picture alliance/picture alliance via Getty Images Dear readers, My investment in Aurubis (OTCPK:AIAGF) (OTCPK:AIAGY) thus far has been lackluster. The combination of thieving and an expected downturn in the 2024E fiscal has really sent this German cyclical lower, to where my position is now in the red even with dividends and FX included in the calculation. In this article, I’ll be updating on Aurubis and tell you why I am still investing heavily into this business, and expect to add to my position as it hopefully keeps declining further, upping the yield here and making the company more interesting. As…

Posted: 2/10/2024 | February 10th, 2024 Perched on the banks of the Brisbane River, Brisbane is renowned for its warm and welcoming atmosphere, laid-back lifestyle, and bustling urban scene. Located on the eastern edge of the country, most people visit as they travel up the coast, stopping for a day or two before heading onward to the Gold Coast or Cairns. While it may not be as popular as Sydney or Melbourne, Brisbane won’t disappoint. It is the third-largest city in Australia and offers visitors a mix of modern architecture and lush outdoor spaces. And while most visitors are drawn…

Names marked with an asterisk have been changed to protect identities.  After a night of selling roses in Tuscany, Mohammed* was cycling along a seaside road when someone in a passing car hit him on the back with a pole. He fell to the ground. It was August 2013 and Mohammed was 22. He believes it was intentional and likely a racist attack. “I was already broken,” he said. “But after that, I was in pieces.” He suffered emotionally and still has back pain from the assault today. He had arrived in Italy a few months earlier following a harrowing…

    The stock price of Prospect Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:PSEC) cratered 7% last Friday after the business development company reported quarterly earnings. The stock price meltdown is a little hard to comprehend when taking into account that Prospect Capital’s dividend was once again well-covered by the company’s net investment income and the non-accrual ratio, a measure of troubled loans, remained exceptionally low at 0.2% in the last quarter. Though Prospect Capital suffered a 3.6% decline in its net asset value, I think passive income investors have a unique opportunity to gobble up shares on the cheap, and capitalize on even…

  CNN is promoting the journalist Natasha Bertrand, who wrote the 2020 Politico report on intel officials who called the Hunter Biden laptop Russian disinformation. In other words, instead of paying a price for pushing disinformation, she is being rewarded for it. This is a perfect example of why so many Americans no longer trust the news media. CNN’s @NatashaBertrand has been promoted to correspondent where she will continue to cover national security and politics across CNN’s platforms. Congratulations, Natasha! https://t.co/vTkxntheoP pic.twitter.com/RPsTzMECKs — CNN Communications (@CNNPR) February 13, 2024 From CNN: Natasha Bertrand promoted to CNN Correspondent CNN’s Natasha Bertrand…

This reputation has followed him ever since his first introduction to the ONE Championship fans, which saw him take on one the best strikers in the world today.

During a recent interview with Southern Cross Combat, Williams reflected on the fight and how those…

At an official ceremony held by the Chinese government in Beijing on January 30, a queue of foreign diplomats lined up to present their credentials to President Xi Jinping. Among the 309 diplomats was an unlikely participant. After over two years of negotiations, China recognised Bilal Karimi, a former Taliban spokesman, as an official envoy to Beijing, making Xi’s government the first in the world to do so since the group seized power in Afghanistan in 2021. China has been making inroads into Afghanistan through investments and projects since the United States withdrew forces from the country in 2021, triggering a…
