Certain kinds of tax-advantaged retirement accounts allow you to invest with pre-tax dollars and benefit from tax-deferred growth. The government eventually wants to get its cut, though. So, there are required minimum distribution (RMD) rules that require you to eventually begin making withdrawals from these accounts. When you do, you are usually taxed at your ordinary income tax rate. You need to follow RMD rules because the penalties can be harsh if you don't. These rules have also changed over time. In fact, here are three big rule changes you need to know about for 2026. 1. You get to wait longer before taking RMDs Under the traditional rules, RMDs started at 70 1/2. But then two pieces of legislation were passed: The SECURE 1.0 Act in 2019 and the SECURE 2.0 Act in 2022. SECURE 1.0 raised the starting age to 72, and SECURE 2.0 raised it even further. These changes only applied to people born after a certain time, though, so RMD requirements are now based on the account holder's birth year. Specifically, RMD requirements are now based on the birth year of the account holder. The table below shows when you should begin your required minimum distributions, based on when you were born. As you can see, anyone turning 66 in 2026 or beyond will get to wait longer to take their required minimum distributions. If Your Birth Date Was: This Is When RMDs Start Before July 1, 1949 70 1/2 Between July 1, 1949, to Dec. 31, 1950 72 Between Jan. 1, 1951, to Dec. 31, 1959 73 In 1960 or later 75 2. You don't have to take RMDs from Roth accounts anymore RMDs can be very frustrating if you'd rather leave your money in your 401(k), in your IRA, or in other tax-deferred accounts because you don't really need it yet. Being forced to take required minimum distributions when you don't want to isn't just annoying -- it can be costly, as you'll have to take out money based on the government's schedule. Unfortunately, this means that you could get pushed into a higher tax bracket due to wi...

Maximusnd/iStock via Getty Images The U.S. stock market posted modest gains in the fourth quarter of 2025 with the S&P 500 Total Return Index (“S&P”) and the Russell 1000 Growth Index (“RLG”) returning 2.66% and 1.12%, respectively. The RiverPark Long/Short Opportunity Fund was up slightly, returning 0.13% for the quarter. Performance within the Russell 1000 Growth Index was uneven, with notable strength in Health Care and Communication Services, while more defensive and interest-rate-sensitive sectors such as Utilities and Real Estate lagged. Market leadership remained concentrated, but dispersion beneath the surface increased. Investors favored companies demonstrating earnings durability and clear progress on monetizing secular growth investments, particularly in health care and select parts of the AI value chain. By contrast, stocks exposed to higher capital intensity, valuation sensitivity to interest rates, or slowing demand faced pressure, even when underlying fundamentals remained sound. From a macro standpoint, economic growth held up better than expected and inflation continued to moderate, allowing financial conditions to ease incrementally. While technology performance was mixed during the quarter, investor focus increasingly shifted toward return on invested capital rather than headline growth. Overall, our longs contributed 0.89% and our shorts cost us 0.29%. We were hurt by some of our broader hedges in the quarter including iShares MSCI Eurozone ETF ( EZU ) and the Invesco QQQ Trust Series ( QQQ ), and we benefited from several individual company shorts including CarMax ( KMX ), Fidelity National Information Services ( FIS ), Compass ( COMP ), and Duolingo ( DUOL ). In the short book, we continue to focus on businesses that we believe are losing competitive market share, that have business models we believe are flawed or are facing cyclical headwinds (including unprofitable technology, subscale internet media, residential real estate, cyclical industr...

