The New Republic | Trump Has Made Bank Off Stocks From Companies With Federal Contracts by Edith Olmsted
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Donald Trump has reportedly profited from millions of dollars in stock trades involving tech firms and government contractors that benefit from federal contracts, including Nvidia, AMD, Palantir, and others, according to a financial disclosure cited by NOTUS. The filing shows he bought sizable positions in Nvidia in early February and January 2026—coinciding with the company’s AI chip deals with Meta and subsequent approvals for sales to China—while also purchasing AMD stock that was later cleared for Chinese customers, and repeatedly buying and selling Palantir shares around large Department of Homeland Security contracts and his own public calls for investors to buy the stock. In the first quarter of 2026, Trump shifted from bonds to more than 3,600 individual trades, prompting the White House to claim his family was unaware of the transactions, a stance critics denounce as blatant corruption and market manipulation by the president who oversees the very agencies awarding these contracts.

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
On Wednesday, May 13, CNBC’s analyst‑call roundup highlighted a series of upgrades and price‑target changes across a range of stocks. Oppenheimer reiterated an Outperform rating on Nvidia, projecting a $265 target and a near‑2.5% dividend yield if half of its free cash flow is returned to shareholders. Daiwa upgraded Apple to Outperform with a $325 target, citing its strong ecosystem. UBS raised KE Holdings to Buy, citing upside in tier‑1 Chinese cities, while Argus upgraded Wendy’s to Buy ahead of a potential go‑private deal. Truist moved Sensata Technologies to Buy, pointing to a stabilized auto business and AI exposure. Bank of America reinforced its Buy stance on Micron and Nvidia, lifting Nvidia’s target to $320 and Micron’s to $950, driven by AI‑related memory demand. Additional upgrades included Concept Therapeutics (Buy, $72 target), Zebra Technologies (overweight, $305 target), CoinShares (outperform), Akamai (Buy, $175 target), NextDecade (Buy, $11 target), Vestis (outperform), Unusual Machines (Buy), Heico (Buy), Mosaic (outperform), Venture Global (Buy, $17 target), and several others with price‑target adjustments and rationale ranging from sector strength to turnaround potential.

US Top News and Analysis | AI super rally has retail investors acting the most aggressive since trading frenzy during Covid
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Retail traders are showing their most aggressive bullish behavior since the Covid‑driven surge, snapping up call options on Cboe’s “Mag 10” stocks (the seven mega‑caps plus AMD, Palantir and Broadcom) at the strongest 10‑day pace since 2021, with 52% of new positions being call‑buys and only 17% call‑sells, indicating a shift away from hedging. Call premiums on out‑of‑the‑money Nasdaq‑100 contracts have risen to a 52‑week high, and the index has set a new record, up more than 16% year‑to‑date, propelled by a semiconductor rally that now comprises nearly 20% of the S&P 500. This concentration has driven options traders toward single‑stock bets, widening the Cboe S&P 500 Constituent Volatility Index relative to the VIX, while Robinhood data shows retail investors heavily buying tech giants such as Nvidia, Tesla, Micron, AMD and Microsoft and shorting laggards like Costco, UnitedHealth and Alibaba.

AI isn't just hungry for GPUs anymore — it's eating CPUs too.
In 2026, server CPU lead times have stretched up to a year, prices are up 20%, and both Intel and AMD are sold out. The culprit? The shift from AI training to real-time agentic AI, which is pushing CPU-to-GPU ratios from 1:8 toward 1:1 in data centers.
If you're managing IT assets, this changes your buying AND selling calculus. We break down what's driving the crunch, what's coming next (hint: Nova Lake and Zen 6 are both delayed to 2027), and how to turn the shortage to your advantage.

US Top News and Analysis | Semiconductor names make up a big portion of this week’s most overbought stocks
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Semiconductor stocks dominated this week’s most‑overbought list, with six chip makers—including AMD, ON Semiconductor, NXP, Microchip, Texas Instruments and Analog Devices—flagged by a 14‑day RSI above 70 as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq rallied on optimism around U.S.–Iran peace talks and strong AI‑related demand; Texas Instruments surged after beating Q1 earnings and posting upbeat guidance, while AMD and Intel also rose on broader CPU demand. United Rentals and West Pharmaceutical joined the overbought ranks, whereas defense names such as Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, RTX and L3Harris fell into oversold territory amid easing Middle‑East tensions, and Tractor Supply dropped sharply after weak quarterly sales, highlighting a market increasingly narrowed to semiconductor performance.

US Top News and Analysis | Buying chip stocks is getting pricey. Traders don't care
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Semiconductor stocks have surged, with the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) up over 30% this month and implied volatility rising, making options increasingly costly. The rally intensified after Intel posted earnings that lifted its shares 23% and pushed its market value above $400 billion, while AMD jumped 15%. Memory makers Micron and Sandisk see strong bullish option signals, with calls outnumbering puts two‑to‑one and call premiums four times higher than puts. Nvidia, though less volatile, still attracted heavy call buying, highlighted by a trader purchasing 7,500 $230‑strike calls worth $413,000 ahead of its May 20 earnings, reflecting continued trader confidence despite pricey options.

I tried out the Gemma AI models from Google, running locally on my AMD APU (Ryzen 7 Pro 7840U with Radeon 780M) and asked it some questions about ZFS send / receive.
gemma-4-26B-A4B-Q4_K_M:
14.29 tok/sec . The information, it generated, was factually correct and well laid out. Not the fasted, and surprisingly good.
gemma-4-E4B-Q4-K_M:
26 tok/sec. The information was completely wrong BS with made up parameters. The presentation was confident and well laid out. But it generated it quickly 😂
Bottom line: confidently incorrect at high speeds.

I started out as @monkeyninja and eventually decided I wanted to run my own Mastodon instance, so here we are. I'm a dad, devoted husband to @oceanic, DevOps Engineer turned DevOps Manager, GenX geek, #ActuallyAutistic, #Jewish and wishing Israel would just stop fucking murdering people for like 30 seconds. I write about navigating life in #chronicpain, #technology, #bigotry, #ttrpg, #politics, and occasionally I'll share some of my #recipes. My kiddo is "The Zergling." I want them to have anonymity and I want them to feel that if what they were assigned at birth doesn't fit as they get older that they have choices. So until they're old enough to decide who they are and the extent they want their life online, you'll never see me post a photo of them and unless I slip up, you'll never see me post their gender. Profile photo is of me, cisgender white guy, wearing sunglasses and a black t-shirt that reads "Hilarious joke from film and or television show of which we're both familiar," sipping tea out of a white tea cup. Header is a clip from the comic "Crow Time" by Secondlina_Isa. It is a white background with a cartoon pigeon in the center, its head poking through the middle of a slice of toast with the caption "Existential Bread" on it. -- If you're wondering how my bio got so long and you run your own instance, edit /app/models/account.rb and set the NOTE_LENGTH_LIMIT variable to be whatever you want.

Looks like the latest available drivers from #AMD (26.2.2 at the time I’m writing this) for my system now come with an #AI bundle option where it installs several applications with AI components.
This is thankfully not enabled by default but that may change in future versions so maybe just keep your eyes open when running driver updates if you’re on AMD hardware like I am.
It feels like a losing battle at this point to try and keep AI away from my life but fuck it…it’s my life and I get to pick which hill I’m going to die on.
