Veteran returns to club 44 years after being sacked ‘It boils down to two words: energy and enthusiasm’ Roy Hodgson insisted he does not require “a crutch” after making a shock return to Bristol City at 78 years old and believes he is healthier than when last coaching two years ago, when he was taken ill at Crystal Palace. The former England manager, who took training at the Championship club for the first time on Monday, has taken interim charge for the final seven games of the season. Hodgson left Palace in February 2024 , four days after collapsing at training, but he was tempted out of retirement by Richard Scudamore, the former Premier League chief executive who joined City’s board last October. Hodgson was at home in Richmond, west London, when he received a message out of the blue from Scudamore, a lifelong City fan, asking if he could pick his brains. Continue reading...

“You can deceive, manipulate, and lie. That’s an inherent property of language. It’s a feature, not a flaw,” CrowdStrike CTO Elia Zaitsev told VentureBeat in an exclusive interview at RSA Conference 2026. If deception is baked into language itself, every vendor trying to secure AI agents by analyzing their intent is chasing a problem that cannot be conclusively solved. Zaitsev is betting on context instead. CrowdStrike’s Falcon sensor walks the process tree on an endpoint and tracks what agents did, not what agents appeared to intend. “Observing actual kinetic actions is a structured, solvable problem,” Zaitsev told VentureBeat. “Intent is not.” That argument landed 24 hours after CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz disclosed two production incidents at Fortune 50 companies. In the first, a CEO's AI agent rewrote the company's own security policy — not because it was compromised, but because it wanted to fix a problem, lacked the permissions to do so, and removed the restriction itself. Every identity check passed; the company caught the modification by accident. The second incident involved a 100-agent Slack swarm that delegated a code fix between agents with no human approval. Agent 12 made the commit. The team discovered it after the fact. Two incidents at two Fortune 50 companies. Caught by accident both times. Every identity framework that shipped at RSAC this week missed them. The vendors verified who the agent was. None of them tracked what the agent did. The urgency behind every framework launch reflects a broader market shift. "The difficulty of securing agentic AI is likely to push customers toward trusted platform vendors that can offer broader coverage across the expanding attack surface," according to William Blair's RSA Conference 2026 equity research report by analyst Jonathan Ho. Five vendors answered that call at RSAC this week. None of them answered it completely. Attackers are already inside enterprise pilots The scale of the exposure is already visible ...

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Introduction Micron ( MU ) has been seeing its stock decline from its peaks despite the company reporting record-breaking guidance for its Q2 earnings that would, in essence, triple the company’s financials compared to 2 years ago. I’ll dive into why I still believe that Micron is not worth an investment at this current price, as it is down more than 4% since my sell rating on the company . Current Dynamics The main driver of the decline has been Micron’s decision to increase its fiscal 2026 Capex guidance by over $25B . Though this is to fast-track domestic manufacturing, the hike gave the signal of the ever-coming oversupply trap if the AI boom slows even at a slim margin. More recently, the ratepayer protection pledge has forced the hyperscalers like Amazon ( AMZN ) and Google ( GOOG ) to internalize long-dated energy utility liabilities. There are some concerns that these infrastructure premiums will directly put costs onto tech balance sheets and potentially cool the available capital for HBM. This ties in with the $100B New York megafab that has faced significant timeline resets, as the first fab will now start in Q3 of 2030 due to labor shortages and construction complexities. This shows the difference between theoretical planning and the real-world friction I mentioned in my earlier analysis, which would certainly affect such a large-scale endeavor. Another pillar of the bull case behind Micron has been Agentic AI, which can autonomously plan, reason, and act to do multi-step tasks. The nature of agentic AI, which can generate thousands of continuous inference loops per user session, in essence acts as a sustained baseload of compute demand, multiplying the amount of HBM required per user by an order of magnitude. However, that monetization wall has remained a risk, as while reports have indicated that 79% of organizations have adopted AI agents, only 34% have achieved full implementation . More so, research from S...

Investors looking to navigate the choppy market should consider certain defensive plays, according to Barclays. That's because it's become clear that geopolitics, oil, artificial intelligence disruption and private credit are no longer just side risks this year, analyst Andrew Ferremi said in a note last week. "Global markets have entered a phase where geopolitical risk and structural disruption are no longer episodic shocks but persistent features of the investment landscape," he wrote. Stocks tumbled again last week, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average ending Friday more than 10% from its most recent high and entering correction territory, while the S & P 500 notched its fifth straight week of losses. The market has been see-sawing in 2026: First, investors grappled with fear over AI disruption in certain sectors . Private credit risks also weighed on the market as major funds saw rising redemptions . Then, the Iran war broke out at the end of February, sending oil prices higher. Ferremi and his team polled the firm's sector analysts on the best ideas for investors to manage the latest bout of market volatility. One top play is investing in stocks that are the most defensive in the current environment and are rated overweight by the analysts covering them. Many also pay dividends. Here are some of the names that made the cut. Investors can nab attractive portfolio income with Extra Space Storage , coming in with the highest yield on the list at roughly 5 % . The real estate investment trust focuses on self-storage properties, which have historically been resilient through economic cycles, analyst Brendan Lynch wrote. The sector's financials should continue to improve as supply pressures ease, he said. It will also benefit as AI drives enhanced marketing and pricing capabilities, he added. "We believe the largest players are best positioned to capture demand and leverage technology given large volumes of customer data and strong brand recognition," Lynch said. Th...

