"We've got to get more nuclear going," argues LikeFolio's Landon Swan. With tech outgrowing efficiency, he sees Constellation Energy's (CEG) deal with Meta Platforms (META) as a big win for the Mag 7 giant. Landon sees the company using that extra power to fuel its abundance of A.I. products. Despite the high price tag, Landon makes the case that "you have to be aggressive" when it comes to A.I. spend.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Nuclear stocks rally after Meta announces a deal for nuclear power with Constellation Energy. We talk to one analyst who lays out his top picks in the space. Then the tariff tax for retailers. A detailed breakdown of just how much prices could rise for consumers should trade deals not be reached. And then the CEO of Tri Pointe Homes, one of the nation's largest homebuilders, provides his outlook for the housing market as supply continues to remain tight.

US President Donald Trump has signed a series of executive orders titled Reinvigorating the Nuclear Industrial Base, Reforming Nuclear Reactor Testing at the Department of Energy and Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission with the goal of "re-establishing the United States as the global leader in nuclear energy".The aim is to increase US nuclear energy capacity from 100GW to 400GW by 2050, including the Department of Energy (DOE) prioritising work "with the nuclear energy industry to facilitate 5 gigawatt of power uprates to existing nuclear reactors and have 10 new large reactors with complete designs under construction by 2030".Explanations of each of the executive orders was given as they were presented to the president to add his signature in the Oval Office. In this episode we play pretty much the whole of that event. As well as the US President, you'll hear from Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, who is also Chairman of the National Energy Dominance Council, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Joe Dominguez, CEO of Constellation Energy, Maria Korsnick, CEO of the Nuclear energy Institute, Jacob DeWitte, founder and CEO of Oklo and Scott Nolan of uranium enrichment company General Matter.World Nuclear News's Claire Maden drills into more of the detail of the announcements, and Jonathan Cobb, senior programme lead, climate, at World Nuclear Association then assesses the broader implications of the US adopting the goal of quadrupling its nuclear energy capacity.Key links to find out more:World Nuclear NewsReinvigorating the Nuclear Industrial BaseNuclear Reactor Testing at the Department of Energy Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory CommissionEmail newsletter:Sign up to the World Nuclear News daily or weekly news round-upsContact info:alex.hunt@world-nuclear.orgEpisode credit:  Presenter Alex Hunt.

Today we had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Francesco Sassi for a wide-ranging discussion on global energy and geopolitics. Francesco is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Oslo and previously served as a Research Fellow in energy geopolitics and markets at Ricerche Industriali ed Energetiche (RIE). Francesco holds a Ph.D. in Political Science – Geopolitics from the University of Pisa, where he focused his research on the Sino-Russian gas interdependence. We were drawn to his straightforward analysis, insightful commentary, and use of maps to bring complex dynamics to life. We were thrilled to visit with Francesco and learn from his perspective. In our conversation, we explore the rise of political risk in energy markets and the growing global interdependence of the energy system, driven by factors such as China's increasing influence in shaping energy geopolitics, new interdependencies created by energy technology, trade and manufacturing, as well as disruptions like COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war. We examine Russian gas volumes to Europe, Spain's leadership in clean energy and the implications of its recent blackout, and the dual forces shaping Europe: rising cross-border interconnectivity projects alongside increasing energy nationalism. We touch on President Trump's recent visit to the Middle East, which is part of broader interest in energy and AI investment in the region, OPEC+ strategy, market share pressures, and the impact of low oil prices on Russia. Francesco shares his perspective on the potential for a Putin-Zelensky meeting, tensions between India and Pakistan, and how energy policy is becoming increasingly central to electoral platforms in Europe. We turn to Argentina's recent progress under President Milei, Israeli investment in lithium extraction technology in Argentina's lithium triangle, and how energy and mineral resources are increasingly being used as tools of foreign policy and geopolitical leverage. We close with Francisco's thoughts on the growing power of energy as a force shaping international relations and global industrial strategy. It was a dynamic and insightful conversation. Mike Bradley kicked off the discussion by noting that broader markets rallied substantially on Monday following news that China and the U.S. have agreed to a “tentative” tariff deal. Broader equity markets (S&P 500) have completely retraced their losses since Trump's April 2nd Day of Liberation and are now up slightly (+4%). Meanwhile, the S&P Volatility Index has plunged from its April 8th tariff volatility highs and is now trading near YTD lows, something to be monitored closely as any surprise event could send broader markets lower. On the bond market front, the 10yr bond yield is trading sideways even though April CPI came in lower than expected. PPI will be released on Wednesday and if it too prints lower than expected, it could provide room for the Fed to begin cutting rates at their June 18th FOMC meeting. On the crude oil front, WTI price has rebounded nicely over the past week and now trades at ~$63/bbl. Oil traders remain focused on future OPEC+ production increases and increasingly on whether U.S. E&Ps will begin altering their 2025 capex plans at these lower prices levels. He wrapped up with a look at key events this week, notably NRG Energy's acquisition of LS Power's portfolio of natural gas generation assets (~13gw for ~$12 billion). The move follows Constellation Energy's mid-January deal to acquire Calpine Corp. and demonstrates that both companies are positioning themselves for an acceleration in electricity growth this decade. Many thanks to Francesco for sharing his time and insights with us today. We hope you enjoy the discussion as much as we did! Our best to you all.

