For decades, the conventional wisdom has been to delay Social Security until age 70 to maximize your monthly benefit. The advice continues to be sensible for many, but not for everyone. If you're married, the question becomes whether both you and your spouse should delay Social Security until age 70, or if there's a better approach. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

Wave of almost 600 drones launched across 14 regions, after Moscow’s deadly three-day attack on Ukraine last week At least four people have been killed in a large-scale retaliatory strike by Ukraine on Russia’s regions, including Moscow, Russian authorities have said.

Hampstead theatre, London A first love is rekindled on stage and off in Sarah Ruhl’s metatheatrical romance and farcical send-up of hammy old musicals It doesn’t take long for the protagonists of Sarah Ruhl ’s 2011-set romantic comedy – two actors who have been cast in a 1930s melodrama called The Last Kiss – to realise they’ve signed up for a theatrical flop in the making.

Hampstead theatre, London A first love is rekindled on stage and off in Sarah Ruhl’s metatheatrical romance and farcical send-up of hammy old musicals It doesn’t take long for the protagonists of Sarah Ruhl ’s 2011-set romantic comedy – two actors who have been cast in a 1930s melodrama called The Last Kiss – to realise they’ve signed up for a theatrical flop in the making. The director is hopeless, all wafting hands and evasive “just trust your instincts”; the young supporting cast are as wooden as the boards they’re tentatively treading; and the bombastic script feels ludicrous to the pair’s naturalistically trained ears. There is also a whopper of an art-imitating-life situation afoot: the pair, elusively named He and She, are portraying but also happen to be first loves, reuniting to crackling chemistry despite She and her character each being married with a grownup daughter.

USA Rare Earth (NASDAQ: USAR) shares declined by 9.6% this week. The move comes a week after it released its first-quarter earnings report. The decline is probably due to a "sell on the news" trading mentality. In addition, the earnings report reminds investors that USA Rare Earth is a loss-making company that, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence, Wall Street analysts don't expect to generate earnings before 2028 or cash flow before 2029. To put recent events into context, USA Rare Earth stock soared by 72% in April as the company made real progress in derisking its mine-to-magnet strategy. As a reminder, the company plans to produce metals and magnets before commissioning its Round Top mine in 2028. It's a somewhat back-to-front strategy that puts pressure on the company to ensure a supply of non-China-sourced raw materials before Round Top begins operations. The good news from April was that the company entered into a partnership that secured the right to rare-earth materials, as well as a $2.8 billion agreement to acquire Brazil's Serra Verde Group, the owner of a rare-earth mine and processing plant in that country.
