Criticism comes from across political spectrum after decision regarded as blow to Friedrich Merz’s government Germany’s unprecedented failure to win one of the rotating seats on the UN security council has sparked an intense round of soul searching in Berlin, and raised questions about its claims to international leadership under Friedrich Merz. The council vote on Wednesday, which elected Austria and Portugal to a two-year term along with Trinidad and Tobago and Zimbabwe, marked a blow to Merz’s struggling government, which has sought to position itself as a leading European voice on the world stage.

alexey_ds/E+ via Getty Images I am an income-oriented investor with very simple needs: A strong, stable, growing company A substantial, growing dividend. A bargain price. The first two are easy to find. The third one is not so easy in this volatile market. But bargains are there if you know how to look for them. The approach I use is Dividend Yield Theory (DYT), which begins with this premise: For stable, blue-chip dividend stocks with consistent business models, the dividend yield tends to revert to its historical mean over time. This article applies Dividend Yield Theory to Medtronic ( MDT ), and discusses Medtronic’s future in the context of recent performance and the FY2026 earnings report issued on June 3. Medtronic, plc Medtronic is in the healthcare equipment industry. It sells device-based medical therapies to healthcare systems, physicians, clinicians, and patients globally. It has three divisions: The Cardiovascular Portfolio, Neuroscience Portfolio, and Medical Surgical Portfolio. Revenue was $33.357 billion in 2024, distributed evenly between the US and international operations. It was founded in 1949 and is headquartered in Ireland. Initial Medtronic DYT analysis YCharts Intuit's yield is near a historic high, making it a good candidate for a DYT pick. Current share price: $78 Current dividend: $2.84 Current yield: 3.6% Historical mean yield since 2007: 2.2% Current yield is 64% above mean yield To return to the mean yield, the share price must increase 64%. 64 % of the current $ 78 price i s a gain of $ 50 and a final price of $ 128 /share. Total return also includes the dividends paid while the price recovery is in process. DYT is a long-term strategy, and four years is a typical time frame. Four years of the $2.84 dividend is $11.36 (expected dividend growth not included for simplicity).Therefore, the total gain expected is:$50 (price gain) + $11.36 (dividends) = $61.36. Total gain: 78.6 %, or 19.6 % a year. Other DYT considerations It would be quite...

The Coinbase logo is displayed on a smartphone with stock market percentages on the background. Omar Marques | SOPA Images | Lightrocket | Getty Images Coinbase on Thursday unveiled a new product that lets customers get price exposure to private companies before they go public, starting with a perpetual futures contract –better known as a "perp" – tied to SpaceX. Pre-IPO perps give traders the ability to speculate on the value of a private company without owning shares. Coinbase's first offering is the SpaceX Pre-IPO Perp, a derivative settled in the USDC stablecoin that tracks the private-market valuation of Elon Musk's space company. The product is only available to traders outside the U.S. The unveil comes amid growing demand by retail investors for exposure to high-profile private companies before they reach public markets – an opportunity historically reserved for venture capital firms, private equity funds and accredited investors – at a time when companies are staying private for longer. Binance, the largest crypto exchange in the world, also entered the pre-IPO perps market with SpaceX last month. The launch also comes against the backdrop of a slump in crypto prices seeing new lows this week. The price of bitcoin Thursday slid to $61,340.71, its lowest level since Feb. 6. Pre-IPO perps give Coinbase a way to expand on its vision of an "Everything Exchange" that always offers something users want to trade even in down or quiet markets. The idea is that diversification in trading offerings will help the company keep generating revenue even when trading of spot crypto slows. Perps are a type of futures contract that let investors speculate on an asset's price without an expiration date and utilizing leverage, without ever owning the underlying asset. They're one of the most popular ways to trade in crypto, accounting for more than 70% of all the volume on centralized global crypto exchanges, according to CoinGecko. Coinbase says once SpaceX goes public — which...