Y después de tanto tiempo llegó el día. Warren Buffet anunció el sábado que tras 60 años, deja el cargo de CEO de la compañía. El Oráculo de Omaha aprovechó la cita anual con los accionistas para anunciar el esperado adiós. Aunque señaló que no se va a desentender del todo de Berkshire Hathaway, ya que como indicó “todavía seguiré por aquí y posiblemente seré útil en algunos casos”. Su sustituto ya está claro o por lo menos el más deseado por Buffet. Greg Abel es el caballo ganador del inversor multimillonario. Y es que era el sucesor designado desde 2021, pero el anuncio le sorprendió igual que al resto del mercado. En sus manos queda el futuro de una empresa que Buffet ha convertido en uno de los gigantes de la inversión. Para Munesh Melwani, Socio Fundador de Cross Capital, una de las claves de la gran dimensión que obtuvo Buffet con Berkshire es la asociación que ha tenido en los últimos cincuenta años con Charlie Munger, vicepresidente de la compañía muchos años y él que es considerado como el principal socio del Oráculo de Omaha. En cambio para Luis García, gestor de MAPFRE AM, lo que explica el éxito del multimillonario es la transición que hizo del Value. Aunque el sábado no fue sólo el día de la sorpresiva despedida de Buffet. Berkshire Hathaway presentó resultados, unos resultados con unos beneficios decepcionantes. Estos se fueron hasta los 4600 millones de dólares, un 64% menos que el año pasado. Y es que la compañía sigue reduciendo sus ventas netas de acciones fueron de 1500 millones de dólares. ¿Cómo están ahora estructuradas sus inversiones? La empresa tenía una liquidez de 350.000 millones de dólares, de los cuales 300.000 han ido para bonos de tesoro. Aunque Buffet reconoció que la compañía estuvo a punto de invertir 10.000 millones en los últimos días. Sabemos los resultados y quién lo sustituye pero ¿Quién es Greg Abel? Nacido en Canadá, en 1992 empezó su andadura en PricewaterhouseCoopers. Después pasó a Mid American Energy, que fue al tiempo adquirida por Berkshire y que supuso la llegada a la empresa. Uno de los puntos más chocantes es que a Warren Buffet no le convencía Greg Abel en un principio. David Sokol, CEO de Mid American, convenció tanto a Buffet como a Munger de la valía de Abel. El Oráculo de Omaha es conocido por aprovechar los momentos de crisis para conseguir grandes inversiones. Eso es lo que hizo también Abel con la crisis de 2008. Gracias a la cancelación de Constellation Energy, que en vez de con Berkshire se fue con EDP, Mid American consiguió 1.000 millones de dólares de indemnización. Así comenzaron las andaduras de Abel hasta convertirse en lo que es hoy: la inversión más valiosa de Warren Buffet.

If you're interested in having a meaningful EA career but your experience doesn't match the types of jobs that the typical white collar, intellectual EA community leans towards, then you're just like me. I have been earning to give as a nuclear power plant operator in Southern Maryland for the past few years, and I think it's a great opportunity for other EA's who want to make a difference but don't have a PhD in philosophy or public policy. Additionally, I have personal sway with Constellation Energy's Calvert Cliffs plant, so I can influence the hiring process to help any interested applicants. Here are a few reasons that I think this is such an ideal Earn to Give career: A high income job in a low cost of living area means you will be able to donate a significant portion of your paychecks and still live comfortably.

