AUSTIN, TEXAS - MARCH 16: Neal Stephenson speaks onstage at 'KEYNOTE: Neal Stephenson' during the 2022 SXSW Conference and Festivals at Austin Convention Center on March 16, 2022 in Austin, Texas. (Photo by Amy E. Price/Getty Images for SXSW) | Getty Images for SXSW Neal Stephenson didn't invent the virtual reality headset . But Meta certainly knows his name - in 1992, his seminal cyberpunk novel Snow Crash coined the phrase "Metaverse" to describe a virtual reality world experienced through VR goggles. It inspired many key VR developers - and in 2021, Facebook decided to rename its entire company to Meta to chase that metaverse dream. Now, Stephenson says he no longer believes face-worn computing is the future. He thinks Meta's glasses are creepy: "People don't like wearing things on their faces and don't trust those who do." He thinks goggles are no longer the future in a world in a world filled with … Read the full story at The Verge.

MicroStockHub Wall Street slipped on Tuesday as investors remained focused on escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, particularly the evolving U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict. Market participants navigated a volatile backdrop shaped by rapid shifts in energy prices and broader risk sentiment. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ( DJI ) fell 0.1%, while the S&P 500 ( SP500 ) handed back 0.3%. Furthermore, the Nasdaq Composite ( COMP:IND ) underperformed, slipping 0.8% as weakness in technology shares weighed on the broader market. “It's all about the ongoing war in Iran, as markets move with daily developments,” said Seeking Alpha analyst Andrew Hecht . “Crude oil is trading higher and lower with the news cycle, and markets are following the energy commodity that powers the world.” He added that this dynamic is likely to persist until greater clarity emerges, cautioning that “stocks and bonds remain under pressure,” while precious metals have recently pulled back toward lows. As geopolitical developments fuel sharp intraday volatility, investors are likely to remain cautious while uncertainty continues to weigh on global financial markets.

Willie B. Thomas/DigitalVision via Getty Images Thesis The Iran war is not a locally contained issue but one that has ripple effects throughout the world's financial system. While as of now an investor can observe high oil prices and increasing costs at the pump, the secondary effects down the line are very substantial and will affect central bank monetary policy in the next year. A less visible effect of skyrocketing oil prices has been a reset in global rates, with yields spiking higher as market participants realized the Iran conflict might take longer than expected. In today's article we are going to revisit the SPDR Bloomberg International Treasury Bond ETF ( BWX ), a global bond ETF we covered two years ago. In that article we described the fund composition and its reaction to spiking rates in 2022, as well as our view on the investment vehicle. In today's article we are going to show readers why a prolonged crisis in the Middle East will likely negatively impact BWX via higher global rates. What does BWX hold? Let us start by looking at the fund's stated objective: The Bloomberg Global Treasury ex-US Capped Index is designed to track the fixed-rate local currency sovereign debt of investment grade countries outside the United States. The Index includes government bonds issued by investment grade countries outside the United States, in local currencies, that have a remaining maturity of one year or more and are rated investment grade. The ETF therefore holds international government bonds that are rated investment grade. The name does not hedge its currency exposure, thus providing for upside in a weak dollar environment. The main geographies currently present in the fund are as follows: Japan: 23.3% UK: 5% France: 4.9% China: 4.7% Canada: 4.6% Germany: 4.6% Spain: 4.5% Italy: 4.5% South Korea: 4.4% Australia: 4% Belgium: 3.7% Netherlands: 2.9% The ETF has a very wide geographic reach and is diversified. Some analytics for the name are: Number of holdings: 1,6...

NiseriN/iStock via Getty Images The Tortoise North American Pipeline Fund ETF ( TPYP ) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the price and yield performance of the Tortoise North American Pipeline Index. As the name of both the index and the fund suggests, the Tortoise North American Pipeline Index is an index designed specifically by Tortoise Capital for this fund that tracks the performance of several different corporations and master limited partnerships that own and operate crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids, and refined product pipelines in both the United States and Canada. While this fund does include exposure to several companies that are structured as master limited partnerships, it does not require investors to deal with the hassles of K-1 forms, and it can be included in a retirement account without the need to worry about unrelated business taxable income. This may be appealing to investors who wish to have some exposure to high-yielding and growing midstream master limited partnerships without the tax complications. About The Tortoise North American Pipeline Fund The website for the Tortoise North American Pipeline Fund offers the following description of the fund: TPYP uses a passive management approach and seeks to track the total return performance of the Tortoise North American Pipeline Index. This description admittedly does not really tell us very much. The Tortoise North American Pipeline Fund is technically a passively managed fund that seeks to track an index, much like many other exchange-traded funds that are available in the market. However, it does not tell us exactly what types of securities or assets that we can expect to find in the fund. After all, the name of the fund simply suggests that it invests in pipelines, but there are many different ways to invest in pipelines. If we look more closely at the fund, we see that the bulk of its assets consists of the common equities of companies that own and operate hydrocarbon ...

Between the fast-paced rise of artificial intelligence and lingering geopolitical tensions, uncertainty has been a key theme in 2026. This may have some investors feeling uneasy about adding more tech stocks to their portfolios. For investors looking to bolster portfolio stability, shifting some capital toward established dividend payers may make sense. Two excellent examples worth considering today are Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) and Tractor Supply (NASDAQ: TSCO) . Both businesses have a demonstrated ability to navigate challenging macroeconomic environments -- and they've been rewarding shareholders with dividends for years. Image source: Getty Images.

Amazon’s (AMZN) New Acquisition Brings It a Step Closer to Deploying Humanoid Robots TipRanks

Short sellers are easing off broad wagers against the software sector after a bruising winter slump, but positioning in several individual stocks suggests bearishness is still running rampant below the surface. Short interest as a percentage of float in the S & P 1500 Software Index has edged lower after peaking on Feb. 26, according to S3 Partners data. The moderation comes as the sector's slide cooled after declining 23% year to date. "The biggest thing for me is that the shorts still have conviction," said Ihor Dusaniwsky, managing director of predictive analytics at S3 Partners. "They are not building as much now, but that's because you kind of run out of exposure sometimes. If the market keeps going down, then I think you might see some more shorting." Investors have been questioning whether artificial intelligence competitors and automation tools could erode demand for traditional software licenses and workflows. Valuations once justified by steady subscription growth are being reevaluated as investors weigh the possibility that AI could permanently shrink long-term revenue potential. As a result, short sellers' focus is shifting to a subset of companies where bearish bets are still climbing. UiPath saw the largest one-month increase in short interest, with bets rising by 4 percentage points to 26.2% of float. The latest uptick has pushed the stock into what S3 calls "battleground" territory, with active long interest narrowing to just 1.31 times shares sold short — 139 million shares held long versus 107 million shares short. Other names drawing increased attention from short sellers include Sprinklr , Dropbox and Workday , all of which saw notable gains in short interest over the past month. The buildup highlights a more selective approach by investors, who are targeting specific companies with perceived vulnerabilities — even as aggregate sector positioning stabilizes.
