Top Private School Applications Surge Amidst South Florida’s Real Estate Boom
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Enrollment at top private schools in South Florida is booming, as many out-of-state families have moved to South Florida in the years since the pandemic, seeking sunny weather, and escaping state income tax. For families in the region and those moving South, increasingly competitive enrollment trends can make choosing the right school particularly difficult and necessitate strategy and forethought. The resources and experiences that students gain during their high school years will position them for success in the college admissions process and equip them to excel in higher education and beyond—but not every school is right for every student.

Make Your Own Bank Run On These Blue-Chip Yields
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Is it time for us contrarians to “buy the dip” in bank stocks? We’re drowning in big bank-scare headlines. Silicon Valley Bank (SIVB VB ) knuckled under in days, Signature Bank (SBNY) wasn’t too far behind, and across the pond, Credit Suisse (CS) needed a buyout bailout from rival UBS (UBS) . The next bank run, however, won’t be with the big boys . Too big to fail, baby . Here, we’ll find not only government help but also secure yields of up to 5.1%—trading at a discount, no less.
