MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Defense has been far more of an afterthought than an asset over the checkered history of the Minnesota Timberwolves, who have the second-fewest wins in the NBA since their entry 35 years ago and have advanced out of the first round of the playoffs only once. This has been quite the season of transformation for the Timberwolves, an improvement that started over the summer with Rudy Gobert. The success of their defense is rooted in his 7-foot-2 presence, too. “There’s a differen

TORONTO — Canada's main stock index closed up nearly 100 points Friday, helped by strength in energy and financial stocks, while U.S. markets were mixed. Markets diverged as investors pulled away from risk-on bets like tech stocks and favoured dividend and low-volatility stocks, said Ian Chong, portfolio manager at First Avenue Investment Counsel. "That risk-off is largely driven by geopolitical risks flaring up again." Israel's strike on Iran overnight raised tensions, which eased Friday but st

Iowa men who were victims of child sexual molestation while they were in the Boy Scouts of America could get higher legal compensation under a bill approved Friday by lawmakers and expected to be signed by the governor, just before the deadline to do so will expire. The retroactive measure, which would waive the statute of limitations for victims filing a civil claim as part of the Boy Scouts of America bankruptcy settlement, would take effect after Gov. Kim Reynolds signs it. The Boy Scouts filed for bankruptcy protection in 2020 as it faced hundreds of lawsuits filed by men alleging they had been sexually abused as children by their Scout leaders and volunteers.

Consumers are becoming increasingly cost-conscious amid inflation persisting through early 2024. Stephens Research Analyst Jim Salera joins Market Domination to discuss which restaurant stocks are best positioned to navigate the challenging environment. Salera finds that at the higher end of the consumer spectrum, spending patterns are "pushing forward" amid inflationary pressures, with little change in consumer behavior. However, for consumers at the lower end of the spectrum, he observes that they are being "much more deliberate" about their spending. For investors evaluating restaurant stocks, Salera emphasizes the importance of identifying "which restaurants are differentiated from the crowd." He highlights names like Chipotle (CMG) and Wingstop (WING), which have demonstrated "very strong traffic trends," as examples of differentiated offerings. With the risk of consumers potentially "trading out" for better value options, Salera stresses that "it's very important [for restaurants] to have a unique value proposition that the consumer can really identify with to retain that traffic."
