The final month of the year is typically a good month for the stock market. The S & P 500 could rise to about 6,081, from where it closed last week at 6,032.38. That means the S & P 500 would top 6,100, according to Johnson, who sees small-cap and midcap stocks as primary beneficiaries of the broadening rally. This means the S & P 500 could end the year around 6,140. On average, the S & P 500 gains 1.6% during this period.

☆ Bitcoin bounces back above $95,000 as investors eye $100,000 milestone heading into Thanksgiving holiday
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-27 | by ( Tanaya Macheel | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Bitcoin on Wednesday climbed back above $95,000, recovering slightly from a pullback this week that knocked it from record levels. The broader crypto market, as measured by the CoinDesk 20 index, gained 5%. Although bitcoin is widely viewed as a store of value and a digital alternative to gold, the cryptocurrency often trades in tandem with the stock market. "The bitcoin bull market has legs," Alex Thorn, head of firmwide research at Galaxy Digital, said in a report Wednesday. Bitcoin is up 124% for the year and is still widely expected to reach the $100,000 milestone before the year is over.

The Army is doing what it can to make it easier for its football team and the man in charge. As he watched his very first practice as athletic director, Buddie saw his football coach picking up errant wrappers on the field. The Army football team wakes up before sunrise and leaves the practice field after dark, unbeaten and almost too busy to notice anyone noticing. Army coach Jeff Monken, 57, is the second-winningest coach in program history. And Jeff Monken is still the Army football coach.

In today's big story, all eyes are on Nvidia's earnings report after the bell and what it says about the chip giant's future. As the world's top provider of AI chips, demand for Blackwell is a bellwether for the industry's appetite for continued investment in AI.

Barclays trimmed earning estimates next year by as much as 10% for some of the biggest buyers of AI chips, like Meta, Amazon, and Alphabet.

Booking these flights can take quite a bit of researchPlaying with positioning flights isn't for the faint of heart.

Our NFL writers addressed these topics and more in making one prediction for every team heading into the season’s second half. The fourth-year back is on pace to finish with 1,256 yards, which would be the fourth-highest total in team history. Every other NFL team has put a player in at least one of those categories during that stretch — and most teams have checked both boxes. Minnesota has one of the most productive defenses in the NFL and an offense loaded at the skill positions. And the Eagles have managed to win games despite bad luck and bad decisions.

The modern 40 means having toddlers running around, buying your first home, and, at last, catching up on retirement savings. "By the time you're 40, 45, you can't sing, and you can't play guitar; maybe it's time to give up on your aspirations of being a rock star." At work, you realize you're protected from age discrimination, which you feel like you're still much too young for. When we're young, we're happy — and then that declines, bottoming out in middle age, about 40 to 50. The question isn't just whether my 40 will look like my parents' 40 — it's also whether it will look like the 40 of everyone from my high school.

As the garbage came down, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian and then other members of the Texas team walked to the corner of the end zone waving their hands and asking students to stop. They were unable to go sideline-to-sideline or downhill as Georgia met Texas with force every step of the way. The second half got dicey, with Georgia giving up two touchdowns on relatively short fields, one after the controversial interception/overturned pass interference, the other after Georgia for some reason squib-kicked the second half kickoff. In the second half, Ewers returned and led a touchdown drive to open the third quarter. Mykel Williams forced a second Ewers fumble with 10:23 left in the game, thwarting a Texas drive in Georgia territory.

Recent hiccups for Nvidia could be the start of broader weakness for the artificial intelligence boom, and investors should consider dialing back their exposure to the stock, according to one small equity research shop. But last quarter sequential growth slowed again and now I'm concerned that it can continue to slow in Q3 and Q4. Elazar is not completely alone in being skeptical of Nvidia, but it's definitely a contrarian stance. Of the 64 analysts tracked by LSEG, 58 have buy or strong buy ratings on Nvidia, with the remaining six having hold ratings. Nvidia's stock is up 700% since the start of 2023, so being bullish has been the right call for Wall Street analysts.

Reinhard parted ways with previous ad sales leader Peter Naylor in July, in Netflix's second ads leadership shake-up in two years. To get a sense of how Reinhard is approaching the hire, Business Insider spoke with 11 people who had inside knowledge about the search or who are close to Netflix's ad business. Others with those credentials who some insiders think could be in the mix include Pooja Midha, EVP and GM for Effectv, the ad sales arm of Comcast's cable division. "They view ad sales as having a lack of rigor and discipline," the first person who'd had conversations with Netflix said. Netflix also shook up its ad sales leadership twice, with its first ads leader Jeremi Gorman being replaced after a year, and then with Naylor's recent exit.
