Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.Rhode Island’s new tax on second homes is nicknamed for its most famous part-time resident, music superstar Taylor Swift, but the levy will also squeeze owners of saltbox houses on the coast that are much less grand than the singer’s Holiday House mansion.Under an annual property tax measure that takes effect Wednesday, the state will collect $5 for every $1,000 that a vacation home’s value is assessed over $1 million. Rhode Island lawmakers passed the measure last year, targeting out-of-towners in coastal enclaves like Newport and Little Compton to raise revenue for affordable housing construction.

Chip Stocks Put Up Their Best Quarter Ever Despite Wild Swings

The people, companies and trends shaping the global economy. Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF. Chip stocks posted their best quarter ever, extending an extraordinary start to the year driven by insatiable demand for artificial intelligence equipment. But after recent jitters sent the stocks tumbling, investors are wondering how much further the rally can go. The Philadelphia Stock Exchange Semiconductor Index jumped 3.9% on Tuesday to bring its second-quarter gain to 88%, its best quarter ever. It soared 101% in the first half, putting it on track for its best year in its history. In contrast, the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index climbed 28% in the second quarter, while the S&P 500 Index rose 15%. It was both of their best quarters since 2020, but the performances were dwarfed by the surge in chip stocks. On this episode, Carol and Tim speak with: Ian King, Bloomberg News US Semiconductor Reporter Dan Suzuki, Global Investment Strategist, iCapital Georgia Hall, Bloomberg News FX and Rates Reporter AND Francesca Maglione, Bloomberg News California Reporter on Big Take: The 250-Year-Old American Dream Is Fading for Dreamers Overseas Yogesh Gupta, CEO at Progress Software See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Now, his career is floundering, his marriage to a high-powered woman is crumbling, and the only bright spot in his life is Astrid, the Norwegian au pair who cares for their children—and reveres his neglected novels. But what begins as a secret infatuation soon spirals into a scandal that makes them both infamous. With inexorable momentum and sly, lucid prose, Teddy Wayne’s The Au Pair is a sleek literary thriller about desire, deception, and the unraveling of a man as he grapples with his fading relevance—when the lies others spin pale beside the fictions we tell ourselvesFor more, Carol Massar Tim Stenovec speak with Teddy Wayne, Author of 'The Au Pair' See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
