Tax-loss harvesting is a common year-end method used by investors and money managers to minimize taxes. The practice involves selling off losing positions to offset taxes on realized capital gains incurred on winning investments. To find the names worth selling, CNBC Pro used its stock-screening tool to hunt for names with a market cap exceeding $1 billion. The cloud platform company's stock has lost roughly 57% this year, with the average price target implying that shares could fall about 18%. Back in August, he slashed his price target to $5.50 from $8.50, noting that Fastly took "a meat cleaver to CY24 outlook."

☆ Vikings stay undefeated in Sam Darnold revenge game against Jets
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-06 | by ( Rohan Nadkarni | Rohan Nadkarni Is A Sports Reporter For Nbc News. | ) www.nbcnews.com time to read: +2 min

The Minnesota Vikings are still undefeated after a 23-17 win over the New York Jets in London. Quarterback Sam Darnold threw for 179 yards on Sunday against the team that drafted him first overall in 2018, but he was buoyed by a stellar performance from the Vikings defense. Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for 244 yards and two scores, but he was inefficient, completing only 29 of 54 attempts. Rodgers led a short, five-play, 31-yard drive in the final minute of the first half for a New York touchdown. But after leading the Jets into Minnesota territory, Rodgers threw his third interception of the day, ensuring a loss for New York.

Nguyen: With Aaron Rodgers’ age and their defense, the Jets have a small window to make some noise. In theory, Adams would also add some much-needed explosiveness to a Jets offense that entered this week ranked 29th in the NFL in total yards and 27th in points. The Bills’ defense also suffered losses in free agency, and holes went unfilled even though Buffalo’s top competitors in the AFC include elite offenses in Kansas City, Baltimore and Cincinnati. Watson isn’t just not playing well, he’s playing like one of the worst quarterbacks in the league. Maybe improved offensive production would help ease pressure on the Browns’ defense.

A van flows in floodwaters in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene on Sept. 28 in Asheville, North Carolina. States affected by Hurricane Helene are warning residents to watch for the risks of scams in the aftermath of the storm, including price gouging. Price gouging happens when there is an excessive increase in prices charged for goods and services, and it often happens during emergencies or disasters. Normal price fluctuations are not price gouging, South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson said in a recent announcement. The terms of established price gouging protections vary from state to state.

Members of the California Legislative Black Caucus heralded his signature on four bills, including an apology for the state’s role in promoting slavery. In his remarks, Newsom said the bill could not function without the accompanying Freedmen Affairs Agency, which would have been established by another one of Bradford’s bills. The centerpiece of Bradford’s reparations package was the Freedmen Affairs Agency, which would have overseen state reparations initiatives. By the final hours of the legislative session, dozens of protesters had gathered in the lobby of the Capitol to support Bradford’s bills. Jeff Chiu / AP fileOrganizer Chris Lodgson was another community leader who went to the Capitol to lobby for Bradford’s bills.

☆ Rupert Murdoch’s property group REA ends chase to buy Rightmove after multiple rejected offers
▼ + stars: | 2024-09-30 | by ( April Roach | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

LONDON — Rupert Murdoch's Australian property firm REA Group said Monday it would no longer seek to buy the U.K.'s Rightmove after the property portal rejected a fourth takeover proposal. "We were disappointed with the limited engagement from Rightmove that impeded our ability to make a firm offer within the timetable available. Rightmove, meanwhile, said Monday in a separate statement that its board unanimously rejected REA Group's fourth offer proposal on the grounds that it "materially undervalued Rightmove and its future prospects." REA Group, in which News Corp owns a more than 61% interest, operates a number of property websites in Australia, as well as several brands in India and the U.S. The company sold its real estate site PropertyFinder Group to Rightmove rival Zoopla in 2009, during the Global Financial Crisis.
