Jim Cramer thinks investors have gone too far.
As the tech slump dragged into a new week, the CNBC host said in a post on X that the negativity around Marvell, Apple, and Palantir "is pretty thick," adding, "No matter what they say, it isn't enough."
He made the remark as all three stocks slid on Nov. 2.
His comments landed in a rough market. Chip and memory stocks have lost about $3.7 trillion in market value since Oct. 6, and Intel suffered its worst day since 1974 on Oct. 30, falling nearly 29% after a disappointing forecast.
The chip group shed more than $400 billion on Nov. 2 alone, as reported by Yahoo Finance. In a market this nervous, even good news is getting sold.

Social media influencers have made owning a laundromat look like an easy way to make money, with videos showing buckets of quarters and stacks of cash rolling in. But some aspiring entrepreneurs who bought into the hype are finding out the hard way that these businesses are costly to maintain, and the income is anything but passive.
In a new report, The Wall Street Journal examined the growing popularity of laundromat ownership on social media, where videos of owners collecting cash have attracted millions of views. What gets far less attention are the expenses and day-to-day headaches that come with running one.

Amazon (AMZN) is teaming up with Uber Eats (UBER), allowing Prime members to order from restaurants through Amazon.com and the Amazon app, as third-party delivery gets more competitive.
Prime members who order via Amazon will get free delivery on orders of $25 or more. Customers will also get $20 off their first two Uber Eats orders of $25 or more through the first 14 days.
"This is what Prime is all about: unlimited free, fast delivery on a wide selection of products, big savings, fantastic entertainment, and now even more value on restaurant delivery with Uber Eats, all in a single membership," Jamil Ghani, worldwide vice president of Amazon Prime, said in a statement.
Uber also offers its Uber One service, which includes no delivery fees on food and groceries, as well as other benefits, for $9.99 a month, or $96 per year. Amazon Prime, which includes access to Prime Video and Amazon Music, as well as free shipping options, costs $140 a year.
Amazon has been taking share in the grocery delivery market, especially on same-day and one-hour deliveries. Earlier this week, Amazon announced that it added more than 6,000 items to its grocery options over the last six months.

Several flights across Europe have faced bomb threats, officials have said.
An Aer Lingus Airbus A320 plane which departed Dublin on Thursday morning issued an emergency alert, diverted and landed at Evreux air base in northern France.
Meanwhile, Finnish airline Finnair said there was a bomb threat against one of its planes travelling from Helsinki to the Italian capital on Thursday. It was escorted by air force jets and landed as scheduled.
It comes just days after eight European flights, including two departing from the UK, were targeted by suspected bomb threats. No explosives were found on any of the planes after searches.
A statement from Aer Lingus confirmed that flight EI402 from Dublin to Rome "diverted to Normandy this morning as a security precaution."

Princess Diana remains one of the most influential royal style figures decades after her death. From glamorous evening gowns to casual sweatshirts, her clothes attracted enormous attention and often carried meanings that went far beyond fashion. Few pieces illustrate that fascination better than her famous red Black Sheep sweater, featuring rows of white sheep and a single black one standing apart from the flock.
Diana first wore the Warm & Wonderful sweater in 1981, shortly after her engagement to Prince Charles. The playful design quickly attracted attention, particularly because the lone black sheep invited interpretations about Diana's own position within royal life. Those interpretations remain speculative, but there is clear evidence that she valued the garment. After the original sweater was damaged, Buckingham Palace contacted the designers seeking a repair or replacement. Diana later appeared publicly in the replacement.
Years later, the original sweater was rediscovered and offered at auction through Sotheby's in 2023. Before the sale, it carried an estimate of $50,000 to $80,000. Its significance came from more than Diana simply having worn it. The accompanying correspondence helped establish its history, while photographs of Diana wearing the distinctive design made it instantly recognizable to collectors and royal fashion enthusiasts.
The final result dramatically exceeded expectations. The sweater sold for $1.143 million, including fees, setting a record at the time for an item of clothing worn by Diana at auction. The price also demonstrated how dramatically demand for objects connected with the princess had grown. Other pieces from her wardrobe had already achieved impressive results, including a purple Victor Edelstein evening gown that sold for more than $600,000 earlier in 2023.
Diana's wardrobe continues to attract this level of interest because her clothing became closely connected with her public identity. Early in her royal life, she embraced romantic dresses and traditional silhouettes. Over time, her wardrobe became increasingly confident, incorporating streamlined tailoring, memorable eveningwear and relaxed casual pieces.

