Key Points The Motley Fool surveyed 2,000 retirees to find out what makes a place well-suited for retirement. Important factors include quality of life, healthcare access, and housing affordability. Some of the top places to retire are the results one might expect, while others were unexpected. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook › There's no right way to retire and no perfect amount to save. Everyone has their own preferences. Some prefer to live their lives exactly how they did before retirement, while others want to travel or purchase second homes. Others want to live an even simpler lifestyle than before. Regardless of how you want to retire, it's a good idea to set goals and plan. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » Looking at expert advice and public data can be helpful. Research can also help determine where you want to retire. The U.S. is massive, and there are many undiscovered gems that people may at least want to consider or weigh against their initial retirement destinations. Here are the top five best places to retire in the U.S., according to recent research from Motley Fool. How the survey was conducted Earlier this year, The Motley Fool analyzed every U.S. county using primary and secondary data. This included surveying 2,000 retired Americans to identify the best retirement locations by county. The Motley Fool first identified seven key retirement preferences, based on the survey results, and then assigned weights to them. The weights are as follows: Quality of life: 31% Healthcare access and quality: 15% Housing affordability: 13% Crime and safety: 12% Weather and climate: 12% State and local taxes: 11% Non-housing affordability: 6% The Motley Fool then applied these weightings to secondary data from eight public and institutional data ...

SweetBunFactory/iStock via Getty Images A tightening in memory chip supply, driven by accelerating capital expenditure on AI infrastructure, is redistributing earnings across the semiconductor sector, pressuring end-market customers while improving pricing power and margins for memory manufacturers. For smartphone chipmaker Qualcomm ( QCOM ), constrained component availability and shifting capital allocation towards AI servers rather than handsets threaten to make 2026 a challenging year. For SanDisk ( SNDK ), however, the imbalance is proving beneficial. NAND flash has become a critical enabler of AI workloads, supporting the vast data storage and retrieval demands of large language models and high-performance computing clusters. As hyperscalers accelerate investments in AI capacity, supply of enterprise solid-state drives (SSDs) has tightened, pushing up prices. Unlike more diversified memory players such as Samsung ( SSNLF ) (KRX:005930), SK hynix (HXSC.F) (KRX:000660), and Micron ( MU ), which are major suppliers of both DRAM and NAND, SanDisk is a pure-play NAND developer and manufacturer. Visible Alpha consensus estimates point to a sharp earnings jump for SanDisk driven by these market conditions. SanDisk's NAND and SSD bit shipments are projected to rise 23% year-on-year to 135,434 million units in 2026, while average selling prices are expected to climb 77% to $0.11 per bit. The combination of volume and pricing power is forecast to drive total revenue up 113% to $15.7 billion. Profitability is set to swing even more sharply. Net income is projected to reach $6 billion in 2026, compared with a $1.6 billion loss last year. Diluted earnings per share are expected to jump to $37.96 from a negative $11.32, underscoring the operational leverage inherent in memory markets when pricing turns favorable. However, the buoyant earnings outlook has done little to shield memory stocks from broader market volatility. US-listed memory stocks have fallen in tandem with the...

