Stocks are one of the top investments for building lasting wealth. By investing in companies that can grow profitably at a large scale, investors can generate significant returns over time. Thus, when investing for tomorrow, investors should consider top with multiple growth catalysts and the ability to deliver above-average returns. With this backdrop, investors should consider three TSX stocks to build significant wealth over the long run. ( ) is a solid long-term stock to create lasting wealth. The company offers value, income, and growth. Notably, shares of this subprime lender have risen about 897.5% over the past decade, reflecting a CAGR of 25.8%, and have outperformed the broader markets. The stellar growth in its stock is driven by its robust financials and commitment to returning value to investors through higher dividend payments. Notably, goeasy’s earnings per share (EPS) have grown at a five-year CAGR of 28.7%, while its revenue rose by 20.1% over the five years. Besides solid financials, goeasy has steadily increased its dividend over the past 10 consecutive years. goeasy looks well-positioned to deliver solid growth in the coming years. It will likely benefit from its leadership in Canada’s subprime lending space and growing loan demand. The company forecasts its consumer loan portfolio to exceed $6 billion by the end of 2026, which will drive its top line at a healthy pace. Further, its diversified funding sources, solid credit underwriting practices, and efforts to expand its product offerings and geographic reach will accelerate its growth. Moreover, goeasy’s strong balance sheet and improved operating leverage position it well to capitalize on growth opportunities. While goeasy is likely to deliver double-digit earnings growth, its stock has a forward price-to-earnings ratio of just nine, which makes it attractive on the valuation front. ( ) is another top TSX stock that could help create significant wealth over time. Shares of the business jet manufacturer have risen over 106% over the past year. However, it still has ample upside potential, as the company is poised to capitalize on the growing demand for its products and services. Further, the Canadian aviation company will likely benefit from its extensive aftermarket and support facilities network. Bombardier’s top line will be driven by increased aircraft deliveries led by its new lineup of medium and large business jets. Moreover, its focus on innovation and diversification across defence, services, and the pre-owned aircraft market will likely add new revenue streams, thus improving profitability over time. Furthermore, Bombardier emphasizes strengthening its balance sheet by improving liquidity and lowering its debt load. This optimization will likely provide financial flexibility, positioning it well to invest in new opportunities and accelerate growth. ( ) is another attractive stock worth buying now for tomorrow. This leading industrial manufacturer has consistently delivered solid financials, leading to a rally in its stock price. TerraVest’s top line has risen about 35% in the first nine months of 2024, benefiting from acquisitions and higher demand in the service segment. Thanks to its stellar sales growth, TerraVest stock has jumped about 164% this year and gained an enormous 927% in the past five years. Despite the rally, it has more room for growth, given the solid demand for its services. TerraVest’s focus on international markets, expansion of its product offerings, and improved manufacturing efficiency will likely support its top and bottom lines. Moreover, its focus on acquisitions will further accelerate TerraVest’s growth, boosting its share price. TerraVest also has a solid balance sheet with ample liquidity, which could allow it to continue capitalizing on growth opportunities and enhancing shareholder value through dividend payments.
