It's been quite the last month for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC). Over the past 30 days, the world's leading cryptocurrency has surged more than 35%, building enough momentum to smash through the coveted $100,000 mark -- a milestone many longtime investors anticipated. For those who have been in the Bitcoin game for years, this achievement likely feels like vindication. But for new, prospective investors, the recent price action may spark a nagging sense of FOMO, or fear of missing out. If this sounds like you, here's the good news: It's probably not too late to invest in Bitcoin. However, there are things you need to know first. The case for Bitcoin's continued growth At first glance, it might seem like Bitcoin has little room to grow beyond $100,000. But history tells a different story. It's known for its cyclical nature, following a four-year pattern tied to its halving events. These halvings, which reduce Bitcoin's inflation rate by cutting mining rewards in half, have historically been significant catalysts for price increases. We're currently in the third year of this cycle -- the halving year itself. Historically, this year sets the stage for the crypto's strongest price movements, which typically occur in the year following the halving. It might sound hard to believe that Bitcoin can follow a predictable pattern, but so far, its trajectory over the last few years aligns closely with exactly what it's done in the past. After a harsh bear market in 2022, investors began accumulating it during 2023. Now, in the halving year of 2024, the market is seeing substantial gains, with the potential for even greater price action in 2025. Look back at the data, and you will see exactly what I'm talking about. Why patience is key While 2025 has the potential to deliver notable gains, newcomers need to understand that the best opportunities often arise during the quieter, earlier stages of its cycles. Current price levels suggest that we may be closer to the peak of this bull mark...

Nigerian Researchers Accidentally Confirm Africa's Low IQ Problem For many years the political left has dismissed all discussion about links between third world populations and low intelligence as "racism" and "xenophobia". The well documented fact that low IQ populations are more inclined towards lack of impulse control and a higher crime rate does not matter to progressives. They assert that such claims are based on "rigged" and "biased" data. For example, the data on Somalia's low median IQ (which is 67 and far below the western average of 100) is often criticized as "incomplete" because the data is usually taken from refugees and migrants leaving the country rather than a population sample from within the country. However, populations in neighboring countries like Djibouti or Ethiopia have nearly identical test results. It is simply a fact that IQ is largely genetic (around 80% of testing outcome). The rest is a matter of varied experiences and environment. This does not mean that a "disadvantaged" childhood results in a lower IQ score. In fact, high IQ individuals often come from significant struggles and studies on top "high achievers" show that around 75% of them come from difficult backgrounds including extreme poverty. The leftist arguments against IQ as a qualifier for immigration are built around feelings rather than facts. And when it comes to progressives and globalists with an agenda, it is obvious that they prefer third world immigration for the exact reason that these people are habitually impulsive and ready to wreak havoc on western society. That's the outcome the "Multiculturalists" want. A recent randomized study by researchers in Nigeria was designed to prove the western conception of sub-Saharan Africa wrong: They believed that Africa's average IQ was much higher than older data claimed. But, the ultimate outcome of their testing simply reinforced what everyone else already knows. Only 3% of participants scored above the western average of 100....

watch now VIDEO 2:26 02:26 Investors pivot to hard luxury assets Markets and Politics Digital Original Video When the gavel came down in December, Christie's had set a record that created a buzz in the auction world. A Tiffany & Co. necklace adorned with a sparkling blue Paraiba tourmaline gem and diamonds sold for more than $4.2 million, 10 times its low estimate. A matching pair of earrings hit the block next, and it too sold for 10 times its estimate. A 13.54 carat Paraiba-type tourmaline and diamond necklace by Tiffany & Co. sold at a Christie's auction in New York last December for $4.2 million, 10 times its low estimate. Courtesy: CHRISTIE'S IMAGES LTD. 2026 "I think that was really a marker for how far private clients are willing to go for these exceptional goods," said Jacqueline DiSante, vice president and head of sales of Christie's New York jewelry division. Amid economic and geopolitical uncertainty, a certain class of consumers are turning toward an unlikely asset class — jewelry. The trend comes as investors increasingly flock to tangible assets. For ultrarich consumers, colored gemstones such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds are especially popular right now. "Whenever you have macroeconomic volatility … the appeal of hard asset investing goes up," said Thorne Perkin, president of investment management firm Papamarkou Wellner Perkin. "Tangible assets, they tend to retain their value or even increase when inflation rises." Mario Ortelli, a managing partner at strategic and M&A advisor Ortelli&Co., agreed with Perkin's take, saying that there was clearly a "defensive element" to the trend. "In periods of inflation, geopolitical tension, or financial market volatility, tangible assets become more attractive," he said in an email. "Branded jewelry can function as a portable store of value." "Unlike fashion accessories that are tied to seasonal cycles, iconic jewelry collections have a much longer product life cycle," he added. "In many cases, they also de...

