LONDON - Resurgent Arsenal romped to a 5-2 victory at capital rivals West Ham United in a Premier League derby on Nov 30, with all seven goals coming in a mind-boggling first half in the evening kickoff at the London Stadium. Gabriel’s trademark ninth-minute header opened the floodgates and Arsenal ran riot, with Leandro Trossard tapping in after 26 minutes before Martin Odegaard’s penalty and Kai Havertz’s cool finish in the space of a minute sent some home fans heading for the exits. Incredibly, West Ham responded almost immediately, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka slotting home before a stunning free kick by Emerson offered hope of an unlikely comeback. But Arsenal were awarded a second penalty of the game in first-half stoppage and this time Bukayo Saka stepped up to dispatch his spot kick past Lukasz Fabianski. By comparison the second half was something of an anti-climax as Arsenal cruised to the win that moved them up to second in the table with 25 points, six behind leaders Liverpool who host struggling champions Manchester City on Dec 1. Arsenal have now scored 13 goals in their last three games as they return to form in spectacular fashion after a slump which had some writing off their title chances. “I was happier with the first 30 minutes rather than the last 15 minutes of the first half that’s for sure,” said Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, whose side beat Sporting 5-1 away in the Champions League this week. “We started incredibly well, so positive, so much energy and a lot of quality. Immediately after we scored the fourth we conceded a sloppy one and an unbelievable free kick and then it was game on. Thank goodness we scored the fifth and we were able to manage the game in the second half.” Cruise control For the second season running, Arsenal went to West Ham and dished out a humiliation. In 2023, they won 6-0 and the way they began on Nov 30 they looked like surpassing that. As it was, all the fireworks arrived before halftime and they ended in cruise control with West Ham’s Danny Ings even going close to salvaging some more home pride late on. It was only the fourth time in a Premier League match that seven goals had been scored in the first period, the last occasion being Reading against Manchester United in 2012. While Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was purring at his side’s display, West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui, who was forced to watch from the stands because of a touchline ban, is back under pressure after having appeared to turn the corner with his side’s win at Newcastle United on Nov 25. West Ham are 14th in the table and have now lost four times at home in the league this season under the Spaniard, who replaced David Moyes in May. Lopetegui would surely have told his players about the threat from Gabriel at set pieces but they clearly were not heeding when he met Saka’s corner with a deft header. Arsenal oozed confidence early on and their second goal was a masterclass as Saka and Odegaard combined to tee up Trossard for a close-range finish. A slaloming Saka was then taken down in the area and Odegaard made it 3-0 before a sublime pass from Trossard sent Havertz clear to beat Fabianski with a clinical finish. The game was as good as over and, despite a brief retaliation, West Ham were never really in it. When Fabianski came out to punch a corner but connected with Gabriel instead, Saka slotted in the penalty to restore order for the visitors.

Investing in the stock market is crucial for maintaining spending power and hedging against inflation. A diversified portfolio is a better long-term strategy for preserving wealth than holding cash. Extreme highs and lows in your portfolio and fixating on the short-term are signs you may be underinvesting. The US stock market continues to soar through the final quarter of the year, with major indexes like the Dow Jones, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 hitting record closes on Wednesday. Investors remain optimistic following Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's comment that the US economy seems to be in "remarkably good shape." Now is a better time than ever to invest in the market. Here are four signs you're not investing enough in the stock market, according to financial advisors. 1. You keep everything in cash Holding onto your cash may seem like the safer option compared to risking it on the market. But in actuality, your money is losing value due to inflation diminishing the purchasing power of the US dollar. "Even though cash yields are better than five or six years ago, they're still low compared to inflation," Tom Graff, chief investment officer at Facet , told Business Insider. "By holding onto cash, you're functionally not making any money." The best way to combat inflation and preserve wealth is by investing in a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, and other securities. The S&P 500 index, a popular stock market benchmark, has a historic average annual return of 10% that far outperforms the US inflation rate of 2.6%. Savings accounts, on the other hand, only have an average return of 0.43% APY . That said, your bank account is still the right place for money you know you need to pay off short-term expenses like rent, groceries, and debt. Only invest money you won't need access to for at least several years. "We've all felt inflation over the last several years eat away at our earnings and our spending power," Corbin Blackwell, senior financial planner at Betterment , told BI. "You aren't getting anything from your savings account, but investing keeps pace with inflation." 2. You're experiencing extreme highs and lows in your portfolio "One sign that you're not investing enough in the stock market is if you're experiencing extreme highs and lows every time you look at your portfolio's performance," said Blackwell. Being thoroughly invested in the market doesn't necessarily mean buying more stocks or increasing the size of your portfolio, she says. Rather, it refers to diversifying your assets to gain exposure from multiple areas of the market. Someone who owns 100 shares of different technology companies is less diversified than someone who owns half that amount of shares but has exposure to a mix of market sectors like health care, real estate, financials, tech, and communication services. Similar to a roller coaster, an investment portfolio that lacks proper diversification is vulnerable to frequent market swings. These extreme highs, although thrilling, prevent your portfolio from growing at a steady and reliable pace. Instead, you're at greater risk of a major loss. Diversifying your investments across various market sectors is a proven strategy to mitigate risk and enhance your portfolio's performance. By spreading your investments, you can better weather market fluctuations and capitalize on opportunities in different sectors. "You don't need to spend a lot of money to have a diversified portfolio," said Blackwell. "You can buy a share of an ETF , which is already diversified in and of itself. But you shouldn't just buy one ETF, either." Don't know where to start? Finding a financial advisor doesn't have to be hard. SmartAsset's free tool matches you with up to three fiduciary financial advisors that serve your area in minutes. Each advisor has been vetted by SmartAsset and is held to a fiduciary standard to act in your best interests. Start your search now. 3. You never increase your retirement contributions At the beginning of your working career, you likely could only contribute a small percentage of your paycheck to your 401(k) or another of the best retirement plans . But did you increase your contributions the last time you got a raise? As you make more money, contribute more toward your retirement plan to make up for the years you could only contribute a little. This is especially important if your employer offers a match, as this is essentially free money. Although retirement may feel light years away, time is paramount as retirement savings steadily grow with compound interest and long-term investment opportunities. As mentioned before, holding onto loads of cash diminishes its spending power. Blackwell noted that investing is a crucial step in securing retirement as you can't get back that time that you missed, and relying on Social Security alone isn't recommended. "If you don't have any help in the form of investment gains and compound interest, you're going to have a really hard time affording that retirement, especially when life expectancy is so long," said Blackwell 4. You're focused on short-term volatility rather than long-term gains Another sign of underinvesting is if you find yourself holding back from participating in the current market due to its short-term volatility. The market's daily fluctuations can look intimidating, especially if you're new to stock investing, but not all volatility is bad. Blackwell explains that financial advisors prefer people to invest long-term as many opportunities need time in the market to accumulate gains. "Investing isn't about the big wins," She said. "There's not enough certainty in any portfolio to only benefit from the upside. It's always a risk, return trade-off." Graff notes that current economic and political factors impact people's perspective and optimism about the market and the US economy as a whole. However, those circumstances generally impact the short-term rather than the actual long-term potential of the average investor's portfolio. "There's always something, and when the market has been up a lot, anything that goes wrong could be a downturn," said Graff. "At some point there's going to be a bear market again, but timing that is so difficult." At the end of the day, there's no better time to invest in the market than the present, as you risk missing out on growth opportunities by focusing on the short term instead of having a long-term perspective. Moreover, long-term investing is generally less risky and provides opportunities for recovery from market downturns. "It's not fair to tell investors not to worry about problems like inflation. Instead, the real advice is to use that time to your advantage," said Graff. Credit cards Investing apps Retirement savings Cryptocurrency The stock market Retail investing

