The clock ran out on Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI before a jury ever had time to decide whether his allegations were true.

为应对中东冲突引发的全球能源价格飙升，美国财政部宣布，将针对已装船 俄罗斯石油 的制裁豁免期限再度延长30天。 财长斯科特·贝森特在社交媒体上表示，这项“临时通用许可证”旨在让“最脆弱国家”能够暂时获取目前被困在海上的俄罗斯石油。他称此举将“为现货原油市场提供额外灵活性，并确保石油能到达最易受能源短缺影响的国家”。 这项豁免是此前两项类似授权的后续。此前，豁免已于5月16日到期。尽管面临乌克兰及部分美国议员的批评，认为该措施为俄罗斯提供了战争资金，且未能显著降低国内燃料成本，但政府仍选择再度延期。目前美国汽油平均价已升至每加仑约4.50美元，达2022年以来最高水平。 除延长 俄油 豁免外，美国政府还动用了多种工具以稳定市场，包括：释放战略石油储备、暂时豁免《琼斯法案》以允许外国船只在美国港口间运输燃料，以及暂停联邦汽油税。这一系列举措旨在缓解因伊朗战争及霍尔木兹海峡通行受阻而加剧的供应压力。 责任编辑：张俊 SF065

gremlin/E+ via Getty Images Nebius Group N.V. ( NBIS ) has been at the forefront of the recent AI-fueled rally that we’ve seen in markets. Having just reported earnings and having soared by over 100% in the past month and a half, it’s a good time to assess the state of the potential opportunity presented to investors at current prices. While one can make a credible near-term thesis, perhaps based solely on momentum (i.e., having nothing to do with the operations or prospects of the underlying business), when it comes to the business itself, I will argue that there is nothing like a compelling fundamentals-based thesis to be had to justify buying NBIS shares at current prices. Review of Q1 2026 Earnings Report Headline Numbers Nebius just reported earnings on Wednesday, May 13 th . Here are the highlights from management’s perspective: Source: Earnings Release Let’s take each of these in turn. First, net income is basically irrelevant, as it almost entirely is the result of a non-operational gain on investments in equity securities. As such, it doesn’t reflect the business’s operations and isn’t reflective of the performance of the core data center operations. Second, adjusted EBITDA can be disregarded, as it asks us to not count depreciation and amortization, as well as interest expense, two expenses that are core to the business from an operational and financing perspective. Additionally, it asks investors to treat stock-based compensation (SBC) as if it weren’t really an expense, something which simply makes no sense to me. Perhaps the most useful metric here is “adjusted net loss,” as it excludes the gain on investments in equity securities included in net income. Nevertheless, it still asks us to disregard stock-based compensation. In any case, it does come to a number that is somewhat close to the “loss from operations” number, which, to my mind, is really the most relevant of these sorts of metrics, even though it's not amongst the metrics presented in the "Q1...

J Studios/DigitalVision via Getty Images By Mike Larson US energy exports are soaring thanks to the war in the Middle East. While that’s boosting energy sector profits - and stock prices - it’s also increasing price pressures here at home. Check out the MoneyShow Chart of the Day, which shows the four-week moving average of US crude oil exports. They’ve been surging lately, hitting 5.37 million barrels per day in the most recent week from 3.76 million in the same week a year earlier. Exports of refined products like diesel are also rising fast as customers in Europe and Asia look for new supplies to replace what they used to get from the Middle East. US Crude Oil Exports (4-Week Average) (Source: MacroMicro) As the Wall Street Journal noted, the US is now supplying around one out of every seven barrels of oil needed globally. Energy companies are reaping the benefits here, with sector earnings expected to soar a whopping 110% in the second quarter, according to FactSet. That’s roughly double the 54.6% growth expected for the next-closest sector, information technology. It’s also a key reason the State Street Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF ( XLE ) is up 32.9% year-to-date. But as more crude oil and refined products flow overseas versus stay in the domestic market, the price of energy products here at home will rise. In the words of a Kpler analyst quoted in the Journal : “We have to essentially get squeezed to the point where prices move higher to stop the barrels leaving.” Bottom line? US yields are already rising. US inflation readings are already rising. And until the global energy supply situation stabilizes, those trends are likely to continue.

