Leamus/iStock via Getty Images Lithium Argentina AG ( LAR ) has pulled back after an incredible run the last year due to weak EV sales in China and the conflict in Iran. The lithium market has seen higher prices as demand remains strong while supply isn't keeping up due to the time it takes to bring new mines online. My investment thesis is bullish on the stock due to the lithium miner already having supply on the market with plenty of opportunities to expand lithium output over time. Source: Finviz Ramping Production Lithium Argentina has some advantages over other lithium miners due to having existing production. The Cauchari-Olaroz mine produced 34,100 tonnes of lithium in 2025 with a planned capacity of 40,000 tonnes in Stage 1. Source: Lithium Argentina 2026 presentation The company produced Q3 revenues of $58 million with a sales price of just $7,522/tonne. Lithium Argentina had cash costs in the quarter of $6,295/tonne, so the company really only needs more normalized lithium prices in order to generate solid profit and cash flows. The company even guided to Q4 cash costs below $6,000 per tonne with the higher production of 9,700 tonnes in the quarter. Now that Lithium Argentina has hit nearly the current capacity run rate of 40 ktpa, the company can start looking at the long-term growth plans. The Cauchari mine has the potential for a Stage 2 with a 45 ktpa expansion, and the Pozuelos Pastos-Grandes, or PPG, mine is an even bigger opportunity with 3 stages offering upwards of 150 ktpa. Over the last few months, lithium prices soared due to supply/demand imbalances. Lithium now trades at $22K/t, but the prices dipped last week with concerns about demand, though tensions in the Middle East aren't likely to alter the long-term demand equation. Source: Trading Economics BYD ( BYDDF ) was the main contributor to the EV sales weakness in China. Generally, the sector saw weakness due to the reinstatement of the 5% purchase tax on new energy vehicles, but BYD specif...

SusanneB/E+ via Getty Images This article is part of a series that provides an ongoing analysis of the changes made to Leon Cooperman’s 13F stock portfolio on a quarterly basis. It is based on his regulatory 13F Form filed on 02/17/2026. The 13F portfolio value decreased from ~$3.20B to ~$3.01B this quarter. Recent 13F reports have shown a total of around 45 individual stock positions in the portfolio, although many of them are minutely small. The largest five stakes are Rocket Companies, Vertiv Holdings, Energy Transfer, Mirion Technologies, and Apollo Global Management. They add up to ~45% of the entire portfolio. Please visit our Tracking Leon Cooperman’s Omega Advisors Portfolio series to get an idea of their investment philosophy and our last update for the activity last quarter. New Stakes: Rocket Companies ( RKT ) : RKT is currently the largest 13F position at 13.50% of the portfolio. It came about as a result of Rocket Companies acquisition of Mr. Cooper’s Group. They received ~31.5M shares of Rocket Companies for the 2.86M shares of Mr. Cooper’s Group shares held. The position was reduced by roughly one-third during the quarter at prices between ~$15.25 and ~$20.75. The stock currently trades at $16.33. Stake Disposals: Mr. Cooper (COOP) : Mr. Cooper was the largest 13F position at ~19% of the portfolio as of last quarter. The original small stake was doubled in Q4 2018 in the mid-teens price range following its 12-for-1 reverse stock split and name change transaction. That original stake was since sold down, but a larger stake was built during Q4 2019 & Q1 2020 at prices between ~$6 and ~$14.50. There was a ~15% trimming during Q1 2021 at prices between ~$27 and ~$37. Rocket Companies ( RKT ) acquired Mr. Cooper in a cash-and-stock deal (11 Rocket shares for each Mr. Cooper, plus a $2.00 per share dividend) that closed in October 2025, thus eliminating this position. Stake Increases: Energy Transfer Equity ( ET ) : ET is a large (top three) 7.29% of the po...

Iraqi Supply Loss Could Expose The Real Limits Of OPEC Spare Capacity Authored by Julianne Geiger via OilPrice.com , Iraq has already begun shutting in production as exports through the Strait of Hormuz become increasingly constrained. Roughly 1.5 million barrels per day are reportedly offline, and officials have warned that figure could approach 3 million bpd if disruptions persist. At 3 million bpd, this becomes one of the largest sudden supply losses in the modern market outside of sanctions or war. Iraq’s total crude production has been running near 4.0–4.3 million bpd, according to recent OPEC secondary-source data. Exports typically average between 3.2 and 3.4 million bpd, the vast majority shipped from southern terminals at Basrah. China and India together account for roughly two-thirds of those flows, making Iraq one of Asia’s most critical heavy crude suppliers. That output is heavily concentrated in the southern fields feeding Basrah exports . Rumaila alone has nameplate capacity of around 1.4–1.5 million bpd and routinely produces well above 1.3 million bpd. West Qurna 1 produces roughly 600,000 bpd, with capacity closer to 650,000–670,000. West Qurna 2 is producing around 460,000 bpd, though development plans have targeted 750,000–800,000. Zubair’s design capacity is roughly 700,000 bpd. The Maysan complex contributes roughly 300,000–350,000 bpd. Taken together, those fields account for the bulk of Iraq’s export engine. A 3 million bpd shut-in would effectively sideline most of the southern system and remove a significant share of medium and heavy sour barrels from global trade. The obvious question is whether OPEC can replace those barrels. And the answer depends on who you ask and how you define spare capacity. But even theoretically, it’s a stretch. In December last year, the EIA redefined the terms “maximum sustainable capacity” as the upper limit a producer could reach within a year if everything runs smoothly and “effective capacity” which is the a...

