ALL THE MONEY NEWS YOU NEED TO KNOW

Tue Apr 23 2024

 

Daniel de Visé Personal Finance Reporter

Good morning! It's Daniel de Visé with your Daily Money.

A recall from Tesla allows a rare look under the hood of the electric vehicle balance sheet, James Powel reports.

Nearly 4,000 Cybertrucks were recalled last week over a defect with the accelerator, causing it to get stuck when pressed, increasing the risk of crash. This covers all the trucks Tesla has sold since the vehicle reached market in November.

And how many is that? The company does not itemize the number of vehicles sold by model in its quarterly reports, meaning that the recall offers a rare glimpse into Elon Musk's pet project.

Express files for bankruptcy

Express Inc. has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and will close nearly 100 retail stores, Emily DeLetter reports.

Express, the Columbus, Ohio-based brand and longtime mall retailer, is also the parent company of Bonobos and UpWest. In a press release, Express said it plans to close approximately 95 Express retail stores and all of its UpWest stores.

Will there be closing sales? What about pending orders?

Finally, here's a popular story from earlier this year that you may have missed. Read it! Share it!

No one would have guessed that in retirement, Judi and David Koncak would be nearly out of money and unable to leave their kids much more than a pittance. They're both college graduates. They traveled, owned cars and a home, sent their two kids to college and saved for retirement.

But David Koncak had a stroke, surgeries, and prostate cancer – all of which helped deplete their savings.

Their story illustrates a broader trend: the significant wealth transfer from baby boomers to younger generations that researchers have predicted may not be so great after all.

10. Passive vs. active management     If you like to be more involved in managing your portfolio and pick individual holdings to aim for higher returns, a passive management strategy may not be the best option for you. Passive investment is for those who want to smooth out the market upheavals with diversification, reaping steady, but not outsized, gains. Before embarking on either approach, ask yourself how much   risk you are willing to take. If you don't mind shouldering more risk, try your hand at active management. Risk-averse investors would be better served by passive management.     ALSO READ: 5 Tips to Choose the Best Wealth Management Firm for You
