Nvidia has been a leading semiconductor stock for the past few years. Believe it or not, semiconductor chips are used for far more than just powering smart devices and electronics, so it's no surprise that semiconductor stocks have been particularly strong gainers as the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution unfolds.

Commodore Matthew Perry may not have enjoyed the same level of prestige as his older brother Oliver Hazard Perry, who famously defeated the British fleet at the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812—but that was about to change. In July 1853, the American naval commander was on the cusp of accomplishing something few other mariners had done. The smoke-blowing steam engine of the paddle frigate USS Mississippi, whose construction the commodore had personally supervised, propelled the vessel into Tokyo Harbor, to the dismay of Japanese onlookers lining its shores. As was customary during any visit to a…
1. Kamala Harris has been accused of avoiding interviews, but she will finally be interviewed on CNN tonight along with running mate Tim Walz. Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders believes Walz is joining the trend because some of Kamala's recent comments have many Democrats thinking she needs a babysitter. 2.

Asia Pacific Wire and Cable Corporation Limited (NASDAQ:APWC) has a price-to-earnings (or “P/E”) ratio of 8.7x, which may make it look like a good buy right now when compared to the U.S. market, where roughly half of the companies have P/E ratios above 19x and quite a few have P/E ratios above 33x. However, it would be unwise to take the P/E at face value as there may be a reason why the P/E ratio is so limited.

It's muggy and rainy outside an unassuming, multi-building government building in Lakewood. Inside, a group of about two dozen people are preparing to enter another world.They don hats and gloves and wander into a giant freezer, where the shelves are packed with long, shiny, cylindrical tubes.

They are doctors, nurses and other health care workers.”We have ice exhibits that people can look at, including ice from Greenland,” said Richard Nunn, the museum's associate curator. “The temperature in this room is…