Getty Images Introduction Recently, we've been hearing a lot about artificial intelligence and how much it will impact the overall economy. While the rapid adoption of AI will likely benefit us long-term, there's no denying that it has and will continue to cause disruption. However, certain sectors and companies will fare well as their business models are less impacted by the threat of AI. In this article, I discuss two stocks that won't likely be impacted by AI, and why income investors should consider them for their portfolios. The AI Impacts Are Real Depending on your job, you may be worried about if artificial intelligence will replace you. For some, AI will have minimal impact due to their specialties and industries. If you're a nurse, doctor, or farmer, then you're likely to see less negative impact. But others may not be so lucky. For example, I have a family member who's currently a data analyst. I've made jokes with him about how AI will likely replace him in the near future. While I have no absolute answer if it will or not, his industry makes him highly susceptible to being replaced. Shortly before I retired from the U.S. Navy, I was a maintenance manager for a riverine squadron. After seeing my resume on LinkedIn, I was contacted by an Amazon ( AMZN ) recruiter for a potential job. In short, Amazon was building a new warehouse and wanted me to lead their robotics maintenance team of 90 personnel. Although I never got the actual job, I assumed that robots would be doing most of the work, likely eliminating the need for humans. Going forward, businesses like Amazon will continue to adopt AI, eliminating hundreds of thousands of existing jobs in the coming years. This ultimately will be for cost efficiency purposes. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics , below are a few examples of jobs that will see impacts from AI through 2033. Many well-known companies have already started reducing their workforces. U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics If you're an inv...

Gert Hilbink/iStock via Getty Images Introduction In recent days, we have spent a lot of time discussing the war in Iran and the risks this brings for the economy and the stock market. If I had to summarize it in a few lines, I would say that the main risk is runaway inflation that makes it impossible for the Fed to cut rates, puts pressure on the consumer, and likely ends the growth acceleration trend we have been witnessing in the first two months of this year. In fact, going into this year, S&P 500 corporations were doing quite well, as the chart below shows. FactSet As the market trades at roughly 21x forward earnings, the margin of error is slim. While I have “always” said that double-digit growth S&P 500 EPS growth expectations support this valuation, the aforementioned factors could easily create an earnings recession. Hence, if the “E” in the P/E ratio drops, the stock market can still be expensive after a correction. That’s the biggest risk here. However, while I'm fully aware of these risks, I have also made the case that I'm not playing it safe. Instead, I'm doing what I have been doing for years, which is buying cyclical value at a discount. While this has now turned into a “binary” market where the outcome is likely either very bullish or very bearish, I like the long-term risk/reward that comes with buying America’s highest-quality compounders and dividend growers. One reason for that is my view that we're still in a cyclical upswing. Unless the war in Iran escalates and no solution is found for the energy problem (i.e., Strait of Hormuz problems), I think we will continue to see upward momentum in leading indicators and broadening growth. With that said, this article isn’t about that. In this article, I’ll zoom out even further, as this is about the even bigger “Big Picture.” See, as bullish as I am on cyclical value due to the growth recovery we saw in the ISM Manufacturing Index and other indices, I'm even more bullish on a long-term basis due to th...

