☆ 'We've reached a new level of narcissism': Long-time bear David Rosenberg explains why a recession is still coming — and names 7 investments that can save investors from the pain
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-23 | by ( James Faris | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +7 min

Rosenberg continued: "But it's a false debate because the choice isn't between a soft landing and a recession. Consumers are the lifeblood of the US economy, and if they're forced to cut back on spending, Rosenberg thinks growth would quickly turn negative. Investors nervous about the economy should target stocks in four defensive parts of the market, Rosenberg said: consumer staples, healthcare, telecommunications, and utilities. "As growth is scarce, you want to own what's scarce, so you want to own growth stocks," Rosenberg said. "I'm probably much more bullish on growth than I am on value because value is very cyclical, and growth stocks tend to be valued on a longer-term earnings profile."

"They are looking to make detention for migrants the norm, but it is hard to see how they can do that," she told Reuters. At present there are 10 repatriation centres in Italy, which have a current capacity of just 619. In 2022 Italy reviewed 52,625 asylum requests, rejecting 53.5% of them, according to official data.

☆ China climate envoy says phasing out fossil fuels 'unrealistic'
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-22 | by ( David Stanway | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +3 min

SINGAPORE, Sept 22 (Reuters) - The complete phasing-out of fossil fuels is not realistic, China's top climate official said, adding that these climate-warming fuels must continue to play a vital role in maintaining global energy security. China is the world's biggest consumer of fossil fuels including coal and oil, and its special climate envoy Xie Zhenhua was responding to comments by ambassadors at a forum in Beijing on Thursday ahead of the COP28 climate meeting in Dubai in November. The stocktake will be at the centre of discussions at the COP28 climate meeting, with campaigners hoping it will create the political will to set clear targets to end coal and oil use. "It is unrealistic to completely phase out fossil fuel energy," said Xie, who will represent China at COP28 this year. At climate talks in Glasgow in 2021, China led efforts to change the language of the final agreement from "phasing out" to "phasing down" fossil fuels.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Upon spotting a zookeeper laden with a bucket full of fruit-flavored ice pops, black spider monkeys in Rio de Janeiro’s BioParque gracefully swung their way towards him on Friday, chattering excitedly. The ice pops are part of the monkeys’ well-being program. For the monkeys, the ice pops are watermelon, pineapple or grape flavored. But for Simba, the zoo’s lion, the ice treat is made up of blood or minced meat. To cool her down even more, a zookeeper sprayed Koala with a hose.

By Crispian BalmerROME (Reuters) - Asylum seekers in Italy will have to pay 4,938 euros ($5,259) to avoid detention while their request for protection is being processed, the government said on Friday, in a measure apparently aimed at deterring migrants. At present migrants to Italy who apply for asylum are free to move within the country while their application is reviewed, but the government decree published on Friday said they would have to pay a type of bail to stave off the threat of detention. "They are looking to make detention for migrants the norm, but it is hard to see how they can do that," she told Reuters. At present there are 10 repatriation centres in Italy, which have a current capacity of just 619. In 2022 Italy reviewed 52,625 asylum requests, rejecting 53.5% of them, according to official data.

Fearless Fund has invested more than $2 million in Thirteen Lune, founded by Nyako Griego.

Wearing a fluorescent orange life preserver and rubber gloves that reached his biceps, Prince William waded — ever so carefully — into New York’s East River. Damp onlookers watched the prince toss a few juvenile oysters in a bucket, then wade through waist-deep water until he reached the shore. Relief was palpable among staff of Billion Oyster Project, a nonprofit aiming to restore oyster reefs to New York’s waterways. This time around, the staff’s preparations included ordering new waders, the type of waterproof overalls worn by fly fishermen. “We were like, what size waders does the prince wear?” Jessi Olsen, the corporate partnerships manager for Billion Oyster Project, said.

This type of "friendly fraud" might feel harmless and seem like a small drop in the bucket for powerful corporations. But taken together with more nefarious forms of fraud, it's costing retailers more than $100 billion per year, according to Riskified , which published a new study on the problem on Thursday. Riskified uses artificial intelligence and automation to fight fraud and boost revenue at major retailers including Wayfair , Peloton , Revolve and Canada Goose . For the study, it surveyed over 300 global companies with more than $500 million in total annual revenue. The firm found retail policy abuses, such as return fraud and using fake email addresses for promo codes, is rising for some retailers.

Major defense contractors like Raytheon, Boeing and Northrop-Grumman have produced baseball hats, T-shirts and water bottles advertising military-grade weapons like ballistic missiles, rocket-propelled grenades and fighter jets. Now, Lockheed Martin, the American defense contractor best known as the world’s largest weapons manufacturer, is allowing its brand to be used in the streetwear business. Through Equity Management Inc, a corporate trademark licensing company in San Diego, Lockheed has been selling its trademark to apparel retailers in both the United States and abroad. A spokesperson for Lockheed Martin confirmed the collaborations were real but declined to comment further. The pieces range from $30 for a T-shirt to $115 for a nylon zip-up jacket, and are aimed at young consumers of South Korea’s growing streetwear market, where oversize cuts and bucket hats reign supreme.

Perhaps the most popular method is the 50/30/20 rule, which is a simple and effective way to take control of your money. The 50/30/20 budget rule was popularized by Sen. Elizabeth Warren—then a Harvard Law professor—and her daughter, Amelia Warren Tyagi, in their 2006 book “All Your Worth: The Ultimate Lifetime Money Plan.” They called it a “good rule of thumb” for getting your budget in order. What is the 50/30/20 rule? Alternatives to the 50/30/20 budget methodOf course, no one budgeting method is for everyone. For example, like the 50/30/20 rule, the 70/20/10 rule also divides your after-tax income into three categories but differently: 70% for monthly spending (including necessities), 20% for savings and for 10% donations and debt repayment above the minimums.

In an economic downturn, select quality growth stocks could help investors withstand a market pullback, according to Adam Parker, founder of Trivariate Research. With this in mind, he identified a list of quality growth stocks that can remain resilient and provide growth even in tumultuous times. "Adjusting for the S & P 500 performance, only the highest quality quartile of growth has cumulatively generated alpha over the last 25 years among mega/large caps," said Parker. "Among SMID cap growth stocks, the highest quality bucket has also been the best by far, generating more alpha than the highest quality mega/large caps." The names that fell in the top third are growth stocks, said Parker.
