Guests can sleep on the USS Cobia, a World War II submarine, at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum. The submarine is listed on Airbnb and can sleep up to 65 people in sailors' bunks. For years, the Wisconsin Maritime Museum hosted Boy Scout troops and other large groups on the submarine, which can sleep up to 65 people.

Existing homeowners in America have seen their wealth on paper explode as home prices have surged across the country. A recent report from the Aspen Institute highlights the gaping wealth chasm that has formed between homeowners and renters in America. The median homeowner in America has a net worth of $400,000 as of 2022, the most recent data available, while the median renter’s net worth is just $10,400, according to the report. At the same time, the days of sub-4% mortgage rates appear to be in the rear view window after the Federal Reserve began hiking interest rates to tackle inflation in 2022. Skyrocketing home prices aren’t the only barrier to entry: Mortgage rates remain persistently high.

Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., on Sunday blasted those who have promised to fund primary challenges against Republican Senators who oppose President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet picks, calling them "political opportunists." "Here’s what I would tell them: if they really support President Trump’s nominees they should stand down and let the nominees win on their own merits, and I think most of them will." Tech billionaire Elon Musk spent more than $250 million in support of Trump's re-election bid. If you vote against any of Trump’s nominees a primary challenge wouldn’t be hard," Kirk wrote in a post on X.

When I first started learning how to budget, I meticulously tracked every penny in a spreadsheet. These gurus taught me that developing sound money habits was a vital first step to achieving both goals. While they sometimes disagreed about what those sound money habits should be, one recurring suggestion I encountered was to track every last penny I spent or earned. Second, confronting my spending habits in black and white gave me an honest view of where my money was going. While developing sound money habits is important, recognizing when they've outlived their usefulness is also important.

AdvertisementChina is flooding the developing world with cheap goods. China's exports, meanwhile, are growing at a rate of around 12% in dollar terms year-on-year, according to October trade data, with 50% being sent to the developing world. Meanwhile, consumers in the developing world have benefited from the influx of affordable Chinese goods. As the economies of developing nations become woven more tightly with China's, the volume of cheap Chinese imports has increased. Yet the importance it places on its status as a manufacturing powerhouse, and the relative weakness of domestic Chinese demand, means the flow of cheap Chinese goods abroad is unlikely to let up anytime soon.

Technical analysis-based trade ideas can be classified into two main categories – trend following or mean-reverting. In other words, there's no reason to guess when momentum is going to turn higher – if it does at all. However, when a declining stock gets washed out and/or falls to a confluence of support, the risk return ratio can turn favorable. And with the stock's recent hold above the 130-zone the last few weeks, it could be getting ready for another rally attempt. BEFORE MAKING ANY FINANCIAL DECISIONS, YOU SHOULD STRONGLY CONSIDER SEEKING ADVICE FROM YOUR OWN FINANCIAL OR INVESTMENT ADVISOR.
