Introduction Around 90% of US drivers rate themselves as safer and more skillful than average. Obviously, such perceptions do not reflect reality. After all, 9 out of 10 people can’t all be above average. Nevertheless, the results are compelling: They illustrate an innate human tendency to overrate our own talents and skills and underrate those of others.

By Nidal al-Mughrabi and Mohammad Salem CAIRO/GAZA (Reuters) -Thousands of Palestinians burst into the streets across Gaza as a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas began on Sunday, some in celebration, others to visit the graves of relatives, while many rushed back to see what remained of their homes. “I feel alive again,” said Aya, a displaced woman from Gaza City who has been sheltering in Deir Al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip for over a year. “I feel like at last I found some water to drink after getting lost in the desert for 15 months,” she told Reuters via…

(Bloomberg) — A record start to the year for emerging-market bond sales is at risk of fizzling as high Treasury rates hamper weaker credits from tapping international capital.

This strategy is practically off limits for the pros, but it does a better job than most. Professional fund managers are some of the brightest minds on Wall Street. There’s a reason people trust them with billions of dollars in capital. Practically all of them are highly educated and highly experienced in the financial markets, giving them a serious advantage when it comes to outperforming the average individual investor on Main Street. But the truth is that you can outperform the pros by using a simple investment strategy that nearly every professional can’t touch. If you used this strategy over…
