Blue🔵 may have won in the USA, but red🔴 is dominating the markets today. Here’s what the S&P 500 index looks like now:
🚨 AI BLOODBATH: Chip stocks just had their worst day since March 2020. The post-election rally is gone in 24 hours. Investors fear a Democratic Congress could slow the AI data-center buildout, and the selling spread to every sector. 📉 Nasdaq -5.3% (intraday), now in correction…
$RHM.DE is down 17.5%! It’s now 59% below its ATH. But why is it falling? Rheinmetall expects revenue of around €13.2 billion this year, down from its previous forecast of €13.7–14.2 billion. Its operating margin estimate was cut from 19% to 18.5%.

Bitcoin $BTCUSD at $877,000 by 2028? This isn’t a prediction, it’s a lottery ticket
Various predictions about where Bitcoin will be in a few years are circulating online. One made me laugh: one Bitcoin is supposed to jump from about $75,700 today to $877,000 by 2028. I worked out what that would mean (data as of 6. 11. 2026).
📌 PRICE ISN’T THE WHOLE STORY More important than the…
BLACK Wall Street had its worst day since spring 2025, and the Japanese yen barely budged. That’s not good news. The biggest pile of cheap borrowed money in thirty years hasn’t moved yet, and December offers two reasons why it might.
Regular income from investments is attracting more and more investors, and funds with double-digit dividend yields are among the most sought-after products on the market. But a high figure in the yield column alone says nothing about how much an investor will actually earn. Behind seemingly similar…
🚨 Airbnb $ABNB beats and raises as travel demand accelerates.
📊 EPS $3.16 vs ~$2.85 expected
📊 Revenue $4.87B (+19% YoY) vs $4.75B expected…
The market sent Uber to a yearly low out of fear that robotaxis will take away its business. The results revealed a different problem: the company is short on drivers. And the very thing investors fear is also the only thing that could solve it.
One more update from this week that shows yet another reason why investors are “afraid” of high investment and debt at the expense of AI.
$META issued euro-denominated bonds for the first time in its history this week. And, perhaps unsurprisingly, it reported record demand. Investors placed orders worth around 53 billion euros, the most for any corporate bond issue in Europe.…
Do you have $META shares in your portfolio?
A company raising the price of its own product, with more than a third of its revenue under contract through 2030, is trading at less than nine times earnings. Either this is the biggest bargain in AI, or the market knows something about its customers that the numbers don’t show yet.
Americans are moving at the slowest pace in at least a decade because of expensive mortgages, and are instead investing in homes they already own. An aging housing stock creates steady demand for repairs, but uncertainty and more expensive borrowing are still holding back large discretionary…
🔴📉U.S. stocks had their worst day since April 2025 yesterday. The S&P 500 shed 4.4%, the Dow Jones lost 3.4%, and the Nasdaq plunged 5.5%.
The Nasdaq has now entered correction territory, sitting nearly 12% below its all-time high and falling below its 200-day moving average for the first time since April. In a single session, it erased the entire post-election rally from…
🚨 Asia catches the AI contagion — Nikkei just entered a bear market.
Japan's Nikkei 225 closed down 6.0% at 57,411, more than 20% below its June peak. Korea's KOSPI fell 6.0% after an earlier plunge exceeding 8% triggered a circuit breaker. SoftBank slid about 11.6%.
The selling follows Thursday's US chip rout: Nasdaq -5.5%, SOXX -12.25%.…
The day after the election, which the market celebrated with a record rally, came a hard fall. The Nasdaq slid into correction territory, Nvidia lost around 8%, and retail investors, who had spent years buying every dip, sold the most since March 2020.
Pfizer raised its outlook, the stock is near its yearly high, and a 5.6% yield is tempting. But most of the surprise came from a drug nearing the end of its patent protection, and the new CFO named capital markets among the sources of funding for the dividend.
4.6% fewer people visited U.S. locations, and U.S. sales fell for the first time in five quarters. Yet the stock jumped 6.5%. The market is clearly paying for something other than fries—and that is exactly what makes it a defensive portfolio holding.
🚀 AppLovin $APP just crushed Q3 and guided higher, and the stock is up ~16% pre-market.
📊 EPS $4.30 vs ~$4.04 est. | Revenue $2.19B (+55% YoY) vs ~$2.08B | Q4 guide $2.365–2.395B vs ~$2.25B consensus. $1.4B of free cash flow, and the buyback was raised by $3.2B.
🟢 Bull case: 84% EBITDA margins, AI ad models still rolling out, and e-commerce/consumer advertisers growing at triple…
The race for artificial intelligence has long since become more than just a battle of technologies. It has become a battle for capital. Data centers, chips, and production lines cost hundreds of billions of dollars, and companies’ own cash often isn’t enough to pay for them. So companies borrow in…
Lawsuits over the forever chemicals that have haunted 3M for more than a decade are nearing an end. The company will pay $7.35 billion, and shares of $MMM responded by rising as much as 10%.
Who would have thought in 2022 that $MMM would be trading near its ATH four years later? I did buy the shares back then, but clearly sold too early, albeit at a profit. Yesterday, the…
BLACK On the modern battlefield, what matters is how quickly an army detects a threat, evaluates the data, and deploys the right asset. Radars, electronic warfare, interceptors, drones, and military software are therefore becoming the fastest-growing parts of defense budgets. That makes it crucial to…
📊 $QCOM beats… then drops 7% after hours.
Qualcomm posted adj. EPS of $2.17 (vs $2.16 est.) on revenue of $10.44B (vs $10.11B), but handset chip sales fell 26% YoY as the memory shortage crushes smartphone demand. The Q1 EPS guide midpoint of $2.25 came in below the $2.27 consensus.
🟢 Bull case: Automotive +89%, the data center ramp (Amazon AWS custom chips, the Starlink deal),…
The Fed raised rates for the first time since 2023, and the market started selling banks that, according to the textbook, should benefit. But Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, and Wells Fargo each got a completely different bill from the Fed. One of them may even profit from it.
I don’t have to call the bottom. I just need to buy a quality business at a reasonable price
In the stock market, I don’t try to guess the exact day when a price will hit bottom. It’s always easier to see in hindsight than in real time. What matters more to me is finding a quality business, understanding why the market doesn’t like it right now, and judging whether the price…
🚀 AMD $AMD SHOCKS THE MARKET! Revenue is up 45% and the 2027 outlook is incredible!
AMD released its third-quarter 2026 results and once again managed to beat analysts’ expectations. But the biggest surprise wasn’t the figures themselves—it was the company’s management outlook for the coming period.
📊 AMD’s key results (Q3 2026)…
Why are the markets so wild today?
I’d like to sum up what’s happening today, but there’s an enormous amount putting pressure on stock prices. So many things are weighing on the market at once that different sectors are moving in completely opposite directions.
The main trigger is the Democrats, who have taken control of both chambers of Congress as well as the governorship of…
Markets rise after the election, but some AI-linked stocks are falling. What are investors actually valuing?
Today’s S&P500 map shows major differences. Amazon and Microsoft are rising, while several suppliers of chips, cooling systems, and electrical equipment are falling. The same political change can affect different parts of the industry in different ways.
The broader market…
