in California concerning the burning of thousands of once beautiful homes,” Trump wrote in a March 31 post on Truth Social. “ It was brought to my attention that the Insurance Companies, in particular, State Farm, have been absolutely horrible to people that have been paying them large Premiums for years, only to find that when tragedy struck, these horrendous Companies were not there to help!” Trump said he had asked Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin to give him a list of the insurance companies that acted “swiftly, courageously, and bravely” and those that were “particularly bad.” The California Department of Insurance said in a June 2025 statement that Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara had launched a formal investigation into State Farm’s handling of thousands of insurance claims. “ Some troubling patterns that my staff will investigate include the frequent reassignment of multiple adjusters with little continuity in com...

Shares of AI data center infrastructure specialist Penguin Solutions (NASDAQ: PENG ) are well up today following Wednesday evening's post-close release of the company's fiscal Q2 results. While revenue and operating income both fell year over year, each also topped analysts' expectations. Unexpectedly solid guidance for the full fiscal year, however, is seemingly responsible for the bulk of today's jump. For the three months ending in February, Penguin turned revenue of $343 million into a per-share non-GAAP profit of $0.52. Sales fell 6% year over year, and income was essentially flat. But, analysts were only calling for a top line of $339 million and earnings of $0.42 per share. The company's advanced computing arm's sales fell more than its integrated memory business expanded during the quarter. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

imaginima/iStock via Getty Images Fears of peak memory are overblown in our opinion, and one victim since reporting its stellar earnings just a few weeks ago has been Micron Technology, Inc. ( MU ). Make no mistake at all that Micron’s earnings power has simply been incredible, and the growth so rapid, the market is questioning whether it is sustainable. Despite management’s positive outlook and the consensus views from analysts on the growth, Micron still has a muted multiple relative to many other names in the AI revolution. In fact, the stock rallied tremendously off of a rare public Strong Buy call we made on Micron in late 2025, but has since given all those wonderful gains back. As members of BAD BEAT Investing know , we take some of those profits when we are up over 25% in a short-time, but do like to let a house position run. But the reset has been painful. Data by YCharts With that said, Micron has been a very popular ticker in our chatrooms, and we have provided a number of thoughts. The day shares dipped back to about $320 we noted the selloff as incredible, and that it was near the top of our list to buy once again. BAD BEAT Investing Chat Room While we have bounced mildly off of that recent take, we still think these levels are very buyable, and do not buy into the peak memory thesis. In this column we discuss reasons for the selloff and note the strong performance. In our opinion this has been caused by many people taking Alphabet/Google ( GOOG ) at their word that less memory will be needed due to TurboQuant , and fears that higher capex out of Micron will not bear fruit. Let us discuss. The thesis here is simple for Micron and that is its position in the broader AI stack. The company sells memory and storage solutions that are used all over the place. Not only in data center cloud servers, but also in many devices for office, personal use, cars and trucks, etc. With AI being utilized more and more the amount of memory needed to run inquiries and mode...
