Last week was a rough one for our bets, going just 2-5 against the spread in our seven weekly picks. The losing week brings us to 18-17 on the season, so while we're still a little up, there's work to be done to get back to our winning ways.

Thankfully, this Saturday offers plenty of underdog action that could serve bettors well in a pinch. Michigan State visits Michigan in the biggest rivalry game on the board, and we'll see if Alabama, Auburn, and Georgia... Читать дальше...

When stocks price in bad news, they often do it gradually.  But in fixed income, investors often find that bonds priced at par see the next trade at $70 when something goes awry.  As a result, the time to remove skeletons from a fixed income portfolio is before all the scary news is in the price. The current benign period in fixed income markets, before the onset of Fed tightening and balance sheet unwind, is a great time to get started. 

Understanding the credit risk... Читать дальше...

In the Oval Office on Friday, President Donald Trump was asked again about his previous comment that we're in "the calm before the storm," winking in response to a reporter who wondered what he meant by it.

"You'll find out," Trump said after his wink. "We'll see."

During a Thursday night photo op at the White House with senior military officials, Trump said the moment "maybe" represented "the calm before the storm."

"What's the storm?" a reporter asked. "On Iran? Читать дальше...

I didn't purposely set out to live a minimalistic lifestyle.

I didn't reach some kind of breaking point or encounter any life-changing event that I wasn't fully in control of.

It just kind of happened.

As crazy as it sounds, I just felt like living in a van.

Since there's not a ton of room in a van and storage units aren't cheap, it made sense to get rid of much stuff as I possibly could.

Consumerism overload

In 2008, I owned a house and a duplex. Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic Rep. Carol Shea-Porter, the first woman elected to Congress from New Hampshire, said Friday she's retiring at the end of her term.

Shea-Porter, 64, said in a statement that "the time has come in my life to pause and decide on a different path."

Shea-Porter, who was a community activist before coming to Washington, has cut a reliably liberal profile in Washington, voting for the "Obamacare" health law during her second term and the 2010 financial overhaul bill. Читать дальше...

A man was spotted Friday wearing a "Build the Wall" hat to an event celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month at the White House.

The slogan on the hat references President Donald Trump's signature campaign pledge to build a wall along the US-Mexico border to help curb illegal immigration.

A White House pool report identified the man as Fredy Burgos, a Virginia Republican.

Late last month, companies began constructing prototypes for the promised wall. Читать дальше...

President Donald Trump in an interview with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee defended the first lady over backlash she received for wearing stiletto heels before boarding flights to hurricane-ravaged areas.

Trump made the comments in response to a question from Huckabee on Melania Trump's high approval ratings, saying that she is a "private person" who "loved her other life."

When you're stuck in a less-than-fulfilling job, everyone else's work can start to look more appealing than yours. So it can be tempting to grab the first opportunity that comes your way — because your new boss is nice, the hours are less grueling, or the snacks are plentiful.

And while this isn't necessarily the wrong way to forge a career path — snacks are important! — it can be helpful to take a step back before you sign any employment contracts. Читать дальше...

So, I'm financially independent and no longer work, but I still have a load of debt. And I love it. This debt has made me some serious money.

I'll explain all, but let's back up for a moment.

That debt is my home mortgage. I bought my last home for about $175,000. I had the cash to buy it outright, but didn't. Читать дальше...

Rental properties give you, the investor, the power to determine your profits.

Let's be clear: Buying a home doesn't always give you the biggest return on your money.

From 1890 to 2012 the inflation-adjusted return on a house was 0.17% — a fraction of the 6.27% return for investments in the stock market over the same time period.

But there is a way to earn similar, or even greater, investment returns in real estate: owning a rental property.

In this case... Читать дальше...
