Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) bullish turn since early September has reflected well on MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), with the proxy firm increasing its valuation by $50 billion in the last two months.
What happened: Widely considered a TradFi alternative to holding Bitcoin, shares of MicroStrategy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41892752/microstrategy-shares-hit-24-year-high-jumps-most-since-dot-com-bubble-as-bitcoin-trades-at-record-levels">hit a record closing high</a>, past $350, earlier this week.

The rally propelled the firm's market valuation to $72.26 billion, reflecting an increase of $50 billion since Sept. 6, or 225%.

Year-to-date, MicroStrategy has leaped 374%, outperforming some of the hottest stocks on Wall Street, including the "Magnificent Seven."
The upswing coincided with the record-breaking play of Bitcoin, which was swiftly approaching the $100,000 milestone. Since Sept. 6, Bitcoin has surged more than 60% in value.&nbsp;

At an average acquisition price of $11.92 billion, the firm racked up over $13 billion in unrealized profit on its Bitcoin purchases.&nbsp;
In its third-quarter results report, the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41646462/michael-saylor-says-bitcoin-remedy-to-fix-unhealthy-balance-sheets-as-microstrategy-unveil">announced plans</a> to raise as much as $42 billion in equity and debt funding over the next three years to accumulate more Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Proxy MicroStrategy Added More To Its Market Cap In Last 2 Months Than What Ford Is Worth Currently

Rocket Lab USA Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKLB#NASDAQ">RKLB</a>) stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/contracts/24/11/41941068/rocket-lab-stock-is-blasting-off-wednesday-whats-going-on">surged nearly 30% in trading on Wednesday</a> following strong third-quarter results, with CEO Peter Beck highlighting the company&#8217;s expanding presence across multiple space sectors during an interview.
What Happened: The space company reported third-quarter revenue of $104.81 million, exceeding analyst expectations and marking a 55% year-over-year increase. Beck emphasized the company&#8217;s growing $1.05 billion backlog for their small Electron rocket and confirmed the larger Neutron rocket remains on schedule for its debut launch next year.
&#8220;Launch is super important; it&#8217;s literally the key to space,&#8221; Beck <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf3WnoKvrGU">told</a> CNBC&#8217;s Morgan Brennan. &#8220;But the Space Systems group is what enables us to build infrastructure in orbit.&#8221; He noted the division currently has over 40 spacecraft in backlog, ranging from Mars missions to telecommunications and national security projects.
Addressing potential political implications, Beck expressed optimism about space policy under President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s administration, citing its focus on space, national defense, and efficient contracting. &#8220;When space does well, Rocket Lab does well,&#8221; he stated.

Why It Matters: The company&#8217;s recent performance has been remarkable, with shares up more than 350% over six months. Beck attributed this partly to investors&#8217; growing understanding of Rocket Lab&#8217;s position as the second-largest space company behind Elon Musk-led SpaceX, which is valued at over $200 billion compared to Rocket Lab&#8217;s sub-5% relative valuation.
Looking ahead, Rocket Lab <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/24/11/41922070/rocket-lab-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-continued-strong-demand-growth-multi-launch-agreement-air-force-award-and-more">projects fourth-quarter revenue</a> between $125 million and $135 million, anticipating continued growth through year-end. The company has also secured new contracts, including a multi-launch agreement with a commercial satellite constellation operator and an $8 million award from the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory.
Price Action: Rocket Lab stock closed at $18.83 on Wednesday, up 28.44% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock dipped 0.58. Year-to-date, Rocket Lab has surged 254.61%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Rocket Lab CEO Touts SpaceX Rival Status, Trump Impact On Space As Stock Surges Almost 30%

Advanced Micro Devices&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) has reportedly decided to lay off approximately 1,000 employees, representing 4% of its global workforce.
What Happened: AMD is realigning its resources to compete with Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) in the data center chip market, reported Reuters.
&#8220;As a part of aligning&nbsp;our resources with our largest&nbsp;growth opportunities, we are taking&nbsp;a number of targeted steps,&#8221;&nbsp;an AMD spokesperson told the publication.
The company has been aggressively investing in the development of AI chips, which command high&nbsp;prices and are in demand among hyperscalers like Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>).

