A crucial catalyst for shares of Club holding Wells Fargo may be around the corner, according to one Wall Street firm. Bank of America also raised its price target on Wells Fargo to $84 a share from $75, and reiterated its buy rating on the stock. Bottom line We've long called out the asset cap removal as a big catalyst for Wells Fargo — and it's been central to our overall investment thesis for the stock. That's because once these restrictions are lifted, Wells Fargo can finally grow its balance sheet past that nearly $2 trillion threshold again.

Nearby in Pennsylvania, Northampton County — which narrowly tipped red with a shift of 3 percentage points — has a similar story. But not all high-challenge housing counties swung toward Trump.

After briefly touching the $80,000 milestone, bitcoin was trading just below it Sunday mid-morning. The crypto industry believes Trump’s victory is a bullish sign for bitcoin and other digital currencies. Although Trump was once a bitcoin skeptic, once saying it “was based on thin air,” he has fully embraced crypto in recent months — unlike the Biden administration, which has sought to rein in crypto. A big reason Trump has changed his tune on crypto: He now has a financial stake in it. In September, Trump and his children started a new crypto business called World Liberty Financial.

That’s a lot of damage – but it’s only a small fraction of what climate change has cost people around the world. A new report is flashing a warning signal about climate change and natural disasters, finding that their total economic damage has skyrocketed into the trillions. “Just as the global financial crisis was met with a swift and concerted response from world leaders, we need governments to understand that the economic impact of climate change necessitates a response of similar speed and decisiveness,” said John W.H. Trump has promised to undo climate regulations in the country, including rolling back pollution limits on tailpipes and power plants. Separate data released last week by Europe’s Copernicus Climate Change Service confirms that the world will likely surpass a grim milestone this year: 2024 is likely to be the hottest year on record.

☆ Trump's plan for Social Security will help baby boomers in the short term and cut benefits for anyone younger
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-10 | by ( Allie Kelly | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

The president-elect promised on the campaign trail to cut taxes on Social Security benefits in his second term. For some baby boomers, lower Social Security taxes could mean larger monthly checks in the short-term. But experts predict that the Social Security tax cuts, along with other campaign promises made by Trump, could quickly drain the national Social Security fund. More than 72 million Americans receive Social Security and the estimated average monthly check is $1,907 a month, per the Social Security Administration. Social Security tax cuts would hurt low-income retirees, younger generationsUS Social Security will be depleted in the next decade without Congressional action.

☆ How to say 'no' when family and friends ask to borrow money, from a financial therapist
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-10 | by ( Cheyenne Devon | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Lending money to a friend or family member can put a strain on the relationship if you're not careful. Often, close friends or family members may be aware of the things you're spending money on, like clothes or vacations, and make judgements about what you can or can't afford. But it's important to remind yourself that no one knows your money better than you, Evans says. Give what you can affordDirectly saying no when a friend or family member asks for money can be hard, especially if you've loaned them money in the past. Say a friend asks to borrow $100, but you know giving them the full amount would significantly impact your budget.

WASHINGTON — As a candidate, Donald Trump promised to relieve consumers of high interest rates. Trump repeatedly said during the campaign that he would bring down interest rates without elaborating on how. He has suggested the president should have a say in determining rates set by the Federal Reserve and publicly berated the central bank and its chairman, Jerome Powell, for not lowering rates sooner. Trump has no direct control over the interest rates set by the Federal Reserve, which is determined by a committee that includes seven members appointed to 14-year terms along with five regional Reserve Bank presidents. “There aren’t a lot of policies that the president has at his disposal that can really lower rates,” said McLaughlin.

As president, Trump repeatedly came under fire from ethics groups for potential conflicts of interest relating to his businesses and brands. A source familiar with the process acknowledged that details are still being worked out with the Biden administration regarding the ethics agreement, which is required by law under the Presidential Transition Act and which applies to all members of the transition team. Updates to that bill requiring the ethics pledge were introduced by Trump ally Sen. Ron Johnson, a Wisconsin Republican, and signed into law by Trump himself in March 2020. The Trump team ignored a pair of key preelection deadlines to unlock transition activities with the Biden administration’s General Services Administration and the White House. The ethics agreement was also due by October 1.
