☆ I'm a college expert, and the biggest mistake I see students make is not negotiating their financial aid offer. Here's how to do it.
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-26 | by ( Kate Colbert | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

Affordability often comes down to how extensive a student's financial-aid offers are — including grants and scholarships. But I'm a college-education expert and one of the authors of "Commencement: The Beginning of a New Era in Higher Education," and I've seen countless students negotiate a higher deal. If you're an incoming freshman, you have every right to go back to the college or university and renegotiate your financial-aid offer. That's the tuition price listed on the school's website. That means a $40,000 tuition price tag often gets reduced to $18,200, but only if you ask for it.

This week, he delivered his most explicit threat yet to Biden, saying their investigations into the Biden family’s business deals appear to be rising to the level of an impeachment inquiry. The only way Congress can do that is go to an impeachment inquiry,” McCarthy said Tuesday, stopping short of formally moving to open such a probe. Nebraska GOP Rep. Don Bacon, whose district Biden carried in 2020, told CNN that the House needs to be deliberate. It’s not good for the country.”In the first Trump impeachment, House Democrats led a number of closed and open hearings before charging Trump with abuse of power and obstructing Congress. Comer confirmed he has been regularly briefing McCarthy on his Hunter Biden probes, which he thinks helped give McCarthy the “confidence” to publicly raise the idea of an impeachment inquiry.

☆ Cramer's sharing terminology to help investors make sense of earnings season
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-25 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

CNBC's Jim Cramer knows that executives rarely sound the alarm when something is wrong at their company. Cramer broke down the companies he's watching into categories: Continually good quarter (or continued excellence), first good quarter, last bad quarter, first bad quarter and confusing quarter. Cramer first listed companies that are experiencing "continually good quarters," including homebuilder PulteGroup and paint maker Sherwin-Williams . Cramer said he thinks the company is having its "last bad quarter," which could present a buying opportunity. Cramer pointed to aerospace giant RTX , formerly known as Raytheon Technologies, as a company likely experiencing a "first bad quarter," plagued by an engine recall.

☆ Remote-working parents with young kids are fleeing cities to get more bang for their buck

Parents with children under 5 are shunning big cities faster than everyone else. But the flight of young parents and a shrinking population might mean cities have to compete to keep you. A new report from the Economic Innovation Group, or EIG, found that families with young kids are shunning big cities. That created a nexus of families with young children just outside of cities, what the report calls a "donut effect." But for cities that are shedding young families but still hold allure, like New York, the reshaping might be more of a rethinking of their value proposition.

The US even reminded everyone just how influential the buck is when it effectively froze Russia out of the global financial system with sanctions last year. Becoming the issuer of the global reserve currency is about trust. The US has controlled the global reserve currency for 102 years — giving it a special status in the world economy. Still, given that the country controlling the global reserve currency holds that status of an average of 94 years, history seems to indicate it's high time for a successor. Why shouldn't the financial world resemble something closer to the mosaic of cultures, politics, and nations that exists today?

To compile the report, AirDNA looked only at locations with between 100 and 500 whole-home listings with between one and five bedrooms. These spots proved a "happy middle ground" of established destinations that are not yet "name-brand" vacation spots, AirDNA Director of Enterprise Marketing Dillon DuBois told Insider.

Antique expert Dr. Lori told Insider she estimates a 25% rise in the doll's value in the build-up to the film's release and immediately afterward. "There are too many elements to the concept of value, and it's rarely just about finance," Yang told Insider.

Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) speaks during a press conference on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) with members of the House Freedom Caucus on July 14, 2023 in Washington, DC. The House narrowly passed an annual defense policy bill on Friday after Republicans added provisions on abortion and transgender surgeries — measures that were a nonstarter for Democrats. The amendments, adopted Thursday, would ban the secretary of defense from paying for or reimbursing service members for abortion-related expenses and transgender surgeries and hormone treatments. House Democratic leaders said Thursday that members of their caucus will vote against passing the bill. The defense legislation will eventually need to be reconciled with a version of the bill under consideration in the Senate.

A more sympathetic GOP lawmaker expressed hope that Wray wouldn't leave the party after a contentious hearing. Wray also began to snap back, at one point expressing shock that anyone would suggest he's biased against conservatives. The onslaught led Rep.

Even though Democrats held off a widely expected red wave in the 2022 midterm elections, Republican turnout was in fact stronger, and the party energized key demographic groups including women, Latinos and rural voters, according to a report released Wednesday by the Pew Research Center. The report serves as a warning sign for Democrats ahead of the 2024 presidential election, with early polls pointing toward a possible rematch between President Biden and former President Donald J. Trump. People who had voted in past elections but sat out 2022 were overwhelmingly Democrats. And for all the Democratic emphasis on finding Republican voters who could be persuaded to buck their party in the Trump era, Pew found that a vast majority of voters stuck with the same party through the 2018, 2020 and 2022 elections. Just 6 percent of voters cast ballots for more than one party over those three elections — and those voters were more likely to be Democrats flipping to Republican candidates than Republicans to Democratic candidates.

As inflation stays high around the world, some are increasingly blaming high corporate profits. An IMF working paper found that corporate profits account for nearly 45% of European inflation. Inflation is not solely caused by soaring profits, but the working paper finds that profits rising well above pre-pandemic trends have made their mark on European inflation. And Europe might be worse off than the US when it comes to so-called "greedflation," as inflation in the states cools off and profits play increasingly less of a role in keeping costs high. The IMF analysis finds that profits are ultimately playing a larger role in European inflation than in the US and Canada.
