Schneider to acquire Cowan Systems for $390 millionIf you’re like me, you’re probably still stuffed from all of the turkey and sides from Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday. So, in today’s Market 360, I want to take it easy, so to speak and talk about how I find the very best stocks in the market. I’ll share how my system has led me to take profits in a stock before it goes down. And most importantly, I want to tell you about a few overrated stocks that you should sell right away. But first, I want to talk about the recent market action. I’ve been encouraged to see some positive action this past month, with the S&P 500, NASDAQ and the Dow hitting new record highs. This is due to the fact that the uncertainties that were hanging over the market earlier this year have largely been lifted. We are also entering the seasonally strong time of the year, the holiday season, where the cheery mood spreads through Wall Street. But I don’t want you to sit back and get comfortable just yet. With earnings season now behind us, I want to remind you of what you will see happen every quarterly announcement season. The stocks that are the crème de la crème – that is, stocks with superior fundamentals – often beat their estimates for sales and earnings. As such, they get rewarded with strong institutional buying pressure. Meanwhile, the weaker companies – that is, stocks with poor fundamentals – rarely surprise Wall Street. And because of this, they can drop like rocks when they announce results. Now, I’ve been in the market for more than four decades. And during that time, I’ve learned “what works” on Wall Street and what doesn’t. While I don’t claim to have a crystal ball, I believe my Stock Grader tool (subscription required) is the closest thing to it. You see, I purposefully designed this tool to help me distinguish between the two – fundamentally superior stocks and fundamentally weak stocks... before the rest of the market catches on. How Stock Grader Helps Avoid Disaster In a previous Market 360, I wrote in detail about how my Stock Grader tool works – including the eight fundamental criteria that make up a stock’s fundamental “grade.” ( You can read that here for a refresher .) But essentially, what I’m looking for are strong fundamentals like good margins, strong sales growth, earnings growth and optimism from analysts. That’s the bedrock of the stocks we select in my Growth Investor service. The other element that Stock Grader helps us find is stocks with persistent institutional buying pressure. This is where my Quantitative Grade comes in. If a stock has a Quantitative Grade of “A,” that tells me that there are institutional investors (money management firms, banks, etc.) who are VERY interested in this stock. This is what Wall Street likes to call the “smart money.” These firms have billions at their disposal to invest. So, when they begin buying, they tend to buy a LOT. As this buying pressure increases, so does the price of the stock. And in turn, you’ll see profits! These things might sound like common sense, but far too many investors neglect them. And I find that’s often the case with growth stocks that are receiving more hype than they really deserve. Sure, we all want growth. But oftentimes, eye-popping revenues can hide a lot of evils and result in much more hype than is really warranted. This sends people stampeding into exactly the wrong names. Luckily, we can also use Stock Grader to help us avoid these stocks. And even better, if we do own them, it can help us sell these stocks before it’s too late. Because the truth of the matter is this... Even if a company looked great before, sometimes disaster can be lurking under the surface. That was the situation with Enron in the early 2000s... How My System Detected the Biggest Financial Fraud of All Time Before Enron became one of the most infamous stocks ever, it was a great growth play. Enron was once America’s seventh-biggest company, but also named “America’s most innovative company” in Fortune magazine (six years in a row). And at one point, it was a big, flashing, A-rated buy in my system. After I recommended the stock, it gained 36%. Then, Enron’s rating started to weaken. This was well before Newsweek declared “Lights out for Enron,” in December 2001. The corruption going on at Enron was yet to be discovered – but according to my system, the fundamentals certainly didn’t justify the hype. So, we took our profits. And it turned out to be one of the best moves of my career! Other investors, sadly, got wiped out. Enron’s employees lost their retirement savings. But we avoided the massacre that ensued a few months later. Now, Enron is a pretty extreme example. So let me be clear: It does not take a massive financial fraud to wipe millions of dollars in value from the stock market. When a stock gets into a bubble, even a much smaller prick will do the trick. With that in mind, let’s look at some growth stocks that my system is flagging to sell or avoid. Each one of these stocks has a Total Grade of either “D” (Sell) or “F” (Strong Sell). Again, let me stress that I am not suggesting there is anything untoward going on at these companies. But according to Stock Grader , they are simply not worth your money at this time. As such, I am suggesting that you look elsewhere for great buys right now. Where You Should Look Next By combining a stock’s Fundamental Grade with its Quantitative Grade, we can make sure that we’re avoiding holding ticking time bombs in our portfolio. Ultimately, spotting the right investment is simple with Stock Grader . You buy when the company achieves a Total Grade of “A” (Strong Buy) or “B” (Buy)... and sell when it disappears. This is how we’ve landed winners like 3,000% on NVIDIA Corporation ( NVDA ), which we still have in our Growth Investor Buy List right now. The fact is that if you are looking for fundamentally superior stocks, you should look no further than my Growth Investor service. Currently, my Growth Investor stocks are characterized by the strongest sales and earnings growth: 23.7% average annual sales growth and a whopping 506.3% average annual earnings growth. So, these stocks remain “locked and loaded” for a strong yearend rally – and for the ongoing bull market in 2025.

