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

Making money in the stock market will likely look different over the next few years compared to the low interest rate era seen from the end of the Great Financial Crisis, says BlackRock’s CIO of U.S. fundamental equities Tony DeSpirito. “It’s a really big deal,” says DeSpirito on Yahoo Finance Live. DeSpirito explains that since the end of the financial crisis, the economy has experienced very low growth, very low inflation and very low rates. But those factors largely ended during the… 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

WNBA draft night is a big night for all the players, fans, and draftees, but no one had quite the experience that Northwestern’s Veronica Burton had. Burton, a Newton, Massachusetts, native, was picked seventh overall by the Dallas Wings during Monday night’s WNBA draft, and shortly after she got a call from someone she absolutely did not expect: Tom Brady. “Hey, Veronica, what’s up? I just wanted to congratulate you on being drafted,” Brady said on the call. “The four-time Big Ten… Source link

Netflix (NFLX) on Monday unveiled a new “Two Thumbs Up” button that will allow subscribers to love content, moving beyond the thumbs up-down binary. Yes, we could love “Stranger Things” and like “Inventing Anna” before Monday — but there wasn’t a way for viewers to expressly help Netflix’s algorithm draw that distinction. Now, users will have the option to rate movies and shows they watch with a thumbs down, a thumbs up, or two thumbs up. This second thumb has a deeply practical… Source link

U.S. stock futures jumped in pre-market trading Tuesday as investors assessed fresh inflation data out of Washington that showed prices in March further accelerated to a new 40-year high.

Meanwhile, Treasury yields slightly retreated, but the benchmark 10-year yield remained above 2.7%, the highest level since January 2019. The moves follow a down day… Source link

This week’s Ask An SEO question comes from Andrew in Chatanooga, who wrote: “I have a client who is a personal injury attorney with a last name that is the same as a major U.S. city (City Name Removed). Google gets confused sometimes and puts his firm’s website on SERPs for that city plus our targeted keywords. In Google Search Console, these queries keep gaining traction over other, legitimate queries. Is there a way to let Google know that his last name is not in fact the city that… Source link

U.S. consumer price increases quickened in March, underscoring ongoing inflationary pressures as supply chain disruptions and shortages lingered across the economy. The Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (BLS) Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 8.5% in March compared to the same month last year, according to the latest report released Tuesday. That marked the fastest rise since December 1981. This followed a 7.9% annual increase in February. Heading into the report, consensus economists were looking… Source link
