Stock futures tick higher ahead of Election Day

TipRanks 3 “Strong Buy” Stocks Insiders Are Snapping Up Inside trading has a bad sound to it, but what is it really? Corporate insiders are company officers – the Presidents and VPs and Execs and Board members who run the world’s public – and private – companies. Their positions put them ‘in the know,’ and make them privy to the inner workings of their companies. Using that information to buy up stock would be underhanded, except for two points. First, they trade public shares… Source link

49ers lose Jimmy Garoppolo, George Kittle for extended time, per report

The chances of the San Francisco 49ers winning the NFC West again — or even making the playoffs at all — are getting dimmer by the day. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and tight end George Kittle will each miss significant time with injuries, according to multiple reports. Both Garoppolo and Kittle left Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks with injuries, and they will take quite awhile to heal. Garoppolo, who is celebrating his 29th birthday on Monday, reportedly has a high ankle… Source link

Antonio Brown’s physical fitness ‘shocked’ the Bucs, per report

Antonio Brown is just a week away from making his 2020 NFL debut, the closest he’s been to an NFL game in over a year. After being away from football for so long, the recently-signed Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver could’ve had a lot of work to do to get back into game day shape. But just the opposite is true. Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer reported on Sunday that to the surprise and delight of the Bucs, Brown walked into the facility in peak physical condition. “As far as physically, they… Source link

Here’s who workers at America’s biggest employers are backing for president

Americans voting for a presidential candidate this year are less likely to have a job than those who cast ballots in 2016. Despite some recovery in the labor market since pandemic lows in April, the U.S. employment rate remains depressed amid a slowing recovery. In October 2016, the official U.S. unemployment rate was 4.9%, compared to 7.9% last month — though the actual jobless rate is thought to be even higher. With jobs top of mind for millions of Americans this election, Yahoo Finance… Source link

This Bill Belichick decision ‘really disappointed’ Rodney Harrison

Rodney Harrison ‘really disappointed’ in one Belichick decision vs. Bills originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston Momentum can be powerful, but here’s the tricky thing about it: it’s incredibly fleeting.

Here’s how it went down: in the third quarter, after forcing their first… Source link

Peter King’s midseason NFL Power Rankings

Back in June, I did the fruitless annual 1-to-32 ranking of the NFL teams. Not sure which pick outraged the masses most, but it was either ranking Tampa Bay fifth or New England 21st. Looks like I was way off. Had the Bucs too low, and I might have had the Patriots too high. With 12 teams at the halfway point (the Bucs and Giants will make that 14 tonight), I’ve re-stacked the board here. (You’ll never guess 32.) After the highest-scoring first seven weeks of any NFL season, I’m… Source link

Biden leads Trump by 10 as voters fear a chaotic Election Day

On the eve of what threatens to be the most contentious and potentially confusing Election Day in modern memory, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden retains a double-digit lead over President Trump in the final Yahoo News/YouGov poll of the 2020 campaign — a 10-point margin that’s more than three times as large as Hillary Clinton’s final polling advantage in 2016.  Yet most voters (51 percent) also expect Trump to refuse to concede if he loses the election — and more than… Source link
