MHSA takes action on realignment for football

Super Micro Computer 's stock soared more than 30% on Nov. 19 after it appointed a new independent auditor and submitted a compliance plan to Nasdaq to avoid a potential delisting. Those announcements addressed its two pressing issues: the departure of its auditor Ernst & Young in October, and a delayed filing for its 10-K report, which could cause its stock to be delisted. But even after that rally, Supermicro's stock remains 76% below its all-time high from this March. The server maker's shares are still being weighed down by concerns about its sliding gross margins, competition from bigger server makers like Dell Technologies and Hewlett Packard Enterprise , and troubling allegations of inflated revenues from a prolific short seller. Its delayed annual report and loss of Ernst & Young seemed to support that bearish thesis, and the Department of Justice (DOJ) is reportedly getting ready to probe Supermicro's business. Supermicro's stock looks dirt cheap at 8 times forward earnings , but it will likely trade at that discount until it fully resolves its accounting and regulatory issues. So instead of betting on Supermicro's long-shot turnaround, investors would probably be better off sticking with these two millionaire-maker blue chip AI stocks instead: Microsoft ( MSFT 1.00% ) and Broadcom ( AVGO 0.18% ) . The AI software leader: Microsoft Microsoft generated a total return of more than 900% over the past decade. That rally, which was mainly driven by the explosive growth of its cloud business, would have turned a $100,000 investment into more than $1 million. Microsoft turned into a growth stock again after Satya Nadella, who became its CEO in 2014, drove the company to transform its desktop-based software into cloud-based services and mobile apps. It also turned Azure into the world's second-largest cloud infrastructure platform and expanded its hardware and gaming businesses. Over the past five years, Microsoft ramped up its investments in OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, and integrated the start-up's generative AI tools into its own search and cloud services. Thanks to that foresight, it tethered more businesses and consumers to its cloud ecosystem, and it gained a first-mover's advantage against Alphabet 's Google and other tech giants in the nascent generative AI market. In fiscal 2024 (which ended this June), Microsoft's AI-driven transformation boosted its total cloud revenues by 23% to $135 billion -- which represented 55% of its top line. From fiscal 2024 to fiscal 2027, analysts expect its revenue and earnings per share (EPS) to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14% and 15%, respectively. Its stock still looks reasonably valued at 28 times next year's earnings, and it will likely remain a top play on the AI market for years to come. The AI chipmaking play: Broadcom Broadcom, which was known as Avago before it took over the original Broadcom in 2016, has generated a total return of 2,300% over the past 10 years. That rally would have turned a $50,000 investment into $1.2 million. Broadcom's semiconductor business sells a broad range of chips for the mobile, wireless, networking, data storage, and industrial markets. But over the past few years, it built a massive infrastructure software business by acquiring CA Technologies, Symantec's enterprise security division, and the cloud software giant VMware. Broadcom's chipmaking and software businesses are both growing. But over the past two years, its sales of networking and optical chips for the AI-oriented data center market skyrocketed as more companies upgraded their infrastructure. For fiscal 2024 (which ended in October), it expects its sales of AI-oriented chips to roughly triple to $12 billion, or nearly a quarter of its projected sales for the full year. That rapid growth should offset its slower sales of non-AI chips and infrastructure software, which are both more sensitive to macro headwinds. From fiscal 2024 to fiscal 2026, analysts expect Broadcom's revenue to grow at a CAGR of 15% as its EPS increases at a CAGR of 124%. That earnings growth should be driven by brisk sales of AI chips and the expansion of its higher-margin software business. Its stock might seem a bit pricey at 42 times forward earnings, but its track record of smart acquisitions, high exposure to the AI market, and robust growth could justify that higher valuation.Beed sarpanch murder: NCP's former tehsil chief Vishnu Chate's police remand extended till January 6

