"Greystone Housing Impact Investors announced a strategic shift to focus on core investments that provide greater earnings stability and generate tax-exempt income for investors.

April WTI crude oil (CLJ26) today is up +1.26 (+1.31%), and April RBOB gasoline (RBJ26) is up +0.0862 (+2.76%). Crude oil and gasoline prices are sharply higher today as the Iran war drags on, with the Strait of Hormuz closed and Iran continuing attacks on the energy infrastructure of its Middle Eastern neighbors. Gains in crude oil prices accelerated today on concerns that the war in Iran will escalate further after Axios reported that the US is considering plans to take over Iran’s Kharg Island, Iran’s key oil-export site, to put pressure on Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The Wall Street Journal also reported today that the Pentagon is deploying three warships and thousands of Marines to the Middle East. Don’t Miss a Day: Energy prices remain underpinned after Qatar on Thursday reported “extensive damage” at the world’s largest natural gas export plant at Ras Laffan Industrial City. Qatar said that Iran’s strikes damaged 17% of Ras Laffan’s LNG export capacity, a damage that will take three to five years to repair. Also, Kuwait said today it shut several units at its Al Ahmadi refinery after multiple strikes, and Bahrain reported a fire at a warehouse. Also, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates said they intercepted Iranian missiles and drones today. Crude prices also found support after the crude crack spread on Thursday jumped to a 3.75-year high, encouraging refiners to purchase crude and refine it into gasoline and distillates. The Strait of Hormuz remains essentially closed, and Persian Gulf oil producers have been forced to cut production by roughly 6% as local storage facilities reach capacity. The Strait of Hormuz normally handles a fifth of the world’s oil. Goldman Sachs warns that crude prices could exceed the 2008 record high of close to $150 a barrel if flows through the Strait of Hormuz remain depressed through March. In a bearish factor for crude, OPEC+ on March 1 said it will boost its crude output by 206,000 bpd in April, above estimates...

A tanker carrying a cargo of diesel believed to be bound for Cuba updated its destination to Trinidad and Tobago shortly after the US clarified that the communist-run island remains ineligible to receive Russian fuel. The Sea Horse, likely carrying 200,000 barrels of Russian gas oil, was heading toward its new posted destination on Friday, according to ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg and maritime intelligence firm Kpler Ltd. Last month, the tanker abruptly halted its voyage in the middle of the North Atlantic amid a de facto US fuel blockade of the island. On Thursday, the Treasury Department added Cuba to a list of countries restricted from taking delivery of Russian fuel. The updated general license was issued a week after the US loosened sanctions on Russian oil to ease energy pressures resulting from the war it launched on Iran nearly three weeks ago in concert with its ally Israel. Another tanker, the Anatoly Kolodkin, was still voyaging through the Atlantic toward the port of Matanzas in Cuba, the shipping data show. That vessel will mark another test of US deterrence. When asked to confirm if Russian oil was headed to Cuba on Friday, a Kremlin official declined to comment specifically on fuel shipments. Instead, presidential spokesman Dmitri Peskov told reporters that Moscow was “maintaining permanent contact with the Cuban leadership” and was exploring options to provide aid to Havana amid its troubles, according to Interfax. Cuba’s president acknowledged last week that the island hasn’t received oil in three months as Donald Trump ramps up economic pressure on the island in hopes of ending 67 years of one-party rule. At the start of January, the US cut off Havana’s supply of Venezuelan crude by capturing that country’s leader in Caracas. Then Trump threatened tariffs on any nation that came to Cuba’s energy aid, prompting Mexico to halt shipments as well. Conditions on the island were already bleak after years of tough US sanctions. But now that Tr...

Your fascinating article (Len Deighton, spy novelist and author of The Ipcress File, dies aged 97, 17 March) and obituary (17 March) on Len Deighton refers to the wisecracking dialogue in his famous early thrillers. His descriptions were also often very funny. In Funeral in Berlin, for example, he wrote of Charlotte Street that it “runs north from Oxford Street and there are few who will blame it”. The 1966 paperback edition of the novel begins with a spoof autobiography, in which this working-class author is described as the eldest son of a governor-general of the Windward Islands who has an “uneventful education at Eton and Worcester College, Oxford”. His “likes” are listed as “being under the bonnet of a vintage motorcar, public bars, ballroom dancing and cricket”. It was electrifying to encounter this as a teenage reader in the 1960s. Henry Sherman Teddington, London My brother and I have got into the habit of notifying each by text whenever one of us sees the death notification of someone famous that we share an interest in. So when I saw the article and obituary on Len Deighton, I sent my brother a text, complete with a picture of the cover of The Ipcress File. His reply: “So where’s the funeral going to be, Berlin?” Farewell Len, enjoyed the books, enjoyed the films. Phil Coughlin Houghton-le-Spring, Tyne and Wear

