Tony Swatton is a blacksmith and gem cutter from England. His forgery The Sword and the Stone has been in operation for more than 25 years and he's got some huge clients, like Hollywood. His creations have appeared in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "X-Men" films.

In a healthy capitalist system, if the thing you are doing is not adding value in the real economy, you should not be able to make money at it for very long.

Hot dogs are a classic American food, and I've tried nearly every one. 

After eating hot dogs from Burger King, Shake Shack, Five Guys, and Checkers, it surprised me to admit that Burger King serves the best hot dogs.

Grilled hot dogs were only added to the menu a month ago and have been receiving mixed reviews.

But after several of our readers expressed their regard for Costco's hot dogs, I decided to see what all the hype was about.Hollis Johnson

Apple revealed a new phone on Monday: the iPhone SE. It's not a cutting edge phone.

It takes Apple's current-generation technology and sticks in a case that first went on sale in 2013. The iPhone SE can't do anything previous iPhones haven't been able to do.

Except that it retails for just under $400 without a contract. 

That's the lowest price tag that a new iPhone has ever had, and it basically means that the world's most profitable smartphone just got a price cut. Читать дальше...

Omega Advisors, the $5.2 billion hedge fund led by Leon Cooperman, said it has received a Wells Notice, Bloomberg News reports citing a person familiar.

A receptionist who answered the phone at Omega said the firm has "no comment."

A Wells Notice is a letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission sent to firms when the agency is planning to bring an enforcement action against them.

Almost one year ago, Cooperman wrote a letter to his investors... Читать дальше...

With respect to time, we are all on equal footing. We all have just 24 hours in a day.

In my five year study of the daily habits of the rich, I found that successful people figure out how to leverage time better than the rest of us. They get others to help them pull their cart, in order to move forward in achieving their goals and realizing their dreams.

Ten people working together for one purpose equals 240 hours each day, one hundred equals 2,400 hours each day and so on. Читать дальше...

Chick-fil-A is quietly reinventing itself, from the outside as well as within. The fast-food chain, famous for its crispy chicken sandwiches and its founder's staunch Christian faith, is embracing a new, more inclusive culture."We are not a political organization. We are not a social change organization. We are a restaurant," David Farmer, Chick-fil-A's vice president of menu strategy and development, said during a tour of the company's Atlanta headquarters.

Blaze Pizza is on fire.

The chain, which is backed by basketball star LeBron James, tripled its sales to $101 million in 2015 compared to the previous year, according to Nation's Restaurant News. Same-store sales grew 7% over the same time period.

Blaze doubled its locations last year, growing from 50 units at the end of 2014 to 105 at the end of 2015.

The company is planning to have roughly 210 locations in operation by March of 2017 and expects to be... Читать дальше...

Apple announced its new iPhone, the iPhone SE, on Monday.

Think of it as the iPhone 6S stuffed in the body of an iPhone 5S. It has most of the features of the 6S, but in a smaller, 4-inch frame.

We got to briefly test the iPhone SE at Apple's event at its campus in Cupertino, California. Here's our hands-on look:

This is the iPhone SE. It looks almost identical to the iPhone 5S.

It now comes in rose gold, just like the iPhone 6S. Читать дальше...

After 2015's "The Ridiculous 6," Adam Sandler returns to Netflix with "The Do-Over."

The second film from his four-movie deal with Netflix, "The Do-Over" features Sandler as a bank manager whose life gets complicated thanks to his friend (David Spade). 

The short teaser doesn't show much of the plot, but Netflix's description says, "The life of a bank manager is turned upside down when a friend from his past manipulates him into faking his own death and taking off on an adventure."

Monday morning started off with a bang, as both Marriott and Sherwin-Williams announced multi-billion dollar mergers with Starwood Hotels and Valspar respectively.

Assuming regulators allow the deals to go through, these companies are poised to be global hotel and paint giants.

But but companies don't buy each other just to increase their footprints. They do it to increase value for shareholders.

One way managers do this is by cutting costs through... Читать дальше...

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Jeffrey Gundlach, the widely followed investor who runs DoubleLine Capital, foresees a "global growth scare" between now and the end of the summer, triggered by a presidential nomination of Donald Trump.

"That is where I see the vulnerabilities," Gundlach said in a telephone interview on Monday. Trump's protectionist policies could mean negative global growth, Gundlach warned. "As he gets the nomination, the markets and investors are going... Читать дальше...

Unidentified gunmen attacked a hotel in Mali's capital Bamako on Monday that had been converted into a base for a European Union military training mission in the West African nation, a Defense Ministry official and a witness said.

"The attackers tried to force through the entry and the guards posed in front of the entrance opened fire. One attacker was killed. The gunfire continued for several minutes," said one witness near the Nord-Sud hotel.

Stocks went nowhere on Monday after last week saw the major averages move back into the green for the year.

The biggest story, though, was the ongoing saga at pharmaceutical giant Valeant, which somehow took an even stranger turn to start the week.

First, the scoreboard:

• Dow: 17,618, +16, (+0.1%)
• S&P 500: 2,050, +1, (+0.1%)
• Nasdaq: 4,805, +10, (+0.2%)
• WTI crude oil: $41.70, +1.4%

All self-made millionaires had to start somewhere.

Much of their transformation from ordinary to seven-figure status can attributed to "rich habits," a term coined by Thomas C. Corley, who spent five years researching the daily habits of 177 self-made millionaires.

"From my research, I discovered that daily habits dictate how successful or unsuccessful you will be in life," he writes in his upcoming book "Change Your Habits, Change Your Life." "There is a cause and effect associated with habits. Читать дальше...

"Shark Tank"/ABC

Vengo Labs founding CEO Brian Shimmerlik not only had the confidence to demand that "Shark Tank" investors Kevin O'Leary and Lori Greiner adjust their joint offer before he would accept their $2 million, he had the tact to pull it off.

Shimmerlik and his cofounder, Steven Bofill, left the Tank with $2 million in venture debt, to be paid over three years at 7% interest, in return for just 3% equity of their digital-vending-machine company.

Your iPhone's bright blue display doesn't have to hurt your eyes at night anymore.

Apple has introduced a new feature called Night Shift for the iPhone and iPad that automatically makes the display's color palette warmer as the sun sets. It's available in iOS 9.3, a software update Apple is releasing for everyone on Monday.

Who wants to leave the house to buy a 1.5-ton belt sander? Thankfully, that and millions of other items are only a click away on Amazon.

It's not surprising that you can buy some wild items on Amazon, but it is a little shocking that many heavy items — including the belt sander — ship for free. 

It's impossible to calculate exactly how much Amazon has to dish out to ship these heavy objects — that depends on where you live, and which warehouse has the item. Читать дальше...
