A 'Now Hiring' sign is displayed outside a resale clothing shop on Friday in Los Angeles, California. New York (CNN) — “Sell in May and go away” — shorthand for the idea that US stocks rise more between November and April than over the summer — is one of the most oft-repeated adages on Wall Street.

Analysis: For Heat, the team’s famed ‘culture’ all starts with Pat Riley

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:08:40 GMT

MIAMI (AP) — Maybe the best way to describe Heat Culture would be to consider two ways that Pat Riley has used to define what basically is the backbone of Miami’s franchise.Answer 1: “It’s a shared philosophy with the goal of being great.”Answer 2: “It’s our shared goals, shared vision, shared thoughts.”The first answer was from 2000. The second answer came in 2020. The thinking barely deviated.Times change. Rosters change. But Riley and the culture — a buzzword for the Heat, a punchline for some who disparage what the Heat have done — stay pretty much the same. Out of the last 52 NBA Finals, Riley has been part of 19 of them as either a player, coach or executive. That means, give or take, Riley finds his way to the finals about every three years.Erik Spoelstra is the coach and makes the decisions, but it’s Riley — the team president seeking his 10th championship — who is still at the helm of the Heat ship. The Heat are tied with the Denver Nuggets at a game apiece in these NBA Fin...

By MICHELLE CHAPMAN (AP Business Writer)NEW YORK (AP) — The Securities and Exchange Commission sued cryptocurrency platform Coinbase on Tuesday, charging the company with operating an unregistered securities platform and brokerage service.

LONDON (AP) — Prince Harry stepped into courtroom witness box Tuesday to hold Britain’s tabloid press accountable for its “destructive” role throughout his life.
