☆ OpenAI is facing controversy. Again.

In today's big story, we're looking at the latest controversy to embroil OpenAI amid a difficult few months for the startup . Their takeaway was simple: OpenAI wants to have it both ways regarding how it's perceived about safety and commercialization. It's structured as a "capped-profit" company governed by a nonprofit, and Altman doesn't hold equity directly in OpenAI. The result, the VC told me, is people feel OpenAI is talking out of both sides of its mouth. It doesn't help that some OpenAI employees joined when that split was closer to 80/20 and favored safety over business, they added.

With interest rates expected to come down in 2024, real estate — a sector beloved for its steady income payments — could see upside in the new year. "When rates are low, a lot of income-oriented investors see that REIT dividend as very attractive, and they are willing to take the risks associated with equity investment to have this dividend payment." Jefferies is neutral on the office REIT sector but has raised its rating on Boston Properties to buy from hold. The senior housing occupancy rate was 84.4% in the third quarter of 2023, according to the National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care . That's up more than 6 percentage points from the pandemic low of 77.8%, but it's still off from the pre-pandemic occupancy rate of 87.1%.

Call it whatever you want, we're going to get that one and a half percent," the crown prince said. The Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), an entity controlled by Crown Prince Mohammed, has backed Saudi soccer clubs and LIV Golf. The LIV Golf merger with the PGA Tour has faced widespread scrutiny. Key U.S. lawmakers have criticized the pending golf merger as an attempt by the kingdom to distract from its human rights record. Prior to the deal, LIV Golf sued the PGA Tour for alleged anticompetitive practices, which prompted the PGA Tour to countersue, saying LIV Golf was stifling competition.

☆ Heading into retirement? Here are 4 key tips for mapping out a game plan
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-28 | by ( Lorie Konish | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +6 min

Claiming Social Security benefits• Key deadline to watch: By age 60, you should go to the Social Security Administration website and review your statement, recommends Craig Copeland, director of wealth benefits research at EBRI. When to claim Social Security retirement benefits is one of the big questions retirees face. At full retirement age — 66 or 67, depending on your date of birth — you will receive 100% of the benefits you earned. "The later you can file for Social Security, the better it is as far as the amount you're going to get," John said. While you may start your Social Security retirement benefits at age 62, eligibility for Medicare generally does not start until age 65.

Equity duration is the time until the company's cash flows are received, weighted by their present values. Goldman defines its equity duration estimates as a weighted-average distribution of cash flows. However, short-duration stocks are the ones with strong earnings today, but no promise of earnings growth down the road. These short-duration names may provide a hedge against rising rates. The median implied equity duration for stocks in the basket is 18.3 years versus 22.2 years for the Russell 1000.

☆ Australia plans to limit early access to retirement funds, cut tax breaks

SYDNEY, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Australia's centre-left government said on Thursday it would push ahead with plans to change superannuation rules, including restricting early access to funds until retirement and limiting tax breaks for high-earners. Jones said restricting early access to funds is "fundamental" as it supported retirement incomes. Federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers estimates tax breaks on superannuation will cost the budget more than pension by 2050. Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor told Sky News the savings of Australians were "not a piggy bank for the government to tax and spend." The chief of Australia's biggest pension fund, AustralianSuper, in November warned against government efforts to tap into retirement savings worldwide.
