Send us feedback and tips at debtnews@bloomberg.net . Captive Comics A bankruptcy court spat playing out in Maryland is keeping Batman locked up in a warehouse hundreds of miles away in Mississippi. James Bond, Doctor Who and Cruella de Ville, too. Not even pop culture’s grumpiest cat, Garfield, can escape. They’re among thousands of characters represented in roughly 8.2 million comics, graphic novels, figurines and table-top games held for months in a 600,000-square-foot warehouse formerly operated by a major comics distributor that went bankrupt in 2025. Publishers have formed alliances to free the items but at least one powerful adversary is impeding them: JPMorgan . JPMorgan was Diamond Comic Distributors ’ biggest creditor, and is fighting in court over the items because the biggest US bank is still owed about $7 million. Titles span the cultural universe, from thousands of copies of Rick and Morty - themed comics to the official Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse movie book and more obscure titles like Florida Man v. Hogzilla. It’s all languishing as lawyers argue over who owns the inventory. Advisers for the old Diamond, which didn’t own the books but did possess them when it sought bankruptcy, wants to sell them to repay debt. Publishers who supplied millions of books on consignment say they never gave up ownership. JPMorgan has a senior lien on Diamond’s assets, giving them a claim. Even the warehouse’s new owner recently entered the fray, saying they could assert a lien for back rent. The dispute has dragged on for months, and involves a tangle of lawsuits filed by bankruptcy advi...
For much of the artificial-intelligence (AI) -driven semiconductor rally, Micron Technology (MU) has been one of Wall Street’s hottest trades, fueled by explosive demand for high-bandwidth memory chips and tightening DRAM supply.

For much of the artificial-intelligence (AI) -driven semiconductor rally, Micron Technology (MU) has been one of Wall Street’s hottest trades, fueled by explosive demand for high-bandwidth memory chips and tightening DRAM supply. But while bullish investors continue to chase the AI narrative, short sellers are quietly building a sizable bet that the rally may be nearing exhaustion. Short interest in Micron has climbed to roughly 37.3 million shares , near the highest levels seen in years, after rising steadily through 2026. This represents 3.32% of the public float. The latest data shows bearish positions increased another 2.6% in late April following a 15.9% jump earlier in the month. The growing wave of bearish positioning comes despite Micron’s massive gains from the AI boom. Some investors might be betting against the stock with the belief that expectations have become too aggressive after Micron’s meteoric surge, with concerns centered on valuation, cyclical memory pricing risks, and the possibility that today’s AI-driven supply shortages eventually turn into oversupply. Plus, Micron’s rapidly expanding capital spending plans are looked at as a potential warning sign. That has created a growing tug-of-war between momentum investors betting the AI cycle is still in its early stages and short sellers wagering that semiconductor enthusiasm has simply gone too far, too fast. What should be your next move?

For a long while now, the Wall Street crowd has been totally hypnotized by this wild AI rally. Running the table, Microsoft (MSFT) was crowned the undisputed heavyweight champion of this race. Early 2026 investor logic? Simple and rock-solid: They practically bought out the planet's top AI asset, OpenAI, building this flawless tag-team supposed to shred the competition to pieces. Slapping a leadership premium on their stock price is exactly what the market did. Right now, though, we're staring down a massive tectonic quake totally wrecking that whole narrative. While traders get blinded chasing short-term ticker jumps, a real disaster just hit. For Microsoft's long-term positioning, I see this as a pure strategic train wreck. I'm talking about that fresh contract between the two firms, plastered right there on the OpenAI website. Sure, the PR teams are working overtime spinning this as some "mature partnership phase." Let's cut the crap, all right? Staring us right in the face is a legally binding surrender of exclusivity. That golden era? Microsoft equaling ChatGPT? Officially dead. Hitting the Brakes on ‘Business at the Speed of Thought’ Flipping back to 1999, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates dropped his legendary book, “Business @ the Speed of Thought.” Owning a unified digital nervous system is what makes a winner in this age, he argued — meaning you decide, code, and ship stuff instantly, with zero outside drag. Smashing right into Gates' old golden rule is the new reality Microsoft finds itself stuck in today. Without 100% control over the tech, moving at the speed of thought is impossible. You just can't do it. Yeah, mapping out a slow breakup is written directly into the fine print, and Microsoft holds onto what's already built, dragging the partnership out for years. The nasty devil, however, is lurking in the future roadmaps. Tied together just by a piece of paper, these are officially two totally separate players now, not one single business organism. Ever...

