A unit of Blackstone Inc. provided a $226 million loan for a group of industrial outdoor storage facilities concentrated in the US Sunbelt. The portfolio’s 46 properties are scattered across 15 states, with tenants such as AT&T Inc. , United Rentals Inc. and Linde Plc , according to a statement by JLL Capital Markets, which arranged the financing for the landlord, JIOS. The facilities are located near major cities and logistics infrastructure. A JLL Capital Markets team led by Peter Rotchford and Tyler Peck arranged the financing. It follows a $231 million loan that Blackstone Real Estate Debt Strategies provided to JIOS, a unit of Jadian Capital , in June. Blackstone has stepped up its investments in outdoor storage facilities, which have become an important part of the global supply chain as e-commerce booms and customers expect faster deliveries. Early last year, Blackstone’s mortgage real estate investment trust provided a $189 million loan for outdoor storage lots to a division of Alterra Property Group .

Venezuelan security forces blocked an anti-government march from reaching the presidential palace on Thursday, after a vague pledge to raise wages failed to calm workers angered by soaring prices. Labor unions and pensioners, joined by students and activists, marched in Caracas demanding higher wages after years of increases that failed to keep pace with inflation. The standoff escalated when police set up blockades near Miraflores palace to prevent protesters from clashing with a pro-government demonstration nearby. Videos shared by local media show officers pushing and kicking demonstrators, many of them pensioners. Some protesters carried animal bones as a symbol of hunger and low wages, while another held a sign reading “walking to Miraflores because I can’t afford public transit and my fridge is empty.” A few demonstrators broke through police lines, but security forces using shields and gas canisters ultimately dispersed the crowd before it reached its destination. The confrontation came a day after acting President Delcy Rodríguez promised a minimum wage increase starting May 1, without specifying the amount, in a bid to ease pressure from workers facing soaring prices and stagnant pay. Read more: Venezuela to Boost Public Sector Salaries Hit by Fast Inflation The pledge has done little to reduce discontent. Workers say the minimum wage, unchanged at 130 bolivars, or less than $0.30 a month, falls far short of covering basic goods in an economy still grappling with high inflation. While the government supplements incomes with monthly bonuses, those payments have failed to keep up with the rising cost of living. Protests have picked up since Nicolás Maduro’s capture in January, with many Venezuelans saying living conditions have yet to improve despite expectations of a recovery driven by foreign investment. Demonstrations had been largely peaceful in recent weeks, making Thursday’s crackdown a setback for the government’s efforts to project stability.

peterschreiber.media/iStock via Getty Images Ameren ( AEE ) up 1.8% and Evergy ( EVRG ) up 1.3% in Thursday's trading as BTIG Research initiates coverage of both utility stocks with Buy ratings and respective $131 and $99 price targets. BTIG believes Ameren ( AEE ) is on the verge of seeing notable growth in Missouri, as the state has become increasingly attractive to large load customers, particularly data centers and manufacturing facilities, and the progression of the Missouri regulatory front into one of the most constructive jurisdictions continues to support the company's growth . With Ameren ( AEE ) showing increased transparency around anticipated demand additions and visibility on new electric service agreements and projects, BTIG believes the company is well positioned for 6%-8% earnings per share growth into the next decade with strong potential for upside. Evergy ( EVRG ) has taken steps toward an elevated growth story after recent years of rather muted growth, BTIG analysts said, seeing the company's current 6%-8%-plus EPS growth outlook as reasonable and potentially conservative given the potential for additional large load, warranting a reversion toward premium valuation. The company's relatively small size also implies enhanced leverage to large load growth potential, BTIG said, believing above-average growth potential, potential upside, and improving regulatory environments suggest the stock can re-rate higher.

Cathie Wood’s ARK (ARKK, ARKX, ARKQ) just put +$28M into the stock, one that is currently sitting on YTD losses of over 20%. The investment also precedes TSLA’s full Q1 release set for April 22 . Seeking Alpha - YTD Share Price Performance Of TSLA Stock As an income-focused and value investor, I have never been bullish on TSLA. However, with shares trading at the midpoint of its 52-week range, I believe the name is worth a visit and at least some consideration, especially as its auto business further matures and as it sets its sights on the next leg of its growth story. While I view shares as a Hold at current trading levels, I believe the outlook is bright and believe TSLA can ultimately seize upon its opportunities. What Is "Amazing Abundance" And Why Is It Important To TSLA? In my view, TSLA’s idea of “ Amazing Abundance ” is simply a vision for what the company wants to be when it grows up. After nearly two decades of proving it can build electric cars at scale, the message now appears to be that the vehicle business was the foundation and not the ultimate endgame. The recent delivery report tells part of that story. Deliveries rose modestly YOY but still missed expectations, marking one of TSLA’s weaker quarters in recent years. I don’t really view this in a negative way. To me, it just suggests a degree of maturity for the auto business. Tesla Deliveries Report: Q1 2026 Total Production And Deliveries A case in point is that competition from Chinese EV makers is intensifying, legacy automakers are pulling back on EV ambitions, and TSLA’s own lineup is narrowing as it winds down the Model S and Model X. I’d say that it’s clear that the auto segment, which still makes up the bulk of revenue, is no longer the runaway growth engine it once was. That’s where “Amazing Abu...

A 27-year-old bug sat inside OpenBSD’s TCP stack while auditors reviewed the code, fuzzers ran against it, and the operating system earned its reputation as one of the most security-hardened platforms on earth. Two packets could crash any server running it. Finding that bug cost a single Anthropic discovery campaign approximately $20,000. The specific model run that surfaced the flaw cost under $50. Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview found it. Autonomously. No human guided the discovery after the initial prompt. The capability jump is not incremental On Firefox 147 exploit writing, Mythos succeeded 181 times versus 2 for Claude Opus 4.6 . A 90x improvement in a single generation. SWE-bench Pro: 77.8% versus 53.4%. CyberGym vulnerability reproduction: 83.1% versus 66.6%. Mythos saturated Anthropic’s Cybench CTF at 100%, forcing the red team to shift to real-world zero-day discovery as the only meaningful evaluation left. Then it surfaced thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities across every major operating system and every major browser, many one to two decades old. Anthropic engineers with no formal security training asked Mythos to find remote code execution vulnerabilities overnight and woke up to a complete, working exploit by morning, according to Anthropic’s red team assessment . Anthropic assembled Project Glasswing , a 12-partner defensive coalition including CrowdStrike , Cisco , Palo Alto Networks , Microsoft, AWS, Apple, and the Linux Foundation , backed by $100 million in usage credits and $4 million in open-source grants. Over 40 additional organizations that build or maintain critical software infrastructure also received access. The partners have been running Mythos against their own infrastructure for weeks. Anthropic committed to a public findings report “within 90 days,” landing in early July 2026. Security directors got the announcement. They didn’t get the playbook. “I’ve been in this industry for 27 years,” Cisco SVP and Chief Security and Trust Offi...
