Nvidia insiders sold over $1 billion in stock amid market surge, FT reports
Nvidia insiders sold over $1 billion worth of company stock in the past year, with a notable uptick in recent trading activity as executives capitalize on surging investor interest in artificial intelligence, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.
More than $500 million of the share sales took place this month as the California-based chip designer's share price climbed to an all-time high, the report said.
Jensen Huang, Nvidia's chief executive, started selling shares this month for the first time since September, a regulatory filing showed.

Nvidia's stock hit a record on Wednesday, and the chipmaker reclaimed the crown as the world's most valuable company after an analyst said the chipmaker was set to ride a 'Golden Wave' of artificial intelligence.
Its latest gains reflect the U.S. stock market's return to the 'AI trade' that fueled massive gains in chip stocks and related technology companies in recent years on optimism about the emerging technology.

Returns On Capital At Hiap Teck Venture Berhad (KLSE:HIAPTEK) Paint A Concerning Picture
If you're not sure where to start when looking for the next multi-bagger, there are a few key trends you should keep an eye out for. Ideally, a business will show two trends; firstly a growing return on capital employed (ROCE) and secondly, an increasing amount of capital employed. If you see this, it typically means it's a company with a great business model and plenty of profitable reinvestment opportunities. In light of that, when we looked at Hiap Teck Venture Berhad (KLSE:HIAPTEK) and its ROCE trend, we weren't exactly thrilled. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. For those that aren't sure what ROCE is, it measures the amount of pre-tax profits a company can generate from the capital employed in its business. Analysts use this formula to calculate it for Hiap Teck Venture Berhad: Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities) 0.00092 = RM1.4m ÷ (RM2.0b - RM492m) (Based on the trailing twelve months to April 2025). Therefore, Hiap Teck Venture Berhad has an ROCE of 0.09%. In absolute terms, that's a low return and it also under-performs the Metals and Mining industry average of 7.3%. See our latest analysis for Hiap Teck Venture Berhad Above you can see how the current ROCE for Hiap Teck Venture Berhad compares to its prior returns on capital, but there's only so much you can tell from the past. If you'd like, you can check out the forecasts from the analysts covering Hiap Teck Venture Berhad for free. On the surface, the trend of ROCE at Hiap Teck Venture Berhad doesn't inspire confidence. Around five years ago the returns on capital were 4.2%, but since then they've fallen to 0.09%. And considering revenue has dropped while employing more capital, we'd be cautious. This could mean that the business is losing its competitive advantage or market share, because while more money is being put into ventures, it's actually producing a lower return - "less bang for their buck" per se. In summary, we're somewhat concerned by Hiap Teck Venture Berhad's diminishing returns on increasing amounts of capital. Yet despite these concerning fundamentals, the stock has performed strongly with a 79% return over the last five years, so investors appear very optimistic. In any case, the current underlying trends don't bode well for long term performance so unless they reverse, we'd start looking elsewhere. If you're still interested in Hiap Teck Venture Berhad it's worth checking out our to see if it's trading at an attractive price in other respects.

Burglars cut through roof of El Monte jewelry store, steal $1.5 million in gold and diamonds, owners say
The owners of an El Monte jewelry store say that a group of burglars stole more than a million in gold and diamonds from their business overnight. Instead of selling jewelry as planned on Sunday, Rosanna Meza and her family are now sifting through the aftermath of the burglary. "It was our life ... and our dreams," Meza said. "They took everything from us." She says that the crew cut through the roof of their store, Meza's Jewelry on Main Street, using power tools to crack open their safes before taking off with more than $1.5 million in product, including diamond rings and solid gold chains. "My brother called me, I was at my house still, and he called me and when he told me ... everything went blank," Meza said. The crew also cut off the store's security alarms, taking them with them when they fled from the store. She says that it's not the first time they were targeted by burglars, referencing a 2023 smash-and-grab robbery in which store employees fought back against a suspect. This time though, she said things were different. "These were professionals," she said. "They cut the internet, the security alarm, the cameras. We don't have anything." This is the latest in a series of complex burglaries at Los Angeles County jewelry stores. Earlier in June, a crew used a blowtorch to cut through the wall of Encino Jewelry Mart, where five different jewelers work. In May, two different groups burglarized stores in Glendale and Simi Valley by cutting through the roof to gain entry. Meza said that they have filed a report with the El Monte Police Department, but they're unsure when they can reopen as they work to repair the damage and count their losses.
