Three brothers, including two of the nation’s most successful luxury real estate brokers, were convicted of sex trafficking charges on Monday after a five-week trial over accusations that they used drugs and force to rape scores of women they had dazzled with their wealth and opulent lifestyle. The verdict came after 11 women testified they were sexually assaulted by one or more of the brothers: twins Oren and Alon Alexander, 38, and Tal Alexander, 39. The women described attacks that occurred after they were invited to vacation locales including the Hamptons, a Caribbean cruise and a ski trip in Aspen, Colorado. More than 60 women say they were raped by one or more of the brothers, according to prosecutors. Defense lawyers suggested the accusers had faulty memories or were hoping to cash in on the brothers’ fortunes. The brothers, their lawyers conceded, were womanizers. But they insisted any sex was consensual. Oren and Tal Alexander were brokers at real-estate powerhouse Douglas Elliman before starting their own firm, Official. Alon Alexander worked at the family’s private security firm. Besides the criminal case, the trio faced about two dozen lawsuits, including one filed Thursday by Tracy Tutor, a star of Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles on Bravo. She alleges Oren Alexander drugged and assaulted her in a restaurant bathroom while she was in New York for a real estate event. When those lawsuits first began being filed, multiple women came forward claiming they had also been sexually harassed or assaulted, and that the brothers’ misconduct with women had been an open secret in the real estate world for years. During the trial, many of the women who testified said they believed they had been drugged after they were handed alcohol by one of the brothers. Some described feeling like they had lost control of their bodies after less than one drink. The brothers met the women at nightclubs, parties and on dating apps, taking some on trips to ritzy locales, and payin...

Torsten Asmus/iStock via Getty Images Thesis You opened up your brokerage account this morning, and while the market was crashing, you were happy to see your portfolio hedge in the form of ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF ( UVXY ) up significantly. We are talking about Monday, March 9, 2026, here, when the market tanked in the a.m. due to the Iran conflict and fears around oil prices. However, nothing good lasts long, and by the afternoon UVXY was actually down on the day: UVXY March 9 price (Seeking Alpha) In today's article we will discuss the latest market color in respect to the current VIX spike and its historic significance. Furthermore, we will show readers why UVXY is only a temporary hedge, now set to move lower after the current VIX spike occurrence. First Things First - What Does UVXY Do? Let us start with the ETF objective first: UVXY seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to one and one-half times (1.5x) the daily performance of the S&P 500 ® VIX Short-Term Futures Index. One can find the full definition and methodology for the index here , but let us take the most important aspect: The S&P 500® VIX Short-Term Futures Index utilizes prices of the next two near-term VIX® futures contracts to replicate a position that rolls the nearest month VIX futures to the next month on a daily basis in equal fractional amounts. This results in a constant one-month rolling long position in first and second month VIX futures contracts. Accordingly, UVXY holds positions in the first two VIX futures contracts: Holdings (Fund website) We can see the ETF having April 2026 VIX futures and March 2026 VIX futures. As we move along in time, the name will sell the March futures and start buying May 2026 ones. Unlike the actual VIX index, which cannot be traded directly (i.e., bought or sold), futures on the index allow market participants to speculate where the index will settle in a future month. To note that VIX futures are less vo...

American Airlines Group (NASDAQ:AAL), closed at $11.44, up 2.33% today, erasing some of the month’s losses as oil prices moved lower. The stock moved as markets reacted to a potential end to the conflict in Iran. Trading volume reached 152.4 million shares, coming in about 156% above its three-month average of 59.4 million shares. American Airlines Group IPO'd in 2005 and has fallen 45% since going public. How the markets moved today The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) gained 0.83% to finish Monday at 6,796, while the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) advanced 1.38% to close at 22,696. Among airlines, industry peers Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) closed at $60.58 (+2.66%) and United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAL) finished at $94.52 (+2.66%) as investors weighed a reports that the war in Iran would end sooner than expected. What this means for investors American Airlines has fallen by 24% in the past month as conflict in the Middle East pushed oil prices above $100 per barrel and threatened transport routes. Last week, Rothschild & Co Redburn downgraded the stock due to jet fuel risks. The firm is not alone, the war in Iran created significant headwinds for the whole industry. American Airlines changed direction in the final hours of trading today after President Trump said the conflict could be over sooner than expected. Investors will be watching for further details to assess what may now unfold as well as the wider impact on the industry. Executives will present at the 2026 J.P. Morgan Industrials Conference later this month. Should you buy stock in American Airlines Group right now?

