US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen weighs in on tariffs & Meta employees fired over a perk

Then, Netflix’s latest earnings are proving price hikes are boosting profits while steadily gaining new subscribers. Plus, news of an Uber takeover of Expedia boosts its stock, making it the Stock of the Week, and leaves Wall Street saying, “Hm, not a bad idea.” And Meta fires employees over a meal perk and announcement of layoffs makes it the Dog of the Week. Meanwhile, Halloween candy this year will look a lot more…squishier, as high cocoa prices mean candy companies are leaning into gummies to save their sales.

A Bond Account is a self-directed brokerage account with Public Investing, member FINRA/SIPC and includes 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. As of 10/8/2024, the average, annualized yield to worst (YTW) across all ten bonds is greater than 6%. A bond’s YTW is not “locked in” until the bond is purchased and is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTW of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity or if the issuer defaults on the bond. While corporate bond yields should fall in reaction to a Federal Reserve rate cut, there is no way to know whether that will be true of the bonds in the Bond Account, how quickly bond yields will respond, or by how much they will decline. Bond Accounts are not recommendations of individual bonds or default allocations. The bonds in the Bond Account have not been selected based on your needs or risk profile. All investing involves risk. Public Investing charges a markup on each bond trade. High Yield bonds carry greater risk of default. Visit public.com/bond-account to learn more.
