Archer Aviation (NYSE: ACHR) is building a business around a small, vertical-lift aircraft that can be used as an air taxi. It is an exciting development in the aerospace industry because it would open up a whole new type of travel. However, Archer Aviation's lofty production goals seem to have fallen by the wayside, highlighting key headwinds the company faces. Here are some things you need to consider about the aerospace start-up. In the first quarter of 2024, Archer Aviation stated that it intended to build six of its Midnight aircraft. There was no date attached to the goal. At the end of 2024, the company increased that target, stating that it would produce "up to 10" midnight aircraft in 2025. In the middle of 2025 the company stated that it was concurrently working on six of its aircraft. By the end of 2025, Archer Aviation didn't mention the number of aircraft it had completed, though it had delivered at least one Midnight to Abu Dhabi for testing and potentially added a second to its "fleet."

US Removes Sanctions On Iranian Oil Stranded At Sea To Boost Overall Supply On Thursday, Scott Bessent told Fox News that the US is considering unsanctioning Iranian oil, thereby making the 140 million barrels stuck on Iranian tankers, available to any buyer in the world and not just China, to ease the supply-chain bottlenecks that emerged after the Strait of Hormuz was blocked. In doing so, another formerly sanctioned US nemesis would be allowed free access to global markets, after Russia received a similar "temporary" permit a week earlier. "In the coming days we may unsanction Iranian oil that's on the water, about 140 million barrels," he said on Fox Business, adding that "In essence, we will be using the Iranian barrels against the Iranians to keep the price down for the next 10 or 14 days, as we continue this campaign." 🚨 WOW! Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent just announced plans to use Iran's own oil AGAINST THEM The strategy: un-sanction 140 million Iranian barrels already on the water, and UNLEASH 10-14 days of supply "We'd be using the Iranian barrels AGAINST the Iranians to keep the price… pic.twitter.com/zY84IDzTJ4 — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) March 19, 2026 Just one day later, the idea moved from concept to reality when late on Friday, the US Treasury announced it had eased oil sanctions on Iran, including permitting the sale of Iranian crude and refined products into the United States, when it issued a general license for energy that’s already on vessels as of Friday, with such purchases authorized through April 19 . The measure follows similar moves for Russian oil on the water in a bid to ease an unprecedented fuel supply crunch caused by the war. BREAKING: US Treasury eases oil sanctions on Iran, including permiting the sale of Iranian crude and refined products into the United States. Scott Bessent calls it a "narrowly tailored, short-term authorization permitting the sale of Iranian oil currently stranded at sea." pic.twitter.com/ANNjqpSHm9 — Javier ...

For those looking to invest in exchange-traded funds , the sheer number of different choices can be intimidating. For the most part, investors choose ETFs based on which fund is most likely to deliver the best returns. But because there are so many different categories of ETFs to choose from, investors who have a particular goal in mind might sometimes pick funds that don't maximize total return but instead have other attractive features. Dividend investing is a good case in point. Investors who emphasize stocks that can generate income that they pay out to shareholders through dividends aren't always looking for the top-growth candidate. Instead, a history of reliable business performance that supports predictable payouts to investors can be the most attractive attribute for such a stock. The Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (NYSEMKT: VIG) seeks to identify the best such dividend stocks , and in this second in a three-part series of articles on the Vanguard ETF for the Voyager Portfolio , you'll learn more about how the fund has performed strongly even though it hasn't been able to keep up with broader indexes like the S&P 500.

In fact, one of these stocks is my top growth stock to buy in 2026. 1. Tesla is betting the most on AI When it comes to investing in AI, no EV company can match the aggressiveness of Tesla (TSLA 3.25%). Tesla has been investing in AI for many years, culminating in a $2 billion investment in xAI -- another Elon Musk start-up -- in January. Tesla's investments in AI have a clear end goal: enabling Tesla vehicles to achieve full self-driving potential. The company has already launched a pilot version of its robotaxi business in Texas. The robotaxi market alone, according to some experts, could eventually be worth $5 trillion or more globally. When Tesla announced its investment in xAI, the company also confirmed that production of its Cybercab EV -- a low-cost EV that will help it rapidly expand its robotaxi business -- remains on track to begin by the end of 2026.