Watch $134 Million Go Up In Smoke As Navy Jets Collide At Air Show As if Pentagon losses in the Trump-Netanyahu war on Iran weren't already sapping them enough already, American taxpayers were losers again on Sunday when two U.S. Navy EA18-G Growlers blew up in spectacular fashion after colliding at an air show at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho. Four crew members ejected and were medically evaluated and said to be in stable condition. EA18-G Growlers are used to jam and suppress enemy radar and other electronics (USAF Photo) The aircraft were performing a maneuver for the audience at the Gunfighter Skies Air Show when they made contact and then appeared to be locked together. In an instant, the four crew members ejected. As their parachutes successfully deployed, the two jets -- valued at a combined $134 million -- fell to the ground together and exploded, generating a massive cloud of smoke, and necessitating a careful descent by the crew members who had to avoid landing in the flaming wreckage. Made by Boeing, the EA18-G Growler is an F/A-18 Super Hornet variant that serves as something of an "electronic bodyguard" for other aircraft, by jamming, deceiving or suppressing enemy radar and electronic systems.

While the Air Force will investigate the crash, Guzzetti's first impression w...

ORCL Stock Fails to Hold Gains Again as Inflation and AI Spending Fears Pressure Oracle FXLeaders

Kimberly Delaney/iStock via Getty Images Not all double-digit yields are value traps. NewLake Capital ( NLCP ) looks increasingly compelling following highly bullish regulatory changes for medical cannabis. The cannabis REIT offers a 12% dividend yield, which looks exaggerated given the net lease structure and net cash balance sheet. Continued progress regarding normalizing tax rates in the industry makes that valuation look too cheap while also offering a highly visible catalyst. I reiterate my "S trong Buy" rating for the stock. NLCP Stock Price I last covered NLCP in April , where I called the 12% yield safer than it looks. The stock has barely moved since. Data by YCharts At this point, the catalysts are already in motion, and one no longer needs to hope for unlikely regulatory action. The delayed upside reaction offers an attractive buying opportunity. NLCP Stock Key Metrics NLCP is a cannabis net lease real estate investment trust (‘REIT’). The net leases mean that the tenants are responsible for real estate taxes, insurance, and maintenance expenses. This high-margin lease structure is very popular with investors who might recognize it from the likes of Realty Income ( O ) and others. NLCP is highly concentrated in the cannabis sector and the limited tenants in that sector. 2026 Q1 Presentation NLCP has maintained a strong estimated four-wall coverage. Historically, investors have had to put a large asterisk when comparing to net lease peers. This is because cannabis operators have had to pay something known as “280e taxes,” which essentially means that they pay income tax rates based on gross profits (recall that 4-wall coverage adds back tax payments). That asterisk may soon be removed. Medical cannabis has recently been rescheduled to Schedule III , which means, in theory, that operators may no longer need to pay those 280e taxes. What’s more, a hearing has been scheduled for June to potentially reschedule cannabis for recreational sales as well. 2026 Q1 P...

美国总统特朗普称，应卡塔尔要求，推迟袭击伊朗。 明天不会对伊朗发动攻击。 协议将包括伊朗不能拥有核武器。 已经告知战争部长海格塞斯为将来袭击伊朗做好准备。 布伦特原油期货从112.18美元跳水至109.56美元，日内涨幅迅速收窄至1.1%。 WTI原油期货短线下挫大约3美元，至102.11美元。 新兴市场外汇指数刷新日高。