In this article SHOP SHOP-CA ETSY WMT AMZN Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Inkoly | Istock | Getty Images When OpenAI announced its Instant Checkout feature last fall, retailers sprang into action. Etsy , Walmart and Shopify quickly lined up to let users buy merchants' products directly within its ChatGPT chatbot. Suddenly, the e-commerce world was fixated on shopping agents , the artificial intelligence tools that can make purchases on behalf of users. Shopify President Harley Finkelstein called it the "new frontier" for online retail. Several months later, OpenAI and its retail partners have headed back to the drawing board. The AI startup is moving away from Instant Checkout and is now working with retailers to create dedicated apps within ChatGPT. This approach will reroute users to the retailer's own website to complete a purchase, giving those companies more control of the customer experience and the transaction process. "OpenAI underestimated how difficult the enablement of transactions was going to be, which, on the one hand, is a little surprising, but on the other hand, it's not easy for retailers," Bob Hetu, an analyst at Gartner, told CNBC in an interview. An OpenAI spokesperson said it is prioritizing better search and product discovery in the chatbot, two areas where it has seen some early traction in user adoption. "Instant Checkout is moving to Apps, where purchases can happen more seamlessly," an OpenAI spokesperson said in a statement. The Information was first to report OpenAI's pivot. The change in strategy has raised questions about whether tech companies and their retail partners oversold shopping bots' readiness. It also highlights the challenges AI startups can face as they attempt to alter the e-commerce landscape that's dominated by incumbent giants like Amazon . OpenAI, while racing to keep pace with rivals like Google and Anthropic , released a flurry of new offerings and experiences last year in an effort to expand its ma...

gettinthere/iStock via Getty Images Thesis Firefly Aerospace Inc. ( FLY ) is a recently listed space and defense company that mainly works on small rockets for launches and missions to the Moon. The last time I reviewed the stock, I gave it a Hold rating. That’s because, on one hand, the company is winning a good number of contracts (which is positive), but on the other hand, it's spending a lot of cash and it’s still not clear how or when it will become profitable . Today, after reviewing the latest earnings , I’m still not ready to turn bullish given the combination of ongoing losses, heavy spending, and execution risk despite strong growth. Breaking Down Firefly Aerospace’s Q4 2025 Earnings Seeking Alpha Q4 Revenue : $57.7M Q3 Revenue: $30.8M Q4 2024 Revenue: $9.0M. Seeking Alpha FY 2025 Revenue: $159.9M YoY Revenue Growth: +163% Q4 Spacecraft Revenue: $50.0M Q4 Launch Revenue: $7.7M Q4 Gross Margin: 27.7%. Revenue growth was mainly driven by the spacecraft side of the business. This was the result of steady progress and successfully reaching key milestones on the Blue Ghost landers, Elytra orbiters, and the newly added SciTec programs . The launch segment also benefited from Alpha Flight 7 , which is meant to reassure everyone the vital systems are working as Block 2 approaches. Shifting more of the business toward defense and lunar contracts, where revenue's recognized gradually as work is completed (percentage-of-completion accounting) helped stabilize gross margins by ironing out out the inherently lumpy nature of launch events. Q4 GAAP Operating Expenses: $101.6M Q3 GAAP Operating Expenses: $70.7M Q4 2024 GAAP Operating Expenses: $57.1M Q4 Non-GAAP Operating Expenses: $80.5M Q4 GAAP Operating Loss: -$85.6M Q4 Non-GAAP Operating Loss: -$64.5M Q4 GAAP Net Loss: -$41.1M Q4 Non-GAAP Net Loss: -$58.5M Stock-Based Compensation: $12.6M.

In Brief A French Navy officer went for a run on the deck of the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier and uploaded his workout to Strava, inadvertently leaking the location of the nuclear-powered warship as it heads to the Middle East. First reported by French newspaper Le Monde, the story is not an anomaly — this popular fitness tracking app has proven to be a privacy nightmare before. By default, accounts on the social fitness app are set to public, publishing your route any time you log a workout. Strava data has previously been used to locate military bases around the world. In 2024, Le Monde uncovered French President Emmanuel Macron’s whereabouts by searching for the Strava accounts of his bodyguards, who uploaded public workout data while traveling with him. An anonymized graphic from Le Monde showing the run in question Image Credits:Le Monde (opens in a new window) Macron had publicly announced the carrier’s deployment, so its movement through the Mediterranean was already known. But obviously, the French military is still put at serious risk when an officer telegraphs its precise location. A representative for the French Armed Forces told Le Monde that the officer’s behavior “does not comply with current guidelines,” which “sailors are regularly made aware of.” Strava did not respond to TechCrunch’s request for comment before publication, but let this serve as a reminder for all; even if you’re not in the military, it’s probably worth setting your Strava account to private.