The Low-Carbon Stocks for Sustainable Investors includes Corporate Knights company rankings (by sustainable revenues), top natural food stocks, and more! By Ron Robins, MBA Transcript & Links, Episode 149, March 7, 2025 Hello, Ron Robins here. Welcome to my podcast episode 149, published March 7, 2025, titled “The Low-Carbon Stocks for Sustainable Investors.” It's presented by Investing for the Soul. Investingforthesoul.com is your site for vital global ethical and sustainable investing mentoring, news, commentary, information, and resources. Remember that you can find a full transcript and links to content – including stock symbols and bonus material – on this episode's podcast page at investingforthesoul.com/podcasts. Also, a reminder. I do not evaluate any of the stocks or funds mentioned in these podcasts, and I don't receive any compensation from anyone covered in these podcasts. Furthermore, I will reveal any investments I have in the investments mentioned herein. Additionally, quotes about individual companies are brief. Please go to this podcast's webpage for links to the articles and more company and stock information. ------------------------------------------------------------- The Low-Carbon Stocks for Sustainable Investors (1) I'm beginning this podcast with my just-released annual favorite sustainable company ranking: Corporate Knights 2025 Clean200 List. Here are some quotes from an article by CK staff introducing the 2025 ranking. “California-based shareholder advocates As You Sow and Corporate Knights (Canada) today released the new cohort of the Carbon Clean200, a global list of 200 publicly traded companies leading the sustainable clean energy economy… It shows sustainable companies on path to dominate global economy. Key findings include: The top 10 companies on the list by revenue include Apple (AAPL), Contemporary Amperex Technology (300750.SZ), Microsoft (MSFT), Tesla (TSLA), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSM) and Volkswagen (VOW3.DE). Thirty-five countries are represented in the Clean200, including the United States (41), China (21), Japan (18), Germany (14), and France and Canada (11 each). Clean200 companies earned more than $2.5 trillion in sustainable revenue in 2023 (the most recent year for which full-year results are available). Clean200 companies generated a total return of 190.9% on a sustainable-revenue-weighted basis, outperforming the MSCI ACWI index (162.0%) and the MSCI ACWI/Energy Index of fossil fuel companies (76.7%) on Total Return Gross – USD Basis from the Clean200 inception of July 1, 2016, to January 29, 2025. $10,000 invested in the Clean200 on July 1, 2016, would have grown to $29,090 by January 29, 2025, versus $17,670 for the MSCI ACWI/Energy benchmark for fossil fuel. The industrial sector accounts for 52 companies on the list, followed by information technology (32), and consumer discretionary and materials (29 each). IT companies had the highest total sustainable revenue, a cumulative total of more than US$687 billion. Background ‘It is telling that clean energy stocks generated more than double the returns of fossil fuel stocks since 2016, despite political headwinds, underlining that stock markets care more about economic materiality of the parabolic growth in clean energy than the political leanings of the day,' says Toby Heaps, CEO of Corporate Knights and co-author of the report. The Clean200 utilizes the Corporate Knights Sustainable Revenue database, which tracks the percentage of revenue companies earn from sustainable economy themes ranging from green power to electric vehicles to plant protein and smart buildings. The list excludes companies that are flagged on Corporate Knights' list of ‘red flag' companies and As You Sow's Invest Your Values suite of mutual-fund transparency tools that identify companies involved in fossil fuels, deforestation, the prison industrial complex, weapons and tobacco, as well as the exclusionary screens that form part of the Corporate Knights Global 100 methodology.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- The Low-Carbon Stocks for Sustainable Investors (2) The next article is about a sector that appeals to many ethical and sustainable investors. However, few invest in it directly. The article is titled 3 Natural Foods Stocks Positioned for Success in 2025. It's by Sumit Singh and is on zacks.com. Here are some quotes from the article. “Companies like The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. (HAIN) and Vital Farms, Inc. (VITL) are responding to the rising demand for organic, clean-label and ethically sourced foods… However, this article focuses on these 3 Natural Foods Stocks to Watch. Quote. 1. United Natural Foods, Inc. (UNFI) stands as a prominent player in the natural foods sector, serving as one of the largest distributors of organic and natural products in North America. Through its extensive network, United Natural Foods supplies a vast array of products, including fresh produce, pantry staples, dairy alternatives and plant-based foods. With its diverse portfolio, the company caters to both retail giants and independent natural food stores… This Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) company is increasingly focusing on innovation and sustainability within the natural foods space. The company has committed to enhancing its supply-chain practices, reducing waste and supporting regenerative agriculture initiatives. United Natural Foods is also working closely with suppliers to accelerate food innovation. Through its supplier go-to-market program, the company has simplified the process of bringing new natural and organic products to store shelves. This initiative has enabled suppliers to reintroduce thousands of SKUs that were previously discontinued, expanding consumer access to diverse and healthier food options. 2. Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. (SFM) has been at the forefront of the natural and organic food movement, catering to health-conscious consumers seeking fresh, high-quality and ethically sourced products. The company's commitment to fresh, organic and attribute-driven products sets it apart. With nearly 46% of total produce sales now coming from organic products, Sprouts Farmers Market continues to expand its assortment, ensuring accessibility to high-quality, responsibly sourced food… This Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) company continues to strengthen its connection with customers through tailored marketing and engagement efforts, such as social media campaigns and in-store discovery events like Sprouts Brand Discovery Days. These initiatives showcase the company's differentiated offerings while attracting a younger demographic and increasing foot traffic. 3. Beyond Meat, Inc. (BYND) is transforming plant-based food by using cleaner, healthier ingredients. The company's latest Beyond 4 products, including the Beyond Burger and Beyond Beef, are made from a blend of yellow peas, brown rice, red lentils and fava beans. These ingredients provide 21 grams of protein per serving while cutting saturated fat by 75% compared to traditional beef burgers, thanks to the use of avocado oil. This commitment to nutrition has earned recognition from the American Diabetes Association and the American Heart Association, reinforcing Beyond Meat's focus on making plant-based options both tasty and healthy… This Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company's commitment to food innovation extends beyond retail into food service partnerships. The reintroduction of Beyond The Original Orange Chicken at Panda Express and the expansion of Beyond Nuggets at McDonald's locations in Europe underscore its ability to integrate healthier, plant-based options into mainstream dining. At the same time, Beyond Meat is working to educate consumers on its clean-label approach, challenging misconceptions about plant-based food processing.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- The Low-Carbon Stocks for Sustainable Investors (3) This next article is by an analyst who frequently appears on this podcast: Matt DiLallo. He is also writing about one of his favourite stock picks. His article is titled This Infrastructure Stock Could Be the Best Investment of the Decade. It can be seen on fool.com. Now, here are some quotes by Mr. DiLallo on his recommendation. “Brookfield Infrastructure (BIPC) (BIP) has an embarrassment of riches. The leading global infrastructure company is capitalizing on not one but three massive global megatrends: decarbonization, deglobalization, and digitalization. Those catalysts help drive the company's view that the world needs to invest an astounding $100 trillion over the next 15 years to maintain, upgrade, and build infrastructure. Given its leadership in the sector, it could be one of the best investments over the next decade as it capitalizes on massive opportunities to invest in infrastructure. Multiple growth drivers Brookfield Infrastructure believes that a trio of organic drivers will grow its funds from operations (FFO) by 6% to 9% per share each year. They are: Inflation indexation: Brookfield's infrastructure businesses produce very stable cash flow backed by long-term contracts and government-regulated rate structures, many of which link rates to inflation. Those escalators should boost its funds from operations per share by 3% to 4% per year. GDP growth Reinvested cash flow: Brookfield pays out 60% to 70% of its stable cash flows via dividends. It retains the rest to fund high-return organic expansion projects, which should drive another 2%-3% (in) annual funds from operations per-share growth… A trio of value enhancers Brookfield Infrastructure's megatrend-powered catalysts position it to grow its earnings at a more than 10% annual rate for many years to come. On top of that, it pays a more than 4%-yielding dividend that should continue growing at a healthy rate. Those factors alone position the company to deliver total returns of around 15% per year. Meanwhile, there's additional upside potential from an expansion in its valuation multiple. This high total return potential could make Brookfield one of the best investments over the next decade, especially when factoring in its much lower risk profile.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- The Low-Carbon Stocks for Sustainable Investors (4) Now, my final article is by another analyst on fool.com. Her name is Robin Hartill, and the article is titled How to Buy Constellation Energy Stock (CEG). Here's some of what Ms. Hartill says of her pick. “Constellation Energy (CEG) is the largest provider of carbon-free energy in the U.S., supplying about 10% of the nation's zero-carbon electricity. The Baltimore-based company's nuclear, hydro, wind, and solar generation facilities power about 16 million homes in the U.S. The company was established in 1999 as a part of Constellation Energy Group but later merged with Exelon Group (EXC) in 2012. Constellation Energy then spun off to become its own publicly traded company in 2022, focusing primarily on nuclear and renewable energy. In January 2025, Constellation Energy announced plans to acquire Calpine, a privately held company that's the leading generator of electricity from natural gas and geothermal resources in the U.S., for a net purchase price of $26.6 billion. The merger will create the largest provider of clean energy in the U.S. Last year, the company also made headlines when it inked a deal with Microsoft (MSFT) to restart a Three Mile Island nuclear power plant and power its artificial intelligence (AI) data center. If you want to invest in the transition to clean energy, buying Constellation Energy stock could be a smart move… Is Constellation Energy stock profitable? Constellation Energy stock is profitable. The company reported generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) net income of $11.89 per share and adjusted operating earnings of $8.67 per share for fiscal 2024, easily beating the top end of its twice-revised guidance range of $8 to $8.40 per share. In the fourth quarter of 2024, it posted adjusted earnings per share of $2.44, well above the analyst consensus of $2.19. The company's Q4 and full-year earnings report contained several other pieces of good news for investors. Constellation Energy said it completed $1 billion worth of share repurchases in 2024 and grew its dividend by 25%. It also received a credit ratings upgrade from Moody's, which could make it cheaper for the company to borrow money for projects that will power its growth. Constellation Energy pays annual dividends of $1.41, which works out to a dividend yield of 0.44% based on its share price as of mid-February 2025. That may not be the kind of dividend yield that excites income investors, considering that many utility stocks have yields well north of 3%. But the stock could be worth snatching up if you're looking for dividend growth. Since becoming its own publicly traded company in 2022, Constellation Energy has increased its dividend every year. The company said in its 2024 annual report that it expects to hike its dividend by another 10% in 2025.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Additional article links 1.

