If you are looking for yield today, rising interest rates have increased your options. For example, the 30-year Treasury bond's yield is around 5.3% as of this writing. By comparison, the S&P 500 index (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) is only yielding around 1%. But there are still two big reasons why investors may want to buy a high-yield dividend stock like Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO), even though its 2.4% yield isn't even close to the 30-year Treasury yield.
A bond is an agreement between the lender and the borrower. The lender provides a fixed amount of cash, while the borrower pays interest at a fixed rate until the loan matures. When the loan matures, the borrower repays the bond's principal. Everything is fixed, and both the value of the interest collected and the bond's principal are slowly eroded by inflation. It doesn't matter that 30-year Treasuries are considered safe because they are backed by the U.S. government. The big inflation risk is still the same.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
If you have a short investment time horizon, inflation may not be a big issue for you. In which case, the 5.3% yield of a 30-year Treasury would probably be more attractive than Coca-Cola's 2.4% yield. However, if you have a long time horizon, Coca-Cola's yield comes with something that a Treasury doesn't: Growth.
Coca-Cola is one of the world's largest consumer staples companies. It has an incredible history of growth, highlighted by 64 annual dividend increases. That makes the company a Dividend King. But think about that for a second, you can collect 30 years of the same income from a bond or 30 years of increasing income from Coca-Cola. Since the start of 1996, roughly 30 years ago, the company's dividend has increased by nearly 750%. That dividend growth was driven by the company's growth, which also led to an over 300% increase in the stock price. If you hold a bond to maturity, all you get back is the principal.

Bank accounts are important financial tools that help protect your money and even allow you to earn interest. But depending on where you bank — and how you use your account — certain fees can chip away at your balance. From monthly maintenance charges to overdraft penalties, these costs can add up quickly if you're not paying attention.
Understanding the most common bank fees, why financial institutions charge them, and how to avoid them can help you keep more of your money.
Fees serve as added revenue for banks. If a bank charges a fee for account maintenance or an optional service, the institution can put those funds toward operational expenses and even generate additional income — at the customer's expense. After all, a bank is a business, and a business's goal is to earn money.
Recent data shows that banks have become increasingly dependent on fees over the years, especially those charged for overdrafts and non-sufficient funds (NSF). In fact, according to the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau (CFPB), NSF and overdraft fees account for about two-thirds of a typical bank's fee-based revenue.

ATLANTA — Freshman quarterback Faizon Brandon had an understated but effective performance in his first Tennessee road game, beating Georgia Tech 45-24 on Sept. 12.
Brandon tossed two touchdown passes, avoided catastrophic mistakes, leaned on a ground game that rushed for almost 300 yards and let his defense make game-changing plays. That was enough for the 18th-ranked Vols (2-0) to hold off the Yellow Jackets (0-2).
Tennessee plays Kennesaw State on Sept. 19 (7:45 p.m. ET, SEC Network) at Neyland Stadium.
Here's a quick rundown of Brandon's performance against Georgia Tech for the first road win of his young career.
Brandon was 10-of-21 passing for 148 yards, two TDs and no interceptions against Georgia Tech. And he also rushed for 22 yards.

Angel investor and All-In Podcast host Jason Calacanis warned that allowing Chinese electric vehicles into the U.S. could devastate domestic automakers even as their low prices attract consumers, reacting to Sen. Elissa Slotkin's (D-Mich.) claim that President Donald Trump could loosen barriers as part of a China deal.
"This would be the end of the US automotive industry — but consumers will love to buy these cars," Calacanis wrote in an X post on Wednesday. He added, "Everywhere I go, from the Middle East to Europe to Mexico, the streets and Uber fleets are filled with dirt-cheap Chinese EVs," calling such U.S. access "a disaster."

