First Look Inside Pier Sixty-Six Residences In Ft. Lauderdale, FloridaAs it often does this time of year, lately, it’s felt like we’re racing toward Christmas and New Year’s. Many folks are counting down the days until that fast-approaching holiday break, very much looking forward to some time off spent with loved ones. But in fact, the Yuletide isn’t the only exciting thing that December has in store... That is, for the past several months, my team and I have been working to create a new type of stock picking tool. And tomorrow, Wednesday, Dec. 11 at 1 p.m. , we’ll be unveiling this trailblazing system for the very first time. ( Sign up for that event here! ) It’s one that analyzes thousands of stocks each month to find those best positioned to rise over the next 30 days. I’m talking stocks with a strong fundamental, technical, and sentimental basis. We’ve dubbed this advanced tool Auspex – in recognition of the ancient Roman officials who interpreted omens to guide their decisions. As I mentioned, each month, Auspex runs a comprehensive scan of the market, examining many thousands of data points to find the few stocks that are strong across the board. But what exactly does that entail? Today, we’ll start by reviewing the fundamental aspect of Auspex’s stock picking. There are a lot of fundamental factors to consider. And that means there are a lot of ways for a stock to be fundamentally strong. Trained to Seek Only the Best Fundamental Setups In our experience, three things matter most when it comes to stock fundamentals: sales , earnings , and profit margins . Are sales rising? What about earnings? Is the trend of that growth picking up or slowing down? And how about profits? Are margins compressing or expanding? When looking for the market’s top performers, we want to find stocks that are growing sales and earnings. Moreover, we want to see sales growth acceleration, meaning the business is seeing underlying sales momentum. The same goes for earnings growth. Additionally, we want to see profit margin expansion, too. That means we’re hoping to uncover businesses whose profit margins are higher today than where they were last year. When a stock meets all those criteria, Auspex deems it fundamentally strong. And not many meet such strict criteria. That is, very few stocks have rising and accelerating sales and earnings growth, as well as profit margin expansion, all at the same time. When we have Auspex scan the markets, it analyzes a universe of roughly 14,000 stocks. In a recent scan we conducted, only about 300 of those 14,000 stocks were deemed fundamentally strong, with accelerating sales and earnings growth and swelling profit margins. That is just about 2% of all possible picks. Yet, the complete list of the most promising stocks Auspex flags is even narrower. The Final Word on Expert Stock Picking Those ~300 picks are just the stocks that Auspex deemed fundamentally strong. After receiving those results, we incorporate technical and sentimental parameters to whittle the list down further. In the same recent scan we’re talking about here, those additional criteria cut down the list of true Auspex picks from ~300 to just 10. According to our model, those were the 10 best stocks to buy in the market (at the time of that scan). Moreover, it appears that Auspex really works. Early results have been quite strong. That is, thorough back testing shows Auspex has outperformed the market by approximately 10X-plus in various time windows. And it has delivered positive, strong returns for subscribers in all five months since its live implementation. In our view, that’s pretty astonishing. But better still, it requires only five to 10 minutes of attention per month. You’ll receive alerts, buy the recommended stocks, then check back the following month – simple as that. And tomorrow, Wednesday, December 11 at 1 p.m. EST , I’ll be unveiling this innovative tool during a new special broadcast. Reserve your seat to that exciting debut.

