Key Points The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) criteria ensure it seeks out high-quality companies rather than just high dividend yields. Energy and Industrial companies make up around 31% of SCHD. SCHD has averaged over 12% annual total returns since it began trading on the market. 10 stocks we like better than Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF › Most people wouldn't turn down the chance to hit the $800,000 mark, especially if they could do so relatively passively. It's not something that will happen overnight, but with consistency and patience, an ETF like the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSEMKT: SCHD) can help make it happen at its current pace. As an added bonus, hitting that mark could mean $24,000 in annual dividend payouts. That's money that can be put to good use, especially during retirement. It's the gift that keeps on giving. 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 » Why invest in SCHD? SCHD mirrors the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index, which picks its companies based on financial stability, strong cash flow, and a proven track record. It's why SCHD contains many "boring" businesses rather than younger, "flashier" companies. Over 19% of its holdings are energy companies, and over 12% are industrial companies. Its top five holdings are Lockheed Martin (4.63%), Chevron (4.19%), Merck & Co. (4.11%), Home Depot (4.07%), and Bristol Myers Squibb (4.05%) These companies may not produce triple-digit returns in a short period, but they provide reliability that you should value in dividend stocks. This is especially true when you're investing long-term, which should always be the goal with dividend stocks and ETFs. Since SCHD's criteria act as a natural vetter, you don't have to worry much about yield traps. How SCHD can get you to $800,000 Since SCHD began trading in October 2011, it averaged 12.6% annual total returns. Past results don't guarantee future perfo...

House This Week Passed $839 Billion Defense Bill Bursting With Pork Authored by Alan Mosley via AntiWar.com, The House of Representatives on Thursday approved an $838.7 billion fiscal 2026 defense spending bill, moving one of the largest appropriations measures in US history toward final passage in the Senate. In a 341-88 vote that crossed party lines , lawmakers advanced the sprawling defense and related appropriations package, underscoring persistent majorities in both parties willing to expand military outlays even amid growing concerns about fiscal discipline. The total exceeds the Pentagon’s original FY 2026 budget request by $8.4 billion but still falls far short of more than $50 billion in additional funds the Defense Department sought after submitting its budget to Congress. That gap reflects, among other things, a stark $26.5 billion in “funding discrepancies” between the Pentagon’s request and the broader reconciliation bill – essentially accounting errors that left vital programs underfunded and were partly addressed by the House’s topline increase. via Openthebooks.com To fiscal conservatives and critics of Washington’s military spending consensus, those discrepancies signal deep structural problems in defense budgeting: an inability to accurately forecast needs, manage programs, or adhere to prudent fiscal stewardship. Lining up nearly three dozen major weapon systems, force structures, and procurement lines every year, the Pentagon’s budget process has consistently produced overruns and unpredictable spending swings that funnel money to entrenched interests rather than identified national priorities. Yet the House markup did not merely bridge gaps; it added money to programs that the services themselves did not request – or, in some cases, explicitly asked to cancel . Lawmakers tacked on $897 million for the Navy’s sixth-generation F/A-XX fighter program , directed a contract award for engineering and development, and preserved $1.1 billion for the Air...

格隆汇1月25日｜据期货日报，本周，碳酸锂期货价格持续上扬，突破180000元/吨大关，创阶段性新高。截至1月23日收盘，主力合约价格报收181520元/吨。业内人士认为，近期碳酸锂期货价格持续上涨是国内供应收缩预期与需求向好态势的共振表现。 在价格持续上涨的同时，市场分歧也开始加大。下游企业对当前的高价接受程度有限，采购积极性也随之降低。“我们觉得当前的价格处于相对高位，担心过早采购买到高价货。”一位材料厂的采购负责人表示，他们仍处于观望状态，希望等到心仪的价格再加大采购力度。 与此同时，市场也在担忧，持续高价会刺激一些潜在供应重新进入市场。“2025年价格持续下行后，有部分成本较高的产能因为价格较低而被迫停产，但持续低价的时间并不长，这部分产能并没有出清。”余烁认为，当前价格对供应增量的刺激较强，价格快速上涨后，可能会刺激这部分产能重启。

原本固化的“职位导向”需要转向“技能导向”，技能比职位头衔更能体现一个人的价值 【财新网】 “AI影响的不只是职场新人，有时也会波及资深员工。”近日，人力资源咨询公司美世（Mercer）高级合伙人、全球转型业务负责人瑞文·杰苏萨森（Ravin Jesuthasan）在世界经济论坛期间接受财新采访时介绍了当前AI对人力需求产生影响的模式和后果，以及企业和个人的应对方式。 在某些业务场景中，新人能借助AI实现高产出，同时用人成本更低。比如客服场景，AI已经能在通话中实时指导员工，入职三个月的员工可以和三年工龄的员工一样高效，这和很多公司“不招新人”的情况刚好相反。

