With this market-cap weighting, the ETF shields investors from the volatility commonly associated with smaller-cap stocks. Over the years, XLF has solidified its position as a trusted vehicle for financial exposure among advisors, investors, and traders.

News Release

Analyst Price Prediction: BNB and Dogecoin To Recover, New Project To Surge 280%

Total Media

Binance celebrated its 25th quarterly burn where it burnt 2.14 million BNB tokens. Investors are sceptical that this could affect BNB’s price. Dogecoin's price is still on the decline as the DOGE community hopes for Elon Musk’s X platform to adopt the meme coin. Meanwhile, a new crypto project, Everlodge, has caught the attention of analysts in the past few weeks. Summary: The BNB price is showing signals of a potential rally on the weekly chart. Development on the Dogecoin network dropped significantly. Analysts have forecasted a price surge of 280% for Everlodge. Everlodge (ELDG) Forays Into the Vacation Rental Market According to research, the global tourism sector has become a booming market since the Covid-19 pandemic. Statistical data shows that the number of hotels and resorts worldwide is over 700,000. However, only a few people have enough money to invest in such properties. Fortunately, Everlodge is here to level the playing field for every investor. Everlodge is an upcoming Web3 platform designed to solve challenges in real estate. People will be able to buy and sell real estate properties cheaply by using the fractionalization of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). NFT fractionalization entails dividing a full NFT representing a real estate property into fractions that people can buy with as little as $100. These NFTs have real value and can be used as collateral for loans. In the meantime, Everlodge is in the fifth presale stage. Its ELDG token is up for grabs at just $0.02. Those who buy the Everlodge token will enjoy passive income, discounts, governance rights, and a chance to win a free vacation to the Maldives. Analysts have forecasted that ELDG's value will go up by 280% by December. What is Next for BNB (BNB) Price After Token Burns? Binance Coin (BNB) is making waves in the cryptocurrency sector as it burns 2.14 million BNB tokens. This burn strategy is part of the platform's strategy to reduce the supply of BNB and increase its price. Following the burn, the price of BNB rose by 3%, to touch $213. In addition, the token has managed to maintain a 3.3% gain on the weekly chart. Looking at the price chart, the BNB coin is currently bouncing between $205.23 and $222.43. Firstly, there is an initial support level of $195.97, which acts like a safety net. Additionally, there is a stronger support at $178.77. Also, network activity on the BNB Chain has been on the rise. The network recently released the Greenfield mainnet. The aim of this storage network is to transform Web3 data usage and ownership. Crypto analysts remain bullish on the BNB coin and predict a price pump to $230 in the coming weeks. What is Happening To Dogecoin (DOGE)? Dogecoin (DOGE), the famous meme coin has been stuck in a tight trading range in the past few months. Dogecoin's price has struggled to go above $0.06 for the last two months. This lack of progress comes at a time of uncertainty in the wider cryptocurrency market. Additionally, Dogecoin's daily transaction volume has dropped, showing a lack of user interest in the coin. The price of Dogecoin has fallen from $0.06011 on October 16th to $0.058986 on October 18th. Also, development on the Dogecoin network has plunged in the past months. Nevertheless, crypto analysts are still bullish on the price of Dogecoin given its latest listing on BitTrade. They have forecasted Dogecoin's price to rise to $0.0723 when market condition improves.