Hurricanes hope D-men keep producing points vs. Senators
SUNDAY, Dec. 8, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- Shingles can strike anyone who had chickenpox when they were young, and the intense pain that can accompany this body rash has sidelined many a senior. Here, one expert explains how and why shingles can surface, and what you can do to treat it, or better yet, avoid it. Shingles can happen at any age, but it most typically affects people over 50 who have stress and compromised immunity. “Shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus. It’s the same virus that causes chickenpox,” said Dr. Eugene Fellin , a family medicine physician at Penn State Health Medical Group – Fleetwood. “For most of us who grew up before the 1990s, when children began being immunized against chickenpox, we’ve been exposed to the virus and are at risk for shingles.” How can shingles surface? After lying dormant in the nervous system for years, the virus can reemerge as shingles, which causes painful rashes that typically surface on the face or around the side of the torso, Fellin explained. “It’s like a poison ivy rash that won’t go away,” he added in a Penn State news release. “It can occur in patches, but along that same nerve root. A lot of times, people feel some tingling or a burning sensation prior to the rash actually breaking out,” Fellin noted. “When we’re looking for the rash, it will be in a string on the torso because the nerves wrap around the torso. You get a line around you, from the back to the front.” “The other issue we worry about is if it breaks out on the face and involves the eye because this can lead to blindness,” Fellin said. “Shingles around the eye is considered dangerous, and an instant referral to an ophthalmologist is always recommended.” What can you take to treat shingles? Antivirals such as Valacyclovir can be prescribed, but they’re time-sensitive and need to be taken within 36 hours of the start of the rash because they work by slowing the spread of the virus, Fellin said. While symptoms subside after three to five weeks, pain can sometimes return in the form of postherpetic neuralgia , he said. This long-term nerve pain occurs where the shingles rash appeared and can last for months or even years. Older adults are more likely to develop postherpetic neuralgia and have longer lasting and more severe pain, Fellin said. Luckily, there is something you can do to avoid shingles altogether: get vaccinated. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the Shingrix vaccine, given in two doses, with the second dose given two to six months after the first. People who get shingles can still receive the vaccine, which can lower the chances of another outbreak, Fellin noted. Most family doctors and pharmacies stock the vaccine, which is covered by Medicare, he added. “Most insurance programs are covering it because it has been out long enough and shows a real benefit,” Fellin said in a Penn State news release. “There’s a lot of misinformation about vaccines circulating out there. My message is this: Don’t be afraid of this or any vaccine.” SOURCE: Penn State Health, news release, Dec. 5, 2024
‘The adversity we all went through, it molded us’: What went into Harrisburg’s 4th straight District 3 title
The Giants announced four roster moves on Saturday, including activating OLB Kayvon Thibodeaux from injured reserve. In addition, New York signed QB Tim Boyle from their practice squad and officially waived QB Daniel Jones and LB Tomon Fox . Thibodeaux, 23, was selected fifth overall by the Giants in the 2022 draft. He’s in the third year of a four-year rookie deal worth $33.3 million that includes a $20 million signing bonus and is fully guaranteed. In 2024, Thibodeaux has appeared in five games for the Giants and recorded 12 tackles, three tackles for loss, and two sacks. This article first appeared on NFLTradeRumors.co and was syndicated with permission.On the first day of the new legislative session, Assemblymember Avelino Valencia, D-Anaheim, introduced Assembly Constitutional Amendment 1 (ACA 1). The proposal would double the amount of state funds that could be placed in the Budget Stabilization Account (BSA) from 10% to 20% of the annual budget. The ostensible reason for the increase is to address the very real problem of revenue volatility. Because California is overly reliant on high income earners who generate massive amounts of capital gains and stock option funds in boom years, it is vulnerable to big drop-offs in revenue during the bust years. Indeed, revenue volatility has been such a large problem that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger created the California Commission for the 21st Century Economy to come up with solutions. Regrettably, while there was a broad consensus that something should be done about the boom and bust cycle, the commissioners could not agree on what to do about it. The goal of placing more funds in reserve because of volatility makes sense, if it can be accomplished without violating the letter and the spirit of Gann spending limit. Unfortunately, ACA 1, in its current form does just that. Here’s how. Just a year after Proposition 13’s passage in 1978, California voters approved the Gann spending limit which, like Prop. 13, sought to restrain the size and growth of government. But unlike Proposition 13, which was a direct limit on taxation, Gann attempted to limit government spending. It limited the growth of state and local government expenditures to a base-year level adjusted annually to reflect increases in population and inflation. Initially, the Gann limit performed as designed and resulted in a modest rebate to taxpayers in 1987. But subsequent measures backed by special interests weakened the Gann limit by creating exceptions for education and transportation spending as well as substituting a far more generous inflation factor. Ironically, after these changes, most public finance observers – including yours truly – wrongfully assumed that California would never again bump up against the limit. But a big surplus in fiscal year 2022-23 put the state on the brink of reaching that limit. While that collision was briefly avoided due to COVID-19, California once again is confronted with a Gann issue that can no longer be ignored. For taxpayers, the best outcome would be to let the Gann limit run its course and return money to taxpayers “by a revision of tax rates or fee schedules within the next two subsequent fiscal years.” Cal.Const., Art. XIIIB, Section 2(a)(2). This is consistent with the plain language of Gann and is more than warranted given California’s heavy tax burden.

