Harry Potter book found in attic fetches world record fee
Rare first-edition copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, originally sold for £4.99 when it was first published in 1997, has now fetched a record-breaking £17,000 at Rare Book Auctions in Staffordshire. Book reviewer Katrina McNichol was sent the novel while working for a magazine in the Scottish Highlands and stored it away in a box for decades before it resurfaced during a loft clear-out at her Edinburgh home. The rare paperback was described as "the finest example ever to come to market" due to its near-perfect condition. The sale surpassed the previous world record for a first-order Harry Potter paperback, which fetched £12,000 last year.

80 Billion Reasons to Buy Nvidia After Its Monster Earnings Report
Nvidia has announced an additional $80 billion stock repurchase authorization following its first-quarter results, surpassing Wall Street expectations and exceeding internal guidance. This move signals a strong indication that the company is confident in its ability to sustain robust growth. If management believes its company's stock is trading below its intrinsic value, it may use excess capital to buy back shares. The company's share repurchase history shows that in August 2023, the company authorized a $25 billion buyback without expiration, followed by a subsequent $50 billion repurchase program, and then an extra $60 billion in buybacks in August 2025. Despite this, Nvidia's stock appears to be cheap and its future growth trajectory is set to take off as the AI infrastructure era takes off.

Most of us retire earlier than planned. Here are the top reasons
A report by the Society of Actuaries Research Institute has revealed that over half of retirees stop working earlier than expected, often due to circumstances beyond their control. The report found that 59% of retirees left the workforce before they had expected, while only 6% retired later than expected. The most common reason for retiring early was due to health setbacks or job loss. For retirees with incomes under $35,000, the primary reason was job dissatisfaction. However, for low-income individuals, the study found that high-income retirees were less likely to have a choice about retiring early.