【宏福苑盜竊案｜警方加強保安】 大埔宏福苑早前發生盜竊案，警務處處長周一鳴今日表示，加強四項保安措施，包括加強人手、工人上樓不准帶超過一定現金，以及入屋前警察會先記錄單位有無明顯財物等。 三名負責宏福苑加固工程的工人，涉嫌在宏福苑宏泰閣單位內盜竊，政府責成檢視並加強保安。警務處處長周一鳴指，周一起會恢復加固工程，並有四項加強措施，包括增加警方人手，在現場設置儲物格，所有工人進入前，除手機，必須擺放個人財物等，每人上樓不准帶逾500元現金。進入單位前，警方先記錄及確認單位有無明顯財物。當工人完成工作，警方會利用金屬探測器等，加強向工人搜身。 警務處處長周一鳴表示：「我們要做鞏固工程，最主要的單位也是破壞得很嚴重的單位，不是說所有單位也要做加固工程。我明白很多市民很擔心自己的財物，但可能很不幸地，單位本身，有些單位損毀已很嚴重。(盜竊案)究竟是否冰山一角，我就不評論，但我一定會確保上址保安措施足夠。」 周一鳴稱，高峰期約有一百名工人進出屋苑，亦有其他政府人員等，強調警方亦會加強附近管控。 周一鳴說：「行動上不便詳細講會出動多少人，不過亦因應不同工程，或當日工程人數少點，相應會安排少點人手，若當日人多就安排多點人手，當然每組工人上去都有警員陪同。」 他又稱截至下午五時，收到81宗相關報案。 周一鳴指出：「我們都會跟進上樓看看，究竟單位會否已燒成灰燼等，絕大部分案件是一些居民稱對上址保安的關注，不是說懷疑被偷竊。」 他稱當中一宗報案涉及信用卡懷疑被盜用，會積極跟進。 【宏福苑長遠居住安排｜二千單位供「樓換樓」】 房委會交代宏福苑長遠安置方案中，各項「樓換樓」選項的單位數目，當中跟宏福苑面積相若的單位有約500個。有當區區議員稱，都要平衡其他輪候者需求。 政府建議收購大埔宏福苑當中七座樓、近1,800戶業權，業主之後可選擇「樓換樓」，選項包括2025年度的綠置居及居屋項目，共2,000個單位，將撥至「特設銷售計劃」。 根據房委會文件，啟德居屋啟陽苑佔最多，有750個單位；其次是提供610伙的九龍灣綠置居盛緻苑；第三多是將軍澳居屋影輝苑，有220個單位。若要跟宏福苑同面積的單位、即介乎431至483呎，六個項目合共有500個，滿350呎至約400呎就有共960個，9月揀樓。 宏福苑業主仍可選擇其他項目，例如400個房協在粉嶺及安達臣道的單位，以及2029年入伙的大埔頌雅路西項目...

President Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi are being sued by two investors who claim that the approval of a deal allowing TikTok to become a separate American-owned entity was unlawful. Zhaocheng Anthony Tan, who has stakes in Alphabet, and Garrett Reid, a shareholder in META, have initiated the lawsuit on Thursday. They argue that the deal allowing TikTok to spin off into a separate American-owned entity violated a law requiring its parent company, ByteDance, to divest from the app or face a U.S. ban. The Public Integrity Project, which filed the lawsuit, contends that the deal would let ByteDance maintain control over all key aspects of TikTok, defeating the intent of the TikTok Law. Don't Miss: Tan and Reid assert that the approval of the deal has resulted in financial harm to them as investors in competing companies, creating a “legal impediment to [their] financial recovery.” The lawsuit seeks to renegotiate the deal to prevent Trump administration allies from having the power to censor political content on one of the world's most popular media platforms. Notably, it does not seek to force a U.S. ban on TikTok. TikTok: A Timeline Of Events 2019 – U.S. national security concerns emerge over TikTok during Trump's first term. Officials and lawmakers warn that China's National Intelligence Law could force Chinese companies to share data with Beijing. 2020– Trump unsuccessfully tried to ban TikTok and ordered ByteDance to divest its stake in TikTok’s U.S. operations within 90 days. ByteDance challenged the order and was granted extensions. 2022- The U.S. banned TikTok on Federal devices.

