We began building the position during the first half of the year, at a time when sentiment toward the company was notably pessimistic and investor confidence was low. We viewed this environment not as a signal of business impairment, but as an opportunity to establish long-term ownership in a company we believe possesses exceptional competitive advantages, deep first-principles engineering capabilities, and a culture oriented toward long-duration value creation. Tesla is led by ...

A drug dealer has been jailed for seven years after rigging a series of houses with Home Alone-style booby traps to deter intruders. Ian Claughton, 60, was found guilty of several drugs and firearms offences in November after standing trial at Doncaster crown court alongside his ex-wife Lesley Claughton, who was given a 21-month sentence suspended for two years. The pair had been accused of being involved in the cannabis drug trade, growing and supplying the class B drug from three properties near Barnsley, South Yorkshire. During the trial the court heard that Claughton and his then wife “heavily fortified” the houses, all of which were in Grimethorpe, a village on the outskirts of the town, using tools such as modified crow scarers, fishing wire, stun guns and even a homemade flame-thrower. Addressing jurors in October, the prosecutor Helen Chapman said: “If you are sitting there thinking that this sounds a little like the film Home Alone, then you would be correct. In fact, that is precisely what Ian Claughton said he was aiming for when he told the police about these devices.” View image in fullscreen Claughton’s workshop had a sign outside warning intruders to ‘prepare and get themselves measured up for their own coffin’. Photograph: Yorkshire and Humber regional organised crime unit/PA Claughton, who was convicted of three counts of possessing prohibited firearms, possession of criminal property and possession of explosive substances, denied intending to hurt anyone who entered the houses, despite his workshop having a sign outside that warned intruders to “prepare and get themselves measured up for their own coffin”. He told the court he crafted the flame-thrower from a fire extinguisher to “wow” people during Bonfire Night. The couple were caught when Border Force officers intercepted parcels from China addressed to Lesley that contained imitation firearms. This led to police raiding the three addresses in May 2024. About 130 nearby properties were evacuated...

Over that period, the investment has compounded at approximately 19% annually. Meta did not become a large position by design. It earned its weight over time as the business consistently grew revenues, earnings, and cash flow. As intrinsic value compounded, the stock price followed.

IgorChus/iStock via Getty Images Intro Since my last article about Procter & Gamble ( PG ), where I gave this ticker a sell rating, the stock has first continued to fall, seemingly proving me right. My readers know that I do not care that much about such ultra-short-term periods. But nonetheless, I like to compare the development between articles for a first indication, motivating me to double-check my view. Looking at the stock chart, it seems PG might have bottomed, at least for now, around $140. From start (my previous analysis) to finish, however, not much has changed. We are back to zero, so to speak. Over the last twelve months, the stock continues to be even down by a bit more than 10%. Seeking Alpha My main fear is PG might be in for another ride lower. I justify this expectation with weak operating results for the company’s first half, as presented recently. Let’s not mince words; PG has practically turned into a no-growth company. This does not deserve a multiple north of 20x. The stock and its shareholders might experience an ugly nick amid dull returns. I downgrade from sell to strong sell. Anything but smooth results On the surface, it looks like PG delivers as expected. Nothing spectacular, but high predictability and, especially, no big negative surprises. Boring but stable. My view is a different one, though. After having gone through the latest set of results, I was surprised myself that the stock continued to grind higher. The first slide I want to show from their presentation seems to confirm that nothing really bad happened. Of course, 0% organic sales growth is not great either, but it is no disaster at first glance. The same for core EPS growth. 88% “adjusted FCF productivity,” on the other hand, reads like a strong achievement for a company that has everything under control. Let’s unpack these numbers a bit. PG Q2 2026 presentation The reality is that the recent organic sales “growth” of zero is the weakest result over the last several quarter...

