Yahoo DFS Picks Week 5: NFL DFS lineup advice for daily fantasy football GPP tournaments

We’re back with our Week 5 Yahoo DFS tournament lineup, and as always, we’re looking to differentiate with a unique lineup. By nature, our lineup will be boom-or-bust with a low floor but huge upside. That’s how you can win big in GPPs.  There’s an extra standalone game this week, so the slate is trimmed down a little bit. The Rams, Seahawks, Jets, Falcons, Bills, Chiefs, Ravens, and Colts won’t be available on DFS main slates. That’s a lot of talent… Source link

PepsiCo takes a bullish stance on 2022

PepsiCo is so bullish on its product pipeline and ability to pass through price increases to combat pesky inflation, it did something out of character on Tuesday.  The beverage and snack giant — typically conservative on how it guides the Street —took a first stab at guidance for the next 15 months on its third quarter earnings release Tuesday. “Normally we don’t talk about the following year until February [earnings].

Facebook’s (FB) week went from bad to worse Monday when the social networking giant’s apps went dark worldwide for roughly six hours.

Google is about to turn on two-factor authentication by default for millions of users

In May, Google announced plans to enable two-factor authentication (or two-step verification as it’s referring to the setup) by default to enable more security for many accounts. Now it’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and Google is once again reminding us of that plan, saying in a blog post that it will enable two-factor for 150 million more accounts by the end of this year. In 2018, Google said that only 10 percent of its active accounts were using two-factor authentication. It has… Source link

Here’s What Yandex N.V.’s (NASDAQ:YNDX) Shareholder Ownership Structure Looks Like

If you want to know who really controls Yandex N.V. (NASDAQ:YNDX), then you’ll have to look at the makeup of its share registry. Insiders often own a large chunk of younger, smaller, companies while huge companies tend to have institutions as shareholders. Warren Buffett said that he likes “a business with enduring competitive advantages that is run by able and owner-oriented people.” So it’s nice to see some insider ownership, because it may suggest that management is owner-oriented. … Source link

What is short selling? Yahoo U explains

For more business and finance explainers, check out our Yahoo U page. Buying a stock is often a bet that the stock’s price will go up. But what if you want to bet on a stock price going down?