Investors are worried. CNN's Fear and Greed Index is at "extreme fear." Inflation remains persistently high, with the ongoing Iran war and tariffs not helping matters. Stock market valuations are frothy by most metrics.
In times of uncertainty, many investors look to safe havens. Utility stocks rank high on the list. But if the stock market crashes, will utility stocks really protect your portfolio?
Missed AI's "Act 1"? Act 2 Could Be 16x Bigger. Most investors think they missed the AI boat because they didn't buy Nvidia in 2005. But according to our ***** ysts, we're only at the end of "Act 1"—the R&D phase. "Act 2" is the global rollout. Continue »
Arguments for buying utility stocks as a defensive portfolio move make sense. Consumers don't stop using electricity, natural gas, or water during an economic downturn or stock market sell-off.
There's also historical precedent for utility stocks protecting against a market crash. For example, the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) sank almost 50% from its peak in early 2000 by October 2002 when the dot-com bubble burst. The Nasdaq-100 index plunged more than 80%. Meanwhile, shares of NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE) and The Southern Company (NYSE: SO), both large electric utility providers, jumped more than 20% during the same period.

A strong showing by Democrats in Texas swept Gina Hinojosa into office as the state's first Democratic governor since 1990 in a contest closely watched by Big Tech companies.
Texas is considered a bellwether for government restrictions on AI data centers and was just one place where deep voter unease over the build-out was on display. Voters across the country passed a series of local ballot measures aimed at restricting construction in the years ahead.
Hinojosa, Texas's first Latina governor, has pledged to impose a moratorium on data center construction in Texas, which accounts for more than 25% of planned US capacity by 2030.
"I want to say something to the powerful people who have gotten very comfortable running this state," she told supporters in her victory speech. "The voters have delivered a mandate for change, and it is change they will get."
Her victory was one of a series of wins for Democrats in Texas. The party is also on track to take control of the Texas House, which would give Hinojosa more power to follow through on restrictions even as the state Senate appears set to remain under Republican control.

Archaeologists have finally cracked the code to the famed Ann Francis shipwreck’s brass combination treasure lock. However, the 16th century relic didn’t open after hours of painstaking trial-and-error. Researchers at Cardiff University and Amgueddfa Cymru, the National Museum of Wales, relied on highly detailed CT scanning equipment to peer inside the mechanical device and learn the code without touching the lock itself.
“It’s not every day you get to solve a 400-year-old mystery,” David Williams, a Cardiff University biomechanics engineer, said in a statement.
The lock’s combination was lost on December 28, 1583, when the merchant ship Ann Francis sailed into a powerful storm during a return voyage from Spain. The exact crew number is unclear, but all of them (around 14 sailors) reportedly drowned after veering off-course and wrecking along the coast of southern Wales. Unfortunately, at least one other death is likely directly tied to the Ann Francis. Archival evidence suggests locals later accused a “detestable woman” named Mother Gabley of being an “execrable witch” and casting the foul weather responsible for the maritime tragedy. While Mother Gabley’s fate remains unknown, she would have almost certainly been hanged under the recently passed “Act Against Conjurations, Enchantments and Witchcrafts” if brought to trial.
The Ann Francis remained missing for 415 years, until metal detectorist Peter Hughes rediscovered the wreckage while surveying southern Wales’ Margam Beach in 1998. Hughes and archaeologists subsequently spent more than 20 years scouring the area for the ship’s remains. By 2017, preservationists had documented over 800 gold and silver coins from Germany, Spain, and Portugal along with artifacts like compasses, ship equipment, and cutlery.
Still, the wreck’s most famous remnant is the brass combination lock still in working condition after four centuries buried in sand. It’s possible the lock was used to guard those coins, or potentially other valuables that didn’t survive exposure to the elements. Regardless, the lock has remained close with no hints to its four-letter combination for hundreds of years.

