Investors who want to capitalize on the growing weight loss market might be tempted to turn to the current leaders in the field, Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk. Both companies are worth serious consideration, in my view, but other drugmakers could also offer investors exposure to this area while having more diversified portfolios. Some investors might be more attracted to this value proposition.… 

For nearly two decades, the U.S. electric grid was a story of stagnation. Power demand barely grew. Efficiency gains offset economic expansion. Utilities built cautiously, regulators emphasized affordability, and investors came to expect modest growth paired with steady dividends. That framework is breaking down. Instead of relying entirely on traditional regulated utility models, we’re seeing more interest in dedicated generation… 

After a volatile start to 2026, the S&P 500 finished out the month of February within 1.8% of its all-time highs.

Strangely, most investors ignore this principle when they go shopping for stocks. They see a company they like, they check the ticker, and they click “buy” at the current… 

There’s a three-letter acronym that scares the life out of retirees – and it is not IRS. It’s RMD and it stands for required mandatory distribution, the minimum amount of money you must withdraw from your retirement accounts each year once you reach 73. If you were like me and millions of others who put money into an employer-sponsored 401(k)… 

Welcome to the end of the world for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) stocks – at least as we’ve known them. As a group, they have dropped more than 20% since late 2025.

Artificial intelligence is big business, and competition for many of them is stiff these days. The resulting spending spree, which has been coined “hyperscaling,” is resulting in billions of dollars to buy semiconductor chips, build data centers, and develop the software to run AI. Morgan Stanley estimates hyperscalers will raise around $400 billion in corporate bonds in 2026 to scale AI. And JPMorgan recently… 

Until last week, Wall Street wasn’t showing much interest in India. But that all changed at the start of the week when India Prime Minister Narendra Modi had a long phone call with the White House.
