Donald Trump may be more likely to get a peace deal from Russia if he places Ukraine in a position of strength, according to analysts. It's a move that may concern the US' European allies, with Kellogg previously having suggested handing over Ukrainian territory to Russia. Military and political leaders in Europe are warning that a deal that hands too much to Russia will likely just be a prelude to further conflict. In recent months, Russia has exploited Ukraine's lack of manpower and artillery, making significant advances in east Ukraine. Ultimately, achieving a lasting peace deal in Ukraine will depend on deterring Russia, not on walking away.

If you're like most people, you likely know that you need to make a few key moves to get your finances on track. That's because humans have evolved to generally avoid risk and prefer things the way they are, a phenomenon known as status quo bias, says Brad Klontz, a certified financial planner, financial psychologist and author of "Start Thinking Rich." "In general, it requires thinking, it requires energy and activity. To counteract these forces, you'll have to put systems in place that can excite and motivate you enough to counteract financial inertia, Klontz says. It's hard, but "it really is the key to becoming rich."

While you don't need a bachelor's degree to become a wind turbine service technician, some jobs might require you to complete a 2-year technical program or apprenticeship. Before becoming a wind technician, Jackson, who has four children, spent a decade as a stay-at-home mom.

Demand for AI agents is giving birth to a new class of startups and VCs hungry to invest in them. It was a topic of conversation at the Evident AI Symposium in New York on Thursday. To take AI agents a step further, technologists and startup investors are fueling a shift to so-called multi-agent systems that coordinate several AI agents to complete more complex tasks more autonomously. Well, that's still being worked out, according to a number of tech executives at the Evident AI Symposium Thursday.

Wall Street's celebration of President-elect Donald Trump's Treasury pick may be a tad premature. The market's resurgence following the Bessent announcement makes for calming copy, but is it the correct assessment of what's to come? It's true that Wall Street veteran Bessent has been a successful money manager. However, Bessent suggested that he is comfortable using tariffs as negotiations to " escalate to de-escalate " the risks of global trade imbalances. But little of what's been discussed about the Treasury Secretary pick supports the rather large rallies we've seen in both stocks and bond prices.

☆ Small caps historically outperform even the Santa Claus rally, starting before Thanksgiving
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-26 | by ( Sean Conlon | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

The weeks heading into year-end often mark a bullish time for stocks, and smaller companies especially might be poised for outperformance. With that in mind, Jeffrey Hirsch, editor-in-chief of the Stock Trader's Almanac, believes investors should buy small caps from the Tuesday before Thanksgiving this year and hold them until Jan. 3rd, 2025. The tendency for small caps to outperform large caps from mid-December through January, combined with the so-called Santa Claus rally right around Christmas, can bolster small-cap growth stocks, Hirsch said. That rally "rhymes with the post-2016 election move," according to John Hancock Investment Management co-chief investment strategist Emily Roland. He's really focused more on the food companies, eating healthier, vaccine companies and just making sure they're held to the same standards."
