Aug 10 : Retail investors who spent weeks defending SpaceX through its post-IPO run turned net sellers on Friday, marking the first such instance since the company's blockbuster debut in June. Mom-and-pop traders sold a net $4.5 million in Elon Musk's rocket company on August 7, the first net negative reading since the company went public on June 12, according to Vanda Research data. "A shift from persistent net buying to selling is rarely about one catalyst, it is usually a mix of profit-taking, position fatigue and investors reassessing the risk-reward," said Sam North, market analyst at etoro.

Unlike con

10 August 2026 Romania’s modern retail market added approximately 80,000 square meters of new retail space in the first half of 2026, compared with around 122,000 square meters in the same period last year, taking the total stock to more than 5.2 million square meters, according to Colliers’ report on the performance of the real estate market during the first six months of the year.

Everywhere I look, I see people expressing alarm about the popularity of socialism. It polls in the mid-to-high 30s, and considerably higher among younger people. Older people, who have a living memory of the various socialist regimes that once dotted the planet that at best didn’t deliver prosperity to their people and at worst threw them in jail by the thousands, can’t understand how this can be and seem to want to talk endlessly about it. I, however, marvel at the other consistent result of…
