Rafael Nadal had one of the greatest tennis careers the game has ever seen. He also spent nearly all of it in pain. Between his first French Open win in 2005 and retirement in 2024, the Spaniard won 22 Grand Slam singles titles - the second-highest total of any man. He was part of the 'Big Three' era, where he, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic carved up the sport's biggest prizes and thrilled fans. But a chronic foot injury meant Nadal had to find different ways just to get through matches, let alone win them. In a new Netflix series, the 39-year-old opens up about the risks he took with his health in order to achieve greatness. "I've had to make decisions about my health, where you are on the borderline between right or wrong," Nadal said. "But if I hadn't explored all that, I probably would have had 10 fewer Grand Slams. I'm not saying one or two, I'm saying 10 or 12. This is the reality." In 2005 the long-haired, muscular teenage sensation announced himself to the world by winning the French Open at his first attempt, beating world number one Roger Federer in the semi-finals on his 19th birthday. He finished that season ranked second in the world, having won 11 singles titles. However, it was also the year Nadal's injury struggle began in earnest. After breaking his left foot during his Madrid Open final victory, Nadal was diagnosed with a rare degenerative condition called Mueller-Weiss syndrome., external Speaking to the BBC World Service's Sporting Witness programme, Nadal said the foot injury was "the origin of all my problems". "I had to stay over-positive, over-determined, always ready to try to find a solution to keep being competitive and find a way to be on court again," he said. "I went through, a couple of times in my career, a long process of injuries, but I think I was ready to accept that moment, to tolerate the frustration and to keep working with hope and passion. "The key was the suffering was less than than my passion and my happiness for what I...

Fang Zheng Costco ( COST ) saw record fuel sales volumes in the third quarter as shoppers flocked to its gas stations to pay less at the pump amid high oil prices driven by the Iran war. "All three four-week fiscal periods of the quarter set successive all-time company volume sales records, with the final five weeks of the quarter becoming our top 5 volume weeks ever," Costco ( COST ) CEO Ron Vachris said during an earnings call on Thursday. "The high consumer price sensitivity, which fueled these record volumes, also drove many members to use our gas stations for the very first time in Q3," he noted, adding that "this will drive even greater loyalty with these members in the future." Costco ( COST ) reported Q3 comparable sales growth of 9.8%, well above the consensus estimate of 7.8%. Gas price inflation positively impacted comp sales by about 2.2%. "Gas prices are very much on members' minds," said Costco ( COST ) CFO Gary Millerchip, as gas is now a bigger percentage of a member's total spend in the month because of higher prices. "We've widened our gaps in terms of price to make sure we're there for our members."

The trillion-dollar company that Warren Buffett helped build, Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA 0.27%)(BRKB 0.53%), has entered uncharted territory.

The trillion-dollar company that Warren Buffett helped build, Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA 0.27%)(BRKB 0.53%), has entered uncharted territory. For the first time in well over half a century, the Oracle of Omaha, who outperformed the benchmark S&P 500 (^GSPC +0.58%) by more than 6,000,000% over six decades, is not at the helm. But just because Buffett retired as CEO on Dec. 31 and handed the reins to his protégé, Greg Abel, it doesn't mean his legacy isn't lasting. Two weeks ago, an update of Warren Buffett's $786 million "secret" portfolio revealed that a time-tested investment and proven millionaire-maker is still the No. 1 holding. The Oracle of Omaha's "secret" portfolio is nothing like Berkshire's $333 billion portfolio In 1998, Berkshire Hathaway acquired General Re in an all-stock deal valued at approximately $22 billion. Though the catalyst of this deal was General Re's reinsurance operations, this wasn't the only puzzle piece of this acquisition. General Re also owned a specialty investment firm, New England Asset Management (NEAM). Upon completion of the deal, NEAM became a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway. Although Buffett didn't oversee NEAM's portfolio in the same way that he directed traffic for Berkshire's $333 billion investment portfolio, NEAM's assets are, ultimately, part of Berkshire. This connection is what makes NEAM Buffett's "secret" portfolio. Institutional investors with at least $100 million in assets under management are required to file a Form 13F with regulators every quarter, detailing their buying and selling activity. NEAM handily exceeds this threshold, allowing investors to track trades in this under-the-radar portfolio. New England Asset Management's latest 13F shows 99 holdings, with a big emphasis on exchange-traded funds (ETFs), preferred stocks, and time-tested dividend stocks. This is in stark contrast to Berkshire's concentrated investment portfolio. This top holding is a surefire moneymaker (with a catch) Sitting atop the pedes...

Alistair Berg/DigitalVision via Getty Images U. S. equity futures remained steady Friday morning, after a record-breaking day on Wall Street. Market sentiment is supported by strong tech earnings and diplomatic progress in the Middle East. However, ongoing market challenges are limiting overall trading volumes ahead of key economic updates. Here are some of Friday's biggest stock movers: Biggest stock gainers Dell Technologies ( DELL ) +38.4% - Shares advanced after posting record Q1 revenue of $43.8 billion (+88% YoY) and massive non-GAAP EPS of $4.86. The company also upped its full-year forecast for fiscal 2027 , as it now sees revenue between $165B and $169B, up from a prior range of $138B to $142B.

Analysts noted strong enterprise refresh activity and high demand for networking/cloud solutions. A clear path to a $3.00 EPS target for fiscal 2028 suggests a promising mid-to-high-teens earnings CAGR before Q2 earnings on June 1. NetApp ( NTAP ) +15.2% - Shares advanced after delivering strong Q4 earnings , beating top- and bottom-line expectations with an adjusted EPS of $2.43 on revenue of $1.95 billion, driven by robust expansion in high-margin all-flash storage arrays.

Key Points Ethereum is crypto's largest and most important venue for decentralized finance (DeFi). Hyperliquid has a small but quickly growing DeFi ecosystem. However, it's facing a lot of competition. 10 stocks we like better than Hyperliquid › Investors are always coming up with new narratives about new challengers rising and unseating the market's entrenched leaders. Today, there's a narrative that suggests Hyperliquid (CRYPTO: HYPE), a blockchain and decentralized crypto exchange for trading a type of derivative called perpetual futures, just might become the next Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH). That's more plausible than ever, considering that Hyperliquid spent its first year of existence bulldozing its competition in decentralized derivatives before starting to expand into the broader decentralized finance (DeFi) segment. DeFi is Ethereum's main reason for being, and in that respect it's way out in front. 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 » But becoming the next Ethereum is a big task. That network grew to be plenty big, but the more important factor is that it invented the very category it grew into. Whether Hyperliquid can follow that arc depends on several different factors, so let's analyze them and see if it has a shot at unseating the crypto sector's reigning DeFi champion. This chain has the energy of a unicorn tech start-up Hyperliquid's grip on the decentralized perpetuals market is hard to overstate. As of April 2026, it controlled more than 70% of open interest (OI) across decentralized perpetual markets, processing upward of $180 billion in monthly volume, which is more than every other on-chain derivatives platform combined. Perpetual futures contracts are essentially a way of making a leveraged bet on the direction that an asset is moving constantly, rather than using other...
