Katie Thurston ‘Losing' Her Memory As Stage 4 Cancer Battle Continues
Former Bachelorette star Katie Thurston is confronting severe side effects from her ongoing battle with Stage 4 breast cancer, revealing she is experiencing significant memory loss and hair thinning as she continues treatment. The 34-year-old, shared a candid video on June 1 detailing her struggles, which include profound memory issues. 'I'm losing my memory,' Thurston revealed in the Instagram video, before sharing a story about 'going through customs' after a vacation with her husband, Jeff Arcuri. '[They were] like, 'Where are you coming from?' And I looked at him and I was like, 'I don't remember.'' She also recounted a recent 'little disagreement' with Arcuri where she couldn't recall the specifics of her own arguments. 'I was like, 'This has happened before,'' Thurston recalled telling the comic. 'He was like, 'When?' I was like, 'I don't know but I know it has!'' Despite the challenges, she added, 'We're able to laugh about it now.' Thurston, who married Arcuri earlier this year, did not mince words about her condition. 'Cancer is s**t. Sometimes I'm like, 'Stop feeling bad for yourself.' Other times I'm like, 'You're allowed to feel bad for yourself. Cancer f**king sucks.'' She noted her hair has been 'coming out in an unnatural amount of clumps.' Having completed two months of medication, Thurston faces critical decisions regarding her liver. (The reality star revealed in March that her breast cancer had spread to her liver.) 'I just finished my second month of treatment and if you're asking how long treatment is, technically forever,' she stated. Thurston has opted for Histotripsy, a non-invasive treatment for liver tumors, at New York University. 'I am optimistic about medical advancements in the future. Fingers crossed as a stage 4 girly.' Further complicating her health, Thurston shared that a medically induced menopause initiated last month failed, as the medication intended to suppress her hormones proved ineffective. A new medication will be tried, but if it also fails, she revealed she might have to 'get my ovaries taken out.' 'Not ideal,' she admitted. 'But the vacation was nice. Now I'm back at it again in New York City trying to live my best life as a f**king cancer patient.' 'Sorry, I'm not going to edit that out,' she concluded her Instagram video. 'I'm just going to end this because I want it just to be my truth, I guess. Anyway, happy Sunday.'

As Florida's housing market cools, sellers are now getting squeezed — but it's no buyer's paradise either
Florida might still be basking in sunshine, but its once-sizzling housing market has simmered down. The momentum that fueled pricing spikes during the pandemic has taken a sharp turn. For the first time in years, buyers are regaining leverage. Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 5 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Nervous about the stock market in 2025? Find out how you can access this $1B private real estate fund (with as little as $10) Sellers, squeezed by skyrocketing insurance premiums, softening demand and growing inventory, are cutting prices, covering closing costs and easing up on contingencies just to seal the deal. But is this shift a buyer's paradise? According to real estate experts, the Florida housing story is more complicated than simply buyer-friendly. During the COVID-19 era, a wave of remote workers, sun-seeking transplants and looser restrictions turned Florida into ground zero for red-hot real estate. Builders raced to meet demand. Now that demand has cooled. Then came two hurricanes, a spiraling insurance crisis and record-breaking homeownership costs. Panic-inducing headlines are drawing comparisons to the 2008 crash, but experts urge caution before sounding the alarm. 'It's nowhere near that,' real estate expert Vincent Arcuri said recently on Full Circle Florida. 'Interest rates are at 6.5 %, if you saw interest rates go anywhere in the 5s, you would see the market shift overnight, properties would start to skyrocket again, so it does have a lot to do with how much I'm putting down and how much is my payment? And that's what really drives the economics of people buying homes.' Some homeowners who bought at the peak may be feeling the pinch. 'You have people that came from the pandemic that overpaid, now it's time to pay the fiddler,' Arcuri said. 'I think those people that came in and paid $50,000, $100,000 over market, they're seeing a reduction now in value, plus they overpaid when they bought, which is offsetting some of the equity in those homes.' So are the issues local or regional? According to Arcuri, Florida's housing market isn't uniform. Inventory is rising in parts of Florida like Tampa Bay, St. Petersburg and Clearwater, but much of that is due to condos, not single-family homes. The surge is being driven by region-specific factors: new milestone inspection rules, skyrocketing HOA fees and soaring insurance premiums — all of which are dragging down condo sales. While headline numbers may suggest a broad market slowdown, many statistics are skewed by the flood of condo listings. The situation is more regional than statewide. Recent hurricanes have only added pressure, particularly on older and coastal condo communities, while inland areas and single-family markets remain more resilient. So, when will the market bounce back? That largely depends on policy. And as Arcuri puts it, 'Until we have significant insurance reform.' Read more: This is how American car dealers use the '4-square method' to make big profits off you — and how you can ensure you pay a fair price for all your vehicle costs As homes spend more time on the market — especially in places like Tampa Bay and South Florida — buyers are seeing the return of perks not seen since before the pandemic. But that doesn't mean today's buyers have it easy. While home prices may be stabilizing, hidden costs loom: Florida now has the highest average home insurance premiums in the U.S., with some regions seeing rates above $11,000. Condo owners in coastal cities are facing 15% plus hikes in HOA fees due to mandatory inspections and storm upgrades. Mortgage rates remain high, hovering around 6.5%, making monthly payments a real hurdle. Many first-time buyers are already stretched thin by student loans and rising living costs. Sellers, meanwhile, must adjust to a slower market. Price cuts and concessions are increasingly common, especially for condos facing the brunt of the state's insurance and structural safety challenges. So, what should sellers be thinking about? First, price your home realistically. Overpricing means your listing will sit. Consider offering incentives, like covering closing costs, to stand out. Know your costs. High insurance and maintenance fees can make your home harder to sell, so be upfront and ready to discuss those with potential buyers. Most experts agree — this isn't 2008. Homeowners today typically have equity and more responsible loans. Still, without insurance reform, expect a choppy market. For now, buyers should do their homework and negotiate hard. Sellers should stay realistic and flexible. Arcuri suggests homeowners just stay put. 'If you've got a low interest rate, be patient,' he said. 'These markets are cyclical. I've seen this happen time and time again. Florida's fundamentals are still strong. Give it a couple of years, and we'll be talking about the next housing boom.'

