Growth in Hims & Hers Health is showing no signs of stopping, according to Morgan Stanley. Analyst Craig Hettenbach initiated the telehealth company with an overweight rating and $42 price target.

Hettenbach's thesis also relies on advantages presented by the experienced board of Hims & Hers Health.

☆ Taco Bell chicken nuggets: Taco Bell is adding something unusual to its menu
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-17 | by ( Jordan Valinsky | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

New York CNN —Taco Bell is veering away – slightly – from its Mexican-inspired cuisine, going all-American for its newest offering. Beginning Thursday, the chain is adding chicken nuggets to its menu for a limited time. But it’s part of Taco Bell’s plan to expand its poultry portfolio as younger eaters largely prefer it over red meat. Prices vary depending on the city, with Taco Bell suggesting a retail price of $3.99 for five nuggets with one sauce and $6.99 for 10 nuggets with two sauces. The last time Taco Bell served anything closely resembling chicken nuggets was in 2017, when the “Naked Chicken Chips” was also a limited time offering.

Although the Teamsters claim to represent 7,000 Amazon workers nationwide, that accounts for less than 1% of the company’s US workforce. Strike authorization votes are often approved, even if the union members never actually go on strike. While an upstart union, the Amazon Labor Union won such a vote at Amazon’s Staten Island facility in April 2022. Many of the 7,000 Teamsters that the union refers to as “Amazon employees,” however, are drivers for independent contractors making deliveries for Amazon and no one else. Those drivers are based at seven different Amazon facilities, including those who authorized strikes in Queens and Skokie.

☆ Trump’s tariffs could usher in a worst-case economic scenario not seen since the 1970s
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-17 | by ( Elisabeth Buchwald | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

Now, Americans may have to actually brace for stagflation — something the nation’s economy hasn’t experienced in over half a century. Just over a month from now, Trump will have the power to levy tariffs on other nations at the flick of a pen. When the Fed responded to high levels of unemployment in the 1970s by cutting rates to relieve pressure businesses faced, it later had to contend with higher inflation. The path to stagflationThe tariffs Trump has floated aren’t inherently inflationary, Michael Feroli, chief US economist at JPMorgan, told CNN. But higher tariffs can quickly fuel cascades of price increases if Americans expect higher inflation because of them and demand higher wages, which, in turn, could result in businesses continuing to raise prices.

☆ With the Fed poised to cut rates, 'there's an urgency to act now' to get best returns on cash, expert says
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-17 | by ( Lorie Konish | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

The Fed may cut interest rates by one-quarter of a percentage point on Dec. 18 at the end of its two-day meeting, experts predict. With the Federal Reserve expected to cut interest rates again this week, it's a great time to earn competitive returns on cash, experts say. Consumers who are tempted to hold out may miss an opportunity to lock in better returns on their cash. By putting that money to work now, you can lock in yields that compare very favorably to inflation, he said. Alternatively, investors may opt to invest in another government investment that also offers inflation protection — Treasury Inflation Protected Securities.

And even among those who might have achieved the American dream — higher earners with college degrees — life satisfaction has slipped. At the same time, there's a bittersweet parallel running alongside the shrinking of the American dream. But now that the American dream is within reach for these people, it's already shrinking.