DNY59/iStock via Getty Images Intro As has often been the case in the past, instead of following the most widely discussed reasons for potential market drawdowns, they can start from a trigger nobody could have expected. While much of the recent discussion has hovered around an AI bubble, liquidity draining, overpriced markets, or the yen carry trade as potential catalysts for a market selloff, the reality turned out differently yet again – this time, the so‑called “expected unexpected” came from the closure of a strait in the Middle East. The Middle East has long been seen as a continuously entrenched conflict environment, something markets have largely come to accept as an almost unavoidable reality. As a result, yet another escalation in the region was seen as nothing more than a brief period of elevated volatility. In situations like these, markets generally act in a fairly rational manner. Iran’s roughly 1.5 mbpd of oil exports at risk were viewed as the main downside factor, but given that oil markets were already facing an oversupply before the conflict, the risks to the global economy seemed almost negligible. Furthermore, since Iran was already under heavy sanctions, its role in the global economy remained limited. Instead, a potential change in another hardline regime could be viewed as a positive development from the market’s perspective. After all, Iran is a large country—nearly three times the size of France and 2.5 times the size of Texas —with a population of nearly 90 million, reportedly well-educated people. As the holder of the world’s third-largest oil reserves , a post-sanctions Iran could see its energy supply expand and its economy thrive, providing a boost to both the global and regional economies. In short, from the market’s perspective, a degree of short‑term uncertainty was outweighed by the potential for a more positive longer‑term outcome. But the closure of the Strait of Hormuz – while widely analyzed in theory and known for its highly d...

Elon Musk looks on as President Donald Trump speaks at the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, Nov. 19, 2025. Brendan Smialowski | Afp | Getty Images Judge Kathaleen McCormick of Delaware said Monday that she's reassigning cases involving Elon Musk after the Tesla CEO accused her of bias due to what appeared to be her support of a social media post critical of him. Musk formally accused McCormick of bias last week, and his attorneys demanded that the Delaware Court of Chancery judge recuse herself from two Tesla lawsuits. The LinkedIn post that McCormick allegedly responded to with an emoji touted a court verdict that could cost Musk upwards of $2 billion for defrauding Twitter investors. McCormick said in a letter to Musk's attorneys last week that she didn't intend to click any emoji expressing support for the post, and that she had reported possible "suspicious activity" on her account to LinkedIn. In her order on Monday, McCormick denied the motion for recusal, but said she was reassigning three Musk-related actions now before the Court of Chancery to other judges. "The motion for recusal rests on a false premise — that I support a LinkedIn post about Mr. Musk, which I do not in fact support," she wrote. "I am not biased against the defendants in these actions. In fact, I dismissed a suit against Mr. Musk just last year. The motion for recusal is denied. But the motion for reassignment is granted." McCormick became the target of Musk's ire after she ordered Tesla to rescind his 2018 CEO pay package, worth about $56 billion in options, when she presided over the shareholder suit Tornetta v. Musk. Musk moved his businesses, including Tesla, out of Delaware, incorporating them in Texas and Nevada and encouraging others to do the same. In 2025, Delaware's Supreme Court said Musk's 2018 pay package must be restored, deciding that the lower court's decision by McCormick was too extreme a remedy and did not g...

Andrii Dodonov/iStock via Getty Images Commentary as of 12/31/25 The fund posted a return of -1.04% (Class I shares) for the fourth quarter of 2025, while its benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-mo. T-bill Index, returned 0.97%. The fund's underperformance of its benchmark was primarily driven by intra-emerging market fixed income positioning, relative-value European equity exposure, and a short U.S. dollar position. The fund maintained a relatively neutral equity exposure as data indicated that market positioning was complacent and could be stretched across a number of risks. The fund was directionally short duration (interest rate sensitivity) in primarily the United States and Japan, and positioned for country-level divergences. It retained a short U.S. dollar exposure versus a basket of global currencies. Portfolio management Philip Green, Michael Pensky Investment approach The fund seeks to attain the highest total investment return through a fully managed investment policy utilizing equity, debt (including money market) and convertible securities. Contributors The fund moved to a more defensive stance in October and November by trimming directional positioning, which hampered results as performance across stocks, bonds, and the U.S. dollar remained positive. However, December brought about a shift that benefited the directional short positions in long-dated fixed income, as global yield curves steepened. Relative-value fixed income positioning also contributed, notably a long German bund versus short U.K. gilt exposure. Directional and relative-value long positions in Japanese equities were also additive, as Japan outperformed its global peers. Detractors Emerging market fixed income positioning was the main detractor, particularly a long Korea rates versus a short emerging market rates exposure, as an unexpected Bank of Korea policy statement drove higher real yields and weighed on returns. European equity relative-value positions weighed on returns, with sho...