Check out the latest issue on your Innovation Investor or Early Stage Investor subscriber site.The United States is expected to announce that it will send 1.25 billion dollars (£1 billion) in military assistance to Ukraine, US officials said on Friday, as the Biden administration pushes to get as much aid to Kyiv as possible before leaving office on January 20. The large package of aid includes a significant amount of munitions, including for the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems and the Hawk air defence system. It also will provide Stinger missiles and 155mm and 105mm artillery rounds, officials said. The officials, who said they expect the announcement to be made on Monday, spoke on condition of anonymity to provide details not yet made public. The new aid comes as Russia launched a barrage of attacks against Ukraine’s power facilities in recent days, although Ukraine has said it intercepted a significant number of the missiles and drones. Russian and Ukrainian forces are also still in a bitter battle around the Russian border region of Kursk, where Moscow has sent thousands of North Korean troops to help reclaim territory taken by Ukraine. Earlier this month, senior defence officials acknowledged that the US Defence Department may not be able to send all of the remaining 5.6 billion dollars (£4.5 billion) in Pentagon weapons and equipment stocks passed by Congress for Ukraine before President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in. Mr Trump has talked about getting some type of negotiated settlement between Ukraine and Russia, and spoken about his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Many US and European leaders are concerned that it might result in a poor deal for Ukraine and they worry that he will not provide Ukraine with all the weapons funding approved by Congress. The aid in the new package is in presidential drawdown authority, which allows the Pentagon to take weapons off the shelves and send them quickly to Ukraine. This latest assistance would reduce the remaining amount to about 4.35 billion dollars (£3.46 billion). Officials have said they hope that an influx of aid will help strengthen Ukraine’s hand, should Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky decide it is time to negotiate. One senior defence official said that while the US will continue to provide weapons to Ukraine until January 20, there may well be funds remaining that will be available for the incoming Trump administration to spend. According to the Pentagon, there is also about 1.2 billion dollars (£0.9 billion) remaining in longer-term funding through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which is used to pay for weapons contracts that would not be delivered for a year or more. Officials have said the administration anticipates releasing all of that money before the end of the calendar year. If the new package is included, the US will have provided more than 64 billion dollars (£50.8 billion) in security assistance to Ukraine since Russia invaded in February 2022.

NoneKKR Real Estate Finance Trust Inc. (NYSE:KREF) Declares $0.25 Quarterly DividendAs a former and potentially future president, Donald Trump hailed what would become Project 2025 as a road map for “exactly what our movement will do” with another crack at the White House. As the blueprint for a hard-right turn in America became a liability during the 2024 campaign, Trump pulled an about-face. He denied knowing anything about the “ridiculous and abysmal” plans written in part by his first-term aides and allies. Now, after being elected the 47th president on Nov. 5, Trump is stocking his second administration with key players in the detailed effort he temporarily shunned. Most notably, Trump has tapped Russell Vought for an encore as director of the Office of Management and Budget; Tom Homan, his former immigration chief, as “border czar;” and immigration hardliner Stephen Miller as deputy chief of policy. Those moves have accelerated criticisms from Democrats who warn that Trump's election hands government reins to movement conservatives who spent years envisioning how to concentrate power in the West Wing and impose a starkly rightward shift across the U.S. government and society. Trump and his aides maintain that he won a mandate to overhaul Washington. But they maintain the specifics are his alone. “President Trump never had anything to do with Project 2025,” said Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt in a statement. “All of President Trumps' Cabinet nominees and appointments are whole-heartedly committed to President Trump's agenda, not the agenda of outside groups.” Here is a look at what some of Trump's choices portend for his second presidency. The Office of Management and Budget director, a role Vought held under Trump previously and requires Senate confirmation, prepares a president's proposed budget and is generally responsible for implementing the administration's agenda across agencies. The job is influential but Vought made clear as author of a Project 2025 chapter on presidential authority that he wants the post to wield more direct power. “The Director must view his job as the best, most comprehensive approximation of the President’s mind,” Vought wrote. The OMB, he wrote, “is a President’s air-traffic control system” and should be “involved in all aspects of the White House policy process,” becoming “powerful enough to override implementing agencies’ bureaucracies.” Trump did not go into such details when naming Vought but implicitly endorsed aggressive action. Vought, the