As families gather for Thanksgiving this year, money is one topic that likely won't be discussed. Yet experts say it's a perfect time to start the conversation, particularly with aging parents. More than half of Americans — 56% — say their parents never discussed money with them, according to a recent Fidelity survey of 1,900 adults ages 18 and up. For the wealth they do have, most Americans say they accumulated it on their own, with 80% identifying as self-made and only 5% saying they inherited it, Fidelity found. 1 sign of successYet experts say that not having a plan in place can leave individuals and their families vulnerable when unexpected events happen.

Bitcoin on Wednesday climbed back above $95,000, recovering slightly from a pullback this week that knocked it from record levels. The broader crypto market, as measured by the CoinDesk 20 index, gained 5%. Although bitcoin is widely viewed as a store of value and a digital alternative to gold, the cryptocurrency often trades in tandem with the stock market. "The bitcoin bull market has legs," Alex Thorn, head of firmwide research at Galaxy Digital, said in a report Wednesday.

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Tuesday defended his stance on cryptocurrency, saying he endorses owning some as a hedge against government spending and a ballooning deficit, as "national debt worries are never going to go away." Some on Wall Street believe that due to cryptocurrency's fixed supply, it will be a solid asset in the event that continued excessive federal spending — and a widening U.S. national debt — devalues the dollar. However, he acknowledged that cryptocurrency is also fairly new and doesn't yet have a proven track record. Cramer expressed skepticism that the government will be able to solve the debt issue any time soon. "I think bitcoin, ethereum and maybe even some other cryptocurrencies deserve a spot in your portfolio, too," Cramer said.

London-based hedge fund Granular Capital has revealed a renewed interest Borr Drilling , saying the offshore drilling company's shares could increase by up to 300% or 400%. The hedge fund's thesis centers on Borr's fleet of 24 modern jack-up rigs – specialized vessels used to maintain oil and gas production in shallow waters. Additionally, about one-third of the global jack-up fleet is approaching or has exceeded retirement age, suggesting a likely decrease in available equipment going forward. Singapore, which previously constructed 50% of global jackup rigs, has largely converted its manufacturing capacity to other uses. This week, Seatrium signed an agreement with India's Cochin Shipyard to build jack-up rigs, potentially at a lower cost in the future.