The company&#8217;s data center segment, which includes its AI graphics processors, witnessed a more than two-fold increase in revenue in the September quarter.
Analysts forecast that the data center unit will&nbsp;grow 98% in 2024, outpacing&nbsp;the&nbsp;expected total revenue growth of&nbsp;13%. 
AMD plans to start mass production of its MI325X AI chip in fourth-quarter of 2024, although ramping up production is costly due to limited manufacturing capacity
Why It Matters: Last month, AMD reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41612007/amd-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-in-line-data-center-up-122-significant-growth-opportunities-ahead-">third-quarter revenue of $6.8 billion</a>, surpassing analyst expectations of $6.71 billion. The chipmaker also reported earnings of 92 cents per share, matching analysts&#8217; forecasts, according to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Prior to the earnings, analysts highlighted concerns about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41339315/nvidia-and-intel-competition-threaten-amds-growth-analyst-says">AMD&#8217;s ability to maintain</a> a profitable business model in the face of stiff competition from Nvidia and Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>).
Earlier this month, AMD&#8217;s stock saw a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41848544/whats-going-on-with-amd-stock-this-week">5% increase in the week following</a> the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
Price Action: AMD shares closed Wednesday&#8217;s session down by 3.01%, finishing at $139.30. However, in after-hours trading, the stock saw a slight uptick, rising to $139.41 as of the latest update.

AMD Plans To Cut 4% Of Workforce Amid Strategic Shift Toward AI Chip Development To Rival Jensen Huang-Led Nvidia's Dominance: Report

Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) anticipated the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) department to yield &#8220;good results&#8221; but warned that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy would have their work cut out.
What happened: During a podcast with Ben Ferguson, Cruz said he was upbeat about Musk&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41931503/trump-forms-doge-with-elon-musk-and-vivek-ramaswamy-at-the-helm-will-it-impact-tesla-ceos-role-at-the-ev-giant-and-spacex">new role </a>in the administration but emphasized the fundamental differences between working for a private company and a government department.
Cruz said he had a phone conversation with Musk and urged the tech tycoon to read the book &#8220;Bureaucracy&#8221; by Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises, who argued why private players may find it difficult to administer a government agency.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">I am excited to see Elon Musk use DOGE to make our government more efficient.<a href="https://twitter.com/benfergusonshow?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@benfergusonshow</a> and I break down the Department of Government Efficiency on Verdict &#x1f447;<a href="https://t.co/Et7wlOPL3D">https://t.co/Et7wlOPL3D</a> <a href="https://t.co/hknpqqjQ0X">pic.twitter.com/hknpqqjQ0X</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The senator emphasized that the incentives in the government department were opposite to the profit motive seen in private companies.
Cruz added he asked Musk to take note of the fact that unlike private institutions, one cannot fire government employees because of civil service protections in place.
"I pointed out to Elon. Look, when you went into Twitter, you fired 60% of the employees. That's the flexibility you have."
On the DOGE connection, Cruz said that the nomenclature was not accidental as everyone knows that Musk is a vocal supporter of Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>).
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41873427/shiba-inu-lead-developer-shytoshi-kusama-pitches-s-h-i-b-in-response-to-elon-musks-call-for-new-roles-recommendations-in-trump-administration">Shiba Inu Lead Developer Shytoshi Kusama Pitches S.H.I.B In Response To Elon Musk&#8217;s Call For New Roles Recommendations In Trump Administration</a>
Why It Matters: Cruz and Musk have a friendly relationship, and the senator <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/33691352/ted-cruz-visits-elon-musks-spacex-says-maintaining-american-leadership-in-space-is-critical">previously lauded</a> the SpaceX CEO for maintaining the U.S.&#8217;s leadership in space technology.
A known cryptocurrency advocate, Cruz has invested in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and believes in the upside potential of the leading digital asset.
Price Action: At the time of writing, DOGE was exchanging hands at $0.3853, up 0.92% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Ted Cruz Says Running DOGE Won't Be A Cake Walk, Offers Reading Advice To Elon Musk

SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) has made a significant financial turnaround, reporting a profit of $7.8 billion in its latest quarter, largely attributed to successful Indian <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41929194/nvidia-and-softbank-to-build-japans-top-ai-supercomputer-on-blackwell-platform-jensen-huang-says-tokyo-is-leaping-into-the-ai-industrial-revolution">IPOs and improved tech valuations</a>.
What Happened: The Japanese conglomerate&#8217;s profit in the quarter ending September starkly contrasts the $6.05 billion loss in the same period last year, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/a86569e7-8743-4474-a6a8-13a3f30085e3">reported</a> the Financial Times.
The Vision Fund, known for its high-risk, tech-heavy investments, contributed to this turnaround with a $3.95 billion profit. This is the first time in nine quarters that the Vision Fund&#8217;s cumulative investment gains have turned positive.
Notable IPOs in India, including those of Ola Electric and FirstCry, have significantly boosted SoftBank&#8217;s valuations. The company&#8217;s CFO, Yoshimitsu Goto, highlighted the positive impact of these IPOs, which lifted valuations by $1.7 billion.
Other factors contributing to SoftBank&#8217;s improved financial position include valuation gains at Coupang in South Korea and DiDi in China, as well as a favorable impact on net income from the weak yen.

More recently, SoftBank has been in the news for its plans to rival Nvidia with its own AI chip production.

SoftBank Is In Profit Once Again Thanks To Indian IPOs: What's Next For Masayoshi Son?

Deepwater Asset Management&#8217;s managing partner Gene Munster has supported Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41927289/trump-appoints-elon-musk-and-vivek-ramaswamy-to-lead-doge-targeting-bureaucracy-and-65-trillion-federal-spending-we-will-not-go-gently">new role in President-elect</a> Donald Trump&#8217;s administration.
What Happened: On Wednesday, Munster took to X, formerly Twitter, and advised critics not to underestimate Musk.
&#8220;It takes longer for Elon&#8217;s&nbsp;visions to become reality,&#8221; he stated, adding, &#8220;It&#8217;ll likely take many years&nbsp;for Musk&#8217;s plans to result&nbsp;in a $2T reduction in&nbsp;government spend.&#8221;

Munster also said that&nbsp;the Tesla CEO operates under &#8220;first principles,&#8221; and he expects Musk to propose numerous ways to improve government operations in the coming months.
His final advice to those skeptical about Musk&#8217;s role in government was simple: &#8220;Don&#8217;t bet against Elon.&#8221;

Why It Matters: This development follows Trump&#8217;s plan to appoint Musk and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to lead a new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Meanwhile, the leading dog-themed cryptocurrency, Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) surged by more than 93% over the past week, securing the sixth spot among the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. The cryptocurrency shares the same acronym as the efficiency department.
The initiative, compared to &#8220;The Manhattan Project,&#8221; will focus on dismantling bureaucracy, reducing regulations, and cutting wasteful expenditures.
Previously,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41701075/elon-musk-warns-of-hardship-for-americans-if-trump-puts-him-in-charge-of-cutting-33-trillion-deb">Musk had warned</a>&nbsp;of &#8220;temporary hardship&#8221; for Americans as he aims to drastically reduce federal spending.
At the time, he said that cuts would be so broad that &#8220;everyone&#8217;s going to have to take a haircut,&#8221; and predicted pushback, calling it a necessary path to &#8220;long-term prosperity.&#8221;
Price Action: Following Trump&#8217;s announcement regarding the new department, Tesla shares ended Wednesday&#8217;s session with a 0.53% increase, ending at $330.24. However, in after-hours trading, the stock saw a slight dip, falling to $329.69 as of the latest update, according to the <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. 
Dogecoin is currently priced at $0.3854, reflecting a 0.65% gain over the last 24 hours. However, the trading volume for DOGE has dropped by 38.05%, standing at $25.06 billion at the time of writing.

Palantir, Amazon, Cisco, Intuitive Machines, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

