ncognet0/E+ via Getty Images I've been increasing my coverage of fertilizer-oriented companies. The reason for it is quite simple - I'm generally bullish on the need for fertilizers and how these impact farmers and their profit. Ergo, it makes sense to invest in cheap and attractive, well-managed companies with an upside. Such fertilizer companies come in all shapes and sizes. One of my favorite ones is Yara ( YARIY ), which focuses on nitrogen and nitrate fertilizers, ammonia, and industrial solutions. But I also look at companies that focus on Potash. In this article, I'll give you a basic overview of what in "the business" is known as the Big Three. I'll let you know what companies I like and cover (aside from Yara, obviously), and I'll be looking at the very least two new companies in this sector. The first one is Intrepid Potash, Inc. ( IPI ). It's a company I've had on my radar for some time - since doing research on the Ukrainian war's impact on fertilizer (given Russia/Belarus' role in the potash supply) and since covering FMC Corporation ( FMC ), one of my later coverages, which I went in at a neutral/not bullish rating. This will be my first article on Intrepid Potash - the name says it all with regard to what the company does. I think this company is crucial for what it does, in the area where it does it, and in this article, I'll be sure to show you the reason for it. While the USA can obviously, like any nation, import potash, importing fertilizer is always tricky. Why is that tricky? It's the classic dilemma - risk or reward. When you look at the scenario on paper, importing something like Potash (which can be made relatively simply with wood ash, water, and some time) might seem like a great idea. The problem is the quantities you need it in. Industrial production of potash is usually related to something entirely different than nitrogen fertilizer. While the latter is correlated to natgas prices, the former can't exist without specific geological req...

Or, you could invest in a company that does it all with Alphabet (GOOG 1.68%)(GOOGL 1.66%), the parent company of Google. While I'm bullish on several AI companies, Alphabet is the one I'd choose if I were putting $5,000 into one stock. A full-stack AI approach Alphabet is a rarity in the tech world, as it controls its entire AI stack. It has its own AI data centers and is in the expansion process, with projected capital expenditures of $175 billion to $185 billion in 2026. The company develops Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), custom AI accelerator chips that Google has been using since 2015. It has its own AI model, Gemini, and easy distribution of AI tools through Google's existing businesses. This full-stack approach arguably puts Alphabet in the best position among AI companies. It can better control costs, avoid dependence on other companies, and optimize its TPUs for the Gemini model. This approach has allowed Alphabet to improve efficiency while scaling up. Case in point, it lowered Gemini serving costs by 78% in 2025. Impressive growth Alphabet is also coming off a very successful 2025. Revenue was up 15% year-over-year to $402.8 billion, which is a good increase for a company that's already a tech giant. Google Cloud outperformed, with revenue from that segment jumping 34% to $58.7 billion. Google Cloud also has a $240 billion revenue backlog, indicating that there's strong demand for Google's enterprise AI infrastructure. On the consumer side, Gemini 3 is a significant step forward that puts Google's AI assistant on par with OpenAI's ChatGPT and Anthropic's Claude. Alphabet CEO ...

Iran’s new supreme leader on Thursday rejected US threats of a widening war and its calls for his nation’s “unconditional surrender.” Instead, Mojtaba Khamenei doubled down on the Islamic Republic’s retaliation campaign against American allies around the Gulf and pledged to keep the Strait of Hormuz effectively shut. In his first public comments since succeeding his father , who was killed in a targeted strike by the US and Israel at the outset of the war, Khamenei warned that Tehran will look to open other fronts if the US and Israel persist in their bombing campaign. Almost 2,000 people in Iran and Lebanon have been killed since the war began, while dozens across the Persian Gulf also have died. International and US efforts to mollify oil markets continued to fail in the face of the long-feared worst-case scenario. Oil prices rose more than 9% with Brent crude ending the session above $100 for the first time since August 2022. US crude futures also settled at the highest levels in more than three years. Three commercial vessels were struck in the Arabian Gulf over the past 24 hours, and the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz has disrupted millions of barrels a day of supply, causing what the International Energy Agency described as the biggest hit to global production on record. Iran has likely begun laying mines in the Strait, UK Defense Secretary John Healey said, though Iran’s deputy foreign minister reportedly denied it. “Studies have been conducted into opening other fronts where the enemy has little experience and would be highly vulnerable,” Khamenei, a 56-year-old hardline cleric, said in a statement published by Iran state media. “Their activation will take place if the state of war persists.” What You Need to Know Today Deutsche Bank flagged a $30 billion exposure to private credit, an asset class increasingly battered by fund redemptions, scrutiny of underwriting standards and the threat of artificial intelligence on its borrowers.

