Buying a car 101: 5 tips for potential buyers Kelley Blue Book executive editor Brian Moody joins Wealth with Brad Smith to discuss his five tips for potential car buyers. Moody's first tip is to know your credit score. He notes it's "no problem if you don't have excellent credit, but you want to know that before you go into the process, not in the middle because it will affect your payment if you're borrowing money to buy a car." Second, he recommends getting pre-approved for a loan, explaining, "You're not borrowing the money yet. You still will allow for the dealership to beat that rate and oftentimes they can, but if they can't, then you have that in your back pocket." The third tip is that buyers "should know approximately what interest rate you qualify for, [which is] tied to your credit score, and the bank can help you with that." Watch the video above to hear all five of Kelley Blue Book executive editor Brian Moody's tips for prospective car buyers.

DeepSeek's AI launch is a 'wake-up call,' Appian CEO says Appian (APPN) Founder and CEO Matt Calkins joins Market Domination to analyze the implications of the latest AI model from Chinese startup DeepSeek for the artificial intelligence sector. "The war for AI is gonna be an asymmetric war between the US and China and anybody else who gets involved. And the things that make us strong are not the same that's gonna make China strong," he tells Yahoo Finance, emphasizing that the US should pursue its own path rather than trying to "match" China's approach. Calkins advocates for establishing a "national regulatory framework" that safeguards privacy, copyright, and individual rights for Americans. He argues this would position the US for success in the AI space. He believes such a framework must first identify what data is being used while understanding the true sources of AI's value. "This DeepSeek announcement is a wake-up call. Everybody thought they knew where the value came from," the Appian chief executive states, adding, "And I would expect a bunch more surprises to come," comparing DeepSeek's market entry to OpenAI's impact on the industry.
