Winning the war in Ukraine is about more than just numbers

A common question the media asks is how much money Russia has left to sustain the war against Ukraine. In response, experts discuss the burgeoning budget deficit, high interest rates, anemic investment and the fact that war costs have caused sharp reductions in public sector salaries, pensions, health and education.
Everyone is waiting for a gamechanger that hasn’t arrived yet. The recent increase in the global oil price offers only marginal benefit to Russia, since 20 to 40 percent of its oil export capacity has been rendered at l

Abundant Mines CEO says Bitcoin mining now offers 100% first-year tax write-off

As tax season approaches, Bitcoin mining is drawing renewed attention for reasons that have little to do with hash rate or price forecasts. Changes to U.S. tax law have turned mining equipment into one of the most aggressive write-off strategies available to investors willing to own the hardware.
During a recent interview with TheStreet Roundtable, Beau Turner, CEO of Abundant Mines, said the shift began in mid 2025, when full bonus depreciation was restored for qualifying equipment.

Short seller Michael Burry just took a swipe at another richly valued stock: Tesla (TSLA).
Burry, who rose to fame shorting the housing market during the 2008 financial crisis, dubbed the EV maker as "ridiculously overvalued" in a Substack post on Sunday. Business Insider was first to report on Burry's latest missive.
His post took aim at the "tragic algebra" of stock-based compensation, and Tesla was an example. Tesla dilutes its stock by 3.6% a year, he said, and offers no buybacks.
"Tesla's market capitalization is ridiculously overvalued today and has been for a good long time," Burry s

Chile votes for its next president and parliament on Sunday in a contest expected to favor the right as candidates play on popular fears over organized crime and immigration. On the surface, Sunday’s election offers Chileans a dramatic choice between two extremes: Jeannette Jara, 51, a card-carrying communist and former labor minister in the left-wing government, and, among other right-wing contenders, José Antonio Kast, 59, an ultraconservative lawyer and former lawmaker who opposes abortion and vows to shrink the state.
