Beijing came under sharp criticism on Tuesday at a highly contentious US Congressional hearing on the influence of foreign funds in US politics – but so did US President Donald Trump The hearing by the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, which shapes tax and tariff legislation, comes amid deep partisanship and Trump’s declining popularity ahead of a November midterm election “Tax-exempt organisations funded by foreign donors are exploiting very lucrative US tax benefits to incite violence and unrest in our communities and destabilise our political process,” said Jason Smith, chairman of the committee, a Republican from Missouri. “Many of these tax-exempt groups also have documented ties to hostile foreign governments, like the Communist Party.” Advertisement Republicans called out, among others, the “Singham Network”, an informal complex of non-profit organisations, media outlets and think tanks funded by Neville Roy Singham, an American millionaire and former software entrepreneur based in Shanghai Specifically, they accused it of donating US$20 million to the People’s Forum, a New York-based civic group, to support protests and support left-wing causes and push pro-Beijing narratives and anti-US propaganda. The Forum did not immediately respond to a request for comment. ‘We have a deal’: Trump claims breakthrough after ‘12 out of 10’ talks with Xi Jinping ‘We have a deal’: Trump claims breakthrough after ‘12 out of 10’ talks with Xi Jinping Democrats countered that removing malign foreign influence was desirable, but Tuesday’s hearing was more about targeting progressive groups selectively, rather than dealing with more obvious targets.

is transportation editor with 10+ years of experience who covers EVs, public transportation, and aviation. His work has appeared in The New York Daily News and City & State. Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. It seems clear at this point to say that Donald Trump does not want to spend a single dime on EV charging. He tried to freeze $5 billion in funding for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, which was approved as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. And when a federal judge ordered the government to unfreeze the funds, his administration came up with a new tactic to stall the plan. EV chargers must now be built in the US, with components that also originate in the US, in order to receive federal funding, the US Department of Transportation said today. Under the proposal, EV chargers would need to boost their US-made parts from 55 percent to 100 percent in order to be eligible for NEVI funding. But industry and environmental groups say the new requirements would essentially stop EV charging build-out in its tracks. “This proposal does not meet industry where it is today and may discourage further investment in the production of U.S.-made EV chargers,” Albert Gore, executive director of the Zero Emissions Transportation Association, said in a statement. “Ultimately, this will hinder the job growth that Buy America is intended to create.” The reason, of course, is that most of the supply chain for EV charging equipment runs through China. Thanks to heavy government subsidies and years of investment, Chinese companies have largely supplied most of the EV charging stations that are installed in the US, Europe, and elsewhere. The reason, of course, is that most of the supply chain for EV charging equipment runs through China. And while US manufacturers are getting up to speed thanks to NEVI, there isn’t a single EV charging station online today that can say 100 percent of its materials a...

One man and a much-anticipated trim. But it started to feel, for Manchester United, Ilett's long wait for the club to win five games in a row had become an unwanted irritation. There was a time when it seemed as though United were prepared to play along with the gag. They did, after all, include a barbers' room in their £50m training ground upgrade at Carrington. What better way to have a bit of fun? Now though, in public and private, they are having nothing to do with it. Skipper Bruno Fernandes and manager Michael Carrick were dismissive when asked about it after victory number four, against Tottenham - although Carrick's admission he had been told of the saga by his kids hints at the wider attraction. Ilett's daily social media updates and the before and now pictures scattered across the digital sphere were initially quite amusing but serve as a reminder of how bad the team's form has been. Ilett plans to donate his hair to the Little Princess Trust and set up a JustGiving page for the children's cancer charity, for those who wanted to offer financial support. His initial fundraising target of £500 for the the Little Princess Trust has been exceeded significantly and by Tuesday afternoon stood at £6,132. As attention-grabbing initiatives go, his pledge didn't seem especially outrageous when he made it. United had completed five-in-a-row eight months earlier, the 11th time it had happened - including the end of the 2015-16 season and start of 2016-17 - in just under 11 years following Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement. The longest gap was from 25 January 2019, when United won the last of their eight successive wins following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's arrival and the end of five victories in a row under the Norwegian in April 2021. It says a lot for United's chronic form since Ilett made his vow that they had only won three in a row twice until Carrick arrived, changed the formation and turned his old club into winners once more. To put that into context, United's fellow...

