Israel Conducts Strikes in Iran in Major Escalation
(Bloomberg) -- Israel launched airstrikes on Iran, in a major escalation in the standoff over Tehran's atomic program that risks sparking a new war in the Middle East. Shuttered NY College Has Alumni Fighting Over Its Future Trump's Military Parade Has Washington Bracing for Tanks and Weaponry NYC Renters Brace for Price Hikes After Broker-Fee Ban Do World's Fairs Still Matter? NY Long Island Rail Service Resumes After Grand Central Fire Explosions were heard in Tehran, according to local media. Iran had previously vowed to respond to any attack. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a statement he's declaring a special state of emergency due to Israel's 'preemptive strike against Iran.' Israel is anticipating a retaliatory drone and missile attack, Katz said in a statement. The attack came amid renewed questions about diplomatic efforts to resolve tensions over Iran's atomic work. US and Iranian negotiators are scheduled to hold a sixth round of talks in Oman on Sunday, but President Donald Trump said this week he's less confident about the chances of a deal. Oil surged following reports of the strike. Brent rose as much as 5.7%, jumping above $73 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate also rallied.

Anteris Technologies Global (ASX:AVR) investors are sitting on a loss of 66% if they invested three years ago
If you are building a properly diversified stock portfolio, the chances are some of your picks will perform badly. Long term Anteris Technologies Global Corp. (ASX:AVR) shareholders know that all too well, since the share price is down considerably over three years. Regrettably, they have had to cope with a 66% drop in the share price over that period. And more recent buyers are having a tough time too, with a drop of 62% in the last year. The falls have accelerated recently, with the share price down 35% in the last three months. So let's have a look and see if the longer term performance of the company has been in line with the underlying business' progress. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. Anteris Technologies Global isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally hope to see good revenue growth. That's because it's hard to be confident a company will be sustainable if revenue growth is negligible, and it never makes a profit. In the last three years Anteris Technologies Global saw its revenue shrink by 24% per year. That means its revenue trend is very weak compared to other loss making companies. Arguably, the market has responded appropriately to this business performance by sending the share price down 18% (annualized) in the same time period. Bagholders or 'baggies' are people who buy more of a stock as the price collapses. They are then left 'holding the bag' if the shares turn out to be worthless. After losing money on a declining business with falling stock price, we always consider whether eager bagholders are still offering us a reasonable exit price. The image below shows how earnings and revenue have tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail). Balance sheet strength is crucial. It might be well worthwhile taking a look at our free report on how its financial position has changed over time. While the broader market gained around 14% in the last year, Anteris Technologies Global shareholders lost 62%. Even the share prices of good stocks drop sometimes, but we want to see improvements in the fundamental metrics of a business, before getting too interested. On the bright side, long term shareholders have made money, with a gain of 8% per year over half a decade. It could be that the recent sell-off is an opportunity, so it may be worth checking the fundamental data for signs of a long term growth trend. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. For instance, we've identified 5 warning signs for Anteris Technologies Global (3 don't sit too well with us) that you should be aware of.

What to know about Trump's "gold card"
President Trump's website for his " gold card" that would enable successful applicants to buy U.S. permanent residency for $5 million went live this week. The big picture: Details on what the program would entail remain scant, and it may require congressional approval. State of play: Trump announced in February his plan to offer the card as a replacement for the existing EB-5 program, which has granted green cards to individuals who invest in the U.S. since 1990. The president launched a website Wednesday to allow people to register their interest in signing up for the " gold card." Successful applicants will be able to buy U.S. permanent residency for $5 million. The site, is currently only for people to register their names, email addresses and the regions they're from. What they're saying: Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said on Fox Business Network on Thursday that there is a waiting list and 25,000 people signed up in 15 hours. "At 200,000 people, that's a trillion dollars," Lutnick said. Between the lines: The card will likely require legislative support and face legal challenges if congressional approval isn't sought, immigration attorney Theda Fisher said in an email. An amendment to the Immigration and Nationality Act and the Internal Revenue Code would be required to increase the numbers of immigrant visas issued annually and to have differential tax treatment of certain permanent residents. But congressional approval to change these rules would be required. "I believe the Gold Card can be successful if administered properly as there is a lot of demand for U.S. permanent residency that would exempt an individual from tax on global income," Fisher said. "It is a dream come true for many high-net-worth individuals. Our thought bubble: Congress establishes various legal categories for allowable immigration by statute, and has not created one along these lines. Article I Section 8 of the Constitution is the real authority here. Anybody with $5 million in extra cash sitting around and a clean legal record can probably find a way get a long-term US visa, and eventually citizenship, through other means.