president-elect said, “knows exactly how to dismantle the Deep State” — Trump’s catch-all for federal bureaucracy — and would help “restore fiscal sanity.” In June, speaking on former Trump aide Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast, Vought relished the potential tension: “We’re not going to save our country without a little confrontation.” The strategy of further concentrating federal authority in the presidency permeates Project 2025's and Trump's campaign proposals. Vought's vision is especially striking when paired with Trump's proposals to dramatically expand the president's control over federal workers and government purse strings — ideas intertwined with the president-elect tapping mega-billionaire Elon Musk and venture capitalist Vivek Ramaswamy to lead a “Department of Government Efficiency.” Trump in his first term sought to remake the federal civil service by reclassifying tens of thousands of federal civil service workers — who have job protection through changes in administration — as political appointees, making them easier to fire and replace with loyalists. Currently, only about 4,000 of the federal government's roughly 2 million workers are political appointees. President Joe Biden rescinded Trump's changes. Trump can now reinstate them. Meanwhile, Musk's and Ramaswamy's sweeping “efficiency” mandates from Trump could turn on an old, defunct constitutional theory that the president — not Congress — is the real gatekeeper of federal spending. In his “Agenda 47,” Trump endorsed so-called “impoundment,” which holds that when lawmakers pass appropriations bills, they simply set a spending ceiling, but not a floor. The president, the theory holds, can simply decide not to spend money on anything he deems unnecessary. Vought did not venture into impoundment in his Project 2025 chapter. But, he wrote, “The President should use every possible tool to propose and impose fiscal discipline on the federal government. Anything short of that would constitute abject failure.” Trump's choice immediately sparked backlash. “Russ Vought is a far-right ideologue who has tried to break the law to give President Trump unilateral authority he does not possess to override the spending decisions of Congress (and) who has and will again fight to give Trump the ability to summarily fire tens of thousands of civil servants,” said Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, a Democrat and outgoing Senate Appropriations chairwoman. Reps. Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Melanie Stansbury of New Mexico, leading Democrats on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, said Vought wants to “dismantle the expert federal workforce” to the detriment of Americans who depend on everything from veterans' health care to Social Security benefits. “Pain itself is the agenda,” they said. Trump’s protests about Project 2025 always glossed over overlaps in the two agendas. Both want to reimpose Trump-era immigration limits. Project 2025 includes a litany of detailed proposals for various U.S. immigration statutes, executive branch rules and agreements with other countries — reducing the number of refugees, work visa recipients and asylum seekers, for example. Miller is one of Trump's longest-serving advisers and architect of his immigration ideas, including his promise of the largest deportation force in U.S. history. As deputy policy chief, which is not subject to Senate confirmation, Miller would remain in Trump's West Wing inner circle. “America is for Americans and Americans only,” Miller said at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally on Oct. 27. “America First Legal,” Miller’s organization founded as an ideological counter to the American Civil Liberties Union, was listed as an advisory group to Project 2025 until Miller asked that the name be removed because of negative attention. Homan, a Project 2025 named contributor, was an acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement director during Trump’s first presidency, playing a key role in what became known as Trump's “family separation policy.” Previewing Trump 2.0 earlier this year, Homan said: “No one’s off the table. If you’re here illegally, you better be looking over your shoulder.” John Ratcliffe, Trump's pick to lead the CIA, was previously one of Trump's directors of national intelligence. He is a Project 2025 contributor. The document's chapter on U.S. intelligence was written by Dustin Carmack, Ratcliffe's chief of staff in the first Trump administration. Reflecting Ratcliffe's and Trump's approach, Carmack declared the intelligence establishment too cautious. Ratcliffe, like the chapter attributed to Carmack, is hawkish toward China. Throughout the Project 2025 document, Beijing is framed as a U.S. adversary that cannot be trusted. Brendan Carr, the senior Republican on the Federal Communications Commission, wrote Project 2025's FCC chapter and is now Trump's pick to chair the panel. Carr wrote that the FCC chairman “is empowered with significant authority that is not shared” with other FCC members. He called for the FCC to address “threats to individual liberty posed by corporations that are abusing dominant positions in the market,” specifically “Big Tech and its attempts to drive diverse political viewpoints from the digital town square.” He called for more stringent transparency rules for social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube and “empower consumers to choose their own content filters and fact checkers, if any.” Carr and Ratcliffe would require Senate confirmation for their posts.

