High-yield municipal bonds – issues that are rated below BBB by Standard & Poor's – have greater default risk than their investment-grade counterparts. Muni bonds provide tax-free income on a federal basis – and on a state basis if the investor resides in the same state as the issuer. High-yield muni bond funds have seen estimated net flows of $6.76 billion in 2024 as of June 30, according to Morningstar. Before you step in Investors looking at high-yield muni bonds, be it individual issues or the funds, ought to consider their risk appetite and their goals.

Then on Jan. 5, about six minutes and 16,000 feet into a packed flight out of Portland, Oregon, a door plug blew out of a nearly new Boeing 737 Max 9. The Federal Aviation Administration barred Boeing from increasing output of its Max planes and stepped up hands-on inspections at production plants. The 737 was dubbed "Baby Boeing" and went on to become the company's bestseller, helping to make Boeing the largest U.S. exporter. Pilots in those Boeing planes fought against a flight-control system, the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System, that pushed the nose of the planes downward repeatedly. Boeing has said it aims to increase rates to about 50 Max planes a month in the next few years.

A secured credit card is a type of credit card with a line of credit backed by a security deposit. Because it doesn't require a credit history or credit score, secured credit cards are an appealing option for building a credit history. In fact, most credit card companies won't perform credit checks for secured credit card applicants. After a certain amount of time and credit built on the secured credit card, companies may also allow you to convert your secured credit card to a traditional card, at which point your security deposit will also be returned.

As megacaps continue to decline, CNBC's Jim Cramer said he remains optimistic about their prospects in the long run. "You just need to get over the hump, a hump that periodically scares people out of this whole asset class." Cramer said he always encourages investors take profits on winners when they can, otherwise it's possible to "get obliterated." And owning losers can feel more difficult than owning winners because it's more obvious why the latter might be on the decline, he added. Cramer said the arguments against these stocks are "for real," but similar to what has been said about them for years.
