if he was a West point cadet wouldn't he be subject to military justice. Seems like the Army could prosecute him for extortion.

What exactly is the mission? Would they support the IDF strikes in Lebanon?
Do their aircraft have the range to carry out missions against Iran?

It might be a pretty serious decline.
We closed weaker Friday on the AI trade unraveling plus a hot inflation number really drilled the financial service stocks. Throw an oil price jump with uncertainty of how long this lasts and we may well get a pretty good buying opportunity.

Another problem for the industry as a whole was, the inflation report coming in way hot. I doubt there will be any interest cuts until at least the 3rd quarter.

Dorsey said he expects other companies to similarly overhaul their workforces as they see more efficiency gains from “intelligence tools.”

“Within the next year, I believe the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion and make similar structural changes,” Dorsey said. “I’d rather get there honestly and on our own terms than be forced into it reactively.”

State Farm on Thursday announced a historic $5 billion dividend for its car insurance members, the largest in the mutual insurance company’s 103-year history.

“This dividend is possible due to State Farm Mutual’s financial strength and a stronger than expected underwriting performance, which has been reported industry wide,” the company said in a statement.

Customers can expect to receive refunds of $100 on average, though State Farm says the amount will vary by state and by the amount of premium paid.

State Farm reports it has also lowered premiums by about 10% across 40 states, totaling $4.6 billion in cost savings for customers.

That’s a trend across the motor vehicle insurance industry. Auto repair costs are starting to decline, and the frequency of accidents declined in 2025.

Retail investors rushed into Nvidia
on Thursday following the chipmaker’s latest earnings report, according to VandaTrack.

Mom-and-pop traders recorded their highest levels of net buying in the stock during the first 80 minutes of a trading day going back to at least 2012, according to analyst Viraj Patel. Retail is not behind the selling that led to a lackluster reaction to the blockbuster results, Patel said.

There’s a caveat: Patel said there’s strong selling in addition to buying in the chipmaker. That can help explain the stock’s rocky action in morning trading, he added.

"Flows have been two-way,” Patel wrote in a Thursday note. “Total retail turnover in [Nvidia] has been pretty epic too at the start of the session.”

Thursday’s action comes on the heels of the AI darling’s earnings, which beat analyst expectations and came with strong guidance. Nvidia also reported 75% revenue growth in its core data center business, which helped drive the company’s overall sales up 73%.

Despite trading modestly higher before the bell, shares were lower by more than 4% in midday trading.

Reminds me of the summer of 2024 when NVDA released a slew of positive news but it was just never good enough.
Just have to let it run its course. The entire semi industry is getting hit as well.

Suppliers to U.S. aerospace and semiconductor firms face worsening rare earth shortages, with two turning away some clients, industry insiders said, weeks before U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to meet his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping for a summit in Beijing.

The shortages center on rare earths such as yttrium and scandium, niche members of the family of 17 elements, which play tiny but vital roles in defence technology, aerospace and semiconductors and are almost entirely produced in China.

From the article[quote]Any parent or guardian can set up an account for a child under 18, but only children born between 2025 and 2028 are eligible for the one-time $1,000 contribution from the Treasury.

After filing Form 4547, families will be contacted by a “trustee” with further details to complete the account setup, according to TrumpAccounts.gov. The authentication process is expected to begin in May, according to Treasury guidance from December.

Once an account is established, the federal government’s $1,000 seed funding will be available in Trump accounts on July 4, a Treasury spokeswoman previously told CNBC.


Parents, guardians and others can contribute up to $5,000 annually to Trump accounts until children turn 18 years old.

A growing number of companies have pledged to match the Treasury’s initial deposit for the children of employees. Employers can deposit up to $2,500 as part of the $5,000 limit.

Other kids may qualify for philanthropist gifts to Trump accounts, depending on income and where they live. Gifts facilitated by the Treasury won’t count toward the $5,000 contribution limit, Lira from Invest America told CNBC.
