Continue » In the wake of all this early excitement, it's important for anyone who is considering buying shares to not do so based on hype alone. Here are three key things to keep in mind. No. 1: Swarmer is a software company, not a hardware company Swarmer emphasizes that it is a software company with a product that can be used for unmanned systems, but that it is not a drone manufacturer. It believes that gives it a distinct advantage as a supplier within an increasingly competitive and fragmented drone manufacturing market, as the capabilities of its licensed software can provide manufacturers with an edge in securing contracts. Speaking of that software, the company says its platform has been used in over 100,000 real-world missions in Ukraine, providing data and feedback that can be used to fine-tune performance and deepen operational intelligence. No. 2: It's still an early-stage company Swarmer is not for risk-averse investors. Its revenue was nearly $310,000 in 2025, down from roughly $329,000 in 2024. Los...
By March, traditional gardeners have worked hard to eradicate weeds in their vegetable plots in preparation for spring sowing.

By March, traditional gardeners have worked hard to eradicate weeds in their vegetable plots in preparation for spring sowing. A quick glance across my unkept patch reveals a very different approach, highlighted by its mosaic of vibrant wild greens obscuring the dark soil. But I have an excuse. Many weeds are edible and, with a little shift in perspective, can be transformed from a nuisance into a bonus crop, conveniently spanning the “hungry gap”: that period between winter vegetables finishing and spring crops being ready for harvest. Changing our perspective on certain members of this despised group of plants is not helped by their common names. Hairy bittercress doesn’t conjure much in the way of delectation, and yet it is an incredibly useful edible plant. With its rapid lifecycle and propensity for freshly disturbed soil, it is almost ubiquitous in gardens and, when picked young, makes a refreshing, tangy addition to salads or an egg mayo sandwich. View image in fullscreen Chickweed has pea-shoot-like qualities. Photograph: Michael White Stinging nettles do little to help the hearts and minds campaign. Not only do they sound alarming, but they have literally left their mark on most of us as bare-legged children. As adults, we can wreak our revenge by consuming this gourmet plant in huge quantities. Whilst harvesting, “grasping the nettle” will help reduce stings, but for a pain-free experience it is best to use gloves and scissors to gather the growing tips and young leaves. Boiled or steamed nettles are often described as a substitute for spinach, though in reality they far exceed the latter in flavour, texture and nutrition. The more gently named chickweed tends to be an easier sell and needs little promotion once its crisp, pea-shoot-like qualities are experienced. Fat hen is another delicious interloper, and let’s not forget the humble dandelion which, despite its mild diuretic qualities, does not deserve its reputation as “pissenlit” and is a celebrated s...

Mario Orain used to earn his living on the road. Now, the 51-year-old driver spends most of his time parked up, waiting for bookings that rarely come. “It’s really bad,” he told This Week in Asia. “There are very few bookings. And fuel prices have gone up a lot. It’s very expensive now.” With diesel prices in the Philippines shattering record highs amid the war on Iran , transport workers like Orain are being forced off the road as they face a stark choice between filling their tanks or feeding their families. Advertisement After weeks of increases, diesel breached the triple-digit mark for the first time on Tuesday – with the Department of Energy warning of prices as high as 114 pesos (US$1.90) per litre in Metro Manila, nearly one-sixth of the minimum daily wage rate for non-agricultural workers in the Philippine capital. The price surge forced some petrol stations to improvise after the figures exceeded the two-digit capacity of their digital display systems. It also exposed a long-standing vulnerability. A petrol station in Quezon City, the Philippines, shows diesel prices written on pieces of paper on Thursday as its digital board was not designed to accommodate the number of digits.

The Trump administration filed a lawsuit on Friday against Harvard University , accusing the institution of allowing a “hostile environment” towards Jewish and Israeli students during pro-Palestinian demonstrations on campus from 2023 to 2025. President Donald Trump has launched an offensive against major American universities, accusing them of giving free rein on their campuses to pro-Palestinian movements in the face of the Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip, action which he equates with antisemitism. In February, the Department of Justice filed a similar lawsuit against the University of California, Los Angeles. Advertisement In its new complaint, the DOJ said Harvard “faculty and leadership turned a blind eye to antisemitism and discrimination against Jews and Israelis,” accusing the university of failing to enforce its own rules against pro-Palestinian and anti-Israeli protesters. “Harvard let anti-Israeli demonstrators occupy its libraries. Harvard allowed an anti-Israeli encampment to persist for twenty days in violation of university policy,” said the lawsuit, filed in a Massachusetts court. Advertisement “Harvard fostered and continues to foster a campus climate where hostile antisemitism and anti-Israeli conduct thrives,” it said.

This year hasn't been the best for Ford (F 1.03%) and Ferrari (RACE 2.04%). The Detroit auto stock has seen its share price tank 10% (as of March 18) in 2026. The Italian brand is in the same lane, as its shares are down 11%. Shares in both businesses are currently trading well below their peak prices, so this should prompt opportunistic investors to take a closer look under the hood. Is Ford or Ferrari the better industrial stock to buy right now? Ford's leading position in trucks and SUVs doesn't mask its unfavorable fundamentals Ford's F-Series pickups were once again the best-selling vehicles in America in 2025. This continued an incredible streak, now at 44 years, that they've held this position. Ford is a leader in the market for SUVs, as well. This is a good position to be in, since trucks and SUVs carry higher price tags and better margins. However, this hasn't translated to a strong financial performance -- at least over the long term. Because Ford is a mass market auto manufacturer, its growth and profits are usually disappointing, compared to companies in other sectors. For example, Ford's revenue is projected to increase at a compound annual rate of less than 1.8% over the next three years, according to analysts' consensus estimates. Also, its adjusted operating margin came in at 3.6% in 2025. Without strong growth and profit gains, Ford doesn't have what it takes to generate winning returns for investors. That's true even though the stock's valuation is cheap, as it trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of 8.1. Over the past decade, the shares have produced a disappointing total return of 50%.