Hacer de la necesidad virtud parece que se ha convertido en un mantra para Constellation Energy. La compañía de energía estadounidense con sede en Baltimore, Maryland ha sido una de las que más se ha aprovechado de las exigencias energéticas de los Data Centers. Según Natalia Luna Bujanda, analista senior de Columbia Threadneedle, estos centros de procesamiento de datos consumirán el 18% de la electricidad al final de esta década. Y esto no es sino una oportunidad de oro para que Constellation continúe un crecimiento que ya el año pasado fue espectacular. Las acciones de la empresa subieron un 170 % en 2024. Para Forbes y teniendo en cuenta el panorama tan favorable que se va a encontrar con los Data Centers y gracias a las asociaciones que tiene, como por ejemplo con Microsoft, la compañía es uno de los valores marcados para ser la nueva “Nvidia”. Y es que para el medio económico especializado las asociaciones con las grandes tecnológicas provocarán que siga este crecimiento. Además, el uso de la Inteligencia Artificial y el gran requerimiento de energía por parte de esta, hacen que muchas compañías como Google o Microsoft hayan reabierto centrales nucleares. Y aquí entra Constellation. La empresa explota la mayor flota de centrales nucleares de Estados Unidos. Tiene 21 reactores. El 2025 además empieza de forma inmejorable para la compañía. Ya el 10 de enero, las acciones de la compañía subieron un 25%, llegando a máximos de 310 dólares. La razón: La adquisición de la empresa de capital privado Calvine Corporation. Constellation se hizo con esta empresa por 16.000 millones de dólares. La operación se hizo a través de dinero en efectivo y acciones. Además, la compañía se hizo cargo de la deuda Calvine. El montante total ascendió a más de 26.000 millones de dólares. Baltimore Gas and Electric creó el Holding Constellation en 1999. Su primera operación de gran calado fue en 2005, cuando comercializó el reactor presurizado europeo en los Estados Unidos. Warren Buffet puso los ojos en Constellation en 2008. A través de la empresa subsidiaria Berkshire Hathaway, MidAmerican Energy, quiso adquirir 4700 millones en acciones de la compañía, aprovechando el mal momento que atravesaba. Al final, vendió 4.500 millones de dólares a la compañía eléctrica francesa Electricité de France y se deshizo de su negocio internacional y lo vendió a Goldman Sachs y aguantó su negocio nacional. Algo sabía el Oráculo de Omaha, ya que 17 años después, Constellation es una de las empresas del momento.

