What should non-wealthy investors be doing in their 30's to have a real, positive impact on their financial situation?

So I don't make that much money, and neither does my wife. Like for sure less than 100k each in a high-expense region. I always feel like investors on Reddit have hundreds of thousands of dollars to throw at this, and I just do not. However, I want to make the absolute most of the money we do have to save and invest, and I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job so far. I opened my Roth IRA in 2023 and I'm up 270% since then. My wife's is up 40% over the last year (made hers much more recently). M

Why the US-Iran deal may fail to revive shipping through the Strait of Hormuz

As US President Donald Trump moves to reopen the Strait of Hormuz through a peace deal with Iran, major shipping companies such as Maersk are likely to stop short of resuming normal operations in the near term amid lingering concerns about the waterway’s security and the durability of the agreement, according to observers. Some industry insiders said the deal’s impact on the global shipping industry would hinge on whether the United States extended sanctions relief beyond the initial agreement,.

State of Global Oil Inventories Ruins Iran Peace Optimism

As oil benchmarks crash and Brent slips below $80 per barrel, a growing number of analysts are sounding an alarm: Hormuz may reopen, but oil production in the region would not rebound immediately—and the world’s oil inventories are depleting. Back in May, Carlyle Group’s Jeff Currie warned that by July, parts of the world would face what he dubbed “minimum operational levels” of crude oil supply due to depletion resulting from storage withdrawals to avoid shortages amid the Hormuz crisis.

The Diesel Demand Shock Nobody Is Pricing In

The Truck Exception Isn't as Big as You Think When I recently argued that the internal combustion engine may already have passed its peak, many readers responded with a familiar objection. Cars are one thing, they argued, but trucks are different. Passenger vehicles can be electrified because they drive predictable distances, return home every evening, and increasingly benefit from lower operating costs. Long-haul trucking, by contrast, depends on heavy payloads, long distances, and energy densi

Trump likes Canada’s Chinese EV deal, Carney says after chat caught on hot mic

US President Donald Trump is happy with Canada’s arrangement to allow a capped number of Chinese electric vehicles to be imported at a low-tariff rate, Prime Minister Mark Carney said. When asked about Carney’s comment, Trump did not express explicit approval, but said he could understand the quota. The deal, unveiled during Carney’s trip to Beijing in January, allows as many as 49,000 Chinese EVs in a 12-month period at a tariff rate of around 6 per cent, with that quota to climb gradually over

One video captured a tree in the middle of a farmer’s field, just as the fog was about to dissipate, “like an ink painting”, Beijing News said. Then people began flocking to the area to take photos. It was the only tree in hundreds of acres of wheat field. The tourists called it the “lonely tree” and said that after seeing it,.

Bloomberg Intelligence Podcast - Mandeep Singh’s AI commentary sounds like word salad pretending to be analysis

I’ve been following Mandeep Singh’s AI commentary for a while now, and the more I listen to him, the more it feels like he’s trying to sound smart rather than actually explaining anything clearly. His latest comments on Bloomberg Intelligence are a perfect example. He throws around terms like hyperscaler, frontier LLM, AI compute rental, coding agents, neocloud, leaderboard, token pricing, AI application domain, capex, and higher-margin revenue. All the right buzzwords are there. He knows the wo
