Spurs travel to Premier League champions Manchester City on Saturday reeling from a disappointing home loss to Ipswich before the international break. The club’s problems have multiplied during the past fortnight with midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur handed a seven-match domestic ban on Monday and Cristian Romero (toe) joining a lengthy list of absentees. However, Postecoglou remains bullish about Tottenham’s progress and acutely aware of the scrutiny set to come his way if they stay 10th. “Christmas is a joyous occasion, irrespective, and I think it should be celebrated. If we’re still 10th then people won’t be happy, I won’t be happy, but we might not be 10th,” Postecoglou pointed out before nine games in 30 days. “Certainly for us I think it’s a significant period because you look at those games and we’ve got the league where we’ve got to improve our position and a couple of important European fixtures that can set us up for the back half of the year, also a Carabao Cup quarter-final. “At the end of that period we could be in a decent position for a strong second half of the year, so for us it is an important period. “You know there’s no more international breaks, so the full focus is here. You can build some momentum through that, or if things don’t go well you could get yourself into a bit of a grind.

I take a wider perspective on these things because I know how fickle it can be, but we need to address our position for sure. “And if we’re 10th at Christmas, yeah it won’t be great. There’d be a lot of scrutiny and probably a lot of scrutiny around me, which is fair enough, but that’s not where I plan for us to be.” Tottenham’s immediate efforts to move up the table will require them ending City’s two-year unbeaten home run in the Premier League. The champions have lost their last four matches in all competitions, but have some key personnel back for Saturday’s clash and will aim to toast Pep Guardiola’s new contract with a victory. Postecoglou was pleased to see Guardiola commit to a further two seasons in England, adding: “I love the fact that there’s a massive target out there that can seem insurmountable. “I look at it the other way. I go, ‘imagine if you knock him off, that’d be something’. “I’m at the stage of my life where I’d rather have the chance of knocking him off than missing that opportunity. “When greatness is around, you want to be around it. And hopefully it challenges you to be like that as well.” Saturday’s fixture will be Postecoglou’s 50th league game in charge of Spurs and he knows what is required to bring up three figures. A post shared by Premier League (@premierleague) “No European football, significant player turnover, change of playing style. Where did I think we’d be after 50 games? God knows. “It could have been a whole lot worse, but when you look at it in the current prism of we’re 10th, you’re going ‘it doesn’t look good’ and I understand that and we have to improve that. “But over the 50 games, I think there’s enough there that shows we are progressing as a team and we are developing into the team we want. “The key is the next 50 games, if they can be in totality better than the first 50? First, that means I’m here but second, I think we’ll be in a good space.”Madikeri: Karnataka legislative council member Ivan D'Souza voiced his concern about the growing politics of hatred in the country, highlighting a decline in peace, tolerance, and coexistence. Speaking at the Christmas carol competition inauguration organised by the Roman Catholic Association Kodagu , Kushalnagar, and the Holy Family Temple at Kudige's Angela Educational Institution, the MLC emphasised that all religions advocate peace, love, and harmony. Despite comprising less than 3% of India's and Karnataka's population, the Christian community contributes significantly to healthcare and education, surpassing the combined efforts of other communities that make up 97%, he said. D'Souza acknowledged the state govt's initiatives to address Christian community's concerns. He praised Kodagu's community unity during the Christmas season, noting that festivals foster interfaith harmony. He encouraged the Christian community to prioritise their children's education. Dr Bernard Moras, apostolic administrator of the diocese of Mysore, expressed joy at the district's religious communities uniting for Christmas carol competitions celebrating arrival of Jesus. He wished for Jesus's presence in everyone's hearts and the prevalence of peace, love, and coexistence in society. Roman Catholic Association Kushalnagar Taluk president KA Peter chaired the event, and priests Charles Noronha and M Martin, along with sister Rekha of Angela Educational Institution, Kudige, were present.

