The 3 states where ‘Big Short’ investor Kyle Bass is buying real estate to capitalize on migration trends

Billionaire investor Kyle Bass is scooping up land in Florida, Tennessee, and Texas, touting the states' upside potential as both workers and companies shift to more affordable markets."When you think about the US, you look at the coastal region, the West Coast and the Northeast being very high cost, very high tax — one could say mismanaged — jurisdictions," he said in a recent interview with Investor's Podcast Network. "They're moving to pro-business, lower costs, lower, or no-tax jurisdictions." Bass' success in real estate is well established.

WTF Is With the Pink Pineapples at the Grocery Store?!

On a recent trip to Giant Eagle, my local grocery store in Pittsburgh, I noticed something new in the fruit section: a single pineapple packaged in a pink and forest-green box. A picture on the front showed the pineapple cut open, revealing rose-colored flesh.

It cost $9.99, a little more than double the price of a regular yellow pineapple.I put the box in my cart, snapped a picture with my phone, and shared the find with my foodie…

I’m a boomer who’s about to retire at 59. I’m nervous about retirement because I’ll have less income and too much free time.

I’m a boomer who’s about to retire at 59. I’m nervous about retirement because I’ll have less income and too much free time.

For the last 20 years, I've had the same two alarms set ever weekday — one at 5:15 a.m. and one at 9:17 a.m.As a Texas high school teacher, the 5:15 alarm is really just a formality.

It's Texas' official "time of record" by which schools are funded on daily attendance.It's the schedule I've followed for two decades. But after this week,…

Red Lobster’s owner once said the business left such a ‘big scar’ on him that he had to ‘stop eating lobster’

But owning Red Lobster left such a "big scar" on Chansiri that he told investors in February that he was swearing off lobsters forever."Other people stop eating beef. I'm going to stop eating lobster," Chansiri said in an earnings call — a possible reference to how some followers of Buddhism prefer not to consume beef and other meat products.On May 19, Red Lobster said in a statement that it had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after it sustained major operating losses in 2023. Red Lobster said its restaurants will "remain open and operating as usual during the Chapter 11 process."Chansiri,…