Artificial intelligence is the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime. The time to invest in groundbreaking AI is now, and this stock is a steal! AI is eating the world—and the machines behind it are ravenous. Each ChatGPT query, each model update, each robotic breakthrough consumes massive amounts of energy. In fact, AI is already pushing global power grids to the brink. Wall Street is pouring hundreds of billions into artificial intelligence—training smarter chatbots, automating industries, and building the digital future. But there’s one urgent question few are asking: Where will all of that energy come from? AI is the most electricity-hungry technology ever invented. Each data center powering large language models like ChatGPT consumes as much energy as a small city. And it’s about to get worse. Even Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, issued a stark warning: “The future of AI depends on an energy breakthrough.” Elon Musk was even more blunt: “AI will run out of electricity by next year.” As the world chases faster, smarter machines, a hidden crisis is emerging behind the scenes. Power grids are strained. Electricity prices are rising. Utilities are scrambling to expand capacity. And that’s where the real opportunity lies… One little-known company—almost entirely overlooked by most AI investors—could be the ultimate backdoor play. It’s not a chipmaker. It’s not a cloud platform. But it might be the most important AI stock in the US owns critical energy infrastructure assets positioned to feed the coming AI energy spike.

Contributing to a 401(k) is one of the best ways to save for retirement, and this type of account has several distinct advantages. For one, it has a much higher contribution limit than many other retirement accounts. In 2025, you can invest up to $23,500 per year in a 401(k), while the contribution limit for traditional and Roth IRAs (individual retirement accounts) is just $7,000 per year. 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 » However, if you're contributing enough to max out your 401(k), it could potentially put you at a disadvantage in some ways. Here's how. Limited investment options could also limit your earnings When you invest in a 401(k), you will generally have a handful of investment options set by your company plan, such as target-date funds or other types of mutual funds. There's nothing necessarily wrong with these investments, but they offer little flexibility in where, specifically, you invest. If you prefer a more hands-on approach that is more likely to earn you above-average returns, it can be difficult, even impossible at times, to change your investments within a 401(k). Other investing accounts, including IRAs, have far more options. From broad-market index funds to industry-specific exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to individual stocks, there are loads of investments out there that most 401(k)s simply don't offer. With the right strategy, these investments have the potential to significantly outperform many mutual funds included in 401(k) plans. Also, many mutual funds found in 401(k)s have much higher fees compared to index funds and ETFs. Not only could you potentially earn more by investing in accounts outside of a 401(k), but you could potentially save thousands of dollars in fees, too. Early (and late) retirement can be more expensive If you plan to retire outside of your 60s and most or all of your savings are tied up in a 401(k), it can potential...

UBS lowered its outlook on the U.S. IT sector on Tuesday, striking a more cautious tone as it warned of "mixed investor reactions" to high capital expenditure and AI disruption. The Swiss investment bank downgraded the sector to neutral from attractive, citing three key reasons, including investors becoming more selective toward tech stocks, a rotation away from the sector, and fears that AI will replace software tools. The sell-off in software stocks was triggered by AI firm Anthropic releasing new AI tools that it said could handle professional workflows, which many traditional software companies sell as core products. Tech stocks rallied Monday as investors were hopeful the market could sustain its upward advance after the sell-off. The S & P 500 Software & Services Index, which has 140 constituents, was up around 3% on Monday. UBS noted that "software uncertainty could linger," as well as competition increasing for software companies. This makes it difficult for investors to "have conviction in the growth rate and profitability of firms in the software industry," UBS said in a note. "The amount of revenue being generated by AI at the moment doesn't stack up relative to the amount being spent," Mark Hawtin, head of global equities at Liontrust Asset Management, told CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe" on Tuesday. "So that's just creating a picture out into the future, which is way more uncertain, way harder to predict, and investors don't like unpredictability." UBS also outlined that cloud service providers are reaching an unsustainable level of capital expenditure, which could be an "overhang" for investors, especially as spending is increasingly being funded by "external debt or equity financing," it wrote in the note. Hawtin also told CNBC's Steve Sedgwick and Ben Boulos that the spending plans of many Magnificent Seven companies have been a cause for concern. The four biggest hyperscalers, Alphabet , Microsoft , Meta , and Amazon , are set to spend almost $700 billio...
