To navigate this change — and maybe even new job requirements — Mark Cuban says you'll need to be curious, agile and adaptable. And yet, "it's a skill that can be rare to find," Joseph Fuller, a professor at Harvard Business School, recently told CNBC Make it. Honing these three soft skills — curiosity, agility and adaptability — will never stop paying dividends for your career, Cuban adds. "The skills you need for a job today, 10 years, 100 years from now, are always the same," he says. Sharpening your curiosity skills will help you come up with stronger solutions to work problems faster, she added.

Dover on Thursday reported weaker-than-expected third-quarter results, pressuring shares of the industrial conglomerate with ties to AI data centers. Dover Why we own it : We own Dover as an industrial turnaround story with exposure to mega-themes, most notably the data center buildout to support artificial intelligence computing. That created headlines that implied Dover cut its full-year guidance, but in reality executives warned in advance that sales growth and earnings projections would be altered. To be sure, we are restricted from trading Dover's stock for the next 72 hours because Jim Cramer on Thursday mentioned the company on CNBC TV. Dover considers those areas its "growth platforms," and their increasing share of the portfolio carries positive implications for Dover's margins.

With the Federal Reserve rate-cutting cycle now underway, income investors may want to take a closer look at their portfolios. In this environment, Vanguard likes higher-quality, fixed-income assets. However, with high yield credit, Vanguard is focusing on bottom-up security selection due to the dispersion among issuers. CCC-rated bonds gained 12.5% year to date, as of Sept 30, versus the 4.3% return in AA credit, according to Vanguard. Individual investors can get access to corporate credit through mutual funds or exchange-traded funds comprising investment-grade or high-yield bonds.
