The Ecovacs Deebot X8 Pro Omni offer a range of smarts for a relatively affordable price. | Image: Ecovacs If you like the idea of spring cleaning but not the part where you actually have to clean, both the Ecovacs Deebot X8 Pro Omni and newer X9 Pro Omni have dropped to their lowest prices to date ahead of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale , which officially kicks off on March 25th. The X8 Pro Omni is available for $599 ($501 off) from Amazon , Best Buy , and Ecovacs , while the X9 Pro Omni is on sale for $679 ($621 off) at the same retailers ( Amazon , Best Buy , Ecovacs ). Deebot X8 Pro Omni Where to Buy: $1099.99 $599 at Amazon $1099.99 $599 at Ecovacs $1099.99 $599 at Best Buy Ecovacs Deebot X9 Pro Omni Where to Buy: $1299.99 $679 at Amazon $1299.99 $679 at Ecovacs $1299.99 $679 at Best Buy Both robot vacuums are packed with smart features designed to reduce the time you spend cleaning. Using lidar and a 3D camera for mapping, they can deftly navigate around furniture and baseboards, and even identify and avoid potential obstacles. The roller mop on both models also cleans itself while it works, and each robovac comes with a multifunction dock with a built-in water tank, allowing them to refill themselves and move dirty water into a separate waste tank. You can also use either the companion app or voice commands to control them thanks to their support for Matter, which lets you connect them to platforms like Alexa and Google Home. Both models are excellent cleaning devices, too, and each uses an extendable roller mop that can apply up to 4,000Pa of pressure and reach hard-to-clean areas (including corners). The biggest differences between the two models come down to how they handle suction and airflow while vacuuming. For instance, the last-gen X8 Pro Omni offers slightly more powerful suction at 18,000Pa, compared to 16,600Pa on the X9. The X9 Pro Omni, meanwhile, leverages Ecovacs’ Boosted Large-Airflow Suction Technology, which moves more air through the vacuum, all...

triloks/iStock via Getty Images By Geoff Bysshe Markets tend to focus on one big idea at a time, and right now, there's no question what that idea is and should be - the war with Iran, because... Bull markets and strong economies are killed by “shocks.” The difference between a problem and a shock can be measured in time and magnitude. I don’t think many investors would debate that the magnitude of the war with Iran qualifies as a shock. Now the question is, “How big will the shock be?” For the bulls looking for a resumption of the bull market... Time is running out. War is raging in Europe and the Middle East.Global trade is choking.The American consumer’s buying power is eroding daily as oil prices skyrocket.The mid-term elections are getting closer. Any of the above could change the outlook for stocks. 2025 enjoyed a bull market and an incredibly positive outlook, in which the focus was on the AI boom being so big that it was creating fears of a bubble. The growth opportunities were so strong that it was creating problems for energy costs and job displacement. I’m optimistic that the AI revolution, space industry, blockchain tech, dramatic advances in medicine and healthcare, and more will provide the foundation for the growth stories that will power the economy and bull market higher, but time is running out for it to continue on the trajectory it had in 2025. Bull markets are patient, and they “climb the wall of worry” until they give up. That process of giving up is slow, and then all of a sudden. Two Big Factors To Watch 1) Short Term: Oil’s Influence As you can see in the table below, the oil markets are now the tail wagging the dog. The table's last column shows the daily correlation of each index and sector to USO (oil ETF) over the last year. The second-to-last column shows the correlation since the war began.

Key Points AMD's stock trades at around 75 times its trailing earnings. The company is coming off a good quarter, but it is expecting its growth rate to slow down. 10 stocks we like better than Advanced Micro Devices › Buying shares of a top artificial intelligence (AI) chipmaker can be a potentially great move to make for the long term. Investments in AI are growing, and tech giants are likely going to continue to need tons of chips as they develop next-gen products and services. One stock that surged last year amid its growth potential was Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD). It rose by more than 77%. This year, however, it has been declining by 7%, as there's been some bearishness around AI of late. Could this be a good time to buy AMD's stock on the dip, or should you hold off and wait for an even bigger decline? 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 » AMD's results have been strong, but not overly impressive AMD reported earnings last month, which proved to be underwhelming despite the seemingly strong growth numbers. The company's sales for the fourth quarter, which ended in December, beat expectations easily, with revenue of $10.3 billion coming in better than expected ($9.7 billion). However, the company's results got an unexpected boost from shipments to China, which was a surprise to analysts. Meanwhile, the company's guidance for the current quarter also implies a growth rate of around 32%, which is a slowdown from the 34% growth it achieved in Q4. While these results are strong, they weren't enough to send the stock soaring. That's because for AMD's stock to continue to be a hot buy, its growth rate needs to be fairly high, given how expensive it has become. Currently, it trades at more than 75 times its trailing earnings. Based on analyst estimates, it trades at a lighter for...