On WSJ's Take On the Week, co-host Telis Demos talks with reporter Peter Rudegeair about this coming week's latest inflation gauge, the personal-consumption-expenditures price index, or PCE, and what's going on with the price of eggs. Then they dive into what to expect from the slew of forthcoming housing data and what that could signal about mortgage rates. They also discuss Nvidia, Vistra and Constellation Energy earnings. Later on the show, Telis and Peter are joined by Chris Hansen, founder and portfolio manager of the hedge fund Valiant Capital Management, to talk about AI-related stocks beyond the tech companies investing in AI, including Amazon, Microsoft and Meta, and chipmakers such as Nvidia. They discuss the power companies that provide the extra electricity that fuels data centers needed to support AI and how power companies may also be long-term winners in the AI race. This is WSJ's Take On the Week where co-hosts Gunjan Banerji, lead writer for Live Markets, and Telis Demos, Heard on the Street's banking and money columnist, cut through the noise and dive into markets, the economy and finance—the big trades, key players and business news ahead.

We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!In this episode of ‘Discover Daily', we explore groundbreaking developments in AI technology and their far-reaching implications. Leading the headlines is Google's release of Gemini 2.0, introducing three powerful models - Flash, Pro, and Flash-Lite - each tailored for specific use cases and offering enhanced performance capabilities. We also delve into how the EU's Digital Markets Act is reshaping the iOS app landscape, with the controversial release of Hot Tub marking a significant shift in Apple's traditionally strict content policies.Our main story focuses on DeepSeek's revolutionary R1 AI model, which promises to transform the energy sector with its unprecedented efficiency gains. This Chinese startup's innovation has triggered a dramatic sell-off in energy stocks, with major players like Constellation Energy and Vistra experiencing substantial declines. The development challenges previous assumptions about AI's growing energy demands and could potentially reshape the future of data center infrastructure and power consumption patterns.The implications of DeepSeek's breakthrough extend beyond immediate market reactions, potentially accelerating the transition to renewable energy sources and forcing a reassessment of planned energy infrastructure expansions. With current projections suggesting AI-driven data centers could consume up to 12% of U.S. electricity demand by 2028, this efficiency breakthrough could fundamentally alter the trajectory of energy consumption in the tech sector and influence how companies approach their sustainability goals.From Perplexity's Discover Feed:https://www.perplexity.ai/page/google-s-gemini-2-0-now-availa-.jZH0lMHSSWdnsRf4nHWxwhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/first-iphone-porn-app-controve-v6tz6uHVTfu.3v6lWPmeAwhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/deepseek-upends-energy-industr-Ce9aHa1nSZyHcFbXWnCTrQ Perplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

Il sistema bancario italiano è in fermento. Dopo il tentativo di Unicredit di acquisire Commerzbank e Banco Bpm e quello di Banca Ifis di rilevare Illimity, ora è Monte dei Paschi di Siena a lanciare un offerta su Mediobanca. Il brutto anatroccolo vuole comprarsi la più blasonata delle banche italiane. La potenziale fusione di Mps-Mediobanca, rispetto alle altre operazioni, però, ha un carattere più strategico. Infatti, il gruppo senese è sostanzialmente una banca commerciale, mentre Mediobanca è una banca private e un investment-bank, con una ingombrante partecipazione: Assicurazioni Generali.Fatto sta che oggi si è tenuto il cda di Mediobanca e Piazzetta Cuccia ha risposto stizzita ricordando anche gli interessi incrociati dei due protagonisti dell'operazione: Caltagirone e Delfin. Il cda «rigetta» l offerta pubblica di scambio «non concordata» di Mps, ritenuta «fortemente distruttiva di valore». Lo si legge in una nota dell istituto guidato da Alberto Nagel. «L Offerta non è stata concordata ed è da ritenersi ostile e contraria agli interessi di Mediobanca». Facciamo chiarezza con Luca Davi, Il Sole 24 Ore.Deepseek, momento Sputnik cinese o caos programmato? Un'intelligenza artificiale low cost di pechino nella giornata di ieri ha fatto crollare il Nasdaq e innescato un piccolo terremoto nel settore hi tech negli USA nella giornata di ieri. 1000 miliardi bruciati in un giorno. Su8lla scia dei risultati sorprendenti dell'app Deepseek, il colosso dei microchip Nvidia ha perso oltre il 17% in Borsa. In rosso sono finiti a Wall Street Broadcom (-16%), Microsoft (-4%), Micron (-8%) e Advanced Micro Devices (-5%). Sotto pressione Constellation Energy (-12%) e Vistra (-19%), impegnati in progetti energetici per IA. Al contrario, le aziende cinesi collegate a DeepSeek, tra cui Zhejiang Orient Holdings e Zhuhai Huajin Capital, sono salite del 10%. L'app cinese potrebbe rappresentare il momento Sputnik dell'intelligenza artificiale. Questa start up cinese, nata come spin off del fondo di investimento High-Flyer, ha rilasciato un chatbot che ha messo in discussione la leadership occidentale (o meglio, americana) nel settore dell'AI, sgretolando certezze su una presunta superiorità tecnologica che ora potrebbe essere più difficile da dimostrare. Cerchiamo di capirne di più con l'intervento di Biagio Simonetta, Il Sole 24 Ore e Nicola Gatti, professore ordinario in ingegneria informatica del politecnico di Milano e direttore del centro di ateneo per la ricerca e innovazione in intelligenza artificiale.

