美國太空探索技術公司SpaceX，試射新一代星艦重型運載火箭，SpaceX稱大致成功。 美國太空探索技術公司SpaceX，試射的新一代星艦重型運載火箭V3，本港時間周六早上在得州發射升空，約兩分半鐘後，火箭的重型推進器，與載有20枚模擬衛星的飛船部分分離。 在近半小時後，即約一小時飛行的中途，火箭搭載的飛船順利釋放出，一組模擬衛星及兩枚配備攝影機，將用來分析飛船隔熱罩，經過特殊改裝的星鏈衛星。 SpaceX發言人表示，重型推進器未能完成「返航點火」，在失控狀態下迅速跌回地球，並跌落墨西哥灣，指公司本來無計劃回收推進器，但仍希望其能精準返航，又稱飛船當時在太空慣性滑行，但其中一枚引擎發生故障，導致飛行軌道有偏差，靠其餘五枚引擎延長運作進行補救。 飛船最終在印度洋預定海域降落，並在水面爆炸。SpaceX強調，火箭到達預定軌道，亦在目標區域降落，今次試射大致取得成功，又指最後發生爆炸並非意料之外。行政總裁馬斯克，恭喜團隊完成星艦V3的首次發射與著陸，形容是史詩級的壯舉。 SpaceX致力於將星艦打造成完全可重複使用的火箭系統。今次是星艦第12次試射，亦正值馬斯克宣布SpaceX，即將進行首次公開募股之際。有報道分析認為，今次發射成功有助提振投資者的信心，並預料會是史上最大規模的首次公開募股。

大疆认为，真正能支撑低空经济常态化运营的场景，必须是“不飞不行”，而非“飞了更好” 【财新网】 无人机物流、电动垂直起降飞行器（eVTOL）载人被视为低空经济最具想象力的两大方向，但无人机巨头大疆对其短期商业化前景保持谨慎。 该公司于5月22日发布《低空经济基础设施发展白皮书》（下称《白皮书》）指出，城市物流无人机规模化面临三大瓶颈：航路审批无常态机制、末端“最后100米”无标准方案、每单配送成本相对偏高。 具体而言，目前运营企业开通任何一条物流航线都要与空管部门协调，需单独规划报批，航线扩张速度远不如地面快递网络。此外，受噪音和安全限制，无人机通常只能降落在楼顶或指定站点，包裹如何从落点送达消费者手中，至今缺乏成熟、统一的解决方案。成本问题同样突出，无人机每单配送成本是否能低于传统骑手配送，在多数场景中尚未得到验证。

pigphoto/iStock via Getty Images The BlackRock Energy & Resources Trust ( BGR ) is a closed-end fund that provides investors with a way to earn a very high level of current income along with exposure to the common equities of energy companies. The BlackRock Energy & Resources Trust does do fairly well at providing its investors with an attractive level of income, as the fund boasts a 7.12% yield at the current share price. Obviously, this is higher than the yield of the S&P 500 Index, and it is higher than the yields of most energy companies. In fact, about the only energy companies with higher yields are certain midstream master limited partnerships, and those companies can be challenging to invest in. After all, many investors have the bulk of their assets in retirement accounts and including a master limited partnership in a retirement account could expose the account to current-year tax consequences (plus the tax advantages possessed by master limited partnerships are largely irrelevant if included in a retirement account). The BlackRock Energy & Resources Trust does not have that problem and can be included in a retirement account just like any corporation. In addition, the fact that this fund invests in the common equities of integrated and upstream companies means that it could benefit from rising crude oil prices. There could be some reasons to believe that crude oil prices will increase over the next several months, and investors might want to consider holding something in their portfolios to protect themselves. Let us take a closer look at the BlackRock Energy & Resources Trust and see if it could fit the bill here. About The BlackRock Energy & Resources Trust The fund’s website offers the following description of the fund: BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust’s investment objectives are to provide total return and income through a combination of current income and long-term capital appreciation.

Hong Kong’s justice department has rejected online accusations involving the newly promoted public prosecutions director and a colleague, labelling the allegations “despicable behaviour” and an attempt to “defame public officers”. In a statement on Saturday, the department said it had referred the case to law enforcement agencies for further investigation and action, vowing to “severely punish lawbreakers in accordance with the law”. At the centre are online comments posted by a US-based Hong Kong fugitive activist Frances Hui Wing-ting, who accused the two prosecutors – both of whom had handled some national security cases – of abusing their positions for private ends. Advertisement Hui also accused their former boss of siding with them. Hui, who fled the city in 2020 and was granted political asylum in the United States in 2022, is among the activists with HK$1 million (US$127,620) bounties on their heads for allegedly violating the Beijing-imposed national security law in Hong Kong. Advertisement She is wanted on suspicion of colluding with a foreign country to endanger national security. Police have accused her of repeatedly calling on foreign countries to impose sanctions, blockades and other actions against China. She now serves as a policy and advocacy coordinator at the Washington-based Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong Foundation, which city authorities have described as “anti-China”.

