I ignored my Dad's advice about saving money and investing until I saw him retire a decade before his peers. Then I watched my Dad retire at least a decade before many of his peers, and my entire perspective changed. My stepmom, on the other hand, never had plans to retire early until she started dating my Dad. Invest aggressively ... and diversifyLike most people, a 401(k) was central to my parents' retirement plan. Because they wanted to retire early, my parents had to have other investments they could rely on for retirement income.

Biden admin officials feel that Joe Manchin has sometimes misinterpreted provisions of the IRA. Manchin sees the law as one focused on energy and says Biden wants it to be centered on climate. "This was about energy security and we have not heard a word about energy security out of their mouths since it was passed. His criticism of the White House can only serve to boost his standing in deep red West Virginia, as Biden remains unpopular in the state. But Manchin isn't pumping the brakes on his frustrations with Biden over the implementation of the law.

More shoppers are choosing electric vehicles so far this year than ever, according to vehicle sales data from Cox Automotive. While EV sales have been growing healthily for the past couple of years, that trend has accelerated this year. The electric vehicle market is entering into a transition period, she said. The average electric vehicle price in July was $53,469, according to Kelley Blue Book, versus an average price of $48,334 across all vehicles. But the number of charging stations still lags behind what is needed to support a wider-scale adoption of electric vehicles.

The upshot, some believe, is that there is now less cash on the sidelines to drive further gains and fewer skeptical investors to win over. The bank’s survey of fund managers showed cash allocations dropped to 4.8% in August, the lowest level in 21 months. Bearishness among retail investors, meanwhile, is at half the levels seen in September 2022, according to the AAII Sentiment Survey. Should the market stabilize, investors will likely reallocate more cash to stocks later in the year, she said. Of course, while optimism has grown, it is still far from extreme, and cash levels are far from historical lows.

By Aaron HurdLike anyone who has ever paid for a luxury hotel room entirely with points or upgraded to business class with miles, I enjoy spending credit card rewards. In fact, credit card rewards have been a cornerstone of my finances since college. Eventually, I started blogging about travel rewards and now I write about credit card rewards for many well-recognized outlets. These days, I carry a slim-nylon surfer wallet containing only a Bank of America Unlimited Cash Rewards card. When I’m out and about, I no longer worry about which card I’m using and I’m earning an amount of rewards similar to what I would combining a 2% cash back credit card with numerous specialty rewards cards.

REUTERS/Jason Reed Acquire Licensing RightsLONDON, Aug 16 (Reuters) - It's summer camp season and not to be left out, U.S. rate setters and overseas pals gather in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to talk central banking. U.S. Federal Reserve officials (plus friends from the ECB, BoE and BOJ) descend on Jackson Hole, Wyoming on Aug. 24-26 for their annual central bank confab. Inflation remains sticky in places and investors want to know how long it will take for central banks to switch to easing. European PMIs could provide a bigger signal on whether the European Central Bank will hike again in September and if the Bank of England opts for a big rate increase. Turkey's central bank is poised to raise rates on Thursday for the third time in a row since Hafize Gaye Erkan was appointed as governor in early June.

Here are some charts illustrating what has changed, and what has not, in meme stocks. Data from JPMorgan illustrate how quickly sentiment can turn among individual investors, who have been among the key drivers of moves in meme stocks. Retail investors sold a net $852 million in single stocks in the past week. The Roundhill MEME ETF (MEME.P), which tracks the performance of a basket of meme stocks, is down about 55% from where it started trading in December 2021, though up about 38% for the year. A quick rise, often followed by a rapid descent, is a fate common to meme stocks of both the past and present.

While it's uncommon, it's possible to save too much for retirement, financial planners say. If you're saving too much, you might notice you're consistently going over contribution limits. However, if you're saving too much, there are two sure signs. You're not meeting your other money goalsIf you're over-saving for retirement, it might mean that you're having trouble keeping up with your other goals. "More commonly what we see come up is [people] ignoring all of their other saving goals and only saving for retirement," says Walsh.

However, they may be missing out if they are bypassing dividend stocks altogether, according to Neuberger Berman senior portfolio manager Sandy Pomeroy, who manages the Neuberger Berman Equity Income Fund (NBHAX) . Right now, dividend stocks haven't been this cheap since the tech boom of the 1990s, Pomeroy said. Dividend stocks have underperformed this year: The SPDR S & P Dividend ETF (SPYD) has a total return of -5% in 2023, per FactSet. In comparison, the SPDR S & P 500 ETF (SPY) has a total return of nearly 15%. Deere, which has a 1.3% dividend yield, reported an earnings and revenue beat before the bell Friday.