En este consultorio, Javier Etcheverry analiza la actualidad de los mercados financieros y responde a consultas de oyentes. Destaca que la incertidumbre generada por factores como la inflación, el techo de deuda en EE.UU., y la próxima administración de Trump, provoca tensiones en los mercados. Según Etcheverry, los índices como el S&P 500 enfrentan un tercer testeo de soportes críticos, mientras los mercados buscan estabilidad. Sobre el precio del petróleo, Javier Etcheverry explica que se encuentra en un rango entre los 80 y 88 dólares por barril, impulsado por tensiones en la oferta, sanciones al crudo ruso y la reactivación de la demanda global, especialmente en Oriente. Este dinamismo refleja cómo los mercados energéticos reaccionan ante la geopolítica y las expectativas de crecimiento. En cuanto a inversiones específicas, Etcheverry desaconseja entrar en Constellation Energy debido a sus recientes máximos, pero recomienda seguir de cerca los soportes en valores como Palo Alto, mientras evalúa oportunidades en el sector cuántico, subrayando la necesidad de invertir en mercados con fundamentos sólidos y lejos de máximos históricos. Finalmente, destaca que la inflación europea y el fortalecimiento del dólar encarecen los productos básicos, complicando las perspectivas económicas. Para quienes buscan invertir, insiste en la importancia de analizar los fundamentales antes de tomar decisiones, recordando que los mercados siempre penalizan la falta de previsión y la incertidumbre. En resumen, la estrategia en los mercados debe ser prudente, con atención a sectores emergentes y soportes clave, evitando riesgos innecesarios en valores sobrevalorados o con poca solidez.

Carl Quintanilla, Jim Cramer and David Faber explored market reaction to the stronger-than-expected December jobs report: The results sent stocks down sharply and yields higher on concerns the Fed might not cut rates later this month. Shares of Delta and Walgreens surged on the companies' respective earnings beats. Constellation Energy agreed to acquire Calpine for $16.4 billion in cash and stock, as tech companies seek power for their AI data centers. Also in focus: Elon Musk's "best case outcome" for DOGE federal spending cuts, big media players cancel their joint sports streaming venture, California wildfires impact. Squawk on the Street Disclaimer 

Carl Quintanilla, Sara Eisen and David Faber broke down this morning's blowout Jobs Report with Senior Economics Reporter Steve Liesman, alongside Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee, who says inflation remains sticky – so investors might need to wait for more rate cuts ahead.   The team also got the latest from California – with a live read from the ground in Altadena, alongside a check-in with one of California's Fire Battalion Chiefs. Analysts out of JPMorgan now estimating the Palisades blaze could be the costliest fire in U-S history at more than $20B.   Plus: a deep dive on energy with the CEO of Constellation Energy, as those shares surge on a new deal announcement with Calpine – combining two of the country's largest power generators amid surging demand.

This is a good review article of the best ones for US residents. It's titled Best ESG ETFs: Top funds for socially responsible investing. It's by Brian Baker and found on msn.com. Here is some of what he has to say. “1. Vanguard ESG U.S. Stock ETF (ESGV) tries to match the performance of the FTSE U.S. All Cap Choice Index and screens for certain ESG criteria. Certain companies in the following industries are excluded from the fund: adult entertainment, alcohol, fossil fuels, gambling, nuclear power, tobacco and weapons. 5-year return (annualized): 15.7 percent Expense ratio: 0.09 percent 2. iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (ICLN) seeks to track the performance of an index of global stocks from the clean energy sector. 5-year return (annualized): 7.3 percent Expense ratio: 0.41 percent 3. iShares ESG MSCI USA Leaders ETF (SUSL) gives investors exposure to large- and mid-cap stocks that score highly on ESG issues relative to their sector peers. 5-year return (annualized): 9.7 percent Expense ratio: 0.49 percent 4. iShares ESG Aware MSCI USA ETF (ESGU) tracks the results of an index of U.S. companies with ESG features that show a similar risk and return profile as the overall MSCI USA Index. 5-year return (annualized): 15.7 percent Expense ratio: 0.15 percent” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Top 2025 ESG Stock and Fund Picks (2) This next article arises from some new original research. It's titled Top Stocks Widely Owned by Small-Cap ESG Funds by Frances Aufderheide and can be seen on morningstar.com. Now a few quotes from the article. “In the United States, small-cap stocks range from a market cap of $2.9 billion to $11.2 billion, which will be the focus of this exercise. [Learn more about Morningstar Categories by downloading the US Fund Category methodology paper.] We compiled the holdings of the oldest share classes of all US sustainable small-cap funds. Next, we put the top 200 stocks that are commonly owned in a theoretical portfolio. Then, we calculated what the average weight of each security would be if this portfolio held all 200 stocks. We did the same with traditional funds, defining the universe as the oldest share class of small-cap funds, excluding sustainable funds. We found five stocks owned exclusively by small-cap sustainable funds. Source: Morningstar Direct. Weights and Data as of Dec. 3, 2024. 1.

