Mad Money: Wall Street Jargon, Cyclicals, GARP & Corrections 11/13/26
- Cramer defines cyclicals as economy-dependent: miners like BHP, autos, homebuilders, commodity chemicals
- Secular growers are the recession-proof side: Procter & Gamble, General Mills, Pfizer, Merck, Eli Lilly
- He flags GLP-1 drugs as the one threat to the eat-and-drink-forever staples thesis
- Caller advice: 70% stocks even for older investors, and ease idle IRA cash in one-twelfth a month
The practical call is positioning: own more cyclicals when business is booming and lean on staples and drugmakers when growth rolls over. Cramer says sector membership now drives well over half of a stock's move thanks to sector ETFs, so being in the wrong camp costs you even when the company executes.
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.
Inside Jensen Huang’s Final Hours as Nvidia CEO
- Ian King: board had no choice once the affair involved an employee; only one sell rating remains on Nvidia</list-item>
- Arm CEO Rene Haas floated as a successor; CFO Colette Kress and team holding things together for now
- Seoul bureau: Samsung and SK Hynix relationships ran through Huang, and they are half the Kospi
- Joe Wiesenthal on Mega Speed, neocloud GPU access, and the unwritten rules on Chinese firms renting chips abroad
The bull case now rests entirely on Nvidia's engineers rather than its frontman: reporters argue the chips, CUDA and the customer queue outlast Huang, while analysts have yet to downgrade. The open risk is relational, since supplier ties in Korea and Taiwan were personal, and Washington scrutiny of chips reaching Chinese users through offshore neoclouds is only starting.
Guzzle Velocity: Celsius and the Energy Drink Explosion
- Hough: Q3 earnings growth of 34%, with 20x earnings 'not extravagantly expensive'
- Energy drinks now a $25B US market; Celsius rose 28,000% then gave back two-thirds
- Franklin Templeton's Kate Lakin calls Aon and Arthur J. Gallagher AI winners at low-teens EBITDA multiples
- Lakin backs Microsoft on ~50% Azure growth and Royal Caribbean on cruise underpenetration
The energy drink debate lands on whether Celsius's two-thirds drawdown from a 28,000% run is a broken story or a reset entry into a $25 billion category. On the picks side, Lakin's contrarian read is that insurance brokers stand to gain from AI, and that only 35 million people cruise versus 100 million visiting Disney World and Vegas.

As of Sep 30, 2026 · disclosed Nov 13, 2026 · ~45 days stale — may not reflect current positions.
Alex Sacerdote's Whale Rock, up nearly 73% this year on tech bets, disclosed Microsoft as a new position as of September 30, making it roughly 3.9% of the portfolio. Apple was among four names no longer reported at quarter-end, alongside fresh stakes in Salesforce, HPE and Okta.
AI Economy Roiled by Nvidia CEO Huang’s Departure
- Emily Chang's four-day European shoot turned out to be Huang's final major interview as CEO
- Ed Ludlow: Huang keeps no future association with Nvidia; DOJ espionage probe and a second employee relationship reported
- Founders100 ETF CIO says the fund must sell its Nvidia stake, its third-largest at over 6%, within 90 days
- CFO Colette Kress steps in as interim; outside search underway, with Tim Cook floated per Trump administration signals
Founder-led index rules are now a mechanical seller of Nvidia: one ETF has 90 days to exit a position that was over 6% of the fund. The succession picture is unsettled, with a career CFO holding the seat on an interim basis and the shortlist reaching as far as Apple's chief executive.
Instant Reaction: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Ousted by Nvidia Board
- CFO Colette Kress named interim chief, with Bloomberg Intelligence expecting her to hold the job one to two quarters
- Mandeep Singh: no successor easily replicates Huang's ecosystem deal-making or TSMC and supply chain ties
- CUDA creator Ian Buck floated as the leading internal candidate given Nvidia's six-month chip cadence
- Anurag Rana ranks the AI chip race Nvidia first, then Google, Amazon, Microsoft, with the gap now easier to close
The succession question is no longer hypothetical, and the analyst read is that an interim CFO running the company buys hyperscalers time to push their own silicon. If you own Nvidia for its ecosystem lock-in, a leadership vacuum is now testing that moat. The Tim Cook comparison came up, and nobody on the panel treated it as settled.
Take-Two Releasing Long-Awaited Grand Theft Auto VI Next Week
- Palmeri pegs up to 40 million console units in the first months, roughly $3 billion in retail sales
- Analyst estimate cited: about $600 million in profit for Take-Two from the early window alone
- Online version could add about 60 million monthly users on top of console and PC sales
- Industry consolidating like Hollywood: layoffs, studio closures, bets only on proven franchises
The Nov. 19 launch is the single biggest swing factor in Take-Two's fiscal year, and Bloomberg's numbers frame it as a profit event. The same consolidation that concentrates spending on a handful of franchises is why rivals cleared the quarter rather than compete with it.