is the Verge’s weekend editor. He has over 18 years of experience, including 10 years as managing editor at Engadget. Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. Roger Linn is a legend in the world of musical instruments. He’s been at the cutting edge of music technology for decades. He created the LM-1, the first drum machine to use samples, and its successor, the LinnDrum, is one of the most iconic drum machines of all time. They were used on countless records in the 1980s, including hits by Tom Petty, Queen, and Tears for Fears. But the most notable fan was probably Prince, who used them extensively on Purple Rain and 1999. Somehow, those are not his greatest contributions to the music world. That would, undoubtedly, be the MPC. Linn partnered with Akai to create one of the most popular and important samplers ever. The MPC60 and its successors became the tool of choice for countless hip-hop and house producers. J Dilla’s MPC 3000 even sits in the Smithsonian. Roger Linn was also an early adopter of MPE, or MIDI polyphonic expression. It’s a key feature of his LinnStrument, an expressive 3D controller released in 2014 — three years before the Association of Musical Electronics Industry (AMEI) officially released the MPE standard. Turns out the man stays so innovative by keeping things simple and focused. What is your most indispensable tool? My MacBook Pro. Which is the most underappreciated? My Vision Pro. I called it the most amazing product I rarely use. What is the first app you install on a new phone or computer? On a computer, Rhino3D. What is one thing you wish you could change about your phone? Apple Mail’s bugs. What sites do you have pinned to your tab bar? New York Times. How many tabs do you have open right now? One. This document. Which social media platform do you use the most (if any)? I don’t use social media except to announce my monthly “All Things LinnStrument” email newsletter. What is your happy plac...

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) was one of the stocks on Jim Cramer’s radar as he highlighted that semiconductor and AI infrastructure stocks are currently in charge. Cramer was bullish on the company and its recently reported quarter as he said: … We talk hardware, the biggest part of that is the company just reported tonight that seems to not be able to get out of its own way right now, which is NVIDIA. Now, I’ve been pounding the table on NVIDIA since it was trading at a split-adjusted price of just under four bucks. I’ve never hidden my belief in the company and its team led by Jensen Huang. NVIDIA just reported after the close, delivering another steady set of numbers, revenue growing 85% year over year, $81.6 billion, beating expectations by nearly $3 billion. Most of the growth came from the company’s core data center business, with hyperscale revenues up 115% versus the prior year and up sequentially, while AI cloud, industrial, and enterprise revenue grew 74% from the prior year. The company’s gross margins were in line. Oh, maybe people don’t like that. And NVIDIA had an 11-cent bottom line beat off a $1.76 basis. Free cash flow came in $10 billion above expectations. Now, we’re at the point where NVIDIA has to look hard for places to put all of its money it’s making. Every week, the company seems to be… taking stakes in small component players, a new hyperscaler, perhaps optical. But after buying back nearly $20 billion of stock in the current quarter, NVIDIA announced a new $80 billion share repurchase program even as… close to $40 billion remaining on its previous authorization. Very bullish. The company’s outlook for the current quarter looked good, too. NVIDIA’s guiding for $91 billion in revenue this quarter, roughly $4 billion above the expectations that were $87 billion, despite the fact that the company’s still assuming no data center compute revenue from China. It was almost exactly three years ago, in May 2023, that NVIDIA shocked Wall Street w...

(NASDAQ:AAPL) to $375 from $305 and reiterated a Strong Buy rating. The firm expects additional upside in the shares due to the company’s “AI-powered ecosystem, high-margin services, and robust cash flow returns,” creating a “durable, multi-engine growth story.” On the same day, Evercore ISI said that it views a “bull case target” of $500 for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) shares. The firm believes the company is well-positioned to compound earnings and free cash flow at a low- to mid-teens rate. This will be possible even if iPhone units grow “modestly,” due to continued growth of its Services business and average selling price tailwinds from the premium models transition. The firm raised the price target on the company from $330 to $365 and reaffirmed an Outperform rating. When Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) announced its Q2 FY2026 results, it delivered earnings beats. Given ongoing constraints to supply, the company forecasts June total revenue to grow by 14% to 17% YoY. After its return overperformance relative to the S&P 500, the company has a mere 2.51% 1-year upside potential. That said, the stock remains one of the most traded US stocks so far in 2026. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is a California-based giant that designs, manufactures, and markets electronic devices, including smartphones, personal computers, tablets, and wearables.