Just_Super/iStock via Getty Images The price of oil has surged amid the escalating conflict in the Middle East. Hussein Allidina, Managing Director and Head of Commodities at TD Asset Management, discusses the impact of supply disruptions and how investors should be thinking about energy exposure right now. Transcript Greg Bonnell: Oil prices have surged past $100 a barrel mark as the escalating conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran raises concern about global supply. For a closer look at the outlook for oil prices and what it means for investors, we're joined by Hussein Allidina of TD Asset Management. Hussein, thanks for taking the time. These are busy times for you. Let's start with this latest movement in oil. What are your initial thoughts? Hussein Allidina: Yeah, so the market is, I think, trying to determine how much production is lost. Prices are moving higher. The backwardation in the curve-- not to get too technical, but the backwardation in the curve is more pronounced than I've ever seen before. And that highlights the scarcity premium associated with the oil market right now. You've seen a tremendous amount of production shut in the inability of tankers to traverse the Straits of Hormuz. This is 20 million barrels a day. It's the largest supply side disruption we've ever seen in the history of oil. And the market is trying to ration demand. As production is unable to get through the Straits, you're seeing countries like Iraq, like Kuwait, this morning, Saudi has announced that they're also curtailing production. As storage gets full, you have to pull back production. So I think the market is really trying to figure out how long this goes on for, how meaningful the disruption is, and ultimately how high the price has to go to account for the scarcity. Greg Bonnell: Let's talk about the fact that obviously prices, the new ritual, for me, at least for the past couple of weekends, and you're even more connected to it, is 6:00 PM Eastern time on a Sunday...

Chaos reigned at airports across the country last weekend, with thousands of travelers reportedly waiting in hours-long security lines thanks to staffing shortages. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and Coast Guard workers have turned to food banks for assistance after weeks without pay. But amid a partial government shutdown aimed at curtailing the Department of Homeland Security’s mass arrests and deportations, federal agents have continued their anti-immigrant crackdown unabated — and for now, there’s not much anyone can do. DHS has gone without funding for four weeks in a standoff over immigration enforcement. Congressional Democrats say the lapse will continue until the White House agrees to a number of changes at ICE and CBP. But while major parts of DHS are affected, ICE and CBP still have plenty of money at their disposal. Trump’s signature One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), which passed by the narrowest of margins last fall despite universal Democratic opposition, gave the agencies a combined $170 billion to put towards immigration enforcement through 2029. Much of this money went to ICE, which received $45 billion toward the construction of new detention centers and $30 billion to hire and train personnel. The appropriations currently under debate would give ICE additional funding on top of this $75 billion. This kind of multi-year funding is unusual, and it’s insulated the agencies from political pressure. Democrats are demanding a series of compromises to re-fund DHS for this fiscal year. They have called for “targeted enforcement” rather than roving patrols, an end to racial profiling, a “reasonable use of force policy,” and expanded training for officers. Democratic lawmakers, who have compared ICE and CBP’s plainclothes officers to a “paramilitary police,” want DHS to prohibit masks and standardize uniforms for agents in the field. They’ve also requested that officers wear body cameras, as well as IDs displaying their agency, last name, an...

adventtr/E+ via Getty Images Hims & Hers ( HIMS ) shares surged as much as 55% in pre-market trading on Monday morning after news that the company is creeping back into bed with Novo Nordisk ( NVO ). The excitement has calmed slightly, with the stock now up almost 40% at ~$22 per share. We called sell on Hims on the thesis that the stock is a $20s stock without GLP-1 and subsequently upgraded on greenshoots from personalized plans and active discussions with Novo. The stock fell another 46% after that. Now, we’re back to reassess Hims stock in the presence of both GLP-1 and Novo and maintaining our buy-rating. YahooFinanceXSeekingAlpha Let’s get the facts out of the way - Novo has dropped its lawsuit over the sale of Ozempic and Wegovy knock-offs, and the two companies have now arrived at a deal to allow Hims & Hers to sell the cornerstone weight-loss drugs at a unified price with other platforms. This is a big deal for a couple of reasons: The first is that this is a public makeup after the two reached a deal to sell Wegovy mid-last year, only for the deal to collapse amid accusations of deceptive marketing. This was a huge drama and dragged down Hims' stock by about 35%, along with the company's hopes of recovering momentum on what is, to us, the most important metric for the telehealth company: average revenue per subscriber. So, this is a messy break-up reversed. Worth adding to this story is that part of why Novo has reversed course after taking a public stance against Hims has everything, in our opinion, to do with its facing heavier competition from Eli Lilly. About two weeks ago, Novo stock sank as much as 16% after its next-gen drug, CagriSema, didn’t meet its primary endpoint goals compared to Eli Lily’s rival drug, Trizepatide, after 84 weeks. So, this time around, it looks like Novo needs Hims, and Hims very clearly needs Novo, considering the stock is still down about 66% since its 1H25 highs, i.e., before the Novo deal fell apart.

(RTTNews) - Shell Plc [SHEL] has agreed to sell its Jiffy Lube business to an affiliate of Monomoy Capital Partners for $1.3 billion. The transaction will be carried out through Pennzoil Quaker State Company, which operates Shell's lubricants business in the United States. The deal includes Jiffy Lube International and its subsidiary Premium Velocity Auto, covering more than 2,000 franchise and company-operated service centers across the U.S., along with licensed locations in Canada. Shell will retain ownership of its major lubricant brands, including Pennzoil, Quaker State and Rotella, as well as its manufacturing, marketing and distribution operations serving consumer, commercial and industrial customers in the U.S. and Canada. As part of the agreement, Shell's Pennzoil Quaker State unit will also sign long-term lubricants supply deal with Monomoy. The company said the divestment allows it to monetize a non-core asset while focusing on higher-return opportunities within its lubricant's portfolio. Jiffy Lube has been part of Shell's lubricants division for more than two decades and represents roughly 6.5 percent of Shell's lubricants volume in the U.S. and Canada. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