1月19日至23日，A股稳中有升。A股处于业绩预告披露高峰期，多家上市公司预告2025年“成绩单”亮眼，股价随之抬升。同时，市场热点众多，从商业航天、AI应用到贵金属、电工电网、存储等，板块轮动、切换迅速。本周机构调研也多围绕这些热门赛道展开。据统计，截至1月23日18时，共有超过150家A股公司披露本周接待机构调研情况。接待调研机构数量最多的是大金重工，公司海外海上风电业务表现受到超过200家机构关注。（证券时报）

The memory shortage could last into 2027, but this stock is priced like it won't. Demand for more chips and other components in data centers has created tremendous opportunities for leading semiconductor companies. There is growing demand for advanced chips, but not all chip stocks are being valued the same. There is significant mispricing among some of the industry leaders. Investors are paying higher price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios for consistent performers like Nvidia, but lower earnings multiples for Micron Technology (MU +0.52%) -- even though Micron is growing earnings much faster right now. While Micron's lower valuation reflects the cyclical nature of the memory market, a shortage of memory for artificial intelligence (AI) chips is creating a massive upswing for Micron's growth. This upswing could last longer than investors expect, fueling more upside in Micron shares. Relative valuation to industry peers Investors might be fearful of buying at the top, given the stock's parabolic rise in the last six months. But Micron shares offer an attractive valuation, trading at just 11 times forward earnings estimates. This is lower than Nvidia's forward P/E of 24 and Advanced Micro Devices' forward multiple of 35. Moreover, Wall Street analysts project Micron's earnings to grow at a 50% annualized rate over the next few years, higher than AMD's 45% and Nvidia's 36%. Micron may offer more growth at a better price. The question is how sustainable the current demand for advanced memory products is. Micron offers a favorable risk-reward trade-off Wall Street expects Micron's earnings to surge 294% this year to $32.67 per share, then rise another 27% next year to $41.54 per share. The rebound is being fueled by higher memory prices, driven by demand for data center graphics processing units (GPUs), where Micron is a supplier to Nvidia.

Russian strikes knock out heat in freezing Kyiv as peace talks continue toggle caption Danylo Antoniuk/AP KYIV — Thousands of apartment buildings in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv remain without heating, electricity and water once again, after Russia launched hundreds of drones and missiles at Ukraine's two largest cities early Saturday morning. "Every such Russian strike on our energy infrastructure shows that there must be no delays in supplying air defense," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on social media. "We are counting on the reaction and assistance of all our allies." The strikes killed at least one person and injured four others, said Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko. The assault came as envoys from Ukraine, Russia and the U.S. held tripartite talks in the United Arab Emirates on ending Russia's long war on Ukraine. Sponsor Message Zelenskyy said in a post on social media that the talks were "constructive" and that military representatives brought up issues to discuss. "Provided there is readiness to move forward — and Ukraine is ready — further meetings will take place, potentially as early as next week," he wrote. Despite the talks, Russia has continued to strike Ukraine's energy grid, inflicting severe damage during the coldest winter since the full-scale invasion nearly four years ago. Temperatures in Kyiv have often dipped below -10C (14F). NPR's bureau heard several attack drones flying over Kyiv early Saturday morning, along with air defense units trying to shoot them down. Explosions continued for several hours. Writing on social media, Klitschko said that half of Kyiv's apartment buildings had been left without heating after the strikes. Many residents had only recently regained heat after earlier attacks on Jan. 9 and Jan. 20 left them in the cold. Kyiv relies on a massive centralized district heating system that supplies heat to thousands of apartment buildings, some as high as 25 stories.