Compassionate Eye Foundation/Gary Burchell/DigitalVision via Getty Images Investment Thesis When choosing closed-end funds for portfolios, a lot of investors face a common dilemma: buy the flagship PIMCO Dynamic Income Fund ( PDI ) at a premium, or look for less popular alternatives that are both cheaper and offer higher total returns. PDI is undoubtedly one of the sector’s benchmarks, for which I maintain my "Buy" rating. Nevertheless, the fund’s total return potential is often limited, with current market volatility amplifying sector-specific risks. Given that there's an effective alternative in the form of its "little brother"—the PIMCO Dynamic Income Strategy Fund ( PDX )—the goal of this article is to present arguments demonstrating the advisability of withdrawing a portion of capital from PDI to combine the two aforementioned instruments in a 50/50 ratio. The investment strategy not only neutralizes the "premium tax" but also increases sector diversification whilst maintaining double-digit dividend yields. Fundamental Similarities and Differences Between PDI and PDX Both PDI and PDX are CEFs within the same PIMCO family, making their investment strategies and management styles similar. First, they both use leverage to increase returns, which also causes additional volatility in their NAV. Secondly, there's the active use of interest rate swaps to manage duration and hedge risks. Thirdly, there's a focus on generating monthly distributions to shareholders. Finally, they have access to instruments of varying complexity that are unavailable to ordinary investors. These complex portfolios often include assets that are unfamiliar to the broader market. Although PDI and PDX share significant fundamental similarities, the two funds differ in size, since the former's portfolio is 7.5 times larger than the latter's ($7.51 billion vs. $1.01 billion). Despite this, PDI’s expense rate is higher (4.46% vs. 3.29%) due to its larger scale. Generally speaking, the management ...

Key Points Nivida's chips are so popular that even six-year-old models are selling out.

Continue » If I were just starting out today, the first two stocks I would buy with a $10,000 nest egg would be Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR). Both have done extremely well and have long runways to continued growth. 1. Nvidia Nvidia has been a massive winner over the last three years -- a $5,000 investment would be worth nearly $36,000 today. That's a gain of 621% for the chipmaker, whose graphics processing units (GPUs) are considered the gold standard for training and running artificial intelligence (AI)-powered programs and other high-level computing tasks. But you're not too late to jump in on Nvidia stock. The company is generating massive revenue and earnings gains, with revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 (ending Jan. 25) of $68.1 billion, up 73% from a year ago. Net income was $39.5 billion, up 79% from last year, and earnings of $1.82 per share were a gain of 82% from a year ago. Nvidia rolled out its new Blackwell chips last year, and its next-generation Rubin chip...

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is one of the stocks mentioned during the show, as we cover everything Jim Cramer said about the market. Cramer explained why the stock is not moving, as he stated: Now, there was a lot of news about NVIDIA at the GTC festival, but none of it managed to move the stock. One reason was confusion. Jensen talked about how he has $1 trillion worth of business for his highest-end chips, up from $500 billion just a few short months ago. The numbers included 2025 figures, though, and the new figure is through 2027, while the previous target was only for 2025 to 2026. So candidly, it did sound bigger than it was, even though it was gigantic. The stock blew up a quick five points during the speech as retail investors used market orders, spiking the share price and then getting clobbered all the way down when people realized the $1 trillion number was less significant than they thought, even though it was significant. Second reason NVIDIA can’t seem to catch a break… Unlike a few years ago, institutional money managers own the stock in gigantic amounts. There’s not a lot of accounts that don’t own it already.

Now, some analysts have written up the news claiming that this NVIDIA news was very positive, and I couldn’t agree more. Of course, I’ve liked Uber for years. I still think the company can make plenty of money now by being the number one rideshare platform and the number two food delivery app. I still think they’ll be a major player in robotaxis, either through their own vehicles or someone else’s, because anybody can plug that technology into Uber’s rideshare network. But what changed this week is that Uber’s self-driving strategy now has the NVIDIA imprimatur. And with each new announcement, we can get more visibility into what the robotaxi strategy looks like. And that’s why the stock found its footing this week, and it’s just beginning. Now that we’re back from California, I want to go over one big story from NVIDIA’s GTC extravaganza. It’s really not getting any attention at all, especially today with the market so bad. Earlier this week, NVIDIA announced it’s expanding its autonomous driving partnership with Uber. They plan to launch a global fleet of self-driving cars that run on NVIDIA software starting in San Francisco and LA. It’s going to be sometime in the first half of next year.

