GameStop (NYSE:GME) shareholders: Do you feel lucky? The brick-and-mortar video game retailer currently trades at a ridiculously low price-to-earnings ratio of 4.5 times next year's estimated earnings, with a dividend yield over 10%. A valuation that low is usually ominous, suggesting investors believe GameStop's earnings will rapidly decline in the coming years.

There's reason to be nervous. GameStop is facing the daunting prospect of remaining a brick-and-mortar retailer of physical video games, in an age in which traffic is migrating online and more games are being released in downloadable formats. There isn't really a great solution to the problem and the company announced in mid-June that it is "in exploratory discussions with third parties regarding a potential transaction." Leading up to that announcement, But GameStop's strategy seems to have been to prudently decrease its store footprint, while also diversifying into non-video game products.

In early June, GameStop unveiled its newest attempt at diversification, announcing it would begin selling comic books in a 40-store trial.

If you hit the $750 million Powerball jackpot, here's your tax bill

The Powerball jackpot just won't quit.

After no one hit all winning numbers in Saturday night's drawing, the top prize has jumped to a whopping $750 million. And while players daydream about what they'd do with such a windfall, they should remember they wouldn't really end up with the advertised amount.

Whether you take the prize as an annuity spread out over three decades or as an immediate, reduced lump sum, 24 percent of your win is withheld for federal taxes. Yet the top marginal tax rate of 37 percent means you'd owe a lot more at tax time. And state taxes typically are due as well.

"The big impact on winnings is taxes," said certified financial planner Dan Routh, a wealth advisor at Exencial Wealth Advisors in Oklahoma City. "If you win, just realize how big the tax bill can be and make sure you're ready to handle it."

The Powerball jackpot, which now marks the fourth-largest U.S. lottery prize ever, has been climbing since late December with twice-weekly drawings yielding no top-prize winner. It's little wonder — your chance of matching all six numbers is about 1 in 292 million.

For Wednesday night's drawing, the cash option — which most winners go with — is $465.5 million. The 24 percent federal withholding would reduce that amount by $111.7 million.

Assuming you had no reduction to your taxable income, another 13 percent, or $60.5 million, would be due to the IRS. That's $172.2 million in all going to Uncle Sam.

After federal taxes, you'd be left with $293.3 million. Then there are state taxes, which range from zero to more than 8 percent depending on where the ticket was purchased and where the winner lives.

In other words, you could end up paying more than 45 percent in taxes.

Given the sheer size of the jackpot, experts say it would be crucial to assemble a team of experienced professionals to help navigate the windfall: an attorney, a tax advisor and a financial advisor.

"There's a big responsibility that goes with having such a large sum of money," Routh said. "It would be important to surround yourself with a quality team that's working in your best interest."

What the Fed could do about interest rates

With the Federal Reserve in wait-and-see mode, its announcement on interest rates Wednesday will provide less drama than previous Fed moves the past couple of years, including a December rate hike that roiled markets.

But its statement at 2 p.m. ET after a two-day meeting could shed some light on just how long Fed policymakers are prepared to hit the pause button. That message could move markets and provide a clearer picture of where rates are headed for credit cards, adjustable-rate mortgages and auto loans.

With the economic outlook growing cloudier in recent months, the Fed is virtually certain to hold rates steady, breaking from its pattern of hiking rates at every other meeting since December 2017. The big questions are: How many, if any, rate hikes do policymakers expect this year, and when do they plan to stop shrinking the Fed's balance sheet, an issue that could affect long-term rates.

The rate hike forecast, in particular, "it's going to grab the attention" of investors, says economist Kathy Bostjancic of Oxford Economics.

Here's a breakdown:

Where rates are headed

In December, the Fed lifted its key rate by a quarter percentage point for the fourth time in 2018 to a range of 2.25 to 2.5 percent. Fed officials also downgraded their forecast to two rate increases this year from three.

Yet stocks plunged because investors believed the Fed should hold off on any rate hikes amid a slowing global economy, the U.S. trade fight with China and the fading effects of federal tax cuts and spending increases that juiced growth in 2018.

Fed policymakers promptly reversed course and promised "patience" on future hikes in public appearances and after a January meeting, noting the market selloff itself had battered consumer and business confidence, and that inflation had remained muted.

As a result, markets broadly have rallied but the economic picture is still mixed. Morgan Stanley and Oxford Economics believe Fed officials Wednesday will predict one rate hike this year and another in 2020, based on their median estimate. But JPMorgan Chase figures policymakers will forecast no rate increases this year, a projection that likely would push stocks higher. Capital Economics reckons the Fed's next move will be rate cuts in 2020 as the economy wobbles.

Fed's view of the economy

Economists generally agree the Fed will lower its forecast amid the sputtering global economy and a federal stimulus that's likely to peter out by the end of the year. Morgan Stanley estimates the Fed will revise down its estimate for economic growth this year to 2 percent from 2.3 percent in December but nudge up its 2020 forecast to 2.1 percent from 2 percent.

