As if there wasn't already enough pressure.

Reviews for Samsung's latest, greatest, and hopefully non-exploding Galaxy S8 are starting to hit the web, and there's universal praise among the tech press. After years of shamelessly copying Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) designs (and getting sued for it), Samsung has truly come up with an innovative and unique design that looks nothing like anything out of Cupertino. Even a longtime Samsung critic like myself has to acknowledge that it's a pretty great-looking phone, especially when it comes to the display and virtual lack of bezel.

In retrospect, given Apple's decades-long obsession with rounded corners (dating back at least three decades), it's kind of curious that the iPhone maker has never made a display with rounded corners, particularly since Apple controls the operating system, too. Apple even once scored a dubious design patent that was literally (only solid lines are covered by the patent, while dashed lines are for illustration) nothing more than a rectangle with rounded corners. Rounded corners are just one aspect that makes the Galaxy S8's display look so polished and easy on the eyes, and this is becoming a trend among Android OEMs. (webOS had rounded corners, if you even remember what that is.)

  The THAAD system is designed to shoot down short- and medium-range ballistic missiles on their descent. The Lockheed-manufactured system with Raytheon (NYSE:RTN) radars attracted attention in the last year as the primary U.S. deterrent to North Korean rockets over the Pacific. It's also a potential deterrent to Iran, which is why the system is of interest to both Saudi Arabia and Israel among other U.S. allies in the region.

• [By Reuben Gregg Brewer]

  Shares of Raytheon (NYSE:RTN) rose 13% in February according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. It was a continuation of a trend for the military industrial company, which gained roughly 21% in the first two months of the year. That February gain, meanwhile, easily outpaced the performances of some of its largest peers. But the news driving it really started in January.

  It could also slow down efforts led by Raytheon (NYSE:RTN) and Lockheed Martin to modernize missile defense and stunt work being done at Northrop Grumman (NYSE:NOC), Boeing (NYSE:BA), General Dynamics (NYSE:GD), and others to modernize the U.S. nuclear triad.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By ]

  My intent here isn't to scare you with alarming statistics. I just want to call attention to the problem -- to underscore the investment potential associated with the companies that can help fix it. Between the critical need for infrastructure spending and powerful demographic trends, it's easy to see the robust growth potential ahead for companies that specialize in the purification and delivery of clean drinking water.
  Xylem (NYSE: XYL), which makes water pumps and filtration equipment, has doubled to $80 per share over the past three years. Roper Technologies (NYSE: ROP), a leader in smart water-metering technology, has gained 32% this year and 100% over the past three years. Idex (NYSE: IEX), which supplies parts and equipment to water treatment plants, has delivered annual gains of 24.3% the past three years, crushing the 5.1% of the average industrial-sector stock.

• [By John Rotonti]

  On the other hand, the right investments in R&D efforts to develop new products and services can help companies differentiate themselves from competitors and build sustainable moats. Xylem (NYSE:XYL), a leading pure-play water technology provider, has increased its R&D investments as a percentage of sales to accelerate the pace of innovation across its product portfolio. 3M (NYSE:MMM), with its diversified product portfolio and strong focus on innovation, is another example.

• [By Joseph Griffin]

  Xylem Inc (NYSE:XYL) has been assigned an average rating of “Buy” from the fifteen ratings firms that are covering the company, MarketBeat.com reports. One research analyst has rated the stock with a sell recommendation, five have issued a hold recommendation and nine have issued a buy recommendation on the company.

Zacks Investment Research cut shares of Trillium Therapeutics (NASDAQ:TRIL) (TSE:TR) from a buy rating to a hold rating in a research note published on Saturday morning.

According to Zacks, “Trillium Therapeutics Inc. is a clinical stage immuno-oncology company developing innovative therapies for the treatment of cancer.

  As for the companies themselves, familiar names in the top 10 include Walmart's (WMT) Mexican and Central American division Walmart De Mexico, Brazilian miner Vale (VALE) and energy stock Petróleo Brasileiro (PBR). The top 10 holdings account for 55.5% of its $1.5 billion in net assets.

