FAA Ground Stop, Anthropic IPO and What to Expect From Nvidia and Nike Next Week

  • Nationwide FAA ground stop hit airlines after hours while cybersecurity names caught bids
  • Traders split on Anthropic's IPO: 17x sales versus SpaceX's 100x, with commoditization risk flagged
  • Peter Boockvar sees peak AI capex by 2027, rotating toward staples like Kimberly-Clark
  • Nike investor day preview with the stock at 13-year lows; desk picked Deere and J&J over Apple at 40x

The defensive rotation argument got concrete here: if AI capex peaks in 2027, the picks-and-shovels trade loses its bid first and staples absorb the flows. The desk's valuation game landed the same way, favoring Deere, Coca-Cola and Johnson & Johnson over richly priced tech, and few on the panel believe Nike's new CEO reverses share losses at next week's investor day.

Bloomberg Businessweek Weekend - November 13th, 2026

  • Ed Ludlow on Jensen Huang's ouster from Nvidia, his limited equity stake and the DOJ espionage probe
  • NYSE's Lynn Martin on settling tokenized stocks via Avalanche and the push to 23x5 trading
  • Fable Studio's Edward Saatchi on an AI-generated feature film made by 30 people in nine months
  • Bloomberg's Chris Palmeri sees GTA 6 at up to 40 million units and $3 billion in early retail sales

The concrete call here is on Take-Two: Palmeri frames GTA 6 as a $3 billion opening act and the company as the last dominant pure-play publisher as the industry consolidates. The Nvidia segment cuts the other way, with leadership now interim and a federal espionage probe running into an earnings report.

Costco closed at $1,106.21, a new high that sits 1.25% above the peak it set back on May 19, clearing a six-month ceiling. Walmart rose 1.51% the same day.

    Sam's Club has always been a weakling compared to Costco. The average sales per year of a Sam's Club location — a tiny fraction of the average sales of a Costco location.

NVIDIA Fallout, Chip Volatility and the Case for 60/40

  • Panel split on Nvidia after Huang's resignation: bulls cite a forward multiple near 10 and 300 billion in free cash flow
  • Kevin Simpson sold half his Nvidia at a 20% loss on price-action rules, buying at $200 and exiting in the $160s
  • Nvidia board reportedly approached Arm CEO Rene Haas as successor; Arista flagged as clearest chip beneficiary
  • Retail earnings week ahead for Home Depot, Walmart, Costco, TJX and AutoZone, with weak consumer sentiment a drag

The committee can't agree on what a leaderless Nvidia is worth: one member mechanically dumped half his stake at a 20% loss while another is putting new client money in at these levels. With earnings next week, the next report settles the argument.

Nvidia Fallout, AI Financing Risk and Apple’s Safe-Haven Surge

  • Jensen Huang's exit leaves Nvidia down nearly a third from its $6 trillion peak, with the vendor-financing web in question
  • DA Davidson's Gil Lauria keeps a Buy but cuts his target to $200, preferring AMD, Broadcom and Micron near term
  • 10-year yields above 5.1% make neocloud financing costlier; NScale's S1 shows $5.5B of debt
  • Apple at 39x forward earnings framed as a Costco- or Walmart-style safe haven

Capital is rotating within the AI trade, moving from the Nvidia complex toward AMD and Micron, while Apple gets priced like a staple on 90% iPhone loyalty and almost no AI capex. The pressure point is funding costs, with debt-heavy neocloud borrowers the first to feel a higher 10-year yield.

NVIDIA Fallout, Anthropic IPO and Hot CPI Hit Markets

  • Panel calls Nvidia's slide quant-driven, not fundamental, with analyst targets barely moving and Microsoft retaking the market cap lead
  • Josh Brown: AI isn't one trade, pointing to Amazon up 17% year to date against Nvidia's decline
  • Anthropic marketing its IPO at $70-$78 for a $1.4T valuation, oversubscribed, with AMD, Nvidia and Microsoft in the placements
  • Claude's new Sheets, Whiteboards and Meetings tools knocked Microsoft and other software names lower on the spot

Anthropic going public at a $1.4 trillion target while shipping office software makes Microsoft both an investor in and a target of its own holding. Nvidia is in buyback blackout until its November earnings report, so it cannot defend itself as hot CPI lifts the two-year yield.

"This Market Genuinely Makes no Sense" First time here?

A 166-comment argument over whether AI chipmakers and hyperscalers at teens-to-low-20s P/E are now cheaper than Wingstop, Cava and Starbucks at 34 to 100-plus. The pushback is worth reading: defensive and restaurant multiples only look safe until you price the growth you are paying for.

Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 11/2/26

  • Oil's drop pulled long rates down, lifting Amazon, Capital One, JP Morgan, Costco and Walmart on no company news
  • Non-tech growth is where the money went: medical devices like Medtronic and Intuitive Surgical, plus staples Pepsi and P&G
  • Apple's record September quarter beat on iPhone and Mac, but Cramer expects the stock lower short term on guidance
  • Oracle filed to raise $20 billion days after saying it would limit raises; Intel seen losing PC share to AMD

The call is that falling long rates are repricing everything outside tech right now rather than earnings, and Cramer says growth stocks away from semis are the clean way to play it. He is warning Apple holders that guidance will disappoint even after a record quarter, and he is openly annoyed at Oracle for raising capital immediately after promising restraint.

If you write enough reviews, Walmart may start sending you free stuff to review

u/LouisXIV_ 175 upvotes18 comments

You aren’t getting anything for “free.” You’ve been on an extended unpaid tryout, writing reviews of dozens of items. Now that you’ve “gotten the job,” you’re getting paid in socks and lightbulbs.

Walmart's invite-only reviewer program hands out furniture, appliances and e-bikes, but Amazon Vine veterans in the thread warn the haul gets reported to the IRS as income. Free merchandise paid for with unpaid hours and a tax bill is a trade worth pricing before you take it.
