Value-investing legend Bill Nygren says the S&P 500 lacks the diversification it once had. Nygren mentioned Corebridge Financial as a top pick that checks all his boxes. AdvertisementThe S&P 500 isn't as risk-free as investors might think, says Oakmark Funds' Bill Nygren, who lamented the S&P 500's growing lack of diversification. "It's become so important to us that we invest with companies that are taking matters into their own hands and using excess capital to repurchase their own stock," Nygren told the outlet on Monday. One stock he pinpointed that fits the bill is Corebridge Financial.

☆ Even millennials are getting too old to land a tech job
▼ + stars: | 2024-09-23 | by ( Amanda Hoover | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +8 min

Newly released federal data shows the US tech workforce is younger than the workforce at large and getting younger still. Tech workers under 25 are becoming more common, while the proportion of workers older than 40 shrinks. There's an age-old perception that tech workers should be young so they can move fast and break things. One of the top qualifications to land a tech job, it seems, is to possess a birth certificate dated after 1990. Women make up just 22% of tech workers — the same proportion of jobs they held in 2005.

She considered paying $700 for an online class, heavily promoted on Facebook, that promised to show parents how to find college scholarships. Every year, hundreds of thousands of students like Maggie devote countless hours to the hunt for private scholarships to pay for college. AdvertisementWith the combination of institutional aid and private scholarship she received, Maggie managed to cut her original college bill from $15,000 to $8,000.