While the market has pulled back from its all-time highs in 2026 over concerns about the broader economy, not all stocks have gotten the memo. In the tech sector, there are at least two artificial intelligence (AI) stocks still trading near their highs. Let's take a closer look at these two stocks that apparently didn't get the memo to pull back in this uncertain economy. 1. Palantir Technologies Given its role in the defense and intelligence segments of the U.S. government, perhaps it should be no surprise that the stock of Palantir Technologies (PLTR 3.29%) has rallied to trade near all-time highs, given the current U.S. conflict with Iran. The U.S. government is the company's largest customer, and Palantir is arguably its most important vendor in helping modernize its systems. However, Palantir is far more than just a government defense contractor. The company's largest area of growth has come from the U.S. commercial sector, as its Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) has become one of the most important layers in implementing AI. Its platform is able to gather data from a variety of sources and then organize it into an ontology, which it then links to physical assets and workflow processes. This gives AI models the clean, structured data that they need to help avoid costly hallucinations (data that is inaccurate or doesn't make sense), in essence making Palantir's platform an AI operating system.

METFORMIN reduced the incidence of intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD) by nearly 40% in people with Type 2 diabetes over 5 years in a 2026 observational study. Metformin as a Potential Treatment for All Stages of AMD AMD is a common cause of blindness in high-income countries. It has previously been established that treatment has a high patient and financial burden, with limited long-term success. Prior analysis has also identified metformin as a potential treatment for all stages of AMD. Researchers also noted that the common diabetes drug is readily accessible and has a strong safety profile. Metformin Gave a 37% Lower Risk of AMD in Type 2 Diabetes Researchers analysed more than 2,500 participants aged 50 or above who attended retinopathy screening in 2011 and were enrolled to the Individualised Screening for Diabetic Retinopathy study. All had Type 2 diabetes and gradable fundus photographs. Authors collected information on metformin prescription from GP records. Those prescribed oral metformin had a 37% lower risk of intermediate AMD by 5 years. The results are consistent with known biological mechanisms, given metformin’s potential favourable effects on AMD progression, researchers reported. Metformin Across Other Stages of AMD In univariate analysis, metformin was associated with a lower incidence of late AMD, however the link was not significant after adjustment for age and sex. There was no association between metformin and early AMD incidence. Limited Data and Generalisability Researchers did not have data regarding the dose, duration of prior use, or compliance of metformin use. Further, there were only a relatively small number of participants developing advanced AMD – an inevitability in population-based studies. The study also used colour fundus photographs as opposed to optical coherence tomography, the latter of which was unavailable but exhibits better sensitivity at detecting AMD. Inherently, results cannot be generalised past peopl...

Donald Trump has done his best to crush the green shoots of the global, post-pandemic economic recovery – nowhere more so than in the UK. The US president’s vandalism can be seen across the economic landscape, especially in the property sector, which has become more sensitive to international events since the spread of Covid-19 disrupted long-established supply chains and sent the cost of raw materials soaring. What should be a strictly domestic consideration – what to build and where – has been shaped by the backwash from one geopolitical crisis after another, inducing a long period of stasis. The latest UK industry statistics come hot on the heels of Trump’s attack on Iran. The data provider Glenigan said last week the value of new projects had dropped by more than a third in the three months to the end of February. Projects in the category marked “major works” – worth more than £100m – have suffered the most. Last November, with Rachel Reeves signalling a relatively benign budget, major developers were gung-ho and the number of major projects was on the rise. Not any more. Trump has slammed on the brakes. Office building, civil engineering projects and residential housing are all affected by the slowdown. It might seem strange to focus on how many spades are going into the ground across the UK when Trump’s epic miscalculation in the Middle East is having far-reaching effects beyond the property industry. With Iran almost certain to exact a high price by keeping oil and gas prices elevated, there could be terminal knock-on effects for liberal democracies facing yet another inflation shock. Nevertheless, the UK economy is underpinned by an obsession with property, and the failure to get the market moving is another major blow to Reeves’s growth plans. In many ways, Britain’s economy is principally a property market with a sideline in other services and manufacturing. The financial services sector is underpinned by property wealth and makes its money from loans tied...