Wing Tom Roebuck denies that England's squad unity is fracturing under the pressure of successive losses against Scotland, Ireland and Italy, and the subsequent scrutiny. Saturday's defeat by Italy, a first in 33 Test meetings between the teams, has left England on the brink of the worst Six Nations campaign in their history. An argument between captain Maro Itoje and Fin Smith over whether to kick for goal or to the corner from a second-half penalty was picked up on the referee's microphone, with Itoje tetchily telling his fly-half "don't argue with me, take the three". In the wake of the defeat, the Rugby Football Union released a statement backing head coach Steve Borthwick, while admitting results had been "hugely disappointing" and insisting it would attempt to "understand and rectify" the reasons behind their underwhelming campaign. Sam Warburton told BBC Rugby Special that he thinks there is more to England's nose-diving form than is apparent from outside. "Something is going on, I think, behind closed doors," said the former Wales and British and Irish Lions captain. "We can only guess what's going on, but that is not a camp which is all on the same page who know what they are doing. It is very disjointed."

Earnings Call Insights: Myomo, Inc. (MYO) Q4 2025 Management View Paul Gudonis, President, CEO & Chairman, highlighted progress on four major objectives: growing revenue through direct-to-patient marketing and recurring sources, expanding market access via new payer contracts, managing cost structure to demonstrate operating leverage, and advancing product innovation. He reported, “Fourth quarter of 2025 was our strongest revenue quarter of the year with $11.4 million in revenue. This brought our full year revenue to $40.9 million, representing 26% growth over 2024.” Gudonis emphasized the growth in orders: “We also recorded the highest number of orders in the company's history with 241 MyoPros ordered during the quarter, up 5% sequentially from the third quarter.” He cited expanded O&P channel penetration, early success of the MyoConnect referral program, and stronger international revenues as key drivers. He announced a new multistate agreement with Elevance Health, covering 45 million lives, as a “first such extensive payer arrangement, which provides for case-by-case authorization.” Gudonis disclosed the China JV is on hold after the majority shareholder declared bankruptcy. Management is working with investors to potentially recapitalize and restructure the venture. On the product front, he noted the upcoming rollout of the Myomo mobile app and development of the next-generation MyoPro 3. David Henry, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $11.4 million, which was our highest revenue quarter this year, up 13% from the third quarter of 2025, but down slightly versus the prior year period.” He added, “Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 68.6%, down from 71.4% a year ago and up from 63.8% in the third quarter.” Outlook Management expects first quarter 2026 revenue in the range of $9 million to $9.5 million. For full year 2026, the company guides for revenue between $43 million and $46 million. The company anticipat...

One of the biggest stories in the entertainment industry so far in 2026 is Netflix (NFLX 0.68%) missing out on its proposed acquisition of parts of Warner Bros. Discovery. On Dec. 5, 2025, Netflix announced it had signed a deal to acquire the Warner Bros. studio and other entertainment assets from Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD 0.72%) for $27.75 per share, with a total enterprise value of $82.7 billion. This set off a complex high-stakes bidding war with Paramount Skydance (PSKY 6.59%), which submitted its own competing offer. On Feb. 26, Netflix announced that it was declining to raise its offer, leaving Warner's board to accept a superior offer from Paramount. The entire Warner Bros. Discovery company is now being acquired by Paramount Skydance for $31 per share, or about $110 billion of total enterprise value. In an interview with Bloomberg on March 1, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said it was unlikely Netflix would pursue another studio acquisition, saying, "We are builders, not buyers." That's something co-CEO Greg Peters said back in October 2025 when rumors were building about Netflix trying to buy parts of Warner Bros. Discovery. Here are key takeaways from the end of Netflix's pursuit of Warner Bros. and what it might mean for investors in this media stock. Netflix might be better off Was losing the Warner deal a "loss" for Netflix? Maybe not. The streaming giant's stock is up 5.6% year to date as of market close March 6 and about 17% since Feb. 26. Netflix even got paid a $2.8 billion breakup fee by Paramount Skydance. Meanwhile, Paramount Skydance stock is down about 10% year to date, and its credit rating was cut to "junk" status on March 2 by Fitch Ratings due to concerns about Paramount Skydance's rising debt levels and uncertainties related to the acquisition. Missing out on the WB deal could be good news for Netflix. Sarandos told Bloomberg that the company had a "very tight range" that it was willing to pay for Warner Bros. and that "I'm happy where we g...
