DHS Moves to End 60-Day Grace Period for Laid-Off H-1B Workers — 2dThe Trump administration has proposed eliminating the discretionary 60-day grace period that lets certain employment-based nonimmigrants, including H-1B workers, remain in the U.S. after job loss to seek new sponsorship, potentially forcing immediate departure and affecting hundreds of thousands of dependents. The plan, not yet final and requiring public comment, aims to align status with employment, but could disrupt tech hiring, raise disruption for employers and workers, and prompt legal challenges or appeals as the government weighs public input and potential reapplications in some cases.

Tom Gallagher Employers in tech will face more turnover costs and delays when trying to fill specialized roles.

Volvo Wheel Loader and Classic Wagons Appear in Listings — 1dVolvo’s current lineup and collectors’ market highlight a mix of practicality and performance: the L150H wheel loader under the H-series is designed for durable, productive material handling in demanding sites, while the 2025 V90 Cross Country offers a high-end, car-like wagon with mild-hybrid power and rugged styling for those seeking wagon versatility over SUVs; the 1995 Volvo 850 T-5R, though rare and heavily modified to a manual, remains highly sought after with ongoing strong valuation and detailed maintenance history. In older Volvo lore, the 960 estate stands out for its large size, robust straight-six engine, rear-wheel drive, and ongoing considerations of running costs in today’s market.

Elena Vasquez The 850 T-5R values holding up even modified tells me the right examples are still worth chasing.

Trump administration proposes $103,265 H-1B visa fee — Aug 24, 2026The Trump administration’s DHS is advancing a formal rule to impose a $103,265 fee on new H-1B petitions, expanding a six-figure charge that courts have already challenged and that would apply to petitions from outside the United States. The proposal, now in a 30-day public comment period with potential finalization by year-end, faces ongoing legal battles and underscores a broader push to tighten the H-1B program, while renewals and cap-exempt petitions would be unaffected.

Fosun Pharma plans HK$1 billion buyback funded by Gland Pharma stake sale — 5dFosun Pharma unveils up to HK$1 billion in H-share buybacks, funded in part by the disposal of about 6% of its Gland Pharma stake, as management signals confidence in intrinsic value despite heavy R&D investment and only modest recurring profit growth. The stake sale, worth around US$296 million, reduces Fosun’s holding in Gland Pharma to ~45.76% but keeps it as controller, with proceeds earmarked for R&D, debt repayment, and further buybacks to support long-term value creation.

Elena Vasquez Modest recurring profit growth with heavy R&D spend is the real story here, the buyback is just window dressing for investors.
