Question about savings with personal loan

I don't really understand this stuff so I have to ask. My mother(55) has really good credit with the bank, always pays bills on time, no purchases, no debt, and saves her money as well.

Sp500 biggest 100 years of structural changes

A lot of people treat the S&P 500 like it is a passive, mathematical law of nature. It isn't. It is an actively managed, rules-based product run by a committee, and they change the rules whenever the market threatens to break their methodology. Right now in mid-2026, they are quietly rewriting the rulebook to accommodate the incoming wave of massive IPOs like SpaceX and Anthropic. I wanted to break down exactly what is happening now, and rank the most impactful structural changes the index has m

Avoid Trade Republic! They're blocking my portfolio transfer and support gives conflicting information

I’m based in Spain and I’m currently trying to transfer my securities positions from Trade Republic to another broker. However, I’ve run into a complete lack of clarity from support, and I’m trying to understand if anyone else has experienced the same issue. So far, I’ve received multiple conflicting explanations from support agents: First, I was told I could initiate the transfer directly from the app Then I was told that Spanish accounts don’t support outgoing position transfers, which is why

US President ⁠Donald Trump said ⁠in a podcast interview aired on Wednesday that Vice-President J.D.

Britain’s Borrowing Outlook Darkens as Energy Shock Deepens

Chancellor Rachel Reeves has been warned that government borrowing is set to spike as a result of the Iran war, as the Office for Budget Responsibility admitted it had underestimated the effects of the last energy price shock. In a review of its forecasting models, the OBR suggested it had learned lessons from Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which led to gas prices rising by around five times.

Past a certain savings threshold, there's no need to keep your emergency fund / home savings out of the stock market

Contentious statement I know but hear me out. Say you want to maintain a $20,000 emergency fund and a $100,000 reserve for a down payment on a home in a year or two. The conventional advice is to put this in a high yield savings account or some similar financial instrument. However, over a certain threshold of savings, this isn't necessary anymore. On average you will be losing out of potential gains from the market, and even if there was a catastrophic crash, provided you held a diversified por
