Ford will switch to Tesla's plug-in hybrids, and by 2025, next-generation Ford vehicles will be able to use a very large network of superchargers. Current models will require the use of an adapter. So Ford won't have to build its own network.
That's thanks to the results of a study showing the same, and potentially higher, efficacy of the new oral weight loss pills than competitor Novo Nordisk's popular Ozempic injection.
This is great news as it makes taking it easier and, for many, more affordable. However, the tablet will be further tested, but I think there is huge... Read more
$BTI $BATS Less than a week ago, British American Tobacco abruptly changed CEOs. He is tasked with focusing more on the transition from traditional cigarettes to vaping and heated tobacco products. Currently, this stock is trading... Read more
I have $BTI and I trust it angels though, as you say, the competition is there but even though I'm a non-smoker and wouldn't put it in my mouth ever in my life, those people are addicted to it. It's just a drug, very addictive and people will buy it whatever the price. 😊
Montana yesterday became the first US state to ban Tiktok. The whole thing is likely to have a court case that will quite possibly decide the future course of action.
This could be the catalyst for a US-wide ban on Tiktok, which would strongly benefit $META.
I don't think they'll ban it across the US, I could see people taking to the streets over it or then someone bringing it up at the polls as their agenda to bring it back :D if that happened $META has the perfect override.
Automaker Stellantis has halted construction of an electric vehicle battery factory in Canada, citing the federal government's failure to deliver promised incentives. However, a substantial portion has already been built and negotiations are now underway.
The Deputy Prime Minister has said that they are very supportive of this investment and he is very confident that somehow... Read more
In other news from last week... Popular fast-food chain Wendy's $WEN has teamed up with Google to replace a human at one of its restaurants with an AI chatbot that now takes orders. Testing showed that the AI performed well and even did a better job than a human. It's nothing revolutionary, but it's another of many examples of using AI to increase efficiency and make work easier.... Read more
This sounds like a great use to me! Let's not kid ourselves, these kind of jobs are the first to go. If by chance the AI makes a "mistake", worst case scenario we get Fanta instead of Sprite... that's a reasonable price for "automation" for me :) I'm just surprised it was Wendys and Google that blew the whistle... Where's Mcdonalds, KFC, etc.? :)
I'll start by mentioning a person who may not be mentioned often here. That's Howard Marks. What I admire about him is his ability to explain complex problems simply. Howard Marks puts a lot of emphasis on the psychological side of investing and its huge influence on market events. He also talks about the importance of... Read more
I would like to add representatives from the energy sector to the portfolio. My best bet is the often mentioned $ENPH, which could be a great opportunity at the current price.
Management has mentioned that they are being very cautious and judicious with buybacks. The last buybacks took place in Q4 2021 at an average price of $197. Currently, the price is $159 while the company... Read more
Tomorrow is Google's annual developer conference, where Alphabet plans to announce several AI-related news and improvements, including the release of LLM for mainstream use.
They will also be showing off the new Pixel Fold foldable phone, for example.
Do you own any Bitcoin ETFs or any stocks that are linked to BTC?($MSTR) I'm thinking about an ETF mainly for ease of access - I don't move in cryptocurrencies, so I don't even know where to buy well. But at the same time, I'm hesitant to own $BTCUSD itself for its merits.
I would normally buy BTC on the exchange. If you would invest a larger amount of money then definitely convert it to a hardware wallet. You can find how-to videos on YouTube.
One of Warren Buffett's most famous phrases is that we shouldn't bet against the US because historically it has never paid off.
I'm beginning to feel, and a little afraid, that we won't be able to follow that advice any time soon. It is possible that I am in a bubble and am being overly pessimistic, but even that suggests many... Read more
I personally don't like some things either, like the debt. I definitely diversify my portfolio and I'm not just invested in the US, but US stocks and indices still make up the majority of my portfolio.
This is a pretty smart move by Ford!