Oil extended gains from its highest close since August 2022 in one of the most volatile trading weeks ever, with investors bracing for more upheaval as Iran pledged to keep the Strait of Hormuz effectively shut. West Texas Intermediate climbed as much as 2.2% to $97.85 a barrel, with prices on track for another weekly advance. Brent closed above $100 on Thursday. In his first public comments since succeeding his father, Iran’s new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei said the Islamic Republic would seek to ensure the critical waterway for oil and natural gas stays closed. The International Energy Agency warned on Thursday that the current supply disruption is the largest in the history of the global oil market. The statement from Khamenei came as US President Donald Trump said preventing Iran from having nuclear weapons and being a threat to the Middle East is “of far greater interest and importance to me” than the cost of oil. The near-halt to shipping through the strait near Iran and the Arabian Peninsula has choked off shipments of crude , natural gas and products such as diesel to global customers, driving up energy prices. It’s raised fears of an inflation crisis and is starting to hit some economies. WTI has traded in a band of about $43 this week, the widest range since the depths of the pandemic when prices turned negative. Brent has swung in a range of around $38. Wild swings have being exacerbated by financial flows from options markets to exchange-traded funds. To get Bloomberg’s Energy Daily newsletter in your inbox, click here . WTI for April delivery rose 1.5% to $ 97.16 a barrel at 6:05 a.m. in Singapore. Brent for May settlement closed 9.2% higher at $100.46 a barrel on Thursday.

This was a severe case of deja vu for Crystal Palace on their maiden European adventure, although at least this time they managed to avoid defeat. After surprisingly losing 1-0 to Larnaca here 139 days ago in the league stage, Oliver Glasner’s side were again left to rue missed opportunities and a lack of creativity in attack despite the return of Jean-Philippe Mateta as a late substitute. The France striker received a mixed reception after his failed move to Milan in January made him public enemy number one for some Palace fans. But having missed six weeks due to a knee injury that scuppered his transfer to Serie A in January, he could not inspire his side to victory after coming off the bench to replace £48m club record signing Jørgen Strand Larsen. Mateta was booed by some supporters and there were a few more for Glasner and the referee at the final whistle on another frustrating night for the Palace fans. The Austrian will be scratching his head for solutions before next week’s second leg in Cyprus. Perhaps his system will be better suited to playing away but Larnaca will surely see no reason to change their tactics now they have kept Palace at bay for 180 minutes and have an incredible six clean sheets in their seven Conference League matches so far. “I’m not frustrated today – we just didn’t take the chances. We will play the third game against them and it’s time to score,” said the Palace manager. “It’s clear if they concede one in the group stage they won’t concede three or four against us tonight. Maybe we have to wake up to their style a little bit.” Palace had just ended a club record unbeaten run of 19 matches that included their FA Cup final win against Manchester City the last time Larnaca were in south London and there have been plenty of changes at both clubs since then. While Glasner remains manager of Palace – for now – despite a turbulent few months, the Cypriot side appointed Spaniard Javi Rozada to replace his compatriot Imanol Idiakez last week...

Western Leaders Pivot To Blaming "Putin's Hidden Hand" As Iran War Not Going To Plan Western intelligence officials believe Russia's role in supporting Iran amid the US-Israeli military campaign is deepening , alongside potential expanding involvement by China . Bloomberg, citing officials, writes in a fresh Thursday report : "Moscow is currently providing Iran with various forms of intelligence, including satellite imagery and drone targeting tactics , in an effort to help Iran hit back at US forces in the region , according to people familiar with US and Western intelligence." Iran Ministry of Defense/WANA Within the first week of Trump's Operation Epic Fury it was widely alleged that Russia was giving Iran targeting information concerning US bases and assets in the region. While there's nothing in the way of smoking gun proof, all are in agreement that American bases have been hit hard , with US installations as far away as Jordan having suffered severe missile impact damage . Western political leaders are now seizing on these allegations, to do more 'Putin is a global menace' hype. As a case in point : “No one will be surprised to believe that Putin’s hidden hand is behind some of the Iranian tactics and potentially some of their capabilities as well,” UK Defence Secretary John Healey said at a military briefing in London on Thursday. “Patterns of Iranian attack have the hallmarks of the way Russia is attacking Ukraine,” he said, adding that was to be expected “knowing how closely that alliance of aggression has been growing over the last few years.” And they are also quickly saying the same of the 'China menace' - according to more from Bloomberg: Following an intelligence briefing on Iran earlier this week, Senator Richard Blumenthal, Democrat of Connecticut, said Russia seems to be aiding Tehran “actively and intensively, with intelligence and perhaps with other means” and added that “China may also be assisting Iran.” Trump's Iran gambit is certainly not goi...

