VSee Health and 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals Interviews Aired on the RedChip Small Stocks, Big Money(TM) Show on Bloomberg TVNEW YORK (AP) — Greg Gumbel, a longtime CBS sportscaster, has died from cancer, according to a statement from family released by CBS on Friday. He was 78. “He leaves behind a legacy of love, inspiration and dedication to over 50 extraordinary years in the sports broadcast industry; and his iconic voice will never be forgotten,” his wife Marcy Gumbel and daughter Michelle Gumbel said in a statement. In March, Gumbel missed his first NCAA Tournament since 1997 due to what he said at the time were family health issues. Gumbel was the studio host for CBS since returning to the network from NBC in 1998. Gumbel signed an extension with CBS last year that allowed him to continue hosting college basketball while stepping back from NFL announcing duties. In 2001, he announced Super Bowl XXXV for CBS, becoming the first Black announcer in the U.S. to call play-by-play of a major sports championship. David Berson, president and CEO of CBS Sports, described Greg Gumbel as breaking barriers and setting standards for others during his years as a voice for fans in sports, including in the NFL and March Madness. “A tremendous broadcaster and gifted storyteller, Greg led one of the most remarkable and groundbreaking sports broadcasting careers of all time,” said Berson. Gumbel had two stints at CBS, leaving the network for NBC when it lost football in 1994 and returning when it regained the contract in 1998. He hosted CBS’ coverage of the 1992 and 1994 Winter Olympics and called Major League Baseball games during its four-year run broadcasting the national pastime. But it was football and basketball where he was best known and made his biggest impact. Gumbel hosted CBS’ NFL studio show, “The NFL Today” from 1990 to 1993 and again in 2004. He also called NFL games as the network’s lead play-by-play announcer from 1998 to 2003, including Super Bowl XXXV and XXXVIII. He returned to the NFL booth in 2005, leaving that role after the 2022 season.

(0:15) Retail sales top expectations. (2:08) Meta updating Ray-Bans will live AI . (4:55) The following is an abridged transcript: Has the quantum trade already eclipsed the AI trade? Quantum Computing ( NASDAQ: QUBT ) shares are soaring for the second-straight trading day following news the company won a contract with NASA to utilize Dirac-3, its entropy quantum optimization machine, to support the space agency's advanced imaging and data processing demands. The stock is up 45% after a 70% surge on Monday. It has more than doubled since Friday and is up more than 500% since mid-November. Several other quantum stocks followed suit. D-Wave Quantum ( QBTS ) and Rigetti Computing ( RGTI ) are up about 10%. But IonQ ( IONQ ) is just lower. Danil Sereda, Investing Group Leader for Beyond the Wall Investing, says some of these meteoric rises among quantum computing stocks will be short-term events. The space is highly competitive, and likely only one or two of these companies will survive. "This fact puts investors in an awkward position if they try to invest in multiple companies without being aware of their particular prospects," Sereda said. "Due to the high technology hurdles and a scarcity of market players, many of these companies will be unable to survive, so it is important for investors not to buy into the entire niche on an ad hoc basis." "Also, there's a clear gap between their skyrocketing market caps and their factual performance. For example, IonQ has a market cap of more than $9b billion in the face of sustained losses, and Rigetti’s value at roughly $2 billion is in the face of declining revenue. Quantum Computing, likewise, is experiencing a stock price explosion while reporting little revenue and continued losses." Meanwhile, Seeking Alpha analyst Dilantha De Silva says IonQ is the best positioned among these stocks for long-term growth. "Although quantum computing stocks including IonQ are trading at stretched valuation levels on the back of a strong YTD performance, I believe this is just the beginning for these companies from a long-term perspective as we are yet to see the best this technology has to offer." Looking to the economy, November retail sales climbed 0.7% M/M , topping the +0.5% consensus and accelerating from 0.5% in October, revised up from +0.4%. Cars (ahem) drove the beat. Motor vehicle and parts sales surged 2.6% M/M. On a Y/Y basis, motor vehicle and parts dealers saw sales jump 6.5%. Core retail sales, which excludes motor vehicles and parts, increased 0.2% M/M, missing the +0.4% consensus, and unchanged from +0.2% prior (revised from +0.1%). Those numbers did not include the Sunday after Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday, which fell into December this year. Wells Fargo economists said today's report suggests holiday sales are still tracking in the neighborhood a gain of just over 3%. "We ultimately expect this will be a 'decent' holiday sales season for retailers. It's not going to knock anyone's socks off in the wake of record pandemic gains, but continued consumer momentum means it's unlikely to be overly weak either. As the calendar flips to 2025, households could face some new challenges, namely around tariffs." And speaking of holiday shopping, 35 years ago “Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire” aired on Fox as the 30-minute show debuted as a Christmas Special. After Mr. Burns cancels Xmas bonuses and Homer’s Santa moonlighting gig falls short, Homer and Bart bet on a 99-1 long shot at the dog track. They lose – but come home with Santa’s Lil Helper. This year’s holiday episode – titled “O C'mon All Ye Faithful” – is on tonight. It will be the 778 th episode aired. It would take more than 16 days to watch them all in a row, so my next staycation is set. Among active stocks Pfizer ( PFE ) is higher after it issued its full-year 2025 guidance and reaffirmed its 2024 outlook in line. The company expects its 2025 revenue and adjusted diluted earnings per share to reach $61 billion to $64 billion and $2.80-$3.00, respectively. The consensus is $63.28 billion and $2.88. Alphabet's ( GOOG ) ( GOOGL ) self-driving vehicle unit Waymo picked Tokyo as its first international destination to test its robotaxis as the company moves towards expanding beyond the U.S. Waymo will partner with Tokyo's largest taxi operator Nihon Kotsu and taxi app GO to bring its fleet to the city. The cars will initially be operated manually by Nihon Kotsu drivers to map key areas of Tokyo. And SolarEdge Technologies ( SEDG ) is rallying sharply after a double upgrade by Goldman Sachs to Buy from Sell. While the SolarEdge upgrade “is likely a bit early,” adding that the stock “represents a unique recovery story, in our view, that could be poised to benefit from a ‘shrink-to-grow’ strategy starting in 2025.” In other news of note, Ray-Bans have been sported by Holly Golightly, The Blues Brothers and Joel Goodsen, but with more plans from Meta ( META ) they may have their own personality. Meta said that it is updating the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses with live AI video capability and real-time language translation. The company has started rolling out the v11 software update. Meta said that during a live AI session, Meta AI can see what a user is seeing continuously and converse with them more naturally. Users can get real-time, hands-free help and can ask questions without saying "Hey Meta," reference things they discussed earlier in the session. Users can also interrupt anytime to ask follow-up questions or change topics. Meta noted that eventually live AI will, at the right moment, give useful suggestions even before users ask. And in the Wall Street Research Corner, looking for stocks poised for a New Year bounce? Wolfe Research is out with a list of stocks that have had a tough 2024, but may get some juice from tax-loss selling as December wraps up. Chief Investment Strategist Chris Senyek says this trade typically starts mid-December and continues through the first few weeks of the next year. These stocks historically outperform by an average of about 250 basis points during the last two weeks of December through the end of January.

