Rich Repetto Joins Tradeweb Markets (NasdaqGS:TW) Board Enhancing Audit and Risk Expertise
Tradeweb Markets recently appointed Rich Repetto to its Board of Directors, coinciding with a 5% share price increase over the last month. This leadership change may have impacted investor confidence, suggesting enhanced governance and strategic oversight. The company's Q4 and full-year 2024 earnings were positive, with notable increases in revenue and net income, likely underpinning the stock's movement. Market conditions were turbulent, with the Dow and S&P 500 experiencing significant declines due to economic concerns and tariff impacts, yet Tradeweb's shares rose, indicating robust institutional and investor backing despite broader market strains. The company's collaboration with Coremont to integrate fixed income execution workflows could signal potential growth opportunities. Moreover, the increased quarterly dividend and ongoing share buyback program further reinforced investor confidence, potentially contributing to Tradeweb's recent price improvement against a backdrop of challenging market conditions.

Financial Experts: These Are the Top Mistakes Americans Make When Investing in the Stock Market
There's no reason you should lose money investing in stocks, considering that the markets always move higher over time. This decade alone, the S&P 500 has risen by about 88%. Just investing in an S&P 500 fund could have helped any investor generate solid profits. But a lot of investors still take a beating on Wall Street because they make common mistakes that can be easily avoided. Read Next: Check Out: Here are the top mistakes Americans make when investing in the stock market, according to three financial experts contacted by GOBankingRates. Also see the No. 1 mistake Americans make with their Roth IRAs, according to experts. Misjudging risk was cited by Christine Chase, vice president and financial consultant at Fidelity Investments. More precisely, she cited a tendency to misjudge risk tolerance, which means too many investors either take on too much risk or are too conservative. Both extremes can negatively impact your return. 'Excessive risk can lead to emotional decision-making and panic-selling during market downturns, while being too conservative may prevent your portfolio from growing enough to meet long-term goals or keep pace with inflation,' Chase said. To help manage risk and navigate the market's ups and downs, she recommended maintaining a well-diversified portfolio and working with a financial professional. Be Aware: Anthony Grosso, a New York-based financial strategist and mortgage loan originator, told GOBankingRates the biggest mistake he sees people make is 'blindly trusting the news' when investing. He learned this lesson himself as a younger investor. 'What I learned fast is that by the time something makes [it to the news], the market has already reacted,' Grosso said. 'The news isn't meant to educate — it's there to get clicks and views. They will spin a story, beat a topic to death until you're panicked or euphoric, and both of those times are when you make emotional decisions which are the worst ones.' If you do watch the news, he recommended doing so with a healthy dose of skepticism. 'Try to get reports of the actual data — not someone's opinion on the data,' Grosso said. 'Learn to make your own opinions and it will give you the confidence to have a plan and stick with it.' Not cutting losses is a mistake that happens a lot, according to Edward Corona, a Florida-based trader and publisher of The Options Oracle Newsletter. In fact, it happened to him early in his career. 'I'd hang onto trades way too long, convincing myself they'd bounce back,' Corona told GOBankingRates. 'I'd look at charts, squint real hard, and try to find a reason to stay in. You know the drill: 'It's just a dip,' or 'I'm down, but not that much…'' The problem, he said, is that small losses can 'turn into portfolio wreckers real fast' if you stay with a sinking stock too long. His suggestion is to have a plan in place before hitting the 'buy' button and sticking with that plan when an investment goes south. 'I'm going to have a predetermined 'stop loss' and 'take profit' level before I enter the trade, which would be based on a support level,' Corona said. 'If it breaks below that level, I will exit the trade and redeploy the capital elsewhere.'

Broadcom's AI Bonanza Has Limits
Broadcom AVGO -5.00%decrease; red down pointing triangle is making a lot of money by helping tech companies manufacture custom chips that speed up artificial-intelligence computations. Investors seem to be giving it too much credit for that. Broadcom's stock is the fifth-best-performing in the S&P 500 over the past two months, rising more than 70% over the period—a stunning rise given the company's already large size. It eclipsed a $1 trillion valuation on the way up, surpassing Walmart and Tesla, and becoming the seventh-most-valuable listed U.S. company. A large measure of the excitement is justified. Years ago, Broadcom began helping Google make AI chips, an interesting but not wildly profitable side hustle at the time. The AI boom completely changed that. Alphabet's Google rushed to order more custom chips to infuse AI in its search engine, among other things. New customers, including Meta Platforms, lined up. Broadcom now expects $5.1 billion of revenue from AI processing and networking chips in its current quarter, up 60% from a year before and roughly a third of overall projected sales. It delivered another set of strong quarterly results Thursday and a revenue outlook that exceeded analyst forecasts. There remains room to run in custom AI chips. They are gaining traction among big tech companies looking for alternatives to Nvidia's popular and expensive AI chips. Morgan Stanley estimates the custom-chip market will be valued at around $30 billion in 2027, up from $12 billion last year. The road to reaching those numbers isn't as obstacle-free as Broadcom's market value may suggest, however. Custom-chip projects require hundreds of millions of dollars of upfront investment and often don't meet hoped-for performance goals. Google's latest custom AI chips are about half as good as their Nvidia counterparts, TD Cowen analysts estimated in a recent report—right at the threshold where producing them makes financial sense. In a February report, Morgan Stanley analysts said performance problems with custom chips were 'a more common complaint than people think.' Those issues mean big tech companies will hedge their bets and keep turning to Nvidia for a large slice of their AI computing needs. Morgan Stanley analysts estimated Friday that Google would increase spending on its custom chips by between 10% to 20% this year, but would triple or quadruple spending with Nvidia after previously skewing its spending in the other direction. Once they are in production, custom chips typically cost a fraction of the $30,000-plus Nvidia charges for its most advanced chips. But they aren't always a slam dunk on cost, because big computing systems jam-packed with custom chips often have to use optical networking technology that is more expensive than Nvidia's copper-wire systems. Then there is the cost of developing software that tells the custom chips what to do—a chore Nvidia's customers can largely avoid. External threats hang over Broadcom's custom-chip business as well, including a competitive market in which U.S. chip maker Marvell and Taiwan's MediaTek are increasingly nipping at its heels. Politics could also interfere with its growth: While Broadcom hasn't yet had to grapple with U.S. restrictions on sales to China, like Nvidia has, analysts believe one of its biggest clients is ByteDance, TikTok's Chinese owner. In a call with analysts Thursday, Chief Executive Hock Tan offered little assurance that Broadcom was insulated from export restrictions. 'Nobody can give anybody comfort in this environment,' he said. In the long run, Broadcom's biggest challenge may simply be that its market is more limited than Nvidia's. Custom AI chips are all the rage now, but Nvidia plays in a much bigger pond: The broader AI chip market is expected to grow at a 23%-annual pace in the next half decade to hit nearly $500 billion by 2030, according to a recent assessment from analysis firm TechInsights. Because of their development costs, custom AI chips will almost certainly continue to be the domain of well-heeled tech companies, not a wider swath of corporate and government customers. All those concerns would be easier to shrug off if it weren't for Broadcom's valuation. The company's forward price/earnings ratio of 33.6 is at a 23% premium to the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index, near the highest premium Broadcom has commanded in at least a decade. It is also at a 13% premium over Nvidia. Broadcom has found a profitable niche for itself in the AI boom. But it is a less-comfy one than many investors think. Write to Asa Fitch at
