Apple has taken the wraps off its $599 MacBook Neo , entering new territory in a way that could shake up the computer market. At the same time, it plans to push deeper into the high end with more Ultra devices. Also: The company aims to use 3D-printed aluminum, and it’s refreshing the iMac with new colors. Last week in Power On : Apple’s touch-screen MacBook will stop well short of a Mac-iPad hybrid. The Starters This past week, Apple Inc. stepped a bit outside its comfort zone by launching the $599 MacBook Neo — a machine with the potential to disrupt the lower end of the laptop market. Just a few years ago, it would have been nearly impossible for Apple to build a product like this. Several developments helped make it viable. New manufacturing technologies lowered the cost of producing aluminum enclosures. The Apple A18 Pro chip from the iPhone 16 became inexpensive enough to deploy at scale. And macOS has gradually been redesigned with more color and visual personality, making Macs potentially more appealing to a younger audience. Apple also benefited from earlier foundational shifts. Building a $599 laptop under the constraints of Intel processors would have been extremely difficult. The transition to Apple’s own silicon — combined with macOS being overhauled to run on Arm-based processors — ultimately made the MacBook Neo possible. The Neo isn’t Apple’s only low-cost product, but the price gap between the company’s entry-level Mac and the next tier is far larger than in other categories. The Neo is 45% — or $500 — cheaper than the MacBook Air above it. By comparison, the Apple Watch SE is $150, or about 38%, less expensive than the Apple Watch Series 11 and the iPhone 17e is only $200, or 25%, less pricey than the iPhone 17. I expect Apple to continue producing its other entry-level devices. It may even make sense to extend the Neo branding to those products in place of the confusing SE label — a name that really only resonates with people who know Apple’s deep...

How it started Apologies to the Toyota Prius, but the first hybrid vehicle of note was the Semper Vivus, developed by Ferdinand Porsche (yes, that Porsche) way back in 1900. The Semper Vivus (Latin for “always alive”) used two combustion engines to power generators, which then fed electricity to motors inside the wheel hubs. The fact that it took modern engineers over a century to really appreciate the merging of internal combustion engines with electric power is a sign that ingenuity isn’t always a foregone conclusion in the automotive world. Car companies are now trying to make up for lost time. Thanks to stagnating EV sales, hybrid vehicles are experiencing a major surge in popularity, with sales reaching record levels in 2024 and 2025. Hybrids are often held up as a stepping stone between the gas-driven cars of yesterday and the fully electric ones of tomorrow. Plug-in hybrids can offer 20–60 miles of electric-only driving for daily use, plus a gas engine for longer trips or when they can’t recharge. And as EV growth slows down, many automakers clearly see hybrids — and more specifically, plug-in hybrids (PHEV) — as a better fit for America’s fluctuating tastes. To give you a sense of where things are heading: The Toyota RAV4, America’s most popular vehicle of any type, is now only available in hybrid trims. But cracks are starting to show in that market as well. Without strict fuel economy standards or EV tax credits, some automakers are shifting away from PHEVs. Jeep, for example, recently axed its PHEV models, despite being among the best-selling plug...

Investors who want to capitalize on the growing weight loss market might be tempted to turn to the current leaders in the field, Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk . Both companies are worth serious consideration, in my view, but other drugmakers could also offer investors exposure to this area while having more diversified portfolios. Some investors might be more attracted to this value proposition. That said, here are two companies quietly making progress in the weight-loss market that may be worth investing in today: Regeneron (NASDAQ: REGN) and Roche (OTC: RHHBY) . Image source: Getty Images. Last year, Regeneron reported strong phase 2 results for one of its leading weight-loss candidates, trevogrumab. One thing to note about this product is that it is being developed to help minimize muscle loss in patients taking GLP-1 medicines. In the mid-stage trial, though about 33% of the weight loss in patients taking semaglutide (the generic name for Wegovy) was due to lean mass loss, trevogrumab was able to avert about half of that lean mass loss .

