As the U.S. housing market says goodbye to low mortgage rates—and home sales slump as a result— here’s the big question: Is it now time to invest in residential real estate? “For investors like us (it) is an opportunity, actually, to scoop up some new inventory and master plan communities at, I think, prices that will be well-below what we could have seen last year,” Nuveen Real Estate Global CIO Carly Tripp told Yahoo Finance Live (video above).

The global net-zero goals set out by the Paris Agreement are still within reach — but achieving them will require a $100 trillion investment, according to a new report by BNY Mellon Investment Management and Fathom Consulting. That amount equates to around 15% of all global investment or 3% of global GDP over the next 30 years in order to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 and limit warming to 2 degrees Celsius or below, per the Paris Agreement Accord established in 2015.

Could he be any more blatant? Just days before the midterm elections on Nov. 8, President Biden has called for a baldly political windfall tax on “excess” profits of oil and gas companies. There’s no chance it will happen, which Biden knows. Only Congress can impose new taxes, and Congress isn’t in session right now. When it was in session earlier this year, Democrats who control both houses kicked around the idea of an oil-company windfall tax, and it got nowhere. Biden says he’ll… Source link

Tuesday brings a light slate in the NBA with only eight teams in action. The good news is, there are still plenty of intriguing storylines. The Nets, who are off to a disappointing start and just fired head coach Steve Nash, will face a Bulls team that has also been underwhelming at 3-4.