The Trump administration renewed its assault on Harvard University on Friday, filing a lawsuit in Massachusetts alleging the Ivy League institution violated the civil rights of Jewish and Israeli people in the aftermath of the war in Gaza. The lawsuit, shared publicly by the New York Times, accuses Harvard of allowing anti-Israel protesters to operate on campus “with impunity” following the 2023 Hamas terrorist attack on Gaza and Israel’s massive military response. Donald Trump said last month he wanted a $1bn payout from Harvard for its perceived antisemitism, and Friday’s development is the latest in a series of legal attacks on one of the nation’s most prestigious universities since he returned to the presidency last year. In September, a federal court ruled the Trump administration unlawfully canceled $2.2bn in federal research grants as part of the president’s feud, punishing Harvard for defying his directives to end diversity, equity and inclusion programs and “leftwing” ideological teaching even as other institutions fell in line and made huge financial settlements. The lawsuit, filed Friday in the US federal court for the district of Massachusetts, the Times reported, reignited a feud that the September ruling appeared to have settled. Harvard, the 44-page court filing said, “turned a blind eye to antisemitism and discrimination against Jews and Israelis” by strictly enforcing policies against other forms of bias but allowing anti-Israel protests, such as a three-week “encampent” by pro-Palestinian demonstrators in 2024, to proceed virtually unchecked. Jewish and Israeli students, it said, “were repeatedly denied access to educational facilities by antisemitic demonstrators” as well as “harassed, physically assaulted, stalked, and spat upon. “Fearful for their safety, Jewish students wore baseball caps to conceal their yarmulkes, or kept out of sight,” it said, claiming that Harvard’s response was to “do nothing”. “Harvard fostered and continues to foster a ...

Three victims of IRA bombings in England on Friday dropped their civil claim for damages against former Irish republican leader Gerry Adams, whom they had sought to hold personally responsible for orchestrating the blasts. The trio – who were injured in IRA bomb blasts in the 1970s and 1990s – had also sought to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Adams was a senior member of the Irish Republican Army. But on the very last day of the two-week trial, their lawyer Anne Studd told the High Court in London the case would be discontinued. Advertisement The three bomb victims had sued Adams for a symbolic £1 (US$1.33) in damages. “The parties have agreed … that the claim is discontinued,” said a statement read by Judge Jonathan Swift. He made no order as to costs. Advertisement But the lawyers for the claimants said in a statement that the three men had been forced to drop the case due to a procedural issue, calling the outcome “deeply unfair”.

When NASA’s Perseverance rover landed in Jezero Crater in 2021, its primary mission was to scour the remnants of a dried-up Martian lakebed for signs of ancient life. Scientists have been focused on the crater's spectacular Western Delta, a fan-shaped geologic feature deposited by a river flowing into the basin billions of years ago. But now Perseverance’s ground-penetrating radar (called RIMFAX) detected what is likely another, even older river delta buried tens of meters beneath it. “I think it’s a promising place to look for signs of biosignatures at depth,” says Emily L. Cardarelli. “Microbial life could have potentially developed in those types of environments.” Cardarelli, an astrobiologist at the University of California Los Angeles, led the team interpreting RIMFAX imagery. Peeking underground Perseverance’s RIMFAX, the Radar Imager for Mars Subsurface Experiment, continuously fires radar waves into the ground, acquiring soundings each time the rover traveled 10 centimeters. When these radio waves hit boundaries between different types of rock, ice, or sediment layers, some of the signal bounces back. The timing and intensity of these reflections allow scientists to construct a two-dimensional, vertical slice of the subsurface, much like a sonogram of the Martian crust. Read full article Comments

For more than 60 years, nearly every large rocket used some combination of the same liquid and solid propellants. Refined kerosene was favored for its easy handling and non-toxicity, hydrazine for its storability and simplicity, hydrogen for its efficiency, and solid fuels for their long shelf life and rapid launch capability. About 15 years ago, rocket companies started serious development of large methane-fueled engines. SpaceX and Blue Origin now build the most powerful of these new engines—the Raptor and BE-4—each capable of generating more than half a million pounds of thrust. SpaceX's Starship rocket and its enormous booster are powered by 39 Raptors, while Blue Origin's New Glenn and United Launch Alliance's Vulcan rockets use a smaller number of BE-4s on their booster stages. Burning methane in combination with liquid oxygen, these "methalox" engines have several advantages. Methane is better suited for reusable engines because they leave less behind sooty residue than kerosene, which SpaceX uses on the Falcon 9 rocket. Methane is easier to handle than liquid hydrogen, which is prone to leaks and must be stored at staggeringly cold temperatures of around minus 423 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 253 degrees Celsius).