In this article NFLX DASH NFLX DASH ORCL Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT DoorDash food-delivery service in New York City on Feb. 13, 2025. Danielle DeVries | CNBC Escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and elevated oil prices continue to weigh on global stock markets. Investors aiming to invest in stocks for the long term, despite the ongoing volatility, can consider the recommendations of top Wall Street analysts. These experts assess macroeconomic factors and sector and company-specific drivers before assigning their ratings. Here are three stocks favored by some of Wall Street's top pros, according to TipRanks, a platform that ranks analysts based on their past performance. Netflix Streaming giant Netflix ( NFLX ) is this week's first stock. After recently upgrading his rating for Netflix stock, JPMorgan analyst Douglas Anmuth reiterated a buy rating with a price target of $120 , calling NFLX one of his top picks along with Alphabet (GOOGL) Amazon (AMZN), Spotify (SPOT), and DoorDash (DASH). Anmuth noted that there are concerns about the necessity, or lack thereof, of large-scale media mergers and acquisitions, Netflix's engagement growth and valuation. Despite these concerns, the five-star analyst believes that Netflix remains a "healthy organic growth story, driven by a combination of strong content, global subscriber growth, continued pricing power, & an early-stage/under-monetized Ad tier." Additionally, Anmuth is confident about Netflix delivering improved margins and solid free cash flows. He expects the company to make higher share repurchases this year, driven by the stock's favorable share price and the $2.8 billion termination fee received from Paramount Skydance (PSKY) after the streaming platform abandoned a merger deal with Warner Bros. Discovery. The analyst expects Netflix to deliver a 2025 to 2028 compound annual growth rate of more than 12% for forex-neutral revenue, 21% for operating income, 24% for GAAP earnings per...

As China and the U.S. compete for domination in artificial intelligence, compute power will be the key factor in determining the winner, Bernstein found. The firm also named a few stocks to play on the trend. "China will need to make huge investments in semis and power infrastructure to catch up with the U.S., creating clear upside for related equities," the analysts said It's a step back from the market's current focus on semiconductor access. The U.S. has restricted China's ability to buy advanced chips for training AI models. Chinese companies have countered by using more, albeit less powerful chips, while launching AI models that are far cheaper to use than those of U.S. rivals. Just as chips are essential to the AI race, so is the electricity needed to power them. "Compute power depends not only on advanced semiconductors, but also on power supply to run hyperscalers, and here China is leading," Bernstein's Hong Kong-based analysts said in a March 17 report. By 2035, they predict the U.S. will use 511 zetta floating point operations per second, or ZFLOPS, of AI compute. That compares to the current level of 35 ZFLOPs, the report said, referring to a measure of computing speed. China only has 5 ZFLOPs of AI compute right now, but last year the country added more than 500 gigawatts of power capacity. Maintaining that pace would give China 1,936 ZFLOPs by 2035, the analysts said. That would be more than three times that of the U.S. Fueling power needs Energy security has long been a focus for Beijing, as evidenced by its efforts to stockpile crude oil and diversify into renewables. The country's push into electric vehicles has also reduced demand for oil, while supporting the development of batteries. "To support rapid growth in power generation and renewables, China will require significantly more battery and grid infrastructure," the Bernstein analysts said, "which is why CATL and Sungrow remain among our top picks." The analysts have an outperform rating on the...

Berkshire Hathaway has resumed stock buybacks after nearly two years even though its shares aren't particularly cheap, a move that may do little to boost the sprawling conglomerate's shares. In a recently proxy filing, Berkshire disclosed that it repurchased the equivalent of 309 Class A shares on March 4, totaling about $226 million. The transaction marked the company's first buyback since May 2024. UBS estimates Berkshire's shares were trading at roughly a 5% discount to intrinsic value as of March 4 — below the average 15% discount during the company's last buyback program that began in the third quarter of 2018. The narrower discount could limit how much stock it will repurchase and, in turn, how much support buybacks provide the shares. "We think the lack of meaningful buybacks (presumably because the firm does not think its shares are undervalued) is a factor that removes a near-term catalyst from the shares," said Cathy Seifert, a Berkshire analyst at CFRA Research. BRK.A YTD mountain Berkshire Hathaway class A shares year to date Shares of Berkshire are unchanged from the March 3 close, the day before repurchases began. The stock has fluctuated in recent months and is down 4% year to date amid mixed signals on earnings momentum, leaving investors closely watching for cues from Abel and his deputies at the upcoming shareholder meeting in early May. Berkshire's policy gives management flexibility to repurchase shares whenever they are deemed to be trading below intrinsic value, with new CEO Greg Abel making that determination in consultation with Chairman Warren Buffett. Abel said earlier this month that he discussed the decision directly with Buffett , evaluating both valuation and timing before moving ahead with the purchases. He added that while the company typically doesn't call attention to the start of buybacks, management chose to highlight the move this time given the recent leadership transition. Abel took over the reins from Buffett at the start of t...

