I chose Burlington as my eclipse-viewing city because of its convenience, the length of totality, and the city's natural beautyI headed to Burlington, Vermont to watch the total solar eclipse on April 8, and even managed to snap a photo of totality. Ellyn LapointeBurlington is the state's largest city, but with a population of only 44,000, it feels more like a big small town. Its tree-lined streets are relatively quiet, there's hardly ever traffic, and everybody seems to know everybody. My parents live just 20 minutes away, so I didn't have to scramble to book a pricey hotel room. I watched the eclipse from Burlington's scenic Waterfront Park and enjoyed three minutes and 15 seconds of totality.

An airplane passes during a partial solar eclipse seen from Queens, New York City, U.S., April 8, 2024. Monday's solar eclipse is giving some of the country's smaller airports their moment in the sun. The Federal Aviation Administration reported arriving flights at airports from Burlington, Vermont, to southern Illinois were briefly halted Monday morning ahead of the total eclipse. The best views of the solar eclipse in the U.S. span from Texas through Illinois, Kentucky and Ohio to northwestern New York and Maine, according to NASA.

☆ Macy's hasn't closed 150 stores yet. But Target, Kohl's CEOs already smell opportunity
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-01 | by ( Melissa Repko | In Melissa-Repko | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

Those companies already count many of Macy's shoppers as their customers, according to an analysis of credit card data by Earnest Analytics. Macy's closures could put as much as $2 billion of market share up for grabs. The department store's net sales were $23.1 billion in the most recent fiscal year, and it said the 150 stores that it's closing account for less than 10% of sales. About 63% of Macy's stores have a T.J. Maxx or Marshalls within a one-mile radius, according to an analysis by Jefferies. Off-price stores also draw a similar customer, which tends to be more affluent.

Kohl's : Shares fell about 2% after the department store chain delivered a fourth-quarter earnings beat, but same-store sales declined more than expected. However, "if you own it, keep it," Jim Cramer suggested, referring to Kohl's stock. On Holding : Shares plunged 14% after the buzzy Swiss shoemaker's quarterly earnings missed estimates alongside a slightly softer-than-expected outlook. Paramount Global : Private equity firm Apollo Global Management has reached out to Paramount Global about a possible takeover or asset purchase, Axios reported Tuesday, citing two sources familiar with the matter. "If you're playing this for upside, you've got to remember we do not believe in mergers if we think the fundamentals are not good, and the fundamentals are not good" at Paramount Global, Cramer said.

It is up to the six-member elections commission, evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans, to decide whether there are sufficient signatures to trigger the recall election. Recall organizers said they submitted nearly 11,000 signatures to the Wisconsin Elections Commission on Monday. But after an initial review of those signatures, commission staff said there were 9,053 potentially valid signatures. Only 3,364 signatures collected are in the new Assembly district that Vos resides in, which would also fall short of the total needed. If a petition is determined to be sufficient, a recall election must be called for six weeks later.

☆ Why Warren Buffett thinks the power of compound interest is the key to his success
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-03 | by ( Yun Li | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Warren Buffett believes successful investing is like rolling a little snowball down a very long hill — the longer the hill, the bigger the snowball. The key is the power of compound interest , something Buffett often credits as the driving force behind his unmatched investment legacy. Compound interest describes the ability to earn not only interest on the principle but also reinvested interest on the interest. "The trick is to have a very long hill, which means either starting very young or living ... to be very old." For example, $10,000 with compound interest of 10% annually is worth almost $175,000 in 30 years, more than $450,000 in 40 years and $1.17 million in 50 years.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration said Monday that the government intends to provide $1.5 billion to the computer chip company GlobalFoundries to expand its domestic production in New York and Vermont. The announcement is the third award of direct financial support for a semiconductor company under the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act. The law enables the government to invest more than $52 billion to revitalize the manufacturing of computer chips in the United States as well as advance research and development. “The chips that GlobalFoundries will make in these new facilities are essential,” Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said on a call with reporters. But Democrats have stressed their efforts to ease inflation and the long-term investments that they say will drive growth forward, such as the investments in computer chip production and infrastructure.

A Vermont mother wanted to teach her then-14-year-old son a lesson after he came home with electronic cigarettes he stole from a gas station. The teen eventually was injected with a ketamine, a sedative, then taken to a hospital, according to the lawsuit and video. When the two officers arrived to speak to the teen, Austrian told them her son was acting erratically and had a rough week. The lawsuit says the teen “reflexively rose from the bed and flailed his arms haphazardly at the officers." Officers told him to stop spitting, and paramedics, who police called, placed a spit hood over his head.