当地时间5月18日，在收到伊朗关于旨在结束战事的最新协议草案回复后，美国总统特朗普表示，他“不考虑”向德黑兰作出任何让步。特朗普还警告称，伊朗已然知晓“即将发生什么”。 特朗普表示，他对德黑兰的回复并不感到“沮丧”。他同时指出，伊朗完全清楚美国有能力给其造成更沉重的打击。特朗普说：“我可以告诉你，他们现在比以往任何时候都更渴望达成协议，因为他们知道接下来即将发生什么。” 此前有美国方面消息称，伊朗通过巴基斯坦于17日晚向美方提交一份旨在结束战事的最新协议草案，但相较于上一版本仅作了一些“象征性微调”，且未就其核计划作出实质性让步。一名美方高级官员称，目前谈判正处在“非常严峻”的境地，若伊朗拒不改变立场，美方将不得不“通过炸弹”来继续这场谈判。 当被问及有地区消息人士称伊朗正试图在核问题和霍尔木兹海峡通航问题上对华盛顿采取“拖延战术”时，特朗普表示，他“没听说过这种说法”。 据透露，预计特朗普19日在白宫战情室与其国家安全团队主要成员举行会议，讨论对伊朗再次动武的选项。 总台记者当地时间18日获悉，一名美国官员表示，伊朗方面关于“美国已同意在谈判进行期间解除对伊朗石油制裁”的消息是“虚假的”。 当天早些时候，伊朗方面援引谈判团队相关消息人士的话称，美国在最新谈判文本中，已同意在谈判期间对伊朗石油制裁实施临时豁免。 当地时间18日，美国财政部长贝森特在社交媒体宣布，美国财政部正就已到期的俄罗斯海运石油制裁另行提供30天豁免。 本文来源：央视新闻，原文标题：《特朗普称“不考虑向德黑兰作出任何让步”》、《美官员否认美国同意谈判期间暂时豁免对伊朗石油制裁》、《美财长宣布再次延长俄海运石油制裁豁免》。 风险提示及免责条款 市场有风险，投资需谨慎。本文不构成个人投资建议，也未考虑到个别用户特殊的投资目标、财务状况或需要。用户应考虑本文中的任何意见、观点或结论是否符合其特定状况。据此投资，责任自负。

Nvidia (NVDA) Sees Pre-Earnings Decline Amid Mixed Market Signals GuruFocus

ablokhin/iStock Editorial via Getty Images $397 billion. That’s how much “Buffett cash” now sits on Berkshire Hathaway’s ( BRK.A )( BRK.B ) balance sheet after Greg Abel’s first quarter as CEO. Warren Buffett left $373 billion behind when he stepped down at the end of 2025. Three months later, after Abel’s debut earnings report on Saturday, the hoard had grown by another $24 billion. The figure is bigger than the GDP of Hong Kong or Norway. It exceeds the market value of every American corporation except a tiny handful of mega-cap names. And it earned roughly four to five percent in Treasury bills while the S&P 500 ripped through three of its best consecutive years in modern history. That Buffett cash hoard has also created a lot of speculation, innuendo, and assumptions, which is what I want to walk through in today’s discussion. Primarily, what that cash hoard actually represents, the popular theories explaining it, and what it really costs shareholders to hold. The headline cash hoard number is striking on its own. Berkshire Hathaway ended Q1 2026 with a record $397.4 billion in cash and short-term Treasury bills, surpassing the prior $381.7 billion peak set in Q3 2025 and adding another $24 billion to what Buffett left behind. Of that, roughly $52 billion sits in plain cash and equivalents, with the bulk parked in Treasury bills earning short-term yields. By the time Abel released his first quarterly print on May 2, Berkshire was one of the largest holders of US Treasury debt in the world. This wasn’t an accident. Between 2022 and 2024, Berkshire sold a net $172.93 billion in equities, with $134.1 billion of that coming in 2024 alone. Buffett trimmed his Apple ( AAPL ) position from nearly 50% of the equity portfolio down to roughly 22%. He cut Bank of America ( BAC ) by more than half. Berkshire stopped repurchasing its own shares for nearly two years, sitting out twenty-one consecutive months as the stock traded above what Buffett considered its intrinsic valu...
