This Lesser-Known IKEA Section Has Products for as Low as 29 Cents

Shopping at IKEA can be fun (who doesn't love snooping around the latest room setups?), but it can also be overwhelming. With thousands of products both in-store and online, it's a lot to take in — especially in categories with dozens of options. The website is also famously tricky to navigate. I've recently found a way to streamline shopping on the site, though. If you make regular trips to IKEA, you've likely noticed their yellow tags in stores, but do you know what they signify?
For the uninitiated, these tags you see on certain products indicate that they are IKEA's lowest-priced items in a particular category — meaning they're even cheaper than the already affordable prices you'd expect from the Swedish superstore.
Despite being marked with a bright yellow oversized price tag, these products can be tricky to spot in-store, as there's no dedicated section for them. Instead they're randomly dotted around the entire showroom, which them easy to miss amongst the thousands of other products on display. Recently, though, I discovered a somewhat-hidden page on IKEA's website that displays all the yellow tag items in one place (and most of them are shoppable online, too).
With a whopping 296 items (at last count), this section of IKEA's website has products for every room in the home with prices starting at just 29 cents. You can sort by price to browse all the yellow tag items from lowest to highest. Alternatively, you can filter by category to see the cheapest items in every section, and you can then further sort by price.
Whether you're shopping for big pieces like beds, shelves, or even kitchen appliances, or smaller decor items like vases and tableware, you'll likely find at least one unbelievably low-priced yellow-tagged item in each category (hello, $50 ottoman and $15 nightstand). Browse the home textiles section for instance, and you'll find curtains, rugs, and bedding, many of which cost less than a fiver!
Yellow tag pieces aren't discounted or limited-time offers — instead they're pieces designed to keep prices as low as possible without compromising IKEA's standards. On some of their European websites, IKEA describes these pieces as 'breathtaking items because their prices are so low, it really takes your breath away.'
IKEA is already known and loved for its unbeatable prices, but this online section makes it easy to score even bigger savings on everything you need to kit out a home, without having to step foot in a store.