The Magic did it again. Down by 21 early in the third quarter, down by 15 entering the fourth and still down by 15 with six minutes remaining, the short-handed Orlando Magic closed the game on a 22-4 run to beat the Brooklyn Nets 102-101 on Sunday. It was Orlando's second win after trailing by at least 21 points in a span of just over a week after having only two such wins in the previous six seasons combined. “We don't quit,” Magic guard Cole Anthony said. Anthony's layup with 1.3 seconds left was the winner for the Magic, who are playing without Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner and Moritz Wagner. Orlando lost point guard Jalen Suggs in the first half to a sprained wrist. No problem. “It speaks so much to the resiliency of our guys, the grit of our guys, the preparation of the coaching staff keeping guys that have not played ready to go, knowing that they can light a spark at any moment," Magic coach Jamahl Mosley said. "That’s what you saw tonight.” It was the sixth time in the NBA this season that a team has won after trailing by at least 21 points — and Orlando has two of those victories. The Magic trailed by as many as 25 points against Miami on Dec. 21, and were still down 22 entering the fourth quarter before outscoring the Heat 37-8 in the final frame to beat them 121-114. How Orlando has stayed firmly in the Eastern Conference playoff mix without Banchero and the Wagner brothers is one of the feel-good stories of the first half of the NBA season. The Magic are now 20-14 and fourth in the East despite missing Banchero for 29 of those 34 games. Banchero is nearing a return from a torn oblique; Franz Wagner has the same injury and is expected to miss a few more weeks and Moritz Wagner is out for the season with a torn ACL. But the Magic keep winning, thanks largely to defense. Brooklyn went 0 for 8 from the field in the final 7:14, while Orlando shot 8 for 14 in that span. “It says that we are enough, and we have enough, no matter who is on the floor,” Mosley said. “We know how we're going to defend. We know how we're going to communicate. We know how we're going to keep fighting. So, when you step on the floor and you play for the Orlando Magic, this is how you're going to play.” Anthony's winner was on a bit of a broken play. Mosley drew up something for Tristan da Silva, who led the Magic with 21 points. But it was Anthony getting to the rim for the deciding basket. “I ain’t gonna lie,” Anthony said. “The play was for Tristan.” Updated 08:21 IST, December 30th 2024
PONTIAC—Benet’s Daniel Pauliukonis may be the area’s most under-the-radar Division I recruit. The 6-9 senior, signed with SIU, had some nice games last season, and sparkled in club basketball over the summer. His full arsenal of skills was displayed in a 58-44 win against Bloom in the quarterfinals of the 93rd Pontiac Holiday Tournament on Friday . Pauliukonis finished with 20 points and six rebounds. He scored on threes, midrange jumpers, takes to the basket and post moves. “I got off to a good start so that was nice, got in my groove,” Pauliukonis said. “In the second half when they started face-guarding me I set some screens and helped get the other guys open.” Pauliukonis scored 18 in the first half to help the Redwings jump out to a 34-20 halftime lead. Benet stayed in control throughout the second half. “Daniel played great,” Benet coach Gene Heidkamp said. “In the second half, they tagged him. They face-guarded him with Elijah Lovemore. They made a concerted effort to take him out of the game.” Senior Blake Fagbemi had 14 points, six rebounds and five assists for the Redwings. Junior Jayden Wright added 10 points and four assists. Fagbemi and Wright provide Benet with a dynamic, dependable backcourt that complements the size of Pauliukonis and 7-2 junior Colin Stack (nine points, eight rebounds). Gabe Sularski, one of the state’s top juniors, transferred from Benet to Lemont over the summer. The Redwings (12-1) have replaced his offense seamlessly. And unlike some of Benet’s previous successful teams, this group isn’t reliant on three-pointers. “There is more balance,” Heidkamp said. “We have a ways to go defensively. But offensively we have a little bit more balance and diversity. We can score around the rim more. We have guys that can slash and get to the rim.” Sophomore Xavier Martin led Bloom (8-3) with 13 points and Adam Page added 12 points and eight rebounds. Benet will face Simeon in the semifinals on Saturday.

HUMA and certain of its executives are now defendants in a class action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina. The suit, Cutshall v. Humacyte, Inc., et al. , alleges that the company misled investors about the status of its Biologic License Application (BLA) for its acellular tissue engineered vessel (ATEV) and the regulatory compliance of its manufacturing facilities. Hagens Berman urges investors in Humacyte who suffered substantial losses to submit your losses now . Class Period: May 10, 2024 – Oct. 17, 2024 Lead Plaintiff Deadline: Jan. 17, 2025 Visit: www.hbsslaw.com/investor-fraud/huma Contact the Firm Now: HUMA@hbsslaw.com | 844-916-0895 Humacyte, Inc. (HUMA) Securities Class Action: The complaint, filed on behalf of investors who purchased Humacyte securities between May 10, 2024, and October 17, 2024, claims that the company and its executives failed to disclose material adverse facts about the company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, the lawsuit alleges that Humacyte's Durham, North Carolina facility had significant manufacturing compliance issues, including deficiencies in quality assurance and microbial testing. The truth emerged after the FDA's subsequent inspection of the facility and the delayed review of the BLA came to light, which led to a significant decline in Humacyte's stock price. Specifically, on August 9, 2024, the company announced that the FDA would require additional time to complete its review of the BLA. Then, on October 17, 2024, the FDA issued a Form 483 detailing multiple violations at the Durham facility. "The allegations in the complaint highlight serious violations of securities laws. If proven true, Humacyte's alleged failure to disclose material information to investors is unacceptable," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm's investigation.

