Snag a 5.8% Dividend From This Solid, Recession-Proof MVP

Steer Clear of “High-Risk” Zero-Rated Robinhood Stock
The company pioneered commission- and fee-free investing so that anyone who wanted to try investing for the first time could give it a shot. It was unheard of at the time. But these days, this company bleeds cash. Today, I’m sharing the “High-Risk” stock Robinhood...

Unemployment Rate Could Top 9% in the Next Recession

A Smoother Supply Chain Looks Imminent — but There’s a Catch

Rate of Change Shows the True State of the Housing Market
A headline caught my eye: “Home prices cooled in July at the fastest rate in the history of the S&P Case-Shiller Index.” That sounds like a bear market. CNBC backed up the headline by stating: U.S. home prices cooled in July at the fastest rate in the history of...
Read Between the Headlines: Details Hidden in Rent Drop News
Misleading headlines happen, which is accurate for economic news. That’s unfortunate. In many cases, the headline is all that analysts or investors read. A recent example of an incomplete headline is “Rents Drop for First Time in Two Years After Climbing to Records.”...

U.S. Kicked the Oil Can Down the Road to Lower Gas Prices