No matter how independent you are, rules are a way of life. From infancy on, you're expected to do everything according to one set of rules or another. By the time you're in your 70s, however, you must stick to the rules surrounding required minimum distributions (RMDs), the amount of money you must withdraw each year from certain retirement accounts. These accounts include: 401(k) plans 403(b) plans 457(b) plans Traditional IRAs SEP IRAs SIMPLE IRAs SARSEPs Profit-sharing plans Other defined contribution plans Inherited IRAs If you have savings in any of these plans, it's vital you know the rules and when they apply. For example, here are three ways RMDs were tweaked under the SECURE Act 2.0. 1. A little more time to grow RMDs have evolved over time to land where they are today. Here's where they stand: If you were born prior to 1951, you'll experience no change. If you were born between 1951 and 1959, you must begin taking RMDs the year in which you turn 73. If you were born in 1960 or later, the RMD age is 75. Pushing the RMD age back may be good for you. If you don't need your RMDs to pay everyday bills, it gives your money more time to grow in your retirement account. Still, it's important to keep the age at which you'll be required to take RMDs straight so you're not hit with a penalty (more on that in a moment). Note: You can choose to delay your first RMD until April 1 of the year after you turn 73 (or 75 if you were born in 1960 or later). However, give it some serious thought before making that decision. If you wait until the following year to take your RMD, you must still take one by Dec. 31 of that year. That amounts to two RMDs in one year and could impact your tax bracket and how much you pay for Medicare Parts B and D. 2. Penalties have been reduced If you fail to withdraw your RMD in full by the due date, any amount not withdrawn may be subject to an excise tax of 25%. While that's definitely steep, the penalty was 50% before SECURE 2.0. For example,...

Whether they’re driving, flying or just trying to heat their homes, consumers worldwide are fast feeling the effects of the widening Iran war. Gasoline, diesel and jet fuel prices have jumped, as the conflict between the US, Israel and Iran chokes off oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. And as the war threatens to drag on — with President Donald Trump demanding Iran’s total surrender — analysts say prices could climb far higher, fueling inflation. “It’s too much,” said Uber driver Ahmed Abdelmagid, as he filled his SUV at a New York City gas station. Overnight, the station’s cash price for a gallon of regular had jumped 30 cents, to $3.29, according to data from GasBuddy. “Especially for New York, everything is too expensive,” he said. Read More: Iran War Oil Shock Threatens to Unleash Wave of Global Inflation US gasoline prices will likely reach an average of $3.50 to $3.65 a gallon by the middle of the week, according to Patrick De Haan, GasBuddy’s head of petroleum analysis. But $4 a gallon, which looked unlikely at the outset of the conflict, no longer seems outlandish, he said. “I still have some level of confidence that the ‘drill baby drill, $1.85 a gallon in Iowa’ president is going to step in before we get to $4,” De Haan said. “But now I’m losing faith.” Despite surging production in the US during the last decade, the world remains heavily reliant on Middle Eastern oil, much of which flows through the narrow strait that’s now effectively closed. The war has not only threatened supplies — it’s driving up insurance costs for tankers, raising the cost of delivering crude and fuels even when cargoes can be sourced. “The impact on the energy markets is likely to be way bigger than when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022,” said Jeff Currie , chief strategy officer of energy pathways at Carlyle Group Inc. The shock in refined product supplies has also begun upending typical trade routes, with the US exporting gasoline to Australia for the first time since 202...

shotbydave Oil is continuing its rally based on blockchain and weekend trading prices, though it is off its highs late Sunday. Seeking Alpha analyst Mike Zaccardi cited data from Augur Infinity showing WTI ( CL1:COM ) ( USO ) futures traded on the Hyperliquid blockchain topping $95/barrel. Brent ( CO1:COM ) ( BNO ) Hyperliquid futures also moved above $95. Augur Infinity On IG’s weekend market, which offers spread betting and contracts for difference, WTI was trading just below $95. IG Kuwait has reduced production and refining as the ongoing Middle East conflict sends ripple effects across the region, including a near-total shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, Qatar’s energy minister warned that Persian Gulf energy exporters could shut down production within days, potentially driving oil to $150/barrel. Prediction markets are also pricing in further upside. On Polymarket, traders see about a 25% chance oil tops $150, a 90% probability it moves above $100, and roughly a 7% chance it climbs past $200.