One key differentiating factor of being a cryptocurrency investor is that the markets never close. This is a 24/7 game, with trading open at all hours -- and some of the biggest moves often take place during Asian trading hours. The idea that money never sleeps is not lost on many traders with short-term positions in many tokens. And given the intense volatility in this sector, following the price action on even the most "stable" crypto projects isn't going to be possible for most investors (we have to sleep at some point). But for those doing a Sunday portfolio review, investors may notice that three of their potential holdings have skyrocketed since Friday's stock market close at 4 p.m. ET. Stellar ( XLM 7.87% ) , Polkadot ( DOT -1.65% ) , and NEAR Protocol ( NEAR 6.55% ) have surged 45.9%, 33.2% and 13.7%, respectively, as of 12:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, justifying a deeper look into what's driving these impressive moves. Key catalysts to watch Aside from marketwide macro drivers taking many tokens higher over the past weekend (the overall market capitalization of the entire crypto market continues to hover around an all-time high at $3.26 trillion), there are token-specific catalysts at play for each of these projects that investors certainly want to be aware of. In the case of Stellar and its very impressive surge of more than 45% this weekend, there's a particular growth catalyst investors are paying close attention to right now. In particular, a filing from Grayscale in regards to its Stellar Lumens Trust has sent investors scrambling to ramp up leveraged positions on the XLM token (Stellar's native crypto). In a 10-K filing on Friday, Grayscale announced that net inflows into the trust amounted to 10% over the past quarter, a number that clearly surprised the market. Investors looking for key fundamental catalysts as reasons to place bullish bets on top tokens are increasingly looking at supply and demand factors, with capital inflows into various investment vehicles remaining a key bellwether for how the market feels about a particular asset over a given period of time. Polkadot's weekend rally appears to be a continuation of strong momentum seen from Wednesday, when it was announced that Polkadot is exploring a blockchain integration with Cardano ( ADA -7.44% ) . Investors may note that Cardano's founder Charles Hoskinson has been tied to the Trump administration's plans to create the most crypto-friendly regulatory policies to date, so this tie-up is of particular interest to investors. Suppose Polkadot is able to reinforce its status as a leading network of connected blockchains, building this network with top-tier existing platforms like Cardano. In that case, growth expectations are likely to continue to improve. Investors appear to be pricing in much more significant network effects from this potential integration into the project's market capitalization, which currently sits at around $12 billion at the time of writing. Finally, NEAR Protocol is a unique crypto project, in that this particular token has not only benefited from many of the marketwide catalysts driving most cryptos higher since the outcome of the election was announced earlier this month, but it's also a top cloud and AI beneficiary in the crypto sector benefiting from broader tech-related tailwinds. This project has seen particularly strong TVL growth over the past month, and recently implemented sharding on its network in September to improve efficiency. If users and developers continue to flock to this layer 1 network as a result of the various improvements the NEAR Protocol team has made to its network, fundamental growth could be the key catalyst driving this token higher in the coming weeks and months. Bottom line Stellar, Polkadot , and NEAR Protocol may be three crypto projects investors don't pay enough attention to. I'd put myself into this category. I follow these tokens, but they don't get enough love for the sort of behind-the-scenes work that can drive investor returns. Each project has unique catalysts that could propel continued momentum over time. I wouldn't be surprised to see these three tokens atop the list of weekly movers through the end of the year, given the quality of these catalysts.Kim Kardashian fans accuse star of photoshopping bum after spotting obvious clueWatch moment dad of sex abuse teacher Brittany Zamora’s 13-year-old victim confronts her & dubs her a ‘f***ing monster’
