Top 10 Financial Stocks To Invest In Right Now

tags:EPU,UVSP,HSBA,IYF,FBNC,RNR,EWBC,SLG,CME,MHLD,A little more than a week after her husband Les Moonves stepped down as chief executive of CBS amid sexual misconduct allegations, Julie Chen signed off from a show she's co-hosted on the network for nearly a decade.

In a video message that aired on Tuesday's edition of "The Talk," which is on CBS, Chen told viewers that she is leaving the show for familial reasons.

"Right now, I need to spend more time at home with my husband and young son," Chen said.

Moonves stepped down as chief executive of CBS last week amid sexual misconduct allegations that were brought to light in a pair of exposés published by the New Yorker.

Sources told CNN on Monday that Chen would be leaving the show, with one of the sources saying that she "has decided that her main focus needs to be clearing her husband's name from accusations made 25-30 years ago and tending to her son."

Sources told CNN that Chen will continue to host "Big Brother," the long-running CBS reality show. But her status on "The Talk" has been in doubt ever since Moonves' departure. Before Tuesday, Chen had not appeared on the current season of "The Talk" since it premiered last week.

    Sure, I will invest more in certain high-confidence picks than others, but without going overboard. This might limit the overall impact that a triple-digit winner makes in my High-Yield Investing portfolio -- like the 156% gain we made on CME Group (Nasdaq: CME) when we sold in May 2018 -- but it will also soften the blow from a laggard.

However, it remains very unclear what will happen in the coming weeks. Investors should prepare themselves accordingly. Money Morning Quantitative Specialist Chris Johnson has scoured the numbers and given investors a number of ways to make money on this massive geopolitical trend, right here. We are seeing some problems on the trading front from CME Group Inc. (NYSE: CME). The Chicago-based exchange operator halted trading for three hours Tuesday night after a glitch caused an outage.