How drones & AI are changing the defense sector & warfare
The growing frequency of wartime drone attacks is causing a shift in the nature of both the defense sector and modern warfare. Tony Bancroft, Gabelli Funds portfolio manager, joins Asking for a Trend with Josh Lipton to discuss the outlook for the use of drone technology, artificial intelligence (AI), and automation in warfare. Bancroft also shares some of his top stock picks in the defense sector, including parts-makers like Textron (TXT), Honeywell (HON), L3Harris (LHX), and Ducommun (DCO). To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Asking for a Trend here. There's a shift on the horizon in modern warfare. Ukraine recently dealt a blow to several Russian air bases with the use of drone attacks. As of February 2025, tactical unmanned aerial vehicles account for 60 to 70% of damaged and destroyed Russian systems. That's according to the Royal United Services Institute. For more on the changes to modern warfare and ripple effects for the defense sector, we have Gubelli Funds portfolio manager Tony Bancroft. Tony, it is always good to see you and the reason, of course, Tony, you are the perfect guest for this segment, is not only are you well-known analyst, you are in fact Lieutenant Colonel, uh, Tony Bancroft, United States Marine Corps. So, we we are lucky to have you. And I want to start, Tony, with those reports we saw, uh, Ukraine's really unprecedented drone operation striking deep inside Russian territory. When you saw that, Tony, when you saw those reports, what was your reaction? Thanks, Josh. Always great to be back. And you know, I think, you know, Ukraine, uh, one-upped, um, Israel on on next, uh, next level next generation, uh, warfare and you know, the US Department of Defense has taken notes, uh, and this is how things are going to be going, uh, going forward. Uh, you're going to see a lot of, uh, asymmetric warfare, obviously a lot of use of of drones and and, uh, you know, artificial intelligence and, um, cyber, you know, cyber attacks, uh, you name it. Uh, however you can imagine it is going to be how it's going to be done. And you know, that was just sort of a case in point the fact that, you know, 117, you know, how many or $1,000 drones took out a third of the, uh, third, second or third largest air forces' um, uh, strategic bomber capability is is legitimate. So, you're going to see drones, you know, be be a lot of DOD and European spending going forward. I think right now it's about 15 billion in the US DOD budget, um, and it's probably going to go to 25 billion as expected about by 2030 and and doubling that almost in 2035. So I think we we we like the industry, we like the, uh, companies that are going to supply parts to them and, uh, we're we're definitely, you know, bullish on it. What are some of those companies, Tony? Yeah, you know, we we sort of like the the parts maker. I mean, you know, I know there's a lot of drone suppliers out there but, uh, you know, companies like, um, Textron and Honeywell and L3 Harris, um, Ducommun, uh, all make, you know, all sort of make these parts that go into all these, you know, these systems that are obviously, you know, they're pretty, you know, they're pretty, uh, intricate, uh, high technology systems that need certain structures and certain, uh, electronics in them and we sort of like those those guys. And they're diversified as well because they're on multiple programs and they're also on the commercial side. And, uh, they're they're good cash flow businesses with, you know, long secular tailwinds. I have to ask you a broader question, maybe, you know, as as you talk about how you you think maybe the the future battlefield changes and yes, it'll still involve tanks and fighter jets and battleships that more increasingly rely on AI and autonomous systems. Is the US well prepared for that shift, Tony, in your opinion? You know, I think they are. I think the US is actually, um, I I I I I think sometimes, you know, the the narrative is that the US is is fighting the last battle and and and and it's somewhat true. And that's somewhat true always when you talk about, you know, warfare. I'm sure all the way back to to Sun Tzu and and you name it. Uh, but the US is pretty capable and the weapon systems we have are are are lethal and you know, we're still by far the largest drone builder in the world. I mean there's, you know, as far as for military drones. Um, you know, uh, the US is is the most dominant. Always have been and I think will we will continue to be. And we'll we'll we'll sort of we'll pair that with, uh, you know, with our with our manned systems that are able to control it. You know, a lot of this is going to come down to as as we go further into it, you know, who is going to be able to essentially out hack who or who is going to be able to jam out jam who. And at some point you're probably going to need, you are going to need some type of, uh, manned manned system that can be closest, you know, the node they would they would call it, be closest to, uh, you know, the the autonomous systems or or things that are are capable of being jammed. And you're you're going to need the systems that the US has like the F-35 along with our, you know, the collaborative, uh, collaborative combat aircraft and other and other systems. There's a lot that we have and our long-range fires are by far dominant, you know, when when it comes to, um, being able to reach out and touch somebody.

Online Trading Platform eToro Stock Hits Record High as Analysts Begin Coverage
Shares of online trading platform eToro Group traded at a record high Monday after analysts began coverage of the stock with positive comments. The online trading platform received a "Buy" rating from Jefferies, and "Neutral" ratings from UBS and Citi. The company began publicly trading last of eToro Group Ltd. (ETOR) surged Monday morning after several analysts initiated coverage of the online trading platform with positive comments. Jefferies gave the stock a "Buy" rating, with a 12-month price target of $80. The analysts wrote that the company is "well-positioned to benefit from the growing adoption of retail investing globally." They noted that eToro's strength in the European Union (EU) and U.K. markets, along with its "differentiated product offering and distinguished brand," put it in a unique position to boost its account base. UBS began its coverage with a "Neutral" rating and $70 price target. The bank's note to investors, entitled "Grabbing Global Retail Investors by the Horns," contained a similar phrase, "well positioned to benefit from increasing retail participation in financial markets, which has been accelerating in the last few years." Still, it noted that since eToro is a newly public company—it began trading last month—it "still has to demonstrate that it can execute on product and market expansion, while near-term results could be volatile." Citi also gave a "Neutral" rating, putting the price target at $72. However, the analysts there also added that it was "high risk," explaining that while they "remain constructive on the health/resiliency of the retail segment and bullish on the outlook for European retail specifically," they see "some challenges as well." The ratings news sent eToro Group shares up 8% to about $74 in recent trading after earlier hitting a record-high $76.75.
