CNN —Donald Trump has selected his son-in-law Jared Kushner’s father, Charles Kushner, to serve as the next US ambassador to France, the president-elect announced Saturday. Trump described Charles Kushner as a highly successful business leader, philanthropist and dealmaker, with deep experience in the real estate industry.

Kushner hatched an elaborate revenge plot to target his brother-in-law, William Schulder, a former employee turned witness for federal prosecutors in their case against Kushner. Since Trump left office in 2021, Kushner and his wife, Ivanka Trump, have moved to Miami and largely exited politics.

While many people may experience some anxiousness around their finances, money dysmorphia is a different ballgame. 1 sign you may be struggling with it is if you constantly worry about your finances, no matter how much money you've actually got in your bank account, says Aja Evans, a financial therapist and author of "Feel Good Finance." "Money dysmorphia is about feeling like your financial state is different than the actual reality of it," she tells CNBC Make It. It starts to become a problem when your distorted perception of your finances disrupts your day-to-day life, Evans says. "If you feel like, 'Hey, I'm starting to isolate because I don't feel like I have the money to go out,' even though your bank account may say that there is money in your account, that is a red flag."

Those who threw in the towel might be licking their wounds as growth stocks continue to outperform value dramatically. Instead, it builds a simple filter based on backtested factors dating decades to determine the key variables that have worked over time, says Ryan Kelley, CIO of the fund. For the Hennessy Cornerstone Mid Cap 30 Fund, that filter has been boiled down to a four-step process used for 21 years. "We absolutely just let the numbers dictate what we own, and it takes some discipline and it takes some trust in the process," Kelley said. By the time the filter process is complete, thousands of US stocks have been filtered down to about 125 to 150, which is still too much.