So far in 2024, the S&P 500 index has gained an impressive 26% while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has soared roughly 28%. Without a doubt, one of the biggest tailwinds fueling these market returns is artificial intelligence (AI). Among AI's hottest stocks through 2024 are data analytics company Palantir Technologies ( PLTR -1.03% ) and semiconductor leader Nvidia ( NVDA 0.28% ) . Both companies have handily topped the markets this year -- with shares of Palantir rocketing by 291% while Nvidia has gained about 179% (as of market close Nov. 29). With Palantir and Nvidia looking like two of the AI realm's most dominant forces, would you be surprised to learn that some of Wall Street's brightest minds are only buying one of these stocks right now? Below, I'll outline moves made by some of the most prestigious hedge funds and detail why I think these decisions could make a lot of sense. How is Wall Street investing in Palantir and Nvidia? Thanks to an incredibly helpful tool called the form 13F , everyday investors can get a glimpse into what stocks large institutional investors are buying and selling. Below, I've quantified the buys and sells between Palantir and Nvidia stock among two notable hedge fund managers during the third quarter: Ken Griffin (Citadel Advisors) : In the September-ended quarter, Ken Griffin's Citadel Advisors sold 5,172,681 shares of Palantir -- reducing the fund's exposure by 91% in the process . At the same time, Griffin and his constituents increased Citadel's stake in Nvidia by 194% -- adding over 4.7 million shares. David Shaw (D.E. Shaw) : Another hedge fund that trimmed its stake in Palantir during the third quarter was D.E. Shaw, which sold 8.7 million shares of the software giant and reduced its position by 45%. Similar to Citadel, D.E. Shaw increased its exposure in Nvidia by more than 50%, buying nearly 6 million shares in the quarter. Let's dig into what may have influenced the decisions to trim Palantir while adding Nvidia over the last few months. Why sell Palantir right now? In April 2023, Palantir launched its fourth major software suite -- the Palantir Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP). The advent of AIP has catapulted Palantir into the forefront of the AI narrative, helping the company accelerate revenue across both the commercial and public sectors, all while achieving notable margin expansion and consistent profitability. While Palantir's current rate of growth and future outlook are impressive , there is one obvious reason to sell the stock right now: valuation. PLTR PS Ratio data by YCharts As of the time of this writing, Palantir is trading at a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 61. As the chart above illustrates, the company has experienced notable valuation expansion throughout 2024 and has emerged as one of the priciest software-as-a-service (SaaS) stocks among its peers. To put it plainly, there is a really good argument to be made that Palantir stock is overbought. Given how much momentum shares have witnessed in such short order, I can't blame the teams at Citadel and D.E. Shaw for reducing their exposure. The stock has had a historic run, and now appears to be a logical opportunity to lock in some profits. Why buy Nvidia right now? Nvidia is one of the most important pillars supporting the entire AI ecosystem right now. The company's chip sets, known as graphics processing units (GPUs), are perhaps the most coveted piece of infrastructure for generative AI development. In my eyes, the two most obvious catalysts fueling Nvidia's bull case thesis over the next few years are rising investment in AI-related infrastructure combined with the upcoming launch of the company's next generation GPU architecture, Blackwell. Similar to why I think investors are selling Palantir, the primary reason influencing the decisions to buy Nvidia could be valuation. NVDA PE Ratio data by YCharts While Nvidia's valuation isn't cheap per se, the company's current price-to-earnings (P/E) and price-to-free-cash-flow (P/FCF) multiples are trading relatively in line with 10-year averages. Given Nvidia is a much larger entity today than it was a decade ago, coupled with its strong position to continue acquiring incremental market share as demand for AI infrastructure continues to soar, investors could argue that Nvidia is actually undervalued -- making it a particularly compelling buy and hold at the moment. The bottom line While I understand the decision to sell Palantir and buy Nvidia right now, I can't say for certain what drove the decisions of the portfolio managers that I mentioned in this piece. As I've written in many other articles, I think competition in the GPU space is going to eat into Nvidia's growth sooner rather than later. For that reason, I haven't entirely bought into the notion that Nvidia's valuation is actually all that reasonable. While I own shares in both Palantir and Nvidia, I won't be adding to either position at their respective prices.

Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:OXY) Shares Up 1.3% Following Analyst UpgradeHer fiance Jake Ankers announced on social media that a group of men carrying a machete entered their home on Thursday evening while they were in the house with their two-year-old daughter. Crosby, who is nearly eight months pregnant, thanked those who have sent their support to the couple in an Instagram Story post on Saturday. The reality TV star, 34, wrote: “I’m typing this I’m laid in hospital. Baby is all fine, thank you for all the messages!” She added: “This month has had misfortune after misfortune. I want to thank you all for your kind messages about the break-in the other night. “Still something I’m really struggling to come to terms with.” Ankers also posted a photo of Crosby lying in a hospital bed to his Instagram Story, saying she had been “rushed in to hospital” as the TV star had been experiencing “serious pains in her stomach”. The businessman thanked their followers for reaching out and their local community for being “fantastic” since the burglary attempt. Ankers, who appeared with the reality star on BBC Three reality show Charlotte In Sunderland, previously said the thieves “tried to rob my house with my two-year-old and my partner who is nearly eight months pregnant, armed with a machete”. He said one of the four men “had a red balaclava on” and was carrying the weapon at the top of the stairs. Durham Constabulary were alerted at 7pm on Thursday