halbergman/E+ via Getty Images Co-authored by Kody's Dividends There have been countless great American companies that found their start in a garage. Apple ( AAPL ) was one company that started out of the garage of a single person's home. Microsoft ( MSFT ) started in a garage as well. From musical bands to massive software and computer companies, garages have been home to great excellence. Of course, there have been many great failures that have come from garages as well. Perhaps your garage band never made it to a record label deal, even though other garage bands have. One aspect of America that I love is the ability for anyone with enough of a dream, enough of a desire to push that dream forward, and a good enough dream to come from the humblest beginnings and start something that truly turns into a powerhouse. The original founder will not be the long-term runner of the company. We see many small startups that get bought out for massive valuations because the idea is compelling enough that a bigger competitor decides to take it over. When we look at consumables, PepsiCo ( PEP ) bought out a prebiotic soda brand, Poppi, because it wanted to include its product type into its overall suite of products. It was a good idea, and a larger company acquired it, yielding significant returns for the founders. As an investor, I don't try to gamble on which garage startup will be the best in the future. If I could travel back in time, I would most definitely buy the companies that I knew were going to see explosive share value growth, even if the company underneath wasn't of substantial value or worth. But I am not a time traveler; I am a humble investor. This means I will look at the market with a perspective of today, understanding history, and understanding the forecast to decide what to buy. I love to buy companies that are on sale, whose value is cheaper relative to their history and to their long-term value. The recent SaaS panic sell-off and growth rotation to value h...

Joe Hendrickson/iStock Editorial via Getty Images The recent news that DraftKings ( DKNG ) is being sued by the NCAA for trademark infringement of their March Madness brand in their betting operations got me looking at the company again, as its been a while since I last recommended investors exercise caution . The basics remain the same; it remains one of the two industry leaders in the sports betting space, and the industry overall remains, on the surface, more than healthy. A year after breaking through the $150 billion line in 2024 , total handle in legal sports betting reached $166 billion in 2025 . This month alone over $3 billion will be bet on March Madness. However, events in the fast-evolving legal gambling space continue to move apace. My view is that while the short term will likely be influenced most by the ongoing developments in the predictions market challenge and the ongoing legalization drive, investors should remain focused on long-term fundamental trends which, frankly, turn more on other factors. And those factors concern me. Predictions About The Predictions Market The stock got a bit of a boost on Monday from the latest news in predictions market regulation , which remains an amorphous but fast-moving concept. Bipartisan support exists for proposals to wall off the sports betting space from the predictions market , which would be a significant boost for DraftKings if they could get it. The market is certainly focused on it right now. On DraftKings Q4 earnings call , seven of the first nine questions from analysts pertained to predictions operations. It was also front and center at the company’s annual Investor Day conference earlier this month. For the most part, we got the usual “early days” speech from management, which didn’t want to be drawn too much on the issue beyond assuring investors that they were very confident they would be a big winner in the space; and indeed, what else would they say? We did get a few useful tidbits. First, manag...

PIKSEL/iStock via Getty Images Shares of Janus Living ( JAN ) have seen a successful public offering. The REIT, which claims to be the only real estate investment trust for senior housing, has seen a successful public offering. This looks compelling, and while demand for such real estate is high, it comes with some specific risks as well, as this and other risks make me cautious here. This combination makes it easy for me to wait here, as I like the strategic direction, but I am far from convinced that this offers a solid long-term entry point here. Other, higher conviction ideas, including recent IPOs, can be found at Value In Corporate Events . REIT for Senior Housing Janus Living claims to be the only U.S. REIT that focuses exclusively on the senior housing sector, with the REIT claiming to be the only REIT to operate under a so-called RIDEA structure. In here, service providers are directly paid for by residents instead of relying on government reimbursement programs. The initial portfolio comprises 34 communities, over 10,400 units as of the end of 2025. The company is heavily focused on Texas and Florida, combined making up about 70% of the portfolio. The business is managed by Healthpeak ( DOC ), this in itself being a publicly listed business with a great track record here. Moreover, besides managing the assets, Healthpeak is a key investor in the firm, being the former owner. About two-thirds of the portfolio is comprised of communities that are labeled "life plan communities" in which residents benefit from a continuum of care, with assistance and other services granted to residents, unlike the remainder of the portfolio. Reporting about 85% occupancy rates and the company generating $771 million in revenues in 2025, average revenues per resident come in at $87k; that is adjusted for occupancy rates. Those are huge numbers, averaging about $7k per month, as this of course includes straight-line rent but also covers various services. Valuation and IPO Thoug...

The A57 has also been upgraded with a slightly thinner display bezel. Samsung has announced its two newest midrange phones, the Galaxy A57 and A37. Both phones benefit from a jump to IP68 water-resistance and some improved AI features, but the bigger upgrades are reserved for the A57, which is now thinner, lighter, and has a slimmer bezel around the display. The downside? They both also cost $50 more than last year's equivalents. The $549.99 Galaxy A57 is Samsung's direct rival to the $499 Google Pixel 10A and $599 iPhone 17E . To help it compete, Samsung has slimmed the phone to just 6.9mm thick, noticeably thinner than either alternative, while dropping the weight to 179g. That's been achieved without giving … Read the full story at The Verge.

Mark Rome/iStock via Getty Images Beretta Holding proposed on Wednesday to acquire an additional 20% stake in Sturm, Ruger & Company ( RGR ) above the 9.95% already disclosed. The tender offer was made at $44.80 per share. Notably, Beretta asked for an exemption to the poison pill that is in place. In a letter sent last week to shareholders, Beretta argued that Ruger ( RGR ) has destroyed shareholder value through weak execution and poor board oversight and called for urgent, shareholder-driven change. The letter claims Ruger has significantly underperformed Smith & Wesson ( SWBI ) and relevant indexes, despite favorable industry conditions. Beretta highlighted steep profit deterioration since 2021, with gross margin falling from 38% to 15%, operating margin from 28% to negative 2%, and net income dropping from about $156M to a loss of $4.4M. It also highlighted missed strategic opportunities (military/law enforcement channels, accessories, ammunition and outdoor products, international growth, and shotguns) and an underinvested, long-tenured board that collectively has over 65 years of service but owns only about 1% of Ruger stock. Looking ahead, Beretta aims to elect four independent director nominees at Ruger's 2026 annual meeting. Beretta Holding is a Luxembourg-based, family-owned holding company that controls the Beretta industrial group, a major global player in firearms, ammunition, optics, accessories, and related outdoor products. The company's roots can be traced back to 1526. Shares of Sturm, Ruger ( RGR ) rose 5.3% in premarket trading to $42.87 on Wednesday and traded at their highest level of the year earlier in the session.

Anavex Life Sciences ( AVXL ) lost ~18% in the premarket on Wednesday after the company announced that it withdrew the marketing authorization application for its Alzheimer’s candidate, blarcamesine, in response to regulatory feedback. The decision came after the EU drug regulator, the European Medicines Agency (EMA), in December recommended refusing the MAA targeted at using blarcamesine as an add-on therapy for early Alzheimer’s disease in adults. The recommendation for refusal followed a negative trend vote issued by the EMA’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) in November to reject the once-daily molecule. Noting that the decision to submit the MAA was due to encouraging remarks from the EMA unit responsible for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in 2023, Anavex ( AVXL ) said that it “now has to take note of the differing assessment of the CHMP.” The company added that it will focus on obtaining further data and conducting additional analyses to support its case for blarcamesine in response to feedback received from the CHMP.
