Midwest Real Estate Group, MRED, said Zillow ( Z )( ZG ) no longer has access to its real estate listing data because it refused to correct a breach of its license agreement with MRED, the multiple listings service said Wednesday. MRED listings is cutting Zillow off from its 43,000 Chicago listings because Zillow refused to display nine Compass ( COMP ) listings in other states that didn't meet Zillow's standards, the company said. MRED claims that Zillow chose not to display the MRED listings " because it demands the right, and has filed a federal antitrust lawsuit to secure that right – to exclude nine listings it disfavors." Meanwhile, Zillow ( Z ) said MRED had rewritten its rules "block Zillow’s standards, which Zillow had been enforcing nationally for nearly a year. That notice wasn’t a good-faith warning. It was a threat." The dispute centers on nine listings in the Compass Private Exclusive listings in California, Florida, and Georgia. Zillow's ( Z ) policy says that any listing that was publicly marketed to some buyers but hidden from others isn’t eligible for display on Zillow later. "What MRED and Compass are demanding is that Zillow be forced to display listings that it doesn’t want to display because they go against Zillow’s belief in an open and transparent housing market," Zillow said on its blog. MRED argues that, "at its core, this dispute is about Zillow attempting to impose its own display rules on listings that are lawfully marketed under MRED policies and at the discretion of sellers and their brokers." About a week ago, Zillow Group ( Z ) ( ZG ) filed a federal antitrust lawsuit against Compass ( COMP ) and MRED, alleging that they colluded to hide home listing from buyers and conspired to punish Zillow. Compass ( COMP ) stock jumped 9.4%, while Zillow ( Z ) stock rose 0.9% in late regular-session trading on Wednesday.

Industry insiders say the next big thing in AI is “proactive” systems: agents that can anticipate a user’s needs — and fulfill them — before the user even knows what those needs are. One startup that’s looking to make headway in this area is IrisGo. The company, which closed a $2.8 million seed round led by Andrew Ng’s AI Fund earlier this year, is building a desktop companion for PCs that can learn about a user’s daily workflows and then automate them with limited to no human prompting. Iris was co-founded by Jeffrey Lai, a former Apple engineer who helped to build the Chinese language version of Siri, the company’s automated assistant. (Somewhat slyly, Iris is Siri spelled backwards.) The core idea is simple: show Iris how to do something once, and it remembers that process for future automated use — no repeat instructions needed. During a conversation with TechCrunch, Lai ran a demo, showing how Iris could learn to place a coffee order online. As I watched, Iris recorded the steps it took to select a latte from Philz Coffee (a popular Bay Area chain), fill out credit card information, and then hit purchase. Lai then asked Iris to repeat the order on its own; the agent dutifully complied. Buying coffee, of course, is not really the point. Instead, the hope is that the system will automate a whole host of business-related tasks. Iris comes with a built-in “skills” library — things like email drafting, invoice processing, report building, document summarization, and many other ready-to-use automated workflows. At the same time, Iris learns from the user’s desktop behavior and automatically adds those tasks to its potential list of action items. The application also includes a coding assistant — similar in concept to OpenAI’s Codex or Anthropic’s Claude Code — designed to assist developers as they go about their work. “Our target audience is knowledge workers — white collar companies. There’s a lot of repetitive tasks that those workers do every day,” Lai said, notin...

It's unfortunate to say that you cannot always just follow my articles on the free site. Due to the amount of coverage that I do, you need to also (if you want to follow my targets) note down the various price targets ("PTs") and FV's (where applicable) that I give a company to act in a way that I, personally, would, if you are so inclined. Nagarro SE ( NGRRF ) is a perfect example of this. I gave the company a Buy in my last article, but this one was close to 8 months ago at this point. The company had a massive bounce in 2025-2026, which caused me to rotate my entire position at a bit of a profit because I saw this gain as unlikely to persist. This went entirely in line with my view of the company as somewhat speculative, in the article that you can find here . The core that you must consider here is that I gave the company a target of €65/share. That meant in turn that I set an alert at €65 and also one at €70/share. The company not only broke €65 and €70/share, it broke €80, which is where I sold the last of my shares on the 12th of December in accordance with alerts. Due to the volume of companies that I cover, I do try to keep up with everything, but Nagarro was never the largest nor the most significant position in my portfolio. And because it fell right back down again, to levels where it now trades below my previous entry , it followed my expected trajectory. Nagarro Native share price development Google Finance There are, of course, ways for you to get more current commentary on a company I cover. But as things are here, what I will do is update on a company that fulfilled my investment and fair value PT and then declined back down. This means, unless the company has somehow changed, my ratings will actually be the same. It also means that if you're waiting for my updates, you may be in a position where you actually "kept" this company during the entire cycle (which I hope not). But it shows the importance of making your decisions actively. Passive managem...

CoreDesignKEY Traders on prediction market Kalshi sharply increased the odds that OpenAI ( OPENAI ) will reach the public markets before rival Anthropic ( ANTHRO ), following a report from The Wall Street Journal indicating that OpenAI could file for an initial public offering within days or weeks. The market reaction was swift, with Kalshi traders pricing an 85% probability that OpenAI will debut on the stock market ahead of Anthropic. In comparison, contracts tied to Anthropic going public first were trading around 22%, reflecting significantly lower expectations for the Amazon- and Google-backed artificial intelligence firm. The sharp divergence highlights growing investor confidence that OpenAI may be accelerating plans to capitalize on surging demand for generative AI technologies and strong investor appetite for high-profile technology listings. OpenAI has emerged as one of the most closely watched private companies in Silicon Valley following the explosive adoption of ChatGPT and its expanding partnerships across enterprise and consumer markets. Anthropic, meanwhile, remains a major competitor in the AI race, though prediction market traders appear less convinced it will pursue a near-term IPO timeline.
