  • New York affordable internet law revived by federal appeals court

    A divided federal appeals court revived a 2021 New York state law intended to provide affordable high-speed internet service to low-income families, setting aside a permanent injunction and handing a defeat to service providers. In a 2-1 decision on Friday, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said federal telecommunications law dating to the Great Depression did not pre-empt states from regulating broadband rates. "Congress intended for the states to retain their regulatory authority over many interstate communications services - and to play a role in regulating the rates charged for such services - unless it said otherwise," Circuit Judge Alison Nathan wrote.

  • The 'Mag 7' is over, look to energy instead: David Bahnsen

    With a slew of tech earnings arriving this week and inflation remaining stubborn, many on Wall Street are focused on the "Magnificent Seven" — Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), NVIDIA (NVDA), Meta (META), Microsoft (MSFT), and Tesla (TSLA) — which have driven rallies in the past.  The Bahnsen Group CIO David Bahnsen joins Market Domination to give insight into the recent slate of earnings and how the tech sector is evolving beyond previous top names. Bahnsen discusses the problem with investors relying on high valuations as a standard: "High volatility is a byproduct of a high multiple that is totally disconnected from reality. So expensive stocks get more expensive until they don't. But it's impossible to gauge, judge, and certainly time. But you saw already this year earnings season, Facebook just getting ripped apart yesterday and yet Google rallying today. The Mag Seven is over. It doesn't exist as a monolith anymore.
