Companies with cash flow and great balance sheets are still well positioned. But the more speculative companies were down more than the 3% market drop. Digital Turbine (APPS -6.41%) fell as much as 10.9% on Monday, Quantum Computing (QUBT -8.50%) was off 10.1%, and…

Most stateside investors aren’t familiar with the rapidly expanding chain providing deeply discounted groceries and other household essentials to a widening audience with 2,772 locations at the start of this year. It’s North America’s fastest growing player in its space, but you have to travel to Mexico to see it in action.

Tax preparation is one of those services where prices can vary a lot. As a general rule, the more you do, the less it will cost. The more an accountant does, the more it will cost. It’s not unreasonable for a professionally prepared tax return to cost several hundred dollars or more. How much this costs will depend on the cost of living in your area (tax returns in Manhattan are more expensive than in Mississippi, the lowest cost of living state in the U.S.), how busy the tax preparer is, and other similar factors. 📓 Quick Summary: Based on…
I remember the first time I filed my taxes. I was dropping something off at the post office when I saw tables full of cardboard boxes filled with forms with the now-familiar IRS eagle and scales logo. Tax season! Those boxes were so intimidating. I was so scared of filing my taxes wrong and getting audited. Fortunately, a friend of mine told me that I didn’t need those forms. There was software for that now and the software was really good. I used TurboTax for many years before transitioning to an accountant when my business required it. Looking back, the…
All of the major stock market indices were sharply lower on Monday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq-100 all down by about 3% for the day, adding to recent declines. The main reason for the declines is President Donald Trump’s intensifying pressure on Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Power to lower interest rates.

To be sure, Trump’s criticism of the Fed, and Powell in particular, is nothing…
