US stock bulls are taking heart from a range of market signals pointing to an upbeat year for Wall Street, as equities sit on impressive gains despite worries that the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy tightening may plunge the economy into a recession. Among these are equities’ positive January performance, a "golden cross" chart pattern on the S&P 500 and more stocks making new highs rather than new lows. Such signals are far from the only indicators market participants use to make investment decisions, and they are not foolproof. Weak outlooks for corporate heavyweights such as Amazon and Microsoft and a blowout employment number that heightened expectations for Fed hawkishness injected a fresh note of uncertainty into markets on Friday, though the S&P 500 remains up 7.7 percent year-to-date. However, steady improvements in gauges of momentum and sentiment in recent weeks reinforced the view among some investors that asset prices may be heading for a more benign … [Read more...] about Wall Street Week Ahead | Signals of market regaining momentum attract investors

People trying out different games at The Arena, Comic-Con, Bengaluru The year 2022 was a weird year for gaming. The industry continued to feel the lingering effects of the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic with slower hardware sales and major delays for upcoming AAA games. Here is a look at some of the gaming highlights of 2022. More buggy launches Unfortunately, major AAA releases continued the trend of messy launches with games like Calisto Protocol or Gotham Knights. The year began with the dullest of thuds in Babylon's Fall, a half-baked unfinished co-op experience that showed Square Enix has learned nothing from its previous live service disasters. What hurt even more is that it was developed by industry darlings Platinum Games. Electronic Arts continued to release yearly installments in the FIFA franchise, and like every year, it was mocked but still sold in the millions. Thankfully, EA no longer holds the license to FIFA anymore. Read More Unfortunately, EA … [Read more...] about Gaming in 2022: A year in review

It wasn't easy for Maura Horton to watch her husband, Don, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, struggle to dress himself. "You can't forget that humbling tone when someone is trying to tell you that they're no longer able to do something," she recalls. That tone became the inspiration for MagnaReady, a clothing startup that makes adaptive dress shirts with magnetic closures. The shirts are designed specifically for people with disabilities that cause them to lose mobility. On Tuesday, the company announced a partnership with PVH Corp., one of the world's largest apparel companies. PVH owns iconic brands like Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, and Van Heusen.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Investors were on edge at the start of the week as concerns mounted about the health of the stock market rally ahead of the FOMC meeting and earnings from four tech giants. Many think that the January move higher in stocks was just a bear market rally even though the S&P 500 gained an impressive 6.18% while the Nasdaq Composite rose 10.7%. Many Wall Street strategists , who on average looking for stocks to close below current levels in 2023, think a recession is inevitable and that earnings valuations are too high. Stocks reflected the nervousness on Monday as they had the largest drop of the month with the Nasdaq 100 losing 2.1%. Apple AAPL , Inc. (AAPL) and Microsoft MSFT (MSFT) led the decline. This reassured the stock market bears as Morgan Stanley commented “We think the recent price action is more a reflection of the seasonal January effect and short covering after a tough end to December and a … [Read more...] about Tech Rally Scares Bears, Should It?
