00:00 Jason We have an enormous shortage of skilled workers in this country and we have uh misalignment in our higher education system. There's a paradox that record numbers of college graduates can't find jobs at the same moment record numbers of employers can't find qualified workers to fill the most in demand jobs, and those are in the skilled trades. When you think about data centers, earlier in the segment you were talking about chip manufacturing, semiconductors, ship building, nuclear, returning, uh manufacturing to this country, the infrastructure repair that needs done, locks and dams, roads and bridges, airports. In America, there's a lot of work to be done and there just aren't enough workers to do it. and the AI displacements are part of the issue, but the bigger issue is just demographic factors and there're not being enough skilled workers to do the most in-demand jobs. 00:54 Speaker B When you talk about that that shortage, Jason, of of skilled labor, can you frame that, quantify that for us? How how much of a shortage are we talking about? 01:08 Jason It is estimated that each year, this is a Lightcast study, each year 2.9 million job postings occur in America for the skilled trades. So think about everything from heavy equipment, to construction, to electricians, Hvacs, aviation, auto techs, truck driving, all of those, 2.9 million job vacancies and the sum total of our education and training system produces about 1.25 million graduates each year. So we're short about 1.7 million. That's every year. The Department of Education estimates that by the end of this decade will go up over 2 million job openings every year that go unfilled and that's an economic impact to the country of over a trillion dollars. And everyone is weighing in about this all across Wall Street across the finance industry, JP Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Palantir, the US Chamber of Commerce, Wells Fargo. They've all called this a national security issue. It harms American compet...

Since the war in Iran began on Feb. 28, it has been a chain reaction that has, unfortunately, weighed on many people's wallets and purses. Iran drastically reduced the number of ships allowed through the Strait of Hormuz, which facilitates the transportation of roughly 25% of the world's crude oil (oil used to make gasoline and diesel). This has increased the price of crude oil by around 45%, pushing it above $100 per barrel. On the flip side, energy companies have been posting record profits, and energy stocks have surged as investors look to capitalize. But considering the momentum energy stocks have had to start the year, are they still a good choice for someone looking to begin or add to their stake, or has that ship sailed? How has the energy sector performed this year? The S&P 500 categorizes companies into 11 major sectors. This year, the energy sector has outperformed the others by a long shot. Through May 25, the S&P 500 energy sector is up 31.5%. The next three best-performing sectors are tech, real estate, and industrials. The three largest U.S. energy companies by market cap -- ExxonMobil, Chevron, and ConocoPhillips -- are up 28.7%, 25.6%, and 28.7% year to date, respectively. Is it too late to buy energy stocks? If you're looking to buy energy stocks hoping to replicate the gains so far this year, the answer is yes: It's probably too late. We can't predict how stocks will perform, but much of the geopolitical uncertainty and rising oil prices have likely been priced into the market. However, if you're a long-term investor (which you should be), the answer is no: It's absolutely not too late to buy energy stocks. The energy sector is cyclical, flourishing when supply is low and demand is high, and underperforming when the market is oversupplied. Right now, it's near the peak of the cycle, but it won't always be that way. Over the long run, however, the energy sector has shown resilience. You never want to get in the habit of investing in a company, indu...

Investing.com -- Cybersecurity stocks faced a bruising session on Wednesday as a combination of new competition from Google and a disappointing corporate outlook triggered a broad sector selloff. CrowdStrike Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:CRWD) shares fell 3.4% Wednesday after Alphabet Inc Class A (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Cloud announced the launch of Google AI Threat Defense, a comprehensive AI-powered cybersecurity platform designed to autonomously detect and remediate security threats. Palo Alto Networks Inc (NASDAQ:PANW) declined 3%, while the First Trust NASDAQ Cybersecurity ETF (NASDAQ:CIBR) dropped 2.7% as investors assessed the competitive implications of Google's entry into autonomous security solutions. Compounding the pressure was Zscaler Inc (NASDAQ:ZS), which saw its stock plunge 31% following its fiscal third-quarter earnings report released after the close on Tuesday. The cloud security company ignited a wave of selling after slashing its free cash flow outlook and providing a below-consensus Q4 revenue guide, alongside a sobering preliminary look at fiscal year 2027 growth that caught Wall Street off guard. Google AI Threat Defense combines the capabilities of Gemini, Wiz, CodeMender, and Mandiant to create an automated security system that identifies vulnerabilities, prioritizes threats based on real-world risk, and generates verified fixes. The platform aims to address the growing challenge of AI-powered cyber attacks that can exploit vulnerabilities in hours rather than weeks. The solution operates across four stages: preparing defenses, scanning and prioritizing threats using multiple AI models, remediating vulnerabilities with automated code fixes, and continuously monitoring for new attacks. Google said the platform uses Wiz to continuously scan cloud environments and exposed applications, while CodeMender generates vulnerability fixes directly in developer tools. Unlike traditional security tools that generate large volumes of alerts, Google AI Threat Defense pri...

股东权益律师事务所Kaskela Law LLC今日宣布,已对Select Medical Holdings Corporation(纽约证券交易所代码:SEM)近期宣布的拟议收购案展开调查,以确定该交易对股东是否公平,以及是否能为投资者所持股份提供足够对价。Kaskela Law特别鼓励SEM股东主动联系律所,探讨其合法权利及寻求额外补偿的选项。 此项调查源于Select Medical于2026年3月2日宣布的私有化协议。根据协议,由公司执行主席Robert A. Ortenzio、执行官Martin F. Jackson以及私募股权公司Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe组成的财团(合计持有SEM约11.8%股份),将以每股16.50美元现金的价格收购其尚未持有的所有流通股份。该报价较公告前一日(3月2日)14.80美元的收盘价溢价约10%,交易预计将于2026年中期完成,目前反垄断等待期已到期。 调查的核心在于16.50美元的对价是否公允。值得注意的是,至少有一名分析师此前对SEM的股价目标维持在19.00美元/股。从历史股价看,SEM在2021年的收盘价曾高达21.28美元,尽管此后有所回落,但52周高点仍触及18.53美元。在交易宣布后, 瑞穗金融 集团已将SEM评级从“跑赢大盘”下调至“中性”,但将目标价定为与收购价相同的16.50美元,并认为8.7倍的估值倍数“较为合理”。 此外,Kaskela Law的调查还将审视公司董事会是否在充分评估股东价值最大化方面履行了其信托责任。此次私有化财团中包含公司高管这一事实,也增加了调查对交易公平性的关注度。与此同时,另一家股东权益律师事务所Halper Sadeh LLC也已宣布对SEM的出售案展开类似调查。SEM股东可通过电话(484) 229 - 0750联系Kaskela Law,或访问其官网提交信息以了解自身权利。 责任编辑:张俊 SF065
