Facebook. Apple. Amazon. Netflix. Google. Five Big Tech giants known in investing circles simply as FAANG for years. That was until Mark Zuckerberg channeled his inner meta on Thursday.  The FAANG investing acronym was created in 2013 by Jim Cramer, the founder of TheStreet (full disclosure, my former boss who also created the term “Cloud Kings“). It was both catchy as hell and true to form for the companies it represented.  Think of a fang on a rabid dog and it’s not unlike all five tech… Source link

Mark Cuban just tripled his stake in Dogecoin — but his bet on these 2 stocks is 667x larger Mark Cuban just tripled his stake in popular cryptocurrency Dogecoin — from $500 to $1,500. Of course, for a billionaire shark and owner of the Dallas Mavericks, that’s not exactly a big chunk of change. While Cuban has been highly supportive of Dogecoin, calling it the “people’s way to pay” back in August, he recently told Fox Business that he owns the token just “for fun.” “I’ve… Source link

In fact, Zuckerberg is already starting to prepare for his own exit, says Cecilia Kang, a New York Times technology reporter and co-author of a new insider account of Facebook called, “An Ugly Truth: Inside Facebook’s Battle for Domination.” Kang, whose book draws on… Source link

Any time you tie a pitching record from Tom Seaver, it was probably a good day. Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Aaron Nola entered the history books on Friday by striking out 10 consecutive batters, tying but not breaking the New York Mets legend’s 51-year-old record. It was the first game of a planned doubleheader. Facing Seaver’s own Mets team, Nola opened the game by hitting Jeff McNeil with a pitch and allowing a double to Francisco Lindor, but then a run of sheer dominance began. Nola… Source link

There’s still no movement on the situation between Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. He didn’t report for the team’s mandatory minicamp earlier in the week, and the Packers haven’t given any clues about what they have done or plan to do to get him back on the field.  So in the absence of any new information (or any information he wanted to share), Packers president Mark Murphy broke out an old quote from the late, legendary Packers GM Ted Thompson to describe Rodgers at a Lambeau… Source link

By Elizabeth Culliford Twitter users can once again apply to be verified after a years-long freeze on public submissions for the site’s blue check marks, though the company said only “notable” users would be awarded the badge. The social media company paused public submissions for these badges in 2017 amid criticism that its verification program was arbitrary and confusing. It said at the time the check mark was being confused with “an endorsement or an indicator of importance”. Under the new… Source link

The other hero of Gonzaga’s buzzer-beating victory over UCLA on Saturday night made his biggest decision of the season three seconds before Jalen Suggs let fly. UCLA’s Johnny Juzang had just tied a Final Four thriller with 3.3 seconds to play in overtime. The ball dropped gently through the net. And most college basketball coaches, in that exact moment, would have called timeout. Gonzaga coach Mark Few didn’t. He trusted his players. And his split-second decision enabled Suggs’ magic. Few could… Source link