【王毅談中美關係】 中共中央政治局委員、外長王毅舉行記者會，談及中美關係、伊朗及亞太局勢等。王毅表示，今年是中美關係「大年」，會有高層交往，促請美方相向而行，他同時不點名批評美國挑動陣營對立。 全國人大舉行外交主題記者會，外長王毅表示，當今世界變革、動亂相互交織，戰爭衝突此起彼伏，在動盪時期，中國會堅持公平正義，反對單邊霸凌。 外長王毅說：「元首外交是中國外交的定盤星，習近平主席親自擘畫指揮的中國外交，為動盪世界提供了最寶貴的穩定性和確定性。」 記者會其中一個焦點是中美關係，美國總統特朗普重掌白宮，兩國關係起伏，王毅表示，希望今年成為中美關係走向健康、穩定的一個標誌性年份。 王毅稱：「中美都是大國，我們都改變不了彼此，但是可以改變相處的方式，那就是秉持相互尊重的態度，守住和平共處的底線，爭取合作共贏的前景。今年確實是中美關係的大年，高層交往的議程，已經擺在我們的桌面上，我相信只要雙方以誠相待、以信相交，我們就能不斷拉長合作的清單，也持續縮短問題的清單。」 被問到中方是否接受，包括特朗普在內提出的「中美共治」框架，共同應對全球挑戰，或者中方提出哪種替代方案，王毅表明不認同「大國共治」。 王毅指出：「回看歷史，每一次大國爭霸，陣營對抗，都給人類帶來災難和痛苦，為此中國絕不走國強必霸的老路，也不認同大國共治的邏輯。至於國際格局應如何發展，中國的方案就是建設平等有序的世界多極化，大國擁有更多資源、更大能力，更應該展現胸懷擔當，帶頭守規矩、講信用、遵法治。中國願意繼續做變革世界的建設性力量，同各國一道共同迎接多極世界的到來。」 王毅又不點名批評美國對全球挑起貿易戰。 王毅表示：「世界經濟遭遇逆風，全球化也出現了逆流，我們看到個別國家大搞關稅壁壘，脫鈎斷鏈，這無異於抱薪取火、抱薪救火，最終將反噬其身。」 記者會進行了約一個半小時，王毅共回答了二十個中外記者提問。 【日本被質疑試圖放棄《和平憲法》】 外長王毅再次批評日本首相高市早苗涉台言論，質疑日本試圖放棄《和平憲法》，他又抨擊台灣民進黨是破壞台海穩定的根源。 日本首相高市早苗上月帶領自民黨贏得大選，在外長記者會上，有日本記者問到中日關係走向，外長王毅稱取決於日本的選擇，但質疑高市的意圖。 外長王毅說：「眾所周知，行使自衛權是以本國遭到武裝攻擊為前提，試問台灣事務是中國內政，日本有甚麼資格來插手？中國的台灣地區出了事，日本有甚麼...

"I asked them how I could go about getting into that trade," he said. Part of the appeal, he said, was working with his hands. "Initially, I really didn't know what I wanted to do. I went to college and then left," he said. "I sort of bounced around from job to job throughout the years until I eventually landed on trades." Vandall is now enrolled in Rosedale Technical College in Pittsburgh.

Even before last weekend, Pacific Investment Management Co.’s Daniel Ivascyn was preparing for turbulence. With AI-related jitters reverberating through markets and private credit tremors setting off alarms, the chief investment officer at Pimco and manager of the world’s largest active bond fund was making adjustments — reducing corporate credit and stockpiling cash-equivalent holdings that could be quickly sold to take advantage of any dislocations, while still favoring medium-dated Treasuries. “Then a war breaks out in the Middle East,” Ivascyn said in an interview, “and now you have additional concerns.” Just as investors closed their books on a month when mounting concerns over corporate risks fueled demand for the perceived safety of Treasuries, the US-Israeli attack on Iran raised a whole new set of worries — and triggered a different response. Instead of acting as a refuge, US government bonds took their cue from surging crude prices and yields shot up, with inflation fears taking center stage at a time when prices are already running higher than central banks would like. “That’s the type of tension in terms of markets that we have seen in the last few days,” Ivascyn said. Then at week’s end, a report showing a surprise drop in US payrolls added yet another cross-current to the mix, and raised the specter of stagflation. As hostilities in the Middle East grind on for a second week, the human toll and geopolitical ramifications of the war remain of paramount concern. But for investors in the $31 trillion US bond market, the conflict has also served to complicate a defining trade for 2026 that had seemed straightforward: collect interest of around 4% and wait for the Federal Reserve, under its incoming chair, to resume cutting interest rates. While that strategy is still working, risks are on the rise, with more spinning plates to juggle. ‘Serious Move’ The unfolding conflict has forced some of the world’s largest asset managers to reassess their assumptions a...

Police investigate an explosion outside the U.S. Embassy in Oslo toggle caption Hans O. Torgersen/AP/NTB Scanpix OSLO — Norwegian police are investigating an explosion outside the U.S. Embassy in Oslo early Sunday, officials said. No injuries were reported. Police received reports of a "loud bang" or explosion around 1 a.m., Oslo police said in a news release. The explosion was caused by some sort of incendiary device, Oslo police representative Frode Larsen said during a news conference Sunday. Investigators believe the embassy was the target and are searching for the perpetrators and their motive. Local media reported minor damage to an entrance of the embassy, and people nearby said the street was blanketed in thick smoke following the blast. Police are seeking to talk to witnesses. Sponsor Message PST, the Norwegian police security service, called in additional personnel following the incident but has not changed the country's terror threat level, according to communication adviser Martin Bernsen. "This is an unacceptable incident that is being treated with the utmost seriousness," said Astri Aas-Hansen, Norway's minister of justice and public security. "The police have stated that they are investigating the case with significant resources, and that nothing indicates the situation poses any danger to the public." The U.S. Embassy in Oslo referred media queries to the U.S. State Department, which did not immediately return a request for comment. Nor did Oslo police. Other details were not available.

