  + stars: | 2023-08-17 | by ( Jeanne Sahadi | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
Overall the average 401(k) balance rose to $112,400, up 4% from the first quarter. And compared to a decade ago, the average balance is 39% higher. In tracking savings growth over the past year, Fidelity found that the average 401(k) account for Baby Boomers rose 6.3%. That’s well above the second quarter average — $220,900 — for everyone in that age group. In the second quarter, Fidelity found that total contribution rates — the employee’s savings plus their employer matches — averaged 13.9% of one’s gross income.

REUTERS/Arnd Wiegmann/File PhotoLONDON, July 11 (Reuters) - A teenage member of the Lapsus$ hacking group hacked Uber (UBER.N) and fintech firm Revolut then blackmailed the developers of best-selling videogame Grand Theft Auto, prosecutors have told a London court. Arion Kurtaj, 18, is said to have targeted Revolut and Uber in September 2022, accessing around 5,000 Revolut customers' information and causing nearly $3 million of damage to Uber. Prosecutors allege he hacked Rockstar Games days later and threatened to release the planned Grand Theft Auto sequel's source code in a Slack message sent to all Rockstar staff. Kurtaj later embarked on a solo cyber crime spree, Barry said, first targeting Revolut then Uber two days later before hacking Rockstar Games. He has previously pleaded guilty to two offences under the Computer Misuse Act and one count of fraud.

☆ Premarket stocks: Why today's inflation report is so important
  + stars: | 2023-02-24 | by ( Nicole Goodkind | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
Recent data has shown that inflation is still hot, and that the economy is rip-roaring. On Thursday, JPMorgan Chase (JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon publicly expressed his doubt in the central bank’s ability to control inflation. This, in turn, can help make it easier for the central bank to achieve its inflation targets. Blackrock analysts wrote in a note Thursday that “we think we are going to be living with inflation. Watson was accused in a federal indictment of having “engaged in a scheme to defraud OZY’s investors, potential investors, potential acquirers, lenders and potential lenders.”The charges said that Watson committed the fraud “through material misrepresentations and omissions” about Ozy Media, including the company’s finances, investors, business partners, contracts, and potential acquisitions.
☆ 401(k) balances rise, despite economic challenges
  + stars: | 2023-02-23 | by ( Jeanne Sahadi | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
That’s according to new data from Fidelity Investments, one of the largest providers of workplace retirement plans, which combined represent $2.8 trillion in assets on its platform. By that Barry means the average 401(k) savings rate (including both employee contributions and employer matches) held roughly steady at 13.7%, down from the 13.8% in the third quarter and 13.9% in the second quarter. Among generations in the workforce, Baby Boomers had the highest savings rate as a percent of their income (16.5%). But the average rate among this group is still very low – at just 2.6%. The average 401(k) balance in Fidelity-administered plans, meanwhile, rose 7% from the third quarter, to $103,900.
☆ Is the worst over for bitcoin and the rest of crypto?
  + stars: | 2022-12-04 | by ( Paul R. La Monica | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
This is not the first crypto winter, as long-term fans of bitcoin can attest. “It is very clear that we as an industry need to build better products,” said Hany Rashwan, CEO of 21.co, a crypto investment firm. That’s about triple where prices were during the depths of the crypto bear market in the early pandemic days of 2020. Others point out that the underlying blockchain technology behind bitcoin and crypto remains solid. Pride and Reynolds added that it’s erroneous to think that bitcoin can hold up well during stock market volatility.
☆ Average 401(k) balances plunged 23% year-over-year due to market volatility, Fidelity says

In this article FIS Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNTwatch nowMonths of market swings have taken a heavy toll on retirement savers. The average 401(k) balance sank for the third consecutive quarter and is now down 23% from a year ago to $97,200, according to a new report by Fidelity Investments, the nation's largest provider of 401(k) plans. The average individual retirement account balance also plunged 25% year-over-year to $101,900 in the third quarter of 2022. The average 401(k) contribution rate, including employer and employee contributions, held steady at 13.9%, just shy of Fidelity's suggested savings rate of 15%. "Retirement savers have wisely chosen to avoid the drama."
☆ Even though markets were bearish, 401(k) participants kept investing last quarter
  + stars: | 2022-11-17 | by ( Jeanne Sahadi | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
401(k) participants have held relatively steady in their savings contribution rates and in their portfolio allocations, according to new third quarter data from Fidelity Investments. That’s down 6% from the second quarter and 23% from a year earlier. But the average savings rate among 401(k) participants, meanwhile, held relatively steady at 13.8%, which includes both employee and employer contributions. That’s only down a fraction from the 13.9% recorded in the second quarter and the 14% recorded in the first quarter. Allocations also held fairly steady, Fidelity found, with only 4.5% of 401(k) and 403(b) plan participants opting to make a change in the third quarter.
☆ Here’s where investors should look as they search for the leaders of the next bull market
  + stars: | 2022-10-24 | by ( Michelle Fox | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
"History has shown us that the leaders of the last bull market are not the leaders of this bull market, at least in the last 50 years," Barry said. Energy, for instead, outperformed in the '70s, but consumer staples led the bull market in the 1980s, he said. When it comes to what could lead the market through the next bull market, energy looks promising, Barry said. In addition to energy, Barry thinks industrials look interesting, particularly aerospace and defense. Overall, he likes small-cap stocks over large cap as leaders of the next bull market, value over growth, U.S. over international and equal-weight funds over market-weight funds.
☆ Wall Street pros are watching this index to get an early sign that inflation is slowing
  + stars: | 2022-09-23 | by ( Carmen Reinicke | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
For signs that inflation may be easing, Wall Street pros have an unlikely source — the price of used cars. The Manheim Used Car Price Index fell to 205.9 in September from 210.8 in August. In 2020 and 2021, as the pandemic raged and inflation began to climb, used car prices increased by 20% each year. To bring the index back to its pre-pandemic trend of a 2% annual price increase, it would have to drop more than 25%. "I believe that the Fed will increase interest rates until the index drops to 163, from 205 today," he said.
