In one scene from Landmarks, the new documentary by the Argentinian film-maker Lucrecia Martel, a tour guide shows children a painting on the ceiling of a Catholic church depicting how “Indigenous attempted to break into the city”. “See how these angels fought to keep the Indigenous out, and they sent these beams to scare them away,” says the guide. The following scene shows Indigenous people from the region – including a child baptised in that very church – watching footage of the tour on a mobile phone. One of them said: “Listening to him [the guide], you realise how convinced he is that even God wants to erase us for good.” Landmarks is Martel’s first documentary and dives into one case – the killing of an Indigenous leader in a land dispute in 2009 – to address a broader and historical problem. “The Argentine population is very alienated when it comes to Indigenous issues,” says Martel, 59. “Every effort has been made in this country not to recognise the rights of Indigenous communities.” View image in fullscreen Martel on the set of Landmarks. Photograph: Rei Pictures – Louverture Films Acclaimed for fiction films such as Zama (2017) and The Headless Woman (2008), Martel has spent about 15 years working on Landmarks, which won best film at last year’s BFI London film festival. The film’s central focus is Javier Chocobar, an activist and leader of the Diaguita people from the Chuschagasta community in the province of Tucumán, who was 68 when he was shot dead inside his territory on 12 October 2009. The moment of the killing was filmed by one of the accused, the mining businessman Darío Luis Amín, who claimed ownership of the land and arrived at the community accompanied by two former police officers, Luis Humberto Gómez and Eduardo José del Milagro Valdivieso Sassi. The footage shows the beginning of an argument between them and members of the Indigenous community, and the moment Gómez opens fire on one of them. Afterwards, Amín stops focusing on the confrontati...

blackdovfx/iStock via Getty Images By Christopher Gannatti, CFA & Elvira Kuramshina Quantum Investing Is Moving from Concept to Ecosystem Artificial intelligence taught investors that the most compelling thematic opportunities often appear first in the bottlenecks. Before every application monetizes, capital moves toward the infrastructure that makes the application possible. Quantum computing may be earlier, noisier and more technically uncertain than AI, but the logic is similar: Find the constraints, then find the companies attempting to solve them. Of course, for quantum, the constraints are different than they are for AI. The primary issues concern qubit modality, error correction, coherence, photonic interconnects, control systems, cryogenics, quantum-safe encryption, quantum networking and software that can translate classical problems into quantum circuits. 1 The investable universe is therefore not one industry. It is a stack. That is the lens through which we approached the May 2026 rebalance. Our strategy does not attempt to declare a single winner in quantum. It broadens the portfolio around the companies and technologies that could matter as quantum moves from research milestone to commercial architecture. Xanadu as a Signal This is a notable addition at 2.93%. It signals that photonic quantum computing is becoming a more explicit part of the portfolio’s quantum hardware thesis. The importance of diversification across qubit modalities is increasingly recognized even at the government level. In April 2026, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) 2 launched its Heterogeneous Architectures for Quantum (HARQ) program, which draws a direct parallel to classical computing's multi-processor architecture, arguing that just as central processing units (CPUs), graphics processing units (GPUs), and application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) each serve distinct roles, future quantum systems will likely need to combine trapped ions, neutral atom...

For Immediate Release Chicago, IL – May 27, 2026 – Today, Zacks Investment Ideas feature highlights Nasdaq 100 Index ETF QQQ, Micron MU, SanDisk SNDK, NVIDIA NVDA, MicroStrategy MSTR and Qualcomm QCOM. Memory Supercycle: Why MY & SNDK Are Set for a Grand Finale The current technology bull market is nothing short of spectacular. Despite inflation, trade, and geopolitical concerns, the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index ETF is up a staggering 30% from its late March lows and is working on its ninth weekly gain out of the previous 10. What’s driving tech stocks? The AI boom. The current AI boom is witnessing unprecedented spending, with AI big tech hyperscalers spending ~$750 million in capital expenditures (CAPEX) this year on AI data centers and infrastructure (with expectations for more than $1 trillion a year in 2027 and 2028). Memory Sector Experiences Supercycle The breathtaking AI spending has reverberated throughout the U.S. and global economies. However, certain industries have benefited more than others. Thus far, the biggest beneficiaries of the AI buildout have been high-performance memory companies like Micron and SanDisk. AI models mostly operate on NVIDIA’s best-in-breed graphics processing units (GPUs). These GPUs take complex pieces of data, train them, and make sense of them. These AI models (like large language models) rely on billions of algebraic variables called weights. To process a single prompt, the GPU must continuously reference these weights. Standard memory solutions do not store enough data to enable AI training, but SNDK and MU’s technologies do. Memory Demand Outstrips Supply Currently, global demand for memory is so robust that most Wall Street analysts predict severe supply shortages for at least 2 years. These supply shortages have triggered unprecedented pricing power for SNDK and MU. As a result, Zacks Consensus Estimates expect explosive EPS growth for these companies. Below is a look at the Zacks Consensus Estimates for SanDisk: SNDK/MU:...
