The Nasdaq Composite climbed about 0.6%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) remained near flat. Tech shares led the gains after ASML (ASML) reported record fourth-quarter orders for its chipmaking equipment, stoking optimism about the AI sector. Nvidia (NVDA) and Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM), which rely on ASML machines, also rose in early trading. Investors are looking ahead to earnings from Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), scheduled after the market close. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) will report on Thursday, completing the Magnificent Seven megacap tech lineup. Markets are also weighing the Federal Reserve's upcoming interest-rate decision. Rates are expected to remain between 3.5% and 3.75%, with investors focused on Chair Jerome Powell's comments for hints on future policy. The dollar paused near a four-year low following a recent drop, while political scrutiny on Powell and possible leadership changes at the Fed add to uncertainty for investors.

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Elon Musk is weighing a potential initial public offering for SpaceX as early as mid-June 2026. People familiar with the matter told the Financial Times the company has discussed a valuation of around $1.5 trillion, with proceeds of up to $50 billion if a deal goes ahead. That would surpass Saudi Aramco's 2019 flotation as the largest listing on record. SpaceX chief financial officer Bret Johnsen has been holding meetings with private investors since mid-December as preparations continue. SpaceX was last valued at roughly $800 billion in a secondary share sale in December 2025. The higher figure now being discussed comes as Starlink has grown into a significant cash generator and development of the Starship rocket system has continued to advance. The company's launch cadence has increased steadily, while investor appetite for large-scale space, AI, and infrastructure assets has improved following a prolonged slowdown in the IPO market. SpaceX also invested $2 billion in xAI last year, another privately held venture controlled by Musk that has since been merged with X. Musk has also said he would like Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) to invest in xAI.

One move that might seem like a good idea could actually backfire on you. A lot of people prefer to save for retirement in a traditional IRA or 401(k) because contributions to these accounts are made on a pre-tax basis. And during your peak earning years especially, that tax break can be nice. But there's a big drawback to housing your savings in a traditional retirement plan, as opposed to a Roth...
One move that might seem like a good idea could actually backfire on you. A lot of people prefer to save for retirement in a traditional IRA or 401(k) because contributions to these accounts are made on a pre-tax basis. And during your peak earning years especially, that tax break can be nice. But there's a big drawback to housing your savings in a traditional retirement plan, as opposed to a Roth account. Not only will your withdrawals during retirement be taxable, but you'll also be subject to required minimum distributions, or RMDs, once you turn 73 (or 75, depending on your year of birth). If you're turning 73 this year, it means it's time to prepare for your first RMD if you have a traditional retirement account. But you don't necessarily have to take that initial withdrawal this year. The IRS gives people who are new to RMDs a bit of a grace period the first time around. And you're allowed to delay your initial RMD to April 1 of the year following the year of your 73rd birthday. You may be inclined to push off your first RMD to delay the tax bill that comes with it. But doing so could be a mistake you sorely regret. Two RMDs in the same year could be a huge problem When you delay your first RMD to the following year, it means you end up having to take two mandatory distributions within the same calendar year. And that could have a number of unfavorable consequences both in the near term and down the line. In the near term, you risk landing in a higher federal tax bracket and having a larger IRS bill to deal with. You also risk having to pay taxes on your Social Security benefits. But that's not all. If taking two RMDs within the same year raises your income substantially, you could end up having to pay surcharges known as IRMAAs (income-related monthly adjustment amounts) on your Medicare premiums two years down the line. IRMAAs apply not only to Medicare Part B, but also Part D drug plans. Think twice before delaying your first RMD While it's nice to have the...
