Every word and action from the dugout or press conference room is latched on by anyone with an opinion to extract supposed bigger consequences as Manchester City's atrocious run of form places more microscopes over the Etihad. The same 'body language expert' who used an interview Guardiola did with Italian TV in October to assert that the City manager had 'already accepted an offer' to leave has moved on to peddle new revelations. As Guardiola has said, he was never cool - you only have to watch one game with him on the touchline to see that - but winning made him cool. Now nothing he does can make him look good, but claw marks over his head or a bloodied nose will draw extra attention. City as a club enter the January transfer window in a similar position.

The shadow library

Shares of Rocket Lab ( RKLB -11.46% ) soared 155% in November, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence . The space flight and rocket company keeps announcing new missions and posted a promising earnings result in the month. Aiming to compete with SpaceX, Rocket Lab is growing its ambitions and further separating itself from the rocket start-up pack. As of this writing, Rocket Lab stock is up 355% year to date. Here's why it was soaring yet again in November. Fast growth, new capabilities In the third quarter of 2024, Rocket Lab posted more strong growth. Revenue was up 55% year over year to $105 million. In the last three years, Rocket Lab has grown its sales by a cumulative 484%, making it one of the fastest-growing businesses in the world. The company is increasing its launch cadence for its small Electron rocket, which is leading to more launch revenue and more sales for its space systems products. Its customer backlog hit $1.05 billion in the quarter, which is more than two years of its current revenue levels. Looking forward, there are expectations that Rocket Lab will keep up these impressive growth figures. The company launched two Electron rockets in the same 24-hour period in November, while also signing multiple contracts with the government and getting $24 million in funding from the CHIPS Act. Most importantly, Rocket Lab signed an agreement for multiple launches on its upcoming Neutron rocket. The Neutron rocket will be larger than the Electron, which means more revenue per launch. It is expected to begin commercial operations within the next few years and is something investors should track closely when it comes to Rocket Lab stock. Temper your expectations, for now Even though Rocket Lab's business is doing admirably, the stock is getting ahead of itself, especially last month. Its price-to-sales ( P/S ) ratio has reached 33, which is a heavy premium to the average stock on the market. It has a market cap of $11.4 billion. Even if Rocket Lab's annual revenue grows to $1 billion, it will still trade at a P/S above 10. Another concern is the lack of profitability. Rocket Lab has never generated a positive operating profit or free cash flow. This is a risk that shouldn't be ignored by investors. Rocket Lab is a fascinating company, but not one an investor should buy today due to its extreme P/S and historical lack of profitability.IperionX Stock Soars to All-Time High of $29.96 Amidst 221% Annual SurgeNike ( NKE -0.23% ) has been through the wringer lately. The world's largest sportswear brand is suffering through one of the most challenging periods in its history. Revenue has now fallen for three quarters in a row and those declines are expected to continue. After a post-pandemic spike in 2022, revenue growth decelerated for seven quarters in a row, bottoming out with a 10% decline this summer. Along the way, Nike stock is down 57% from its peak in 2021, and it's ceded significant market share and mindshare to upstart rivals like On Holding and Deckers ' Hoka brand. Blame for the debacle was placed squarely on the shoulders of former CEO John Donahoe, who was ousted by the board in September. With a pedigree in tech rather than retail or consumer products, Donahoe seemed to lose sight of the company's priorities and made tactical errors like abandoning valuable wholesale partners and directing marketing dollars toward Google searches rather than the kind of brand-building campaigns the company is traditionally known for. Nike brought longtime company veteran Elliott Hill in to right the ship, and Hill hit many of the right notes on his first earnings call, saying he aims to return sport to the center of the company and accelerate innovation, design, product creation, and storytelling. Nike's latest round of results indicate that the business is still headed in the wrong direction with revenue in the fiscal second quarter down 8% to $12.3 billion and net income falling 26% to $1.16 billion. The company's struggles and the sell-off in the stock present investors with a classic dilemma -- whether to buy this blue chip stock on the dip or avoid it while it attempts to revamp its business. After all, not every turnaround turns. Under Armour famously collapsed in the mid-2010s and has never recovered. One investor betting on Nike's recovery is Bill Ackman, the billionaire head of Pershing Square Capital Management. In the third quarter, Ackman bought 13.2 million shares of Nike, bringing his total holdings in the stock to 16.3 million shares, which is worth about $1.25 billion currently. Why Ackman bought Nike Ackman hasn't directly addressed his purchase of Nike stock, but the billionaire is known as a contrarian and has bet big on distressed consumer brands in the past. For instance, Ackman piled into Chipotle stock when the company was dealing with its E. coli crisis. Eventually, with the help of a new CEO, the brand overcame it, and the stock soared in the following years. Ackman seems to be trying to apply the same playbook to Nike. The news that Donahoe would be leaving came late in the third quarter so it's unclear if that triggered Ackman's additional purchases or if he was buying the stock beforehand. According to The New York Post , Ackman supported bringing in Hill as Donahoe's replacement. The turnaround strategy takes shape Nike stock was initially up on the earnings report as its second-quarter numbers topped estimates, but investors were disappointed with the outlook. Hill outlined the key initiatives that the company is undertaking to turn around the business, and some of the moves will impact results over the next few quarters. Noting that the brand has become too promotional, Hill sees recapturing its premium status as key to its recovery and that means charging full price rather than leaning into discounting. Due to that strategy, the company plans to liquidate excess inventory in less profitable channels over the coming quarters and it's scaling back its orders for the summer. This fits with Hill's intention of returning Nike to a "pull market," meaning customer demand drives the business rather than aggressive marketing. Hill also recognizes that Nike's product needs to work for athletes first before it can work for consumers as he diagnosed the earlier challenges, saying: "We lost our obsession with sport. Moving forward, we will lead with sport and put the athlete at the center of every decision." The new Nike chief was able to hit the ground running because he already has relationships with Nike's top retail partners, sports leagues, sponsor athletes, and other key stakeholders, and he seems to be a good choice to restore the company to its historical leadership position in the industry. Is Nike a buy? Management's guidance made it clear that the turnaround is going to take time, and results in the fiscal second half of the year will be weak. For the third quarter, Nike is targeting a revenue decline in the low double-digits and gross margin compression of 300 to 350 basis points, which will lead to a substantial decline in profits, though the company didn't give bottom-line guidance. While that forecast disappointed investors and erased the stock's initial gains on the report, Nike seems to be on the right track here. It needs to reclaim the shelf space it's lost in recent years and the premium branding it's ceded. The stock doesn't look cheap based on current earnings, but profits are well below what they could be, and we could see a return to profit growth within a year. Given the 57% pullback in the stock, there's a lot of upside potential if Nike can execute Hill's strategy. Investors will have to be patient, but at the current beaten-down price, Nike stock has the makings of a double or better over the next few years as the turnaround story plays out.None

