Veterans such as Messi and Modric are much in evidence at the finals, but an obsession with celebrity may undermine Portugal It turns out that 2022 wasn’t Lionel Messi’s last dance after all. He will turn 39 during the World Cup, but despite concerns over the “muscular overload” that led to him limping out of Inter Miami’s 6-4 win over Philadelphia Union on Sunday, he remains the figure on whom Argentinian hopes rely. Messi won’t be the only veteran in Canada, the US and Mexico: Cristiano Ronaldo, aged 41, will also be there – inevitably, given how his career and Messi’s seem inextricably bound. So will Luka Modric and Edin Dzeko, plus the goalkeepers Manuel Neuer, Craig Gordon, Guillermo Ochoa and Vozinha, all of whom are 40. And there is one 39-year-old other than Messi: the Japan defender Yuto Nagatomo. Continue reading...

Think of Hong Kong as a living dictionary. Every old arcade, footbridge and mixed-use tong lau, or tenement building, is an entry worth studying. As the city embarks on another redevelopment cycle, we should be leafing more carefully – not erasing the dictionary’s words but learning how to write new ones in the same spirit. Here are five key words that should be at the centre of any sensitive, for...

Greg Abel has some big shoes to fill at Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKA) (NYSE: BRKB) . As the new CEO, he's in charge of the company's massive portfolio of marketable equities. He's also responsible for identifying new opportunities to acquire wholly owned subsidiaries for Berkshire and for creating strategic partnerships. Not to mention ensuring the current group of operating businesses stays on track. Greg Abel probably won't be able to replicate the success of Warren Buffett . Buffett himself would probably struggle to match his own track record. But Abel made three big moves at Berkshire in his first quarter, deploying billions in capital, and they've all been great successes so far. Here are the three investments that set Abel off on the right foot as CEO. Continue reading

Caught On Tape: Washington Nationals Official Admits To Discriminating Against Religious Player Authored by Bryan Hyde via American Greatness, Washington Nationals Director of Community Relations Sean Hudson has been caught on camera admitting that he discriminates against starting pitcher Trevor Williams because of his Catholic faith. The Daily Caller reports that O’Keefe Media Group has released a new undercover report where Hudson admits that the team avoids featuring starting pitcher Trevor Williams on social media because of his 2023 criticism of the Dodgers’ Pride Night. That particular event honored a drag group dressed as nuns and performing on a crucifix that Williams called a mockery of Catholicism. BREAKING NEWS: Washington @Nationals Director of Community Relations Admits on Hidden Camera to Active Religious Discrimination Against Starting Pitcher Trevor Williams, Surveillance of Nationals Fans’ Google History, and Segregated LGBTQ+ Corporate Meetings to an O’Keefe… pic.twitter.com/AWqlq6wXV9 — James O'Keefe (@JamesOKeefeIII) May 26, 2026 According to Fox News , in a 2025 interview with Bishop Robert Barron, Williams explained why he spoke out, saying, “Baseball stadiums should be a place where everyone feels welcomed, like 100%. We should all feel welcomed there. But that was clearly against one certain religion. If you don’t draw the line in the sand, who’s gonna do it? ” Hudson described Williams as “super Christian-Catholic” with religious tattoos , and confessed that even lighthearted social media posts—for example, ones asking “Is a hot dog a sandwich?”—avoid including Williams because he spoke out. Hudson also admitted on hidden camera to digitally surveilling fans who attend Nationals Park, saying, “If you ever come to a Nats game, there is someone on our team who’s responsible for figuring out everything about you, given your purchasing habits, what teams you come to when the Nats play, like what teams you come, and assigning you into a bucket o...

One of the good things about equity markets is that investors can get started on a budget. With $20 or less, it's possible to invest in companies with decent prospects.

One of the good things about equity markets is that investors can get started on a budget. With $20 or less, it's possible to invest in companies with decent prospects. Let's consider three such stocks: Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ: RIVN) , SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ: SOFI) , and Adyen (OTC: ADYEY) . They have faced challenges recently, but at under $20 per share, these companies are worth a second look. Image source: Getty Images. Rivian has underperformed broader equities this year, partly due to slowing demand in the electric vehicle (EV) market. EV sales in the first quarter dropped by 27% year over year in the U.S. Even though Rivian's financial results for the period were pretty strong -- its revenue climbed 11% year over year to $1.4 billion -- the weakness in the EV sector could eventually significantly harm its sales. However, Rivian is entering an important period. The company is launching its mass-market model, the R2, with a much more approachable starting price than previous models. Continue reading
