The outlook for stocks is becoming more favorable as inflation slows and the Federal Reserve looks to cut interest rates by yearend, according to UBS. Against that backdrop, UBS thinks investors should maintain a neutral view and remain strategic in their stock allocations. Here are some of the stocks on the UBS list: One of the stocks added to the list was San Diego-based, medical device maker Dexcom . Despite growth in the continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) segment of the diabetes market over the past few years, the sizable diabetes market has a "relatively low" penetration rate, according to UBS. "We expect DXCM to remain a leading player within the very concentrated CGM market."

Those in our inner circle not only know us the best, they should also have our best interests at heart. The family members and close advisers of politicians and celebrities often depend on the politician or celebrity’s wealth and power for their own power and prestige. As age takes its toll, he’s isolating himself from everyone but those closest to him. On Monday, The Wall Street Journal published a disturbing report that described the way in which his “inner circle” had limited access to the president and concealed his true condition from the public. “The White House has limited Biden’s daily itinerary and shielded him from impromptu exchanges,” The Journal reported.

CNN —ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos had a tall task on Friday: Press President Joe Biden on his age, his acuity and the future of his reelection campaign. Stephanopoulos mostly lived up to the challenge, asking rapid-fire, biting questions that did not let Biden off the hook. Behind his questions, viewers got a sense of Stephanopoulos’ frustration, which is shared by the entire White House press corps. In the interview, Biden’s first since the CNN debate last month, Stephanopoulos kept the questions going at a fast clip. Although the interview did not necessarily have any earth-shattering moments, it was important for the Biden campaign to try to halt the negative whirlpool around it.

NYSEIn 2018, British regulators sanctioned the UK arm of online gambling giant Flutter after it failed to catch an astonishing anomaly. The United States is Flutter's largest and fastest-growing market in terms of revenue. Both online sports betting and online casinos have been legal and regulated far longer in Britain than in the United States. But in the United States, Flutter doesn't place such limits on the age group. Around a decade ago, British politicians became concerned about a rise in gambling-linked fraud and suicides involving online VIP customers.

A satellite dish is no longer the only way bars and restaurants can air the National Football League's package of "Sunday Ticket" games. With this acquisition, bars, restaurants, casinos and other businesses will be able to stream "Sunday Ticket" games. "Sunday Ticket" is an integral sports package for bars and restaurants since it provides all out-of-market NFL games. Since then, the media rights owners of NFL games have begun to offer games simultaneously on their streaming services — and in some cases exclusively. Netflix also recently won the rights to air two NFL games on Christmas this year, and at least one on the holiday in the following two years.

On Sunday, Swift took it one step further by bringing Kelce on stage with her during her Eras Tour concert, according to videos posted to social media from the show at London’s Wembley Stadium. Kelce fanned himself with a hand fan, danced around and smiled at Swift while her dancers helped her with an on-stage costume change.

The combination of soda water and vodka has long been a fixture of boozy LGBTQ+ life, particularly among gay men. One of those came from Houston-based lawyer Jeff Watters, who called the vodka soda the "gay water" of the nighttime in a post on X. Retail is also central to the business for Gay Water, a startup offering canned cocktail variations of vodka soda. The former's vodka soda citrus is 100 calories per can, while Gay Water contains 80. The Gay Bar Shop, a specialty retailer, sells an 11-ounce, $49 candle that smells like a vodka soda with a lime garnish.
