Mark Sims+FollowWhy Lower Rates Could Boost Your BillsGrab your coffee: If the Fed really cuts rates this year, companies with big debts like AT&T and Boeing could see their bills shrink—meaning more money in their pockets (and maybe yours, if you own their stock). AT&T’s debt is so high, even a small rate drop could be a game-changer. Boeing’s bouncing back too, with big investors piling in. And Exxon? Short sellers are running for the hills, betting the oil giant’s next move will be smart borrowing. If you’re looking for a money move, these could be worth a peek! #Business #Market #MoneyHacks20Share

Joseph Livingston+FollowBuffett’s Billionaire Habits Anyone Can StealEver wonder how Warren Buffett turned $100 into billions? It’s not just about picking stocks—his real magic is in everyday habits: live below your means (think McDonald’s breakfast, not caviar), avoid debt like it’s hot lava, and never invest in stuff you don’t get.