The Trump administration’s aggressive anti-immigration policy has led to a crackdown on immigrant communities that, increasingly, targets not just people who have violated immigration law but many immigrants who are in the US legally. Throughout the past year, policies – many of which are actively being challenged in court – amount to the government attempting to strip people of their status, with countless numbers suddenly finding themselves undocumented, or about to be, and under threat of deportation. “They are looking for every way to make the undocumented population as enormous as possible,” Ghita Schwarz, litigation director for the New York-based International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP), said of the federal authorities, as they seek to meet mass deportation targets. She added: “It’s the great de-legalization campaign, rendering vulnerable to detention and removal millions of people who were not here unlawfully.” Here are the main ways Trump is undermining legal immigrants: Refugees Historically, refugees fleeing war and persecution were intensely vetted by the US government while still abroad, then brought to the country and resettled through the federal refugee program. After one year in the US, refugees were required to apply for a green card. On the first day of his second administration, Donald Trump signed an executive order “suspending” the government’s refugee program – what critics call a “refugee ban”. It left thousands of refugees stranded abroad, many of whom’s flights had already been scheduled. Other refugees already in the US have been left in limbo with little to no resettlement assistance. The ban has been challenged in court, with little success. Since the refugee ban was signed, anti-refugee policies within the US have intensified further. The Trump administration also issued two separate travel bans blocking people from 39 countries from entering the US and extended the ban to apply to refugees. In November, the administration paused...

Tech stocks have been on a roller coaster lately, especially the AI-chip leaders. Nvidia’s (NVDA) stock zoomed in 2023-2025 as everyone chased generative AI. This year has been a bit choppier. AI names have pulled back from last fall’s highs, as investors fret over valuation and competition. However, the demand is not slowing. The AI market could explode to $5.26 trillion by 2035, up sharply from $274 billion in 2023, according to an estimate. Nvidia has been in the headlines for so many reasons, but this time it's a little different. Yesterday, Elon Musk tweeted on X that he’s a “huge admirer” of Nvidia and CEO Jensen Huang, adding that SpaceX and Tesla (TSLA) will keep buying Nvidia chips at scale. That praise, from one of Silicon Valley’s top customers, refocused attention on Nvidia’s leadership in AI semiconductors. It raises the question: with Musk as a fan and big orders coming, is NVDA stock suddenly too attractive to ignore? AI Leadership Built on Chip Dominance Nvidia is the frontrunner in AI because it dominates the most important layer, chips, with about 90% market share, giving it a huge lead over rivals like AMD (AMD) and Intel (INTC). As the AI chip market is predicted to grow from $500 billion to $1 trillion by 2030, Nvidia is in the best position to capture that growth. It’s also expanding beyond data centers into “physical AI,” powering robots, drones, and autonomous systems. Moreover, Nvidia is moving into software, aiming to control the entire AI ecosystem, which strengthens its long-term advantage. After having a solid year, Nvidia's stock is down roughly 6% year-to-date (YTD) in 2026. This slight dip comes despite a massive 48% gain over the past year. The muted start to the year is not linked to company weakness or fundamentals; it's just due to the broader tech sector pullback, even as the company delivered yet another quarter of jaw-dropping AI-driven growth From a valuation standpoint, I see it as quite reasonable given the company's current...