With growth slowing a bit, the firm expects the Fed to project that unemployment, now 3.8 percent, will drop to 3.6 percent by year-end, up from its 3.5 percent estimate in December. It expects the Fed to maintain its forecast for core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy items, at 2 percent this year, right at the Fed's target level. JPMorgan expects a cut to 1.9 percent.

The disparate views mirror an economy that has provided conflicting signals. Retail sales fell sharply in December and only partly rebounded in January. Manufacturing has softened substantially amid the overseas troubles while the service sector has strengthened. Meanwhile, the labor market has been healthy but employers added just 20,000 jobs in February – a poor showing that largely has been chalked up to weather effects but may also reflect a slowdown in hiring.

While the government shutdown likely damped growth early this year, a rebound is expected in the second quarter.

Less balance sheet shrinkage

Since summer 2017, the Fed gradually had been shedding the $3.5 trillion in Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities that it purchased after the financial crisis to lower long-term rates and spur growth. As a result, the Fed's total asset portfolio has fallen to $3.9 trillion from a peak of $4.5 trillion.

Rather than sell the bonds, the Fed largely has stopped reinvesting their proceeds as they mature. As much as $50 billion a month in assets have rolled off its balance sheet, draining that amount of cash from the banking system and putting some upward pressure on long-term rates.

But amid the market turbulence in December, Fed officials suggested they would likely stop reducing the balance sheet when it reaches about $3.5 trillion, more than the $2.5 trillion to $3 trillion previously anticipated. Many economists expect the Fed on Wednesday to formally announce when the balance sheet runoff will end, most likely in the second half of the year.

A relatively early end that stops rolling off bonds immediately, rather than gradually, could translate to slightly lower long-term interest rates that bolster the economy and markets.

Tesla's Model Y is coming. What should you expect?

Tesla CEO Elon Musk will unveil the automaker's newest electric vehicle at an event Thursday night in the Los Angeles area.

The Model Y will make its debut as questions swirl regarding the SUV's design, tech features, exact timing and pricing.

Tesla must deliver a functional interior and improved reliability to appeal to pragmatic, family-oriented compact SUV buyers, said Jessica Caldwell, an analyst at car-buying advice site Edmunds.

"This is not a sports-car segment," Caldwell said. "These are not young Tesla enthusiasts thinking this is my way into a Tesla. Will it have smart packaging on the interior that will actually work for families?"

Karl Brauer, executive publisher of Cox Automotive's Kelley Blue Book and Autotrader, said "the clock is ticking" for Tesla to deliver a compelling product because competitors are rapidly catching up. That makes it critical for the company to pull off the Model Y launch without a hitch.

"Every day that goes by, it's less interesting for any single (electric) SUV to hit the market than what was a day before, and that include Teslas," Brauer said. 

Tesla's Model Y is coming: But has this Model 3 owner's yearning been fulfilled?

Here are five key things to expect from the Model Y:

It could be Tesla's best-seller yet

Americans are having a love affair with SUVs and crossovers, and the Model Y size is expected to line up with the popular compact SUV subsegment.

Compact passenger cars are actually declining in popularity, which is partly why it was surprising that Musk chose the category for the automaker's first mass-market vehicle, the Model 3.

Musk has estimated that Model Y demand could be anywhere from 50 percent more or even double that of the Model 3.

Brauer agreed that Model Y sales will likely eventually top the Model 3.

Higher cost, less battery range

"Model Y, being an SUV, is about 10% bigger than Model 3, so will cost about 10% more & have slightly less range for same battery," Musk said on Twitter on March 3.

The basic version of the Model 3 starts at $35,000, but most buyers have paid well over $40,000 and some have paid more than $50,000 for vehicles with more options.

The starting price for the Model Y likely will approach $40,000, Brauer and Caldwell said. And many buyers will likely pay $50,000 or more, they predicted.

"There will be a lot of questions about the price," Caldwell said. "Not only are we looking for a pricing announcement but some assurance that they're actually going to offer that vehicle at that price."

You won't be able to get one for a while

If history is any guide, Tesla will likely begin accepting online orders soon after Thursday night's event, if not immediately after. But that doesn't mean you should expect to drive one anytime soon.

Musk has said that production will begin slowly in early 2020 and hit high volumes by late 2020. But Tesla has repeatedly missed production goals in the past.

"They need to confirm that the car has a realistic timeline that they can meet," Brauer said. "This would be a good time to not overpromise and underdeliver."

It's a lot like the Model 3

The Model Y is based on the same architectural platform as the Model 3.

That allows Tesla to save costs by using about 75 percent of the same parts, Musk told investors in January.

Assembled in Reno?

That's an unusual place to manufacture vehicles. Most U.S.-assembled cars are made in the Midwest or the South, with the notable exception of the Tesla Model S, Model X and Model 3 vehicles made in Fremont, California.

The automaker has said it will likely make the Model Y at its battery factory in Nevada, where it continues to expand production. But that will require a major investment in assembly line equipment and employee training to get started.

"Batteries and powertrains will come out and go straight into the vehicle," Musk said in January. "So that also reduces our risk of execution and reduces the cost of having to transfer parts from California to Nevada. It's not a for-sure thing, but it's quite likely, and it's our default plan."
