Here's a plot twist nobody saw coming: the company that might win the autonomous vehicle race isn't actually building the cars. It's Uber—and Deutsche Bank just dropped a note saying the stock could pop 38% because of it. Let's back up. For years, everyone assumed the self-driving game would be a winner-take-all bloodbath between Tesla and Waymo. Tesla's got Elon's ego and manufacturing chops. Waymo's got the tech chops and Google's deep pockets. Seemed obvious one of them would crush it, ...

The Federal Reserve announces its interest rate decision today, and for the first time in years, the most important variable isn't inflation data or jobs numbers — it's a war. Brent crude has settled above $100 per barrel for four consecutive sessions. U.S. gas prices just hit $3.84 a gallon, the highest since 2023. The Strait of Hormuz — through which roughly 20% of the world's oil flows — remains effectively blocked. And Iran's security chief Ali Larijani was killed yesterday ...

Nasdaq just announced it's gunning for approval to go full 24/5—that's 24 hours a day, five days a week—and honestly, it's kind of a big deal.

Here's a plot twist nobody saw coming: Bob Iger, the guy who basically invented the modern Disney playbook, came back to save the company—and then... didn't. Not really, anyway. Let's set the scene. Iger's first run as CEO (2005-2020) was basically a masterclass in making money. Disney stock gained 438% while the S&P 500 only managed 155%. The man was a wizard. Then he left, things got messy, and in 2022 the board basically said, 'Get Bob back here, NOW.' Disney ...