UBS Lowers Analog Devices (ADI) Price Target, Keeps Buy Rating
On Friday, May 23, UBS analyst Timothy Arcuri reduced the price target on Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADI) to $285 from $295 but kept a 'Buy' rating. This adjustment reflects a slight reduction in estimates for the second half of the year. Arcuri noted that the company's automotive business is affected by 'pull-ins.' These are orders that have been requested to be completed earlier than initially planned. Despite that, the guidance and commentary by Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADI) about underlying demand, especially for its industrial segment, were positive. Arcuri pointed out that this view matched with what Texas Instruments had said, which is another big player in the sector. A technician working on power management in a semiconductor factory.

(NASDAQ:ADI) because of its strong position in fast-growing markets like EVs, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), and certain areas of the industrial market.

Despite this concern, he still remains optimistic about Analog Devices, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:ADI) future, believing that the analog market will recover.

Intel Stock Is Falling Victim to the Trade War. How Should You Play INTC Here?
Intel (INTC) shares are down more than 9% as of this writing on April 4 after China announced a 34% retaliatory tariffs on all American goods. Beijing's retaliation is significant for INTC as it currently has meaningful revenue exposure to the largest Asian economy. Investors are concerned because China's new tariffs add to an already long list of challenges facing Intel. Intel stock is now down more than 20% versus its year-to-date high in mid-February. Why Is Intel Stock Down on Friday? China brought in about $15.5 billion in revenue to Intel last year, which translated to nearly 30% of the company's overall revenue in 2024. But the country's new tariffs on U.S. products will now make Intel chips more expensive for its local businesses, potentially driving them to rivals, including Samsung, Huawei, and Taiwan Semi (TSM). This could lead to significant pressure on Intel's top line moving forward, which may prove dire, given the chipmaker is already grappling with maintaining its market share against the likes of Nvidia (NVDA) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). Versus their 52-week high, INTC shares are down nearly 50% at the time of writing. Should You Buy the Dip in INTC Shares? While China's new tariffs are broadly negative for the chipmaker, Timothy Arcuri, a UBS analyst, remains somewhat bullish on Intel stock for 2025. Arcuri is constructive primarily because TSMC has reportedly agreed to a joint venture with Intel that would see it take a 20% stake in INTC's foundry business. 'This would infuse capital and operational know-how into Intel's foundry business,' he told clients in a research note on Friday. Additionally, the analyst has confidence in the leadership of Lip-Bu Tan, an industry veteran who joined INTC as its chief executive last month. Arcuri's $23 price target on Intel shares indicates potential upside of nearly 14% from here. Street Is Bullish on Intel's New CEO Wall Street seems convinced that Lip-Bu Tan can engineer a much-anticipated turnaround at Intel. While the consensus rating on INTC stock currently sits at 'Hold,' the mean target of $24.43 still suggests potential upside of about 20% from here.

Intel Stock (NASDAQ:INTC) Recovers, It May be an Nvidia Supplier
A new rumor emerged recently that may, if it comes to pass, light a fire under chip stock Intel (INTC) and its foundry ambitions. The reports suggest that Intel may be in line to manufacture certain models of Nvidia (NVDA) chips, a move that would give it a piece of one of its own competitors. Investors are skeptical, if a bit hopeful, and Intel shares notched up fractionally in Wednesday afternoon's trading. Light Up your Portfolio with Spark: Easily identify stocks' risks and opportunities. Discover stocks' market position with detailed competitor analyses. We all know that Intel has been working to ramp up its foundry capabilities for some time now. It spent a huge pot of money in Ohio trying to get factories set up, and landed cash from not only Ohio but also the federal government via the CHIPS Act. Now, reports suggest that may be about to pay off, as Nvidia may be looking to buy in. The rumor came from reports advanced by Timothy Arcuri, UBS analyst, who also has a five-star rating on TipRanks. Arcuri noted that Intel is actually 'closing in' on landing Nvidia as a client, which would underscore Intel's foundry aspirations wonderfully. With Intel already making inroads at Amazon (AMZN) and Microsoft (MSFT), landing Nvidia should put a lot of fears to rest. The Board Will Miss All That Growth Despite this, however, several members of Intel's board of directors are apparently packing up. When the 2025 annual meeting comes up, reports note, three board members will not appear for re-election. Omar Ishrak, Tsu-Jae King Liu, and Risa Lavizzo-Mourey will all be departing the board with the next annual meeting, reports note. Why the trio is looking to depart is unclear, but Intel has already been bolstering its board with several appointments as it is. In fact, reports noted that Intel was looking to get away from board members with academic and financial credits and more toward technical credits. With Intel now 'equally focused on product and foundry,' having more technically-minded board members may well help push toward that goal. Is Intel a Buy, Hold or Sell? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Hold consensus rating on INTC stock based on one Buy, 27 Holds and four Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 46.19% loss in its share price over the past year, the average INTC price target of $23 per share implies 2.62% downside risk.
