The biggest market gains don't always go to the investors who buy first. Sometimes they go to the ones who have enough cash left when everyone else is rushing for the exits.
Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban made that case last week on the "Diary of a CEO" podcast, urging investors to be patient as AI-related stocks surge. His advice is to resist the urge to chase every rally, keep some cash available and wait for the market to turn. That's when he believes the real opportunity appears.
"When that happens, that's when the real magic happens and where the real money is made," Cuban said. "The delayed gratification."
Cuban's approach reflects a lesson he ***** ociates with late Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK) (NYSE:BRK) Vice Chair Charlie Munger. In a conversation about long-term thinking and the temptation of get-rich-quick schemes, he pointed to Munger's belief that meaningful rewards require patience and effort.
"Even Charlie Munger used to say it all the time, right? There's no delayed gratification anymore. Never," Cuban said. "And if you don't realize you have to do the work first, you're not going to get the gratification."

High street lender Barclays has become the latest bank to introduce a ***** per switching bonus for customers.
Customers could get up to £600 when switching to a Barclays account, making it the highest-paying deal on the market.
However, there are a few hoops to jump through if you want the full £600, and not everyone is eligible for the free cash.
The £600 offer is only available to those who switch to a Barclays Premier account. It pays customers £350 for switching, plus £150 in monthly rewards. Neither is subject to UK income tax.

Two years before Erika Hammond joined Season 16 of The Real Housewives of New York City, she made headlines for her extremely lavish wedding to husband Ankur Jain. In April 2024, the couple tied the knot at the base of the Great Pyramids in Egypt.
Now, their relationship is back in the spotlight on RHONY, and from Hammond's Bravo bio, it seems that their wealth will be highlighted on the show. "[She has] built a life surrounded by extraordinary luxury complete with her own private island, where she whisks the women away for a one-of-a-kind getaway," the bio reads.
Below, we rounded up everything to know about Jain's company and billionaire status, as well as his relationship with the new Bravo star. Scroll down for more.
Jain is an entrepreneur and investor who is the founder and CEO of Bilt Rewards, a company that allows users to earn points on rent. Per Jain's website, the company has grown to a valuation of $1.5 billion since it launched in June 2021.
He was previously the chief product officer at Tinder, a dating app that acquired his company, Humin. In 2017, he founded Kairos, "a venture studio for young entrepreneurs that helped launch and grow its partner companies to over $6.5 billion."

During market uncertainty, cautious investors may feel compelled to sell everything while they wait for the dust to settle. But Ross Gerber believes that, to paraphrase Rudyard Kipling, if you can keep your head when everyone else is losing theirs, you'll reap even bigger rewards.
The Gerber Kawasaki CEO says that while inflation, higher bond yields, oil prices, and Federal Reserve rate hikes can pressure stocks, he does not think investors should abandon equities wholesale. Instead, he advocates for a more defensive approach.
He recommends investors trim holdings with valuations that look stretched relative to their growth, build reserves in cash and short-duration fixed income **** ets, and keep long-term positions in companies that he believes still have strong earnings support, such as Nvidia.
And for investors trying to navigate an environment where corporate earnings remain strong while macroeconomic risks pressure stock valuations, that distinction matters. Gerber's framework is less about calling the market's next move than deciding which risks a portfolio can absorb—and which positions still deserve capital.
Here is a closer look at Gerber's defensive-focused strategy.

Ethereum runs smart contracts on a proof-of-stake network where over a third of circulating ETH is staked, earning low single-digit yields.
Over five years, Bitcoin gained 58% while Ethereum lost 30%, exposing a stark performance gap despite Ethereum's expanding platform usage.
Spot Ethereum ETFs exclude staking yield, and IRS tax uncertainty on staking rewards continues to limit institutional capital from participating.

Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH) is a blockchain built to run programs, which is why people point to it when they say crypto can do more than move money. Developers deploy code to it, users call that code, and the network's native token, ETH, pays for the computing power behind every transaction.