Editor’s note: The headline of this story was updated to correct an error related to the reported day of the week. On Monday, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services posted final payment determinations for its 2025 Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule. Included was a final decision related to CMS pricing for Exact Sciences Corp’s (NASDAQ: EXAS ) Cologuard Plus, a second-generation test that received FDA approval in October . William Blair writes that the determinations effectively raise reimbursement by 16% versus the current Medicare rate for the first-generation Cologuard test (to $592 for Cologuard Plus from $509 for Cologuard). Also Read: Colorectal Cancer Diagnostic Focused Exact Sciences Stock Plunges On Weak Annual Guidance, Analyst Sees Compelling Long-Term Entry Point The determination reverses the September preliminary decision but aligns with a proposal made during the public comment period. The analyst writes that reimbursement for Cologuard Plus will now be calculated based on two components: three times the fee for methylation analysis of Septin-9 ($192 x 3) and the fee for a FIT test ($15.92). This pricing adjustment is expected to take effect for Medicare volumes when the test officially launches in late first quarter or early second quarter of 2025. Medicare fee-for-service volumes should reflect the new pricing immediately upon launch, with Medicare Advantage following soon after. The company is also likely to renegotiate commercial contracts for higher pricing, which may gradually roll out over the coming quarters and years. William Blair reiterates the Outperform rating on the stock. The analyst highlights that the update is a positive outcome for the company, as it simplifies the process of implementing a price increase compared to the more complex advanced diagnostic laboratory test (ADLT) pathway. From a financial perspective, this decision is expected to support a moderate pricing boost starting in 2025. Based on William Blair’s estimates, this could add at least 300 basis points to Cologuard's growth rate next year, which is projected to be around 15% overall. Exact Sciences said it will present 10 abstracts demonstrating the breadth of its Precision Oncology portfolio at the 2024 annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium scheduled next month . Price Action: EXAS stock is up 7.60% at $59.33 at last check Tuesday.

A smiling Trudeau was seen exiting a hotel in West Palm Beach before rolling out in a motorcade later seen by media to be entering Mar-a-Lago. Flight trackers had first spotted a jet broadcasting the prime minister’s callsign en route to the southern US state in an unannounced visit. A Canadian government official later told AFP that the two leaders were dining together. The trip comes after Trump sent shockwaves across Canada when he announced pending import tariffs against neighbors Canada and Mexico, and also rival China, in social media posts on Monday. More than three-quarters of Canadian exports, or Can$592.7 billion ($423 billion), went to the United States last year, and nearly two million Canadian jobs are dependent on trade. A Canadian government source told AFP that Canada is considering possible retaliatory tariffs against the United States. According to the website Flightradar, the Canadian leader’s plane landed at Palm Beach International Airport late in the afternoon. Canadian public broadcaster CBC said that Trudeau’s public safety minister, Dominic LeBlanc was accompanying him on the trip. Some have suggested Trump’s tariff threat may be bluster, or an opening salvo in future trade negotiations. But Trudeau rejected those views when he spoke with reporters earlier in Prince Edward Island province. “Donald Trump, when he makes statements like that, he plans on carrying them out,” Trudeau said. “There’s no question about it.” (AFP) Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.None
