Steven Puetzer/The Image Bank via Getty Images We previously covered Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:PLTR) in November 2023, discussing the management’s brilliant marketing approach for AIP, with it likely to accelerate its top-line and customer base expansions. With the nascent generative AI SaaS market still ripe for immense growth, we continued to rate the stock as a Buy after a moderate pullback. In this article, we shall discuss why we are choosing to downgrade the PLTR stock as a Hold here, attributed to the massive baked-in premium observed in its stock valuations and pulled forward upside potential in the stock prices.…

When applying for a new credit card, you always want to find the best welcome offer — the one that offers the most bang for your buck, the most points, the most cash back. But what if there’s a welcome offer so potentially lucrative that it keeps you from signing up for other cards for an entire year? After getting the Chase Freedom Unlimited in September of last year, that’s the situation I find myself in. Let me explain. Best-ever sign-up bonus In the fall of 2023, I took advantage of a fantastic (now-expired) welcome offer on one of Chase’s…

These days, Afghanistan makes international headlines more and more rarely and when it does, it is always about yet another tragedy. A humanitarian crisis, an earthquake, a deadly attack, a drought, expelled and suffering refugees. I used to work for Daily Outlook Afghanistan, the first English-language media outlet in the country. In our small newsroom, we recognised the negative psychological impact that the constant stream of bad news had. So we set out to look for positive stories to print side-by-side with our regular coverage and try to counter this decades-old tendency to paint Afghanistan in all-dark colours. Daily Outlook…

  Karl Hendon/Moment via Getty Images Investment thesis Our current investment thesis is: NV5 (NASDAQ:NVEE) is a fantastic company, illustrated by its impressive share price performance (+1k%). It is extremely well-rounded in its expertise, allowing the company to scale in the projects it is delivering and also expand the services it can offer its clients. We see numerous industry tailwinds that should support long-term growth, with its position allowing NV5 to gain market share and enjoy an outsized portion of this spending. The company’s capital allocation is a concern but we would like to see a period of operational improvement…

  CNN’s fact checker Daniel Dale loves to fact check every little thing that Trump says but rarely if ever goes after Biden. Until now. Apparently, Biden’s address was a bridge too far for CNN and Dale, because they fact checked claims he made and the analysis was pretty brutal. Dale went after Biden for multiple claims he made about the documents stored at his house. Mediaite has details: ‘Just Not True’: CNN Fact Checks Three False Claims Biden Made About Special Counsel Report CNN’s Daniel Dale pushed back on three false claims made by President Joe Biden at his…

  Opinion Senator Josh Hawley joined a chorus of Republicans calling on Democrats to do the “patriotic” thing by invoking the 25th amendment against President Joe Biden following Rep. Claudia Tenney’s formal request for the Attorney General to explore the option. To nobody’s surprise, Biden’s Democrat colleagues have gone silent on invoking an amendment they often cited as a means to remove former President Donald Trump from the White House. Concerns were raised to a heightened level regarding President Biden’s mental acuity following the release of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s damning report outlining his mishandling of classified documents. The report…

  TikTok’s attempt to stall the EU from designating it as a “gatekeeper” — companies with platforms powerful enough that they must follow strict Digital Markets Act (DMA) antitrust rules — has been rejected by a court. Bloomberg reports that the EU’s General Court has dismissed owner ByteDance’s request for an interim measure that would effectively would buy TikTok some more time to implement the regulations, finding that the company “failed to demonstrate the urgency” required. Although TikTok is appealing the EU’s gatekeeper designation, the bloc still hasn’t reached a final decision yet on the appeal. ByteDance asked for an…
