Eight analysts upgraded their target prices on two Canadian stocks in the past week, giving both more than 65% upside potential. Wedbush Securities analysts Gerald Pascarelli and Antoine Legault hiked their price target for the stock's U.S.-listed shares to $2.50, giving it an upside of 18%. Investment banks Beacon Securities and Alliance Global Partners are significantly more bullish on the stock, giving it upside of 110% and 75%, respectively. VerticleScope reported revenue of $17.9 million, compared to $16.6 million expected by analysts. However, analysts believe the worst is behind it, as all eight covering the stock raised their price targets after the company's earnings.

☆ White House targets 'junk fees' on student loans and other higher education costs
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-15 | by ( Annie Nova | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

The White House is talking up its actions to reduce the expenses burdening students, including moving to end origination fees on student loans. While most private lenders have done away with student loan origination fees, the federal government still charges them. Federal student loan borrowers can face expenses of 1% to 4% of their total borrowing amount. The White House said on Friday it considers these "junk fees," which it defined as "hidden costs or surprise fees that companies and institutions include on customer or student bills, increasing their costs." "By eliminating origination fees on federal student loans, borrowers should be able to borrow less to cover their costs," said Betsy Mayotte, president of The Institute of Student Loan Advisors, a nonprofit.

Gold tends to gain value when people lose faith in banks and money, as it did in the Great Recession. Earlier this month, the gold contract for April settled at $2,126.30 per ounce, the highest level since the contract's creation in 1974. Gold, nostalgia and the end of the world...At the heart of people's apocalyptic fantasies is nostalgia, Berger said. When everything else is going down the tubes, gold is the one thing that's likely going to do well. Trump has called for returning to the gold standard and, at least at one point, owned up to $200,000 of the metal, reports found.

Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., who announced last fall he would not seek re-election, said Tuesday he will resign from Congress at the end of next week, further shrinking the GOP's already razor-thin majority. "Today I am announcing that I will depart Congress at the end of next week," Buck said in a statement. His departure will cut the House Republican margin to 218-213; Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., will still have two votes to spare before needing Democrats to govern. Speaking to reporters shortly after the news broke, Johnson suggested he did not get a heads-up from Buck. Most recently, Buck broke with his party and was one of three Republicans who voted against the impeachment of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas.

But where banks' exposure to commercial real estate is concerned, locating that fire may be difficult. Rising interest rates quickly increased the cost of borrowing for investors in commercial real estate, including offices and multifamily homes. It doesn't reveal details such as borrowers' track records, said Mark Hillis, a former chief risk officer for commercial real estate at JPMorgan. There's also varying concentration risk: the largest banks with commercial real estate exposure are more diversified, meaning that any losses won't be as devastating, Baker said. "We think very few banks will run into issues just from their commercial real estate exposure," Reidy said.

NEW YORK (AP) — A day after Taylor Swift made music history at the Grammy Awards, a band formed long before she was born made their own history: The Grateful Dead have broken the record for the most Top 40 albums to chart on the Billboard 200. The Grateful Dead pulled out ahead of Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra with 59 total Top 40 entries on the chart Monday following the No. 25 debut of their archival release “Dave’s Picks, Volume 49: Frost Amphitheatre, Stanford U., Palo Alto, CA (4/27/85 & 4/28/85).” Elvis and Sinatra are stuck at 58 albums apiece. It's a remarkable run, made even more special since the group disbanded following the death of Jerry Garcia in 1995. Forty-one of the band's 59 entries in the Top 40 have happened since 2012, thanks to the popularity of the series of archival albums compiled by David Lemieux.

She gave Etsy another look because it had become a place where she could sell digital printables, meaning there was no need for inventory. Lam found an online Etsy course from a platform called Gold City Ventures and decided to sign up for it. Since 2022, she has sold over $34,000 Canadian dollars ($25,000) in digital printables, according to screenshots of her account viewed by Business Insider. In January 2022, Lam only made a net profit of CA$3.45. However, she began to design Valentine's Day printables that included religious scripture on them, and those sold, she said.
