Saving enough for retirement is a challenge for most people these days, but if you don't have access to a 401(k) through your employer, it can feel nearly impossible. You'll have to open your own retirement account, choose your own investments, and remember to make contributions on your own. And of course, you have to find cash to spare in the first place. It's a lot, and employers and the government have started to take notice. There's a growing movement to help workers without access to workplace retirement plans, and it's important to understand your options before making any decisions. Image source: Getty Images.

PM Images/DigitalVision via Getty Images There's a big difference between a great company and a great stock, and after the YTD rally of 24.15% that has sent Chevron ( CVX ) to its all-time highs along the way, I think it's time to separate the two.

PM Images/DigitalVision via Getty Images There's a big difference between a great company and a great stock, and after the YTD rally of 24.15% that has sent Chevron ( CVX ) to its all-time highs along the way, I think it's time to separate the two. When I last covered CVX in December, it was trading at 149.18 with a 4.6% dividend yield. Crude, or West Texas Intermediate (WTI) was sitting at under $60 per barrel, and the energy sector was one of the most unloved corners of the market. Roughly 6 months later, the picture has completely flipped as the conflict that erupted in the Middle East at the beginning of March injected a massive geopolitical premium into WTI and Brent crude. Brent spiked from under $60 to a high north of $125 before settling in the upper $90s, while shares of CVX reached an all-time high of $214.71 before receding just under the $190 level. My bullish thesis played out faster than I expected, and in my opinion, it isn’t because CVX rerated on its fundamentals. It’s because it traded higher alongside the price of oil, and this is now the reason why I am downgrading my thesis to neutral, because premiums that are built on geopolitics have a long history of deflating just as quickly as they inflate. Negotiators from the United States and Iran have already produced a tentative framework that would extend the ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and while the headlines change by the day, I believe a deal is more likely to come than not. If I'm correct, the price of oil should decline over the summer, and the tailwind that carried CVX from $149 to $190 would likely become a headwind for the foreseeable future. CVX is still a great company, and Q1 proved the underlying business is firing on all cylinders, but the time to buy was over the winter when nobody wanted energy, not after a 20% plus rally with a war premium baked into the oil markets. I am downgrading my rating on CVX from bullish to neutral, and my plan is to hold CVX and let the divide...

China-Canada relations are undergoing a thaw after years of estrangement and recrimination. China and India are seeking a rapprochement despite deep-seated distrust and sometimes violent border disputes. Both cases share a common element: Donald Trump. Meanwhile, following the US president’s visit to Beijing, his defence secretary Pete Hegseth avoided mentioning Taiwan at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore. He sounded almost conciliatory by hailing ties with Beijing as “better than they’ve...