SGOV, JPST, and VTIP create a layered cash reserve covering one to five years, shielding equities from forced sales in a bear market.
Drawdowns from 2000 to 2007 and 2008 to 2013 both lasted multiple years, proving one year of T-bills forces equity sales at the worst possible time.
VTIP adjusts principal with CPI and delivers a 2.42% real yield, protecting purchasing power when inflation surprises retirees in years four and five.

You retired into a market that rewards patience and punishes forced sellers. The bucket strategy answers a single question: how much of your spending can you cover without touching stocks when the S&P falls 30%? Guess one year, and a prolonged drawdown forces you to sell equities at the bottom. Guess five, and you drag on returns. The middle path is a laddered cash reserve, and three ETFs do the heavy lifting: iShares 0-3 Month Treasury Bond ETF (NYSEARCA:SGOV), JPMorgan Ultra-Short Income ETF (NYSEARCA:JPST), and Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities ETF (NASDAQ:VTIP).

Travel credit cards offer points and miles rewards on your spending, which you can use toward travel-related redemptions, such as flights, hotel stays, and car rentals. You'll often earn the highest rewards rate on travel purchases with a travel credit card. However, many also offer boosted rewards on everyday purchases like groceries, gas, and more.
When you're comparing travel credit cards, it's useful to separate them into two distinct types: general travel rewards cards and co-branded airline and hotel credit cards.
With a general travel credit card, you'll have a number of flexible redemption options when you're ready to redeem your points and miles.
Travel card issuers generally have their own travel portals, like Chase Travel or American Express Travel, where you can book flights, hotels, rental cars, and more. These programs also have a number of travel transfer partners to which you can directly transfer points or miles. For example, American Express Membership Rewards points transfer to Delta SkyMiles at a rate of 1:1.
The flexibility of general travel cards means you can use your rewards to travel with different airlines or hotel brands. Each time you're ready to book, simply shop around between the portal or partners and compare the best options for your specific travel plans.

The White House said Tuesday that banning yield on stablecoins would do little to increase bank lending, pushing back against estimates that stablecoin rewards could result in large amounts of deposits leaving the traditional banking system.
In an update to an April ****** ysis by the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA), the White House said eliminating stablecoin yield would increase bank lending by about $2.1 billion under its baseline ****** umptions. That represents just 0.02% of outstanding bank loans.
Community banks would account for roughly $500 million of the additional lending, or about 0.03% of their loan books, according to the ****** ysis.

What's been exciting about Robinhood Chain (RHC) is seeing tokens attempt new mechanisms to answer questions like: why would someone hold this token? How can we make participating in this token attractive? And, more broadly, how can market activity around a token overall be designed to contribute to its success?
All new projects should ask this and the best ones do, but when you have a new chain, with a new market and new infrastructure, it can be sort of a "clean slate" or fresh design ***** e and breathe new life into the solutions to such questions.
The dominant answer right now seems to be distributions: hold this token and get stock, tokens, etc. Below are projects which execute this with a twist, expanding either the type of rewards or the source for rewards that end up in the hands of holders.
Others attempt to answer the second question, experimenting with new infrastructure that tries to make market activity, of whatever kind, directly contribute to the token's success.
These are all shared to give you a sense of what novelty can look like amidst this meta and act as a guiding force to understand what's been done, what's working, and overall where to direct your attention towards.

Boston Scientific (BSX) trades at about $43, roughly 17% below the recent high it set on 19th Aug, 2026. Its own history with sharp drops is encouraging. That history does not cover a cyberattack it says is likely to hit its 2026 results, and the stock is down about 60% over the past twelve months. Start with the history.
Since 2010, Boston Scientific has fallen 20% or more inside 30 trading days six times. Four are old enough to have a full year behind them, and all four ended higher twelve months later, at a median gain of 18%. The two most recent are too young to have a one-year result.
Collecting that gain was uncomfortable. Among those four, the median buyer sat through a further 17% decline first, and the worst further fall in the whole record was 44%. The median peak gain of 30% took about 226 days to arrive, close to seven and a half months. Waiting, not timing, is what that history rewards.
The record behind those medians is below.
BSX had 6 events since 1/1/2010 where the dip threshold of -20% within 30 days was triggered

