Keeping tabs on where billionaire investors are putting their money is a good idea. While you shouldn't blindly follow their moves, their holdings can be a great source of inspiration for retail investors. One popular billionaire to follow is Bill Ackman, who has had a strong track record of success at his hedge fund, Pershing Square Capital Management. Ackman keeps a fairly concentrated portfolio, so when he takes a position, investors should pay attention. During Q1, he sold a number of stocks, but he bought only two: Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) . These both look like smart stock picks, but are they still good buys?

US Military Hasn't Identified A Single Confirmed Mine In Strait Of Hormuz, Officials Tell NBC Just a few hours after President Trump boasted that the US Navy had detonated "numerous" Iranian sea mines, NBC News reported that, even after three months of warfare, the US military has yet to confirm the presence of even a single mine in the strategically critical Strait of Hormuz . Citing two US officials and a "person familiar with the matter," NBC said relentless searches of the waterway by aerial and undersea drones haven't found any confirmed mines, merely finding some objects that might be mines. “If anything, the threat has been far less robust than we had feared,” the person "familiar with the matter" told NBC. The USS Santa Barbara, a littoral combat ship, is configured for minesweeping duties (Navy photo) Around the time Trump decided to join Israel in launching a war on Iran in the midst of ongoing negotiations in which Tehran had offered major concessions along the lines of what Trump is demanding today, US intelligence officials believed Iran had placed mines on the south side of the strait ahead of the shooting or shortly thereafter , said NBC . Allies had likewise reportedly concluded that Iran had deployed sea mines. The mine menace was said to be so formidable that, in April, a Pentagon official speaking to US legislators in a classified session said that fully clearing the strait of mines could take six months . In a Friday morning social media post in which he foreshadowed a potential ceasefire agreement that would end restrictions on commerce through the Strait of Hormuz, Trump boasted that the US Navy had "removed, through detonation, numerous such mines with our great underwater mine sweepers." The NBC report seemingly contradicts multiple CBS News reports. Most recently, on May 19, the outlet reported that US intelligence had identified " at least 10 mines " in the strait. Back in March CBS reported that an official said there were at least a dozen...

I own exactly two technology stocks, International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM) and Texas Instruments (NASDAQ: TXN) . Technology changes so quickly that I'm reluctant to buy trendy stocks in the sector, but old stalwarts with long histories of rewarding investors with dividend increases are right up my alley. Of the two tech stocks I own, I think IBM is the most misunderstood. Not just today, but from a big-picture perspective. Here's why and why I'm happily buying more shares every time I get a quarterly dividend check. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

2nd T20i: Eng, 168-5, bt India, 142-9, by 26 runs India’s decision to retire out Bhatia in run chase backfires Freya Kemp smashed an unbeaten 39 from 13 balls as England finally unleashed some batting firepower to post 168 for five and beat India by 26 runs in the second T20 international. Kemp found able support from Dani Gibson as England’s two finishers added 39 from the final two overs to level the series. The pressure told on India’s fielders, who – after earlier offering Sophia Dunkley a life on nought – twice let the ball slip through their fingers, as Kemp and Gibson showed off their athleticism between the wickets. But mostly the runs came courtesy of good placement and huge power hitting, as Kemp in particular let loose her arms, smashing two sixes and four fours down the ground. Continue reading...

magical_light/iStock via Getty Images Income investing appears to be quite straightforward, as an investor needs to simply: Find securities that pay high yields Buy them And then sit back and let the dividends flow The basic concept is indeed simple, and it is part of the beauty of being an income investor. However, there are numerous pitfalls that income investors fall into that can ultimately sabotage their portfolio and lead to very disappointing long-term results. This is why many times investors buy a high-yielding investment that looks perfect on paper, only to later have it slash its distribution and/or see their principal erode significantly. In this article, I'm going to share four common misconceptions that are extremely costly to income investors. Hopefully, you can use the lessons from this article as a diagnostic tool to help you think about your income investment selection process more clearly and hopefully make fewer costly mistakes over time. Misconception #1: High Yield Automatically Means High Income The first common misconception is that high yield automatically means high income. Ultimately, yield is just a ratio, not a measure of the actual durable income. Mistaking a high yield for sustainable income over time is one of the biggest and most expensive mistakes an income investor can make. Keep in mind that just because a stock has a high yield does not mean it is a phenomenal income stock. In fact, many times it means just the opposite. This is because stock yield rises whenever a stock price falls, meaning that many times the higher-yielding stocks are the ones that have seen their stock prices fall the most dramatically recently. Now, this may genuinely reveal a golden buying opportunity, but many times it signals a yield trap where smart money exits a company because it sees that the company has major issues ahead, whether they be balance sheet issues or issues of the actual underlying operating business that it expects will lead to its divid...

Joe Hendrickson What are the best prediction market stocks right now for investors? Seeking Alpha analysts The J Thesis and Caffital Research offer their picks. The J Thesis : Quite honestly, I’d have to go with the biggest names, such as Robinhood ( HOOD ), Interactive Brokers ( IBKR ), and Coinbase ( COIN ). Why? They have the biggest platforms, alongside the largest user bases. I think that’s important and could accelerate prediction market adoption. These platforms also have solid reputations, and that’s significant for new products. Prediction markets are becoming an important tool to forecast the future. I think the segment remains in the early innings, and that’s why adoption remains crucial. I think prediction markets will eventually become an offering to an everything app. That’s why I’d go with the best platforms out there. Caffital Research : I believe that DraftKings ( DKNG ) and Flutter Entertainment ( FLUT ) are the best prediction market stocks. These picks do seem unintuitive on the surface; the current market narrative is that as the two U.S. sports betting leaders, the companies are disadvantaged by competition arising from prediction market platforms. What makes DraftKings and Flutter attractive picks are the companies’ own entries into prediction markets. DraftKings Predictions and FanDuel Predicts increase the companies’ market reach into new states and contract categories while benefiting from the brands’ previous billion-dollar marketing investments that have created widespread brand recognition. For now, disruption from other prediction market platforms has been minimal. Both stocks have been on a sharp downward trend, pricing in the rise of prediction markets as a significant headwind but forgetting the market launches as a potential tailwind.