On Wednesday, the Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made substantial trades in Rocket Lab USA Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKLB#NASDAQ">RKLB</a>), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and Archer Aviation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACHR#NYSE">ACHR</a>).
The Rocket Lab USA Inc Trade
Ark Invest sold 479,628 shares in Rocket Lab USA. The trades were made through ARK Autonomous Technology &amp; Robotics ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKQ#BATS">ARKQ</a>) and ARK Space Exploration &amp; Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKX#BATS">ARKX</a>) and were valued at almost $9 million. On Wednesday, Rocket Lab shares shot up over 28% to $18.83.
This sale came after Rocket Lab reported better-than-expected financial results for the third quarter and announced a multi-launch agreement with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/contracts/24/11/41941068/rocket-lab-stock-is-blasting-off-wednesday-whats-going-on">confidential customer</a>. The company was also awarded a defense contract worth up to $8 million. Rocket Lab&#8217;s shares surged after it reported revenue of $104.81 million, beating the consensus estimate of $102.28 million. The company also reported a loss of 10 cents per share, which was less than the expected loss of 11 cents per share. Rocket Lab expects fourth-quarter revenue in the range of $125 million to $135 million and plans to end the year with more Electron launches. The company has already set an annual launch record with 12 Electron launches to date. 
The Amazon.com Trade
Ark Invest also purchased Amazon.com shares. Those transactions were made through ARKQ and ARKX and were valued at $956,812. On Wednesday, Amazon shares ended the day 2.48% higher at $214.10.
Amazon&#8217;s stock rose after the company launched an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41949051/whats-going-on-with-amazon-stock-wednesday-2">online storefront</a> called &#8220;Haul,&#8221; designed to compete with Temu. The storefront offers low-cost shopping, with products priced to compete with heavily discounted Chinese products from competitors like Temu and Shein. Chinese e-commerce platforms have built loyal user bases by offering steep discounts on merchandise. Amazon began talking with China-based sellers about offering a similar service earlier this year. 
The Archer Aviation Trade
Archer Aviation was another significant trade made by Ark Invest. The firm purchased 57,395 shares of the company for $245,650. The trades were made through ARKQ and ARKX. Archer Aviation shares closed Wednesday 8.15% lower at $4.28.
Archer Aviation, a frontrunner in the electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft sector, has seen its stock price soar after signing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/41897968/archer-aviation-taking-off-in-tokyo-and-beyond">major deal</a> with a Japanese aviation giant and reporting solid earnings for the third quarter of fiscal year 2024. Archer Aviation&#8217;s strategic alliance with Soracle, a joint venture between Japan Airlines (JAL) and Sumitomo Corporation, has electrified the eVTOL market. Soracle has obtained the right to purchase up to 100 of Archer&#8217;s Midnight aircraft, with a potential value reaching $500 million. This agreement marks a significant financial boost for Archer and a calculated entry into a market ripe for urban air mobility disruption. 
Importantly, Ark also purchased 55,770 shares of Joby Aviation Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JOBY#NYSE">JOBY</a>). Joby is also an eVTOL company. The transaction amounted to $329,043.

Nearly $850 million in derivatives contracts was erased in the last 24 hours, with leveraged longs accounting for 61% of the total.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $2.98 trillion, following an increase of 1.32% in the last 24 hours.
Stocks ticked slightly higher on Wednesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 47.21 points, or 0.11%, to close at 43,958.19. The S&amp;P 500 gained 0.02% to end at 5,985.38. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite registered the second straight day of decline, closing down 0.26% at 19,230.72.

Analyst Notes: In a note to Benzinga, Chris Kline, COO and Co-Founder of BitcoinIRA, said that Bitcoin was likely to witness heightened volatility on the road to $100,000.
"This is not an unexpected phenomenon, as the market often experiences corrections and fluctuations as it navigates uncharted territory," Kline added.
He also backed Bitcoin's appeal as a wealth preservation asset, predicting that it would catch up given the higher chance of another interest rate cut next month.
Influential cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez spotted a cup-and-handle pattern for Bitcoin, widely considered a bullish signal in technical analysis.
Martinez set a price target of $255,000 for the leading cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin Flirts With $100K, Dogecoin Edges Higher, Ethereum Dips As CPI Numbers Fuel Rate Cut Hopes: Analyst Says BTC Could See Over 180% Upside Due To This Bullish Pattern

The U.S. Supreme Court has signaled its inclination to uphold a class-action lawsuit against Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) for allegedly providing misleading information to investors about its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41931788/nvidia-set-for-major-surge-to-204-analyst-predicts-post-q3-boost-driven-by-blackwell-gpu-demand-strong-margins">reliance on cryptocurrency mining</a>.
What Happened: The Supreme Court heard arguments on Wednesday regarding Nvidia&#8217;s appeal to dismiss a lawsuit accusing the company of misrepresenting its dependence on selling computer chips for cryptocurrency mining, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-nvidia-securities-fraud-cryptocurrency-e146e0d9a4d6887b187ea662bf4c9a6c">reported</a> the Associated Press.
The lawsuit, initiated by a Swedish investment management firm in 2018, persisted despite Nvidia&#8217;s appeal of a lower-court ruling. The case is one of two high-profile class-action lawsuits against tech companies currently under the Supreme Court&#8217;s scrutiny.