Investors in Cognex Corporation CGNX need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the Nov. 20, 2026 $40 Call had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today. What is Implied Volatility? Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy. What do the Analysts Think? Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for Cognex shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, Cognex is a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) in the Electronics - Testing Equipment industry that ranks in the Top 12% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 60 days, three analysts have increased their earnings estimates for the current quarter, while none dropped the estimates. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from 30 cents per share to 42 cents in that period. Given the way analysts feel about Cognex right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there’s a trade developing. Oftentimes, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected. Looking to Trade Options?

行政長官李家超祝賀本港首位女航天員、載荷專家黎家盈，又祝福黎家盈及神舟二十三號任務圓滿成功。 行政長官李家超表示，今年是國家「十五五」規劃之年，香港特區就迎來航天夢的歷史時刻，深感振奮。他祝賀本港首位女航天員黎家盈及預祝神舟二十三號任務成功。 行政長官李家超表示︰「我衷心感謝國家對香港的信任，以及對香港創科人員的肯定和支持。星空浩瀚、逐夢遠航，香港專家得以參與國家航天任務，我們都與有榮焉、振奮無比，我祝願神舟二十三號任務圓滿成功，續寫中國航天輝煌篇章。」 預料黎家盈將在太空站參與多項科研，包括使用這部由科大牽頭研發的「天韻相機」，監測溫室氣體與碳排放。屆時香港科學家有機會與她在太空互動。 科大太空科學與技術研究院院長蘇慧說︰「到時候會跟這個航天員對話，然後當然她是實際上是操縱機械臂，是自動的，她自己其實是不需要到太空行走。我們會希望跟她說，對我們香港地區要重點關照吧。」 嶺南大學為「天韻相機」提供關鍵數據，負責項目的教授李佳與黎家盈份屬好友，她指黎家盈訓練時間比其他人短，因此過程更刻苦，但從沒怨言。 嶺南大學深圳研究院院長李佳說︰「離心機可能大家在電影裡看得比較多，會產生差不多7至8G的離心力。大部分人會有兩種情況，一種叫red out(紅視)，一種叫black out(黑視)。其實就會看不到東西，航天員在做這個項目的過程中，除了做這些，還要按照指令完成動作。訓練甚麼，你可能去到當天或者提前一天才知道，你每一天都在一個等待的過程。」 記者問︰「但家盈有沒有表達過感到辛苦？」 李佳表示︰「從來都沒有，我想這就是宇航員的基本素質。」 首名港產航天員誕生，不少市民都感到鼓舞。 鄧女士說︰「原來我們香港人都可以，代表一下香港，不錯。」 陳先生稱︰「當然開心，香港有這麼厲害的人。」 黎家盈就讀博士的香港大學亦發聲明，指她的壯舉將啟發新一代香港科學家追逐航天夢，共同為國家的航天征途貢獻力量。

Erik Isakson/DigitalVision via Getty Images In my last article on Super Micro Computer ( SMCI ), I advised investors to remain bearish after a 60% drop from its March 2024 high. That turned out to be a good call as the stock is still down by around 17%, but I am now changing my position to bullish. Uncertain trading conditions have been clarified One of the reasons for my previous bearish stance was that the company was caught up in some negative press sentiment. Activist short-seller Hindenburg Research had released a negative report on the company, and the U.S. Justice Department was said to be investigating the firm. Adding to the speculation was the fact that the company was failing to deliver its financial results on time. There are still some issues regarding corporate governance that analysts at JPMorgan cited when they recently gave the company a Neutral rating. “Even though the robust demand environment and margin recovery are encouraging,” analysts led by Samik Chatterjee said, “The corporate governance uncertainties, incremental costs from potential capital raises, and the competitive pricing dynamics in the AI server industry limit our ability to get more constructive at current levels.” The headwinds for SMCI are clear, but I believe the current stock price offers some opportunity, as I will discuss further in the article. The profitability decline may be near a bottom At the time of writing my previous article, I also warned investors of declining margins. That proved to be another good call as operating margins and net margins were both around 8% at the time. They have now fallen to 4.48% and 3.70% respectively, according to Macrotrends. SMCI Profit Margins (Macrotrends) After sitting out through that period, I am looking at the risk/reward potential for a bottom in the margin decline and some stock upside. Wedbush Securities agrees with this take, with analyst Mat Bryson saying : "We also see some reason to believe margins could hold up better in the...