Cutting Through the AEP Clutter

YourUpdateTV

Millions of older Americans rely on Medicare as a crucial support for their health care. Yet, choosing a health plan that fits their needs can be overwhelming, particularly since nearly 90% of adults struggle with understanding health-related information. This can make the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) – which runs from October 15 th to December 7 th – feel like an obstacle course Medicare beneficiaries must navigate every year. A video accompaying this release can be found here: https://youtu.be/F-MZ0L3t9Zw Recently, Terri Swanson, President of Medicare for Aetna, a CVS Health company, participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss the annual enrollment period and tips for consumers on how to choose a plan. When selecting a plan, the first thing people should consider is their own health needs, which can help cut through the clutter of information and make a decision that’s right for you. Medicare decisions can be confusing, so it’s important to seek out trusted sources of information and ask yourself some basic questions before choosing a plan. The three main questions people should ask themselves are: Will this plan fit my budget? This includes the monthly premium, as well as out-of-pocket costs like deductibles, copays and coinsurance for doctors’ visits, hospital stays and other health services. Are my favorite doctors, hospitals and pharmacies in the plan’s network? Are my prescription drugs covered and what are they going to cost? With these three pieces of critical information, consumers can begin the process of narrowing down their plan options and finding the one that’s right for their budget and specific health needs. In addition to the basics, like coverage for doctors and prescription medications, most Medicare Advantage plans offer a variety of additional benefits that can create further value. Examples include dental, vision, hearing, fitness membership, over-the-counter products, transportation to and from doctors’ visits and even healthy foods. To begin the process of selecting a plan, people should go to Medicare.gov. Once there, they can enter their zip code and see all the Medicare plans available in their area. To learn more about Aetna plans and find some resources to help you understand your Medicare options, visit AetnaMedicare.com. About Terri Swanson As President of Medicare for Aetna, a CVS Health company, Terri oversees the sales, operations and business strategy for Aetna’s robust portfolio of Medicare Advantage plans, Medicare prescription drug plans and Medicare Supplement plans.

Navigating The Waves: Techberry's Social Analytical Trading Insight

Benzinga

By James Wells, Benzinga In the past, forex investors were frequently viewed as a select group who honed their skills through special training or contacts within the sector. However, forex investors are mostly self-taught and use social media to hone their talents. Today, a key component to being a good forex investor is social analysis, which brings together the knowledge, perceptions and suggestions of seasoned experts. Specialized social trading platforms have appeared in addition to well-known platforms like Facebook or Twitter. These online tools give users the chance to learn by emulating the trading methods of seasoned professionals. However, there are difficulties in the vast world of social analytics and copy trade. Navigating the forex market can be difficult due to the $7.5 trillion in daily trading volume, the large number of traders to keep track of and the complicated economic issues involved. Enter TechBerry, the link between profitable FX trading and social insights. TechBerry is a leader in the field of social automated trading and sifts through a variety of social data points. Since its introduction, its sophisticated AI algorithms have continuously provided investors with sharp strategies that have generated a notable 11.2% monthly return. These algorithms prioritize profitability and success likelihood. TechBerry's Revolutionary Trading Platform At the heart of TechBerry is an innovative take on social forex, providing users with continuous access to market dynamics. By utilizing data from a large network of over 100,000 experienced traders and analyzing their digital footprints, TechBerry goes beyond conventional analytical techniques to forecast market trends. Aiming for long-term success, TechBerry's advanced AI system painstakingly selects potential trading opportunities. Partnerships with respected third parties like FX Audit, FX Blue and MyFxbook – which guarantee data accuracy and dependable trade analysis – add to the platform's trustworthiness. TechBerry has continuously demonstrated a monthly return average of 11.2% since its launch in 2015, enabling many investors to navigate the difficulties of getting profit from FX trading more confidently. The Importance Of Social Analysis In Trading Social media provides immediate access to a wealth of information for international investors, but it also has pitfalls that might prevent profitable trading. The large, data-rich digital environment needs to be more cohesive and comprehensible to humans. Social media platforms can be rife with false information, which encourages traders to frequently follow the crowd. Because of this herd mentality, performance can suffer as a result of repeating techniques. In addition, inexperienced traders may ignore the seasoned knowledge and lessons necessary for consistent profitability if they are overconfident. The TechBerry Advantage TechBerry provides a solution by painstakingly examining social metrics. With its AI-focused methodology, traders are given insights that go beyond simple human judgment. TechBerry analyzes the trading methods of over 100,000 forex specialists to identify market biases, nuances and patterns that might go unnoticed by individual traders. This automatic skill creates customized trading strategies in line with the individual investing goals of each user. Additionally, a wide range of consumers can access passive income through TechBerry's platform. Even people who are new to forex can benefit from pre-configured strategies because of the platform’s sophisticated sociological research – reducing the requirement for in-depth trading knowledge to quite an extent. As a result, busy professionals can benefit from TechBerry's automatic features to ensure the best profitability without ongoing market monitoring. Striking The Balance: TechBerry's Pros And Cons Although TechBerry offers several standout features, examining areas where it may come short is equally crucial. Here is an overview of the pros and cons of TechBerry: Pros: Effortless Earnings: TechBerry supports the concept of passive income. Its automated trading system is made for people who prefer to take a set-it-and-forget-it approach and hand over control to the platform's algorithms. Proven Performance: TechBerry goes beyond making empty promises. Its record indicates steady profitability with a commendable average monthly return of 11.2% since 2015 and a trading losses reimbursement on trades that are guaranteed by insurance up to a limited amount. Intelligence At Work: The sophisticated AI-driven trading mechanism that powers TechBerry is at the platform's core. This guarantees that the software is discerning profitable trading opportunities rather than simply responding to market data. Cons: Autonomy Constraints: TechBerry excels in automation, but people who want manual control may find it to be a drawback. Decisions made by the platform based on its analysis may not always coincide with a trader's personal approach or gut feeling. TechBerry: The Future Of Forex Trading? TechBerry is a leader in utilizing social research in the forex market. It identifies the right potential trading chances by carefully analyzing massive amounts of trading data using AI algorithms. This simplified method assists both new and seasoned traders and positions them favorably in the fluid Forex market. This post contains sponsored content.

