The major credit rating agencies have begun the process of declaring the country in default, which generally refers to a government unable to meet obligations on its debt. The agencies add that further sanctions at the end of May will further ratchet up pressure on Russia. On Friday, S&P Global Ratings downgraded Russia’s… Source link

It’s a three-man race for the top rookie honor. Evan Mobley, Cade Cunningham and Scottie Barnes are all deserving of Rookie of the Year for different reasons and it will be interesting to see which ways voters lean. Mobley was forced to sit out several games with an ankle injury to close out the season, but was incredible all season long. Cunningham started the season slow, coming off an injury of his own. Barnes averages the most minutes out of any rookie in the class (35.5), but has… Source link

GameStop Chairman Ryan Cohen has a long way to go before being mentioned in the same breath as investing legend Warren Buffett. At least that’s the hot take from top Wall Street analyst Anthony Chukumba of Loop Capital Markets, who famously dropped coverage of GameStop in early 2021 amid the meme stock frenzy. “I am not taking anything away from Ryan Cohen. He has at least three zeros in his net worth more than I do. He founded this company Chewy and sold it for a gazillion dollars. But let’s… Source link

Last year’s Pixel 5A was a fantastic product, but like the Pixel 4A before it, the phone’s August release didn’t do it any favors. Google’s original A-series budget phones — the Pixel 3A and 3A XL — shipped around the same time as the company’s I/O conference in May, a more sensible mid-year release that gave them more time to shine before the next flagship Pixel arrived. But supply chain issues and remote work challenges pushed both the 4A and 5A deep into the summer. Last… Source link