Following a downturn in cryptocurrency profitability, Nvidia&#8217;s revenues fell short of projections, leading to a 28% decline in the company&#8217;s stock price. In 2022, Nvidia paid a $5.5 million fine to the Securities and Exchange Commission for failing to disclose that cryptomining was a significant revenue source from the sale of graphics processing units marketed for gaming.
Despite the lawsuit, Nvidia has maintained its position as a leading company in the artificial intelligence sector. The company&#8217;s chipmaking dominance has solidified its status as a key player in the AI boom.
Why It Matters: Nvidia has been making significant strides in the AI space. The company recently partnered with SoftBank to build Japan&#8217;s most <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41929194/nvidia-and-softbank-to-build-japans-top-ai-supercomputer-on-blackwell-platform-jensen-huang-says-tokyo-is-leaping-into-the-ai-industrial-revolution">powerful AI supercomputer</a>, marking a crucial step in Japan&#8217;s global AI dominance.
Analysts have also predicted a major surge in Nvidia&#8217;s stock following its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41931788/nvidia-set-for-major-surge-to-204-analyst-predicts-post-q3-boost-driven-by-blackwell-gpu-demand-strong-margins">third-quarter performance</a>, driven by strong demand for its Blackwell GPUs. Despite this, the ongoing lawsuit could potentially impact the company&#8217;s financial standing.

Nvidia's Crypto Past Returns To Haunt As Supreme Court Signals Green Light For Lawsuit

The final supermoon of 2024 will appear in the night sky on Thursday, offering a brighter, bigger view of Earth&#8217;s satellite.
This supermoon will come within 225,000 miles of Earth, reaching its full lunar phase on Friday. If you miss it, you'll have to wait until 2025 to see another.
This supermoon arrives after the Taurid meteor shower and before the peak of the Leonids later this month. The closest supermoon this year occurred in October, at just over 222,000 miles from Earth.
What Makes A Moon ‘Super'
The term &#8220;supermoon&#8221; isn't scientific. It simply refers to a full moon that appears when the moon is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit. Though only slightly larger, it can appear up to 30% brighter than a regular full moon.

Tips For Capturing The Supermoon On Your Smartphone
Taking a clear photo of the full moon with a smartphone is challenging but achievable with a few simple tips:
Step I: Charge Your Phone And Bring A Backup Battery
Moon photography can drain your battery, so start with a full charge and pack a portable battery.
Step II: Find The Right Timing And Position
Use a moonrise calculator to determine when the moon will rise locally. Look for an open view to the east, ideally somewhere with minimal obstructions like a beach or hill.

Step III: Use A Tripod For Stability
A smartphone tripod will help avoid blurry images. If you don't have one, rest your phone on a steady surface and use a shutter delay feature to prevent any movement.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="681" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/13044530/atsushi-tsubokura-bkgfQWYl8W0-unsplash-1024x681.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-644804" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/13044530/atsushi-tsubokura-bkgfQWYl8W0-unsplash-1024x681.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/13044530/atsushi-tsubokura-bkgfQWYl8W0-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/13044530/atsushi-tsubokura-bkgfQWYl8W0-unsplash-768x511.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/13044530/atsushi-tsubokura-bkgfQWYl8W0-unsplash-1536x1022.jpg 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/13044530/atsushi-tsubokura-bkgfQWYl8W0-unsplash.jpg 1623w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Representation Image &#x7C; Source: Unsplash</figcaption></figure>
Step IV: Lock Focus And Adjust Exposure
Tap and hold on to the moon on your screen to lock focus, then adjust the exposure manually. This is especially useful when the moon is near the horizon and has a warm hue.
Step V: Shoot In RAW Mode
Enable RAW mode in your phone's settings for better detail and dynamic range, capturing both the moon's highlights and the surrounding shadows.
Step VI: Use Binoculars Or A Telescope
For even more detail, align your phone with a telescope or binoculars for a magnified view.