据报道称，一些交易商开始以低于伦敦基准价格最高每盎司30美元的折扣出售黄金。 据央视财经报道，作为全球重要的黄金交易中心之一，迪拜当地黄金市场交易量明显上升，部分投资者将资金转向黄金等避险资产。 同时，由于航班停飞和物流通道受阻，大量黄金滞留在迪拜，因仓储和资金成本过高，一些交易商被迫打折出售黄金。 据报道称，一些交易商开始以低于伦敦基准价格最高每盎司30美元的折扣出售黄金。 在刚刚过去的一周中，在中东冲突爆发初期黄金曾显著上涨，3月2日开盘，现货黄金、白银双双飙涨，COMEX黄金涨超2%，最高触及5400美元/盎司以上，随后震荡走低，持续在5000美元-5200美元/盎司区间高位震荡，并未持续此前涨幅。 黄金的避险资产属性同地缘政治之间的关系如何定价？ 美联储前高级经济学家、上海交通大学上海高级金融学院教授胡捷在接受第一财经记者采访时表示，黄金的叙事逻辑很大程度上锚定于“情绪”。 他表示道，若各方冲突能在短时间内平息并达成新的平衡， 公众对于地缘紧张局势的担忧可能减轻。在这种情况下，黄金的避险叙事不仅不会强化，反而可能延续此前缓和的态势，推动溢价进一步回落。 运输瓶颈与黄金价格 今年以来，金价已上涨约20%，并在1月下旬一度触及5595美元/盎司上方的历史新高。持续的地缘政治与贸易紧张局势，以及对美联储独立性的担忧，共同支撑了黄金需求。 不过，在胡捷看来，在此轮相关局势升级之前，“由地缘政治动荡催生的这一轮情绪共振已接近尾声。一方面是由于黄金价格处于高位，另一方面，此前的地缘形势曾出现缓和迹象，包括巴以冲突的相对平静以及俄乌冲突缓解的可能性。当这种宏观叙事的强度减弱，市场的情绪共振便会显现出疲态。” 如今，中东局势又起为这种情绪回落增添了各种料想之外的变数。 如前所述，中东局势导致进出迪拜的航空运输中断，全球金银流通正遭受重大冲击。交易员认为，此举可能加剧今年已剧烈波动的贵金属价格。 据报道，作为全球黄金运输枢纽，迪拜去年承载了约20%的全球黄金流通量。这既包括在阿联酋精炼的黄金，也涵盖经此中转的欧亚黄金贸易。 交易员和分析师认为，若金银运输长期中断，可能推高亚洲市场区域价格，并加剧近期贵金属市场的波动。 另有迹象表明，精炼商在采购（通常在矿场铸造的半精炼金条）方面面临挑战。印度最大贵金属精炼商MMTC-PAMP首席执行官兼董事总经理古哈（Samit Guha）表...

Photos: These bold women stand up for justice, rights ... and freedom toggle caption Annice Lyn/The Everyday Projects March 8 is International Women's Day — a date picked in honor of a remarkable Russian protest. During World War I, women in Russia went on strike. They demanded "bread and peace." Among the results of their four-day protest: the Czar abdicated and women gained the right to vote. This bold strike began on Feb. 23, 1917, according to the Julian calendar then used in Russia. That date translated to March 8 in the Gregorian calendar that much of the world uses. So that's the day chosen for this celebratory event. True to the spirit of those Russian women, the world pauses on this day to celebrate the achievements of women. This year to mark International Women's Day, the United Nations is calling for "Rights. Justice. Action. For all women and girls." Sponsor Message Sometimes, the true achievements are the ones that we barely see. The photographers at The Everyday Projects, a global photography and storytelling network, have shared portraits of women who in ways large and small are determined, like those Russian women over 100 years ago, to improve the lives of women and to build a better world. Singing with strength Kuala Lumpur-based photographer Annice Lyn likes to highlight the strength, resilience and the stories of women who are often overlooked. That's the inspiration for her portrait of Jean, 72, as she prepares for a performance of Chinese opera at Kwai Chai Hong, a restored heritage alley in Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown in August 2024. Such performances, typically staged during festivals and temple celebrations, combine singing, acting, martial arts, elaborate costumes and symbolic makeup to tell classical stories from Chinese folklore, history, and literature. "Performers like Jean often dedicate decades of their lives to mastering this art form, preserving techniques and stories that are centuries old," says Lyn. They told her that they may enco...

Key Points Geopolitical dynamics could help TMC accelerate its progression to commercialization. The company has yet to generate any sales from its mining and processing operations. TMC will probably have delivered incredible returns if it reaches the point where it's paying dividend, but that's a speculative bet. 10 stocks we like better than TMC The Metals Company › TMC The Metals Company (NASDAQ: TMC) has emerged as a hot play amid rapidly shifting dynamics in the minerals market. The company specializes in the collection of deep-sea nodules that contain a variety of valuable minerals including cobalt, nickel, copper, and manganese. Some investors are also betting that the company could become a player in the rare-earth minerals space. TMC's business is still in a pre-revenue state, and the company went public through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) in September 2021. Across its history as a publicly traded company, TMC has never paid a dividend. Could the stock set investors up for life if the company starts returning cash directly to shareholders with regular dividend payments? 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 » TMC is probably a long way away from paying a dividend With relations with China heading in an increasingly adversarial direction in recent years, securing access to critical minerals through other channels has become increasingly important for the U.S. and its allies. China accounts for a huge chunk of of global mineral excavation and refining, and its share of the rare-earth minerals market is even more pronounced -- coming in between 60% and 70% of mining extraction and over 90% of refining. Amid this backdrop, TMC's timelines for achieving the necessary regulatory approvals and launching and scaling its business have probably been accelerate...

