I spent two months living in one of my bucket-list destinations — the tropical island of Bali. The beaches were mostly a letdownThe beaches in Bali aren't necessarily bad, and some are really nice. But walking anywhere in Ubud felt far more chaotic than the romantic drama "Eat, Pray, Love" depicts. Jonathan LevinIndonesia's Gili Islands are not technically part of Bali, but ferry trips to it are popular among Bali visitors, so it feels worth mentioning.

Having fun doing what you love — like surfing at Los Pinos, my favorite break in Mazatlán, Mexico — is one of the greatest pleasures of retirement. I'd been a journalist in California, so I started an English-language magazine and published it monthly for a decade. But being retired presents a new, unexpected set of challenges, too. It really doesn't matter, and I do such a small amount of freelance work that those deadlines are easy to meet. At times, I feel desperate or determined to do at least some of the things I've always wanted to do.

Altimeter Capital's Brad Gerstner is betting on some of the first quarter's biggest technology underperformers, revealing fresh Alphabet and Tesla stakes during an interview with C NBC's "Halftime Report" on Wednesday. Both Alphabet and Tesla have lagged most of their "Magnificent 7" peers year to date as they grapple with a slew of company-specific headwinds. Despite the recent mishaps, Gerstner views Alphabet as a "super capable" company with "extraordinary resources," highlighting monetization potential within search among the reasons for diving back into shares.

CNN —Last week, I ditched work one day and went to a matinee at a local AMC theater. It was a Timothée Chalamet movie, because statistically of course it was. There are few things this movie nerd loves more than a big, loud sci-fi fantasy epic on an IMAX screen. It’s as if big movie chains are responding to the dire warnings about the death of their industry by deciding they’ll simply force-feed their remaining audience as much monetizable property as possible. Long live the fun movie theater experience, which is totally possible!

Just days before, Zhang bought several expensive life insurance, travel insurance, and accident insurance policies, prosecutors said. Local media, citing prosecutors, reported that Zhang had claimed $7,200 from one insurer, but this money would be seized. The department's chief inspector, Tom Hill, said an increasing cost of living may push people to consider insurance fraud.

That's over a 2000% gain, compared to 83% for the S & P 500. While the absolute numbers were uninspiring, the relative performance, versus the S & P 500, was even more discouraging. Of the 49 double-bagger-plus names, only 21, or 43%, outperformed the S & P in the next year, with 28, or 57% underperforming. It generally relies on earnings growth, often before those profits emerge, but eventually as the company's sustaining force. Does that mean buying NVDA is safe, because of that earnings growth rate?

Semiconductor stocks got a lift from the rising tide of artificial intelligence. The divergence between semiconductor stocks that are doing well and those that aren't is becoming starker, UBS said. It's "increasingly hard to place all semiconductor stocks in one single bucket," UBS said in a March 5 note. "The performance divergence between semiconductor stocks has been strong [year-to-date] and warrants attention," it added. UBS said while one group of stocks has "significantly" outperformed — artificial intelligence-related semiconductor stocks and semiconductor capital equipment stocks (excluding China) — another group has "materially trailed" — analog and microcontroller semiconductor companies.

So, in the wake of the (notably bi-partisan) House bill, some Americans are already volunteering to buy TikTok — such as former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. These investors would include private equity funds, hedge funds, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, mutual funds, and, of course, banks. That's what Steven Mnuchin and everyone else who wants to buy TikTok are planning to do. That's why Mnuchin made his announcement on CNBC this morning — to let every investor on the planet who might give him money to buy TikTok know that he's raising money to buy TikTok.

The Trump administration used delegated authorities under three trade laws to unilaterally levy tariffs without Congressional approval. The Trump administration tariffs kickstarted a shift in supply chain strategy which, according to Frank, became more well-developed by customers during Covid, when they contemplated moving factories and production out of China. He expects any increase in tariffs during a second Trump presidency to lead to a greater shift in trade from China to Mexico to avoid the tariffs. "If you charge tariffs to China, they're going to build ... their car plants here and they're going to employ our people," Trump said. S&P Global research shows that China's share of the imports of products covered by tariffs imposed by the Trump administration has dropped.

Watching the Oscars doesn’t usually require an instruction manual. One: Be in your preferred watching position — popcorn popped, possibly in a “Dune” bucket, Snuggie on — an hour earlier on Sunday. And two: When we say 7 p.m., we mean what-was-until-2-a.m.-on-Sunday 6 p.m., because — that’s right — daylight saving time is here once again. Don’t forget to set your clocks — if you still have clocks — forward an hour. You may have heard that “Oppenheimer,” with a pack-leading 13 nominations, is a lock to win best picture.