Key Points Realty Income continues to expand as it obtains more capital at low interest rates. Do not forget about its generous monthly dividend. The stock is not as expensive as its P/E ratio implies. 10 stocks we like better than Realty Income › Realty Income's (NYSE: O) pandemic bounce ended when the market experienced one of the most profound interest rate shocks in history. Even though it recovered some of its lost value over the last couple of years, it has pulled back now that the prospects for further interest rate cuts have dimmed. However, instead of selling the stock, now may be the time to stay the course in the monthly dividend company. Here's why. 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 » Realty Income's current state Realty Income owns more than 15,500 single-tenant, net leased properties. Investors tend to like such arrangements, as tenants cover the insurance, maintenance, and tax expenses, giving the company a steady revenue stream. Moreover, it tends to attract blue chip clients such as Dollar General, Wynn Resorts, and Tractor Supply, providing for a stable client base. Clients like these also keep its occupancy level at almost 99%. Also, interest rates did not stop it from making nearly $6.3 billion in additional property investments in 2025, and it is hitting the accelerator this year. Additionally, Realty Income seems to be getting favorable loan terms. In 2025, the company issued convertible senior notes with rates ranging from 3.375% to 5.125%, showing that low-cost capital continues to fund its expansion. Realty Income by the numbers Not surprisingly, that led to $5.75 billion in revenue in 2025, a 9% yearly increase. Although interest costs rose by almost 12%, Realty Income largely held the line on rising costs and expenses. Hence, the $1.06 billion in net income a...

According to Musk’s announcement, the Terafab will integrate efforts from Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI. "We’re starting a galactic civilization," Musk said during the announcement. What Is Terafab? Speaking from the Seaholm Power Plant in Austin, Musk described the Terafab as a comprehensive chip manufacturing facility. It will consolidate all stages of chip development, including testing and packaging, under one roof. "To the best of my knowledge, this doesn’t exist anywhere in the world," Musk stated. What Will Terafab Produce? The Terafab will produce two types of chips. One is designed for Tesla's autonomous vehicles and Optimus humanoid robots, with expected production volumes significantly higher than cars. The second, the D3 chip, will be tailored for space environments, supporting solar-powered AI satellites. Musk envisions a future where AI satellites, powered by solar energy, operate in space, reducing costs below terrestrial AI. He also proposed the potential for establishing an industrial base on the moon, unlocking petawatts of AI compute. Musk’s vision includes free trips to Saturn in a post-scarcity economy, acknowledging the ambitious nature of these plans. Alignment With Tesla's AI Infrastructure Expansion Musk teased the Terafab project launch last week, marking a significant milestone in Tesla’s AI infrastructure expansion. The initiative aligns with Musk’s vision for autonomous technology and the development of AGI, positioning Tesla as a leader in AI-driven innovation. Musk’s confidence in SpaceX’s AI capabilities highlights the company’s potential to outpace competitors in the AI race, emphasizing the importance of AI integration for future success. The Terafab project has implications for both terrestrial and extraterrestrial applications.

Mastercard is acquiring stablecoin infrastructure firm BVNK for $1.8 billion — a long-term play that could transform the one-time casualty of the so-called artificial intelligence and stablecoin disruption trades into a beneficiary of both emerging tech trends. The acquisition will enable Mastercard to process stablecoin-denominated transactions, the payments company said Tuesday in a statement. Over time, the deal could help Mastercard fend against a few disruption risks, and enhance its stock's upside potential, Hivemind Capital founder and managing partner Matt Zhang told CNBC. "Perception wise, Mastercard can tell the shareholders that this is something [for which] they have a solution. They have a hedge against [AI and stablecoin-related risks]," Zhang said of the deal. "And, on the other side, they also ... can benefit from expanding into another adjacent sector." In late February, Citrini Research said in a note to clients that agentic AI could lead to the redirection of many payments from traditional financial networks to on-chain alternatives. The AI doomsday declaration sparked a sell-off of financial stocks, including Mastercard. Its shares sank about 6% on the trading day following the report's release. The BVNK deal is expected to close later this year, and likely will mean Mastercard is more equipped to face AI disruption threats, analysts said. "Mastercard continues to embrace new age digital currencies like stablecoins via strategic decisions like the acquisition of BVNK," Citi analyst Bryan Keane said Tuesday in the note. "MA should be able to take BVNK's existing send, receive, store, and convert services and scale them alongside the greater Mastercard Move initiative, resulting in an even more comprehensive service package not just for fintechs, but (increasingly) for traditional financial institutions as well." Citi Research has a buy rating on Mastercard and a $735 price target on shares, or 48% above where the stock closed Friday. Stablecoin su...

