The Fed could slash interest rates in half next year, says UBS
The Fed may be compelled to slash interest rates in half next year to stave off a looming recession, according to a recent report by Swiss multinational investment bank UBS.
In its 2024-2026 outlook report published on Nov. 20, UBS said the U.S. economy is in for a shocker next year as consumers are running through the last shreds of post-pandemic savings.
I used to pirate movies but ever since torrent sites stopped working or started giving you .exe files, I stopped watching movies completely. Unless it's a movie on TV ofc.

Why the death of remote work isn’t making suburbs cheap again
Work-from-home made living in the suburbs a lot more expensive, and that’s unlikely to change even as more people return to the office.

Surveys show that as many as 92% of Americans have cut back on spending due to rising prices. Record-low housing affordability is setting off a vicious cycle.

Corporate debt collapse fears may come true this time
I'm so glad that when I applied for my first job 10 years ago, having no experience in any field, applications through websites and apps wasn't really a big thing and it was mostly done by sending e-mails. Gathered a list of 200 emails and sent those emails one by one, got a call two days later and then kept getting more calls with offers for the next half a year. I do remember registering to a couple big company websites to apply there - and just like the OP mentions, those instantly became ghost accounts :)
Some traders bet on a cataclysmic stock sell-off in December
Some traders are betting that the stock market will go into a cataclysmic selloff that could make the Covid crash look like a picnic.
According to Bloomberg, a trader recently placed a $30,000 bet that the CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX—known as Wall Street’s “fear index”—will shatter new highs.
The VIX typically trades on a scale of 10-80, with 20 representing the historic average. Anything above 20 implies that the S&P 500 will experience unusually high volatility—which is a precursor to a selloff.
This trader expects the VIX to clock in at 180 by Feb. 14; that’s a 1,100% increase from current levels.
VIX has never traded above 100, and it hasn’t even been above 35 (extreme volatility) this year.
While it’s easy to dismiss this trade as ludicrous—after all, investors make crazy trades all the time—it’s not an isolated bet.
As Bloomberg reports, traders have opened more than 20,000 contracts for VIX December options with the same target price. Just last week, 5,000 of those c
Can natural disasters set off a full-fledged banking crisis?
The wildfires in Hawaii this summer, Colorado in 2021, and Oregon in 2020 are bringing home to even die-hard climate change deniers the investment consequences of global warming.
The utilities serving the areas in each case are being sued for not shutting down their power grids during heat waves, contributing to some of the worst blazes in U.S. history.
PacifiCorp alone potentially faces $1 billion in class-action fines for the Oregon fires. Hawaiian Electric Industries’ shares plunged 40% during the fires in Maui.
But there is a sector that’s potentially on the hook for many times the size of those losses. And it’s not on anyone’s sell list—yet.
Banks.
