By the closing bell, ZIM’s stock was up a good 25%, though it briefly threatened to achieve orbit earlier. Thirty-five percent! That’s practically a hostile takeover of good sense! But hey, who am I to judge? I once tried to corner the market on inflatable swords.
It appears the Former Oracle, in his final quarter of overseeing Berkshire Hathaway’s hoard, decided to lighten the load. Not just lighten, mind you, but to positively shed holdings in companies that, until recently, were considered sacred cows. Amazon, Apple, Bank of America… all trimmed, pruned, and, in some cases, rather brutally hacked back. It’s like a gardener deciding, in the autumn of his years, that roses are overrated and he prefers turnips.2
Joshua Dennerlein, a name now momentarily etched against the backdrop of these transactions, has reinstated his ‘buy’ recommendation for S&P Global. A price target of $575 per share—a figure that feels less like a prediction and more like an aspiration, a hopeful reaching towards the sun. It’s a curious thing, this act of assigning value. As if one could truly capture the essence of a company within a single number.
The fund’s previous allocation, a mere 1% of its total holdings, has now vanished. One wonders if anyone at Black Swift truly noticed its departure. These percentages, so meticulously tracked, often seem to exist more for the comfort of analysts than for any genuine impact on performance.
Trilogy Metals, engaged in the exploration and development of copper, gold, and silver resources, reported a net loss of $42.4 million for fiscal 2025, a substantial increase from the $8.6 million deficit recorded in fiscal 2024. General and administrative costs also rose, increasing to $1.3 million from $1.2 million. The absence of a reported top-line revenue figure complicates a comprehensive assessment of the company’s operational efficiency. While the company highlights its projects, the underlying financial trajectory warrants scrutiny.
Realty Income. The name sounds like a threat from a loan shark, but they deal in real estate, not broken kneecaps. Since 1969, they’ve been handing out monthly checks, a steady drip in a world of quarterly storms. Thirty years of annual increases. That’s not luck; that’s a business built on solid ground. They’re a REIT, which means they’re legally obligated to share the wealth, paying out at least 90% of their taxable income. Currently, they’re offering around 4.92% annually, a decent enough return in a world where savings accounts are practically decorative.
Gemini released its preliminary figures for the year ahead, a glimpse into a future still shrouded in mist. Revenue, they project, will reach between $165 and $175 million—a harvest not unlike the previous year’s $141 million. Though respectable, it echoes the consensus, a quiet affirmation rather than a triumphant surge. The numbers, like the turning of the seasons, are predictable, yet hold their own melancholy beauty.
You see, price strength without a healthy dose of expanding volume often indicates that traders are sprinting ahead with the enthusiasm of a cat in a room full of laser pointers-aggressive positioning rather than widespread conviction seems to be the name of the game here. But fear not, dear buyers; they continue to valiantly defend the $0.031 region on the daily chart as if it were the last slice of pizza at a party.
Ondas’s subsidiary, Sentrycs, has successfully deployed its counter-unmanned aircraft systems to our friends in Germany. They’ll be tasked with safeguarding large events and sensitive missions, a duty that suggests a certain lack of faith in humanity’s better impulses. One hopes they’ll be used to protect art, rather than simply prevent its disruption. Though, given the current state of artistic endeavour, the distinction is becoming increasingly blurred.
Trading volume was a rather robust 56.6 million shares, about 50% above the three-month average. Which, when you think about it, is a lot of shares changing hands. Vale itself has been around since 2002 – a mere blink in geological time, but a decent run for a publicly traded company – and has, since its IPO, grown by a rather impressive 607%. It’s enough to make one ponder the sheer scale of the global iron ore market. Truly.
