Act Now to Score a Lifetime Subscription to Curiosity Stream for Only $150
Documentaries are entertaining, usually educational and tend to offer deep dives on enjoyable niche topics. However, buying films individually might strain your budget. So, if you're a fan of documentaries, this $150 deal for a lifetime subscription to Curiosity Stream's catalog might be for you. The license typically costs $400, but this offer reduces the price by 62%. But there's no stated deadline for this discount, so it's best to act fast. With so many streaming services available, it can be difficult to keep track of them all. You're probably already paying for services that offer movies, TV shows and sports. But what about documentaries? Curiosity Stream offers an ever-growing catalog of factual content. From history to deep space to the wilds of nature, this streaming service provides instant access to award-winning, educational digital content. Launched by Discovery Communications founder John Hendricks, Curiosity Stream delivers documentaries that cover a wide range of topics, and it's one of our favorites for educational content. Learn about deep space from Stephen Hawking, experience an excavation at Pompeii and travel the world experiencing new places -- from remote jungles to European cities -- all without leaving home. There are regular content updates, too, so we're betting it would take you more than a lifetime to watch it all. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. The Curiosity Stream standard plan includes streaming and downloadable content, so you can watch movies offline when needed. It's easy to search, bookmark or resume viewing, and the service is compatible with mobile and desktop devices, as well as smart TVs, though if you plan to use an older device, you'll want to double-check the system requirements before your purchase. For example, requirements include Android and Android TV 5.0 and up, iOS 11 and up, Apple TV third-gen (and earlier via AirPlay) and Xbox One, among others. Just be sure to redeem the offer code within 30 days of purchase. Why this deal matters The list price for the lifetime Curiosity Stream account is $400 at StackSocial, so you're saving 62% with the aforementioned discount, but Curiosity Stream doesn't currently offer a lifetime option directly. So, the annual plan (which costs $40) is a better cost comparison. The deal's $150 price is almost equivalent to paying the annual subscription price for four years. You're also shielding yourself from any future price increases, but remember, the offer expires soon. Alternatively, if Curiosity Stream isn't for you, be sure to hit up our list of the best streaming service deals for the latest offers on Disney Plus, Peacock, Paramount Plus and more.

You Can Land Your Airplanes and Helicopters at This 1,000-Acre Colorado Ranch
A Colorado ranch property spanning more than 1,000 acres with some pretty rare luxuries is waiting for someone to snap it up. The $45 million West Creek Ranch is situated in the remote community of Gateway, Colorado, part of Mesa County, about five hours west of Denver near the Utah border. It's composed of three different parcels: one where the main residence sits, one designated as hunting lands, and another for water-based and motorized recreation. Currently owned by John Hendricks, the founder of the Discovery Channel, the property is now on the market with Haley Mirr of Mirr Ranch Group.

Marble archways and custom ironwork frame the grand entryway, which leads into a commodious great room and a formal dining room with landscape views. Other highlights include six fireplaces, multiple wet bars, a two-level circular stone library housed in a stone turret, a private theater, and an art studio. Most unusually, there's a permanent installation of six rare fossils from animals such as a saber-toothed tiger and a stingray.

The main house is complemented by a resort-style pool and spa that look out on the landscape, and there's a five-car heated garage for all of your automobiles. Guests can post up in the two-bedroom, one-bath guest house, which sits alongside the creek. There are professional-grade stables and fenced pastures equipped for both horses and bison, while fishing, hunting, rafting, horseback riding, and more can all be done on-site. Most of the above is pretty standard for a high-end ranch estate, but West Creek outdoes most other spreads with an astrological observatory for stargazing, with the high elevation and dark desert setting making for easy spotting of constellations and planets. For travel to and from the ranch, the Grand Junction airport is just over an hour away. However, if you have access to a small aircraft or helicopter, you can take advantage of the estate's private grass airstrip and hangar and its adjacent of Robb Report The 10 Priciest Neighborhoods in America (And How They Got to Be That Way) In Pictures: Most Expensive Properties Click here to read the full article.

Why CuriosityStream Stock Surged Nearly 50% Higher Today
Key Points Investors weren't just impressed that CuriosityStream reported its first-ever net profit. Future cash flow looks good enough for the company to double its dividend. Licensing revenue for the subscription streaming service should continue to grow. 10 stocks we like better than CuriosityStream › CuriosityStream (NASDAQ: CURI) may not be a name many investors have heard before. Yet the streaming service's stock is making waves in the market today. Shares rocketed higher by as much as 60% Wednesday morning after the company reported some big news in its first-quarter report. CuriosityStream saw its revenue grow 26% year over year, and predicts as much as 37% growth in the current quarter. It also achieved positive net income for the first time. Shares remained higher by 40% at noon ET. Image source: Getty Images. Massive dividend increase CuriosityStream offers visually impressive documentaries aimed at educating viewers. That shouldn't be surprising, since it was started by John Hendricks, founder of the Discovery Channel. The company has recently found a new revenue stream licensing its programming for artificial intelligence (AI) training, as well as traditional media distribution. That additional licensing revenue has cash flow surging. It's been enough for the micro-cap company to initiate a dividend last year, and now to massively increase that payout. What started as an annual $0.10 dividend has already been raised several times. The streaming service announced last night that it was now doubling the annual dividend to $0.32 per share. That represented an annual yield of 10% based on the stock's closing price on Monday. Even with today's surge higher, CuriosityStream stock now has a forward yield of about 7%. The company is in a good place to maintain that dividend, too. Strong balance sheet, too CuriosityStream has $39 million in cash and no debt. But CEO Clint Stinchcomb told analysts on the earnings call that the company intends to pay its dividend with cash generated from operations. The liquidity it already holds could be used to cover some payments if quarterly cash flow is "lumpy," Stinchcomb said. The company is confident, however, that overall, it will pay the dividend from operations. CuriosityStream is keeping the cash it needs to invest back in the business, but returning any excess to shareholders. That's a sustainable model and a good reason to buy the stock for income.