Nearly 10,000 Hongkongers have been granted permanent residence in the UK under a bespoke British immigration pathway launched in January 2021, making them eligible to apply for citizenship next year. This year marks the fifth anniversary of the British National (Overseas) visa pathway, which allows successful applicants and their dependants to live, work and study in the United Kingdom for up to five years. “Since the scheme began, there have been a total of 9,804 grants of settlement to individuals whose most recent leave was on the BN(O) route, with 8,682 grants issued over the latest 12-month period [ending March 2026],” the UK Home Office said on Thursday when releasing quarterly immigration statistics. Advertisement The number of Hongkongers settling in the UK via the BN(O) route as of March this year is the highest on record, with the UK government in the previous quarter announcing 670 people had obtained settlement status as of December 2025. “Some individuals may be qualifying earlier, where time spent on other eligible visa routes, before moving onto the BN(O) route, counts towards their five-year residence period,” the Home Office added. Advertisement If BN(O) visa holders have lived in the UK for five years, they can apply to stay permanently under a status known as “indefinite leave to remain”. This give them the right to live, work and study there for as long as they like and to access government benefits if they are eligible. They can then apply for British citizenship after a year.

港產首位女太空人黎家盈，接受央視和新華社訪問時分享成長經歷，她說小學時差一點留級，後來發現自己對計算機科的興趣。她指，受到國家首名太空人楊利偉的啟發，對太空感興趣，她亦成功抓住機會、敢於追夢，終成為載荷專家。 神舟二十三號航天員黎家盈說：「我就感覺這麼難得的機會來到，肯定要抓住、要試一下，就是過五關斬六將，一步一步就來到這裡了。」 黎家盈從約120名港人中脫穎而出，成為首名港產航天員，不過原來人生也不是一帆風順。 黎家盈指出：「記得我小時候三年級的時候，也是差一點要留級的，但是後來越大的時候，發現了自己的興趣，在我會考的時候，有一個科，計算機學習。那個時候我的老師特別好，他講課也講得特別有趣，我就感覺計算機可以幫我們人類做很多事情，就是慢慢找到自己的興趣的時候，讀起來就會輕鬆一點。」 黎家盈之後考入香港大學計算機科學專業，攻讀至博士學位，互聯網的黃金時代選擇有很多。她就選擇加入香港警務處技術服務部，要學以致用，為社會多做一點貢獻。 她又指是國家首名航天員楊利偉，2003年升空後的受訪片段，啟發了她的航天夢。 黎家盈表示：「楊師兄說他去跟華僑聊天的時候，有一個華僑跟他說，我們中國飛船飛得有多高，我們中國人的頭就可以抬得有多高。這句話說起來挺感動的，我都忍不住掉眼淚了。」 航天員訓練要經歷多個極限考驗，黎家盈指警隊歷練幫了她不少。 黎家盈稱：「我們剛來到沒多久，就要進行一個72小時不睡覺的訓練，那個對我來説也不是太難，因為以前在警隊工作要求挺高的。但是對我來説，48小時沙漠訓練是比較難熬，因為我比較怕熱。感覺有團隊的幫忙，大家在一起，還是可以過去的。」 她又說受訓時先要克服語言關，在自己極度疲憊的時候，粵語會衝口而出，也跟隊友們學了幾句東北話。 黎家盈說：「我記得就是那個可不咋地，還有就是咔咔的，平常我都有時候會用起來，就是有一個融合的感覺。」 為保持身體狀態，她平日堅持健康飲食，唯一會讓她破戒的是雞蛋仔。又說自己以前是一個會暈車浪的人，坐上訓練的轉椅後，竟然能克服。 黎家盈指出：「失重的環境之下的感受，我也很期待感受一下是怎樣的感覺，回來之後再跟大家分享，尤其是我的小孩，有時候我跟他說，到時候在天上面，媽媽就會飄起來了，他們也是挺興奮的。」 據了解，黎家盈三年內生了三個子女，其中大仔和大女是龍鳳胎。黎家盈又指上到太空，還有一個特別任務。 黎家盈指：「我上去很多人都讓我...