A widow who stays as beneficiary on her late husband's IRA avoids roughly $172,000 in forced taxable income over four years before his RMD clock starts.
Filing single cuts her Medicare IRMAA threshold in half to $109,000, so a $40,650 RMD alone can trigger $974 in extra annual Part B premiums.
Contributing to or missing a required distribution from the inherited IRA permanently strips away the deferral option the IRS otherwise allows surviving spouses.
Building a portfolio and living off one are two completely different skills, and almost ****** ody teaches the second. This problem is what The Definitive Guide to Retirement Income helps, and it is free today. Read more here. (Sponsor)
Consider a combined case. A 74-year-old widow's husband dies this year at 68, and she's the sole beneficiary of his $1 million traditional IRA. The custodian's spousal claim form offers to move the money into an IRA in her own name, and that looks like the tidy choice.

"Our beloved husband, father, uncle and friend has signed off for the last time," she wrote in a Facebook post. "It is with heavy hearts that we share the news that Harold passed away last night. My mom and I were by his side, and there was an extraordinary amount of love in the room.

Meghan Markle reportedly left Prince Harry feeling panicked over major choices that could affect their marriage. The ******* ss of Sussex was said to be considering a return to California despite their recent UK relocation.
An insider claimed her plans were "triggering a lot of old insecurities" in the Duke. Meanwhile, her newly announced Australian television role raised questions about time apart. Sources also alleged the couple disagreed over where their children should grow up.
According to Woman's Day's report, the Sussexes allegedly disagreed after returning to Britain. An insider claimed, "Meghan is counting down the days until they go back to California." The source said Harry felt "this huge sense of relief being back in the UK." Meanwhile, the former "Suits" actress accepted a 2027 "Junior MasterChef Australia" role alongside Poh Ling Yeow. The show's producers confirmed her involvement on October 27. Meghan called accepting the invitation "an easy yes."
Furthermore, an insider claimed Prince Harry was unsettled by decisions allegedly made without him. "Harry's heartbroken, and feeling more alone and isolated than ever," the source alleged. They added, "Meghan is suddenly making all these massive, life-altering decisions on her own." Additionally, the duke was reportedly "in a state of panic about what she's planning next." The situation was "triggering a lot of old insecurities in him," the insider claimed. They also alleged communication had "completely broken down."
Separately, another source discussed the marriage if Meghan Markle returned to California. "If Meghan becomes unhappy and it doesn't work, she'll go back to the US," they claimed. The insider warned that living apart "could spell trouble for their marriage." Meanwhile, Harry reportedly wanted Archie and Lilibet settled in Britain. The report also alleged King Charles had discussed the couple's problems with his son. Another insider said, "All he wants is for Harry to be happy." Neither spouse publicly confirmed the alleged disagreements.

