Almost every year since 2008, talks surrounding the National Football League’s Pro Bowl location arises, and this year is no different. And now, the idea of moving the event to Las Vegas or Los Angeles is being considered, according to league officials. The NFL moved the Pro Bowl from Aloha Stadium in Hawaii, which hosted the game since 1980, after the 2013 season. The league does like Orlando for the Pro Bowl, one reason being the many options for family activities. “I guess it was if you’re go

“The existing IPO market is not broken from an investor standpoint; it’s broken from the issuer standpoint,” Smith told CNBC’s “ETF Edge” on Wednesday. “But the fact that the IPO market rejected WeWork tells you something about the sentiment and the knowledge of investors in the marketplace.” “Because there’s so many private companies that have been private so long, we’re going to see some really big companies tap the IPO market … in the first half,” she said. And the thing is that this year, gi

Pompeo accused reporter Mary Louise Kelly of lying, but did not deny her account of what happened. “NPR reporter Mary Louise Kelly lied to me, twice,” Pompeo asserted, without evidence. This is another example of how unhinged the media has become in its quest to hurt President Trump and this Administration. Pompeo cut off their recorded interview when Kelly pressed him repeatedly on why he has not defended former Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch. “Pompeo’s official response [to Kelly] doe

The State Department has established a task force to facilitate the evacuation of the U.S. consulate in the city of Wuhan, China, where the coronavirus continues to spread, according to NBC News. The State Department continues to work with the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs to arrange a flight to the U.S. for Wuhan consulate employees, their family members and any other U.S. citizens who wish to leave the city.

A nontransparent ETF is an exchange-traded fund that — unlike traditional ETFs — would not disclose what its actual holdings are on a daily basis. Instead, some nontransparent ETFs will publish a portfolio with other stocks that is representative of the underlying strategy.

Yet for all the anecdotal and atmospheric resonance, today’s level of valuation, market momentum and speculative activity are nowhere near as extreme as in 1999. The largest stock in the market today, Apple, is approaching 24-times forecast 2020 profits; the biggest stock in 1999, Microsoft, reached 60-times forward earnings at its peak. The chart aligns the Dec. 24, 2018 market low and the October 1998 bottom. If anything, this market today is fixated on the already-dominant companies with pred

Questions also remain over the direction of trade discussions between the U.S. and the European Union as the American trade front shifts to targets across the Atlantic. “Britain and the United States will now be free to strike a massive new trade deal after Brexit,” Trump said. Maybe as of a week ago or so, the reporting was that the U.K. was going to prioritize a U.S. trade deal as a way of gaining leverage with the EU. But then remarks that they made just, as of this morning, were that they’re

Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam on Saturday declared a virus emergency in the city of 7.3 million, extending school cancellations until Feb. 17 and canceling all official visits to mainland China.

A San Francisco startup named Nebia, backed by some of the biggest names in technology, released a $199 shower head this week. Nebia seems a lot like a technology company: Gabriel Parisi-Amon, its CEO and co-founder, wrangled iPhone parts in Apple’s supply chain before designing the shower head. The Nebia shower that head launched this week ships in May, is Moen-branded and costs $200. I was able to adjust the angle and height of the shower head, bringing it closer to my head for a hotter, more

Boeing’s 777X, part of a new generation of the wide-body aircraft, took off in its maiden flight — marking a milestone for the company struggling through the increasing fallout from two fatal crashes of its best-selling 737 Max.