Bonus Tip: Apps like Camera+ 2 or VSCO allow you to control ISO and shutter speed, giving you more flexibility and overexposure.

Last Supermoon Of 2024: Tips To Take That Perfect Shot With Just Your Phone

At LAUNCH Festival 2015, Peter Thiel offered insights into how Elon Musk simultaneously transformed the auto and aerospace industries through Tesla Inc. and SpaceX.
What Happened: In a conversation with Jason Calacanis, Thiel explained that Musk succeeded partly by choosing &#8220;weak competition.&#8221;
He noted that while traditional car companies and the U.S. aerospace sector had &#8220;barely innovated in 50 years,&#8221; Musk entered these industries with strategic foresight.
&#8220;If you&#8217;re going to start a search company, that would be tough because Google's a really tough company… going up against General Motors… and Lockheed, you're at least picking pretty weak competition,&#8221; he stated.

Benzinga Readers Predict How High It Could Fly By End Of 2024</a>
Thiel also described Musk's talent for &#8220;complex coordination.&#8221; This involves combining existing components in new ways, as seen in SpaceX&#8217;s rockets and Tesla&#8217;s cars.
The Paypal and Palantir Technologies co-founder and billionaire investor compared this approach to Apple Inc.&#8217;s creation of the iPhone, which also involved bringing together existing technologies in a novel way.
Thiel also expressed his confidence in Musk&#8217;s ventures, stating, &#8220;I would never bet against&nbsp;Elon in anything.&#8221; 
While Musk was on vacation, PayPal's board, led by Thiel and Max Levchin, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/fintech/23/08/33975786/elon-musks-paypal-merger-tactics-slammed-by-former-paypal-executive-now-that-were-married-let-me-tel">ousted him as CEO</a>, appointing Thiel in his place in September 2000.

