Kaufman, who is in the interest rates will stay higher for longer camp, thinks structured and options ETFs designed for risk management and income can provide stability. "We saw it being difficult to get risk management and income from bonds when rates were so low," he said. Kaufman's firm Calamos just started launching a suite of 12 structured protection ETFs.

NEW YORK (AP) — Christopher Nolan was still sleeping when his film, “Oppenheimer," landed a leading 13 Academy Awards nominations Tuesday. “Oppenheimer,” Nolan's sprawling American saga of J. Walter Oppenheimer and the creation of the atomic bomb, has more or less been the Oscar frontrunner since it made its acclaimed debut in late July. It came one nomination shy of tying the record for best Oscar nominations ever. “It's flabbergasting," said Thomas who spoke with her husband in an interview a few hours after nominations were announced. And so I think that’s something that really touched audiences.

☆ Ariana Grande's newest muse 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' is a tragic film disguised as romance

Read previewAriana Grande confirmed fan suspicions on Wednesday when she announced the title of her seventh album: "Eternal Sunshine." The coordinates led to Montauk, New York, a key location in the 2004 sci-fi film "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." But the promise of a "spotless mind," free of anger and heartache, is too enticing. My very first viewing of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" occurred in 2010, when I was 14. The "eternal sunshine of the spotless mind" is, in short, a lie.

Henry Kissinger died on Wednesday, aged 100. He outlived a New York Times journalist who helped with his obituary — the writer died in 2010. He lasted so long that he outlived one of The New York Times writers who contributed to his obituary. The Times described Kaufman in the byline as "a former correspondent and editor for The Times who died in 2010" — 13 years before Kissinger. David Kissinger wrote in an op-ed in The Washington Post in May that his "father's longevity is especially miraculous when one considers the health regimen he has followed throughout his adult life."
