We're selling 50 shares of Corning at roughly $133 each. Following Tuesday's trade, Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust will own 600 shares of GLW, decreasing its weighting to about 2% from about 2.2%. We're making our first trim of Corning since initiating the position last October, locking in a gain of roughly 55% in the process. Over the past week, we have debated trimming this position and capitalizing on the stock's now more than 50% rise year to date. It's been a tug-of-war between our conviction in the long-term story and the discipline required after the stock's recent outperformance. Our conviction rests on the likelihood that the optical fiber and cable maker will announce more supply agreements like the multibillion-dollar deal it struck with Meta Platforms in late January. There could be more upside in this stock ahead as hyperscalers race to secure their optical fiber and cable supplies for their data centers. However, we've been balancing this with our discipline of selling into parabolic moves in stocks. Corning's 50% rise this year makes it the sixth-best performer out of the entire S & P 500 in 2026. Ultimately, we always say discipline trumps conviction , which is why we have elected to take profits on this parabolic move. Accordingly, we're downgrading the stock to our 2 rating , meaning we'll wait for a pullback before deciding to add shares again. (Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust is long GLW.

In the leafy streets of Woollahra, an affluent Sydney enclave home to some of Australia’s priciest real estate, locals haven’t been this riled since 1976. Half a century after residents helped kill off a train station they feared would shatter the suburb’s calm, workers returned to the abandoned site last month to resurrect the plan. This time, it’s linked to the construction of 10,000 new homes in and around Woollahra as the state government scrambles to boost supply in one of the world’s least-dense and most expensive housing markets. The growing dissent in this village-like suburb is more than a local planning dispute. As rents spiral and more Australians abandon dreams of homeownership, policymakers are confronting a hard truth: the country’s most protected neighborhoods must change if cities are to stay livable. “I think it should remain an old area,” said Pamela Cass, 88, a former model who bought her 19th-century terrace house — in the area near Woollahra now marked for rezoning — some 45 years ago. “There’s something very cosy about this. When I came here it was a village. We used to have street parties here and everybody knew everybody.” Though just minutes from the central business district, Woollahra has absorbed virtually none of Sydney’s growth. For decades, restrictive zoning and fierce local resistance have kept the city’s elite suburbs effectively frozen in time — a patchwork of sandstone terraces, boutique shops and art galleries that’s increasingly locked younger Australians out. Even as Greater Sydney’s population surged more than 70% over the past half-century, the council area that includes Woollahra and neighboring harbor-side suburbs shrank by about 10%. For state and federal governments, that era is ending. Their argument: Sydney’s outer fringe has shouldered the bulk of new development for too long, and wealthier inner suburbs — already well-served by existing infrastructure — must now take their share. “Within five kilometers of the CBD tod...

pablorebo1984/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Safran SA ( SAFRF , SAFRY ), a key supplier in the commercial aviation and defense sectors, rallied 13.6% since my last report , outperforming the S&P 500’s 1.3% gain. The company reported its full-year earnings in February along with an update to its medium-term targets. In this report, I analyze Safran’s earnings, the outlook, and I update my price target. Safran Sales And Earnings Rise Sharply Safran (Earnings Presentation) Safran’s revenues grew 14.7% to €31.3 billion. Organic growth was 14.8%, with negative currency impacts being almost fully offset by a change in scope driven by the acquisition of the Collins actuation business, adding five months of sales in 2025, and the acquisition of an MRO network in the US. Operating income increased 26.2% to €5.2 billion. This included 25.6% organic growth with a €39 million currency impact and a positive €61 million addition from scope changes. This brought the margins from 15.1% to 16.6%. Propulsion revenues grew 14.8% and 17.6% organically to €15.7 billion, with services sales growing 21% and OEM sales growing 12.1%. Spare parts sales were up 17.6%, driven by the CFM56 engine program. Services sales were driven by LEAP rate-per-flight-hour contracts and increased 30%. LEAP engine deliveries grew 28% year-on-year. Helicopter turbine sales also grew, primarily driven by higher service sales, higher OEM (original equipment manufacturer) sales, and higher missile propulsion deliveries. Military engine revenues increased, driven by favorable customer mix and services sales. Operating income increased €781 million to €3.6 billion, with margins expanding from 20.6% to 23%. This was supported by civil aero engine aftermarket sales, including the first profit recognition for LEAP-1A power-by-the-hour profit recognition, which is a big milestone. Additionally, the spare engine ratio was favorable. Spare engines carry higher margins compared to engines delivered to the OEMs. Equip...

Roundhill Investments has asked the US Securities and Exchange Commission for permission to launch six ETFs that would let investors wager on US election outcomes through standard brokerage accounts — the most ambitious attempt yet to bring prediction markets into mainstream finance. The proposed exchange-traded funds, disclosed in a filing on Feb. 13, cover presidential, Senate and House races across both parties. The tickers — BLUP, REDP, BLUS, REDS, BLUH and REDH — track funds with names like Roundhill Democratic President ETF and Roundhill Republican Senate ETF. Each fund would hold event contracts, a class of derivatives that settle at either $1 or $0. Pick the winning party and the contract pays out. Pick wrong and the contracts settle at zero, but the fund rolls into the next election cycle and resets — presidential ETFs from 2028 into 2032, congressional funds from 2026 midterms into 2028. “This is yet another example of pushing the ETF envelope,” said Todd Sohn , chief ETF strategist for Strategas. “ETFs are usually involved whenever there is a ‘hot’ asset or new way to gain exposure. It just takes one filing to get the ball rolling and prediction markets are the next forefront.” The filing comes after the Commodity Futures Trading Commission on Feb. 4 formally withdrew a Biden-era proposal that would have banned political event contracts, with Chairman Michael Selig saying the prior administration had overstepped by trying to ban the contracts outright. He pledged new rules grounded in “responsible innovation.” On Monday, Selig went further, writing in the Wall Street Journal that the CFTC would file a friend-of-the-court brief supporting Crypto.com against state regulators seeking to shut down event-contract markets. On Tuesday, the official X account of Selig posted a video warning that anyone seeking to challenge the commission’s authority would face legal action, saying: “We’ll see you in court.” Prediction markets have already proved demand for tradin...

More than 10,800 of the borrowers who qualified for the debt cancellation were enrolled in the U.S. Department of Education's Income-Based Repayment Plan ; another over 10,700 were in the Income-Contingent Repayment Plan ; and 820 borrowers were enrolled in the Pay as You Earn Repayment Plan . Those three programs are all known as income-driven repayment plans . IDRs limit a borrower's monthly bill to a share of their discretionary income and cancel any remaining debt after a certain period, typically 20 or 25 years. Another 18,160 federal student loan borrowers had their debts cancelled in January through the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, the Education Department said in its recent court filing. Signed into law in 2007 by President George W. Bush, PSLF offers debt cancellation to those who've worked for 10 years at certain not-for-profit organizations or the federal government.