Solar panels are seen atop a hops plantation in the Bavarian Holledau region in Au, Germany, June 19, 2023. And already, those subsidies are flowing: German conglomerate Thyssenkrupp (TKAG.DE) will invest around 3 billion euros ($3.27 billion) in a proposed green steel plant in Duisburg, Germany, including over 2 billion euros in state subsidies given EU approval in late July. But it noted the U.S. model also had uncertainty built in because a change of administration could end IRA subsidies. The complexity of EU financing through the recovery fund means it is available only to bigger companies, leaving smaller firms struggling to benefit.

[1/2] Idled blast furnaces at U.S. Steel Corp's Granite City Works in Granite City, Illinois, U.S. on on July 5, 2017. Two other U.S. rivals, Nucor Corp (NUE.N) and Steel Dynamics Inc (STLD.O), trade at 6.9 times and 5.8 times, respectively, according to Refinitiv data. These two companies' offers both value U.S. steel at 6.2 times its 2024 EBITDA, according to RBC Capital Markets analysts. Unlike blast furnaces, EAFs do not have to be operated at constant rates, allowing them to adjust to fluctuations in steel demand. EAFs also release much less carbon dioxide than blast furnaces, reducing climate-warming emissions.

How does a Roth IRA work? “A Roth IRA offers investors a lot of flexibility which, in my opinion, is its biggest benefit,” says Eric Presogna, a financial planner in Erie, Pa.How is a Roth IRA different from a traditional IRA and from a 401(k)? The annual limits apply to traditional and Roth IRAs, in aggregate—meaning you can’t add more than the allowed amount to your traditional and Roth IRAs combined. High-income workers can use the “backdoor Roth” strategy to get money into a Roth IRA. How to fund a Roth IRAA Roth IRA typically needs to be funded before you can start choosing investments.

This is just one example of a struggling community that has landed a major investment in clean energy since President Joe Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law exactly one year ago Wednesday. The $750 billion law — the largest climate investment in US history — has helped spark a boom in private investment, especially in clean energy, electric vehicles and batteries. Importantly, many of these clean energy projects are set to be built in communities that really need the help. New plants could bring people into the labor force who have been left behind,” the Treasury analysis finds. The $4.4 billion investment is expected to create 300 new jobs and support countless existing ones.

A continued rally in stocks forced many hedge funds to unwind their bets against equities last month. US BOND MARKET LIQUIDITYBridgewater actively bets on the direction of various types of securities — including stocks, bonds, commodities and currencies — by predicting macroeconomic trends. He said that liquidity in the U.S. government bond market was getting worse, as the Treasury increases bond issuance. Bridgewater's Pure Alpha 12% volatility fund gained 2.5% in the year through Aug. 11, a third source familiar with the matter said, while the Defensive Alpha fund, less dependent on equities, rose 2.1%. Since it was launched in 1991, Pure Alpha 12% has generated 7.7% net total returns annually, according to the same source.

WASHINGTON, Aug 16 (Reuters) - U.S President Joe Biden on Wednesday used the first anniversary of his signature Inflation Reduction Act to pitch the landmark clean-energy law as an economic powerhouse to a public that remains largely unaware of its contents.

WASHINGTON — The Treasury Department on Wednesday announced that billions of dollars slated for investments in clean energy, electric vehicles and batteries under the Inflation Reduction Act will go to relatively underserved communities throughout the country. The announcement comes as the IRA, the Biden administration's landmark law targeting manufacturing, infrastructure and climate change, turns one year old. The more than $500 billion in announced investments, $200 billion of which is in the clean energy sector, is a key goal of the legislation, according to the Treasury. A senior Treasury official told reporters on Wednesday that the agency is also seeing meaningful private investment in the efforts. He also contended it would benefit the Chinese Communist Party, as the U.S. relies on Chinese imports of key inputs for clean energy technology.

It has been one year after President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act went into law. Passing the Inflation Reduction Act last August was anything but easy. One year to the day after President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act was passed seems like the perfect time to look back on its effects — and to look forward at which stocks could reap the benefits.
