What the new China chip taxes tells us about doing business in Trump's America
Imagine living in a country where private companies need the government's permission to do business. Depending on your age, you might think I'm describing Soviet-era Russia — or Russia in the Putin era. You'd certainly think about modern-day China, where the government is an official partner in many private companies, and has unofficial but meaningful influence over most of them. And in 2025, you might also think that's beginning to describe America in the second Trump administration. Last week, for instance, Donald Trump called on the CEO of Intel to resign because of his past business connections to China. In June, Trump approved Nippon Steel's plan to buy US Steel — but only after the US government was granted a " golden share" in the company that gives Washington the ability to approve or veto some actions, like closing plants. In January, Trump floated the idea of having the US government own a portion of TikTok's US operations. And now Trump is requiring Nvidia and AMD to hand over 15% of revenue from high-end chip sales to China, as first reported by the Financial Times. (Nvidia has released a statement noting it "follow[s] rules the US government sets for our participation in worldwide markets," without addressing reports about the deal directly; AMD and the White House have yet to comment.) You can make arguments for or against any one of these transactions — US chip sales to China have been a particularly divisive issue, even within the Trump administration. But taken together, there's little question that in Trump 2.0, we should expect the federal government to insert itself into private business. Call it "state capitalism, a hybrid between socialism and capitalism in which the state guides the decisions of nominally private enterprises," Wall Street Journal columnist Greg Ip wrote Monday morning. It's an exceptionally timely piece he appears to have written before the Nvidia/AMD story broke, because it doesn't contain any reference to it. (You can make the list of Trump's interventions even longer if you'd like: He personally required former Paramount owner Shari Redstone to pay him $16 million to settle a seemingly specious lawsuit, for instance. And Brendan Carr, the Trump-appointed head of the Federal Communications Commission, has required Paramount's new owners to promise to " root out the bias that has undermined trust in the national news media." You could also include the concessions Trump is demanding from some of the nation's most prestigious universities and law firms.) The chip story is particularly hard to get your head around, since it inverts the premise of the tariff plans Trump has been pushing this year. Instead of taxing goods made overseas and imported into the US, the US is now taxing goods made by American companies, in America — the thing he supposedly wants to see much more of. It's not surprising to see Donald Trump say one thing and do another. And half a year into his second presidency, it's no longer surprising to see the Republican-controlled Congress let him do just about anything he wants: This is the same Congress that passed a law last year requiring TikTok's US operations to find a US buyer or shut down — and hasn't said a word about the fact that Trump has decided to ignore that law, repeatedly. And again, you might not care about the moves the Trump administration has made to steer companies to date. You might even like them. But the odds are increasing that he's going to end up involving the federal government in an industry or company you do care about. Maybe one you work in. How are you going to feel about it then?

This Car Made Shelby Walk Away, And Sparked an Italian Revenge
Read the full story on Modern Car Collector A nearly forgotten piece of motorsport history is roaring back to life—and into the auction spotlight. The De Tomaso P70, a radical Can-Am prototype from the mid-1960s, has been fully restored after decades of obscurity. But its legacy is more than mechanical. It's a story of ambition, betrayal, and a feud that fractured one of racing's most famous figures: Carroll Shelby. In 1964, Shelby, riding high on the success of the Cobra and his work with Ford, joined forces with Italian industrialist Alejandro de Tomaso. Their goal: to create a cutting-edge Can-Am car that could dethrone McLaren. Designed by Shelby's trusted partner, Peter Brock, the De Tomaso P70 was meant to marry American muscle with Italian innovation. It featured a lightweight chassis, sleek bodywork, and a Ford V8—on paper, a winning formula. 10 Must-Have Tools and Gear for the Modern Car Collector (Amazon Edition) But the partnership unraveled quickly. Tensions flared between Shelby and de Tomaso over delays, engineering decisions, and communication breakdowns. Shelby, frustrated and convinced the project was doomed, walked away. De Tomaso pressed on, reworking the P70's DNA into what would eventually become the backbone of the production De Tomaso Mangusta—a car with a name that means 'mongoose,' chosen for its reputation as a cobra killer. While the Mangusta became a cult classic, the original P70 was quietly tucked away and forgotten by most. Now, after an extensive restoration, the lone prototype has reemerged—reborn in its original form and slated for auction. 12 Secret Products Serious Collectors Swear By Collectors and historians alike are watching closely. Beyond its value as a rare race car, the P70 represents a pivotal 'what if' moment in American racing. What if Shelby had stayed the course? Could it have rewritten Can-Am history? The auction may answer one question—its value—but the debate over its legacy is just getting started. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter

Those who invested in Zevra Therapeutics (NASDAQ:ZVRA) three years ago are up 102%
Explore Zevra Therapeutics's Fair Values from the Community and select yours The most you can lose on any stock (assuming you don't use leverage) is 100% of your money. But if you buy shares in a really great company, you can more than double your money. For example, the Zevra Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:ZVRA) share price has soared 102% in the last three years. That sort of return is as solid as granite. It's also good to see the share price up 53% over the last quarter. So let's assess the underlying fundamentals over the last 3 years and see if they've moved in lock-step with shareholder returns. AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. Given that Zevra Therapeutics didn't make a profit in the last twelve months, we'll focus on revenue growth to form a quick view of its business development. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually desire strong revenue growth. Some companies are willing to postpone profitability to grow revenue faster, but in that case one would hope for good top-line growth to make up for the lack of earnings. In the last 3 years Zevra Therapeutics saw its revenue grow at 36% per year. That's well above most pre-profit companies. Meanwhile, the share price performance has been pretty solid at 26% compound over three years. This suggests the market has recognized the progress the business has made, at least to a significant degree. Nonetheless, we'd say Zevra Therapeutics is still worth investigating - successful businesses can often keep growing for long periods. The graphic below depicts how earnings and revenue have changed over time (unveil the exact values by clicking on the image). You can see how its balance sheet has strengthened (or weakened) over time in this free interactive graphic. A Different Perspective It's nice to see that Zevra Therapeutics shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 77% over the last year. Since the one-year TSR is better than the five-year TSR (the latter coming in at 1.7% per year), it would seem that the stock's performance has improved in recent times. In the best case scenario, this may hint at some real business momentum, implying that now could be a great time to delve deeper.
