Shiba Inu (SHIB 0.58%) was launched in 2020 as a parody of Dogecoin (DOGE +0.38%), which itself was a parody of Bitcoin (BTC 0.32%). It started trading at $0.00000000051 per token, set a record high of $0.00008845 in 2021, but now trades at about $0.0000057. In other words, a $1,000 investment in its market debut would have briefly blossomed to $173.4 million before shrinking back to roughly $11.2 million today. That's still an impressive return for its earliest investors, but anyone who bought Shiba Inu at its all-time high is now underwater. Should contrarian investors buy Shiba Inu today, expecting it to recover during the next crypto summer? Or should they avoid it and stick with blue chip tokens like Bitcoin instead? The bull and bear case for Shiba Inu Shiba Inu can't be mined like Bitcoin or Dogecoin. It was created as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum's (ETH 0.20%) blockchain, and its creators minted its entire supply of one quadrillion tokens before its market debut. They gifted over half of those tokens to Ethereum's co-founder, Vitalik Buterin, who subsequently burned most of that stake. Shiba Inu still has a circulating supply of 589.5 trillion tokens as of this writing, so it can't be valued by its scarcity. It also doesn't natively support the development of decentralized apps or other crypto assets like Ethereum, since it doesn't have its own Layer 1 (L1) blockchain. Unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum, Shiba Inu isn't supported by any spot price ETFs. Expand CRYPTO : SHIB Shiba Inu Today's Change ( -0.58 %) $ -0.00 Current Price $ 0.00 Key Data Points Market Cap $3.4B Day's Range $ 0.00 - $ 0.00 52wk Range $ 0.00 - $ 0.00 Volume 62M The bears believe those limitations will prevent Shiba Inu from keeping pace with Bitcoin, valued by its scarcity, and Ethereum, valued by its utility. Over the past 12 months, Shiba Inu's price plunged by more than 60% -- while Bitcoin and Ether fell by 30% and 17%, respectively. The bulls will point out that Shibarium, a Layer 2 (L2)...

Douglas Rissing More than half of investors surveyed by Bank of America now believe the Federal Reserve has either already met the conditions for a rate hike or will do so if core inflation continues climbing—even without weakness in the labor market. According to BofA Securities analyst Aditya Bhave, the survey reveals a distinctly hawkish market mindset. The largest group of respondents, at 22%, said the minimum threshold for a hike by year-end would be core PCE inflation running between 3.0% and 3.5% with unemployment below 4.0%. Another 19% predicted hikes if core PCE reaches 3.5% to 4.0%, regardless of jobless figures, while an additional 19% set the trigger at core PCE hitting 4% or higher. Only 14% of respondents believe the Fed will refrain from hiking rates this year, signaling a decisive shift away from the cuts-only mindset that prevailed in recent months. The latest core PCE inflation reading was 3.2% Y/Y in March, while the unemployment rate was 4.3% in April.

Mikel Arteta has said he could not bear to watch Manchester City’s draw at Bournemouth and was building a fire in his garden when Arsenal’s first title in 22 years was confirmed. The manager also admitted his relief at being crowned champions after three successive runners-up finishes and revealed he had questioned whether he was good enough to help his team make the final step. Arteta had headed to the training ground to watch the City match with the squad on Tuesday, having previously said he planned to stay at home. But 20 minutes before kick-off he decided he could not bear the tension and went back to be with his family. “I was supposed to be here with the players, and certain staff, because that’s what they wanted,” he said. “But I couldn’t. I had to leave. I couldn’t bring the energy that I wanted. “It was their moment to be together, watch it themselves and just see what the outcome would be. I went home, went outside to the garden, started to build some fire and started to do some barbecue. I didn’t watch any of it. I was just hearing noises in the background and the living room. Then the magic happened. “My oldest son [Gabriel, who plays for Arsenal’s under 18s] opened the garden door, ran towards me, started to cry, gave me a hug and said: ‘We’re champions Daddy.’ My other two boys and my wife came over and it was beautiful to see the joy in them – they are always with me. It was magical. A minute later Martin Ødegaard was with the video: ‘Where are you? Come over.’ I said: ‘Enjoy it. See you in a few hours, somewhere in London.’” Asked whether he regretted not being there to celebrate with his players, Arteta added: “It was a moment and they have to be themselves in that moment and if I’m there, I think it was not going to be the same. And yes, I’m glad they did it that way, they enjoyed it so much and the staff was all over the place and then we had our moment together a few hours later.” Arteta was pictured in a West End nightclub with most of the Arse...

