We also look for a solid balance sheet with a close eye on the net debt (preferably net cash) level. Net debt is simply total debt minus cash and cash equivalents. If it is a negative number, that's a net cash position. Having a net debt position isn't a deal breaker, but we do need to ensure there are no large debts coming due on the horizon. Amazon (AMZN) is expected to have gone from a net debt position to a net cash position during the third-quarter.

US oil production reached an all-time high last week at 13.2 million barrels per day. If this trend continues, "millions of people will die," Stanford climate scientist Rob Jackson said.

☆ Priced for earnings recession, European equities could weather storm
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-17 | by ( Joice Alves | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +5 min

After a long period of scepticism towards European equities, some investors and analysts are finding cause for optimism. European companies are expected to enter their first earnings recession - two consecutive quarters of falling earnings - since 2020. But European stocks are better priced for a recession than their U.S. counterparts, said Matthew McLennan, co-head of First Eagle’s Global Value team. First Eagle's McLennan said the weaker euro in part supported the outlook for European equities. "There's some possibility that European equities, by both their valuation and their currency valuation, could do better than U.S. equities over a period of time".

☆ I use a rainy day cash fund to splurge on items like SZA tickets. My method is a little 'girl math' and a little 'cash stuffing,' but it works for me.

I bought SZA concert tickets with a rainy day cash fund. On the back in gold gel-pen letters, I'd written "Rainy Day Cash." Inside was a small amount of cash I'd received for my birthday a couple of months ago. Girl math became the topic of viral videos on TikTok in which women justify spending money on coffee, clothes, or concert tickets because the cost is relative to the value they place on it. Timothy Norris/GettyMy cash envelope was similar to another personal finance strategy called " cash stuffing ," by which people budget their monthly expenses in cash envelopes and only spend what they have set aside for each category.

It's even tougher to buy a home right now than it was during the peak of the mid-2000s housing bubble. For one, the labor market remains very strong, meaning demand will be supported — if people still have jobs, they still have money coming in to save for a home. Goldman SachsIn the Great Recession, rising unemployment hurt housing demand, bringing down home prices. Another reason Karoui thinks things are different today is what's happened in the adjustable-rate mortgage market. During the Great Recession, for example, unemployment stayed around current levels for several more months following Treasury yield curve inversion before rising meaningfully.
