Bogdan Nicolaescu/iStock via Getty Images Overview I've held MLPs (Master Limited Partnerships) within my dividend portfolio because of their unique tax benefits and sector exposure. MLPs have the ability to offer higher than average dividend yield because they are legally required to generate at least 90% of their income from qualifying sources. This makes this a great tool within an income focused portfolio and a good fit for investors that want to limit their overall tax liability. However, I've limited my exposure to different MLPs in the last year because dealing with multiple Schedule K-1 forms during tax time can become a headache. Neos MLP & Energy Infrastructure High Income ETF ( MLPI ) now offers investors a way to get direct exposure to this unique asset class, while providing diversity and eliminating K-1 form. MLPI is still relatively new with an inception dating back to December of 2025. Looking at the performance since the fund's inception, we can see that MLPI's share price has increased by about 3.2%. When including the distributions that were paid out to shareholders so far, the total return jumps up to nearly 6% over the same time frame. MLPI now offers an estimated annual dividend yield above 15% and issues payouts on a monthly basis. Data by YCharts NEOS has maintained an excellent track record within the high-yield option ETF space, so I am excited to see how this fund performs over a longer holding period. MLPI is able to provide this high yield due to the inclusion of an option writing strategy that's deployed against its assets. While this allows an amplified income to be collected, there are also some tradeoffs that investors should consider before initiating a position. For instance, MLPI may not be the best choice for investors looking to maximize total returns from the sector. So let's start by taking a look at the underlying strategy that MLPI implements. Fund Strategy According to the latest fund overview , MLPI has total net assets of...

kb79/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Oatly has been one of those growth stories that attracted a lot of attention. The company did its IPO in 2021 at a staggering $10 billion valuation, and the stock price has since then declined by more than 96% in value. What happened? The previous management expanded too fast, grew very unprofitable, and a lot of debt was needed to keep the lights on. Under the new, experienced leadership team, margins tripled, cash burn was reduced significantly, operations became much more efficient, and product development didn’t slow down. The turnaround is now completed, and the stage is set for growth with new product innovations such as Matcha, Popcorn and Caramel. I personally believe that Oatly is a company with underestimated brand equity and a statistically cheap valuation, trading at around 0.4 price to sales despite the progress being made over the last years. I also believe that Oatly will reach profitability on an adjusted basis in FY25 and reduce the cash burn to zero in the next fiscal year. Moreover, the potential carve-out of parts of the China segment could result in a substantial inflow of cash that could be used to reduce debt (and interest expense). At a market cap of around $330 million, I believe that the risk-reward is attractive for investors to build a small, speculative position. I rate Oatly as a Buy. Q3 reflection and full-year outlook The third quarter showed solid results in line with my expectations. Sales were up by 7.1% and by 3.8% in constant currency. The company divides its sales into three main geographic regions. First, Europe & International. Sales increased by 12.2% and by 6% in constant currency in the third quarter. EBITDA was at $21.13 million compared with $11.58 million in the same period a year ago. Europe & International, which includes two of Oatly’s biggest markets, the U.K. and Germany, was the most profitable segment for the company. In the first nine months, sales increased by around 6%, an...

Experian Plc shares have fallen to a two-year low as investors bet that one of analysts’ favorite FTSE 100 stocks will suffer as artificial intelligence automates credit scoring. The shares dropped as much as 3.4% in London on Monday, extending a January decline to 13% in what would be the worst monthly performance in four years. The decline gave the firm a market capitalization of £26.9 billion ($36.8 billion). “The stock has been weak as Experian has been considered to be an artificial intelligence loser,” Citigroup Inc. analyst Arthur Truslove said in a note to clients, adding that last week ’s quarterly update wasn’t strong enough to change the narrative. Experian shares have been slower to react to concerns around AI than some peers. US-listed rival Equifax Inc. fell 15% last year while Experian was down just 2.4%. A UBS Group AG basket of European-listed stocks at risk of disruption from AI fell 25%. Citi is one of 20 banks with buy-equivalent ratings among 22 surveyed by Bloomberg. The shares have a consensus rating of 4.68 — where five means buy and one means sell — which is higher than 90% of FTSE 100 stocks. Truslove said his buy is intact, as he thinks AI will actually enable the company to increase productivity. “This could either result in more new product launches driving faster growth, or fewer resources being required to deliver levels of growth comparable to what we have seen in recent quarters and years,” the analyst said.