New South Wales police have offered a $250,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of Julian Ingram, the suspected triple murderer accused of fatally shooting his pregnant former partner, her boyfriend and her aunt in Lake Cargelligo in January. Officials have searched for Ingram, also known as Julian Pierpoint, 37, since 22 January. He was last seen driving a Ford Ranger ute with council signage. Ingram is accused of murdering Sophie Quinn, 25, and her unborn child; John Harris, 32; and Nerida Quinn, 50. A 19-year-old man was also allegedly serious injured in the attack. Sign up: AU Breaking News email Police said multiple teams, including search and rescue and tactical operations, had been searching the Lake Cargelligo area for nearly two months to no avail. The reward reflects the need for broader community support to help find the man, officials said. “This was a shocking and brutal act of violence that has left families grieving and a community deeply shaken,” Yasmin Catley, the NSW minister for police, said in a statement. “The NSW police force will not stop working to locate Julian Ingram, and this $250,000 reward is about encouraging anyone with information to come forward. “If you know anything about his whereabouts, now is the time to speak up. Even the smallest piece of information could help police find him and ensure those responsible for this horrific crime face justice.” Paul Pisanos, the NSW police deputy commissioner for regional field operations, said the reward was about “bringing a resolution to the families and all those affected”. Police have faced scrutiny over a decision to grant Ingram bail for allegedly assaulting Sophie Quinn two months before the alleged murder. Ingram pleaded guilty to two domestic violence-related offences over threats made against another woman in 2016, according to court documents obtained by Guardian Australia. A month later, he breached the AVO granted to protect that woman and was charged with an additi...

Fernando Genzor/iStock via Getty Images Investment Thesis Vicor Corp ( VICR ) makes advanced power modules and converters that are increasingly used in data centers, giving it exposure to the AI infrastructure buildout. I believe that the recent pullbacks offer an attractive opportunity to gain exposure to the company's growth story. Strong Results, Stronger Stock. Vicor recently released Q4 and full-year 2025 results, showing a decent revenue growth rate of 13.5%. Q4'25 sales were up 11.4%. Shares were up as high as 90% YTD before paring down in the aftermath of the US/Iran conflict, and the renewed fears over AI chip export restrictions, a headwind that weighed down on the semiconductor sector broadly. Data by YCharts The discrepancy between the revenue growth and the share price performance isn't lost on me. Even with VICR shares paring some of its gains, it is still up ~50% YTD. Market Position Change? The question that comes to mind is whether VICR's stock rally is overdone. I think it's not. The company enjoys multiple catalysts, which we'll discuss in a second. Equally important, its revenue and earnings growth momentum have only started. I see this as a story of a potential market position shift from a small, commodity electronics supplier to a niche market leader. VICR is not fully there yet, but it could be. Once a small or mid-sized company starts enforcing its patents on larger tech behemoths, it is always wise to pay attention. The first catalyst is a change in the revenue mix towards high-margin royalties and licensing revenue. Last year, the International Trade Commission ruled that multiple electronics contract manufacturers are infringing on VICR's patents. These include heavyweights such as Foxconn Industrial Internet "FII USA" and Ingrasys Technology, both part of Foxconn ( FXCOF ), among others, including Quanta Computer ( QUCCF ) and Delta Electronics ( DLEGF ). The case had serious implications for VICR's market position. First, the company rec...

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), designs GPUs and AI hardware for gaming and data centers. The stock closed Monday at $182.65, up 2.68%. Investors focused on anticipated artificial intelligence hardware announcements at the upcoming GTC 2026 conference and are watching how new products could influence long-term AI demand. The company’s trading volume reached 174.1 million shares, which is roughly 1.4% below compared with its three-month average of 176.6 million shares. Nvidia went public in 1999 and has grown 445204% since its IPO. How the markets moved today S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) added 0.83% to finish Monday at 6,795.99, while the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) climbed 1.38% to close at 22,695.95. Within semiconductors, industry peers Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) closed at $202.68 (+5.33%) and Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) finished at $45.58 (+4.97%), underscoring ongoing enthusiasm for AI-related chip demand. What this means for investors Nvidia shares rose Monday as investors positioned ahead of the company’s GTC conference, which often introduces new AI hardware and shapes expectations for future data-center accelerator demand. Anticipation of announcements draws interest from developers and cloud providers, making the conference a central indicator of the pace of AI infrastructure spending. Nvidia’s Rubin platform, expected in the second half of 2026, marks the next phase in its AI accelerator architecture and could boost the company’s lead in high-performance computing. Nvidia’s multiyear optics partnership with Lumentum, which includes a multibillion-dollar purchase commitment and a $2 billion investment, is designed to secure high-bandwidth interconnects for next-generation AI data centers. Investors will watch GTC announcements for updates on new accelerator timelines and hyperscale customers’ AI infrastructure spending plans. Should you buy stock in Nvidia right now?