Conagra Brands, Inc. (NYSE:CAG) faces a governance test alongside its turnaround. Reuters reported on September 7 that Institutional Shareholder Services, or ISS, recommended opposing executive compensation, citing weak financial performance and inadequately explained incentive targets.
The September 23 non-binding advisory vote covers fiscal 2026 named-executive compensation. It does not separately approve new CEO John Brase's package. Brase succeeded Sean Connolly on June 1, after fiscal 2026 ended, separating his compensation arrangements from the prior year's pay decisions.
The proxy lists Brase's annual base salary at $1.15 million, his annual incentive target at 150% of eligible salary, and annual long-term incentives of $7.3 million, split 60% into performance shares and 40% into restricted stock units. Incentive opportunities are not guaranteed realized pay.
Conagra Brands, Inc. (NYSE:CAG) needs executives willing to work through changes whose benefits may take several years to appear. Brase's priorities include restoring margins, investing in brands and the supply chain, simplifying operations, and rebalancing capital allocation.
A mix of performance awards and service-based equity can support that effort. Performance shares link rewards to results, while restricted units help retain leaders through disruption. Retention has value if it allows management to complete difficult changes instead of optimizing the next quarterly result.

Bayern Munich scored five goals against Norwegian underdogs FK Bodø/Glimt. The rust in the Bavarians was evident as they struggled to build rhythm. The second half turned out to be a much better affair as Vincent Kompany's men found their feet and blew their opponents away.
Alphonso Davies, Joshua Kimmich and Michael Olise were frontrunners who woke the rest of the team up with their individual brilliance and finally reaped their rewards in the second half with deserved goals and ***** ists. Luis Diaz had an off day and was perhaps the only starter who couldn't pick himself up before the end of the game.
Without further ado, here are the match awards from Bayern Munich's first game and first victory of the Champions League season.
While Bodø/Glimt as a unit were fantastic in capitalizing on Bayern's rustiness by isolating the attackers, they failed to make scoresheet gains. In Bayern's emphatic attempts to crack the Bodø code, there were a few vulnerabilities especially early into the game. With some more numbers, the Norwegians could have sneaked at least one goal. Helmersen's shot at Neuer's open goal was a brave lone effort from his pressing.
Nonetheless, Kjetil Knutsen and his team deserve a shoutout for executing a great low-block. Nikita Haikin, the starting goalkeeper made some important saves and kept the game even. Unfortunately, he had to leave the pitch after the first half due to injury.

Manchester United have announced a multi-million pound, multi-year shirt sleeve sponsorship deal with British financial technology company SumUp.
United had been without a sleeve sponsor since the four-year partnership with DXC Technology came to an end in the summer.
The SumUp branding will be seen for the first time on Thursday, when United return to the Champions League with an Old Trafford encounter with Azerbaijan champions Sabah. It will be worn by the club's men's, women's and academy teams across all competitions.
United also say they will launch a "co-branded payment card" with SumUp, "which will offer fans special offers and rewards when used with official club outlets, as well as businesses across the UK".
The club's chief business officer Marc Armstrong said: "SumUp is a rapidly growing global business and we are delighted to welcome them to Manchester United as our official sleeve partner.

DBS has introduced two new payment cards, Chromo and TravelLah!, aimed at spending habits and preferences among Gen Z customers in Singapore.
The Singapore-headquartered lender stated that both products are designed to help young adults "maximise rewards" on daily spending and "get more value" when they spend overseas.
DBS launched Chromo on 5 September. It described Chromo as the first credit card in Singapore designed to "automatically adapt" to the spending habits of Gen Z customers.
The card provides bonus cashback on a customer's top two eligible local spending categories each month, removing the need for cardholders to pre-select categories.
DBS Singapore Payments and Unsecured Lending head Chan Sow Han said: "Young adults in their 20s are navigating one of the most dynamic stages of their lives, often marked by shifts in income, interests and financial priorities.