Nigella Lawson has been announced as the new judge on The Great British Bake Off. She replaces Prue Leith, who stepped down after nine seasons of judging contestants’ culinary creations, so she could spend summers enjoying her garden, explaining: “I’m 86 for goodness sake!” Lawson will join the programme for its next series, the 17th, which will launch later this year. She will serve alongside Paul Hollywood, who will continue in the role he has held since the baking competition launched on BBC Two in 2010. Lawson says: “I’m uncharacteristically rather lost for words right now! Of course it’s daunting to be following in the footsteps of Prue Leith and Mary Berry before her, great dames both, but I’m also bubbling with excitement. The Great British Bake Off is more than a television programme, it’s a national treasure – and it’s a huge honour to be entrusted with it.” Leith says: “I’m thrilled that Nigella is to experience brilliant Bake Off. She’s sassy, fun and she knows her onions – and her croissants, cake and crumble.” The TV chef has taken a break from British screens in recent years. Her last series, Nigella’s Cook, Eat, Repeat aired on BBC One in 2020, and she has appeared more on Australian television in the years since. She was a judge on the Australian culinary competition My Kitchen Rules in 2022 and 2023, having previously been a guest judge on the country’s version of MasterChef. Lawson has worked on Channel 4 before, with her first cooking series Nigella Bites appearing on the station. She was also previously a judge on a culinary show for the broadcaster when she appeared on The Taste, in which contestants prepared a single spoon of food for her, Anthony Bourdain and French chef Ludo Lefebvre. She joins The Great British Bake Off at a point when its ratings are far below their peak. On Channel 4 the show has never reached the viewing figures it achieved on BBC One, where it averaged 10 million viewers, but was nonetheless been a ratings success for th...

Get Into Cryptocurrency Trading Today AAPL's Critical Juncture: Why This Week Could Define Its Future AAPL Chart | TradingView In the relentless world of financial markets, every second counts. Apple Inc. (AAPL), a titan of the tech industry, stands at a precarious crossroads. With the stock recently underperforming despite a broader market upswing, investors are left on tenterhooks, questioning whether to brace for a downturn or anticipate a lucrative rally. This week could prove to be pivotal for AAPL, as it tests key technical levels that may dictate its short- and long-term trajectory. The market's mood currently embraces a "Risk-On" sentiment, thanks in part to strong performances from SPY and QQQ. However, AAPL has lagged, raising eyebrows. Compounding this uncertainty is the macro backdrop: a weakening U.S. dollar that could either bolster Apple's foreign revenue or signal broader economic malaise. Meanwhile, dropping bond yields nurture the growth stocks' potential, forming an intricate tapestry of opportunities and threats that AAPL finds itself woven into. Venturing deeper into Apple's current setup, the picture painted is one of tension and anticipation. The stock's short-term trend appears bearish, characterized by a dip from its recent peaks. Today's candlestick formation echoes the whispers of a potential reversal, hinted at by a "Hammer" pattern waiting for confirmation. Yet, the volume remains tepid—holding investors back from taking decisive action. Technical Analysis: Support, Resistance, and Indicators With the stage set, let's dive into the technical indicators and chart patterns that will either spell opportunity or foreshadow peril for AAPL. A sophisticated dance of support and resistance levels frames the stock's path: resistance looms at $250, with supportive hands reaching out at $244, $240, and a robust $230. Meanwhile, Fibonacci retracement levels—calculated meticulously—are poised at $253, $260, $267, and $274. These levels are not just n...

ronstik/iStock via Getty Images With the World Economic Forum having just taken place in Davos, Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) has been discussed between central bankers, institutional investors, and the like. In one interview , the CEO of Coinbase Global, Inc. ( COIN ) was very confrontational towards members of the TradFi (Traditional Finance) sector, mentioning that “banks are lending customers’ deposits without their permission.” In a different part of that same interview, the same Brian Armstrong called out a French Central Banker on a mistake relative to Bitcoin. The Banker incorrectly assumed that Bitcoins can be controlled by any participant in its network and brought that as an example of why independent central banking cannot be substituted. As an observer of the Crypto world, I am surprised by such conversations. I think they reveal how exponents from both “sides”—TradFi and DeFi (Decentralized Finance)—do not fully grasp the other side’s arguments and functioning. Today, I want to spend a few words to clarify what, in my view, is the role of Bitcoin in TradFi and why the two sides do not need to be at odds with each other, but rather realise they will need to coexist. Why Bitcoin is not an alternative to the global banking system How Banking Works (Project Instill) Anyone who has ever taken an Economics 101 course will be familiar with how banking works. In a nutshell, clients’ deposits are lent out at an interest rate to borrowers. The borrowing is done to a higher degree than the amounts available in deposits in the bank, meaning banks lend out more than they hold in deposits. This is the reason why fractional reserves exist in most legislation (with the notable exception of the US, where there has been no legally mandated minimum reserve ratio since 2020). I am surprised how sometimes this very basic function of our economy is brought up as an example of quasi-conspiracy. Yet, this is literally one of the core functions of our economic system. Businesses and gov...

