India’s hospitals desperately need the metal cylinders to store and transport the lifesaving gas as patients across the country gasp for breath. So a local charity reacted with outrage when one supplier more than doubled the price, to nearly $200 each. The charity called the police, who discovered what… Source link

President Biden is wrapping up a historic first 100 days as president of the United States. With the Dow up 3375 points, or 11%, it would be the second best 100 days’ performance in 100 years — handily beating the median Dow return of 2% and the average of 5%. Only former President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s sky-high return of 75% in the 1930s fared better. “Love him or hate him, stocks have voted and they love him… Considering stocks also had their best rally ever from Election Day until… Source link

That’s nearly twice the reduction President Obama aimed for, and the most aggressive American effort yet to address global warming. Biden has also set goals of eliminating greenhouse gas emissions in the power sector by 2035 and in the overall economy by 2050…. Source link

Tyler Goodspeed, former acting chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under former President Trump, told Yahoo Finance Live all that spending is not prudent at a time when the… Source link

Despite Republican opposition in Congress, majorities of Americans favor every key aspect of President Biden’s infrastructure plan, according to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll. The survey of 1,649 U.S. adults, which was conducted from April 6 to April 8, found that most (51 percent) say they would support “another big legislative package to invest in America’s infrastructure and combat climate change”; far fewer (30 percent) say they would oppose it.

Tesla shares (TSLA) are getting a nice pop on Monday following much better than expected first quarter delivery numbers, but the real upside to shares in the medium-term will be in part due to efforts out of the Biden administration to get people into electric cars.  Or so says Wedbush tech analyst Dan Ives, who lifted his rating on Monday to Outperform with a $1,000 price target.