又一家日本“电视大王”，开始黯然退场。 1月20日晚，TCL电子在港交所发布公告，宣布与索尼公司签署意向备忘录，计划成立一家承接索尼家庭娱乐业务的合资公司，由TCL电子持股51%、索尼持股49%。 索尼将旗下全球家庭娱乐业务的主导权交给了TCL，接下来，新公司将在全球范围进行从开发、设计、制造到销售、服务的全链条运营。 网友感慨道，“Sony”已成“Tony”，那个曾经以画质与格调主导中国高端电视时代的日系巨头，终究还是躲不过时代的洪流。 只是，此番索尼将电视业务交给TCL，真的只是一场悲情的落幕吗？ 要知道，“重生”之后的索尼，将拥有一件更坚固的中国制造“盔甲”，而TCL也将获得一张叩开欧美高端家庭影音市场的“通行证”。 一个卸下重负，一个借势登高，故事没有终结，只是主角换了打法。 日本电视玩不转了 此次TCL与索尼合作消息传出后，消费者纷纷感慨一代“电视大王”就此告别于江湖。但其实在无人留意时，那些曾经的日本家电巨头早已悄然告别历史舞台。 上世纪八九十年代，日本电视曾是无数中国家庭的“体面之选”。索尼、松下、东芝、夏普并称“四大天王”，其中，索尼以其核心的特丽珑技术，一度成为了彩色电视的画质标杆。 除此之外，索尼在摄影、音频、消费电子等领域也展示出强大的技术创新能力，通过不断推出领先于行业的消费电子产品，逐渐在消费者心中建立起难以撼动的“索尼生态”。 不过，随着中国电视品牌的崛起，它们逐渐攻克了显示技术、图像处理芯片等技术领域，能以更低的价格、更先进的技术，提供相似甚至更好的体验。 对消费者而言，情怀终究敌不过现实，于是，日本电视开始了“漫长的告别”。 2016年，夏普电视归入台湾富士康旗下；2017年，东芝将电视业务卖给了海信；去年，松下宣布出售包括电视在内的边缘业务部门，但还没有找到合适的买家。 从十年前开始，这些日系家电巨头的命运转折点便已经出现： 一方面，随着流媒体服务和视频分享平台蓬勃发展，智能手机、平板电脑等相关数字娱乐产品，正在逐步取代电视在家庭娱乐场景中的核心地位。 根据洛图科技数据，2025年中国电视市场品牌整机的出货量为3289.5万台，同比下滑8.5%，创下了近16年来的市场新低，国内彩电市场走入“冰点”。 另一方面，国内电视市场的竞争也日渐激烈。2025年，索尼电视在中国市场的份额已不足2%；而TCL、海信、小米三大中国品牌的全球电视出货...

Palantir Technologies (PLTR) is back in focus after two major commercial wins: an expanded multi year alliance with HD Hyundai in Korea and a role in new sovereign AI data centers across EMEA, ahead of its upcoming earnings. Despite the HD Hyundai expansion and the new sovereign AI role, Palantir's 30 day share price return of 12.65% and 90 day share price return of 8.14% indicate fading near term momentum. At the same time, the 1 year total shareholder return of 114.74% and very large 3 year total shareholder return underline how strong the longer term run has been. If Palantir's AI deals have caught your eye, this could be a good moment to see what else is breaking through in the sector with . With revenue growing at about 26% and net income at about 30% annually, yet the share price drifting over the past 3 months, the key question is simple: is Palantir on sale here, or is the market already pricing in years of AI driven growth? Advertisement Most Popular Narrative: 10.2% Overvalued According to the most followed narrative on Palantir Technologies, a fair value of $153.97 sits below the recent close at $169.60. This frames the current enthusiasm in a different light. Palantir remains an exceptional company with groundbreaking technology and a clear mission. I have high conviction in its long-term potential and believe it could evolve into another Salesforce, Oracle, or SAP. However, even when factoring in flawless execution and strong future growth, the stock appears overvalued following recent price surges. Curious what kind of revenue climb, margin profile, and future earnings multiple it takes to justify that fair value gap? The narrative leans on unusually strong growth assumptions, aggressive profitability targets, and a premium future valuation that is usually reserved for a small group of software leaders. Result: Fair Value of $153.97 (OVERVALUED) However, that story could change quickly if commercial growth cools or government contract momentum softens,...

