I have a separate short-term savings account that I automatically put $10 in every week for gifts. While I do buy some gifts closer to the holidays (especially for kids), I buy items on sale all year. This is where I keep a gift fund. I don't have a firm budget for how much I spend each month, but I typically pull from my gift fund or my splurge fund from such purchases. Plus, I've received sundry items for gifting, such as stuffed animals, treat bags, gift boxes, baskets, and stocking stuffers.

The 31-year market veteran has achieved enviable results since the start of 2005 while running the BNY Mellon Dynamic Value Fund (DAGVX) alongside co-manager Brian Ferguson. How to invest — and common mistakes to avoidLike all value fund managers, Bailer refuses to overpay for stocks — regardless of how enticing their businesses look. "It's a philosophy that's based on looking for stocks with great valuations, but not stopping with great valuations," Bailer said. Companies in the BNY Mellon Dynamic Value Fund must have both quality fundamentals and improving business momentum, Bailer said. The six largest stocks in the BNY Mellon Dynamic Value Fund were in one of two sectors, as of September 30: financials and healthcare.

But while Iowa is a more difficult early state in the Republican primary contests for Mr. Trump than some of the others, the former president remains dominant there. Mr. Pence is the highest-profile candidate to leave the race, and the first of those who had met the Republican National Committee’s criteria for the primary debates. Mr. Pence’s campaign recently reported more than $600,000 in debt. But Mr. Pence, a former governor of Indiana, struggled mightily to raise money, never gaining traction in the polls that his former running mate has dominated.

After spending three weeks plumbing the depths of a chaotic power vacuum, House Republicans seem to have finally found their man. And while the selection of Representative Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, as speaker offers immediate relief from an exhausting, internecine process, his elevation does little to address the underlying conflict that led to former Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s demise. While far from a household name, even by congressional standards, Mr. Johnson is well situated to bridge a divided conference. Mr. Johnson is not your prototypical party leader, and his mere candidacy sent many in Washington scrambling for their Congressional Directory. And in some ways this was the point — a clean break from the Mr. McCarthy mold of speaker as pure political animal.

But shares of the life sciences and medical diagnostics company remain under pressure after management was forced to lower expectations for one of its key businesses. We used Tuesday's sell-off in Danaher shares to add to our position . Driving this forecast is an expectation for biotechnology sales drop in the mid-20% range, life sciences sales to decline by mid-single digit percentage points, and for diagnostics to be down about 20%. Assuming no additional headwinds in the fourth quarter, management reiterated their full year outlook for the bioprocessing base business to be down 10% on a full-year basis. The life sciences unit was hampered by pressure in the instruments business.

President Biden could very well go down in history as the last American president born during World War II and shaped by a view of American power nurtured in the Cold War. To Mr. Biden’s mind, this has been the moment he has trained for his entire political career, a point he often makes when challenged about his age. In the past eight months, he has visited two countries in the midst of active wars. He has married his public embraces with private cautions, and kept American troops out of both conflicts — so far. Whether Mr. Biden can bring the American population along, however, is a more unsettled question than at any moment in his presidency, and the backdrop of his rare Oval Office address on Thursday night.

Despite a recent hiccup, growth stocks are in style as concerns about the US economy persist. Growth stocks may generate earnings quickly, but that doesn't mean stock-pickers should rush to sell them — even after letdowns like a disappointing quarter. Every stock in the 52-year-old growth fund has tailwinds like sustainable earnings growth and defendable competitive advantages, Humphrey said. Valuation is an afterthought for some growth managers, but not those on Humphrey's team. Along with Meta Platforms (META), the USAA Victory Growth Fund's top holdings include streaming media titan Netflix (NFLX) and communications conglomerate Alphabet (GOOGL).

Since 1949, all female recruits have gone through boot camp at the South Carolina base; the 4th Battalion was created in 1986 as the women's unit. Inside the pool, men and women struggle side by side, jumping off a platform and swimming to the other end. Some measure of all-male companies would be necessary no matter what because there just are not enough female recruits to go around. The split, she said, divided them into “male Marines” and “female Marines,” and that shaped the men’s view of the women and made it more difficult for them to work together as they moved along. Young female recruits, who usually come from high schools where there is little separation, acknowledge the differences but voice no complaints.

Ottoman know-how and seamless minimalism come together inside the Çinili Hamam to create the ultimate zone-out space.

After years of near-zero returns, the average savings account rate has risen to 0.45%, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Their new High-Yield Savings account offers a 3.5% APY, but you need a hefty $5,000 deposit to open the account. Unlike some high-yield online savings accounts, you earn a high APY—currently 5%—on every dollar in your account.