Key Points Dividend King Becton, Dickinson has an incredible dividend history and an attractive yield. Medtronic's dividend history is impressive, but the real draw is the growth potential of its new surgical robot. 10 stocks we like better than Becton › Most investors don't associate the healthcare sector with dividends, but there are some pretty impressive dividend stocks to be had. Two that stand out today are Becton, Dickinson (NYSE: BDX) and Medtronic (NYSE: MDT). Here's why these unstoppable dividend stocks could find a home in your portfolio today. Becton, Dickinson is a Dividend King The big dividend story with Becton, Dickinson is that it has increased its dividend annually for more than 50 years, placing it on the highly elite list of Dividend Kings. Becton, Dickinson isn't really a headline player, like Eli Lilly is with its dominant GLP-1 drugs. Becton, Dickinson is more of a "pick-and-shovel" play, with a large medical-surgical business (basics like syringes) and medical device operations, among other things.

And it just completed the spinoff of a division that didn't fit well with the rest of its business. That should allow management to focus more keenly on returning to growth.

格隆汇3月8日｜美国能源部长Wright表示，（美西方）对俄罗斯石油的（制裁）政策没有变化。

格隆汇3月8日｜招商证券策略研究认为，在地缘冲突持续升温的阶段，市场的核心矛盾往往不再停留于产业趋势和经济周期，而是迅速转向供给安全、运输安全和战略资源保障；油气与航运是地缘风险升温背景下的两条主线。地缘冲突对A股市场的影响机制主要通过风险偏好、大宗商品价格和供应链冲击渠道传导。美伊冲突升级对A股的负面影响有望在短期释放，若霍尔木兹海峡持续封锁，或引发产业链成本重定价与能源替代加速，石油、航运、化工、煤炭有望受益。目前美伊冲突推动市场逻辑从避险转向再通胀担忧，因油价上涨推高通胀预期，打压美联储降息前景并导致多数资产下跌。若冲突缓和，油价回落将修复风险偏好并缓解全球美元流动性；若升级为长期战争，则将引发更严重的全球流动性冲击。

Continue » Dutch Bros (NYSE: BROS) is not a typical restaurant stock. With most companies, investors have to worry about market saturation. Not with Dutch Bros. The coffee chain, based in the Pacific Northwest with 1,136 shops, thinks it can reach 3,500 locations before leaving the markets it's already in. If you live east of Texas, you probably have never heard of Dutch Bros. The company sells cold beverages, coffee, and energy drinks through the drive-thru. That's pretty much the operational complexity-small footprint, minimal staffing, and iced drinks on the go. The model is simple. The important part: Its customers love it. Roughly 7 in 10 transactions come from its 15 million loyalty members. The company just posted its 19th consecutive year of positive SSS growth. The model works, and it's no surprise it's spreading eastward. More than coffee Blue Rebel is the company's proprietary energy drink line. Think "have it your way" energy drinks at the window. Introduced in 2012, customized energy drinks now account for around 25% of total sales. The category is outpacing coffee consumption industrywide, and Blue Rebel skews heavily toward Gen Z at generally higher margins. That said, all of us who choose not to partake in the pulse-pounding know that coffee consumption's not going anywhere either. Over half of all U.S. coffee is now purchased at the drive-thru.

As missiles and drones curtail energy production across the Persian Gulf, analysts warn that water, not oil, may be the resource most at risk in the energy-rich but arid region. Hundreds of desalination plants sit along the Persian Gulf coast, putting individual systems that supply water to millions within range of Iranian missile or drone strikes. Without them, major cities could not sustain their current populations. In Kuwait, about 90 per cent of drinking water comes from desalination, along with roughly 86 per cent in Oman and about 70 per cent in Saudi Arabia. The technology removes salt from seawater – most commonly by pushing it through ultrafine membranes in a process known as reverse osmosis – to produce the freshwater that sustains cities, hotels, industry and some agriculture across one of the world’s driest regions. Advertisement For people living outside the Middle East, the main concern of the Iran war has been the impact on energy prices. The Gulf produces about a third of the world’s crude exports, and energy revenues underpin national economies. Fighting has already halted tanker traffic through key shipping routes and disrupted port activity, forcing some producers to curb exports as storage tanks fill. But the infrastructure that keeps Gulf cities supplied with drinking water may be equally vulnerable. Advertisement “Everyone thinks of Saudi Arabia and their neighbours as petrostates. But I call them saltwater kingdoms. They’re man-made fossil-fuelled water superpowers,” said Michael Christopher Low, director of the Middle East Center at the University of Utah. “It’s both a monumental achievement of the 20th century and a certain kind of vulnerability.” Early signs of risk

