Tesla Inc. stock has traded near $355 to $372 in late March 2026, reflecting a volatile start to the year amid softer electric-vehicle deliveries and broader market caution. Yet Wall Street bulls, including Wedbush analyst Dan Ives, are calling 2026 a “defining year” for the company, with some price targets reaching $600. While consensus analyst…

The war with Iran has upended the global energy markets. It has caused the biggest supply disruption in decades due to Iran’s attacks on oil tankers exiting the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz, which handled 20% of global oil and liquified natural gas (LNG) volumes before the war.

General Douglas MacArthur quoted from an old barracks song in his farewell address in 1951: “Old soldiers never die, they just fade away.” The adage could be aptly modified today for Warren Buffett’s stepping down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA +1.28%) (BRKB +1.32%) to: “Old legendary investors never really retire, they just keep investing.”…

How close to correction territory can an index get without officially being in correction? The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI +0.11%) appears to be testing the limits.