NoneCONAKRY, Guinea -- Chaos erupted at a soccer game in Guinea after fans protested a referee's call and thousands of panicked spectators tried to flee the stadium, leaving at least 56 people dead in the West African nation, officials and witnesses said Monday. Amid the confusion, security forces used tear gas, local news website Media Guinea reported. Many of the dead were crushed as they tried to escape through the stadium gates, a journalist covering the game for a local sports website told The Associated Press. "The gates, that's where the stampede happened," said Cissé Lancine, who got away by climbing over one of the stadium walls. "I was saved because I did not rush towards the exit." The world's latest sports crowd disaster unfurled Sunday in the second-largest city in a military-run nation where information is sparse and government-controlled at the best of times. It was not immediately clear how much the death toll could grow. Lancine said between 20,000 and 30,000 people were present at the Third of April stadium to watch the local Labe and Nzerekore teams compete in the final of the first national tournament honoring military leader Mamadi Doumbouya. Checkpoints were set up Monday throughout Nzerekore, a city of about 200,000 that was at a standstill as soldiers guarded the hospital where victims were being treated. Most shops were closed. Video, apparently from the scene, showed shouting fans protesting the refereeing. People ran as they tried to escape the stadium, many of them jumping the high fence. "Supporters threw stones. This is why the security services used tear gas," reported Media Guinea, which also wrote that several of the dead were children and some of the injured were in critical condition. The footage showed people lying on the floor of a hospital as members of a crowd helped the wounded. Enock Loua, a resident of Nzerekore, learned over the phone that his niece Aline Olivier had been killed. "We have a hard time realizing what happened to us, it is as if the sky has fallen on our heads," Loua told The Associated Press. Authorities are trying to establish who was responsible, Prime Minister Amadou Oury Bah said on national television. The National Alliance for Alternation and Democracy opposition coalition said the tournament was organized to drum up support for Doumbouya's "illegal and inappropriate" political ambitions. Doumbouya, who ousted then-President Alpha Conde in 2021, has been eyeing a possible run for the presidential election, for which the date has not been set. The transition charter put in place by his own regime does not allow him to run. Guinea is one of a number of West African countries - including Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso - where the military has taken power and delayed a return to civilian rule. Doumbouya said he was preventing the country from slipping into chaos and chastised the previous government for broken promises. He has, however, been criticized for not meeting the expectations that he raised. Guinea's leader announced three days of national mourning starting on Tuesday, in a presidential decree read on national television.TAYLOR Swift is already in the Christmas spirit as December rolls around.

