What went wrong? Novice investors certain they had to be in stocks but unclear on where to start redefined “what you know.” Suddenly it embraced everything from stocks everyone was talking about at dinner parties to shares in companies they were familiar with but failed to grasp as investments–an important distinction. Lynch had it right. Investors who pick stocks for themselves must stay within a carefully drawn “circle of competence,” deliberately setting down what they know and what they don’t....

Bush and other world leaders would be visiting the Thai capital....

The plane was built in Burbank, California, before it was sent for testing....

My week inside the enemy camp turned out to be a lot more enlightening than I thought it would be. Sure, GOP chief Haley Barbour threw me off the convention floor, but I’m not so sure we’d want the likes of him lurking in dark corners next week in Chicago. Since it wasn’t my party, I didn’t have to run around putting out fires; instead, I could observe the controlled mayhem – and talk to reporters – from a comfortable distance....

The Italy international has generated plenty of transfer talk before and during the summer window, with his 28-goal haul in 2016-17 raising his profile and attracting interest from across Europe.

Switching off from work while on vacation can be difficult. In fact, for many in senior positions it’s almost impossible, with a study published by the Harvard Business Review reporting that just 14 percent of managers and 7 percent of those in senior leadership roles unplug on vacation. Instead, the majority admit to checking in with work at least once a day. Yet rest and relaxation is not just an important part of maintaining a healthy work/life it’s also a key component of a healthy lifestyle in general with the World Health Organization (WHO) and International Labor Organization (ILO) estimating around 745,000 people die every year as a result of work-related stress from overwork....

Most home pregnancy tests are sensitive enough to detect hCG within the first few days of pregnancy, so they don’t need a high concentration of the hormone. Over-the-counter hCG drops use homeopathic hCG, which is an herbal concoction designed to mimic the same effects of real hCG on the body. Even if you find drops that do contain real human hCG, the hormone is extremely diluted and would be unlikely to turn a pregnancy test positive....
