Marcus Smart calls himself Lakers Swiss Army knife after Game 1

When the Los Angeles Lakers signed Marcus Smart this past summer after his previous contract had been bought out, plenty of people were skeptical that he would make a difference. He was coming off a couple of injury-riddled seasons, and the sense was that he was in definite decline, especially on the defensive end.
But the 32-year-old has been the Lakers' X-factor this season, not just on defense but in multiple other facets of the game. In their playoff opener on Saturday against the Houston Rockets, he scored

This Trash‑Hauling Giant Could Be the Only Industrial Stock I'd Buy and Never Sell

Industrial stocks tend to be very cyclical. Their revenues and stock prices typically rise during an economic expansion and fall during a recession. That cyclicality makes them more difficult to buy and hold long-term, since it often makes sense to sell when the economy appears to be nearing a cyclical peak.
However, garbage collection tends to be a relatively resilient business. That's why trash-hauling giant WM (NYSE: WM) might be the only industrial stock I buy and hold forever.

Winning the war in Ukraine is about more than just numbers

A common question the media asks is how much money Russia has left to sustain the war against Ukraine. In response, experts discuss the burgeoning budget deficit, high interest rates, anemic investment and the fact that war costs have caused sharp reductions in public sector salaries, pensions, health and education.
Everyone is waiting for a gamechanger that hasn’t arrived yet. The recent increase in the global oil price offers only marginal benefit to Russia, since 20 to 40 percent of its oil export capacity has been rendered at l

Jesse Minter's Big Risk: Ravens Are One Of Two Staffs In NFL With No HC Experience

4 ways Trump has suggested the Strait of Hormuz could be reopened — and why they're a tough lift

President Donald Trump made clear Tuesday that the fate of the Iranian people — and their civilization — is in his hands as he threatens to bomb them back to the “stone ages.”

India's high-growth economy gets a Middle East oil shock

It wasn't too long ago that India's central bank, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), described the country's high growth-low inflation environment as a "Goldilocks" moment.
But that optimism has proved ephemeral as the ongoing war in the Middle East and the accompanying disruption to oil markets gives its world-beating growth story an unexpected jolt.
The impact is most starkly visible on the Indian currency, which has hit record lows and is down nearly 10% against the US dollar in the last year.
