![Halloween candy is even sweeter when you're paying yourself for each treat you eat. One of the most sound investment strategies is to sink money into the things you love. If you're a beer drinker, you could build an entire fund out of Anheuser-Busch InBev , Molson Coors , Constellation Brand , Diageo, Boston Beer Company and Craft Brew Alliance . If you love gorging yourself on chip and watching games on Sunday, buying PepsiCo shares for Frito Lay and AT&T shares for DirecTV Sunday Ticket isn't such a bad idea. Are you a cord-cutter sticking it to the cable and satellite companies? Give Netflix , Amazon and Roku a hand. However, investing in candy around Halloween can be a bit tricky. Mars Incorporated is responsible for Snickers, Skittles, Twix, Three Musketeers, Dove chocolates, Milky Way and Starburst. It is also one of the largest privately held companies in the world and isn't looking for investor feedback. Just Born, the makers of Mike and Ike, Hot Tamales, Peeps and Goldberg's Peanut Chews is also privately held. If you're looking to make a dime off the folks who both love and loathe candy corn, you're out of luck unless you're an executive with privately held Ferrara, which now owns the rights to Brach's candy corn, Lemondheads, Now and Laters, Chuckles, Jujyfruit and Trolli candies. As it turns out, publicly traded candy is actually something of a rare breed in its corner of the industry. If you have a sweet tooth and want to become a shareholder in a company that feeds your fixation, you only have a handful of options to choose from. Around this time of year, in particular, that seems patently unfair. If you're resisting the urge to disconnect the doorbell, dim the lights and play dead this Halloween, chances are you'll be investing in candy of some sort. (Unless you're that weird pennies and raisins house. Don't be that house.) Since you're splurging on sugar anyway, it may be worth investing a little extra in the candy companies selling you the stuff. With that sweet incentive in mind, we took around the market and found a handful of candy stocks worth considering: More of What's Trending on TheStreet: The Crash of '87 -- TheStreet Special Report Why Walmart's Grocery Business Won't Get Destroyed by Its New European Rivals How to Protect Yourself From a Market Crash: Invest With Your Brain Not Heart 'Anything Can Happen' in This Stock Market -- Vanguard Founder Bogle Says]({"default":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAtJhoV.img?h=64&w=85&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&f=jpg&x=507&y=384"} "Halloween candy is even sweeter when you're paying yourself for each treat you eat.

![<p>While ETFs are typically diversified portfolios, they usually invest in a specific industry or sector of the market. Even ETFs that track major swaths of the market, such as S&P500 index funds, should be considered single investments. As Vanguard explained, “Don't look at ETFs as wholly different mutual funds. Similar to mutual funds, they are essentially just diversified portfolios of stocks or bonds. If you are considering investing in ETFs, take the same careful and thoughtful approach to building your portfolio as you would with other investments.

![<p>When it comes to American public schools, early childhood education and high school achievement tend to dominate the conversation -- while middle school quality tends to take a backseat. Despite the apparent lack of emphasis, children spend some of their most pivotal years of development in middle school.</p><p>Middle school serves as a critical bridge between elementary school and high school. Middle schools typically consist of the sixth, seventh, and eighth grade, and sometimes include the fifth grade as well. Currently, about 1 in every 5 Americans enrolled in school are fifth to eighth graders.</p><p>The best methods in education remain a matter of debate and schools approach teaching, administration, and discipline differently. While there is little consensus as to which methods are the best, it is clear that some schools manage to deliver exceptional results where others struggle. Based on analysis by school ranking website Niche, which considers factors such as academic proficiency, parent and student reviews, school culture, and more, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed data from to identify the best public or charter middle school in each state.</p><p>An important and measurable quality of a given school is the ratio between students and teachers. Though there is widespread disagreement on the optimal student-to-teacher ratio, many argue that a low ratio often fosters stronger outcomes as instructors are better able to focus on individual students and their needs.</p><p>Nationwide, there are 16 students for every teacher in public schools. The majority of the best middle schools in each state have lower than average student-to-teacher ratios. In Big Stone City Middle School in South Dakota, there are only six students per teacher, the lowest ratio of any school on this list.</p><p>Educational outcomes are the ultimate test of a school’s quality. In 34 of the 50 schools on this list, at least three-quarters of the student body are considered proficient in reading and math. In every school on the list, at least half of all students are proficient in reading, and only one school on this list -- Southwest Intermediate Learning Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico -- has a math proficiency score below 50%.</p><p>Just because a school ranks as the best in its respective state does not necessarily mean it compares favorably on a national scale. Several states have notoriously weak public school systems and even their best schools rank behind thousands of others nationwide. For example, though Suncrest Middle School is the best in West Virginia, more than 2,000 middle schools in the United States are ranked higher. On the other side of the coin, four of the five best middle schools in the country are in Arizona.</p><p>To determine the best public middle school in every state, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed rankings for all public schools from school and neighborhood data clearinghouse Niche. Data on rank, number of students, student-to-teacher ratio, and math and reading proficiency also came from Niche. Some schools on this list include high school and elementary school grade levels.</p>]({"default":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAuncfe.img?h=64&w=85&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&f=jpg&x=1113&y=571"} "When it comes to American public schools, early childhood education and high school achievement tend... - Thinkstock")