Anthony Crowdell of Mizuho set a neutral rating for Constellation Energy (CEG) as companies like Microsoft (MSFT) turn to nuclear power for A.I.'s electrical demand. He argues a lack of plans for new nuclear plants make it difficult to see a sustainable future for the alternative energy. CFRA's Daniel Rich has a buy rating at his firm, believing Constellation Energy and Microsoft's deal can open other doors for alternative power in A.I. ======== Schwab Network ======== Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

The Three Mile Island nuclear power plant, site of the worst nuclear accident in U.S. history, could reopen in 2028. The plant's owner, Constellation Energy, signed a deal with Microsoft that would allocate 100% of the plant's power output to the tech company. Constellation is seeking a $1.6 billion federal loan guarantee to get the plant up and running. Microsoft hopes the power generated by the facility will help fuel the increasing energy needs of AI. It's estimated that by 2030, 17% of the U.S. energy output could be going to data centers used by tech companies to power AI. On today's “Post Reports,” host Martine Powers speaks with reporter Evan Halper about how AI is reshaping the energy landscape in the U.S., and about the potential benefits and dangers of reopening Three Mile Island. One other story mentioned in today's episode: see how climate change could be affecting the price of your home. Today's show was produced by Peter Bresnan, with help from Emma Talkoff. It was mixed by Sean Carter and edited by Ariel Plotnick, with help from Reena Flores. Thanks to Christopher Rowland.Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

Last month, Microsoft and Constellation Energy announced a deal to restart Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island, the site of the country's worst nuclear power accident. WSJ's Jennifer Hiller reports that the goal is to power the tech giant's growing artificial intelligence ambitions.