Three people were arrested during pro-Palestinian demonstrations in Ottawa this weekend. Ottawa's chapter of the Palestinian Youth Movement has been organizing weekly rallies through the downtown core to protest Israel's ongoing armed offensive in Gaza and Lebanon since the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attacks. On Saturday, police say two people were arrested. One man was taken into custody after interfering with the group demonstrating and a woman was arrested for assaulting a police officer following "repeated non-compliance orders from officers." Demonstrators tell CTV News the man was not part of the pro-Palestinian rally. Organizers for the Palestinian Youth Movement say one of their members was also arrested during a protest in front of the Ottawa Police Service headquarters on Sunday morning. Police have not confirmed the arrest or the charges. Demonstrators marched from the Human Rights Monument near Ottawa City Hall and moved down Elgin Street, Sussex Drive and Rideau Street. Video posted to social media by the Palestinian Youth Movement shows a confrontation between police and the demonstrators. "The Ottawa police brutalized and attacked community members today and arrested a protestor dragging them out of the crowd. They shoved people at the back of the protest to force us onto the sidewalk. Every weekend protest has been on the streets. The police chose violence and escalation today," the group said in an Instagram post. A post shared by PYM Ottawa (@ottawapym) Following the arrest on Saturday night, a rally was held in front of the Ottawa Police Service headquarters on Elgin Street to demand the release of one of the demonstrators taken into custody. A rally protesting the actions of police continued on Sunday. This weekend's arrests come after police arrested four pro-Palestinian demonstrators on Monday for charges that included mischief, assaulting police and obstruction of a peace officer. Police continue to investigate and say more charges may be laid. "While peaceful protest is a right, it comes with the responsibility to respect the law and ensure public safety," police said on social media.

Ruhullah leads protest on reservation; PDP, other party leaders participate Srinagar: National Conference leader and Lok Sabha member from Srinagar Aga Ruhullah Mehdi led a peaceful protest outside the residence of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah here to support the demand for “rationalisation” of reservations in Jammu and Kashmir. Also, the Chief Minister assured a delegation of protesting students that the cabinet sub-committee formed to review the reservation policy in Jammu and Kashmir will submit its report within six months, according to student leaders. The students are protesting against the reservation policy in Jammu and Kashmir implemented after the abrogation of Article 370. “We met the chief minister and held discussions on the reservation issue for about 30 minutes. The crux of the discussion was that the chief minister has asked for six months for the sub-committee to complete its work,” one of the student leaders told reporters after meeting Abdullah at his residence. Taking to social media, Abdullah said the channel of communication with the students will remain open without any intermediaries. “Today I met the representatives of the Open Merit Students Association. The beauty of democracy is the right to be heard & dialogue in a spirit of mutual cooperation. I have made certain requests of them & given them a number of assurances. This channel of communication will remain open without any intermediaries or hangers-on,” the chief minister posted on X. Mehdi, a firebrand leader, had on Sunday announced that he would be joining the student protest. With the Centre granting reservation to Pahari-speaking people in Jammu and Kashmir, the open merit category has been reduced to 30 per cent while 70 per cent of seats are reserved for various communities. Students, especially those undergoing training in medicine and surgery, have been protesting, saying the reservation policy promotes mediocrity where merit should reign supreme. Asked if he was satisfied with the outcome of the meeting between the students and the chief minister, the Lok Sabha member said his satisfaction was immaterial. “If the students are satisfied, I am satisfied. The good thing is that the process of the sub-committee has been made time-bound. Earlier it was open-ended,” Mehdi said. He said it was wrong to call the event a protest as it was “an assembly of people to discuss” the reservation policy. Several political leaders including Lok Sabha member from Baramulla Sheikh Abdul Rashid alias Engineer and leaders of arch-rival PDP — Waheed Para and Iltija Mufti — have supported the protest led by the leader of the ruling NC. Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, the chairman of the separatist Hurriyat Conference, has also called for “rationalisation” of reservations. PDP MLA from Pulwama Waheed Para in a post on X said he welcomes Mehdi’s decision to stand with the youth in “demanding rationality and fairness in reservation policies. This is a pivotal moment to address pressing grievances and ensure our policies are inclusive, youth-friendly, and just”. Para said at the heart of this matter lies the urgent and vehement demand for proportional representation, a system that allocates opportunities based on the socio-economic realities of communities, ensuring no group is disproportionately favoured or left behind. “Our demand is not antithetical to affirmative action, in fact, we are in favour of strengthening it. We believe that inclusion through reservation must go beyond tokenism to foster substantive equality. We believe in empowering marginalised communities to not just be present but to shape decisions and lead change. “However, let’s be clear: Merit must remain the bedrock of our systems. Reservations must serve only as targeted exceptions to bridge inequalities, not as tools for perpetual imbalance. Policies that reduce the majority to a minority are neither just nor sustainable,” he added. The Mirwaiz, in a post of X, said the issue of reservations should be addressed with justice and fairness by those in charge, safeguarding the interests of all segments of society and not at the expense of any one group. “The current status of reservations does that, by undermining the interests of the General/open merit category. Fervent appeal to address their concerns immediately! Support #openmeritstudentsassociation @OMSA_JK sit-in protest,” he said. The Mirwaiz said he would be part of the protests if allowed by authorities. “My delegation will be there to support. Will also raise the issue in #JamaMasjid whenever permitted to go,” he added. Awami Ittehad Party MLA Sheikh Khursheed and chief spokesman Inam un Nabi also joined the protests in support of “rationalisation” of reservations.