开年又见大并购。 近日北京市监局官网公示，瑞得时尚拟收购北京八达岭奥莱75%股权，交易完成后与原股东形成共同控制格局。其中，作为买方收购主体的瑞得时尚，正是源自博裕投资。 这意味着，继北京SKP后，博裕在高端购物中心再次落子。而去年最为轰动的消费并购案——星巴克中国，一度引发全球PE大围猎，最终也在2025年11月花落博裕投资。 无疑，2026年消费并购潮依旧。 最火奥特莱斯，要卖了 距北京城区55公里，紧邻京藏高速，八达岭奥莱坐落于北京昌平区南口镇。 （图源：八达岭奥莱官网） 这是北京华联集团打造的首个奥特莱斯商业项目，建筑面积11.5万平米，可租面积5.2万平米，采用“花园小镇”开放式街区设计，致力于打造一个定位高端、折扣低廉、体验优质的奥特莱斯。 作为华北地区首家真正意义上的“精品奥莱”，自2015年9月开业至今，八达岭奥莱引进近300个国际名品、时尚名品、国内精品及特色餐饮品牌，其中不乏Prada、Gucci、Burberry、BVLGARI等国际一线。 每当节假日或促销活动，八达岭奥莱的停车场往往车水马龙，一位难求，各大品牌店门前更是排起长队。 到底有多火爆？ 数据显示，八达岭奥莱开业当年实现销售额18亿元，在当年一众新开业奥莱项目中表现突出。2024年营业收入约28亿元，利润率34%。2025年十一假期期间，八达岭奥莱7天销售额达5.2亿，客流量62万人次，创下历史新高。 我们把目光拉回到本次交易——根据公开信息，交易前精品奥莱持有目标公司88.75%股权，单独控制目标公司；而交易后，瑞得时尚间接持有目标公司75%股权，精品奥莱间接持有目标公司25%股权，瑞得时尚与精品奥莱共同控制目标公司。 精品奥莱投资有限公司与华联集团关联紧密，是负责八达岭奥莱运营的核心平台。2015年刚开业时，八达岭奥莱就是由华联集团、首旅集团、昌平国资三方联合出资，后经两轮股权重组后，华联集团通过精品奥莱逐步成为控股方。 买方瑞得时尚，成立于2025年，则是博裕投资为整合其高端零售资产而量身打造的核心平台。悄然间，博裕投资又拿下了一座“顶流”购物中心。 从SKP到星巴克中国 并购之王 回顾去年的并购大潮，博裕是最不容忽视的身影。 当中最为轰动的一笔，是将星巴克中国业务控股权收入囊中。2025年，星巴克中国决定出手中国业务股权，由此引来了PE围猎。彼时星巴克中国背后排起了长长的竞购...

芬兰总理奥尔波（中）星期天（1月25日）凌晨乘机抵达北京首都国际机场，开启为期四天的访华行程。 （新华社） 芬兰总理奥尔波（Petteri Orpo）星期天（1月25日）凌晨乘机抵达北京首都国际机场，开启为期四天的访华行程。 据央视新闻报道，访问期间，中国国家主席习近平主席将同奥尔波会见，总理李强、全国人大常委会委员长赵乐际将分别同他会谈、会见，就双边关系和共同关心的问题深入交换意见。 芬兰是最早承认并同中国建交的西方国家之一，也是第一个同中国签订政府间贸易协定的西方国家。近年来，两国面向未来的新型合作伙伴关系不断深化，各领域务实合作持续推进。2025年，中芬双边贸易额超过80亿美元（101.8亿新元），双向投资存量超过230亿美元。 中国商务部发言人介绍，访问期间，商务部将与芬兰签署谅解备忘录，加强两国创新企业合作委员会工作，双方企业还将签署多项商业合作协议。 据了解，奥尔波此次将率20余家企业高管随访，涵盖机械、森林工业、创新、清洁能源、食品等芬兰优势领域。 中国外交部发言人此前在谈到奥尔波访华时表示，北京高度重视中芬关系发展，愿同赫尔辛基密切高层交往，巩固政治互信，加强经贸合作，促进人文交流，在多边事务中增进相互理解与协作，共同推动两国关系迈上新台阶。

Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI) was one of the hottest quantum computing stocks in 2025, with its shares climbing more than 45%, and they are already up more than 10% in 2026, as of this writing. However, I wouldn't touch the stock with a 10-foot pole. In the world of quantum computing, Rigetti is perhaps best known for the speed of its quantum computing systems, which have been estimated to be more than 1,000 times faster than those from competitor IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) . However, where the company trails is in accuracy. One of the biggest problems facing quantum computing today is that the systems are very error-prone. Because quantum computers use quantum bits, or qubits , instead of traditional computing bits, the systems are much less stable. Traditional computing bits are in a fixed state of being a 0 or a 1, but qubits are in what is called a state of superposition, which means they have the potential to be either until acted upon. This is analogous to a spinning coin that can be either heads or tails. However, this state also leaves qubits vulnerable to failure due to outside forces like vibrations and temperature changes.

