I found a framed stock certificate in my late father’s things. How do I find out if it’s worth anything?

Some people inherit mom’s dusty old china, or dad’s vintage stamp collection. People leave all sorts of odd things behind when they die, some of which have sentimental value but not much financial worth.

But what if you come across a framed stock certificate? Does that fall into the category of collectible, or could it actually be worth money? The answer is going to depend on a couple of different factors — but it’s absolutely worth looking into.

Jim Cramer on Shopify: “You Want to Buy It When the Stock’s Ice Cold”

Sat, 09 May 2026 18:47:54 +0000

Originally published by Yahoo Finance

Shopify Inc. (NASDAQ:SHOP) is one of thestocks Jim Cramer shared his thoughts on as he discussed Big Tech’s AI spending. Cramer called the company the “envy of many businesses,” as he said

Or how about Shopify? I just interviewed Harley Finkelstein, the president… yesterday. If you’re a small to medium-sized business, Shopify lets you compete with the heavy hitters online. An economy that’s filled with Gen Z side hustlers or small businesses seeking to be big ones pretty much runs on Shopify fulfillment. The company just reported an outstanding 34% revenue growth, but it did guide for future growth to slow to the high 20s.On that, the stock has now plummeted from $182 in October to $127 on Monday, then $105 as of today, after it sold off in response to earnings. Wow, look at that trajectory. But Shopify’s the same fabulous company, the first choice for so many startups that will inherit the earth. You don’t want to buy this thing when it’s running, when its sales are strong, everybody thinks the stock is headed to the moon. You want to buy it when the stock’s ice cold, yet the business remains very good. It’s now de-risked, and it’s still the envy of many businesses, including several that have tried to acquire them.

Jim Cramer on Arista Networks: “Time to Buy”

Originally published by Yahoo Finance

Arista Networks Inc. (NYSE:ANET) is one of thestocks Jim Cramer shared his thoughts on as he discussed Big Tech’s AI spending. Cramer explained why the company’s stock declined, as he stated:

Often, we miss these moves because it’s hard to pull the trigger on something when it’s down and out, which is exactly what you have to do. Look at the incredibly good Arista Networks getting pummeled today. This data center networker has always been in the winner circle under the excellent leadership of Jayshree Ullal. When you dig into why the stock plunged 13.6% today, you find that Arista beat the estimates but failed to raise its forecast, which is, of course, the kiss of death in a tech-driven market. But wait a second. Why didn’t Arista raise the forecast?Why didn’t anyone look at this? It’s not because the demand isn’t there, that would be bad. It’s because company’s supply constraint. They said the problem could persist for one or two years… That’s a tough one, right? But I think having more demand than you can handle for multiple years is a pretty high-quality problem, especially because I think that Jayshree will solve this. I believe in Jayshree. I think Arista stock now reflects the fears, fears that I bet will prove to be wrong. Time to buy.

The Nobitex dilemma: How Iran's biggest crypto exchange stays off the OFAC blacklist

Sat, 09 May 2026 17:42:09 +0000

Originally published by Cointelegraph

Iran entered the final night of February 2026 under a near-total internet shutdown. In the wake of a joint strike by the United States and Israel, Tehran almost completely severed the country’s connection to the global internet — likely leaving only users on a government whitelist with access to the outside world.

Iran’s internet formally remained part of global routing, but user activity fell almost to zero. That points to a managed restriction on citizens’ access to the external network. Source:IODA.

Most people think of a mortgage as a burden. A monthly obligation. A debt to be paid off as quickly as possible.Warren Buffettsees it differently. And his reasoning is worth understanding in any rate environment.

The Berkshire Hathaway chairman has been making the same argument for decades. He believes the 30-year fixed mortgage is one of the most advantageous financial instruments available to ordinary homebuyers. Not despite the debt, but because of it.
