Investing is about balancing risk and reward. The bankruptcy of Spirit Airlines is yet another example of an investment risk that didn't provide any reward at all. There are important lessons for investors who watched the airline's financial decline, particularly if you lost money along the way. Here are three you should focus on. It isn't a joke to say that bankruptcy is a bad thing. Normally, a company has to seek court protection because it is financially troubled. Often, the problem is too much debt coupled with weak revenues and earnings. This is, basically, what led Spirit into bankruptcy the first time. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

China’s export growth rebounded more than expected despite disruptions to shipping caused by the war in Iran, as trade volumes swell due to an investment boom in artificial intelligence. Exports rose 14.1% in April from a year earlier, according to a statement released by the General Administration of Customs on Saturday. That compares with the median forecast of 8.4% in a Bloomberg survey of economists and a 2.5% gain in March. Imports rose 25.3%, resulting in a trade surplus of $84.82 billion. The improvement in outbound shipments followed a surprisingly steep slowdown in China’s exports during the first month of the war, after the US and Israeli attacks on Iran and Tehran’s retaliation spread upheaval throughout the Middle East and beyond. And with imports of high-tech products such as chips sharply on the rise, China in March had its smallest trade surplus in more than a year. The imbalances in trade will be in the spotlight ahead of a planned summit in Beijing next week between US President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping . The US merchandise trade deficit with China widened in March for a third month, Commerce Department data showed . Chinese factories navigated last year’s tit-for-tat with the US over tariffs by shipping more products to regions including Africa and Europe, even as they met pushback from countries where they pose a threat to local producers. China has been adding its voice to global pressure to stop the conflict , which erupted at the end of February and has forced the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz. A sharp reduction in traffic through the vital waterway for energy risks creating a drag on imports, pushing up oil prices and threatening foreign demand for Chinese goods. The strength of sales abroad powered China to an unprecedented trade surplus of $1.2 trillion in 2025. Shipping volumes so far in 2026 are mostly staying above last year’s record-setting levels, thanks in part to strong global demand driven by i...