Editor in Chief Dann Sullivan pulls up a pew to discuss the previous year It's been a year of extremes, which we tend to say every year The highs of this year show that the future isn't as bleak as it might seem Well, we're now at the end of the (Gregorian) year, so now's as good a time as any to look back over 2024, which happens to have been one of the most eventful years in the gaming industry's history. I've decided that this year's retrospective should go beyond covering the state of the industry to also include the website and what current trends and moves mean for the future of mobile gaming. If you're looking for something lighter, like a list of our favourite games throughout the year (as, perhaps, teased by the header), then check out our . Back when I started writing about games I did so on a site that myself and a few buddies had launched. It was 2011, and at the time I was still working in retail (GAME, the main video game retailer in the UK). I'd been working there for several years and had always got a kick out of people coming back and sharing their happiness at my recommendations. With the shift to digital (and the joyful spread of indie) as well as more and more independent publishers and media outlets showing up online, my group of pals decided that we'd give it a shot. It's impossible to talk about 2024 without talking about industry layoffs, which surpassed 2023 back at the start of the year and continued at full speed throughout. For a glimpse at the numbers and damage, check out . I've seen sites that I idolised change hands several times before turning to dust, and there's not much left of the earlier generations of independent media either. That said, there's now a renaissance of smaller, independent, fan-funded media popping up - so there's some hope that tastemaker, recommendation-driven and critical media will persist, it's just that it won't be under the same names as before. We've also been blessed with a lot of support from a great sales team, technical team and central operations team - as well as benefited from our amazing Pocket Gamer Connects events and all of the access and fringe events they bring. The site has seen some tweaks too, as many of our regular readers will have noticed. We've had some tweaks made to how and where we write things, which has resulted in tidier URLs and titles as well as the addition of the highlights sections (where I refer to myself in the third person above). Our layout has also changed slightly, making our homepage more of a curated destination. We date back to the magazine days, so why shouldn't we be able to represent that on short notice? Pocket Gamer, through our parent company, Steel Media, has always thrived due to its ability to pivot toward (and invite discussions on) the next big thing. At times that's been Touchscreen, The AppStores, Subscriptions, Battle Passes, Microtransactions, Webstores, XR as well as slightly more controversial recent topics like NFTs, Blockchain and AI. AI has always been a core part of how video games innovate (Intelligence is, of course, in the eye of the beholder and 'pathfinding', 'adaptive programming' and 'procedural generation' are all AI, to gaming's original definition). However, as the world's major search provider (as well as some more questionable entities) attempts to replace the human-written word with generated content it's made things trickier for outlets. AI slop ( ) is making it tougher and tougher, and that's why so many outlets are moving to deliberately making 'more human' content rather than trying to content against both the slop, and the churn of larger guide sites. We're there with them. We saw Apple's privacy sandbox completely shake up how advertising worked (as it turns out, people WILL opt out of sharing data when given the choice), which changed how targeted ads work and shook up the hypercasual landscape. We also had Epic's war on the Duopoly continue, and it broke ground too, with them triggering the EU's lust for regulation and moderation as well as their (pretty respectful in 2024) dislike of monopolies. However, it's increasingly clear that Epic's war to open up the ecosystem is going to cost them (and their Tencent backers) a lot over time, and is going to be years of gruelling, trench-warfare battles. Apple opening up in the EU is a success, but other regional and national governments aren't as particular as the EU. That said, just two weeks back Epic landed a massive goal that only a few outlets covered: (o2, Movistar, Vivo). While it's not Epic's clear ultimate goal - the ability to be freely downloaded and used on all mobile devices, without any restrictions or charges - it does skip that step by having it preinstalled on phones. For us here in the UK, (and subsequently Epic's) sphere of influence to Virgin Media, Vodafone and Three - all major players. While a Telefónica deal doesn't instantly prep paper for that preinstall situation to spread further, it certainly opens doors, and I know we'll see more on that in 2025. A few years on we had Apple and Google's own App Stores. The internet was flourishing and phone technology had rocketed forward - we had full web browsers and easy interfacing with our smartphones. Then came the APK stores, and eventually alternative webstores. However, sideloading aside, we also recently started to see streaming and subscriptions on the rise. In 2025 we'll have titles like Genshin Impact, Zenless Zone Zero and Infinity Nikki out and on the market, all of them having players who freely strafe between mobile and PC. At the same time, games that cut their teeth on mobile - like Clash of Clans and Subway Surfers - are now available on PC through . I played Netease's Badlanders and Lilith's Rise of Kingdoms both on my