to reports of an aggravated burglary in Houghton-le-Spring, a town in the Sunderland area. A spokeswoman for the force said: “Officers attended the area however the suspects left the scene before their arrival. “Nobody was injured in the incident and no items are believed to have been taken.” She added that an investigation is under way and anyone with information is asked to contact police. Crosby is best known for appearing in the MTV reality series Geordie Shore and winning the 12th series of Celebrity Big Brother in 2013. She and Ankers got engaged in October 2023 after she gave birth to their first child in 2022.Jordan Schultz mentioned on The Herd that it will be “extremely difficult” for the Vikings to retain QB Sam Darnold . Schultz believes Darnold could end up securing a similar contract to the three-year, $100 million deal Baker Mayfield signed with the Buccaneers that included $50 million guaranteed. As for the Vikings’ plans at quarterback moving forward, Schultz thinks it’s “very realistic” Minnesota re-signs Daniel Jones and pairs him with first-round QB J.J. McCarthy, who is working his way back from a torn ACL. Darnold has played well enough this year to be one of the best available free agents next March and there could be a number of teams in the market for help at the position. Given the investment already made in McCarthy, it makes some sense for them to keep Jones at a more affordable price in case McCarthy struggles or gets hurt. The other benefit is that this would allow the Vikings to potentially collect a good compensatory pick in 2026, assuming they don’t sign any free agents who would cancel that out. Darnold, 26, is a former first-round pick of the Jets back in 2018. He was in the final year of a four-year, $30.370 million rookie contract when he was traded to the Panthers. Carolina exercised Darnold’s fifth-year option for 2022 after acquiring him from New York. He made a base salary of $18.858 million in 2022 under the option. Darnold was an unrestricted free agent for the first time this offseason when he signed a one-year, $4.5 million deal with the 49ers. He joined the Vikings this past offseason on another one-year deal. In 2024, Sam Darnold has appeared in 12 games for the Vikings and completed 67.6 percent of his passes for 2,952 yards, 23 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.

Santos scores 24, Dayton defeats Lehigh 86-62No. 22 St. John's, Georgia pack busy schedule with game on SundayQ3 2024 Global Semiconductor Equipment Billings Grew 19% Year-Over-Year, SEMI ReportsPolymarket showed a heightened chance that President Joe Biden would pardon President-elect Donald Trump . Following Biden's pardon to his son Hunter, the odds for the president to pardon his former Republican opponent have improved. The prediction market platform on Monday reflected an 8 percent chance for Biden to issue a pardon to Trump. Independent Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia has also called for Biden to "wipe" away Trump's charges. Newsweek reached out to Biden's press team as well as Steven Cheung, communications director and senior adviser for Trump. On Sunday, when Biden issued the pardon to Hunter, Trump's odds for a pardon from Biden rose on Polymarket to 10 percent from 4 percent the day before. The market showed a spike on one other day previously. On Election Day, November 5, there was a 15 percent chance of a pardon, according to Polymarket. The president gave his son, Hunter, a full and unconditional pardon on Sunday following his two federal gun and tax evasion convictions. The cases stem from Hunter's previous struggles with substance abuse until he became sober in 2019. Hunter, son of the president and his first wife Neilia Hunter Biden , was found guilty in June of three felonies related to the purchase of a .38-caliber revolver in Wilmington, Delaware, in 2018. Prosecutors said that Hunter falsely asserted on the gun purchase form for the firearm that he was not using or addicted to drugs After deliberations, the jury found Hunter guilty of lying to a federally licensed gun dealer, making a false claim on the application by saying he was not a drug user and illegally having the gun for 11 days. In a separate case in California, Hunter was accused of failing to pay $1.4 million in taxes from 2016 to 2019. He also was accused of filing false returns for the 2018 tax year. The indictment said that Hunter failed to pay his taxes while spending money "on drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature." "I have admitted and taken responsibility for my mistakes during the darkest days of my addiction—mistakes that have been exploited to publicly humiliate and shame me and my family for political sport," Hunter wrote in a statement. "Despite all of this, I have maintained my sobriety for more than five years because of my deep faith and the unwavering love and support of my family and friends. In his White House statement, President Biden said he was pardoning his son because it was clear he had been "selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted" and that the cases had been "infected" by "raw politics." "Without aggravating factors like use in a crime, multiple purchases, or buying a weapon as a straw purchaser, people are almost never brought to trial on felony charges solely for how they filled out a gun form," the president said in a statement. "Those who were late paying their taxes because of serious addictions, but paid them back subsequently with interest and penalties, are typically given non-criminal resolutions. It is clear that Hunter was treated differently." President Biden added that the charges in Hunter's case were leveled after his "political opponents in Congress " instigated them to "attack him" and "oppose" his election. Now, people like Manchin are calling for Biden to give Trump the same favor. Trump has been convicted of 34 counts of falsification of business records in the first degree, a felony in New York. He pleaded not guilty when arraigned last year. The convictions stem from a $130,000 "hush money" payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels just days before the 2016 election. Manchin called for Biden to "just clean that slate" rather than "going through all these court cases." "I am just saying, wipe them out" Manchin told CNN . "Why don't you go ahead and pardon Donald Trump for all his charges and make it, you know, it would have gone down a lot more balanced, if you will."