Published 16:47 IST, November 30th 2024 Bengaluru techie loses Rs 91 lakh in stock market scam; fraudsters used fake apps, lured with profits. Zerodha CEO Kamath shares safety tips. Bengaluru: A 39-year-old software engineer, Ranjan (name changed), lost nearly Rs 91 lakh in a sophisticated stock market scam involving fake trading apps and promises of massive returns. The incident highlights the growing menace of financial frauds, as noted by Zerodha CEO Nithin Kamath, who shared preventive tips and expressed concerns about scammers leveraging artificial intelligence. How the Scam Unfolded The ordeal began when Ranjan (Name Changed) received a WhatsApp message offering stock market training and asking him to vote for fraudsters in a so-called "Global AI Smart Trading Competition." He was added to a Telegram group where a person named Chandra Takal, claiming to be a trading expert, provided guidance on trading strategies and directed him to download two apps. One app displayed investment and profit details, while the other, named Dwaai, facilitated transactions. Initially, Ranjan was lured with small profits of 5-10% on his trades. Convinced by the returns, he invested progressively larger amounts and even participated in IPOs under the Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIB) category, with promises of at least 50% profit on listing day. When Ranjan's investment reached ₹28 lakh, he was persuaded to borrow funds through a fraudulent banking app. His total investments eventually reached ₹91 lakh. The scammers then blocked his access to the app, claiming he needed to repay a ₹63 lakh loan before selling his "IPO stocks." Despite paying the demanded amount, further withdrawal attempts were blocked under the pretext of foreign transaction fees and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations. Realizing he had been defrauded, Ranjan approached the police. Kamath’s Warnings and Tips Highlighting the rise of financial scams, Zerodha CEO Nithin Kamath stated, "The trend of these frauds is increasing. The past 9 months alone have had scams worth ₹11,000 crores! I dread to think what it will be like once the fraudsters use AI. 😔" Kamath advised users to safeguard their digital presence, suggesting, "Change the settings on your WhatsApp and Telegram so strangers can't add you to groups. Here's screenshots of the settings screen that show how to do it." Scammers’ Modus Operandi Scammers often lure victims by mimicking legitimate platforms. “You are asked to install fake trading apps that look exactly like those of major brokers. On the first couple of trades, you will make money. This is designed to convince you that you can make a lot of money,” Kamath explained. Legal Action Initiated The East CEN Crime Police have registered a case under the Information Technology Act and Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) Section 318 (cheating). Investigations are underway to trace the fraudsters and recover the lost funds. This case underscores the importance of verifying the authenticity of trading platforms and exercising caution in digital interactions to avoid falling victim to similar scams.

BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts’ reliance on hotels and motels to shelter homeless people will be phased out in the next couple of years, Gov. Maura Healey said Friday, outlining changes to the state’s emergency family shelter system. The Democratic governor said the changes would help more families find stable, permanent housing and help manage costs. Healey said the emergency assistance system has remained steady at around 7,500 families with up to 40 families initially seeking shelter per day. In recent months, that average has fallen to about 15-18 families per day, she said. “In recent years, the state’s family shelter system has grown to be increasingly unsustainable,” Healey said in a statement. “We’ve taken significant action to rein in its growth, and we’ve seen tangible results.” Last year, Healey declared a state of emergency, capping shelter capacity at 7,500 families. The state has also barred homeless families from sleeping overnight at Logan International Airport in Boston. Healey said the state will be phasing out the use of hotels and motels to shelter homeless people during the 2025 and 2026 fiscal years. The facilities lack the space for services and can be isolating, Healey said. She said providers will work with families to find safe and stable housing. The administration will also push to increase the state’s temporary rental subsidy, Healey said. Under the proposed change, families will be eligible for up to $25,000 of rental assistance per year for two years. The current benefit is a total of $30,000 over two or $45,000 over three years. Beginning Dec. 10, homeless families will be placed on either a “Rapid Shelter Track” or “Bridge Shelter Track” depending on their needs, Healey said. The Rapid Shelter Track is aimed at families who have the resources to quickly find permanent housing. They will be offered 30 days of support to receive help with transitioning quickly to stable housing. The Bridge Shelter Track is meant for families with more complex needs who may take longer to find permanent housing – including women with late-term pregnancies and people with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Gladys Vega, president of La Colaborativa, an immigrant aid organization in Chelsea, Massachusetts, said it’s critical to maintain a safety net for those struggling to find housing they can afford. Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. “As rental prices continue to rise, families across the commonwealth are increasingly finding themselves unable to sustain the cost of housing,” Vega said. “Many Massachusetts residents are a single paycheck away from homelessness.” Massachusetts has struggled to deal with a spike in demand for homeless services — in part due to the influx of migrants to the state. In June, Healey announced that beginning Aug. 1, families not prioritized for placement in emergency assistance shelters would be eligible to stay at overflow sites for just five days. Healey said she was tightening restrictions on emergency assistance system eligibility because of the system’s “continuing capacity constraints” and the need to protect its financial sustainability Beginning June 1, the state also began limiting how long homeless families can stay in shelters to nine months. After that, families are eligible for up to two 90-day extensions. Advertisement AdvertisementAmerican ski racer Mikaela Shiffrin is alert and doing OK after crashing hard during her second run of a World Cup giant slalom race on Saturday in Killington, Vermont. The 29-year old Shiffrin, the winningest skier in World Cup history, had been in pursuit of her 100th career victory when the accident occurred. After leading the first run of the giant slalom, Shiffrin was approaching the finish line when she lost grip on her outside ski, hitting a gate and then flipping over before sliding into another gate and being stopped by protective fencing at the edge of the course. Shiffrin remained down for some time before eventually being taken off the hill on a sled. Shiffrin gave a wave to the crowd to signal that she was OK. She later posted on social media that she is going to be fine. "Not really too much cause for concern at this point, I just can't move. I have a pretty good abrasion," Shiffrin said while showing a doctor working on the abrasion. "So I just can't move. I'm so sorry to scare everybody. It looks like all scans so far are clear. Thank you for the support and concern. And congratulations to the winners and my team." Quite the bummer at the world cup today. Though there hasn't been official word yet as to Shiffrin's condition, she won't be going for the 100th win tomorrow. Best wishes to her for a quick rebound. pic.twitter.com/wm7t2X24pG Shiffrin was left with only the 19th DNF of her World Cup career, and the first since all the way back in January 2018. Shiffrin has made 275 career World Cup starts with a record 99 victories, a mark she set nearly two full years ago after surpassing Ingemar Stenmark. Reigning Olympic champion Sara Hector went on to win Saturday's race in a combined time of 1 minute, 53.08 seconds.COLUMBUS, Ohio — A fight broke out at midfield after Michigan stunned No. 2 Ohio State 13-10 on Saturday as Wolverines players attempted to plant their flag and were met by Buckeyes who confronted them. Police had to use pepper spray to break up the players, who threw punches and shoves in the melee that overshadowed the rivalry game. Ohio State police said in a statement “multiple officers representing Ohio and Michigan deployed pepper spray.” Ohio State police will investigate the fight, according to the statement. After the Ohio State players confronted their bitter rivals at midfield, defensive end Jack Sawyer grabbed the top of the Wolverines’ flag and ripped it off the pole as the brawl moved toward the Michigan bench. Eventually, police officers rushed into the ugly scene. Ohio State coach Ryan Day said he understood the actions of his players. “There are some prideful guys on our team who weren’t going to sit back and let that happen,” Day said. The two Ohio State players made available after the game brushed off questions about it. Michigan running back Kalel Mullings, who rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown, didn’t like how the Buckeyes players involved themselves in the Wolverines’ postgame celebration. He called it “classless.” “For such a great game, you hate to see stuff like that after the game,” he said in an on-field interview with Fox Sports. “It’s just bad for the sport, bad for college football. But at the end of the day, you know some people got to — they got to learn how to lose, man. ... We had 60 minutes, we had four quarters, to do all that fighting.” Michigan coach Sherrone Moore said everybody needs to do better. “So much emotions on both sides,” he said. “Rivalry games get heated, especially this one. It’s the biggest one in the country, so we got to handle that better.”
