Iran has kept firing missiles at Israel and Gulf nations, including a strike at a military base in Saudi Arabia that wounded at least 10 US service members US expects Iran operation to end in ‘weeks, not months’, says Marco Rubio Explosions have been heard in the Syrian capital Damascus and nearby areas as Israeli air defences intercepted Iranian missiles in Syrian airspace, Syrian state television reported early on Saturday. Hello and welcome to our continuing live coverage of the US-Israel war on Iran and the consequences for the region, the world and the global economy. Israel’s military says it has launched strikes on Iranian “regime targets” early on Saturday . An AFP journalist in Tehran reported hearing about 10 intense blasts. A brief military statement said Israeli forces were striking Iranian terror regime targets across Tehran, but did not elaborate on the attacks. Elon Musk joined a phone call between Donald Trump and India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, on Tuesday about the war in Iran, the New York Times reported on Friday, citing two US officials. It was unclear why Musk was on the call but a White House spokesperson said it was “productive”. UAE’s defense ministry early on Saturday said it is was engaging with incoming missiles and drones from Iran, Reuters reports. Donald Trump said the US does not “have to be there for Nato”. Speaking to an investment forum in Miami on Friday, the US president said he was upset that European Nato countries had declined to provide material support to the US in its war against Iran. Trump later claimed that Iran was “on the run” and “wants to make a deal”, adding that Tehran had sent the US 10 oil ships as part of negotiations to “make up for” their denial that any formal talks were taking place. Tehran still maintains there haven’t been any formal talks with Washington – only an exchange of messages through mediators such as Pakistan. Houthis in Yemen said their “finger is on the trigger” for military intervention...

Jannik Sinner defeats world No 3 6-3, 7-6 (4) in semi-final Jiri Lehecka beats Fils 6-2, 6-2 to reach maiden Masters 1000 decider For one intense, gripping hour inside Miami Open’s stadium court, Alexander Zverev outperformed the modest expectations of his sceptical audience. Under sustained, suffocating pressure from the best returner in the world, he held his own serve and kept Jannik Sinner honest as a competitive second set culminated in a tie-break. Eight points in, nothing could separate them. Things changed abruptly. At 4-4 on his own serve, Zverev set up a routine overhead that would have moved him narrowly ahead. Instead, the tension that comes with facing a player of Sinner’s calibre finally prevailed. Zverev crumbled, framing his smash into the net. Continue reading...

Black Women Bear Brunt Of Mass Layoffs With The Rise Of AI And The End Of DEI Over the course of the last decade, the great social debate has mostly revolved around the issue of "merit vs equity", or equality of opportunity vs equality of outcome.

Black Women Bear Brunt Of Mass Layoffs With The Rise Of AI And The End Of DEI Over the course of the last decade, the great social debate has mostly revolved around the issue of "merit vs equity", or equality of opportunity vs equality of outcome. For anyone with common sense it's clear that "equity" is a non-starter; a system which skews accomplishment and hands success to unqualified people based solely on their ethnicity, gender or sexual identity. The experiment has been disastrous for western civilization so far. Women in general and black women in particular were initially sought out by companies to fill DEI quotas that should not have existed in the first place. These quotas were instituted because governments and NGO's created the demand for them by offering numerous subsidies, tax breaks and special credit access. Corporations that met the DEI requirements would then have a financial edge on the competition, so everyone had to participate to avoid being surpassed by the other guy. One interesting side effect has been the encouragement of cultural delusion among certain demographics. The idea that minorities are somehow being "held back" by "white supremacy" and that they are at the same time far more accomplished than their oppressors is self perpetuating. One of the most common arguments heard in defense of the woke era was that "black women are the most educated and successful group" in America today. This claim, of course, relied heavily on DEI in college admissions and DEI in corporate hiring. Black women were by far the biggest beneficiaries of DEI practices. Furthermore, the explosion in women's wages and minority wages was thanks to a unique but brief employment market built on easy venture capital. This created an explosion in tech jobs, marketing jobs, HR and diversity positions, not to mention an avalanche of web media jobs promoting progressive ideologies. On top of all this, government hiring accelerated dramatically under the Biden Administrati...

Supatman/iStock via Getty Images Investment Thesis The Schwab US Large-Cap Growth ETF ( SCHG ) is down 10% YTD, but despite decelerating EPS surprises and higher energy costs, Wall Street analysts aren't budging. They're still predicting 23.36% aggregate EPS growth for SCHG, which is similar to the 24.12% figure from January , and haven't reacted to the fact that EPS surprises for SCHG's top ten holdings were half the level they were the prior quarter. To me, this is a mistake that's not yet priced in, and an extra quarter of weak EPS surprises combined with higher inflation would likely lead me to issue a rare "sell" rating on SCHG in the coming months. That said, long-term investors will likely view this as short-term noise. While I'm cautious about SCHG's current setup, I will highlight metrics that show how its portfolio is of substantially higher quality than its value counterpart and how high-quality portfolios have consistently done well over the last 20 years. Therefore, I still rate SCHG a "hold," but the rating is subject to change, and I look forward to explaining why in further detail below. SCHG Overview Strategy Discussion and Key Fund Facts SCHG has a 0.04% expense ratio, has $49 billion in assets, and tracks the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Growth Total Stock Market Index, which selects large-cap stocks with the following six characteristics: high projected P/E ratio high historical P/B ratio high projected three-to-five-year operating EPS growth high trailing five-year annualized sales growth high 21-quarter annualized EPS growth low indicated dividend yield The Index is float-adjusted market-cap-weighted, with individual security weights limited to 24% (and an aggregate 48% for those with weights above 4.5%). Reconstitutions are annual in September, and you'll notice that the screens aren't only growth-oriented. In actuality, SCHG's Index purposely selects poorly valued stocks that don't pay dividends. That's why it has only 1.01% overlap with the Schw...