During the September 8 episode of Mad Money, Jim Cramer turned his attention to Enbridge Inc. (NYSE:ENB), examining escalating geopolitical tensions. He commented:
As long as the war with Iran drags on, it's easy to recommend the refiners like a Valero or a Marathon. I don't see it ending any time soon, not with the US and Iran trading volleys this evening at islands and ships in the Strait. But how about a pipeline that moves about 30% of all crude produced in North America? Now, I'm talking about Enbridge which has a 5.5% yield. Also has a natural gas, you know, it transports 20% of the natural gas that's consumed in America. Okay, it's Canadian, but it's not caught up in the tariff fight because slapping tariffs on Canadian energy would be economic suicide for our country.
Cramer's focus on Enbridge Inc. (NYSE:ENB) highlights the structural dominance of its midstream network. The company operates as a significant transport network for North American energy, moving approximately 30% of all crude produced on the continent. Moreover, its vast utility and transmission network handles 20% of the natural gas consumed in the United States. The company's toll-road business model generates highly predictable cash flows, supporting an attractive dividend yield of roughly 5.6%. For income-focused investors, the combination of essential operational volume and reliable capital return creates a defensive cushion during volatile market cycles.
The company's defensive moat goes into cross-border trade and regional security. As Cramer pointed out, imposing punitive tariffs on Canadian energy imports would amount to severe economic self-harm for the United States, given the deep interdependence of North American energy grids.
Even with steady toll revenues, Enbridge Inc. (NYSE:ENB) carries a heavy debt load that comes with the territory of running massive pipeline networks, with long-term debt sitting at approximately C$104 billion. Because building and maintaining energy infrastructure requires heavy borrowing, higher interest rates hit financing costs, which can occasionally weigh on income-seeking investors.

The latest addition to the Formula 1 calendar had already sparked plenty of discussion in the paddock before the weekend. Most of the conversations centred on safety and whether the track around the IFEMA complex would actually prove to be a 'car killer', as several teams feared after the rather chaotic F3 test.
Another aspect that attracted plenty of interest was La Monumental, Turn 12 of the new circuit. It is the corner with 13.5 degrees of banking, which equates to an incline of around 24%.
This is less than the final corner at Zandvoort – the Arie Luyendyk corner has 18 degrees of banking – but despite that, Pirelli describes La Monumental as the toughest corner on the entire F1 calendar for the tyres.
"Basically the peak of the vertical energy is not higher than in other corners that we have in the calendar, like in Qatar, the banking in Zandvoort, et cetera. It's more about the time you are under load and the continuous load that you have," Pirelli's chief engineer Simone Berra explained.
"So basically instead of two or three seconds, you have 5.5 seconds under those loads. So you have double the duty cycle in that area. That is the main thing to keep in mind and what we are considering in our calculations."

If you're looking for safe ways to grow your money and protect your savings, a high-yield savings account (HYSA) can be a great option. However, it's important to be aware that there are certain instances when you could lose money. So if you plan on opening a high-yield savings account, be sure you understand how to protect your principal and earned interest.
High-yield savings accounts are like traditional savings accounts except that they offer above-average interest rates. These accounts are available from banks and credit unions, particularly online financial institutions. The higher interest rate means you earn more on your deposited funds over time, allowing your savings to grow faster.
If you open an account with a federally insured financial institution, your savings account deposits are protected in case the institution fails. With banks, deposits are protected by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000 per institution, per depositor, per ownership category. With credit unions, deposits are similarly insured by the National Credit Union Administration.

The deafening roar of Kroger Field that fueled a 17-13 halftime lead eventually gave way to a much heavier, quieter reality. When the final whistle blew on a 45-17 loss to Alabama, the scoreboard reflected a fractured dream of an upset, leaving players and fans alike processing the sting of what could have been yet again.
For Will Stein, the immediate aftermath wasn't about pointing fingers; it was about raw accountability and a profound gratitude for a fanbase that delivered a championship-level atmosphere.
The fans showed up in full force, selling out Kroger Field for Will Stein's SEC debut, creating an environment that Stein described as "unbelievable," "loud," and "energetic." Recognizing the massive emotional investment of the crowd, he didn't mince words. "I apologize to our fans for the way that we finished," he admitted, fully aware of the collective heartbreak echoing through the stands and the locker room. "I know our guys are hurting."
That hurt can't carry on too long; the SEC is an unforgiving league, and the 2nd-half performance against Alabama can't bleed over to next week.
The first half offered a vivid glimpse into the program's potential that Will Stein spoke on before the season started. The defense hunted the ball, securing three takeaways, while the offense capitalized to carry a lead into the locker room. But the second half brought stalled drives and exhausted defenders. Pinned back by short fields, the defense was asked to hold back the Tide a few too many times. "When you're defending a short field virtually the entire half, and we weren't converting on third downs, that was tough on our defense," Stein noted, acknowledging the brutal physical toll.