US Targets Hamas Support Networks Authored by Naveen Athrappully via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), The Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is sanctioning four individuals associated with a pro-Hamas flotilla that is trying to access Gaza in support of the terrorist group , the department said in a May 19 statement. Hamas terrorists secure an area before handing over an Israeli American hostage to a Red Cross team in Gaza City on Feb. 1, 2025. Photo by SAEED JARAS/Middle East Images/AFP via Getty Images The flotilla is organized by the Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad (PCPA), which has been classified as a specially designated global terrorist by the United States. " The PCPA was established with funding from Hamas's International Relations Bureau and Hamas directs its activity through the placement of Hamas officials throughout the organization, including its executive body, the General Secretariat ," the Treasury said. "So-called humanitarian flotillas that are organized by or supporting designated parties represent a significant compliance risk for financial institutions. Sanctioned terrorist groups continue to maintain significant influence over maritime flotillas to Gaza." The four individuals sanctioned by the Treasury include a Spanish member of the PCPA's General Secretariat, who is a central figure of the flotilla; the acting secretary general and president of the PCPA, who is from Jordan; a Belgium-based European coordinator for the Samidoun organization; and a Samidoun coordinator from Spain. Samidoun is a front organization for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which the State Department has designated as a foreign terrorist organization. Both the PCPA and Samidoun act on behalf of sanctioned Palestinian terrorist organizations, the Treasury said. In addition, OFAC sanctioned several members of Muslim Brotherhood networks who are aligned with Hamas. All property and interests in property of th...

Alibaba Group Holding (BABA) is a global conglomerate specializing in e-commerce, retail, cloud computing, and digital media. The company commands a dominant position in the Chinese digital economy through its core online marketplaces, Taobao and Tmall. Beyond its foundational e-commerce footprint, Alibaba has transformed into a critical infrastructure provider via its Cloud Intelligence Group. Founded in 1999, the company is headquartered in Hangzhou, China. BABA Stock Continues to Struggle Alibaba's stock price reflects the ongoing volatility of China's economic recovery. The equity is trading around $134.47, pushing off a 52-week low of $103.71 while retracing from its 52-week high of $192.67. Over the past 12 months, the asset has registered a stable 7.4% return. However, intense competition and massive capital expenditures on AI chip development have weighed on near-term valuations, causing a 12% year-to-date decline. Over a longer horizon, geopolitical and regulatory overhangs persist, leaving the stock with a negative 37% five-year return. Compared with the broader market, Alibaba continues to trade at a deep valuation discount. While domestic equity indices have steadily climbed on mega-cap tech expansion, Alibaba’s year-to-date contraction highlights a decoupling from broader market momentum. Alibaba In-line with Analyst Estimates Alibaba reported resilient fourth-quarter results on May 13, underscoring an aggressive, investment-heavy operational pivot toward next-generation tech. Total quarterly revenue rose 3% year-over-year to $35.28 billion, matching consensus estimates. Growth was primarily turbocharged by a major structural acceleration within the Cloud Intelligence Group, which saw its external revenue surge 40% year-over-year. Crucially, AI-related product revenue delivered triple-digit growth for the 11th consecutive quarter, now contributing 30% of total external cloud sales and validating management's deep tech ambitions. However, aggressive ecos...

Key Points The Trump Administration plans to award $2 billion in grants and take equity stakes in nine quantum computing companies. Despite having the best name in the industry, Quantum Computing stock is not one of them. 10 stocks we like better than Quantum Computing › Valued at only $2.2 billion in market capitalization, Quantum Computing (NASDAQ: QUBT) stock may have the best name in the quantum computing industry -- but it's still one of the smaller stocks in this industry. Despite what you may be seeing happen with the stock price today, however, I fear Quantum Computing may be destined to stay small. Shares of Quantum Computing leapt 16% through 11:05 a.m. ET Thursday morning, after The Wall Street Journal reported the Trump Administration plans to award $2 billion in grants to nine quantum computing companies and take equity stakes to secure its investment in each. 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 » Money for thee, but not for me That sounds like good news, but here's the thing: Quantum Computing is not one of these nine companies. Instead of giving money to Quantum Computing, the Trump Administration will award $100 million each to its rivals D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS), Infleqtion (NYSE: INFQ), and Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI), $375 million to Globalfoundries (NASDAQ: GFS), and a cool $1 billion to International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM)! A handful of privately owned companies will split the remainder of the $2 billion. And Quantum Computing itself will get none. What does this mean for Quantum Computing stock? So how is this good news for Quantum Computing stock, if it's getting no money, and everyone else is getting a lot of money -- plus backing from the U.S. government that will give it an interest in seeing Quantum Computing's rivals succeed (and perhaps that Qu...
