TipRanks2 “Strong Buy” Dividend Stocks Yielding at Least 7%A number of factors are coming together in the market picture, and indicate a possible change in conditions in the mid-term. These include increases in commodity prices, specifically, oil prices, which have rallied recently. In addition, the January jobs numbers, released earlier this month, were disappointing at best – and grim, at worst. They, do, however, increase the chance that President Biden and the Democratic Congress will push a large-scale COVID relief package through to fruition. These factors are likely to pull in varying directions. The rise in oil prices suggests an upcoming squeeze in supply, while the possibility of further stimulus cash bodes well for fans of market liquidity. These developments, however, point toward a possible price reflationary climate. Against this backdrop, some investors are looking for ways to rebuild and defend their portfolios. And that will bring us to dividends. By providing a steady income stream, no matter what the market conditions, a reliable dividend stock provides a pad for your investment portfolio when the share stop appreciating. And so, we’ve opened up the TipRanks database and pulled the details on two stocks with high yields – at least 7%.…

ROME (Reuters) - Italy's competition watchdog said on Wednesday it had fined Facebook 7 million euros ($8.5 million) for not complying with a request by the regulator to correct improper commercial practices in the group's treatment of user data. Facebook was not immediately available for comment. In November 2018, the antitrust body ruled that Facebook had not informed users properly about its collection and use of data. It fined the U.S. company 5 million euros ($5.5 million) and asked it to publish an amended statement on the homepage of its website for Italy, on the Facebook app and on the personal page of each registered Italian user. "The current investigation has proved that ...(the company has) not published the amended statement and has not stopped the established unfair practice," the regulator said in its statement. Given the economic value of the data for Facebook, it said users should be put in a position to decide whether it should be used.

The Big Issue has teamed up with LinkedIn to support the magazine’s sellers whose livelihoods have been hit by the Covid-19 pandemic.The campaign, created by FCB Inferno, will use LinkedIn’s network to offer support, such as training, skills development or new job opportunities, to The Big Issue vendors. The partnership will give the participants access to a professional platform and aim to help them increase their sales amid the Covid crisis. Sellers of The Big Issue run their own micro-businesses by buying copies of the magazine for £1.50 each and selling them to the public for £3, through a scheme allowing those from disadvantaged backgrounds to earn a legitimate income. But during the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, many have been unable to make a living this way. Nine vendors are taking part in the pilot scheme with LinkedIn, with The Big Issue aiming to add more people to the programme throughout the year.  Through the partnership, the sellers have received specialist training from LinkedIn volunteers to help them build their confidence and reach an online customer base, engage with a wider community and find additional opportunities. They have also been taught best practices for disseminating news and stories from the magazine, and received tablets donated…

I’m terribly upset that my Telegram crusade kicked off after the whole WhatsApp privacy debacle. The fact of the matter is, I was moving across regardless. Mainly because of the endless list of benefits Telegram has over WhatsApp, but also very much because of the Latent WhatsApp Anxiety (LWA) I was experiencing.LWA will soon be a globally recognised medical condition that you yourself are more than likely suffering from. It’s linked to the biggest problem you face with WhatsApp, and something I have been appealing to my friends (those who haven’t seen the light) to consider, as I request they only contact me on Telegram.You see, WhatsApp (and Signal, for that matter) is single-device based. In other words, if you lose or break your phone, there is absolutely no way to get to your WhatsApp chats. This is completely unacceptable in the year 2021.Oh, but it’s ‘end-to-end encrypted’? Exactly why is everyone so obsessed with end-to-end encryption? Are you a spy? And then you go and back it all up in the cloud anyway 😆 do me a favour!And if you do have WhatsApp backed up to the cloud (which you do – in iCloud or Google Drive), the…