Ohio State is now 1-0 following an impressive season opener against Ball State last Saturday.
The Buckeyes finished their first game of the season with a rousing 56-3 victory. The dominant win was witnessed by more than just the 100,000-plus fans that filled Ohio Stadium, as Ohio State was also playing host to multiple recruits Saturday as well.
Ryan Day and the coaching staff may already be reaping the rewards of the first win, as the Buckeyes opened up the week being included in multiple top schools lists for some of the nation's top talents.
2028 five-star wide receiver Braylon Clark (Charlotte, NC / Providence Day School) released his top 12 schools Monday, and Ohio State made the cut.
However, as a top 12 implies, Ohio State still has competition in recruiting Clark. LSU, Alabama, Oregon, Tennessee, Miami, Clemson, Texas A&M, Indiana, Texas, South Carolina and USC all also made his top schools.

Does Milwaukee have the best fans in Major League Baseball?
Yes, with a caveat, says former Cincinnati Reds star Joey Votto.
On the MLB Network show "MLB Now" Sept. 4, Votto praised the Milwaukee Brewers for having the best MLB fanbase, Reds fans aside, of course.
"During the [2010s], I remember quite vividly them not being a strong club, and I remember our team, the Cincinnati Reds, having stretches of not being a strong club and our fanbase wouldn't show up," Votto said.
"But I remember in Milwaukee, consistently they showed up when the Brewers weren't a strong team, and I thought to myself, 'This does not get enough credit. This is a fanbase that always supports their team and will at some point have a strong club and be able to reap the rewards from their consistent effort.'

Nvidia's less famous telecom investment had more than doubled on paper by midyear. In October 2025, NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) agreed to invest $1 billion in Nokia at $6.01 per share. Nvidia's Q2 13F valued the stake at about $2.2 billion as of June 30. The marked gain is impressive, but the strategic prize is larger: Nokia Corporation (NYSE:NOK) and Nvidia are developing AI-RAN technology intended to carry artificial intelligence from data centers into mobile networks and eventually 6G.
NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) wants the network itself to become accelerated computing infrastructure. If radio access networks adopt software-defined, AI-enabled architectures, Nvidia can sell computing, networking, and software into a market beyond hyperscale data centers. The bull case is that inference moves closer to users and telecom operators use spare network capacity for AI workloads. The bear case is timing. Standards, carrier budgets, and commercial rollouts move slowly, making near-term revenue difficult to separate from long-term vision.
Nokia Corporation (NYSE:NOK) gains a strategic partner, capital, and access to an AI platform that can make its radio portfolio more competitive. A successful AI-RAN transition could improve product differentiation and create recurring software opportunities. Yet Nokia must balance that promise with operator spending cycles, intense competition, and the risk that open architectures reduce hardware pricing power. A valuable Nvidia stake does not by itself repair telecom margins.
The partnership is therefore an option on convergence. Nvidia supplies the compute ecosystem; Nokia supplies carrier relationships and radio expertise. Each fills a gap the other cannot quickly build. However, investors should not treat the June valuation as a realized return or ***** ume 6G revenue is imminent. The commercial value emerges only when operators deploy systems at scale and disclose credible returns with attractive economics across multiple markets.
Hedge-fund participation increased in both names. Nvidia ownership rose to 285 funds in the second quarter from 275, while Nokia ownership increased to 81 funds from 66. Fisher ***** et Management raised its Nvidia stake 3% to 90.9 million shares, and Marshall Wace increased its Nokia position 232% to 33 million shares. As of August 14, 43.2 million Nokia shares were sold short, only 0.75% of the float and 0.6 days of average trading volume. The low reported short-interest percentage shows limited reported short positioning, but it does not identify the holders or tell us why those positions exist. Nvidia's paper gain rewards the entry price; the real upside depends on AI-RAN becoming a commercial bridge to 6G.
