For drivers with a car loan, it is especially important to make sure they have the right auto insurance. One of the key types of car insurance coverage that may be necessary is called gap insurance.

Stocks (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) have pulled back in the last several trading sessions, already posting two consecutive losing weeks in 2024's first quarter. Is the market on track for where it should be or is it still playing catch-up from prior years? Ned Davis Research (NDR) Chief Global Investment Strategist Tim Hayes weighs in on the market's trajectory amid inflation and interest rate pressures. "If you have a rally like we've had, it creates a lot of optimism and creates a lot of complacency and it leaves the market vulnerable... you never know what the trigger is going to be. In this case, it was the timing of the [interest[ rate cut by the Fed [Federal Reserve], which has sort of been the trigger," Hayes tells Yahoo Finance. "But what it's done, though, is it's... improved the sentiment, so kind of relieved the optimism. In that sense, it's been a healthy correction..."

Millions of Americans have already received tax refunds this year, leaving many tax filers wondering how they should spend or invest the sudden windfall. Strategic Wealth Capital Founder & Managing Partner Adrianne Yamaki joins Wealth! to discuss how Americans can invest the funds. Yamaki encourages her clients to use the extra cash on Roth conversions, a way of prepaying some of the income tax you will owe on retirement distributions while taxes are lower. The immediacy of such a tax bill can be daunting, Yamaki says, but savers will pay a lot more in tax when they eventually remove their funds from an IRA. With "taxes on sale" for another year and a half, prepaying now locks in a lower rate, Yamaki adds. For additional tax savings, Yamaki encourages filers with 1099 income to write off home costs, even if they are currently renting. There is a standard home deduction, but a larger space can be calculated as a percentage of one's home, Yamaki explains.

Former President Donald Trump is on trial in New York City, where he is facing felony charges related to a 2016 hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Trump last April pleaded not guilty to a 34-count indictment charging him with falsifying business records in connection with a hush money payment his then-attorney Michael Cohen made to Daniels in order to boost his electoral prospects in the 2016 presidential election. Under questioning from Assistant District Attorney Joshua Steinglass, prospective jurors agreed to weigh the evidence before them and nothing else -- vowing to set aside any personal feelings toward the former president or outside influences, in order to deliver a fair verdict.

As older Americans prepare to transfer their wealth or will it to their family, what should inheritors know before receiving this large sum of money? Wealthstream Advisors Financial Advisor Katharine George explains the do's and don'ts when inheriting wealth, which includes money and even real estate property. "I try to stay away from rules of thumbs but I would say in general, [avoid] making big decisions. I would say wait about six months or so, especially if you're grieving," George says. "These big changes... in that short period of time when you're grieving if it was someone close to you, we don't want to make any decisions that are rash. So buying another property or going on a big vacation. These big changes, it could be that you need these assets invested and saved for your long term or it could be you could retire tomorrow. It really depends on the personal situation but not making any of these big decisions immediately after is really important, really let the dust settle."

CHARLESTON, W.Va.

A Russian poetry competition has banned transgender people from submitting entries this year, in what it says is an effort to protect traditional values. The Andrei Dementyev All-Russian Poetry Prize, organised by the government of western Russia's Tver region, accepts applications until late April from poets "regardless of citizenship, nationality, profession and place of residence". The competition organisers said the move was an effort to "preserve the ideas of marriage, family, motherhood, fatherhood and childhood that are traditional for Russian society".
