| Do you think college coaches should leave a team right before the playoffs?Coaching moves are part of the college football world, but leaving a program right before the postseason always sparks debate. Some argue it's a coach's right to pursue a major opportunity the moment it arrives, while others believe loyalty and timing sho | | | | | | 📈 U.S. Stock Market Snapshot | 📈 U.S. Stock Market — December 1, 2025 | Markets opened December on a cautious note: futures for S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite and Dow Jones Industrial Average slid modestly overnight, reflecting some profit-taking after a strong end to November. The backdrop: traders remain focused on key events ahead — including fresh manufacturing, inflation (Core PCE), and labor market data that could reshape expectations for a rate cut from Federal Reserve later this month.
| 🔁 November's End & What's Driving Investor Mood | In the week ending with the holiday-shortened session, markets rebounded: the S&P 500 jumped nearly 3.7%, and Nasdaq-heavy indexes bounced after volatility earlier in the month. Despite that rebound, the tech-heavy Nasdaq logged its first monthly loss since March — a sign that investors remain wary of elevated valuations, especially in AI and megacap tech stocks.
| 🔎 What to Watch This Week | Key economic data releases — manufacturing PMI/ISM, inflation via Core PCE, and labor market reports — are on tap. These could heavily sway rate-cut expectations and set the tone for year-end trading. Corporate earnings, especially among technology and enterprise-software firms (including those tied to AI), plus consumer spending and holiday retail data, could further influence market direction as 2025 winds down.
