Bay Area garbage collection resumes after tentative agreement ends lengthy strike
Garbage haulers in many Bay Area cities are back on the job from a weeks-long strike after union officials from Teamsters Local 439 announced they'd negotiated a new contract with waste-hauling giant Republic Services. 'We're feeling great,' Local 439 President Rick Buzo said Saturday. 'We got our members exactly what they deserved.' Republic Services, in an emailed statement, confirmed it had reached a tentative agreement with union officials for its Forward Landfill employees, who they said would be returning to work Saturday. 'We appreciate the community's patience throughout this situation, and we will work hard to catch up with needed recycling and waste collection as quickly as we can,' the statement read. The strike originated in the Boston area, where more than 400 Republic Service workers represented by Teamsters Local 25 have been on strike since July 1. Since then, Republic Service workers across the country have joined the strike out of solidarity, with more than 2,000 Republic workers honoring picket lines, the Teamsters said this week, adding that picket lines had extended to Los Angeles and Youngstown, Ohio. 'Our members are everyday Americans performing essential services across our communities, but Republic is unwilling to offer workers good wages, decent benefits, or a fair contract,' Teamsters General President Sean M. O'Brien said in a statement Tuesday. 'The American public needs to understand that Republic Services and its overpaid, corrupt executives own this strike. Their greed is forcing trash collectors and waste haulers across the country out into the street. We don't want this garbage piling up. We want to return to work. But we refuse to be exploited.' The company initially offered a 1.7% raise, which amounted to 30 cents per hour for employees making $20 an hour — and no relief on health care, which was costing some employees $1,200 per month. 'We don't do 30-cent raises,' Buzo said. After waiting about a month to see whether Republic Services would provide a better deal, the landfill workers voted overwhelmingly to strike. The union started the strike at the company's landfill in Manteca, then asked its commercial and residential waste haulers — whom it already represented and who already had negotiated contracts — to join the picket line. Odorous bags of waste began piling up in residential areas across Northern California, causing officials in many cities to ask residents to take their garbage to specified drop-off sites. The strike impacted areas across Northern California, as far south as Half Moon Bay, in communities such as San Jose, Richmond, Suisun City, and all the way to Stockton. The pressure tactics led mayors in many local cities to call on Republic Services to come to an agreement and threaten to cut ties with the company if it did not. Earlier this week, Stockton Mayor Christina Fugazi wrote on social media that the city was experiencing 'a health and safety crisis' because Republic Services was not fulfilling its contract, warning the company that if it did not come to an agreement with the union and provide a rate cut to customers 'you will no longer have a contract with the City of Stockton.' On Friday, Contra Costa County Supervisor John Gioia touted the agreement on social media, telling residents that as of Monday, 'your garbage will be picked up on the regularly scheduled day.' 'The County is moving forward with demanding rate relief for residents,' he added. Buzo said the tentative agreement — to be voted on Sunday morning — provides a five-year contract for members, with better wages and significantly lower health care costs. 'They work dangerous jobs,' he said. 'We're glad they can go to get medical treatment without hesitation.'

The Financial Times was first to report on the move by President Trump that will allow 401(k) retirement accounts to invest in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Dogecoin (DOGE), and possibly other alternative assets beyond stocks and bonds. Other alternative assets that might be approved for retirement accounts include gold and private equity investments. President Trump will reportedly direct regulators to clear any hurdles to investing in crypto and other alternative assets. BTC rose above $120,000 in early trading on July 18 on reports that President Trump is planning to allow crypto in traditional investment accounts. Bold Move Until now, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin had been barred from 401(k) retirement accounts in the U.S. as they had been deemed too risky. However, President Trump was re-elected last year on a promise to make the U.S. the 'crypto capital of the planet.' Since returning to the White House in January of this year, Trump has enacted several pro-crypto policies. The president himself is a crypto investor. News of the addition of crypto to retirement accounts comes a day after the passage of the GENIUS Act cryptocurrency legislation in Congress, which is viewed as a milestone for digital assets.

‘A Make or Break Moment,' Says Top Investor About Palantir Stock
Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) stock continues to spark debate among investors. While the company is delivering impressive results, driven by a rapidly expanding client base across both public and private sectors, its soaring valuation has raised eyebrows. PLTR now trades at multiples more than 10–20× above typical software peers, prompting questions about how much higher it can realistically go. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Make smarter investment decisions with TipRanks' Smart Investor Picks, delivered to your inbox every week. That kind of meteoric rise places investors in a tricky predicament – one can admire the company's trajectory yet hesitate to buy in at such elevated levels. Top investor James Foord articulates this tension well, noting that while Palantir's story remains compelling, the narrative could shift dramatically if upcoming earnings fail to meet the market's lofty expectations. 'Stories and sentiment can change, and the next earnings could be the catalyst for this,' explains the 5-star investor, who ranks among the top 2% of TipRanks' stock pros. Yet, for now, the prevailing sentiment remains optimistic. Foord doesn't necessarily foresee an imminent drop. Instead, he emphasizes the market's broader enthusiasm around Palantir and argues that the company could eventually be crowned a member of the 'Magnificent 7' tech elite. Foord attributes much of Palantir's rise to a potent combination of factors: 'larger-than-life' leadership, a promising tech stack, and the broader AI boom that has fueled investor excitement across the sector. As Morgan Housel famously put it, 'the best story wins,' and Palantir is a textbook case. Its secretive government contracts, ambitious AI platform (AIP), and aura of mystery give the stock an almost mythic appeal. But that same opacity is a double-edged sword. If AIP's value is overestimated or rivals catch up, the story could unravel quickly, especially as operating margins, currently around 44%, may already be peaking. Even a modest slip in profitability could shake investor confidence. Is now a good time to invest in Palantir stock? Foord believes the upside outweighs the risk, despite acknowledging the high-stakes nature of the bet. 'The big upside potential is taking center stage, but there's also a big downfall potential for Palantir if the AI darling falls out of favor,' he concludes, while maintaining his Buy rating on the stock. (To watch Foord's track record, click here) Meanwhile, Wall Street is taking a more cautious stance. With 10 Hold ratings, 3 Buys, and 3 Sells, analysts give PLTR a consensus Hold (i.e. Neutral) rating. Moreover, the average 12-month price target of $104.85 suggests a potential downside of ~32% from current levels.