Jensen Huang walked onto the SAP Center stage on Monday for his GTC keynote address and did what he does best: turning a product keynote into a zoning hearing for the future. The Nvidia $NVDA founder opened GTC by promising a tour through “every single layer” of AI, then spent the next stretch arguing that the company isn’t just selling chips into a hot market. Nope. The company wants to define the whole physical plant of the AI economy: the compute, the networking, the storage, the software, the models, the factories, and — because subtlety is clearly out of season — maybe even the orbital data centers. The keynote sprayed announcements in every direction, but the real message was tighter than the confetti cannon made it look. Huang wanted investors, customers, and rivals to hear four things clearly: AI demand is still climbing fast enough to justify indecent amounts of spending; inference is now the center of the battlefield; agents are supposed to spill out of chatbots and into the daily machinery of office work; and the next gold rush after digital AI could be physical AI, where robots, autonomous systems and industrial software burn through even more data and infrastructure. Well, that’s a big number Huang’s biggest flex was numerical. He marked the 20th anniversary of CUDA, called it the flywheel behind accelerated computing, said computing demand has risen “1 million times over the last few years,” and then raised the stakes by saying he now sees at least $1 trillion in revenue opportunity from 2025 through 2027. That was the keynote’s organizing principle: a public insistence that the AI buildout is still early, still broadening, and still large enough to make today’s spending look, in Nvidia ’s telling, like down payment money. That number also did some quiet cleanup work. Nvidia has spent months fielding the usual questions that arrive whenever a company becomes the main cashier at a capital-spending frenzy: How long can this last, what happens when hypers...

EschCollection/DigitalVision via Getty Images Since last writing about Douglas Elliman Inc. ( DOUG ) last fall, the situation with the luxury real estate brokerage firm has changed considerably. In some ways, for the better, and in others, for the worse. That is, following an asset sale last year, the company has had the means to rid itself of a key overhang for shares, but this move alone doesn't fully pave the way to higher prices. At least, it hadn't yet, and in fact other continued issues with DOUG have, as seen after the company's latest earnings release, had an extremely negative impact on shares. Management may remain confident that its "go it alone" is its only viable path forward, but a further exploration of strategic alternatives may be a better option for this company and its shareholders. Douglas Elliman: Recap and Recent Developments Back when I wrote my last DOUG write-up, takeover potential was still a major factor in the overall story with this stock. Even as the potential for Anywhere Real Estate to buy Douglas Elliman had faded considerably, I argued that several financial and strategic buyers would also be interested in acquiring the company. Moreover, I argued that, in lieu of getting acquired, DOUG could benefit from a standalone turnaround under CEO Michael Liebowitz. At the time, the new CEO was moving from aggressive cost cutting to diversification as a means of improving the company's fiscal performance. Flash forward to now, and there are today slight tweaks to the overall bull case for Douglas Elliman. For one, diversification may be on the menu, but it no longer extends to property management. Back in October, the company sold its Douglas Elliman Property Management division for $85 million . Following the sale, the company used these proceeds, plus additional cash on hand, to redeem the company's outstanding convertible notes. DOUG previously sold convertible notes to a private buyer, Kennedy Lewis Asset Management, in exchange for a $5...

Benjamin Fanjoy/Getty Images News Nvidia ( NVDA ) has joined forces with the creator of OpenClaw to create Nvidia's NemoClaw, which combines the ease of OpenClaw's ability to build agents with Nvidia's privacy and security controls needed to run these agents within an enterprise. "OpenClaw is the most popular open-source project in the history of humanity, and it did so in just a few weeks," said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang during his keynote at GTC on Monday. OpenClaw, created by Peter Steinberger, is an open-source, self-hosted autonomous AI agent. It was originally released as Clawdbot in November 2025. Due to trademark issues with Anthropic ( ANTHRO ), it was changed to Moltbot in January but now goes by the name OpenClaw. Huang compares its importance to that of HTML and Linux. "It can manage LLMs, decompose a problem step-by-step, and it can step off and work with other agents," Huang said. "It has interoperability. You can say it is an operating system. OpenClaw has open-sourced the creation of personal agents. The implications are incredible." "Every company in the world today needs an OpenClaw strategy," he added. "Every SaaS company will become an agentic company. There is just one catch. Agentic systems within a corporation can access sensitive information and communicate externally. This, obviously, can't be allowed. So we worked with OpenClaw to make it enterprise-ready… This can now connect to the policy systems of all SaaS companies." NemoClaw combines the abilities of OpenClaw with Nvidia's Nemotron AI models. "OpenClaw is the operating system for personal AI," Huang said. "This is the moment the industry has been waiting for—the beginning of a new renaissance in software." "OpenClaw brings people closer to AI and helps create a world where everyone has their own agents," said Steinberger. "With NVIDIA and the broader ecosystem, we’re building the claws and guardrails that let anyone create powerful, secure AI assistants." "Today we are announcing the Ne...