![Pan American World Airways, more commonly referred to as Pan Am, was the largest international air carrier in the US from 1927 until their bankruptcy in 1991. Poor branding resulting from a bombed flight over Scotland and rising oil prices from the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait ultimately did them in. Investors brought back Pan Am in 1996 but after losing money Pan Am & Carnival Air Lines decided to merge in 1997. In 1998 Pan Am filed for Chapter 11 again and Guilford transportation acquired the Pan Am name & assets. Due to rising fuel costs Pan Am airlines ceased airline operations in 2008 but there are still train cars owned by Guilford Transportation bearing the Pan Am name.

![<p>There’s a fresh-to-the-U.S. supermarket chain with a funny name that has some very serious plans for American shoppers. Germany-based Lidl (rhymes with needle) is a deep-discount retailer that started rolling out stores in June. Several locations are already up and running in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Delaware. Lidl’s goal is to open another 100 stores along the East Coast within a year and operate 1,400 across the nation by 2023. The U.S. headquarters is in Arlington, Va.</p><p>Lidl may be new to you, but the company is no newcomer. It operates 10,000 stores in 27 countries, and has famously squared off against rival German grocery discounter Aldi in Europe, where it has found immense popularity. (Pub denizens even sing <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL7jyXCQ2Zc" target="_blank">a ballad about Lidl</a> in Ireland.) <strong>The success of Lidl’s business strategy relies on small-but-attractive stores, high-quality store brands, eclectic non-grocery offerings and, above all, super-low prices.</strong> If U.S. shoppers embrace the concept, the chain could quickly become a serious threat to a wide swath of retailers, from traditional supermarkets to dollar stores, warehouse clubs to sporting goods stores.</p><p>“Lidl’s entry into the U.S. is going to be the greatest thing to raise shoppers’ standard of living since World War II, more than Amazon, more than plunging energy prices; Lidl will precipitate a price war of unprecedented proportions,” says Burt P. Flickinger III, managing director of Strategic Resource Group, a consulting firm specializing in retail and consumer goods.</p><p>There’s a lot more to learn about Lidl.

![<p>People planning for retirement have no shortage of rules of thumb to follow when they ask, <a href="https://www.gobankingrates.com/investing/you-dont-need-million-dollars-retire/">"How much money do I need to retire?"</a> Some experts suggest saving 1 percent of your salary by age 30, increasing every year until you have 10 times your salary saved at age 67. Others suggest $1 million as a solid goal. Still, others suggest accumulating enough to cover 80 percent of your current expenses each year.</p><p>The reality, however, is that what you need depends on where you live.</p><p>GOBankingRates calculated the average annual expenditures for a retired person in each state by examining each state's average cost of housing, groceries, transportation, healthcare and utilities. Next, we calculated how much money a retiree would need to start with to pay for these expenses, figuring a 4 percent withdrawal from savings each year. This assumes post-retirement investments will get an average return of 6 percent. That's a conservative estimate that leaves room for the effect of inflation.</p><p>Are you on track to save enough money for retirement?