The Bretton Whoops Authored by 'No1' via Gold and Geopolitics substack, The bombs make headlines. The economic unraveling happening quietly underneath them don’t. So before we get back to the daily carnage, let's talk about money. It used to be funny, in a rich man's world. The world didn’t wake up one morning and decide to distrust the dollar. It was a process. Gradually, then suddenly, as these things tend to go. It started with Venezuela. In 2019, Caracas asked the Bank of England to return its own gold - 31 tonnes, sitting in a vault in London, belonging to the Venezuelan central bank. The Bank of England said no. The justification was creative: London had decided to recognise a man who had never won an election as Venezuela’s “legitimate” president, so it couldn’t very well hand $2 billion in gold to the actual government. Problem solved. Maduro was a dictator, everyone agreed he was terrible, and so the consensus was essentially: who cares. Everyone filed it under “rogue state gets what it deserves” and moved on. Then Russia i nvaded Ukraine in 2022, and $300 billion in Russian sovereign reserves got frozen overnight. Again, the justification was airtight, the villain was obvious, and the Western financial world applauded itself. What nobody wanted to discuss was the precedent. Assets held in Western financial institutions were no longer safe if the political winds shifted against you. That was new. That was genuinely new. And every central bank and sovereign wealth fund on earth noticed, even if they did say nothing publicly. Then Trump came back. Tariffs on allies. Threats to annex Greenland. The implicit message that the post-war security architecture was now a negotiable service rather than a commitment. The dollar’s reserve currency status had always rested on two pillars: the dominance of the US economy, and the reliability of the US government as a custodian of the system. One of those pillars was now being kicked. By the time the Iran war started, the ...

zimmytws/iStock via Getty Images A coalition of nearly a dozen states has sued the Trump administration to block the 10% global tariff imposed after a recent US Supreme Court decision on tariffs. President Donald Trump signed a proclamation on Feb. 20 implementing a 10% global tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, the same day the high court overturned his country-specific duties. The law authorizes a president to impose temporary tariffs of up to 15% for 150 days. The coalition, led by New York Attorney General Letitia James, filed a lawsuit with the US Court of International Trade on March 5. The states are seeking an order blocking Section 122 tariffs from taking effect and requiring the federal government to refund tariffs costs paid by the states. The lawsuit argues that the tariffs do not meet the requirements of Section 122 and violate the Constitution's separation of powers. The states contend that only Congress has the authority to tax and impose tariffs. The Supreme Court cited a similar argument in its earlier decision, finding that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977, which Trump invoked to impose country-specific duties, does not authorize a president to impose tariffs through executive action. The coalition also argues that Trump's order fails to meet other Section 122 requirements, including that tariffs be applied consistently without product exceptions and that they address a qualifying "balance of payments" deficit required by the law. In the filing, the states said that Trump's changes to tariff policy have created significant costs for the states as agencies attempt to interpret policy through social media posts, executive orders, proclamations, and other sources. The Trump administration will "vigorously defend the president's action in court," White House spokesperson Kush Desai said in a statement to Platts, part of S&P Global Energy. "The President is using his authority granted by Congress to address fundamen...

Available for over a year Today, we look at the extent to which the lessons learned from the Iraq war has shaped the UK's response to the war in Iran. Keir Starmer has taken a position somewhere between full support of Donald Trump’s actions, and direct criticism of them. In a post on Truth Social, the US president criticised the UK for being less than 100% supportive, saying ‘we will remember’ and "We don't need people that join Wars after we've already won!" On Friday, former Labour Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair told a private event that the UK should have backed the strikes from the beginning. But is Keir Starmer’s decision making being guided by some of the failures of the 2003 Iraq war, which Blair led the UK into? You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.
