The key drivers of the late 2023 stock market rally have faded. With investors increasingly questioning when the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates, the so-called “soft landing” trade which saw investors pour into interest-rate sensitive sectors has stumbled to start 2024. That raises the question of what the next catalyst is — and investors may not need to look further than the tech sector (XLK). Despite the recent craze over small caps and other hot trades that could benefit from… Source link

On Monday, Donald Trump will enter a new phase in his financial and legal challenges when jury selection begins in the Manhattan district attorney’s criminal tax fraud trial against his business. The Trump Organization might face an uphill battle on the legal merits of the case, as its former CFO, Allen Weisselberg, already pleaded guilty and is set to implicate his former employer. But the structure of the Trump Organization and its status as a holding company could make it hard to punish… Source link

Davante Adams was frustrated after the Las Vegas Raiders‘ 30-29 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He’ll regret how he took out that frustration. On his way back to the locker room after the game, Adams shoved a cameraman to the ground. ESPN’s cameras caught the act and played it on “SportsCenter” after the game. It’s not a good look for Adams and the NFL will not take kindly to it either. Adams was clearly upset as the game ended. He and teammate Hunter Renfrow collided downfield on a… Source link

The San Diego Padres were never going to catch the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West after their trade-deadline flurry, but they were expected to comfortably make the playoffs. Maybe they will eventually run away with a wild-card spot, but it hasn’t been easy. The Padres are 10-13 since the deadline. Fernando Tatis Jr. got suspended for PEDs. Josh Hader has been a surprising disaster. Not much has gone right. It doesn’t get easier for the Padres on Monday night. The Padres face the San… Source link

NORTH PLAINS, Ore. — As Phil Mickelson approached the tee box Thursday for his first shot on U.S. soil as a member of the LIV Golf Invitational Series, a fan asked: “How you doing, Phil?” “Awesome,” he replied. The face of LIV Golf has been all smiles this week at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club, accommodating fans asking for his trademark thumbs up sign or looking for a fist bump. And his mood didn’t change Friday even after a second consecutive 75 that has him at 6-over for the first two… Source link

The specter of paying wide receivers top-dollar contracts has teams bailing on receivers before they want to. We can thank the Jacksonville Jaguars giving Christian Kirk $21 million per year for the madness that has ensued. With top receivers now eyeing contracts far beyond Kirk’s $21 million per year, the Green Bay Packers shipped off Davante Adams, the Kansas City Chiefs traded Tyreek Hill, and on Thursday during the first round of the NFL draft, the Tennessee Titans traded A.J. Brown for a… Source link

SALT LAKE CITY — Despite the ridicule Los Angeles Lakers star Russell Westbrook has received in his first season with the franchise, one constant the guard has provided is availability. Westbrook has been in the lineup in all but one of the team’s 76 contests. His lone absence was an early February game in Portland due to lower back tightness. The Los Angeles native admitted it has been a trying experience for him and his family as he has been scolded by fans and media for what he would… Source link

With Practice Sets, not only will teachers be able to send out problem sets, but they’ll be… Source link

Buffalo Bills at Kansas City Chiefs is a phenomenal divisional round matchup. You can tell by the point spread.  The Chiefs opened as 2.5-point favorites at BetMGM, and that moved to -1.5 by Wednesday. Think about that: The team that has Patrick Mahomes, has played in the past two Super Bowls and has won 10 of 11 is seeing the betting line move against them.  Just because it’s a big game — and this could well be the biggest game of the entire season before the Super Bowl — doesn’t mean… Source link
