February Could Be Rough For Stocks

... governing versus all the good feelings prior.". Wall Street's retrenchment so far this week, with two straight 100-point-plus losses for the Dow illustrates how investors can reassess the potential impact that a president's policy decisions can have on the outlook for the economy and stocks. Trump's controversial decision to ban refugees and immigrants from Muslim-majority countries, for example, has raised fears that some of his policies will actually hurt the economy by taking his focus off moves like lowering the corporate tax rate, rolling back regulations and pushing through fiscal spending that are viewed as more market friendly. "Could Trump's 'ready, fire, aim' management style and. his contentious policy directives endanger the U. S. economy?" Bernard Baumohl, chief global economist at The Economic Outlook Group, wondered in a report to clients. The stock market's recent struggles come at a time when it is expensive relative to history and, therefore, prone to ...

7 February Games You Should Get Excited About

... need to accomplish them. The upcoming game embraces the successes of Sniper Elite 3, and it looks like it'll be a better game for it. Available for Play Station 4, Windows, and Xbox One. Halo Wars 2 (Feb. 21). Real-time strategy games aren't supposed to work well on consoles. So Total War developer Creative Assembly said "screw that!" (probably not a direct quote) and made one anyway. It's set in the Halo universe, but instead of operating as a one-space-marine-army you command the entire army, space marines and all. Between the canon Halo story and the inventive Blitz multiplayer mode — which combines card-collecting with RTS — there's a lot to like about this one. Available for Windows and Xbox One. Horizon: Zero Dawn (Feb. 28). This is an open world RPG in which you hunt robot dinosaurs. Do you really need to know more than that? You play as a badass she-warrior named Aloy. The setting is a distant future version of Earth where ...

Wizards Could Stay Hot With Home-heavy February Schedule

... back-to-back. After leading the league in offensive efficiency through mid-January , the Raptors have been a bottom-five offensive team over the last two weeks (with De Mar De Rozan missing four of the last five games). Their February schedule could help them recover a bit, as they play seven of their 11 games against bottom 10 defenses. The LA Clippers will be without point guard Chris Paul for all of February (unless his return comes earlier than his 6-8 week timetable - starting Jan. 17 - projects). They do have Blake Griffin back, but are 0-2 with since Griffin's return and 3-9 in their 12 games without Paul. As Griffin gets his legs back, the Clippers should get better. But their schedule over the next four weeks isn't going to help them turn that 3-9, Paul-less record around. When you take opponent strength, location and rest into account, the Clippers have the league's toughest February schedule by a pretty wide margin. Seven of their 11 February games are against teams currently over.500 and six of those are against the eight teams currently over.600. After losing to the Golden State Warriors by 46 points ...

February 2, 2017

... Read More. Last March, then-President Barack Obama, a Democrat, nominated a U. S. Appeals Court judge named Merrick Garland to replace Justice Scalia. But Republicans who controlled the Senate argued that the next U. S. president should appoint Scalia's replacement. And they did not give Judge Garland a hearing. With the new U. S. leader now in place, a new nominee has been named. Tuesday night, President Donald Trump announced that Neil Gorsuch, a U. S. Appeals Court judge, was his pick to fill Scalia's seat on the high court. The 49-year-old Judge Gorsuch is considered to be a conservative jurist, like Scalia. The nominee studied at Columbia, Harvard and Oxford Universities and President Trump says his qualifications are beyond dispute. But House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi described Gorsuch as a hostile appointment, who's outside the American mainstream. Experts say Gorsuch is still likely to join the Supreme Court bench. His Senate confirmation hearings are set to begin in six weeks. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE). JEFFREY TOOBIN, CNN SENIOR LEGAL ANALYST: ...