Trump threatens to 'obliterate' Iran's power plants as Iran strikes 2 Israeli cities toggle caption Ohad Zwigenberg/AP After warning of retaliatory attacks on U.S. and Israeli infrastructure, Iran on Saturday night launched missiles at two southern Israeli cities that lie close to the country's main nuclear research center. The Israel Defense Forces said about 180 people had been injured, some severely. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it "a very difficult evening" for the country, in a post on X . Also overnight, President Trump gave Iran 48 hours to reopen a crucial waterway, the Strait of Hormuz, saying if Tehran fails to do so "America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!" Roughly a fifth of the world's oil transited through the strait last year — and Iran's willingness to attack the transport vessels has virtually halted traffic. The president has vacillated in recent days between declaring the war "very complete, pretty much," while also deciding to stage new U.S. ground forces near the region and continuing to strike Iranian targets. Sponsor Message Meanwhile, Iran said the Strait of Hormuz remains open to everyone except "Iran's enemies." Here are more updates on day 23 of the conflict: Iran attacks near Israeli nuclear facility Dimona and Arad in southern Israel were hit by Iranian missiles Saturday night, in attacks Iranian media reported were aimed at the country's main nuclear research center. Authorities refuse to confirm or deny Israel has nuclear weapons. The Iranian missiles managed to get past Israel's sophisticated air defense systems and footage from the sites of the strikes showed large craters and destroyed buildings. Israel's Ministry of Health said in the city of Arad around 116 people were injured, while in Dimona 64 were injured. Nuclear watchdog the International Atomic Energy Agency said it had not "received any indication of damage to the nuclear research center Negev" in...

The energy sector can be volatile. We've seen that in the past year. Crude oil prices slumped last year before going hyperbolic in 2026 due to the war with Iran. However, despite energy price volatility, the sector can still be a great place to generate reliable dividend income. Here are three top energy dividend stocks to buy for durable income in 2026 and beyond. Brookfield Renewable Brookfield Renewable (BEPC 4.21%)(BEP 3.26%) has been a very reliable dividend stock since its public market listing in 2011. The leading global renewable energy producer has increased its dividend by at least 5% each year since going public. The payout currently yields nearly 4%, several times more than the S&P 500's 1.2% dividend yield. The top renewable energy dividend stock expects to increase its high-yielding payout by 5% to 9% annually over the long term. Several factors support that view. Brookfield Renewable generates stable and growing cash flow. It has contracted 90% of its capacity under long-term, fixed-rate power purchase agreements, the bulk of which link rates to inflation (70% of its revenues). Brookfield is also investing heavily to continue expanding its portfolio to support surging demand for renewable energy. The company expects to grow its funds from operations per share by more than 10% annually through at least 2031, easily supporting its dividend growth plan.

If you're willing to take a long-term perspective, then there are plenty of good crypto buying opportunities right now. In some cases, major cryptocurrencies are trading at steep 70%, 80%, and even 90% discounts to their all-time highs. Just keep in mind: the crypto market is highly cyclical, trading in four-year boom-and-bust cycles. So don't expect the price of any cryptocurrency to go straight up. With that in mind, here are three cryptocurrencies to buy right now for long-term investors. Bitcoin Let's start with the obvious pick: Bitcoin (BTC 2.72%). Bitcoin is typically the first cryptocurrency in any portfolio, and for good reason. For much of its history, Bitcoin has been one of the top-performing assets in the world. In fact, in seven of the past 14 years, Bitcoin has turned in triple-digit percentage gains. Bitcoin has been on an absolutely epic run during the past decade, increasing in price from $100 in April 2013 to $100,000 in December 2024. Where else can you find an asset capable of soaring in price by 1,000-fold in such a short period of time? Although historical performance is no guarantee of future returns, there's plenty of reason to think that Bitcoin still has plenty of fuel left in its tank. After all, the pace of institutional adoption of Bitcoin continues to grow at a rapid clip, and Wall Street continues to introduce new financial products tied to the price of Bitcoin. At the same time, Bitcoin now has solid support in Washington, where the White House has promised to make Bitcoin central to its pro-crypto strategy. The creation of a new Strategic Bitcoin Reserve in March 2025 was just the start. So, if you're willing to buy and hold for a minimum of five years, you could see some truly extraordinary returns from Bitcoin. Many investors and enthusiasts suggest that Bitcoin could hit a price of $1 million sometime before 2030. And some have already said that a single Bitcoin could be worth upward of $20 million within the next two decades. So...
