Hi. Aaron Weinman here. BlackRock''s bullish stance on all things environmental, social, and governance has drawn criticism from a number of politicians, both conservative and progressive. Those on the left of the aisle argue the asset manager could do more to support a transition to a low-carbon economy, while conservatives reckon BlackRock''s position on the climate crisis ostracizes heavy-carbon emitting industries. BlackRock''s head of international and corporate strategy, Mark Wiedman, told a conference panel that helping finance the transition is an integral way to grow the firm''s private-equity unit, and by extension, its alternative-assets business.

By Victoria Waldersee and Emma-Victoria Farr FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Porsche AG shares had a see-saw start on Thursday, after Volkswagen defied volatile markets to list the sports car brand at a valuation of 75 billion euros ($72 billion) in Germany''s second-biggest market debut. The shares closed at 82.50 euros ($80.74), returning to their issue price from the session high of 86.76 euros. Volkswagen priced Porsche AG shares the top end of the indicated range, and raised 19.5 billion euros via the listing to fund the group''s electrification drive. Cornerstone investors including Qatar Investment Authority, T. Rowe Price, Norway''s sovereign wealth fund and Abu Dhabi''s laid claim to 40% of the share offering. Some 25% plus one ordinary share went to the Porsche and Piech families via Porsche SE, Volkswagen''s largest shareholder which now has a blocking minority on the sportscar brand. The shares peaked at 86.76 in late morning. The share performance puts Porsche AG''s valuation at about 75.

The Globe and Mail published an article on Sept. 23 that discussed the terrifying — and highly profitable — journey of a bank stock . The bank in question was Royal Bank of Canada (NYSE: RY ), Canada’s largest company and arguably one of North America’s best bank stocks to buy. Although the article is behind a paywall — I’m a subscriber — I can give readers the gist of Globe contributor John Heinzl’s article. Heinzl assumes that an investor bought 10,000 Canadian dollars of Royal Bank stock on Sept. 21, 2002, and held it for the next 20 years, adding no additional contributions over the two decades. While it got hit on two occasions: Late 2008 into 2009 (financial crises) and March 2020 (Covid-19), it ultimately delivered an annualized total return of 12.45% over 20 years. Your 10,000 Canadian Dollars would be worth 104,618 Canadian dollars. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA: SPY ) had an annualized total return of 9.7% over the same period, 280 basis points less. Canadian investors love their bank stocks because of the dividends.

[Editor’s note: “Buy the SoFi Stock Dip for 25X Gains in 10 Years ” was previously published in April 2022 . It has since been updated to include the most relevant information available.] There’s a lot of uncertainty in the market right now. But when I look at stocks, I see some huge opportunities . That’s exactly what uncertainty creates — opportunity. After all, historically speaking, the best times to buy stocks were during periods of peak uncertainty. This was true after the dot-com crash. It was true after the 2008 financial crisis. And it was true during the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. Right now, it seems like another opportune moment where investors could make fortunes by simply abiding the acronym: B.T.F.D . If I’m right, then there are dozens of 10X — or even 20X — opportunities in the market today. But none are perhaps better than SoFi ( SOFI ) stock. In fact, over the next few years, SOFI stock can soar even more than 25X from current levels! SoFi Stock Bull Thesis For those who are unaware, SoFi is a personal finance app that’s trying to rewrite the rules of consumer banking.
Hi. I''m Aaron Weinman . Roughly a dozen investment bankers said their farewells to Goldman Sachs on Friday. Senior associates and vice presidents in Goldman''s tech, media, and telecommunications team were handed pink slips in a further sign of strain on a Wall Street apparatus that is hamstrung by depressed dealflow, and suffering from a slowing economy and stubbornly high inflation. The cuts come after Goldman''s investment bank logged a 41% dip in year-over-year revenues in July. Denis Coleman, the bank''s chief financial officer, also reintroduced Goldman''s dreaded annual performance review , a process that helps the bank weed out underperforming individuals who are likely to be let go.