Tait-Jones scores 21 as UC San Diego defeats James Madison 73-67MODEL Sakhile Dube is expected home today from Mexico where she took part in the Miss Universe 2024 pageant last weekend. The 27-year-old finished in the top 30. Denmark dancer-cum model, Victoria KjaEr Theilvig (21) was crowned Miss Universe 2024, becoming the first Dane to win the prestigious crown. Nigerian beauty queen, Chidimma Adetshina, was voted first runner-up while Mexico's Maria Fernanda Beltran came third. Thailand's Opal Suchata Chuangsri and Venezuela's Ileana Marquez made it to the top five after shrugging off stiff competition. With the 2024 edition done and dusted, Zimbabwe's representative at this year's edition, Sakhile, is expected to share her experiences upon her return home today. According to her itinerary, the Miss Universe Zimbabwe will be touching down at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport at 5 pm today. The Bulawayo-bred model is expected to address the media upon arrival. Sakhile has since shared her video appreciating Zimbabweans and her family for the love they showed her. "I would like to thank my family and Zimbabwe for showing me love. "We made it this far because of the unity that we had. "I am super-excited with what the future holds for us and for me being given this opportunity to represent our country, we made it together," she said in the post. Sakhile was confident that Zimbabwe's future representatives would build on her success. "We made the top 30 and I know this is going to pave the way for more girls to come. "I have learnt a lot in boot camp, I met other 128 girls, and I have learnt that there is beauty in diversity." Sakhile, who has previously won several beauty contests including Miss Tourism Zimbabwe 2020, Miss Earth Zimbabwe 2022, Miss Supranational Africa and Supra Top Model in 2023, is also expected to share her plans. Many are tipping her to broaden her portfolio in modelling while others have encouraged her to groom youngsters. Her patriotism for Zimbabwe has also made her a favourite of many as she strutted her stuff effortlessly on the ramp. The talented model, who was accompanied by Miss Universe Zimbabwe Organisation chairperson, Miniyathabo Chiwengwa, national director Tendai Hunda and Zodwa Mkandla among other officials, left an impression in Mexico. She was also the crowd's favourite although she failed to qualify for the pageant's "Voice for Change" competition. The "Voice for Change" competition is a global initiative that encourages Miss Universe delegates to create videos about social causes they care about. Sakhile also won the hearts of many with her national dress titled "The Soaring Eagle" which was designed by Ishmael Tsakatsa of the Zarguesia brand. Social media was full of praise for Sakhile who rocked the stunning dress which told the story of Zimbabwe. Sakhile, who has done her best at the international level after months of hard work and preparations, was also hailed for promoting beauty with brains. As the local modelling industry celebrates Sakhile's fine run in Mexico, her international fans are anxious to learn about her plans after this participation.

Sakhile has nothing to prove back home as she has demonstrated her full potential in every contest she partook. A former fashion model, Sakhile has shown her versatility in pageantry. Hailing from Bulawayo, Sakhile has also managed to unite players in the industry through her professionalism as was shown at Miss Universe Zimbabwe finals early this year. She has also proved to be an inspiration to young models who wish to take pageantry as a profession by pledging to assist them. Modelling enthusiasts, scouts and friends are expected to welcome Sakhile at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport today and cheer her for hoisting high the national flag and leaving a lasting impression in Mexico.