March 12 (Reuters) - Medical device maker Stryker said on Thursday a cyberattack that hit its computer systems a day earlier is causing widespread disruption to its business, including its ability to process orders, make products and ship them to customers. An Iranian-linked hacking group called Handala claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was in retaliation to a strike on a girls' school in Minab, southern Iran. The school was hit on the first day of U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran, killing an estimated 150 students, according to Iran's ambassador to the U.N. in Geneva, Ali Bahreini. Reuters has not independently verified the figure. Stryker first disclosed the issue on March 11, saying it had experienced a global disruption to its Microsoft environment. The incident has not affected any patient-related services and its connected medical products, the company said, even though the full scale and financial impact are not yet known. The company, which has 56,000 employees and operations in 61 countries, said its investigation is ongoing. (Reporting by Kamal Choudhury in Bengaluru; Editing by Arun Koyyur)

Now the regulatory tailwinds are in place while Bitcoin remains depressed, creating a healthier setup where price can catch up to improving fundamentals. For the first time in roughly eight years, Bitcoin’s price is lagging behind the regulatory progress and positive industry developments rather than running ahead of them. Kraken is tokenizing NASDAQ stocks starting next year. “These are constructive things that are kind of building use cases,” Arthur said. Trending: Instead of buying someone else's ETF, build an index around your own thesis with Public's AI tools. Get started and see if you qualify for the 1% match. Arthur cited positive regulatory developments including the GENIUS Act last year and the CLARITY Act legislation being pushed through this year. Bitcoin traded at $125,000 five months ago and was down over 50% when the Iran conflict erupted. “I do like the fact that it’s outperformed a lot of other asset classes,” Arthur said. “It’s up 10% off the lows.” This means crypto moves independently from both traditional risk assets and safe havens, supporting the diversification case even during market stress. His research shows Bitcoin, Ethereum , Solana , and XRP have minimal correlation with equities and equally low correlation with gold and silver. “So far in this conflict, actually, if you look at Bitcoin, it’s up a little bit and equities are down,” Hyman said on CNBC’s ‘ETF Edge'.

Investment Case Harvest Canadian High Income Shares ETF - Class A ( HHIC:CA ) currently offers a distribution yield of around 14% , largely attributable to the incremental returns generated by the ETF rather than distributions from NAVs in the form of return of capital. The fund has a commodity-heavy exposure profile owing to its focus on Canadian equities, a market structurally tilted toward energy, mining, and resource businesses. The option overlay further enhances the income profile of the fund. Unlike many single-stock option income ETFs, HHIC writes options partially and at the portfolio level, rather than fully covering individual holdings. As a result, a major limitation of covered-call strategies of severely capped upside is mitigated to a meaningful extent, though not entirely eliminated. HHIC also stands to benefit if the commodity cycle remains favorable or if energy and resource prices experience sharp upward movements. The value-oriented characteristics of many underlying holdings further enhance the attractiveness of the fund for value-focused investors. In this structure, regular distributions combined with potential NAV appreciation tend to benefit income-seeking investors in a dual manner. However, the potential risks shall be kept in mind as well. The same value-oriented and commodity-linked companies may underperform materially if the commodity cycle reverses, which could lead to distribution reductions or NAV erosion. Nevertheless, on a risk-adjusted basis, the fund may still appeal to high-income-seeking investors who are willing to absorb the risk factors inherent in the strategy. Introduction Harvest Canadian High Income Shares ETF ("HHIC:CA") is a recently launched fund that seeks to provide unitholders with monthly cash distributions along with the opportunity for capital appreciation by investing on a leveraged basis. The fund may hold direct positions in a portfolio of Canadian-listed equities or, alternatively, invest in exchange-traded ...
