Outside the Yuengling Center on the first day of March, the palm trees are still and partly cloudy skies are barely partly cloudy. Inside, the mood matches the moment. The South Florida men’s basketball team is smiling and breezy before what’s to be a light practice. A final home game, and the Senior Day celebration that comes with it, awaits the following afternoon. The season has not been what anyone expected, largely because the person everyone wants to be here isn’t. But this is a morning to stare at the bright side.“It’s a great day! It’s a great day!” hollers…

Heathrow Airport was warned of the threat posed by potential substation failures days before a fire forced the airport’s shutdown last month, the head of an airline advocacy group told British lawmakers on Wednesday.“I’d actually warned Heathrow of concerns that we had with regard to the substations,” Nigel Wicking, the chief executive of the Heathrow Airline Operators’ Committee, which represents dozens of airlines that use the airport, told the parliamentary transport committee.The fire at the Hyde North substation near Heathrow Airport late last month forced Europe’s busiest travel hub to close for nearly a full day, dashing the holiday plans…

A select few stocks with defensive characteristics should be immune from the market volatility that might result from President Donald Trump’s Wednesday tariff announcement . Uncertainty around the mounting trade war has troubled markets lately, sending stocks lower to begin the year. All three major indexes are now trading below the levels with which they began 2025. Investors have also swapped out high-flying growth names for their more defensive counterparts, favoring sectors such as consumer staples and utilities. Investors will get further details on April 2 when Trump is expected to unveil new tariffs, including the start of reciprocal duties,…
As the market braces for President Donald Trump’ s massive tariff rollout, investors should be cautious of some stocks that have meaningful Canada revenue exposure. On Wednesday ahead of the announcement, stocks ticked higher, with all three major averages in positive territory in what’s already been a volatile week. Those moves come as the market has seen recent declines. In fact, the S & P 500 has closed out five of the past six weeks in the red, as investor uncertainty surrounding Trump’s tariffs and anxiety about the U.S. economy facing a recession plagued stocks. Against this market backdrop, CNBC…

This is my fifth annual NFL mock draft based on all the intel I’ve gathered from speaking to dozens of college coaches and NFL sources during the past two months.My goal with this project is to provide unique insight directly from the eyes of rival coaches who have not only studied and scouted these prospects but game-planned for and then faced each of them — in many cases, more than once. Those sources, granted anonymity to speak freely about the prospects, know exactly what they’re dealing with and what they’ve tried to do against these players in real-game situations.(Note: An…
Myanmar’s military on Wednesday declared a 21-day cease-fire to support relief and reconstruction efforts in the wake of a devastating earthquake in the country, a day after it fired on a Chinese Red Cross convoy trying to deliver food and medicine to desperate survivors.The attack on the Chinese convoy, which was widely condemned by rights activists, highlighted the dangers aid groups face from the country’s ongoing civil war.It remains unclear whether the cease-fire would be honored — armed rebel groups said the military had launched scores of airstrikes since Friday’s 7.7-magnitude temblor, which killed at least 2,700.In the wake of…
Conservative news channel Newsmax raised $75 million Monday by offering 7.5 million shares at $10. This was not technically an IPO, it was a Regulation A offering. Reg A+, as it is called, was established in 2015 under the JOBS Act. It allows small companies to raise capital, but without undergoing the full SEC registration process. The idea was to reduce cost and administrative burdens. Issuers still must file audited financial statements and provide ongoing reports . In Reg A+, an advisor sells as many shares as possible up to the maximum offered. The primary focus is to sell to retail investors,…
We’ve talked here about how compelling chart patterns can be uncovered — either through screening or by methodically flipping through charts one by one. I do both every day. But sometimes, the best setups surface in less conventional ways. Take last Friday: the S & P 500 dropped 2%, one of its worst single-day declines in the last three years. Only 18% of index components finished higher, and the hardest-hit sectors were large-cap growth: XLK (Tech), XLC (Comm Services) and XLY (Consumer Discretionary). Just six out of 135 stocks in those three sectors managed to close green — roughly 4%.…
