Warren Buffett Just Dumped Another $3B in Stocks – Is the Oracle Having Second Thoughts?

Well, well, well. The Oracle of Omaha is at it again, and this time he's making moves that have everyone scratching their heads. Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway just dropped their Q2 earnings, and spoiler alert: they sold another $3 billion worth of stocks.

Vegas is Having a Rough Summer (And Your Casino Stocks Might Be Too)

So Vegas is having what we might politely call a "challenging summer." Translation: fewer people are showing up, and the casino stocks are starting to sweat harder than a tourist in 115-degree heat. Here's the deal: Las Vegas tourism dropped 11.3% in June compared to last year, according to the Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority. Hotel occupancy fell 6.5%, and suddenly those fancy Strip hotels are offering discounts like they're a Black Friday electronics sale. When Vegas starts cutting prices, ...

Remember when everyone was playing the "Trump Always Chickens Out" (TACO) trade? Yeah, about that...

Trump’s Tariff Surprise Party and Why Amazon Just Got Humbled

Well, well, well. Trump's tariff party officially started at midnight, and surprise! Canada got an extra special invitation with tariffs jumping from 25% to 35%. Apparently, being one of only two countries to actually fight back (along with China) wasn't the smartest diplomatic move. Who knew retaliation would lead to... more retaliation? The "reciprocal tariffs" hit a bunch of other countries too - Switzerland got slapped with 39% (ouch), while places like Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand are dealing with around 20% ...