The old rules said you had to choose: stealth or speed. The US picked stealth. Russia went fast. China is trying to throw away the rule book. Chinese researchers unveiled a development in aircraft design last month that could propel the nation’s next-generation stealth bombers into supersonic flight , ending the trade-off between speed and stealth that has troubled the American and Russian air forces for decades. Since the 1930s, scientists have been studying a type of aircraft called the flying wing . Unlike conventional aircraft, this configuration integrates the fuselage and wings into a single large side wing, which reduces air resistance, improves aerodynamic efficiency and range, and enhances stealth capabilities. The most iconic example of this design is the US B-2 Spirit bomber Advertisement However, this design comes with a trade-off. By eliminating the traditional tail, the plane responds quickly when pitching, but its long, thin wings can bend and shake in high-speed airflow, sometimes causing severe vibration across the entire aircraft. This vibration is known as “rigid-elastic coupled flutter”. Once it occurs, it can lead to flight instability in mild cases, or even cause instant mid-air disintegration in severe scenarios. Advertisement To avoid flutter risks, earlier flying-wing aircraft, including the B-2, have been limited to subsonic speeds. This inevitably compromises a bomber’s rapid response and penetration capability, making it difficult to evade modern air defence systems once detected.

The Sundance film festival, which is currently under way in Park City, Utah, saw a mass protest against the two fatal shootings in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Sunday, along with high-profile interventions from major film industry figures. Actor Natasha Lyonne was among those spreading social media posts about the protest, called “Sundancers Melt ICE”, which was called for Sunday afternoon. The organisers asked for a 10-minute “respectful” event at sunset on Park City’s Main Street to memorialise Renee Good, who was killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent on 7 January, and Alex Pretti, who was killed on Saturday by an agent of the Department of Homeland Security. Footage of the protest posted by Deadline showed participants holding up their lit phones and chanting “love melts ICE” as a small group of law enforcement officials looked on. Deadline reported that Lord of the Rings actor Elijah Wood was among the protesters, and told the publication: “The folks who have been unlawfully gunned down in Minnesota – it’s awful. Here we are at this film festival that is about bringing people together; it’s about telling stories from all over the world. We’re not divided here; we’re coming together.” Notable among figures making statements has been actor Natalie Portman, who wore “ICE out” and “Be Good” pins while conducting media duties at the festival. Portman also told Deadline: “What’s going on in this country right now is absolutely horrific. What the federal government, Trump’s government, Kristi Noem, ICE – what they’re doing is really the worst of the worst of humanity.” Actor and director Olivia Wilde also commented on the shootings on Saturday, telling Variety: “I’m appalled and sickened. We can’t go another day just sort of accepting this as our new norm. It’s outrageous. People are being murdered … And so if we can do anything out here to support the movement to cast ICE out, to delegitimise this unbelievably criminal organisation, then that’s wha...

Team with an average age of just under 29 finally ended their losing streak since turn of the year The biggest cheer of the afternoon at the BayArena was a result from elsewhere. A stunning first league defeat of the season for Bayern Munich at home to Augsburg was not important in any sort of title race context – any faint thoughts of that disappeared a while back, and not just for Bayer Leverkusen. No, the shock result of the afternoon, the week, the month, the season means that Xabi Alonso’s 2024 double winners remain the only unbeaten Bundesliga champions ever. “You’re welcome,” said Augsburg’s English language X account, quote-tweeting Leverkusen’s acknowledgment that their record would endure for at least a season more. And if ever Die Werkself needed a lift, it was here and now. They may have stopped the rot with a single-goal win over Werder Bremen, following a run of four losses in their previous six Bundesliga matches, but it was as bare minimum as the scoreline suggested. Against similarly out-of-form opponents (more so, in fact – Bremen last won on 7 November, nine games ago), they crawled to three points. “We are very relieved,” admitted Kasper Hjulmand with laudable candour.
