When Justin Klish stumbled upon an ad for Yieldstreet in February 2022, he said, it was the company’s tagline that stuck in his head.”Invest like the 1%,” the startup said.The ad spoke to his desire to build wealth and diversify away from stocks, which were then in freefall, Klish said. Yieldstreet says it gives retail investors such as Klish access to the types of deals that were previously only the domain of Wall Street firms or the ultrarich.So Klish, a 46-year-old financial services worker living in Miami, logged on to Yieldstreet’s platform, where a pair of offerings jumped out to…

WASHINGTON (AP) — When the Food and Drug Administration needs outside guidance, it normally turns to a trusted source: a large roster of expert advisers who are carefully vetted for their independence, credentials and judgment.But increasingly, the agency isn’t calling them.Instead, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary has launched a series of ad hoc “expert panels” to discuss antidepressants, menopause drugs and other topics with physicians and researchers who often have contrarian views and financial interests in the subjects.Former agency officials worry the meetings are skirting federal rules on conflicts of interests and transparency, while promoting fringe viewpoints that align with those…

Federal incentives for home energy improvements are running out at the end of the year, so it’s decision time for anyone who has been thinking about a heat pump. The right decision can depend on where you live, how much you have to spend and how deeply you want to cut emissions.But the payoff can be significant.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he “very much” identifies with the vision of “Greater Israel” during an interview on Tuesday, as he accepted an amulet of the “promised land” from former right-wing MP Sharon Gal.  His comments have sparked condemnations from many Arab states, which viewed his words as a threat to their sovereign territory.  The concept of “Greater Israel”, which has various interpretations, has long been invoked by ultra-nationalist Israelis. It is often understood as a vision of territorial expansion to encompass Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan, along with significant parts of Syria, Iraq, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. It…

BEATING GOLIATH WITH MARGINAL GAINSIf you’re David and you go toe-to-toe with Goliath, the likelihood is you will lose. But in the Premier League, marginal gains have helped redress the balance for the newly-promoted sides.Back in 2021, Brentford made their Premier League debut and their head coach Frank had two key tips.The first? “Big focus on set pieces,” he tells Sky. “That’s an easy win, and it’s not easy to do it.“Of course we did other bits: we also played still. But we had to nail that, and that was the non-negotiable for four years.”Set-pieces of course mean corners and…
