During Donald Trump's first term in office (Jan. 20, 2017 – Jan. 20, 2021), he oversaw some of the highest annualized stock market returns of any president since the late 1890s. When his term concluded, the ageless Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI) , broad-based S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) , and tech-dependent Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) gained 57%, 70%, and 142%, respectively...
During Donald Trump's first term in office (Jan. 20, 2017 – Jan. 20, 2021), he oversaw some of the highest annualized stock market returns of any president since the late 1890s. When his term concluded, the ageless Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI) , broad-based S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) , and tech-dependent Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) gained 57%, 70%, and 142%, respectively. However, President Trump's tenure hasn't been without several bouts of historic volatility (e.g., the five-week COVID-19 crash in February-March 2020 and the one-week tariff tantrum in early April 2025). The latest episode of heightened volatility, caused by the Iran war, sent both the Dow and Nasdaq Composite into correction territory (as of the closing bell on March 27), with the S&P 500 enduring a meaningful pullback. The widespread belief among investors is that a quick end to the Iran war will stem near-term uncertainty and lead to a "Trump bump" for equities. While this thesis makes sense on paper, it ignores the bigger picture and is likely to leave investors sorely disappointed. Continue reading
Nike (NYSE: NKE) stock has fallen about 70% from its peak over the past few years. Some of the damage has been self-inflicted, and softer consumer spending hasn't helped. Sales have remained under pressure, weighing on the shares. But one brand's stumble shouldn't scare investors away from the entire retail and apparel space.

Nike (NYSE: NKE) stock has fallen about 70% from its peak over the past few years. Some of the damage has been self-inflicted, and softer consumer spending hasn't helped. Sales have remained under pressure, weighing on the shares. But one brand's stumble shouldn't scare investors away from the entire retail and apparel space. Plenty of companies are dealing with the same macro headwinds and still posting relatively strong financial results. The key is to focus on businesses that are benefiting from multiple growth engines, premium brand pricing power, or earlier-stage growth runways. Using that criteria, here are three retail growth stocks I'd buy and hold for the long term. Continue reading
Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has traded sideways for the last six months despite strong financial results and encouraging spending projections from hyperscalers like Alphabet , Amazon , Meta Platforms , and Microsoft .

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has traded sideways for the last six months despite strong financial results and encouraging spending projections from hyperscalers like Alphabet , Amazon , Meta Platforms , and Microsoft . What's keeping the stock down? Investors are worried that artificial intelligence (AI) spending is unsustainable. Additionally, the Iran conflict has pushed oil prices to a multiyear high, making interest rate cuts less likely. Investors tend to rotate away from growth stocks when borrowing costs are high. Nevertheless, Wall Street thinks Nvidia is deeply undervalued. Among 70 analysts, the stock has a median target price of $265 per share, according to The Wall Street Journal . That implies 50% upside from the current share price of $177. But I think that estimate is a little low. Continue reading

Unlike Trump’s cronies in the White House, outside voices are not so easily disciplined. There’s a lesson here for all future political movements If you spend enough time swiping online, you may have seen skits by the American comedian and influencer Druski (real name Drew Desbordes), in which he parodies everything from Republican patriots to flashy mega churches . Once again, he has exploded on social media channels with a skit satirising “ conservative women in America ”, a nakedly targeted roast of Erika Kirk, now the CEO of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) after her husband, Charlie Kirk, was assassinated last year. Predictably, it has drawn conservative backlash , with Ted Cruz calling the video “ beneath contempt ”. But Desbordes is far from the only one mocking Erika Kirk. Her entrances to the Charlie Kirk memorial and TPUSA’s AmericaFest have been widely memed online for their surreal, WrestleMania-like production and pyrotechnics. In fact, much of the opprobrium comes from her own side. Far-right live streamer Nick Fuentes has disparaged Kirk’s public appearances after her husband’s death (“ she looks like she’s over the moon ”), and commentator and conspiracy theorist Candace Owens, a former darling of TPUSA, repeatedly takes aim at her (Owens describes Druski’s skit as “hilarious”). Jason Okundaye is an assistant Opinion editor at the Guardian Continue reading...
The Blue singer thinks Aqua deserve respect and his mum once did karaoke with a legend. But what record did he buy to please his nan - with mixed results? The song I inexplicably know all the lyrics to Can’t Help Falling in Love by Elvis – the song I sent off on tape as my audition to Blue. The song I do at karaoke I had my 30th birthday party in a karaoke bar above a Chinese restaurant. My mum wa...
The Blue singer thinks Aqua deserve respect and his mum once did karaoke with a legend. But what record did he buy to please his nan - with mixed results? The song I inexplicably know all the lyrics to Can’t Help Falling in Love by Elvis – the song I sent off on tape as my audition to Blue. The song I do at karaoke I had my 30th birthday party in a karaoke bar above a Chinese restaurant. My mum was doing It’s Raining Men by Geri Halliwell, just as Geri herself walked in, so she grabbed her, brought her on stage, and went: “Sing. It’s your song.” I thought: “Mum. She’s just arrived. Chill out!” Continue reading...

When the American sitcom Growing Pains was first broadcast in China in the 1990s, it was the first window for many in the country into American middle-class life. In the series, a doctor father, a journalist mother and four children live in a spacious suburban home with room for mistakes and second chances.

When the American sitcom Growing Pains was first broadcast in China in the 1990s, it was the first window for many in the country into American middle-class life. In the series, a doctor father, a journalist mother and four children live in a spacious suburban home with room for mistakes and second chances. While the show lightly touched on serious social issues, it projected a picture of health, stability and security. However, Chinese viewers have had a chance to rethink the show since state...
A proposed cap on the ground rents paid by leasehold homeowners in England and Wales is seen as favouring foreign property investors, including those from Hong Kong and mainland China, but another measure tightening rules in setting rents is dampening demand ahead of its implementation, according to analysts.
