Tiger in contention after Round 1
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods has now started 358 tournaments on the PGA Tour and until this one — his most improbable one, the 2022 Masters — his definition of winning was simple: sit atop the leaderboard at the end of competition. Woods’ ferocious competitive instincts and obsession to win, perhaps bordering on unhealthy, has driven him across his career. There were no second places, no top-five finishes. There is victory. There is failure. Then came Thursday here at Augusta National… Source link

While U.S. lawmakers have offered at least a dozen overlapping bills to regulate their own stock trades, it wasn’t until Thursday that a senator detailed plans for a final push to pass the legislation this year. “We need to be able to come back two weeks from now and have a consolidated vision in the Senate,” Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) said of work to be done during the upcoming Easter recess. “Otherwise we are going to miss this opportunity.” With election season right around the corner, he… Source link

Search marketers are buzzing about Google’s John Mueller calling AI-generated content “spam.” He did this while answering a question during the April 1 Google Search Central SEO office-hours hangout (and it was no joke). Mueller’s response is not shocking. Especially considering Google has answered this question many times in recent years. Plus, automatically generated content has long been part of their webmaster guidelines as something to avoid. Yet, AI-generated content is a popular… Source link

U.S. households — particularly low-income ones — are still sitting on a healthy pandemic nest egg, cushioning them for now against steep price increases on food and energy. That means that even with consumer prices forecast to have risen 8.4% in March, shoppers shouldn’t be running out of cash. That’s the finding of a new Consumer Checkpoint report from the Bank of America Institute, which showed debit and credit card spending rose 11% last month, or 6.7% on a per-household basis. The… Source link

Rite Aid’s (RAD) outlook is a hot mess — so hot the company may not be in business much longer. At least that’s the word from Deutsche Bank analyst George Hill, who issued a damning downgrade of the struggling retailer on Thursday. Hill slashed his rating on Rite Aid to Sell and slapped the stock with a $1 price target. Most worrisome — at least if one still owns Rite Aid’s stock — is that Hill suggests Rite Aid may go under. “We see a likely risk that the company provides guidance next… Source link
