When you change jobs, you’ll need to decide what to do with your old 401(k). A common choice is to roll the old 401(k) into an IRA, which can be a great option. But according to a recent Vanguard study, 28% of investors who did a 401(k) rollover into an IRA were in cash one year later.

Retirement accounts are often ignored, especially when spread across multiple institutions. Here’s how to fix it. Avoid…

Just over a decade ago, Bahodopi, a remote district in eastern Indonesia, was a tangle of lush, tropical forest. There were no paved roads nor 24-hour electricity. When executives from nickel mining firms visited to survey the area’s then largely untapped reserves, they stayed at modest hotels lit by candles.All of that began to change in 2014 when the Indonesian government took the drastic step of announcing a ban on all exports of raw nickel — the metal that is critical to the energy transition because of its use in batteries for electric vehicles.The decision encouraged Chinese companies, led by…

This article was written byFollowI take a fundamentals-based approach to value investing.I disagree with the common misconception held by many investors that low multiple stocks must be cheap. I look for companies that offer the best long-term durability at the most affordable prices.

I firmly believe this, yet there are situations where the development runway is so vast that price…

Some parents do a fine or at least adequate job. Some do not. For those adult children who did not have adequate parenting, there may come a time for a challenging decision: should you care for an aging parent who was emotionally absent, abusive, or neglectful during your childhood? Do you owe it to them? The emotional and ethical considerations are profound, with no one-size-fits-all solution. Legal and Moral Obligations Legally, most states do not mandate that adult children have to provide and pay for personal care for elderly parents. We have Medicaid and Medicare for health care. But there…

New legislation in Congress that was introduced by an unlikely duo of senators seeks to impose a credit card interest rate cap, with the potential for such a bill becoming law aided by President Donald Trump’s campaign pledge on the subject. Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Josh Hawley, R-Mo., introduced legislation that would cap credit card interest rates at 10% for five years after the bill’s enactment. The two populist senators touted the measure as a means of fulfilling a campaign pledge made by Trump’s campaign last year.The bill’s introduction coupled with White House support for the proposal could allow for the…