Vin Burnham has made a name for herself as a costume designer behind some big Hollywood blockbusters and hits on both the stage and screen.
And her decades-long career has seen her collect a rich seam of stories, including the time she nearly accidentally delayed the filming of a Batman movie.
Burnham helped create the iconic Batsuit worn by Michael Keaton in Tim Burton's Batman, which she later refined for the sequel Batman Returns.
On the very first day of filming Batman, she said she was in the dressing room getting the cowl ready when she mistakenly put her thumb through the front of it.
"There was only one and that is a complete crime," Burnham added.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may have to rethink their plans for a lavish home in the UK. The Sussexes reportedly have their sights set on a sprawling country estate for privacy and entertaining. But the £10 million price tag may be putting that plan out of reach. Their property search has now raised questions about what they can comfortably afford.
According to Rob Shuter's Naughty But Nice, the Duke and ***** ss of Sussex have been eyeing a £10 million (approximately $13 million) country property in the Cotswolds. However, an unnamed source claims their budget may not stretch to the kind of estate they want.
"They have champagne tastes, but the bank balance isn't matching the ambition," a source told Rob Shuter. "They want a magnificent country estate where they can entertain, enjoy privacy and live the lifestyle they imagine for themselves. But a £10 million house is simply beyond their reach right now."
Another insider claims their search has met with a roadblock. "Their house hunt has effectively stalled. They haven't found anything they both love that they can realistically afford," another insider revealed to Naughty But Nice. "It's extraordinary that a couple who talk so much about independence are once again relying on a billionaire friend to provide them with somewhere to live."
The couple's existing properties could also factor into their plans. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continue to own their $14.5 million Montecito mansion in California. While selling it could potentially free up funds for a UK purchase, the report does not suggest that they are preparing to put it on the market.

In the three decades since red carpets have become synonymous with Hollywood couture, celebrity stylists have outpaced fashion editors, models, moguls and, more recently, content creators as the true arbiters of the town's taste. No one else has the number of media impressions that top Hollywood stylists do, with many of them pulling in millions of followers. Of course, Beyoncé, Rihanna and Taylor Swift have 500 million-plus Instagram fans each, but much of the engagement is driven by what their stylists are putting on their backs.
That's why, as this year winds down, THR reached out to the many pros who've now achieved fame in their own right for dressing the most visible personages in the world. What did we learn? The newish Parisian design duo behind Matières Fécales — Hannah Rose Dalton and Steven Raj Bhaskaran — have captured stylists' hearts the most, while Matthieu Blazy's Chanel, Jonathan Anderson's Dior and Anthony Vaccarello's Saint Laurent also number among Hollywood's favorite designers. Feathers still are flying on red carpet fits for all genders. The sheer look continues to show off, but cutouts and two-piece looks are taking over the body-part wars. Lace, lingerie and leather are now completely red carpet-worthy. Slinky close fits and strong tailoring are forever. And so, apparently, is fashion's idolization of Zendaya. We could have easily included three or more of her looks, but to keep the list varied and fun, we chose only one top fit per actor or actress. The methodology behind the list included tabulating the top 10 looks chosen by 50-plus stylists, prioritizing by the number of votes each look received, and then, to break ties, bringing in rankings. The result: a realistic look at coming trends and which designers and designs rank the highest for Hollywood, by the world's top tastemakers.

The battle for control of Congress got the lion's share of the attention on Tuesday, but there were a lot of other consequential measures on the ballots that could have a direct impact on voters' lives.
Ballot measures often don't receive much national focus, but every two years, voters across the country decide whether to adopt policies that have major implications for their states. This year was no different.
There were more than 140 measures on the ballot across 40 states. Many touched on some of the biggest issues in U.S. politics, including abortion, transgender rights, voting and the democratic process itself.
Ballot measures can give the people a way to directly alter the laws in their states instead of relying solely on their elected representatives to create policy on their behalf. In some cases, they provide an opportunity for voters to endorse or reject something their state legislature wants to do. In others, regular citizens can get their preferred policy on the ballot directly through a signature-gathering campaign.
Here's a rundown of the results of some of the major measures on statewide ballots this year.

