☆ My retirement savings have grown for 4 years straight thanks to a foolproof investing strategy I learned from 'Millionaire Teacher'

I followed Hallam's advice and invested in index and bond funds, and my portfolio has grown consistently for four years. I keep a ratio of 70% stock funds and 30% bond funds, with an even split between international and domestic stocks. If stock market index funds are unsexy, then bonds are flat-out frumpy. Dips in the stock market. In a wildly volatile year, when the stock market is moving by 20% or more, you could absolutely get in more frequently to try to rebalance your ratios.

Tax loss harvesting is a staple of year-end planning. Bonds are ripe for tax loss harvesting in the wake of the Federal Reserve's rate-hiking cycle. Consider that the longer-dated iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) has a year-to-date total return of about -7.3%, while the shorter-term iShares Core US Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG) has a total return of roughly 0.7% in 2023, according to Morningstar. "Tax loss harvesting is a silver lining for some of the pain they've been feeling the last couple of years."

Concerns from advisors Crypto's dramatic rise has largely come without the embrace of the traditional financial system, such as financial advisors and major banks. But not all financial advisors seem ready to embrace crypto just because investing in it is simpler. Client demand Even if advisors are skeptical of crypto, the arrival of bitcoin ETFs is sure to generate more questions from clients.

☆ Goldman Sachs thinks interest rates will stay even higher than the Fed expects
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-09 | by ( Jeff Cox | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Federal Reserve policymakers will have to hold interest rates higher than they think over the long term, according to Goldman Sachs. Even after the central bank starts cutting, which markets expect to happen in 2024, Goldman economists expect the Fed to have to hold its policy rate higher than it previously had indicated. However, Goldman said a variety of factors are lining up to make both the Fed's target and those of other global central banks unrealistic. Factors pushing policy rates up include high government deficits , investment in AI and carbon emission reductions and productivity increases from generative AI. Moreover, the ability of developed economies to keep growing in the face of higher rates also could diminish the need for cuts.

Wipro will prioritise employees with lower compensation among those eligible for a raise, Bandaru highlighted, adding that "top performers with higher compensation may not be covered in this cycle". Wipro, which had 244,707 employees as of Sept. 30, had already delayed its salary hike cycle. Some industry watchers said the move echoed a larger trend in the tech industry as it tried to address pay inequities among regions and cut payroll costs. While Infosys (INFY.NS) delayed giving hikes by two quarters, HCL (HCLT.NS) skipped hikes for managers.

Reuters Image Acquire Licensing RightsAnalysts at Morgan Stanley reckon the term premium and debt sustainability worries could prompt a rethink of the bill-coupon supply balance.

☆ UniCredit 'rebalancing' Amundi relationship in fee income drive

It's rebalancing a little bit, and will rebalance going forward," UniCredit CEO Andrea Orcel told analysts when presenting the bank's third quarter results. Sources told Reuters in May that UniCredit had been trimming the proportion of Amundi funds in its total AUM, paying penalties for failing to meet contractual minimums. Orcel said UniCredit will maintain its current "open architecture" approach to asset management, which involves partnering with all major players, including Amundi, to offer "best in class" products. Since taking over at UniCredit in 2021, the former investment banker, has been working to boost revenue from asset management in an effort to increase net fee income as a proportion of UniCredit's overall revenue. As he sought to review the 10-year Amundi distribution deal, Orcel signed an agreement with Azimut (AZMT.MI) in late 2022 giving the Italian asset manager access to UniCredit's clients.

A JetBlue plane tilted back with its nose in the air as passengers got off, the airline said. A passenger said it tilted when around half the passengers were off, and its tail hit the ground. AdvertisementAdvertisementA JetBlue plane tipped backwards, with its nose in the air and its front wheel off the ground, after landing at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport. JetBlue said in a statement that the plane tilted back "due to a shift in weight and balance" while passengers were getting off, the Associated Press reported. At that stage, "the plane abruptly tipped backwards so quickly and so intensely that the tail of the plane hit the pavement of the jet bridge and part of the plane door broke."

On Friday, the S & P 500 closed below its 200-day moving average for the first time since March 17. If the total-return version of the index closes below that level for five straight days, then the $2 billion Pacer Trendpilot US Large Cap ETF (PTLC) will automatically sell some of its all-stock portfolio to shift to a 50-50 split between equities and Treasury bills. And if the 200-day moving average itself then starts to fall, the fund will go to 100% T-bills. Still, the fund's rule tied to the 200-day moving average is an example of how the move of a stock or index across a widely-followed indicator can cause volatility. Year to date, the fund is up just under 5% — well below the gain of more than 11% for the SPDR S & P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) .

In a heat map of economy sectors which are running hot, the ratio of investment by real estate firms to gross domestic product (GDP) turned "red", a signal that the property market was overheating, the central bank said. "The increase in real estate firms' investment has been accelerated by urban redevelopment projects by major real estate developers," it added. "In some limited commercial areas in central Tokyo, transactions in the higher price range have been increasing," it said, adding that developments in the real estate transaction market "continue to warrant close monitoring". Japanese banks could also face risks from the rising possibility of interest rates remaining high overseas, it added. But credit costs could rise abruptly, particularly for loans to Asia, if overseas interest rates stay higher for longer, it warned.

☆ China should consider boosting consumption as real estate slump drags on, IMF says as it downgrades forecast
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-12 | by ( Charmaine Jacob | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

The slowdown in real estate is the main reason for China's sluggishness, Krishna Srinivasan, director of the Asia and Pacific department at the IMF said. "There has not been a comprehensive response to the problem and that has weighed both on investment in the real estate sector and consumer confidence." "One would have hoped that after China reopened, consumption would come back very strongly, but that has been undermined by confidence not coming back in the real estate sector," Srinivasan said. "A lot of the wealth is in the real estate sector, and that has not been resolved." The IMF trimmed its 2023 growth forecast for China's economy from 5.2% to 5% in its October update of its World Economic Outlook.

These are some of the activities that can be found at menopause retreats, a wellness trend carving a new niche in the tourism industry. Menopause retreats are tailored to help women navigate the different stages of perimenopause and menopause, and the array of symptoms that come with them — from hot flashes and night sweats to achy joints. Wellness retreats aren't new, of course, but ever since the pandemic, more resorts are promoting menopause-focused vacations — and more women are signing up for them. So instead of just going on a spa retreat, people started going on very specific purpose-driven retreats," Lisa Starr, a spa business consultant at Wynne Business Consulting and Education told CNBC Travel.

☆ China’s economy will be hobbled for years by the real estate crisis

Absorbing this “excess capacity” in the property sector will inevitably hurt China’s economic growth, according to Garcia-Herrero. The money from the sales funded their breakneck expansion, making real estate moguls some of the country’s richest people. The strategy largely worked until about three years ago when the Chinese government cracked down on excessive borrowing by the real estate industry because it was worried about the risk of financial instability. But overall, the property sector has contracted severely as it adjusts to a collapse in demand. “A fundamental rewiring of China’s economy will necessitate a focus on developing new industries, improving productivity, and bolstering rental markets,” said analysts from Stanford University and the ASPI.

The Fund sees China's GDP growth slowing to about 3.5% over the medium term, but this can be accelerated with economic reforms, she added. Some analysts see growing risk that China will drift into an era of Japan-like stagnation with an aging population and slowing productivity growth. "We expect that China's growth will slow to around 3-1/2 percent against the backdrop of demographic headwinds and slowing productivity growth," Kozack said. "But we also think that higher growth over the medium term is within reach for China. China should seize the opportunity to rebalance its economy through short-term macroeconomic policy support and medium term reforms."