  At times, that philosophy is correct. But it's often better to wait for the impact of the bad news to become clear before buying. That approach explains why I recently told my Profit Amplifier readers that my indicator tools have a "buy" signal on mining giant Vale S. A. (NYSE: VALE). 

• [By Dan Caplinger]

  Companies often have to make key decisions in the face of competitive pressures, and investors can't always quickly tell which moves will prove best. For the marijuana industry, one company's trash was another's treasure, while with Brazilian mining giant Vale (NYSE:VALE), a key executive move showed just how seriously the company is taking a recent disaster.

  Penny Stocks to Buy: Trivago (TRVG) Source: Tobias Arhelger / Shutterstock.com

  Last up on this list of penny stocks is Trivago. A hotel booking platform, Trivago suffered along with the rest of the travel sector due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This is evidenced in its earnings results from the first quarter of 2020 to 2021, where revenues tanked in a big way. However, in its most recent quarter, revenues rose to 95.5 million euros ($112 million), growing by 493% YOY. Therefore, TRVG stock appears to be back in business and should do well as the pandemic eases.

• [By Jeremy Bowman]

  Shares of Trivago (NASDAQ:TRVG) were slipping last month after the hotel meta-search site delivered an underwhelming fourth-quarter earnings report and seemed to get pressured by weak guidance from rival Booking Holdings (NASDAQ: BKNG), as well as broader concerns about the industry.

Best Casino Stocks For 2022

tags:CAJ,SSD,WWD,CHMG,

Last week, Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) released its latest long-term forecast for the electric vehicle (EV) marketplace. The analysts are forecasting that sales of light-duty vehicles (passenger cars, pickups, and SUV/crossovers) will rise from around 1% in 2016 to 54% of all vehicle sales by 2040. By that time, one-third of the entire global fleet will be electrified.

BNEF attributes the projected soaring growth to rapidly falling battery costs and increased commitments from carmakers like Volvo, which also announced last week that by 2019 all its new cars would include some type of electrification. The analysts expect sales of EVs to remain relatively low until 2025 and then reach an inflection point between 2025 and 2030 as EVs “become economical on an unsubsidized total cost of ownership basis across mass-market vehicle classes.”

The cost of lithium-ion cells has dropped by 73% since 2010 according to BNEF analyst Colin McKerracher. To keep up with global demand, a total of 35 plants equal in size to Tesla Inc.’s (NASDAQ: TSLA) Gigafactory are going to be required over the next 13 years.

  Verizon (NYSE:VZ) (NYSE:VZA) is the largest wireless carrier in the U.S. and is well-known to income investors.

That said, although finding a better-paying income stock may be difficult, it's certainly not impossible.

Top 5 Dividend Stocks To Own For 2022

tags:TLK,APH,UBOH,UNS,GD,

Consumer-safety advocates and autonomous-vehicle experts criticized Tesla Inc. for issuing another statement about the death of a customer that pinned the blame on driver inattentiveness.

Days after publishing a second blog post about the crash involving Walter Huang, a 38-year-old who died last month in his Model X, Tesla issued a statement in response to his family speaking with San Francisco television station ABC7. The company said the “only” explanation for the crash was “if Mr. Huang was not paying attention to the road, despite the car providing multiple warnings to do so.”

“I find it shocking,” Cathy Chase, president of the group Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, said by phone. “They’re claiming that the only way for this accident to have occurred is for Mr. Huang to be not paying attention. Where do I start? That’s not the only way.”

Groups including Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety and Consumer Reports have criticized Tesla for years for naming its driver-assistance system Autopilot, with the latter calling on the company to choose a different moniker back in July 2016. The two organizations share the view of the National Transportation Safety Board, which has urged carmakers to do more to ensure drivers using partially autonomous systems like Autopilot remain engaged with the task of driving. The U.S. agency is in the midst of two active investigations into Autopilot-related crashes.

A modern aircraft carrier does not sail alone but rather relies on a large number of escorts and affiliated ships that also need to be acquired and staffed. There is also the expense of finding pilots for the large number of planes that are housed on a carrier.
