AdvertisementWith North Korean forces believed to be moving toward Russia's front lines, fears are growing that the Ukraine war is about to enter a new phase. Around 3,000 North Korean soldiers arrived in Russia last week, according to US, South Korean, and Ukrainian intelligence. The reports signaled a deepening military alliance between Russia and North Korea — an alliance that has been met with a muted response from China. AdvertisementThe bland statement may have been aimed at balancing its influence over North Korea and Russia with its relationship with Ukraine's Western allies. For North Korea, China has long been its most important ally, providing trade, diplomatic support, and military aid to Kim Jong Un.

☆ People who allegedly withdrew thousands of dollars from Chase ATMs in viral check fraud scheme may soon have to pay up

Customers who allegedly withdrew money fraudulently from Chase Bank ATMs using an illegal scheme that blew up on TikTok over the summer could soon have to cut hefty checks back to the bank. These people were able to withdraw funds by writing checks to themselves and immediately withdrawing funds before the checks bounced. Normally, the bank follows the industry standard of making a portion of any check available to customers before the funds clear. However, a temporary glitch allowed customers to withdraw more substantial amounts than typically allowed before a check clears. One case in Houston involves a “masked man” who allegedly deposited a $335,000 check to a defendant’s account.

☆ Home Depot is both a secular and cyclical stock, Jim Cramer says
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-28 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Monday suggested that home improvement retailer Home Depot acts as a secular and cyclical stock, able to both grow independently of the business cycle and flourish when the economy is doing well. "The company's secular characteristics carry it through the cyclical pain, so even if the Fed doesn't move with alacrity to cut rates, Home Depot will still win." Lower interest rates tend to improve the housing market, which normally bodes well for housing-related stocks like Home Depot. "Now you could argue that this is an unusual moment, but historically, it's actually not that unusual for Home Depot," he said. "There's a boom and bust portion of the business, but for most of that period since 1981, it kept growing regardless."

Taiwan’s presidential office on Saturday thanked Washington for greenlighting the potential arms sales.
