☆ Biden's broad student-loan forgiveness efforts are officially over and borrowers are left wondering what's next: 'It feels like we're in a pretty hopeless situation'

Student-loan borrowers are entering the new year with uncertainty on their payments and debt relief. Ongoing litigation with the SAVE repayment plan makes it difficult for some borrowers to plan financially. Biden also officially withdrew his broad debt relief plans, and any future relief under Trump is unlikely. However, he had periods of unemployment through 1998, during which he could not afford student-loan payments. It's unclear what's in store for millions of federal student-loan borrowers in the new year.

A recent analysis of our portfolio revealed we own more than a couple cheap stocks, including one of our newer additions in Bristol Myers Squibb . To calculate this, we divided the P/E by the three-year annual earnings growth rate estimate, according to the FactSet earnings consensus estimates. So, in order to generate a three-year compound annual growth rate, we assumed 7.3% year-over-year earnings growth for the S & P 500 in 2027. Sometimes cheap stocks are cheap for a reason that will limit its upside potential, which mean they are what's known as a "value trap." Not all cheap stocks are worth buying, and not all expensive ones are worth dumping.

Starface World president Kara Brothers has learned a counterintuitive trick to being a good boss: embrace your flaws. "A flaw of mine that's helped me lead more effectively is that I'm naturally a very direct person," Brothers tells CNBC Make It. Prior to Starface, Brothers spent eight years at Google and a brief stint at Lightning AI, a New York-based AI software development firm. Addressing issues directly — whether tackling conflicts or identifying areas for improvement — strengthens trust and reduces uncertainty within the organization, she adds. "Waiting to give feedback until a formal performance review or a more comfortable moment can cause lingering uncertainty," Brothers says.

When addressing employees, Pichai often name-checked co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page to remind them of Google's scrappy roots.