Well, folks, the talk of the week has certainly been about the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting this past Wednesday. As we talked about on Thursday , the Federal Reserve voted unanimously to raise key interest rates by 75 basis points for the third-straight time. The Fed’s decision on Wednesday was, of course, fully expected. I was hoping for a 100-basis-point increase, but the Fed doesn’t listen to me! What was a little surprising was that the Fed revealed it wants to get the Fed Funds rate to 4.25% by year end. So, we can expect another 75-basis-point hike in November and a 50-basis-point increase in December. And then the Fed is going to hold rates at that level for an extended period of time until they make sure that inflation is defeated. The reality is the Fed has done a number on the market. They are purposely deflating assets, stocks, real estate – anything sensitive to interest rates. And, simply put, folks, what the Fed is doing destroys the housing market. In today’s Market 360, we’re going to talk about what the Fed’s rate increases mean for the housing market… and what it means for homebuilder stocks.
Whether you travel often or just take the occasional vacation, a travel rewards credit card can be an excellent companion. With every purchase, you can use a good travel card to collect points or miles that are redeemable for flights, hotels or other travel bookings. And many travel cards come with extra benefits, too, from free entry into airport lounges to statement credits toward application fees for TSA PreCheck and other programs that expedite security screening at the airport. Take a look at our picks of the best travel rewards credit cards. If you’d rather have a card that offers cash-back rewards, see The Best Cash-Back Credit Cards . For each card (except premium travel cards), we’ve calculated a typical annual rebate based on spending patterns in the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Expenditure Survey and assuming $25,000 spent on the card annually. For cards that do not waive their annual fee the first year, we’ve subtracted the annual fee from the cash value of the annual rebate.

Futures Crash, Stocks At 2022 Lows; Yields, Dollar Explode As UK Stimulus Plan Sparks Global Market Panic One week after stocks suffered their biggest drop since June, futures are in freefall on Friday with the dollar soaring to the now default daily record high… ... 10Y yields exploding higher, surging more than 10bps so far today... ... in what appears to be the latest bond market flash smash which has pushed 10Y yields to the highest level since 2010... ... and S&P futures plunging over 1.4%, and the S&P set to open at a fresh 2022 low... ... with futures set to drop nearly 5% (or more) for a 2nd consecutive week, and down 5 of the past 6 weeks! Besides the soaring dollar, two other drivers contributed to today''s widespread market panic: first, the shocking UK mini budget saw the country''s new administration slash tax rates by the most since 1970s at a time when the country is about to enter recession and is battling with runaway inflation which crashed UK bonds and sent the pound tumbling to a 37 year low as markets priced in a more aggressive pace of tightening to offset the government’s growth plan, second, traders also freaked out over a Goldman research report which slashed the bank''s S&P price-target to just 3,600 from 4,300, making the bank one of the biggest bears on Wall Street.
The content originally appeared on: CNN New York (CNN Business)JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon testified on Capitol Hill Thursday for the second straight day. This time, he faced his longtime critic Sen. Elizabeth Warren . Warren began her line of questioning by asking how many instances of fraud had been reported to his bank from customers using Zelle, a popular payment platform jointly owned by a number of banks including JPMorgan. Zelle, Warren said, has helped boost bank profits while “defrauding” customers out of at least half a billion dollars. Consumers sent $490 billion through Zelle in 2021, of which an estimated $440 million were lost through fraud and scams, according to Early Warning Services, Zelle’s parent company. Warren said she had reached out to JPMorgan and other banks in July for an answer but had been “stonewalled” and received no information. Warren slams Jerome Powell over interest rate comments: ‘I’m very worried that the Fed is going to tip this economy into recession’ “You didn’t provide any of the information that we requested,” she told Dimon in the Senate hearing. “Is that because you don’t keep track of when your customers report fraudulent Zelle transactions?

BofA Securities revised its outlook for the fed-funds rate target and now sees it reaching 4.75% to 5% by March, economist Michael Gapen wrote in a note. That''s up from a previous forecast of 4% to 4.25%. The revision was made in response to Wednesday''s release of projections, showing the median participant on the Federal Open Market Committee "is projecting more near-term rate increases than we had expected." The policy-sensitive 2-year yield broke above 4% and carved out another almost 15-year high after Wednesday''s Fed policy decision, while stocks finished sharply lower across the board.