Fundstrat's Tom Lee took the Future Proof Citywide stage earlier this year with CNBC's Scott Wapner for a session that landed in the middle of a jittery tape that included geopolitical conflict, oil spiking, private credit cracking, and fresh doubts about AI spending. Not too far off where we find ourselves currently, but with an awful lot of volatility and shifting, uncertain outlooks between these six months. While their conversation was a snapshot in time, you can expect more of this kind of sharp, thoughtful ****** ysis next week.
The contrarian take of the session was oil. High crude, Lee argued, is actually constructive for U.S. equities. With the U.S. as a net exporter, our economic competitors are importers, and stalled global growth pushes investors toward growth stocks, which is about 80% of the U.S. market. On AI CapEx, he pushed back on the sticker shock, claiming roughly $700 billion a year is a fraction of the $60 trillion global labor market and small change against daily moves in gold.
Lee also made the case that software had bottomed at the time, that enterprises building their own tools inherit the maintenance burden software companies exist to carry, and that private credit is genuinely bad but not a GFC repeat, with the real fix being taking private companies public rather than pushing private product into retail portfolios. On crypto, his argument shifted from a perspective of digital gold to one of plumbing whereby Wall Street tokenizes ****** ets, and AI agents needing a settlement rail that handles fractions of a penny.
His parting advice was the oldest one in the book, dressed in new clothes: miss the 10 best days of each year and a 16% average return goes to roughly nothing. Danger and opportunity show up together. Staying invested is the perpetual drumbeat of advisors to their clients, but one that needs banging louder when markets feel much less certain.
Future Proof Festival is September 14–17 in Huntington Beach and includes four days on the boardwalk with advisors, ****** et managers, and fintechs building the modern wealth management industry. Find us at the ETF Oasis and don't miss the stellar agenda we've got lined up.

Red Sox's $60M Prospect Not Expected to Come Up Due to Tough Injury originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
As the Boston Red Sox deal with multiple injuries on both sides of the baseball at the moment, there is certainly a path for some players to return to the big-league roster. One of those guys was Kristian Campbell, the former star prospect whom the Red Sox paid very early, a decision that hasn't exactly worked out to the fullest just yet.
However, it's also important to recognize that Campbell is very young, and with a ton of upside and what he's shown throughout the minor leagues this season, especially recently, there's a lot of hope that he can eventually be that guy.
While there seems to have been a possibility that he could have been called up over the past few days because of some of the injuries the Red Sox have dealt with, it's now being reported that because of his injury, it doesn't seem likely that he's going to get the call.
This is an unfortunate situation in what's been a tough past year or so for Campbell, but it's the harsh reality of Major League Baseball.

The number reads like a distant projection. Recent US data suggests the behavior is already further along than that.

A ~$1.7M portfolio split evenly between SCHD and JEPI targets $7,700/month using each fund's forward payout rate.
JEPI's monthly distributions have dropped sharply since 2022 as volatility fell, and recent payouts still vary from $0.34 to $0.45 per share.
Hold JEPI in an IRA and SCHD in a taxable account to maximize after-tax income from this two-fund strategy.

A portfolio of roughly $1.7 million, split evenly between SCHD and JEPI, targets $7,700 a month in distributions using each fund's current forward payout rate. Two tickers, one brokerage screen, nothing to rebalance beyond keeping the halves even. For a reader who finds a seven-holding portfolio intimidating, that simplicity is genuinely appealing, and it deserves to be said before the caveats begin.

At about $644.38 a share, Meta Platforms (META) stock carries options that price a range from roughly $418 to $993 for about a year out. The floor of that band would take about a third off a position, and the ceiling would add more than half. Wide as it is, the range carries only a normal premium over how much the shares actually moved in the past year.
What Could That Range Do To Your Shares?
On each share, the ceiling is a gain of about $349 and the floor a loss of about $226. The gap is lopsided because a price can rise without limit but cannot fall below zero. The options put roughly a two-in-three chance on the stock finishing between them.
That leaves roughly a 16% chance of finishing above the ceiling and roughly a 16% chance of finishing below the floor. For a holder, the downside tail is the one to sit with: about one-in-six odds of losing more than a third. The floor also sits more than $100 below $525.23, the lowest price of the past 52 weeks. The shares are already down 15.6% over twelve months, against a 17.9% return for the S&P 500, though they have returned 13.0% over the past three months.

After spending the morning at the Pentagon to mark the 25th anniversary of the September 11th tragedy, President Donald Trump apparently had another attack on his mind in the afternoon — posting the 5-year-old video of him telling January 6, 2021, rioters to go home after they violently stormed the Capitol building.
The video, which was posted in full on Trump's Truth Social account Friday without any further context, shows the president repeating his false claim that he won the 2020 election but telling rioters to go home: "We have to have peace. So go home, we love you, you're very special."
A White House spokesperson said Trump reposted the video Friday as "a reminder to everyone that what the Democrats did to weaponize the justice system against President Trump has been debunked thoroughly."
It's unclear what cases they were referencing — the criminal case against Trump concerning the Capitol attack was dismissed due to his win in the 2024 election.
Trump has been repeatedly emphasizing voter fraud in recent months, increasingly and without evidence accusing Democrats of cheating in elections. At the GOP midterm convention this week, he implored the audience to "cheat like ****** " to help Republicans keep control of Congress.

Dave Ramsey told caller Hazel her secret teen payments aren't a money problem but a marriage problem requiring full financial transparency and counseling.
Secret spending makes joint wealth-building impossible. Hiding $400 monthly from a spouse means losing its compounding potential in a Roth IRA or 529.
Transparency alone flips the outcome: a joint kid-support budget lets both spouses plan together, while secret contributions force decisions based on false information.

On the September 9 episode of The Ramsey Show, a caller named Hazel admitted she has been slipping money to her three teenagers from a prior marriage, quietly, from her own account, because her husband of almost seven years refuses to help pay for their sports and school costs. Dave Ramsey did not reach for a spreadsheet. He told her: "You don't have a combining money problem and you don't have a who pays for what problem. You have a marriage problem."

Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
In an announcement that dropped just mid-day Thursday, Alphabet announced a new software offering that will put Google Gemini artificial intelligence right on your PC. Download the "Gemini for desktop" app, install it, and any time you have a need for it going forward, you can hit "Alt + ******* e" on your personal computer (Option + ******* e if you use a Mac).

DE and CAT have surged 47% and 44% YTD respectively, roughly four times the industrial sector's gain, forcing holders to weigh profits against further upside.
PCAR, a comparable industrial name, has gained only 14% YTD alongside XLI, confirming the rally is stock-specific rather than a broad sector re-rating.

Peers Blink Charging (BLNK) and EVgo (EVGO) are down 18% and 53% YTD, leaving ChargePoint's rally entirely without peer support.

The dollar index (DXY00) on Friday rose by +0.06%. The dollar found support as a hawkish US CPI report pushed odds of an FOMC rate hike next week up to 88% from 75% on Thursday. Also, the 10-year T-note yield on Friday rose by +0.6 bp, supporting the dollar's interest rate differentials.
Friday's -2.4% decline in oil prices initially caused the 10-year T-note yield to drop, despite the CPI report. However, the CPI report caught up with the T-note market by the end of the day, and the 10-year T-note yield ended slightly higher.

Friday's Aug US CPI report of +0.4% m/m was in line with market expectations, but the core CPI report of +0.3% m/m was slightly stronger than market expectations of +0.2% m/m. On a year-on-year basis, the Aug CPI report of +3.4% y/y was unchanged from July and was in line with market expectations. Meanwhile, the Aug core CPI report of +2.4% y/y eased slightly from July's +2.5% and posted a new 5.5-year low, and was in line with market expectations.

It's halftime in Austin with Ohio State and Texas engaging in one of the most anticipated nonconference games of the college football season. The Buckeyes used some Longhorn mistakes and some excellent play on both sides of the ball to take a 20-3 lead into the locker room, which is banking the national narrative in this one.
We like to look back on the first half and take three observations and takeaways from what we saw through the first 30 minutes of action, and in this case, there's plenty to talk about. Here are three observations from what we saw from the Buckeyes and Longhorns in the first half of what should be one whale of a second half to finish this thing out.
Ohio State forces a fumble against Texas on the first play of the game😤

The defense hasn't been very stingy in stopping the run through the middle, but it has been very opportunistic in forcing two turnovers. Both of them led to two scores and have really been the difference in the game so far. You have to think that the turnovers aren't going to continue, so Ohio State will have to continue to make plays while getting equal possessions.

You don't put up 60+ points in back-to-back games for the first time since 1915 without a total team effort. But even then some Bulldogs are bound to distinguish themselves. Those valiant warriors in Red and Black are your MVDs, the Most Valuable Dawgs from Georgia's 70-20 victory over Western Kentucky.
Offense: Gunner Stockton. There's no point in overthinking this one. Gunner finished 13 of 16 for 234 yards passing and 5 touchdowns in a shade under two quarters of work. That's downright surgical in its efficiency. If he can continue to carve up defenses that way in the SEC schedule, the Bulldog offense is heading for a big year.
Defense:Chris Cole. Like most of the Bulldog starters Cole took limited snaps, but while he was in he was all over the Hilltopper offense. Cole finished with 3 tackles, 2 of them solo stops, and got consistent pass rush pressure both inside and outside. It was a really solid, consistent effort for the physically gifted linebacker.
Special teams: AJ Kruah. Kruah also led the team in tackles, by the way, but his forced fumble on the game's opening play set the tone for the day. On a day when Kirby Smart specifically called out his second and third teamers for not being prepared to play, Kruah absolutely came ready to work.
Go 'Dawgs!!!

Nike stock has fallen 40% year to date to $37, raising the question of whether it's dead money or set for a category-driven bounce.
On Holding is down 41% and Lululemon down 53% year to date, signaling a category-wide selloff rather than a Nike-specific execution failure.
With SPY up 12% and XLY down just 5%, athletic apparel's 40-53% collapse stands out as a sector being systematically repriced.

Opening statement
Give all the credit to Duke. They're able to get out of here with a W. Obviously, one of the things that we've really prided ourselves on over the last five years, going to year six, is more games are lost than won. Something that we try to get right from day one since we got here. And I'm not diminishing anything Duke did. I just think that we did enough things to cause us to fail. Obviously, turnover a little bit, but I think it was more the penalties and the mental errors that just caused us to self-implode a couple times on really all three phases. So that's all on me. I got to clean up the details, just simple things from the way we communicate, the way we execute in critical moments, some things that could have easily been avoided. And just a shame, I apologize.
Obviously to get a sell out here and to have a crowd the way we did, winning is addictive. For players, coaches, and fans, you get used to having success in those moments. And when it doesn't happen, you're upset, you're ***** , you're mad, you're angry. And I definitely fall into that category. My Saturday's always a lot better. I got two girls at home that love to have a fun time. And when you don't have success, it just sits with you for seven days. So the part that you got to learn is you'll learn more and more. The more you go through these moments, you just learn so much more in moments of adversity than you do in moments of success. So this is definitely an adverse moment that we got to take advantage of. I ask them to have big eyes and ears tomorrow. As coaches, we need to set the standard early on in the meetings to accept the things that we need to do better and hopefully put ourselves in a position to get back on track sooner than later.
So I don't know anything about injuries. I know TJ went out there at the end. We had a couple guys go out that came back, but he's the only one that I was told wasn't going to return to the game after he went out.

Boston Scientific (BSX) trades at about $43, roughly 17% below the recent high it set on 19th Aug, 2026. Its own history with sharp drops is encouraging. That history does not cover a cyberattack it says is likely to hit its 2026 results, and the stock is down about 60% over the past twelve months. Start with the history.
Since 2010, Boston Scientific has fallen 20% or more inside 30 trading days six times. Four are old enough to have a full year behind them, and all four ended higher twelve months later, at a median gain of 18%. The two most recent are too young to have a one-year result.
Collecting that gain was uncomfortable. Among those four, the median buyer sat through a further 17% decline first, and the worst further fall in the whole record was 44%. The median peak gain of 30% took about 226 days to arrive, close to seven and a half months. Waiting, not timing, is what that history rewards.
The record behind those medians is below.
BSX had 6 events since 1/1/2010 where the dip threshold of -20% within 30 days was triggered

VICTORIA, British Columbia (AP) — Kyle Cottam set a PGA Tour Americas record Saturday when he holed out from 108 yards for eagle on the 16th hole on his way to a 12-under 58 in the Digital Commerce Group Open.

"I was absolutely surprised," Cottam said. "Obviously, you don't wake up in the morning and think you're going to shoot 58."
Cottam had the sixth sub-60 round on the PGA Tour Americas since 2024. There were two sub-60 rounds on the Canadian Tour, including a 58 by Jason Bohn in 2001.

A non-traditional path to fixed income: Jeff Klingelhofer started at PIMCO, moved through Tokyo and London, then took an unexpected detour into a five-person hedge fund during his Chicago MBA. That experience shaped his career trajectory, from building Thornburg's taxable fixed income desk from scratch to joining Aristotle Pacific in 2024.
The relative value philosophy: Instead of chasing yield by taking more risk within a single **** et class, Klingelhofer compares opportunities across all of fixed income, including corporates, ABS, CLOs, bank loans, and more. His go-to example: in 2020, an American Airlines corporate bond and its aircraft-backed EETC priced identically, but a month later one traded at 27 cents on the dollar while the other held at 65 cent, proof that siloed desks miss cross-market mispricing.
Three ETFs, one philosophy: Aristotle Pacific's new suite of SDUR (short-term income), ARCP (core plus), and ARMS (multi-sector income) applies this relative value lens across the risk spectrum, each targeting a different level of duration and credit exposure. All three aim to outperform passive benchmarks through active security selection rather than added risk.
