(Bloomberg) — Meta Platforms Inc.’s one-day crash may rank as the worst in stock-market history. Most Read from Bloomberg The Facebook parent plunged 24% in U.S. trading Thursday on the back of poor earnings results, putting it on track to erase more than $200 billion. At current levels, that’s the biggest collapse in market value for any U.S. company. But there’s no certainty the losses will hold, especially given the recent volatility that’s whipped across technology shares. Markets… Source link

“Buy the dip” has been a headline-making phrase lately. Whether from professional strategists, or in the form of a meme on Twitter, the mantra has inspired an entire generation of investors to go bargain hunting for stocks in the face of a market pullback. Moreover, price action since the onset of the pandemic has generally favored that strategy: every drawdown since the beginning of 2020 has been followed by a comeback to a new high. But after a dismal start to the year for equities, and… Source link

Every February the world celebrates Black History Month, and we often see huge brands getting a makeover to join in the celebrations. This month is no different, with Yahoo kicking things off with a vibrant logo redesign.  Yahoo’s temporary new logo is designed by Trap Bob (or Tenbeete Solomon), who has taken influence from her Ethiopian roots. The redesign has taken Yahoo’s famous wordmark but drenched it in colour and replaced one of the ‘O’s with an illustration of a black woman. Feeling… Source link

Trap Bob, also known as Tenbeete Solomon, creates art based on everyday experiences to better connect and represent Black life… Source link

History shows it has paid off to buy stocks after major plunges. An investor buying the S&P 500 (^GSPC) 10% below its high, regardless of whether it was the trough, would have netted a median return of 15% over the next 12 months, according to new research going back to 1950 from Goldman Sachs (GS) strategist David Kostin.  Kostin notes there have been 33 S&P 500 corrections of 10% or more since 1950. The median episode has lasted roughly 5 months and encompassed a peak-to-trough decline of… Source link

If this wasn’t the greatest weekend in NFL playoff history, it’ll do until a better one comes along. Four walkoff wins. Four games decided by a combined 15 points. Three upsets that rank among the best games of the year, and one undeniable classic that ranks among the best NFL games of all time. This is why the NFL, like the house, always wins in the end — because after all the off-field drama, after all the sleazy amoral corporate maneuvering and criminal behavior, this is a game that,… Source link

The Buffalo Bills handed the New England Patriots an embarrassing 47-17 wild-card loss on Saturday night, and in the process they made NFL history.  They became the first team ever to have a perfect offensive performance. They scored touchdowns on every single one of their possessions (except the kneel downs at the end of the game). They didn’t face a single fourth down in the entire game, so they had no punts or field goals. They also held onto the ball when they had it, turning the ball… Source link
