The Trump Administration&a;rsquo;s &l;a href=&q;https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/07/us/politics/homeland-security-prosecute-undocumented-immigrants.html&q; target=&q;_blank&q;&g;increasingly tough crackdown on immigrants&l;/a&g; threatens to worsen an already severe shortage of aides who care for frail older adults and younger people with disabilities. The shortage of direct care workers will affect those living at home as well as those receiving residential care.
The problem already is squeezing &l;a href=&q;https://www.aarp.org/home-garden/livable-communities/info-2001/aresearch-import-688-FS86.html&q; target=&q;_blank&q;&g;nursing homes and assisted living facilities&l;/a&g;, as well as home health agencies. This is especially true in large cities, where many aides are immigrants. Turnover among direct care workers is high, in part because pay is so low. Home health aides, for example, are paid an average of only $10.33 an hour, and their median annual salary is only about $23,000.

As we’ve noted, the Saudi government is looking to press crude prices higher by reducing OPEC output and limiting shipments to Asia. Those cuts come as economic sanctions continue to weigh on the Venezuelan oil market. The United States imported 500,000 barrels of Venezuelan crude in November 2018, but sanctions will dry up that flow of oil to the United States. With oil prices set to rise in the coming months, we’ve identified the top energy stock to buy in March. Best of all, it’s under $10 per share.

Shares of lithium producer Livent (NYSE:LTHM) and newly profitable Vanda Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:VNDA) have underperformed the broader stock market in recent months. The former has been handicapped by the fact that its parent company, FMC, owned 84% of outstanding shares long after it went public.