From a statistical standpoint, Wall Street has enjoyed having Donald Trump in the White House. The iconic Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI +0.58%), widely followed S&P 500 (^GSPC +0.37%), and growth stock-dominated Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC +0.19%) soared 57%, 70%, and 142%, respectively, during Trump's first term; and they've rallied by 14%, 23%, and 32%, as of May 19, 2026, since his second, non-consecutive term began. However, not all of President Trump's actions lead to tailwinds for the stock market. For instance, his tariff and trade policy, introduced in early April 2025 and invalidated by the U.S. Supreme Court in February 2026, ignited historic elevator-down moves for the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite over the course of a week. Another bout of historic downside volatility may be brewing. While Trump seemingly couldn't wait to show now-former Fed Chair Jerome Powell to the door (Powell remains on the Board of Governors), he's left his handpicked successor, Kevin Warsh, in a virtual no-win scenario -- and it's the stock market that'll likely end up paying the price. Kevin Warsh wants to reshape the central bank Based on Warsh's testimony before the Senate Banking Committee, he has big plans for America's foremost financial institution. Arguably, the biggest change the new Fed chair wants to make is to the central bank's bloated balance sheet. He's been a harsh critic of the Fed's expanding assets since stepping down from the Board of Governors on March 31, 2011. Between August 2008 and March 2022, the total assets held by Federal Reserve banks (primarily U.S. Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities) jumped roughly tenfold to nearly $9 trillion. As of May 13, 2026, the Fed had over $6.7 trillion in assets on its balance sheet. Warsh has made it clear that he wants the central bank to stop being an active market participant when it's not necessary. This would entail selling a majority of the Fed's balance sheet assets. Powell's successor also spoke o...

Key Points Victoria's Secret is starting to turn itself around by going back to its roots. Crocs and Deckers are two undervalued footwear stocks. Peloton has fixed its gross margin, and now is looking to start to grow its revenue. 10 stocks we like better than Peloton Interactive › Billionaire investor David Einhorn was out bargain hunting in the consumer space in the first quarter, adding a quartet of beaten-down names to his portfolio. Einhorn is known for investing in undervalued and out-of-favor stocks, so his foray into the consumer space is perhaps no surprise. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » Let's look at the four consumer stocks he was buying earlier this year. 1. Victoria's Secret Einhorn increased his position in Victoria's Secret (NYSE: VSCO) by 30% in Q1, making it his eighth-largest position. He talked about the stock at the recent Sohn conference, noting how new management is returning the retailer to its identity, which is starting to resonate with customers and has stabilized traffic. He noted that the company's margins are only about half of historical levels, so he sees a strong runway of growth ahead. With the stock trading at a forward P/E of 12.5 times 2026 analyst estimates, it doesn't look like investors have fully bought into the company's turnaround. However, it's seeing solid same-store sales growth and strong international growth, so the setup does look like it is there. 2. Crocs One of Einhorn's new positions was in Crocs (NASDAQ: CROX). The company's namesake brand has had pretty steady sales, led by international growth. However, its HeyDude brand has been a disaster ever since it acquired it in 2022, and the company is still working to clear up inventory issues. With a forward P/E of just 7, Crocs stock is in the deep bargain bin. The big opportunity ...

FabrikaCr/iStock via Getty Images Welcome to another installment of our CEF Market Weekly Review, where we discuss closed-end fund [CEF] market activity from both the bottom-up - highlighting individual fund news and events - as well as the top-down - providing an overview of the broader market. We also try to provide some historical context as well as the relevant themes that look to be driving markets or that investors ought to be mindful of. This update covers the period through the third week of May. Be sure to check out our other weekly updates covering the business development company [BDC] as well as the preferreds/baby bond markets for perspectives across the broader income space. Market Action CEFs sectors were lower this week, outside of MLP funds, as risk sentiment fell towards the end of the week and Treasury yields rose. Systematic Income Year-to-date, equity-linked sectors are hanging onto healthy gains. Systematic Income The median CEF sector discount fell below its longer-term historic average level. Systematic Income Market Themes BDC-like CEFs MCI and MPV released their quarterly numbers. Both funds allocate primarily to private loans made to small and middle-market companies. The allocation is nearly identical with around 76% in private credit and 12% in private equity with the rest sprinkled across public securities and cash. Barings The key difference between the two funds is that MPV has a lower management fee at 0.9% of NAV vs. 1.25% for MCI. Leverage is extremely low by credit CEF standards (17%) and especially by BDC standards (0.22x). The fee structure works out closer to 0.7% and 1% on a total asset basis which is a more common way to charge the management fee. That is pretty low by CEF standards and below BDC fee structures as there are no incentive fees charged at all. As would be expected, MPV has a stronger total NAV return than MCI at 9.6% vs. 8.7% on a 10-year basis. The valuation differential roughly makes sense as well with MPV tra...