Key Points Since 2001, this oil and gas company has raised its dividend every year by 21% on average. It looks well-positioned to maintain that pace in 2026 even if an expected energy supply glut hits markets. 10 stocks we like better than Canadian Natural Resources › There's a saying on Wall Street: "Dividends don't lie." Just about every financial metric can be fudged or spun by management, but the dividends either arrive in a brokerage account, or they don't. Since 2000, the S&P 500 companies have grown their payouts by 376%, or an average of 4.76% each year. That's kept ahead of the 92% inflation seen in that time frame. Still, after over 25 years, it's nothing to write home about. Thankfully, some companies have offered income growth that's orders of magnitude greater. Coming in near the top of the list is Calgary-based oil and gas firm Canadian Natural Resources (NYSE: CNQ). 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 » 6,900% dividend growth in 25 years In 2001, Canadian Natural Resources began paying a dividend of $0.00625 per share, with the payout tripling within five years. By 2011, its dividend had grown by 620% since 2001's payouts, and by 2021, its dividend had mushroomed 553% from 2011's levels. Today, its quarterly payouts are up exactly 100% from those of five years ago. Since 2001, not only has the company raised its dividend every year, but it's done so by an average of 21% each year. All told, its dividend has grown 9,300% since 2001. Of the hundreds of income stocks I've analyzed over the years, I've never seen a company like this. Can the streak continue? Canadian Natural Resources generated an operating cash flow of $14.8 billion last year, which easily covers the $3.6 billion needed to pay its current dividend. In fact, the company could grow its payouts by another 21% in...

It is impossible to imagine what American skater Maxim Naumov has been through in the last 12 months. Just over a year ago, his parents - former world champion pairs skaters Vadim Naumov and Evgenia Shishkova - were among 67 people killed in a plane crash in Washington DC. Of those on board the flight, 28 were athletes, coaches or parents connected to US figure skating. Naumov said that his dream to make Team USA was one of the last things he spoke about with his parents before they were killed. "They are my superheroes, my role models, and my biggest support system. I just wanted to make them proud here," he told the BBC after his performance. "My dad said: 'Everything is practice until it is the Olympics'. I can't describe to you in words how much I just felt what he said. Also, there are truly no words for being able to step up to the occasion, I just wish that I made them proud." He made it to the Games, and was second on the ice on Tuesday, dancing to Nocturne No. 20 by Frederic Chopin. After a slight slip on his triple axel, Naumov regained composure and skated a technically solid routine. As he finished, the 24-year-old looked to the sky on his knees with tears in his eyes as the arena erupted. With a huge smile, cameras captured him saying "thank you" – perhaps to those both inside the arena, and in another place. And it was good enough for the judges, who awarded Naumov a season best of 85.65 points for the performance – enough for a spot in the top 24 and a place in the free skate on Friday. As the scores came in, Naumov held up a picture of his late parents with him as a young child. "I bring it everywhere that I go," he said of the image, which showed him holding hands with his parents while stood next to an ice rink. "It is in my bag, so it is literally right here on my heart. "They deserve to be here, to be right next to me, to look up at the scores together and say: 'Look at what we just did!'"

tupungato/iStock Editorial via Getty Images That was quite a week, wasn't it? I'm a Microsoft ( MSFT ) shareholder myself, but I kept it on Hold since July 2025. Many investors challenged me for it in the comment section, but I just couldn't keep buying MSFT at high $400 per share or even $500 per share. That's why I wrote my first "Hold" article in July 2025 and followed up with another Hold in January 2026. I argued that the ride couldn't last forever , I wasn't satisfied with MSFT's valuation, and I did not believe the entry point was attractive enough to ensure double-digit returns. Don't get me wrong, I was and I still am satisfied with the business model and strategic initiatives. That's why I did not sell my shares, and I keep holding onto them. Seeking Alpha Since my first Hold on Microsoft, I've watched its stock price decline by over 20%. I don't view it as a pleasant experience as a shareholder, but I'm not surprised; that's actually what I expected. With that dynamic valuation change (even since my latest article, over a 12% stock price drop in less than a month) and new data available, I decided to prepare a follow-up article. I won't keep you waiting - Microsoft is a Buy for me. I'm upgrading my rating, and I bought more shares at the end of January and at the end of last week. I like to put my money where my mouth is; that's why I'm informing you about that. I even gave the note about my first transaction under the last article. Seeking Alpha My Take on Valuation Has Shifted - Thank You, Mr. Market I love the Mr. Market metaphor by Benjamin Graham. Its key assumption is that Mr. Market is not reasonable. I believe it can offer prices that are either too high or too low for a given business. Without that, active investing (cherry-picking stocks) wouldn't make much sense. I will base my comment on two valuation metrics that I find the most common in M&A processes and in the investing world (I'm an M&A advisor): forward-looking P/E and EV/EBITDA. Data by...

