Rare earths were just one of many issues that arose during the salvos of the recent trade war between the United States and China. The tensions between the two nations seem to have eased — a little at least — with the nations’ recent announcement of a 90-day pause regarding the recently heightened tariffs. But a 90-day pause doesn’t mean the strife between Washington and Beijing has been resolved. Where to invest $1,000 right now?

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has seen its sales soar on the back of a few big customers spending heavily to outfit data centers with as many of the chipmaker’s GPUs as they can buy. Its top three customers accounted for 34% of sales last year. Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is likely one of those big customers. The cloud computing giant spent over $93 billion in capital expenditures over the last 122 months, primarily focused on building out data centers for artificial intelligence (AI). That number will climb above $100 billion this year. While there’s a lot of overhead, including buildings, server racks,…
For decades, Superman has been the Big Bang of superhero culture. Before billionaires in batsuits and wise-cracking web-slingers, there was one man in a red cape who could leap tall buildings in a single bound — and redefine what it meant to be a hero. But in the era of multiverses, morally gray antiheroes, and cape fatigue, one question keeps surfacing:Does Superman still matter? The answer is a resounding yes — and James Gunn is here to prove it. David Corenswet, Superman (2025) [credit: Warner Bros. Pictures] The OG of Superheroes Since his debut in Action Comics #1 in 1938,…
The ’80s called — and Hollywood is finally picking up the phone again. With Masters of the Universe officially returning to the big screen in 2026, the question isn’t whether this reboot will be epic (though we hope it is) — it’s whether this is the beginning of a full-blown cinematic return to the neon-drenched, synth-scored weirdness of the 1980s. Because this movie isn’t just a reboot. It might be a signal. Swords, Space, and Shoulder Pads: A New Hope for Retro Weirdness Masters of the Universe was never just a cartoon. It was a full-throttle power fantasy wrapped in…

Lake Victoria (10/11 favourite) and Ryan Moore gave Aidan O’Brien another success in the Tattersalls Irish 1000 Guineas at The Curragh on Sunday. The daughter of Frankel, unbeaten as a juvenile last season, tasted defeat for the first time when beaten in the BetFred 1000 Guineas at Newmarket earlier this month. With her trainer Aidan O’Brien admitting at the time, and since, that the Coolmore partners-owned filly wasn’t fully ready for the English classic, hopes were high that she could get back to winning ways this afternoon at The Curragh. In today’s filly’s classic, Lake Victoria was all class as…
Nucor (NYSE: NUE) is a large and diversified U.S. steelmaker. Despite being conservatively run, the company can’t avoid the cyclical nature of the industry in which it operates.

Nucor makes steel and manufactures fabricated steel products. It is one of the largest and most diversified U.S. steel companies. There are two key nuances that investors…
Since taking control of Berkshire Hathaway in 1965, Warren Buffett has delivered incredible returns for its shareholders. He did that by acquiring a diverse group of strong businesses in the insurance, railroad, energy, and mortgage sectors, among others. Berkshire also owns and manages an equities portfolio through which Buffett and his team invest the firm’s capital in a select group of stocks. Today, that portfolio alone is valued at more than $278 billion. Although the Oracle of Omaha is set to step down as Berkshire’s CEO at the end of the year, there will always be some holdings in the…
2025 could be the year the autonomous driving revolution takes off in earnest. After all, Alphabet’s (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG) Waymo is currently on the road in several cities, with some analysts concluding that it has already overtaken Lyft in areas of San Francisco where Waymo operates. Meanwhile, Tesla’s (NASDAQ: TSLA) autonomous robotaxi service is set to launch next month in Austin, Texas. This will be a huge deal for both Tesla’s and Alphabet’s shareholders, as many believe Tesla will be the eventual winner in the space. However, the launch will be of absolutely massive importance to Tesla shareholders, as…