Under Gann, the state and local governments may create reserve accounts, like the BSA, but those transfers are subject to Gann’s spending limits. On the other hand, spending out of a reserve account is not so limited. As currently drafted, it appears that ACA 1 would exempt transfers out of the reserve account – currently permissible under Gann – but would also exempt appropriations into the BSA: Section (i) provides, “Transfers to the Budget Stabilization Account pursuant to this section do not constitute appropriations subject to limitation as defined in Article XIII B.” This appears to create a fund into which unlimited funds can be appropriated, guaranteeing that taxpayers will never get a refund of their tax dollars. There are better ways to address revenue volatility without injury to the goal of the Gann Spending Limit, which was enacted to provide a modicum of spending restraint in a state that doesn’t have any. California taxpayers need something more than a rainy day fund that’s all slush. Jon Coupal is president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.

The disability worker who was filmed having a tense exchange with Taoiseach Simon Harris while the Fine Gael leader was out canvassing in Cork on Friday has said she was left “shaken” following the interaction. Footage captured by RTE News, which has been widely shared on social media, shows Mr Harris walking away from the carer after she told the Taoiseach “we were ignored" and "the disability sector is a joke". The Section 39 disability worker, Charlotte Fallon, approached Mr Harris while he was visiting a supermarket in Kanturk in north west Cork yesterday and told him the government 'had done nothing' for carers and that people 'were suffering'. READ MORE: Friends killed in Donegal crash named locally as Gardai appeal for witnesses READ MORE: A year has passed since Dublin stared into the abyss - a proud city came perilously close to asphyxiation Ms Fallon, who was visibly upset during the exchange, said she was very passionate about her job but expressed concerns that there was 'no mention whatsoever' of people in her line of work in the latest budget. She said: "We’ve fought for our money ... but we are ignored". When Mr Harris said, "no you weren't", the woman responded by saying "yes we were, the disability sector is a joke, you've done nothing for us, our people are suffering". After a brief exchange, Mr Harris eventually shakes Ms Fallon's hand and walks away after she said: "Keep shaking people's hands and walk away. You're not a good man". You can watch a full video of the encounter below: Speaking to The Irish Times today, Ms Fallon said the exchange with Mr Harris left her in tears, as she described the actions of the Taoiseach as 'horrible'. “I was shaken, I was upset. I exited through the back door because I just didn’t want to go back into that crowd. I came down the laneway and the campaign was passing by. I wish I had said more," Ms Fallon, who works with St Joseph’s Foundation, told the outlet. The carer revealed that Mr Harris contacted her on Saturday morning to apologise, with the Irish Times reporting that the Fine Gael leader intends to meet with Ms Fallon. “I’ve just come off the phone with Simon Harris," she said. "I’m still a bit shook. He rang me and apologised and took full responsibility. "He said that is not the way he works. He said he was very sorry and that he had a long day. He said it was subject he was passionate on, and I said so am I. He said there was no need for that, you were only doing your shopping, I was harsh. He said I deserved to have my say. I’m glad I got the apology.” Mr Harris appeared in a video shared on his social media account on Saturday morning in which he said he had 'no excuse' for not properly engaging with Ms Fallon that he wishes to have a 'longer conversation with her in future.' The Fine Gael leader also stressed he is very passionate about supporting disability services, having grown up seeing the struggles his parents faced trying to find supports for his brother, who has autism. He said: "I was in Kanturk last night at the end of a very long day and was talking to a woman who works in a Section 39 disability organisation and she was raising issues with me. And, I want to say I didn't give her the time that I should have given her and I feel really bad about that because it's not who I am, it's not what makes me tick. I really, really, really passionately believe in disability services. "I do hope to be able to have a longer conversation with her. I want you to know and I want her to know I'm absolutely in the business of listening, learning and of acting when it comes to disability services. I always always will be."