Uber (NYSE: UBER) founder Travis Kalanick moved to Austin by December 18, as billionaire departures removed an estimated $1.1 trillion from California's prospective tax base.
Prop. 42, leading with 54.6%, would ban new California taxes on wealth and investment accounts, shielding 401(k)s and IRAs from future wealth tax expansion.
Building a portfolio and living off one are two completely different skills, and almost ***** ody teaches the second. This problem is what The Definitive Guide to Retirement Income helps, and it is free today. Read more here. (Sponsor)
California voters rejected the billionaire tax on Tuesday by a wide margin. Election-night returns counted by The Center Square showed Prop. 40 losing 56.5% to 43.5%, with 68.5% of precincts partially reporting. According to The Center Square, the measure would have imposed a one-time 5% tax on residents with wealth of $1 billion or more. News outlets widely reported its defeat.
If you have a 401(k), an IRA or a brokerage account, the result that matters more to you is a different one. Prop. 42 would ban new state taxes on wealth, investment accounts and personal property. In The Center Square's count, it was leading with 54.6% of the vote.

When a whole life policy lapses with an unpaid loan, the IRS taxes the entire loan-wiped-against-cash-value gain as ordinary income, even if you received no money.
Carol's $110,000 loan against $60,000 in premiums creates $50,000 of phantom taxable income, costing roughly $11,086 in federal taxes plus up to $1,148 more in Medicare premiums.
Keeping the policy in force until death avoids the tax bill entirely, since death benefits pay off the loan without generating a 1099-R.

Picture a Form 1099-R showing up in January from an insurance company Carol hasn't thought about in years. She's 71. Decades ago she bought a whole life policy, borrowed against it when money got tight, and then put it out of her mind. The form says she took a distribution. She never got a check, but the tax is still hers to pay.

In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Vince Staples reiterated that he's not as rich as his level of fame might lead some fans to believe.
Staples recently sat down with Jeff Ihaza for a conversation at New York's Cherry Lane Theatre earlier this month, and during the chat, he was asked about getting better as a live performer. He was then asked if he enjoys performing live, and he replied, "Yeah, why not?"
Ihaza highlighted that being onstage and seeing fans in the crowd is "a huge point" for some artists, and he said, "Probably, I mean, I don't know what to tell you, bro. … It's like, my job. I don't really know what to say."
He said that he understands the "escapism" of being a fan, but in the end, "It really all come[s] down to money." He added, "Nobody asking people that they don't think have money any of these f**kingquestions. So the question is, 'Hey, I think you're rich, do you like being rich?"

The results of the 2026 midterm elections have delivered a series of historic wins, with candidates across the country breaking barriers — and glass ceilings — at the ballot box. The results come amid a sweeping Democratic victory in a battle for control of Congress, with both chambers shifting from Republican to Democratic majorities starting in January.
Among the headline-making victories are the nation's first Black woman governor, the first Native American woman governor, the first Muslim U.S. senator and the first openly gay man elected to the Senate.
Here's a closer look at the historic wins of the 2026 midterms.

Space Exploration Technologies (NASDAQ: SPCX) has had a rocky start to life as a public company. After reaching an all-time high of $226 within days following its June debut, ******* eX shares have fallen roughly 38%, even as Elon Musk's aerospace and artificial intelligence (AI) company reported impressive financial results.
However, an upcoming event may give investors a new reason to reconsider ******* eX's long-term potential. On Nov. 6, Baron Capital will host its 33rd annual investment conference in New York City, where billionaire mutual fund investor Ron Baron will interview Musk during a fireside chat.
Missed AI's "Act 1"? Act 2 Could Be 16x Bigger. Most investors think they missed the AI boat because they didn't buy Nvidia in 2005. But according to our ******* ysts, we're only at the end of "Act 1"—the R&D phase. "Act 2" is the global rollout. Continue »
The conversation could be interesting because Baron has been one of Musk's most enthusiastic supporters for more than a decade. With ******* eX now publicly traded, the conference provides an opportunity for Musk to discuss the company's vision and progress with an investor who has made billions backing his other businesses. My prediction is this conversation could send ******* eX stock soaring.
Baron's relationship with Musk dates back to Tesla's (NASDAQ: TSLA) initial public offering in 2010. Although Baron did not immediately invest in the electric vehicle (EV) pioneer, he eventually bought into Musk's vision for the company. He later accumulated approximately $400 million worth of Tesla stock between 2014 and 2016.