格隆汇1月25日｜长期以来，马斯克旗下电动汽车巨头特斯拉一直维持超高的市盈率，远远高于美股“七巨头”中的另外六家公司。Robinhood首席投资官斯蒂芬妮·吉尔德表示：“如果你试图用估值、盈利预期之类的传统指标来看，它真的……不是这么一回事。”对于支撑着Robinhood平台的散户群体来说，答案显然是“加入”。目前，特斯拉是该应用上交易量第二大的股票，仅次于人工智能(AI)芯片龙头英伟达。

政府以短期租約形式出租未納入長遠規劃的閒置官地，原意是善用土地資源並增加庫房收入。審計署2020年曾發表的報告揭示，此政策在執行上存在明顯監管漏洞，導致大量租約變相長期化，偏離政策初衷。 租期超過七年佔八成 最長佔用達55年 根據政府指引，短期租約的固定租期一般不應超過7年。但審計署發現，截至2019年10月，地政總署管理的5,590份短期租約中，高達4,565份（82%）的租戶維持不變超過7年。其中，更有2,353份（42%）租戶維持不變超過20年，最長的一份租約甚至已持續55年。 審計署批評，地政總署並未系統性地備存和分析這些租約能夠長期續租的原因，亦未充分審視其土地用途是否符合法定的規劃要求。這種情況令人關注，短期租約制度是否已被變相利用，成為長期佔用政府土地的途徑。 空置用地管理不善 資料披露不全阻申請 除了租約監管問題，政府對空置用地的管理亦被指存在缺失。截至2019年9月，地政總署列明有955幅適合作短期租約用途的空置政府用地。但審計署發現，相關清單資料不全：部分適合作租用的用地未被納入名單，同時又有部分不適用的用地被錯誤列入。 審計署曾實地視察17幅面積超過1公頃的空置用地，發現普遍存在管理問題：71%的用地圍網損毀、59%的用地入口閘門打開或無上鎖、41%的用地有違法棄置廢物，更有用地被懷疑遭非法佔用於泊車。 此外，政府在「地理資訊地圖」網頁上披露的用地資料亦被指不足，例如未能全面提供地形、植被或通道狀況等基本信息。這種資訊不透明的狀況，不利於有興趣的團體（特別是非政府機構）了解用地實況並提交申請，變相削弱了土地短期善用的政策目標。 新聞透視 星期六 晚上7:00 翡翠台 節目重溫 - 新聞透視

The stock market tends to reward time and consistency. Most people wouldn't turn down the chance to hit the $800,000 mark, especially if they could do so relatively passively. It's not something that will happen overnight, but with consistency and patience, an ETF like the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD 0.10%) can help make it happen at its current pace. As an added bonus, hitting that mark could mean $24,000 in annual dividend payouts. That's money that can be put to good use, especially during retirement. It's the gift that keeps on giving. Why invest in SCHD? SCHD mirrors the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index, which picks its companies based on financial stability, strong cash flow, and a proven track record. It's why SCHD contains many "boring" businesses rather than younger, "flashier" companies. Over 19% of its holdings are energy companies, and over 12% are industrial companies. Its top five holdings are Lockheed Martin (4.63%), Chevron (4.19%), Merck & Co. (4.11%), Home Depot (4.07%), and Bristol Myers Squibb (4.05%) These companies may not produce triple-digit returns in a short period, but they provide reliability that you should value in dividend stocks. This is especially true when you're investing long-term, which should always be the goal with dividend stocks and ETFs. Since SCHD's criteria act as a natural vetter, you don't have to worry much about yield traps.

Past results don't guarantee future performance, but if we assume it maintains a 12% annual average, $500 monthly investments could grow to over $800,000 in just over 25 years.

As the world inches back to a pre-WW2 order, the 'middle powers' face a grave new challenge Just now Share Save Allan Little Senior correspondent Share Save BBC I had been asked to give a key-note speech at a conference at Columbia University's Journalism School. It was January 2002. Two planes had been flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Centre months earlier and you could still feel how wounded the city felt. You could read it in the faces of New Yorkers you spoke to. In my speech I made a few opening remarks about what the United States had meant to me. "I was born 15 years after the Second World War," I said, "in a world America made. The peace and security and increasing prosperity of the Western Europe that I was born into was in large part an American achievement." American military might had won the war in the west, I continued. It had stopped the further westward expansion of Soviet power. I talked briefly about the transformational effect of the Marshall Plan, through which the United States had given Europe the means to rebuild its shattered economies, and to re-establish the institutions of democracy. AFP via Getty Images 'I was born 15 years after the Second World War in a world America made,' Allan Little told an audience. 'The peace and security and increasing prosperity of the Western Europe that I was born into was in large part an American achievement' I told the audience, composed mostly of students of journalism, that as a young reporter I had myself witnessed the inspiring culmination of all this in 1989 when I'd stood in Wenceslas Square in Prague. Back then I'd watched, awestruck, as Czechs and Slovaks demanded an end to Soviet occupation, and to a hated communist dictatorship, so that they too could be part of the community of nations that we called, simply, "the West", bound together by shared values, at the head of which sat the the United States of America. I looked up from my notes at the faces of the audience. Near the front of...
