Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has been one of the best-performing stocks in the artificial intelligence (AI) era, which isn't surprising, as its chips have been instrumental in the training of large language models (LLMs) over the years. An investment of $1,000 made in Nvidia stock three years ago is now worth more than $5,400. The good news for Nvidia investors is that its growth continues to accelerate. This was evident from Nvidia's latest quarterly report . However, the stock's returns have been lukewarm so far this year, with shares gaining just 14% despite the consistently solid growth that Nvidia has been clocking. There are a few reasons this may be the case, such as rising competition in AI chips and concerns about Nvidia's ability to deliver further upside after becoming the largest company in the world. However, the market may be making a big mistake by viewing Nvidia's AI prospects in isolation. It has been expanding its wings in AI by investing in other companies that are playing a critical role in this space. Continue reading
One of the world's biggest data center projects was designed to be nearly three times the size of Manhattan, stretching across multiple Utah sites. But intense local backlash in Box Elder County has now pushed the developer to cut the project plans in half before construction starts.

One of the world's biggest data center projects was designed to be nearly three times the size of Manhattan, stretching across multiple Utah sites. But intense local backlash in Box Elder County has now pushed the developer to cut the project plans in half before construction starts. Residents' top concern was the Stratos data center project draining local waters, and they were willing to pay to protect them, most especially the vulnerable Great Salt Lake. Many locals paid a $15 fee to register comments to block the transfer of 1,900 acre-feet of water from a ranch to the hyperscale data center. Other concerns include electricity bills rising and potential risks to air quality, local wildlife, and land. Venture capitalist Kevin O'Leary, chair of O'Leary Digital and Shark Tank investor, is behind the construction of the project. He told a local ABC affiliate that he regrets not working with state officials to be more transparent about the project from the beginning. Read full article Comments

His friends and family decided they didn’t want to honor his legacy with just another fundraising dinner so they came up with something new: Investors would pitch trades in punchy 15 minute “ best idea ” presentations and the audience would pay to listen. The sessions could help attendees make money while also raising funds for childhood cancer. The concept struck a chord and over the past 30 years, the organization has raised more than $150 million globally from New York to Hong Kong. Last year, Aaron Stern, the founder and CIO of Converium Capital, a hedge fund focused on distressed situations, decided to bring the conference to his hometown of Montreal. Stern, who started his career in Credit Suisse’s levfin group before running non-US activist campaigns at Fir Tree, had been a serial presenter at editions since 2016, when Oasis Management’s CIO Seth Fischer first invited him to present. This year’s event, taking place on Thursday in downtown Montreal, raised C$1.4 million ($1 million)—up from C$1.27 million last year—for local pediatric hospitals. “Both years we had a capacity room, couldn’t have any more,” Stern said in an interview on the sidelines. “What we try to do each year is have a variety of speakers from different backgrounds, different places and different styles.” Ira’s brother, Evan Sohn, kicked off the agenda in the morni...
Turning 55 can be a wake-up call for retirement savers. You're only seven years from being eligible for Social Security (albeit at a reduced rate) and you're 10 years away from Medicare enrollment. And while retirement might still seem far away, you don't have unlimited time to make up for missing savings. If your IRA or 401(k) isn't where you want it to be by 55, you're not alone.