Walmart Inc.’s been the biggest kid on the retail playground for decades. So when its market capitalization — the combined value of all of its outstanding shares — topped $1 trillion last week, it was a brick-and-mortar breakthrough, but also confirmation of what everybody knows. What’s more surprising is that Walmart, right now, is packing more investment bang for its buck than its online rival Amazon, which is still winning on market cap. It takes a little math to suss it all out. You May Also Like Apple became the world’s first trillion-dollar company in 2018 and now there are a dozen companies in the 13-digit club on Wall Street, including Nvidia ($4.6 trillion), Google-parent Alphabet ($3.9 trillion) and Amazon ($2.2 trillion). While market cap is a key data point to watch, it’s probably not the most important one. To get a sense of not just how big a company is on Wall Street, but how strongly it resonates with investors, one has to look at a multiple of earnings. The standard is enterprise value-to-EBITDA — the value of all a company’s stock and debt divided by its annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. That measures just how much investors are willing to pump into a business, either through debt or equity, for every dollar of EBITDA. For Walmart, where investors invested about $23.60 for every dollar of EBITDA, its enterprise multiple is 23.6-times. It doesn’t zing the way a trillion does in a headline, but it’s a big number. Amazon, for instance, has an EBITDA multiple of 14.2-times — near the top of the range for most fashion companies, even the strongest ones. Tapestry Inc. trades at 14.3-times, just ahead of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton’s 12.2-times. The outlier is Nike Inc., trading at 19.4-times. Much more common in retail these days is an EV/EBITDA multiple in the midsingle digits, like Macy’s Inc. and Kohl’s Corp., which both trade at 5.9-times. Walmart is trading closer to Google-parent Alphabet, which sits at 24....

SPLB has delivered a stronger 1-year return and higher dividend yield, and has also shown a smaller maximum drawdown than SCHQ. SCHQ holds far fewer securities, with a heavy tilt toward government debt, while SPLB is much broader and includes a range of corporate issuers. 10 stocks we like better than Schwab Strategic Trust - Schwab Long-Term U.s. Treasury ETF › The Schwab Long-Term U.S. Treasury ETF (NYSEMKT:SCHQ) and the State Street SPDR Portfolio Long Term Corporate Bond ETF (NYSEMKT:SPLB) differ most in their underlying bond exposure, with SPLB offering corporate credit risk and a slightly higher yield. At the same time, SCHQ is more concentrated in U.S. Treasuries and carries lower expenses. SPLB and SCHQ both aim to provide diversified exposure to long-duration fixed income. Still, their approaches diverge: SPLB holds investment-grade corporate bonds with maturities of 10 years or more, while SCHQ focuses squarely on the long-term U.S. Treasury market. This comparison explores how their costs, returns, risks, and portfolios stack up for investors seeking long-dated bond exposure.

natatravel The silver market is heading for a sixth consecutive year of structural deficit, while global silver demand is expected to remain steady in 2026, the Silver Institute industry association said Tuesday. The silver deficit is forecast at 67M oz, the Silver Institute said in the preliminary estimate produced for it by the Metals Focus consultancy. Industrial silver fabrication is seen declining by 2% in 2026 to a four-year low of 650M oz, led by efforts to use less and outright substitution away from silver in the solar PV sector, while jewelry demand is projected to fall for the second straight year, declining by 9% to 178M oz, its lowest level since 2020. Total global silver supply is expected to rise 1.5% to a decade high of 1.05B oz, mine production is forecast to increase 1% to 820M oz, and recycling is seen gaining 7%, exceeding 200M oz for the first time since 2012. Gold and silver futures fell on profit-taking Tuesday ahead of tomorrow's January jobs report, which was delayed because of the partial government shutdown, and a weaker-than-expected reading could add pressure for the Federal Reserve to cut rates, thus possibly supporting precious metals prices. " We're seeing a light pullback or consolidation ahead of a bevy of key economic data coming out later this week," HIgh Ridge Futures director of metals trading David Meger said in a note, adding that geopolitical tensions and expectations for lower interest rates likely will continue to provide support for gold. " Silver ETF outflows are keeping silver vulnerable to volatility in the near term and are key to track, but an undersupplied market suggests a recovery in the coming months," Standard Chartered analysts said in a note. Front-month Nymex gold futures ( XAUUSD:CUR ) for February delivery managed to stay just over the $5,000 mark, closing -0.9% to $5,003.80/oz, while front-month Nymex February silver ( XAGUSD:CUR ) remains well off from its record high reached January 26, ending -2.2% to $8...
