London CNN —King Charles III has marked his 76th birthday on Thursday by opening two food distribution hubs, as part of his Coronation Food Project that he launched a year ago in the hopes of bridging the gap between food poverty and food waste. Charles visited one of the new hubs in south London, which is hosting a “surplus food festival” where meals will be made using food that might otherwise have gone to waste. Since it was launched, the food project has worked with local charities FareShare and the Felix Project, and saved 940 tons of surplus food - the equivalent of 2.2 million meals. Charles speaks with staff at the new distribution center, designed to save and circulate surplus food and to support communities in need. King Charles treats his actual birthday in November like a normal working day, but the bonus of being the monarch means that he actually gets two.

Defense stocks have typically been excluded from portfolios based on environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors due to ethical concerns over their association with warfare. Nonetheless, the inclusion of defense stocks in sustainably-minded portfolios remains controversial.

That shift in legal doctrine was profound, shaping how courts have applied antitrust law ever since. Khan’s ideas have challenged the closest thing to a sacred cow in antitrust law. The most ambitious of those never became law, but Khan’s role in the probe, which Cicilline described as “critical,” helped further raise her profile. Amazon and Meta have both pushed for Khan to recuse herself from matters involving the companies, questioning her objectivity. The US Federal Trade Commission sued Amazon.com Inc. in a long-anticipated antitrust case, accusing the e-commerce giant of monopolizing online marketplace services by degrading quality for shoppers and overcharging sellers.

Apple (AAPL) became the most under-owned mega cap technology stock at the end of the second quarter, according to a Morgan Stanley research note published Wednesday. That positions the stock for further upside, making us even more optimistic on this essential "own it, don't trade it" Club stock. Behind Apple, the Morgan Stanley report showed, the other most under-owned stocks were Microsoft (MSFT), Nvidia (NVDA), Amazon (AMZN) and Google (GOOGL). Ultimately, analysts at Morgan Stanley argued, "on average, stocks appear to experience a technical pull higher when active ownership is much lower than the market, and vice versa." That, Morgan Stanley analysts said, resulted in the spread between Apple's S & P 500 weighting and active ownership widening by 91 basis points sequentially, to 2.21%.