Find Those Hard-To-Borrow Stocks More Easily With Centerpoint.ca, The Service Helping Make Investing In US Markets Easier For Canadians

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga With interest rates still rising, a U.S. election on the horizon and an unpredictable job market, stock markets are volatile. That may spook some investors, but for more active traders, especially those residing in Canada, it could spell opportunity in good and bad times. By investing in U.S. stocks, Canadian investors are able to diversify geographically, access a variety of industries and access two markets that tend to outperform at different times. From 2002 to 2009 the Toronto Stock Exchange did better as the U.S. dealt with a deep recession. From 2011 to 2021 it was the Nasdaq’s turn to outperform. The divergence makes sense given that Canada’s stock market is weighted heavily with energy, financial and industrial stocks, while the U.S. stock market is more tech and communications-heavy. With U.S. stocks you also get access to some of the world’s biggest growth companies like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: APPL), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), and stocks like Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) offer exposure to high-growth industries like AI. Of the world’s investable market, the U.S. accounts for nearly 60%. CenterPoint.ca Makes Access To U.S. Stocks Easier For Canadians When it comes to investing in U.S. stocks, active Canadian traders don’t have endless options. Especially if they want an extensive list of stocks they can short. CenterPoint Securities, backed by ClearStreet – the fintech with over $400 million in capital – is helping change that. Last month, it launched CenterPoint.ca, an advanced trading platform that gives active Canadian traders and investors access to U.S. stocks and options. CenterPoint made a name for itself in the U.S. among traders and investors who demand an extensive short inventory – and it's now bringing that to Canada. Short Trades Made Easy Your short trade is only as good as the amount of shares available to borrow. You don’t want to spend time setting up a trade only to not execute because of a lack of availability. To minimize that from happening, CenterPoint has an exhaustive list of over 5,000 easy-to-borrow stocks that are updated daily. For more experienced traders, CenterPoint grants access to hard-to-borrow stocks and locates. Shorting stocks that require a locate means they are much harder to secure. To get them investors often have to request a short locate with their broker, who then has to actively search for the shares. As a result, there are usually fees during the search and when the order is fulfilled. With CenterPoint, you don’t have that added step. Traders and investors can locate stocks to short directly from the trading platform. Simply enter the ticker and number of shares to borrow, and the short locate tool does the work. If the shares are available to locate, you’ll know exactly how much the fee will be so you can make an informed decision. With CenterPoint’s tool, you don’t pay any fees unless you accept the locate. Backed By In-House Securities Lending Team CenterPoint’s locate tool is backed by an in-house securities lending team that is skilled at finding hard-to-short stocks. At CenterPoint, over 100 million shares are located monthly, and more than 20,000 locate orders are filled. The average order fill size is over 4,000. Not many other brokerages, including ones entering the Canadian market, can say the same. Diversification isn’t only about investing in different sectors or asset classes, international exposure can also be a great diversification strategy. For active traders, CenterPoint.ca makes it easy to invest in one of the biggest stock markets in the world. This post contains sponsored content.
