Finding high-reward, low-risk stocks isn't easy. There aren't a ton out there, as most of the time the market prices risky stocks lower and safe stocks higher to reflect the relative risk.

It is delivering strong growth, has major upside driven by artificial intelligence (AI) in its future, yet trades for an attractive valuation. Now is the perfect time to scoop up shares, and investors should take advantage while the market isn't paying attention. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

Trump Admin Announces $850MM To Modernize US Coal Capacity, Build 2 New Plants By Robert Walton of UtilityDive The Trump administration approved 76 coal-related permits in more than a year of efforts to revive the flagging fuel and execute an agenda of “energy dominance.” His latest attempt includes tapping Defense Production Act funding to expand the industry. “Last year we prevented 17 GW of coal-powered electricity from going offline. That’s enough power for about 13 million homes, and at a very low price. It’s the lowest price,” Trump said of coal resources. But critics say the opposite is true. “This move, along with the President blocking the retirement of old coal plants that are too costly to operate, is making most Americans poorer,” Jenkins said. “This is a total misuse of the Defense Production Act, a giant giftwrapped payout to subsidize and prop up a flailing industry that can no longer compete in the free market.” The coal funding is “another example of Trump ignoring the affordability crisis,” Tyson Slocum, director of Public Citizen’s energy program, said in a statement. “Abusing emergency authorities to justify subsidies for coal is a waste of taxpayer dollars and a clear giveaway to an absurdly outdated, expensive and dirty fossil fuel.” DOE said it plans to use up to $425 million in Defense Production Act Title III funds to support a dozen coal-plant projects and $75 million for the West Gateway Terminal Project, to operate a rail-served marine export terminal. The coal projects include: $19 million for Arizona Electric Power Cooperative to modernize and extend the operating life the Apache Generating Station near Cochise, Arizona; $33 million for Duke Energy Kentucky to boost generating capacity at its East Bend Station in Boone County, Kentucky; $22.5 million for Oklahoma Gas and Electric’s Sooner DCS Modernization Project near Red Rock, Oklahoma, to modernize the facility’s distributed control system to maintain reliability and improve efficien...

koto_feja/iStock via Getty Images Stock futures pointed lower on Monday after a sharp selloff in technology shares and stronger-than-expected U.S. employment data fueled expectations that the Federal Reserve may raise interest rates later this year. Nasdaq 100 ( US100:IND ) futures fell 0.5% after the index posted its steepest one-day decline since April 2025 on Friday. S&P 500 ( SPX ) futures lost 0.4%. Asian markets also faced pressure, with Japan's Nikkei 225 and South Korea's Kospi set for declines following last week's weakness in technology stocks. Oil prices climbed as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East resurfaced. Brent crude ( CO1:COM ) rose 2.9% to almost $96 a barrel after Iran launched missiles toward Israel, raising concerns about potential disruptions to energy supplies. Gold (XAUUSD) slipped to around $4,317 an ounce, while the U.S. dollar ( DXY ) gained ground against most major currencies. Bitcoin (BTC:USD) traded near $62,000 after briefly dropping below $60,000, its lowest level since late 2024. Friday's market decline followed a stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs report that reinforced expectations the Fed could tighten monetary policy further to contain inflation pressures. Treasury prices fell as traders increased bets on a rate hike, pushing yields higher. The simultaneous decline in stocks and bonds marked one of the most significant setbacks for investors in recent months. Since late March, markets had been buoyed by optimism surrounding efforts to ease tensions in the Middle East and continued enthusiasm for artificial intelligence-related investments. That optimism has recently come under pressure as investors weigh elevated equity valuations, rising oil prices and the possibility of higher borrowing costs. Concerns are also growing that enthusiasm surrounding AI-linked stocks may have pushed share prices ahead of fundamentals. Matt Maley, chief market strategist at Miller Tabak, said the recent pullback could develop into a more subst...

In your first year of retirement, you withdraw 4% of your portfolio. After that, you adjust your withdrawals annually for inflation. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading
