Grab your tiniest violin: Google, once known for its lavish work perks, is slashing its fun budget. Employees can no longer jet off on as many jollies as they used to and are going to have to dramatically scale back their Christmas parties. The cost-cutting hasn’t gone down well with Google staff, who confronted the CEO, Sundar Pichai, at a recent company-wide meeting. Why was Google “nickel-and-diming” them, Pichai was asked, when the company “had record profits and huge cash… Source link

This post was originally published on TKer.co The U.S. economy is closely related to the U.S. stock market. But that relationship is not perfect in a number of ways. An important way the two differ is international exposure. According to FactSet, S&P 500 companies1 generate around 40% of revenue outside of the U.S.2 That means these companies are significantly dependent on the health of the international economies in which they operate.

Which puts me in the supremely uncomfortable position of … having to root for Gruden to dig in and keep fighting the league? Ugh. What a downright icky realization. Let me explain: In court filings recently reviewed by reporter David Charns of KLAS, the NFL alleges that Gruden didn’t just send racist, sexist, xenophobic and/or anti-gay emails while he was with ESPN and writing to… Source link

Baker Mayfield got the starting nod for the Carolina Panthers in their first preseason game Saturday. In return for that distinction, he checked an important box against the Washington Commanders — looking healthy, confident and (for the most part) sharp in his lone drive of the day. That drive ultimately stalled out on a bungled snap exchange, leaving the Panthers to kick a field goal in what amounted to a modest debut for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 draft. In that brief appearance,… Source link

Inflation has been a persistent nightmare, and rising rents nationwide are partly to blame. Unfortunately for renters, things are unlikely to get better this year. “No quick relief in rent increases,” Alan Detmeister, a senior economist at UBS, told Yahoo Finance. “Probably not getting too much worse after the early next year [or] probably peaking early next year but then a long slow, downward pace on rent increases and still staying high through at least the end of 2024.” The rental inflation… Source link

Discipline is the most important trait for day traders, says stock trading educator Teri Ijeoma. “The most important thing about day traders is having discipline,” the founder of Trade and Travel told Yahoo Finance Live. “You have to be able to follow a trading plan,” she said, adding that the “discipline to be able to sell or buy at the right time is important.” The S&P 500 (^GSCP) just capped its worst first half of the year since 1970 amid tighter monetary policy and fears of a recession….

Google has dozens of real estate projects around the U.S., and it says at least 20 key projects will receive investments this year to the tune of nearly $10 billion. In a blog post Wednesday, Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai highlighted country-wide offices and data centers either under construction or opening in 2022. In California alone, it’s working on construction and some housing in the San Francisco Bay Area, including two large office buildings in Mountain View, near its… Source link

Step aside Apple and Google, Nvidia may be the new king of tech, one analyst contends. “Nvidia may be the most technology company today,” said Evercore ISI analyst C.J. Muse in a new note on Monday.

So much anticipation on what’s possible, and it all lived up to the hype (until you got into your first accident, then it sucked). This week the Federal Reserve… Source link
