Max Verstappen’s title coronation will have to wait at least one more race. Verstappen finished seventh Sunday in a weird Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix as his Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez won the race. Perez and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc were far and away the fastest on the track while Verstappen, who started eighth, got only as high as fifth before his chances of a podium disappeared when he overdrove a corner trying to pass Lando Norris and had to pit for new tires. The race started… Source link

Calling Max Verstappen a massive favorite to win the Italian Grand Prix may be an understatement. Verstappen has won 10 of the first 14 races of the 2022 Formula 1 season and enters Sunday’s race (9 a.m. ET, ESPN2) at a wild -275 to win. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc is the No. 2 favorite at a distant +600 while Lewis Hamilton is at +800 to get his first win of the season. It’s easy to see why oddsmakers are confident in Verstappen’s chances at the win. Red Bull’s car has blown everyone… Source link

Serena Williams isn’t expected to win the 2022 US Open, but she’s the main story at the event. Williams announced the tournament would be her final one as a professional. Once she wins or gets eliminated from the event, she plans to retire. Once that happens, it will mark the end of a career for the best player of her era, as well as one of the greatest tennis players of all time. It’s impossible to overstate Williams’ contributions to the game. She’s won 23 Grand Slam tournaments, the most… Source link

Vettel has been outspoken on numerous issues over the last few seasons and made it clear that a Russian Grand Prix would go on without him if it’s still held on Sep. 25.

Wall Street sees the rationale behind Take-Two’s $12.7 billion deal to buy Zynga, even if traders hate the transaction at first blush. “Take-Two is using its balance sheet and equity to opportunistically buy a good mobile asset in a depressed market,” said Jefferies analyst Andrew Uerkwitz.  The Grand Theft Automaker said it would pay a 64% premium to scoop up Words With Friends developer Zynga, using a mix of cash and stock. Zynga will continue to be led by CEO Frank Gibeau, get two seats on… Source link

Andrew Benefield lived the baseball dream on Monday. The Dallas Baptist redshirt freshman stepped up to the plate with two outs in the seventh inning of an NCAA baseball tournament game against Oregon State. The bases were loaded as his Patriots trailed, 5-2. The winner would advance to the Super Regionals. The loser would go home.  When Beavers pitcher Joey Mundt sent a first-pitch fastball over the plate, Benefield responded with this: Umpire runs out of patience  Yep, that’s a go-ahead grand… Source link

TipRanks Goldman Sachs: These 3 Stocks Are Poised to Surge by Over 100% Markets are beset by volatility, with unpredictable swings making recent sessions something of a roller coaster.

The recent earnings season also gave reason for optimism – the S&P listed companies, collectively, reported… Source link

Google’s plan to replace third-party cookies is–on one level–really quite brilliant. Google’s entire business depends heavily on the ability to track users in order to identify their interests, and then show them “personalized ads” based on their web activity. The third-party cookie is a huge part of that business, which means it makes sense Google would want to be leading the way on whatever replaces it. Cookies, if you remember, are little snippets of code that websites use to identify… Source link

It’s ironic that a trading platform whose motto is “Investing for Everyone” would find itself at the center of a retail investor revolt against the Wall Street glitterati. What happened this past week with GameStop (GME), Reddit and Robinhood is a classic tale of David and Goliath, but even the pros say this time is different. “We’ve seen short squeezes in the past, but I call this one the grand awakening,” Kevin Simpson, portfolio manager at Capital Investment Management, told… Source link