Stanley Black & Decker reported third quarter 2026 sales of US$3,731.6 million and net income of US$272.1 million, with basic earnings per share from continuing operations at US$1.84.
Management paired these stronger earnings with a new US$1b share repurchase authorization and ongoing cash dividends, indicating continued emphasis on capital return alongside operational execution.
The focus now turns to how Stanley Black & Decker's investment narrative incorporates this earnings performance and the new US$1b buyback authorization.
Spot opportunities that echo Stanley Black & Decker's earnings strength and capital return focus by scanning our curated list of list of solid balance sheet and fundamentals (23 results).
Owning Stanley Black & Decker means buying into a very physical story. Tools on shelves, outdoor gear in garages, fastening systems in factories. The thesis leans on execution in Tools & Outdoor, disciplined pricing, and the ability to turn that reach into consistent cash that can support both reinvestment and regular dividends. The third quarter earnings, with US$3,731.6 million in sales and US$272.1 million in net income, suggest the cost and mix work of the past few years is feeding through to the bottom line.

BUFFALO Funds, an actively managed mutual fund advised by Kornitzer Capital Management, released its third-quarter 2026 investor letter for "Buffalo Growth Fund". The letter can be downloaded here. The Buffalo Growth Fund advanced 4.57% in Q3, significantly outperforming the Russell 3000® Growth Index's 0.45%. The primary driver of this outperformance was stock selection in Information Technology, particularly among hyperscaler stocks that benefited from higher cloud revenue. However, rising oil prices and inflation challenged the market, prompting the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates for the first time since July 2023 and prompting caution within the Fund. The fund has reduced some positions, noting the cost of capital's impact on business models. There is optimism for hyperscalers following the upcoming Anthropic IPO, which could provide investor transparency for future capex. Also, check the Fund's top five holdings to see its best picks for 2026.
In its Q3 2026 investor letter, Buffalo Growth Fund noted that it sold its position in SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) during the quarter. SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) is a US-based semiconductor company that provides data storage devices and solutions using NAND flash technology for AI developers and enterprise workloads. On November 03, 2026, SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) closed at $1,126.52, with a $160.29 billion market capitalization. Driven by strong momentum, SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) has surged 335.83% year-to-date, trading within a 52-week range of $164.56 to $2,354.39.
Buffalo Growth Fund stated the following regarding Sandisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) in its Q3 2026 investor letter:
"In the previous quarter we determined the portfolio was lacking exposure to the memory ***** e and initiated small positions in both Micron and Sandisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK). Unfortunately, the timing on Sandisk was poor as the stock advanced rapidly through the end of June and then experienced the bottom drop out with nasty momentum unwind in July. We decided to take losses on Sandisk and move on from a ***** e that has historically been incredibly cyclical. Typically, cyclical businesses like this aren't where we focus our time and this experience reminded us of that."
Sandisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) is not on our list of the 40 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. As per our database, 128 hedge fund portfolios held Sandisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) at the end of the second quarter which was 114 in the previous quarter.

More than 1 in 5 Americans in their prime working age have nothing saved for retirement. That's according to The Penny ****** der's 2026 State of Retirement Report, which found that the median amount saved is less than $37,000.
The Penny ****** der's Pollfish survey asked 1,000 U.S. adults between the ages of 30 and 60 about their retirement planning. Among the survey's findings:
22% of U.S. adults between the ages of 30 and 60 say they have $0 saved for retirement. And 24% currently put nothing from their income toward retirement.
The median amount saved is $36,708. The average amount saved (including those with $0) is $147,159, but that number likely skews higher because of a small percentage of ultra-wealthy households raising the average.
28% reduced or paused retirement contributions in the past year to pay for current living expenses.
