The bomb placed outside a US Air Force Base visitors centre in Florida last month was built inside two 2-litre cherry Pepsi bottles, according to federal prosecutors. Alen Zheng, 20, of Land O’Lakes, is accused of planting the bomb and lighting the fuse at the base on March 10. He drove the explosive to MacDill Air Force Base in the boot of his Mercedes SUV, according to a document filed by prosec...

US Attorney Gregory Kehoe has said it had the “potential to...

It was a powerful rally in the holiday-shortened week, with the S&P 500 gaining 1.6%.

It was a powerful rally in the holiday-shortened week, with the S&P 500 gaining 1.6%. I will unpack what was going on beneath the headline numbers so we can see where money is going and from where it is coming. S&P 500 Last 4 Weeks Monday was a down day, but the other three were up days. Tuesday’s big rally (up 2.91% on the day) jump started the recovery rally. As we will see, all indices and all sectors were higher last week, as the dip-buyers lifted (almost) all boats. It’s the “almost” part that I’m most interested in. Zoom out to 12 months We finished March with a decline of 5.1% - the first down month since May of last year. Although we didn’t officially enter correction territory, it felt like we did and the impact on certain assets and sectors make the last month look like a correction. You’ll see what I mean as we go through the rest of the charts and tables. S&P 500 last 4 weeks (ZenInvestor.org) S&P 500 Monthly Returns Returns by month (Author compilation) S&P 500 Drawdowns This chart really shows how strong last week’s rally was. Whether it will keep going next week depends on how investors are going to react to geopolitical events and government reports. Drawdowns 2025-2026 (Author compilation) A Look At The Bull Run Since 2022 Here is another chart that was calling out for an oversold bounce in the week prior to last week. We were very oversold on a technical basis, so I worry that the bounce was more mechanical than fundamental. Price since Oct 2022 (ZenInvestor.org) Major Index Performance Last Week NASDAQ stocks took the lead last week as the Mag 7 had a very strong rally. All of the indices I track were up strongly, but not all of the components of these indices participated in the fun.

Wilder wins heavyweight contest on split decision British boxer earns hero’s reception in final fight Deontay Wilder consigned the British heavyweight Derek Chisora to defeat in his final bout but only after an exhilarating fight-of-the-year contender at a raucous O 2 Arena. In the 50th bout of Chisora’s eventful professional career, Del Boy showed remarkable powers of recovery to come back from a punishing eighth round and take the former WBC champion the distance in south-east London. After the American showed early on the power that once made him one of the most formidable punchers in heavyweight history, Chisora’s farewell threatened to turned into a nightmare during a one-sided start.

One of Hong Kong’s prime objectives when emerging from the Covid-19 pandemic was to attract visitors back to the city to boost the economy and its international image. Tourists have returned, with almost 50 million arriving last year, a 12 per cent increase on 2024. The figure is expected to rise to 53.8 million this year. Such progress is encouraging.

The Demise Of Trial By Jury Authored by Celina via American Greatness , Justice isn’t blind anymore: Multiculturalism has made impartial justice impossible “Law grows with the growth, and strengthens with the strength of the people, and finally dies away as the nation loses its nationality.” — Friedrich Carl von Savigny Photo: Wyandanch, N.Y.: As the jury foreperson read the verdict of "not guilty" in the Los Angeles courtroom, women at Straight Path Beauty Supply in Wyandanch, New York react expressively on October 3, 1995. (Photo by Dick Kraus/Newsday RM via Getty Images) On Tuesday, October 3, 1995, the verdict in the O. J. Simpson criminal trial was broadcast live across the globe, a truly defining moment of the late twentieth century. In the now-iconic split-screen imagery, as the words “not guilty” reverberated through the Los Angeles courtroom, black spectators erupted in celebration and applause, raising their fists in jubilation. Conversely, white spectators sat frozen in stunned, horrified silence, grappling with an incomprehensible subversion of the evidentiary record. The stunning juxtaposition of the visual perfectly captured the fracture of a society devoid of a shared moral consensus. Students at Augustana College react to the verdict of O. J. Simpson’s murder trial, October 3, 1995. A man got away with a murder that everyone knew he committed, and half the room is happy because of his race. This was obviously not an exercise in blind justice; it was an exercise in racial grievance. Decades later, juror Carrie Bess admitted with chilling indifference in a 2016 documentary that 90 percent of the predominantly black jury knew Simpson was guilty, but voted to acquit him purely as “payback” for the Rodney King incident . When asked if she believed that decision was right, she merely shrugged. This historic moment illuminates how, in multiracial societies, jury verdicts can trigger visibly racialized reactions rather than a shared acceptance of blind justi...
Buying and holding for the long term requires a different mindset. You aren't investing for today; you are investing with a horizon spanning decades. Which is why you'll want to stick with companies that have proven they know how to win in both good markets and bad ones. That's exactly what you'll get with high-yielders Bank of Nova Scotia (NYSE: BNS) , Realty Income (NYSE: O) , and Enterprise Pro...
Buying and holding for the long term requires a different mindset. You aren't investing for today; you are investing with a horizon spanning decades. Which is why you'll want to stick with companies that have proven they know how to win in both good markets and bad ones. That's exactly what you'll get with high-yielders Bank of Nova Scotia (NYSE: BNS) , Realty Income (NYSE: O) , and Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE: EPD) . Here's a quick look at each. Bank of Nova Scotia has not increased its dividend every single year. However, it has paid a dividend every year since 1833. That's not a typo. This Canadian banking giant has been rewarding investors regularly for more than 150 years. The dividend yield is currently around 4.6%, more than four times higher than the yield of the S&P 500 index (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) . Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading
