Florida's warm year-round weather, popular beaches, established retirement communities, easy access to cruises and air travel, and low taxes all make it the top state for retirees in The Motley Fool's Best Places to Retire Index . However, all of Florida's top retirement destinations are also hot and humid, face annual hurricane threats, and have high housing prices. So instead of focusing too much on Florida, retirees can consider moving to the Midwest , which is often overlooked but actually includes several highly rated retirement cities -- including Cleveland, Ohio; Saint Paul, Minnesota; and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

北京时间2月28日凌晨，美股周五尾盘继续下跌，三大股指在本周及2月份均将录得跌幅。英伟达公布财报后，其股价连续第二个交易日下跌。知名软件股普跌。最新生产者价格指数数据远超预期，显示美国通胀仍具粘性，加重了引发市场动荡的担忧情绪。 瑞银 下调美国股票市场评级。 道指跌677.87点，跌幅为1.37%，报48821.33点；纳指跌281.33点，跌幅为1.23%，报22597.05点；标普500指数跌56.23点，跌幅为0.81%，报6852.63点。 随着科技股下跌和通胀数据高企给市场带来压力，标普500指数重新跌破其备受关注的50日移动均线这一技术指标。该基准指数也跌破斐波那契回撤位6850.62点。收盘若低于这些水平，可能会进一步给市场带来压力。 瑞银下调美国股票市场评级 瑞银全球股票策略主管Andrew Garthwaite将一个已满仓的全球股票投资组合中的美国股票评级下调至“基准”，理由是美元走弱、估值过高以及华盛顿政策动荡带来的风险不断上升。 加思韦特写道，美元风险是核心关切。瑞银预计，到第一季度末，欧元将攀升至1欧元兑1.22美元，并认为美元面临“不对称的结构性下行风险”。该银行表示，从历史来看，当美元贸易加权指数下跌10%时，按非对冲基础计算，美国股市的表现大约会落后4%。 今年，由于美元走弱和估值更低吸引资本流向海外，外国市场的表现远超美国。MSCI世界不含美国指数在2026年内上涨了约8%，而标普500指数的表现几乎持平。 周五经济数据面，美国劳工统计局周五报告称，1月份美国批发价格指数以快于预期的速度上涨，这给通胀正在缓解的希望泼了冷水。 更令人担忧的是剔除食品和能源价格的核心PPI指数。 剔除波动较大的食品和能源价格后，核心生产者价格指数（PPI）经季节性调整后环比上涨0.8%，高于12月份0.6%的涨幅，也远超 道琼斯 普遍预测的0.3%的涨幅。 包含所有项目的整体PPI环比上涨0.5%，同样高于0.3%的预测值，且比前一个月高出0.1个百分点。 从全年来看，核心批发价格同比上涨3.6%，整体指数同比上涨2.9%。这两个数字都远高于美联储2%的通胀目标，表明物价上涨仍是美国经济面临的一个不利因素。 科技股周五再次承压，延续本月的疲软走势，英伟达在公布财报后继续下滑。 前一个交易日，英伟达收盘下跌超过5%，令许多投资者感到意外。 鉴于这家芯片制造...

Eva Marie Uzcategui | Bloomberg | Getty Images Block CEO Jack Dorsey's move to cut nearly half the company's workforce is shining a spotlight on a growing question for corporate America: whether advances in artificial intelligence will ultimately mean fewer workers. In an earnings call Thursday, Dorsey said Block will cut about 4,000 jobs. Dorsey framed the move as more than a cost-cutting exercise, instead describing a shift in how companies operate as artificial intelligence becomes more central to business decisions. He also suggested other companies will follow suit. "I don't think we're early to this realization. I think most companies are late," he said. "Within the next year, I believe the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion and make similar structural changes. I'd rather get there honestly and on our own terms than be forced into it reactively." Economists, however, question whether such moves signal a broader shift in the labor market or simply reflect company-specific adjustments. "This is a function of lax judgment during a period of rapid expansion and the retrenchment that follows," said Joseph Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM. "It should be understood within the unique context of that firm, and it does not signal risk to the broader U.S. labor market." Doubts about jobs The layoffs come amid broader questions about the employment picture. Though job cuts have remained low and the unemployment rate is a relatively healthy 4.3%, openings have contracted sharply and hiring in 2025 largely flatlined, with average payroll growth of just 15,000. Still, the tech-related picture looks relatively healthy. The information sector, one proxy for the tech industry, saw its unemployment rate fall to 5% in January,...

Bilanol/iStock via Getty Images Introduction After a lackluster performance in 2025, my hopes were that U.S. residential REITs such as NexPoint Residential Trust, Inc. ( NXRT ) would finally stage a turnaround in 2026. Alas, despite a notable decline in 10-year U.S. treasury yields ( US10Y ) to around 4% and solid performance for the broad Vanguard Real Estate Index Fund ETF ( VNQ ), NXRT is down in the mid-single-digits year-to-date. While the company's 2026 outlook reflects continued operating performance pressure and well-known refinancing headwinds, I think that the shares may finally catch a bid later this year, thus upgrading the rating to Strong Buy. My bullish outlook is underpinned by: An undemanding 11.2x 2026 Core FFO multiple, notwithstanding the company's high leverage. An attractive 6.7% market-implied cap rate, notably above management estimates used to calculate a midpoint net asset value of $48.57/share. The potential for near-term catalysts such as asset sales and Fed rate cuts in H2 2026. Readers not familiar with NXRT may find the Company Overview section in my previous article insightful . The only major change I would highlight is that NXRT acquired a Las Vegas property for $73 million in December 2025, bringing its enterprise value to $2.3 billion as of February 2026, 68% of which is funded with net debt. Q4 2025 Results Overview NXRT reported Core FFO of $0.65/share in the final quarter of 2025, down 4.4% Y/Y. The decline was principally driven by a 4.8% drop in same-store net operating income [NOI], only partially offset by a 2.9% reduction in shares outstanding. The decline in NOI came as NXRT ended 2025 with an occupancy of 92.7%, 2% lower Y/Y, with the company seeing rents largely flat Y/Y at $1,489/unit. Relative to Q3 2025, we observe that NOI dynamics deteriorated notably (NXRT had recorded NOI growth of 3.5% relative to Q3 2024), with occupancy slipping 0.9% Q/Q as well. As such, it is fair to say NXRT ended a challenging 2025 on a we...

Choppy crypto markets punished trend-following funds in 2025, with violent swings erasing months of positioning. This year’s decisive selloff has offered a reprieve. Digital-asset investment firm XBTO’s trend fund rose 13.3% last month, its second-best since launching in February 2024, as Bitcoin fell more than 10% and Ether dropped 18%. The gain was driven by a timely flip to short positions as crypto markets broke lower in the final week of January, with more than seven percentage points of the return coming in those last few days, according to Karl Naim, the firm’s chief commercial officer. One month doesn’t change a challenging trading landscape. But for a strategy that struggled last year, recent gains offer a well needed boost — and a reminder that trend-following can still pay when markets finally pick a direction. Bitcoin peaked near $126,000 in early October and has since fallen sharply, with the broader crypto market losing $2 trillion in crypto market value along the way, according to CoinGecko. Trend models that rode momentum higher got whipsawed by the fast reversal. The fund lost money in five of the previous six months and finished 2025 down 7.8%. Industry-wide, quant trend funds returned 0.44% last year, down from 65% in 2024, according to Crypto Insights Group. Market-neutral strategies, which don’t rely on directional bets, gained 14.7%. Those that caught the downturn, though, are now benefiting. “We have been net short in February, have taken some risk off the table, and continue to see potential downside pressure on Bitcoin,” Naim said. XBTO’s trend fund trades crypto perpetual futures and focuses on the most liquid tokens, typically the top-50 by market value. Perpetual futures are derivatives that track an asset’s price without an expiry date. Positions are driven by a systematic momentum model that scans market and blockchain data.

In this article NFLX WBD PSKY Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT The Paramount logo is displayed above an entrance to Paramount Studios on Feb. 23, 2026 in Los Angeles, California. Justin Sullivan | Getty Images A day after Paramount Skydance emerged as the winner to take over fellow media giant Warner Bros. Discovery , questions are mounting about the companies' regulatory path forward. The WBD board said on Thursday that Paramount's revised $31-per-share offer was superior to an existing bid from Netflix , prompting the streamer to announce that it was walking away from the deal entirely and clearing the way for Paramount. Paramount's raised offer — up from $30 per share — was the latest in a series of moves it made after it launched a hostile bid late last year to buy WBD. It had initially lost out on a bidding war to Netflix, which offered $27.75 per share. Paramount's latest bid also included a $7 billion breakup fee if the deal doesn't win regulatory approval. And it agreed to pay the $2.8 billion breakup fee that WBD would owe Netflix if the deal fell through. But media industry experts said it's looking more likely that the Paramount deal will get through government scrutiny than it did when Netflix was in the picture. Netflix vs. Paramount Netflix co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters said Thursday that it was "no longer financially attractive" to match Paramount's raised offer. Though Netflix executives had said they were "highly confident" that their deal would win approval , the merger would have brought together two top streaming services — Netflix and Paramount+ — and could have potentially raised prices for consumers and decreased competition. In early December, Trump said the Netflix-WBD deal "could be a problem" because of the increased market share Netflix would gain, saying he would be involved . He walked back those comments earlier this month, saying the deal would be at the sole discretion of the Department of Justice. And while the...

CHARTCHAI KANTHATHAN/iStock via Getty Images The last time I spoke about TG Therapeutics ( TGTX ), it was with respect to a Seeking Alpha article entitled " TG Therapeutics: Another Possible Avenue Of MS Growth With Azer-Cel ." With respect to this article, I noted that the company was looking to expand its presence for the treatment of patients with multiple sclerosis [MS] with an allogeneic off-the-shelf CD-19 CAR T, known as Azer-Cel. That is, the goal is to use this to target patients with progressive multiple sclerosis [PMS]. An update for this program is expected to be provided by the company later this year. I had a "Strong Buy" rating the last time around, and I'm going to maintain this because the company has momentum on its side for starters. By this, I mean momentum in terms of being able to grow BRIUMVI revenues significantly in a year-over-year [YoY] fashion. For its full-year 2025 revenues, it reported that it generated $594 million. This is huge, because it ends up being a 92% growth YoY. There are two other reasons for why I'm bullish and why I believe a "Strong Buy" is in order, and this is because of the expansion opportunities that are underway. Both of which are set up to be catalysts for investors to focus on. The first of which is that of the phase 3 ENHANCE study targeting a consolidated infusion schedule of BRIUMVI. The second of which involves a self-administered at-home subcutaneous treatment of BRIUMVI. More about both of these below, but the point is that both provide milestones for investors to look forward to this year. With massive growth for sales of BRIUMVI in the latest reported Q4 2025 earnings, plus the two expansion opportunities I'm about to go over below, I believe it is important to maintain a "Strong Buy" rating on this stock. Two Expansion Opportunities Act As Catalysts And Could Be Part of Bottom Line As I noted above, TG Therapeutics is continuing to see massive year-over-year [YoY] growth of BRIUMVI. It is already taking ...