在美国与以色列对伊朗的战争持续期间，航空业陷入混乱，中东部分航空公司的航班班次有限，而其他航班运营则处于暂停状态。 卡塔尔航空公司表示，今日已有从多哈哈马德国际机场起飞的回国航班，目的地为阿姆斯特丹、柏林、法兰克福、伦敦和苏黎世。该航空公司称，预计明日将有更多航班从上述城市以及阿曼首都马斯喀特飞抵多哈。 “这些航班仅面向最终目的地为多哈的旅客，”该航空公司在X平台上发文称。“这些航班不代表定期商业运营的恢复。” 与此同时，巴林国际机场在社交媒体上表示，由于巴林领空关闭，今日该机场的航班运营仍处于暂停状态。“领空安全重新开放后，运营将恢复。” 阿联酋航空在最新更新中表示，已恢复迪拜国际机场的运营。该航空公司昨日在X平台发文称：“阿联酋航空持续关注局势，并将据此制定运营计划。” 周六早些时候，由于机场附近有无人机被拦截，机场已通知旅客前往避难。 此外，以色列本古里安机场今日约有2000名旅客将乘坐40个预定航班起飞，这是战争爆发以来该机场首次有出境航班。 英国航空仍在公布下周从马斯喀特飞往伦敦希思罗机场的航班信息，周一至周四每日有一班航班起飞，但该航空公司表示正在“持续评估局势”。 责任编辑：陈钰嘉

Wealth building in the stock market rarely comes from chasing the loudest headline or the fastest-moving stock. Trust me, I've lost thousands chasing loud press releases. More often than not, wealth comes from owning businesses that quietly compound value year after year. These are companies with durable competitive advantages, disciplined capital allocation, and positions in industries where demand persists even when sentiment swings or headlines turn negative. A common theme across the three stocks featured below is that these companies are quietly acquiring and absorbing other brands. I view them as long-term wealth builders because they prioritize profitability, generate high income, and diversify their holdings. 1. Spectrum Brands Spectrum Brands (SPB +0.43%) is a $1.8 billion consumer essentials company that most investors walk past on the way to flashier names. It owns Black & Decker small appliances (under license), Remington personal care products, George Foreman grills, and household brands like Cutter insect repellent and Spectracide lawn care.​ These companies might not seem like a reason to buy, but they show me a company that is expanding and absorbing profitable businesses. Expand NYSE : SPB Spectrum Brands Today's Change ( 0.43 %) $ 0.33 Current Price $ 76.50 Key Data Points Market Cap $1.8B Day's Range $ 73.77 - $ 76.53 52wk Range $ 49.99 - $ 80.42 Volume 24K Avg Vol 356K Gross Margin 36.91 % Dividend Yield 2.46 % The real reason I like the stock is the company's global pet care segment, which just returned to growth in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 (ended Dec. 28, 2025). The company beat earnings-per-share (EPS) expectations by a staggering 84%, posting $1.40 versus the $0.76 estimate, on $677 million in revenue. It generated nearly $60 million in adjusted free cash flow and repurchased roughly 600,000 shares during the quarter. I also like how the stock pays a 2.4% dividend and trades at roughly 18 times earnings, well below its discounted cash...

Israel hits Iran's oil depots as clerics say consensus reached on Ayatollah successor toggle caption Vahid Salemi/AP Israel targeted Iran's oil facilities for the first time early Sunday, with videos showing huge flames lighting up the sky, while Tehran responded to attacks on its infrastructure by targeting that of its regional neighbors, hitting a desalination plant in Bahrain. Meanwhile, Iranian state media reported officials were close to announcing a successor for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in Israeli strikes at the start of the war. The Israeli Defense Force vowed it would "pursue every successor and every person who seeks to appoint a successor." President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have both pledged to continue hitting Iran hard. Sponsor Message Here's what to know as the increasingly regional conflict enters its ninth day: Iran and Israel launch attacks on critical infrastructure This appears to be the first time Israel has targeted a civilian oil facility in Iran. An Iranian news agency reported at least four tanker drivers were killed. The Israeli military says Iran made frequent use of that oil storage facility in Tehran to operate military infrastructure. Separately, Iran's foreign minister said a U.S. airstrike damaged an Iranian desalination plant for the first time. Also for the first time in the Gulf – a desalination plant in Bahrain was damaged in an Iranian drone attack. These attacks on energy and water infrastructure are a significant escalation in the war. The region depends on desalinated sea water for drinking water. And much of the world relies on oil from the Gulf. Iranian clerics say they've chosen a new – unnamed– supreme leader Iran's Assembly of Experts is the group of clerics tasked with appointing a successor. A member of the group says they've been working on approving the new leader and a majority consensus has been reached. He didn't say what that consensus was. Israel's military tweeted a warni...
