What’s fueling AI companies’ IPO rush

Welcome to the era of the big three. We’re not talking rappers here — although according to Kendrick Lamar, it’s “just big me” — we’re talking AI companies: Anthropic, SpaceX, and OpenAI. These three leading artificial intelligence companies are all expected to go public this year. Elon Musk’s SpaceX, which recently acquired another Musk company, […]

Anthropic prepares for blockbuster public offering

The maker of the large-language model Claude became the latest AI giant to file to go public, following a similar move by SpaceX. OpenAI is likely to follow suit. Anthropic’s market debut could arrive as soon as this fall. It’s not clear, though, how many shares it will offer to the public, but the IPO is set to make the company worth above $1 trillion.

Missing GOP Representative Has Time to Thank Trump for Endorsement

Trump Manipulates Markets With Extreme Early Morning Iran Announcement

Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf called it: President Trump is using his war on Iran for blatant market manipulation.

“Heads-up: Pre-market so-called ‘news’ or ‘Truth’ is often just a setup for profit-taking. Basically, it’s a reverse indicator. Do the opposite: If they pump it, short it. If they dump it, go long,” Ghalibaf wrote on X Sunday afternoon. “See something tomorrow?…

Here Comes the Bear Market

The Dow and Nasdaq indexes both closed Friday in correction territory—a market dip of 10 percent from the last peak—and the S&P 500 wasn’t far behind.

Probably we’d be there already if the market didn’t build into its calculations that President Donald Trump will reverse himself on Iran to prop up stock prices, a doctrine…

Or it might be other Marines who first storm the island that Iran uses to stage its oil exports, followed by one of those units. That seemed to be what Senator Lindsey Graham wanted, who invoked the…

Was Trump’s Big Iran Announcement Just a Ploy at Market Manipulation?

President Trump’s supposed five-day postponement of strikes on Iranian power plants may very well be a ploy to manipulate the markets in his favor amid skyrocketing oil prices.

“I AM PLEASED TO REPORT THAT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND THE COUNTRY OF IRAN, HAVE HAD, OVER THE LAST TWO DAYS, VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS REGARDING A COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION OF OUR HOSTILITIES IN…

The “populist” crusade to make the suburbs more segregated and expensive

To its fiercest critics, “populism” is a politics of mindless resentment: The populist’s animating ambition is not to help people in general — or the downtrodden in particular — so much as to hurt some vilified elite. If afflicting the comfortable also requires discomforting the afflicted, so be it. Personally, I think this is wildly […]
