Alones Creative/iStock via Getty Images With movement in the Strait of Hormuz being heavily restricted by Iran, are investors underestimating the true scale of the disruption? Phil Davis, Founder of Philstockworld.com, breaks down why the impact could extend far beyond oil prices and how investors should be thinking about a prolonged period of uncertainty. Transcript Kim Parlee: As the conflict in the Middle East continues, a key focus for markets remain the Strait of Hormuz and whether it's open or closed. About 20% of the world's oil shipments travel through that area, and Iran is heavily restricting its use. And that, of course, has big implications for energy prices, inflation, and global growth. On today's show, we're going to be looking at how investors could be positioning in this environment. And who better to provide some of that insight that one of our favorite guests, Phil Davis, founder of Philsstockworld.com. Phil, it is always great to see you. How are you? Phil Davis: I'm great. Kim, how are you doing? Kim Parlee: I'm doing well. I'm doing well. We're happy to talk to you today. Always appreciate your thoughts on what's happening. And boy, is there are a lot happening. I understand that you believe that the market right now is underestimating the real impact of the Strait of Hormuz crisis. Maybe so walk us through what you're seeing and why you feel that way. Phil Davis: OK. Well, the thing you said right at the top-- you said 20 million barrels, and that's 20% of the world's supply. That is, I believe, an incorrect way of looking at it, and we hear it over and over and over again. But if you think about it, America, 13 million barrels a day. Canada, 5 million barrels a day. Mexico, a couple million barrels a day. Venezuela, 1.5 million barrels a day. So, on our side of the world, we're producing 22, 23 million barrels of oil a day. So the global supply that we're talking about is less our oil. And that's a very, very big deal. You have to look at it ...
School food has suffered at the hands of politics and economics for almost 50 years Almost a generation has passed since Jamie Oliver’s four-part Channel 4 documentary series Jamie’s School Dinners exposed the unhealthy reality of the food served to pupils at lunchtime, including – notoriously – fat-heavy, meat-light Turkey Twizzlers .

School food has suffered at the hands of politics and economics for almost 50 years Almost a generation has passed since Jamie Oliver’s four-part Channel 4 documentary series Jamie’s School Dinners exposed the unhealthy reality of the food served to pupils at lunchtime, including – notoriously – fat-heavy, meat-light Turkey Twizzlers . It proved a shaming and effective intervention. His ensuing Feed Me Better campaign led the then prime minister, Tony Blair, to pledge to make school lunches more nutritious and hand schools more money to do that, given the average lunch at that time cost just 45p to make. Problem solved? Unfortunately not. Continue reading...

Both make advanced optics technologies. Continue reading
When the Federal Reserve raised its benchmark rates 11 consecutive times in 2022 and 2023, many stocks slumped as investors retreated to the higher yields of risk-free CDs and T-bills. As a result, the 10-Year Treasury yield peaked at just over 5% in October 2023. In 2024 and 2025, the stock market recovered as the Fed cut its benchmark rates six consecutive times. But after dropping to a multi-ye...
When the Federal Reserve raised its benchmark rates 11 consecutive times in 2022 and 2023, many stocks slumped as investors retreated to the higher yields of risk-free CDs and T-bills. As a result, the 10-Year Treasury yield peaked at just over 5% in October 2023. In 2024 and 2025, the stock market recovered as the Fed cut its benchmark rates six consecutive times. But after dropping to a multi-year low of 3.8% in August 2024, the 10-Year Treasury yield rose again and currently hovers at 4.4%. Those stubbornly high yields suggest that worsening inflation could drive the Fed to raise its rates again. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

In this article @CL.1 Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT The White House in Washington, DC, US, on Saturday, Jan. 3, 2026. Aaron Schwartz | Bloomberg | Getty Images The White House on Friday launched a smartphone app that touts a selection of President Donald Trump 's second-term accomplishments and curates favorable news articles. It also invites users to report to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The app will provide updates about the Trump administration "straight from the source, no filter," the White House said in a message on X unveiling the app. It comes after the White House shared a number of short, cryptic videos on its official social media channels, hinting at a forthcoming announcement but offering little context. The app's home page includes a tile with information about Trump's policy priorities, and another on his achievements in office. Both direct viewers toward links to existing pages on the official White House website. At the bottom of the "Social" tab is a button allowing users to submit tips to ICE. The button links to ICE's Tip Form on its official site. Another page on the app focuses on affordability, a major issue for Americans since the Covid-19 pandemic that has only grown more pressing during Trump's first year back in office. The app displays a handful of grocery staples — eggs, milk, bread, butter and potatoes — and touts how much costs for those items have gone down year over year. Each item's listed price appears to correspond to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Some items are more specific than they appear on the app: The listed per-gallon price and year-over-year decline for "Milk," for instance, aligns with federal data on low-fat, reduced fat and skim milk , rather than whole milk , which has fallen by a smaller percentage in the same period. Not mentioned in the app are many other items, including ground beef, coffee and orange juice, that have gone up over the past year. Also absent is oil, which has...
