While Americans kept their bank accounts through the coronavirus recession, there is a chance the number of unbanked Americans could rise in the future if inflation continues to damage the economy and unemployment increases.

☆ These options trades look cheap ahead of earnings, Goldman says
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-22 | by ( Jesse Pound | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

The bank's derivatives research team, led by Vishal Vivek, found several stocks reporting next week whose options look relatively cheap. "We find, while the absolute level of implied moves are high, when adjusted for one month realized volatility, implied moves are only in their 18th percentile relative to the past 17 years; we look for names where implied moves are most under-priced heading into earnings. Our past studies have shown implied moves to be correlated with historical earnings-day moves," Vivek wrote. One of the biggest names on the list is Ford , which is scheduled to report on Oct. 26. Straddles are slightly more expensive than directional bets, but they can profit regardless of which way a stock moves.

☆ ‘Sparkle Beings’ by Angelica Sanchez and ‘Seismic Shift’ by John Escreet Review: A Jazz Trend of Note
▼ + stars: | 2022-09-22 | by ( Martin Johnson | ) www.wsj.com time to read: 1 min

Some jazz trends that may come to define this decade are already taking shape, and a major one is happening at the keyboard. Pianists are moving with greater ease and intent between melodic passages and abstract ones, and doing so more routinely than before. But while some younger players (such as David Virelles , Marta Sánchez and Micah Thomas ) have adapted the technique, this isn’t a youth movement. Such veterans as Angelica Sanchez and Sylvie Courvoisier have made it a prominent part of their arsenals, as have midcareer players like John Escreet and Orrin Evans . Angelica Sanchez’s “Sparkle Beings” (Sunnyside, due out Sept. 23) and Mr. Escreet’s “Seismic Shift” (Whirlwind, Oct. 7) both feature stellar sidemen and showcase this style along with other increasingly influential aspects of their work.

There's a camp that says whatever the Fed guides to has typically been the floor and not the ceiling. This communication is basically signaling that the Fed's going to continue to be aggressive and remain hawkish. Not only did the Fed hike another unusually large 75 bps today, it is basically saying it will do it again in November.