Ralph welcomes Middle East expert and executive VP of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, Trita Parsi, to fill us in on the consequences of Israel boobytrapping pagers and walkie-talkies in Lebanon and how those tactics have the potential to blow back on us in the United States. Then we welcome back surgeon and humanitarian, Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, who has worked in Gaza during the Israeli assault, to update us on his efforts to get the Biden Administration to convince Israel to stop the killing. Trita Parsi is the executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, and the co-founder and former President of the National Iranian American Council. He is an expert on US-Iranian relations, Iranian foreign policy, and the geopolitics of the Middle East, and has worked for the Swedish Permanent Mission to the UN, where he served in the Security Council, handling the affairs of Afghanistan, Iraq, Tajikistan, and Western Sahara, and in the General Assembly's Third Committee, addressing human rights in Iran, Afghanistan, Myanmar, and Iraq. He has authored three books on US foreign policy in the Middle East, with a particular focus on Iran and Israel— Treacherous Alliance: The Secret Dealings of Iran, Israel and the United States, A Single Roll of the Dice – Obama's Diplomacy with Iran, and Losing an Enemy: Obama, Iran and the Triumph of Diplomacy.We're in a very sad situation in which we have a president who has been sitting on the front lines of American foreign policy for one-fifth of America's history, who thinks that he knows everything best, and clearly doesn't seem to be listening to anyone. And there's plenty of discontent inside the Biden administration itself—and people appear to have just given up and are waiting for the elections—but there's no clear signs yet that there won't necessarily be much of a change even after that.Trita ParsiLet's first remember that if any other entity had done this to Israel—or to us—we would not have hesitated for a second. We would have called it an act of terrorism, and we would have called it an act of war.Trita ParsiDr. Feroze Sidhwa is a trauma and critical care surgeon as well as a Northern California Veterans Affairs general surgeon, and he is Associate Professor of Surgery at the California Northstate University College of Medicine. Dr. Sidhwa served at the European Hospital in Khan Younis in March and April of this year, and he has done prior humanitarian work in Haiti, the West Bank, Ukraine, and Zimbabwe. Dr. Sidhwa and 45 other American doctors and nurses who have served in Gaza recently sent a letter exhorting President Biden, VP Harris, and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden to effect an immediate ceasefire.It's hard to appreciate, but really literally everything in Gaza that makes a place a society has been destroyed. I think of it in three levels— at the very base is agriculture, food production, and housing, at the level above that is healthcare, and at the level above that is things that are for a higher level of society, education, arts, industry, whatever. That top level is gone. Literally every university in Gaza has been obliterated, physically destroyed…The hospital system is almost completely useless right now…the functionality of the hospitals is very little more than a four walled space in which people can walk into and ask for a doctor to put bandages on them. And then even the lowest level…something like 85 or 90 % of the water sanitation and hygiene infrastructure in Gaza has been destroyed.Dr. Feroze SidhwaThis is just outrageous. I mean, why are we doing this even to ourselves? Is it worth corrupting the entire executive department of the United States so that we can murder more children? Is that what Americans want? I don't think so.Dr. Feroze SidhwaLet's talk about Lebanon itself, not just Hezbollah. This is war on Lebanon—that has a dysfunctional government, to be sure— but it is a state that the U.S. is allied with in a way, supplying modest weapons to the Lebanese army, and France has had long relations with Lebanon going back to the mandate period. In the U.S., this is a whole new constituency where they're losing relatives and friends.Ralph NaderMore links to the letter sent by Dr. Sidhwa and his colleagues:To Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in CanadaTo Prime Minister Keir Starmer in the UKHow to email the PresidentHow to call the PresidentWrite or Call the White HouseIn Case You Didn't Hear with Francesco DeSantisNews 9/25/241. On September 11th, Senator Patty Murray and Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal sent a letter to the Biden administration demanding “an immediate, transparent, credible, and thorough independent U.S. investigation…into the killing of [Ayşenur] Eygi,” the American citizen murdered by Israeli forces during a protest in the West Bank. Senator Murray and Representative Jayapal both represent Washington state, where Ms. Eygi attended university. In this letter, Murray and Jayapal also list the numerous American citizens killed by Israeli soldiers even before the current explosion of tensions in the region, ranging from Rachel Corrie in 2003 to Shireen Abu Akleh in 2022. Senator Bernie Sanders echoed this call in his own statement on September 13th. Despite this pressure, the administration has not launched an investigation. The government of Turkey however – where Ms. Eygi was born, though she moved the United States when she was less than a year old – will pursue charges against Israel in the International Criminal Court and International Court of Justice, Reuters reports.2. The Intercept reports that the Uncommitted Movement will not endorse Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign. In their official statement, the Movement leaders write “Vice President Harris's unwillingness to shift on unconditional weapons policy or to even make a clear campaign statement in support of upholding existing U.S. and international human rights law has made it impossible for us to endorse her.” Harris proved unwilling to even meet with the Uncommitted leaders. This cold shoulder could have disastrous consequences, particularly in Michigan where Uncommitted garnered over 100,000 votes in the Democratic primaries.3. Boeing is again in crisis. On September 20th, the New York Post reported that the chief of the company's space unit, Ted Colbert, had been ousted after Boeing's Starliner capsule left astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore stranded on the International Space Station. This comes amid a massive strike by Boeing machinists, 96% of whom voted in favor of the strike per Ryan Simms of KOMO News. The New York Post adds that Boeing's shares have lost over 40% of their value so far this year.4. In more union related news, on September 18th, the Congressional Workers Union announced that “staff in the Office of Congressman Mark Pocan and Congresswoman Val Hoyle secured the first-ever Memorandums of Understanding…between congressional staff and their members.” These MOUs include salary increases, back pay, and immediate cost-of-living adjustments. The union will continue to press for the first ever Congressional office collective bargaining agreement.5. On September 12th, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau “filed a proposed order against student loan servicer Navient for its years of failures and lawbreaking.” If approved by the court, this order would permanently “remove Navient from a market where it, among other illegal actions, steered numerous student loan borrowers into costly repayment options…illegally deprived student borrowers of opportunities to enroll in more affordable income-driven repayment plans and forced them to pay much more than they should have.” Additionally, Navient would be forced to pay out $100 million to harmed borrowers, on top of a $20 million penalty. CFPB Director Rohit Chopra is quoted saying “For years, Navient's top executives profited handsomely by exploiting students and taxpayers…By banning the notorious student loan giant from federal student loan servicing and ensuring the winddown of these operations, the CFPB will finally put an end to the years of abuse.” Navient, formerly Sallie Mae, is described as “a repeat offender with a long history of regulatory violations,” and when the CFPB first took legal action against the company in 2017, it was the largest student loan servicer in the country.6. More Perfect Union's Jordan Zakarin reports the National Labor Relations Board has ruled that Starbucks illegally closed all three of its Ithaca, New York locations and that the NLRB “ordered that those stores be re-opened, with the unionized staff re-hired and given 16 months of backpay.” Yet, Zakarin notes that because this was decided by an administrative law judge, Starbucks can and more than likely will appeal this decision. This case starkly exemplifies why the capitalist class feels so threatened by the newly reinvigorated NLRB.7. A deeply disturbing story sheds light on sexual assault by CIA officers in postings around the world. The AP reports Brian Jeffrey Raymond, a longtime CIA agent, was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for drugging, photographing, and sexually assaulting more than two dozen women in postings around the globe. Yet Raymond's case is just the tip of the iceberg. “[A]nother veteran CIA officer faces…charges in Virginia for allegedly reaching up a co-worker's skirt and forcibly kissing her during a drunken party in the office…Still another former CIA employee…is scheduled to face a jury trial next month on charges he assaulted a woman…at the agency's Langley, Virginia, headquarters. That case emboldened some two dozen women to come forward to authorities and Congress with accounts of their own of sexual assaults, unwanted touching and what they contend are the CIA's efforts to silence them.” Tellingly, even Raymond's own attorneys contended that his “quasi-military” work at the CIA in the years following 9/11 contributed to his “emotional callousness [and] objectification of other people,” that led to his preying upon women. It is well worth remembering that, once set in motion, dehumanization is not easily stopped.8. Amid an expansive corruption probe in New York City, Gothamist reports just how much the NYPD is receiving in overtime pay in the subway; whereas last year, this slice of overtime pay totaled $4 million in taxpayer money, this year it has ballooned to $155 million, a nearly 4,000% increase. Meanwhile the Mayor continues to slash budgets for essential city services, such as libraries.9. Rolling Stone reports the Crypto lobby is spending gargantuan sums of money to take out Ohio Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown – reportedly $32 million by the end of September, or $800,000 per day. Aware that their cause is unpopular, they are not running pro-Crypto ads, but instead spots that say his opponent will stop “illegal immigrants from taking Ohio's tax dollars.” As Luke Goldstein of the American Prospect puts it “Dems are getting played like a fiddle by crypto; Schumer caved to their demands to stop the bleeding and then crypto PACs said thanks we're still dropping $32 mil in OH to knock out your senate majority.”10. Finally, in a story featuring a dizzying array of the worst things imaginable, Bloomberg reports “The owner of the shuttered Three Mile Island nuclear plant in Pennsylvania will invest $1.6 billion to revive it, agreeing to sell all the output to Microsoft…as the tech titan seeks…electricity for data centers to power [AI].” This story notes that “one of the site's two units permanently closed almost a half-century ago after the worst…nuclear accident” in American history, but Constellation Energy is “planning to reopen the other reactor, which shut in 2019 because it couldn't compete economically.” In other words, Microsoft is dumping money into a defunct nuclear power plant that has proven to be unsafe for the sole purpose of powering AI that has no proven benefits. Corporate greed caused a catastrophe at Three Mile Island before. Corporate hubris could easily cause another.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.