Swiping your credit card is easy. But if you carry a balance, paying it off could be a challenge. Especially if you don''t know your credit card''s annual percentage rate (APR). And shockingly, a lot of people don''t. In a December 2021 Bankrate study, 41% of cardholders carrying a balance didn’t know their credit card APR. And with the Federal Reserve raising interest rates , knowing your APR is important now more than ever. What is an APR? Your credit card APR, or your interest rate, is how much extra money you''ll pay on any balance you don''t pay off in full at the end of each billing cycle. This rate is typically stated as a yearly rate, and it may be a fixed rate or a variable rate. Currently, the average APR for new credit cards is 21.59%. If you don''t know your APR, you can find it in your credit card''s terms and conditions. SEE MORE The Best Cash-Back Credit Cards Most credit cards operate on a variable rate, meaning the rate can change, often rising or falling in tandem with interest rates set by the Federal Reserve.

In 2021, companies within the fintech sector raised well over $120 billion . Roughly $1 out of every $5 of venture capital funding went to a fintech startup. Clearly, many large investors were enthusiastic about fintech firms. For those who also want to get on this bandwagon, I will present seven fintech stocks to buy for royal returns. However, macroeconomic challenges and a looming recession have restrained fintech stocks through the first nine months of 2022. Specifically, the KBW Nasdaq Financial Technology Index has lost 27.5% so far this year. By comparison, the S&P 500 index has declined 18.7%. Yet the sharp retreat of fintech shares has made the valuation of many of these names more attractive, creating compelling buying opportunities for growth investors. Moreover, the long-term outlook of the fintech space still appears to be attractive. That’s because of the continued rise of e-commerce and the growing adoption of mobile payments. With that said, here are the seven fintech stocks that could generate long-term returns.

European markets are primed for the hotly anticipated Porsche initial public offering following news that Volkswagen is targeting a €75bn valuation upon its debut. Landing on the Frankfurt stock exchange on the 29th September, the stock’s flotation is set to be a major test for a continent that’s struggled in the wake of record-breaking inflation and the outbreak of war between Russia and Ukraine. With the likes of Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, JP Morgan and other leading financial institutions backing Porsche, the company’s debut is certain to be closely scrutinized throughout Europe for indications of new investor confidence. Despite widespread market volatility, Porsche’s push to go public coincides with its parent company, Volkswagen Group’s mounting ambitions to expand into the electric vehicle space. Following on from the successful launch of its ID.4 EV and Porsche Taycan models, an IPO is likely to be an excellent opportunity to secure funding to grow the production of more EVs. ( Image: Statista ) With Porsche’s revenue almost tripling in the space of 10 years - in spite of the pandemic conditions of 2020 and 2021 - the prospect of a listing for a company earning in excess of EUR 30 billion is likely to be tantalizing for many investors. “Porsche’s IPO could be one of the most interesting offerings ever,” said Maxim Manturov, head of investment advice at Freedom Finance Europe. “Unofficial information suggests that Porsche has already attracted the attention of investors and received pre-orders at valuations ranging from €60bn to €85bn.

TOKYO (AP) — Asian shares mostly rose Tuesday, after Wall Street closed higher on a late buying spree following recent losses as investors await another interest rate increase by the U.S. Federal Reserve. Markets have been jittery over whether the Fed’s plan to cool the hottest U.S. inflation in four decades might be too aggressive and throw the economy into a recession by pumping the brakes on growth too hard. Japan reported that its consumer inflation jumped in August to 3.0%, its highest level since November 1991 but well below the 8% plus readings in the U.S. Core inflation excluding volatile fresh food prices climbed 2.8%. The Bank of Japan is set to have a two-day monetary policy meeting later this week, although analysts expect the central bank to stick to its easy monetary policy. “Expectations are that easy monetary policies are to remain in the upcoming meeting this week. The BOJ Gov. Haruhiko Kuroda previously mentioned that he wanted to see a ‘stable and sustainable rise’ in both wages and prices before considering any policy shift,” Yeap Jun Rong, a market strategist at IG in Singapore, said in a report.
