Yahoo Mobile, one of Verizon’s prepaid brands, is shutting down and giving customers an “amazing option” for cell phone service. That option happens to be Visible, another one of Verizon’s prepaid brands. Visible is the all-digital brand, targeting Millennials, and while it might sound a little peculiar to recommend a hip digital brand to old-time Yahoo diehards, their services aren’t that different when it comes down to it. Yahoo Mobile started sending email messages to customers… Source link

A couple of years ago, I became a big believer in what I call “spot streaming.” In this article, I’ll explain the theory and practical components of this strategy. Roster spots have value. This means that a player who is using a spot on your roster (whether in the starting lineup or on your bench) has to have some immediate or long-term value to you. One of the biggest mistakes fantasy managers make is stubbornly holding onto players who aren’t helping their teams and have little… Source link

In May, the Biden administration reversed course and decided to back the idea of waiving intellectual property protections for COVID-19 vaccines. The move was meant to ensure more of the world can become inoculated. “Extraordinary circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic call for extraordinary measures,” U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai said at the time. David Ricks, CEO of pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly (LLY), told Yahoo Finance that “this is a counterproductive move.” “It just… Source link

Disaster always feels like it’s around the corner from the Milwaukee Bucks, a team that loves dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight in elimination games. Peril one minute, prosperity the next. Seventh heaven, seventh hell. It feels surer than ever that given the evidence and health of the participants, the Bucks are the better and deeper team compared to the Brooklyn Nets. They’ll enter Saturday night’s Game 7 in Brooklyn far removed from the club that trailed by nearly 50 in Game… Source link

Facing down the possibility of yet another ignominious Eastern Conference exit, the Milwaukee Bucks have forced a Game 7 against the NBA’s title favorites. Behind a playoff career-high 38 points from Khris Middleton, the Bucks defeated the Brooklyn Nets 104-89 on Thursday in Game 6 to even the series 3-3. The teams will play a Game 7 on Saturday at 8:30 p.m. ET in Brooklyn.

Shorting stocks can bring an investor serious profits – but there’s commensurate risk, as well. Basically, the short trader is betting that a stock will fall in price; it’s the opposite of most stock trading, in which the investor wants the shares to gain. Gaining, of course, is the risk in a short trade. There’s no ceiling on a stock’s potential gains, and in theory, a particular stock can see its price increase infinitely. But in a short sell, the trader has made the initial… Source link

Although the 38-year-old All Elite Wrestling star receives negative and hate-filled messages on the internet, those aren’t the ones that get to her. Instead, Rose focuses on the messages that let her know she’s doing her job — not just as a professional wrestler, but as a symbol for an entire community. “I love every bit of positive energy, but what means… Source link