PC and phone. Next year we'll see Microsoft's store launch after its delay , the giant took , not long before launching their , which posited that everything from phone to PC (anything with a browser) will be able to access the Xbox ecosystem. This happened while Nintendo kept playing with mobile, Sega doubled down into the space (they Rovio) and most major publishers keep expanding into the space. That and, let's not forget, Microsoft now have not only Activision & Blizzard, but King. A lot of this isn't new, of course. We've been talking about big names getting into mobile for years, but people haven't really put their finger on the why. It's not just because mobile is often the battleground for new mechanics and monetisation techniques, but it's because you can scale mobile up to console, to PC and beyond... scaling PC or console down though... that's harder. So, now that everything (Discord, Netflix, Telegram, The New York Times... even LinkedIn) is a platform, and - through Microsoft and friends - is back, and Instant Games are on the rise, and subscriptions are more relevant than ever. Mobile gaming going to change, but it's going to be those inside the ecosystem that are going to be leading it, using these other technologies. If you look at popular 2018 turn-based strategy (and a personal favourite of our COO) Into the Breach you can see the single-screen singularity that we're entering into. You can play it on Switch, you can play it on iOS and Android and you can play it on Xbox, Playstation and PC too. This is facilitated by self-publishing and a string of partnerships, but critically, through casting from your phone, you can play it on everything from your phone to a cinema (or, probably bigger if you have a nice projector). You can, of course, run it natively through one of the other devices. As that little device in your hand gets smarter and more powerful, it's likely to wedge out most other, slower-moving gaming mediums like consoles - although I don't think 2025 is going to be the year for that. I do think that something that we'll be watching closely here at Pocket Gamer is how the Steam Deck encourages 'high tech, big budget' publishers to adopt a generational 'minimum' spec similar to console generations, and what that'll mean for wider adoption of 'mobile' teams and philosophies for 'mainstream' development. Anyway, 2024 is coming to a close and we've had a bumpy year, but the future is looking bright and exciting. Maybe we never left the creative 'wild west' in this industry, and it's time to fully embrace that again, especially here in the wild world of mobile.Percentages: FG .463, FT .632. 3-Point Goals: 5-11, .455 (Mincy 2-5, Parrish 1-1, King 1-2, Stewart 1-2, Harvey 0-1).

An online debate over foreign workers in tech shows tensions in Trump's political coalition

The Reds ultimately left St James’ Park with only a point after Fabian Schar snatched a 3-3 draw at the end of a pulsating encounter, but Salah’s double – his 14th and 15th goals of the season – transformed a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 lead before the Switzerland defender’s late intervention. The 32-year-old Egypt international’s future at Anfield remains a topic of debate with his current contract running down. Asked about Salah’s future, Slot said: “It’s difficult for me to predict the long-term future, but the only thing I can expect or predict is that he is in a very good place at the moment. Two goals and an assist for Mo tonight 👏 pic.twitter.com/tMXidgeA0P — Liverpool FC (@LFC) December 4, 2024 “He plays in a very good team that provides him with good opportunities and then he is able to do special things. “And what makes him for me even more special is that in the first hour or before we scored to make it 1-1, you thought, ‘He’s not playing his best game today’, and to then come up with a half-hour or 45 minutes – I don’t know how long it was – afterwards with an assist, two goals, having a shot on the bar, being a constant threat, that is something not many players can do if they’ve played the first hour like he did. “That is also what makes him special. If you just look at the goals, his finish is so clinical. He’s a special player, but that’s what we all know.” Salah did indeed endure a quiet opening 45 minutes by his standards and it was the Magpies who went in at the break a goal to the good after Alexander Isak’s stunning 35th-minute finish. Slot said: “The shot from Isak, I don’t even know if Caoimh (keeper Caoimhin Kelleher) saw that ball, as hard as it was.” Salah set up Curtis Jones to level five minutes into the second half and after Anthony Gordon has restored the hosts’ lead, levelled himself from substitute Trent Alexander-Arnold’s 68th-minute cross. He looked to have won it with a fine turn and finish – his ninth goal in seven league games – seven minutes from time, only for Schar to pounce from a tight angle in the 90th minute. Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe was delighted with the way his team took the game to the Reds four days after their disappointing 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace. Howe, who admitted his surprise that VAR official Stuart Attwell had not taken a dimmer view of a Virgil van Dijk shoulder barge on Gordon, said: “It’s mixed emotions. “Part of me feels we should have won it – a big part of me – but part of me is pleased we didn’t lose either because it was such a late goal for us. “Generally, I’m just pleased with the performance. There was much more attacking output, a much better feel about the team. “There was much better energy, and it was a really good performance against, for me, the best team we’ve played so far this season in the Premier League, so it was a big jump forward for us.”