The $7 million in annual recurring revenue that Cluely co-founder and CEO Roy Lee shared with TechCrunch last summer was a lie, Lee admitted on Thursday on X. Wrote Lee, this “is the only blatantly dishonest thing i’ve said publicly online, so this is my formal retraction.” Yet his post on X also misrepresents the backstory of how and why he told TechCrunch his ARR in the first place. Lee says in that same post that he “got a random cold call from some woman asking about numbers and told her some bs, did not expect an article about it.” But that call occurred because Cluely’s public relations representative emailed TechCrunch and offered to make Lee available for a story. On Friday, Jun 27, 2025 at 8:38 a.m., Cluely’s PR person sent an email to TechCrunch reporter Marina Temkin that said, “I’d love to arrange an interview with Roy. Whether for a deeper dive into Cluely’s next phase or a fresh angle on his vision, we’d be happy to make it happen.” Temkin agreed. The PR representative shared Lee’s number and confirmed that he was expecting the call. After a few attempts to reach him, Lee answered the call and gave the interview, as had been arranged. eh kinda, here's our stripes from june 2025 got a random cold call from some woman asking about numbers and told her some bs, did not expect an article about it here's what we were doing at the time: > consumer arr 2.7m, run rate 3.8m > enterprise arr 2.5m, run rate 2.5m >… https://t.co/CzAoPRru2R pic.twitter.com/C5bXuz8HqW — Roy (@im_roy_lee) March 5, 2026 TechCrunch was interested in talking to Cluely because in the summer of 2025, Cluely was the “cheat-on-everything” phenomenon — a viral startup that let users secretly look up answers during video calls without being detected. The company was founded after Lee published a viral post on X saying he had been suspended by Columbia University after he and his co-founder developed a tool to cheat on job interviews for software engineers.

Computers associated with Iranian government-backed hackers disappeared from the internet when Israel’s military attacked a military compound in Tehran, according to a threat intelligence firm. The Israel Defense Forces said in a tweet Wednesday it struck targets in eastern Tehran, including the headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Iran’s cyber warfare unit, the headquarters of the intelligence directorate and other key military and intelligence divisions. Iranian internet addresses associated with the hacking groups went dark on the same day, some within the same hour, according to an assessment from cyber intelligence firm GreyNoise Intelligence Inc. , which monitors the internet for malicious behavior. Network traffic originating in Iran observed by the cybersecurity company stopped at that time, including four Iranian IP addresses that went offline simultaneously. Read More: Iranian Hacking Groups Go Dark Amid US, Israeli Military Strikes The disruption correlated with the IDF’s strike on the compound that housed Iran’s cyber warfare unit, according to GreyNoise. “Iran represents a large portion of the state-aligned groups that security companies track,” said Andrew Morris, the firm’s founder. “Some amount of that is just going to stop because the people who did it are dead.” Based on when the traffic stopped, Morris estimated that the airstrike hit just before noon New York time, or 8 p.m. in Tehran. The web devices “suddenly flatlining completely” suggests they were “destroyed or disrupted due to sudden loss in power or network connectivity,” he said. Since the US and Israel started launching military strikes on Iran on Saturday, US national security officials and Western cyber firms have warned about potential retaliation from state-sponsored Iranian hacking groups. However, known cyber-espionage groups that have operated on behalf of the government in Tehran have failed to play a meaningful public role in the new war, a relative silence tha...

The Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury ETF (VGIT 0.20%) and the iShares 3-7 Year Treasury Bond ETF (IEI 0.17%) both target U.S. Treasury bonds in the intermediate maturity range. They are designed to give investors straightforward access to U.S. Treasury bonds with moderate interest rate risk, primarily holding securities maturing in three to 10 years (VGIT) or three to seven years (IEI). This comparison explores how these two popular funds stack up on cost, returns, risk, and portfolio composition. Snapshot (cost & size) Metric VGIT IEI Issuer Vanguard iShares Expense ratio 0.03% 0.15% 1-yr return (as of March 5, 2026) 1.45% 1.52% Dividend yield 3.74% 3.47% Beta (5Y monthly) 0.81 0.70 AUM $48.7 billion $18.5 billion VGIT is notably more affordable with its lower expense ratio, which could appeal to cost-conscious investors. VGIT also offers a slightly higher yield, making it more attractive for those seeking income from Treasury exposure. Performance & risk comparison Metric VGIT IEI Max drawdown (5 y) -16.05% -14.60% Growth of $1,000 over 5 years $886 $914 What's inside IEI focuses on U.S. Treasury bonds with three to seven years to maturity, holding 82 different securities and providing diversified exposure to intermediate-term Treasuries. The fund has operated for over 19 years, offering a well-established option for those seeking moderate interest rate risk without sector tilts or quirks. VGIT also invests solely in U.S. Treasury bonds but stretches to a slightly longer maturity window (three to 10 years), with 104 holdings. Like IEI, VGIT avoids sector bias and maintains a pure government bond profile. For more guidance on ETF investing, check out the full guide at this link. What this means for investors Bonds can provide additional security and stability to your portfolio, making these ETFs strong investments when the market is shaky. VGIT’s longer maturity window increases its risk slightly, as longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest ra...