Why It Matters: Musk founded SpaceX in 2002, investing $100 million from his PayPal earnings.
Following his ousting from PayPal, Musk reportedly grew frustrated with NASA's lack of Mars plans and began pursuing private space projects, including a $100,000 pledge to the Mars Society.
SpaceX initially operated out of hotel conference rooms before moving to Hawthorne, California, where Musk, serving as Chief Engineer, led the development of the Falcon 1 rocket.
In 2008, Falcon 1 became the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/12/24731951/its-a-wrap-elon-musks-spacex-launches-final-falcon-9-to-space-for-2022-31st-such-mission-for-the-yea">first privately developed</a> liquid-fueled rocket to reach orbit. Musk's goal was clear: cut space transportation costs and make Mars colonization possible.
However, in 2022, Musk expressed his wish for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/04/26775439/elon-musk-rues-lack-of-competition-for-spacex-heres-why">more competition for SpaceX</a>, believing it would aid in making life multi-planetary.
In the first half of 2024, SpaceX <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39612042/elon-musks-spacex-launches-67-missions-in-first-half-of-2024-trailing-own-targets">launched 67 missions</a> using its Falcon launch vehicles.
Meanwhile, Musk&#8217;s journey with Tesla began in 2004, a year after founders Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning launched the company.
He joined as an early investor and board chairman, contributing $6.35 million of Tesla's initial $6.5m Series A financing, as <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2014/12/29/how-much-equity-did-elon-musk-get-from-investing-in-teslas-series-a/">per</a> Forbes.
His role quickly expanded, and after internal tensions led to Eberhard&#8217;s exit, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/01/36574844/elon-musk-says-he-never-wanted-to-be-ceo-of-tesla-or-anything-running-companies-hurts-my-heart-but-h">Musk took over as CEO in October 2008</a>.
Thiel's Founders Fund has invested in SpaceX but holds no stake in Tesla. Previously, Thiel has said that he typically avoids public companies, and Tesla went public relatively early in 2010—though he has since <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39639542/palantir-chair-peter-thiel-praises-elon-musks-risk-taking-ability-regrets-not-investing-in-tesla-the">admitted having some regrets</a>.
&#8220;We should have invested in that one,&#8221; he said at the Aspen Ideas Festival in late June 2024.
Last month, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41501607/tesla-q3-earnings-highlights-eps-beat-revenue-miss-shares-climb-on-2025-timeline-for-lower-cost-evs">Tesla reported third-quarter revenue</a> of $25.18 billion, up 8% year-over-year, missing a Street consensus estimate of $25.37 billion.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is driving a profound transformation in financial markets, ushering in a new era of efficiency and precision in decision-making. This technology is redefining how financial institutions and investors approach data analysis, operations automation, and risk management. With increasingly sophisticated algorithms, the impact of AI extends beyond a simple tool&mdash;it has become an essential component of modern financial infrastructure. However, this transformation is not without significant risks that, if not properly managed, could have serious consequences for the global financial system.
One of the most notable changes is the automation of trading, which has led to unprecedented levels of operational efficiency. Using advanced algorithms, transactions can be executed in microseconds, significantly reducing costs and improving market liquidity. This instant response capability allows algorithms to adapt to real-time fluctuations, thereby optimizing investment strategies. However, this increase in trading speed and volume has also created an increasingly interconnected and sensitive market, which can amplify both gains and losses considerably.
Another fundamental shift is the use of AI in predictive analytics, which enables the anticipation of trends and behavior patterns in assets. The ability to analyze large data volumes and extract useful patterns provides investors with a competitive edge, offering relevant information for decision-making. This tool has reduced market uncertainty and improved the accuracy of financial event predictions, allowing investors to anticipate market changes. However, AI&rsquo;s predictive power relies on the quality and representativeness of the data used, which can also introduce harmful biases.
Risk management is another area where AI has shown a positive impact. Through predictive models and advanced analysis, financial institutions can now assess and mitigate risks with far greater precision. AI-driven tools enable complex scenario evaluations and analyses of how these could affect investment portfolios, a capability that proves crucial in times of high volatility. This not only helps to reduce potential losses but also provides greater stability to the financial system by minimizing the risks associated with unforeseen events.
Despite these advances, the widespread adoption of AI in financial markets presents several risks that must be carefully addressed. One of the greatest dangers is excessive reliance on algorithms, which, if not properly monitored, can lead to erroneous decisions. In an automated environment, systems may react to false signals or misinterpret unusual events, potentially leading to significant losses. This risk is heightened in crisis situations, where human intervention is necessary to assess the context of events.
Moreover, AI and algorithmic trading can also contribute to increased market volatility. The speed at which these systems operate can cause any error to spread rapidly, impacting many investors in a short period. A failure in an algorithm or an incorrect decision in interconnected systems can lead to abrupt price drops, increasing instability in critical moments.
Bias in the data used to train models is another significant risk. AI learns from the data it is trained on; therefore, if these contain biases or do not accurately reflect market behavior, decisions based on them can be distorted. This issue not only affects financial outcomes but can also erode investor confidence in AI-based systems.
Artificial intelligence offers enormous potential to transform and improve financial markets, driving efficiency and strengthening decision-making. However, this adoption must be accompanied by a responsible approach that considers inherent risks and promotes active oversight. Financial institutions and regulators are tasked with finding a balance between innovation and security, so the financial system can benefit from technological advances without compromising its stability. Leveraging the opportunities AI offers in this sector requires a constant commitment to data quality, human oversight, and the implementation of adequate security protocols, ensuring that the impact of these new technologies on financial markets is positive and sustainable in the long term.

The Impact Of AI On Finance: A Revolution Or A Risk?

By <a href="https://roboforex.com/beginners/analytics/forex-forecast/?utm_source=benzinga.com&amp;utm_medium=pr&amp;utm_campaign=rf_en_external_article_13112024&amp;utm_content=analysis&amp;utm_term=forecast" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline">RoboForex Analytical Department</a>
The USD/JPY currency pair has climbed to a three-month high of 154.87, driven by the strengthening US dollar following Donald Trump&rsquo;s election victory. Markets anticipate that Trump&rsquo;s protectionist policies, which are expected to bolster the US economy, might also fuel inflation, prompting the Federal Reserve to maintain higher interest rates than previously anticipated.
In Japan, producer prices rose at their fastest pace in 14 months in October, signalling persistent inflation pressures. Attention is shifting towards Japan&rsquo;s GDP data for Q3 2024, set to be released on Friday, which will provide further insight into the economic trends affecting the yen.
The Bank of Japan is under scrutiny as it contemplates an interest rate increase to 1% per annum during the first half of fiscal 2025. However, Japanese monetary authorities remain cautious, considering the external economic factors and the challenges posed by persistent inflation.
<h3>Technical Analysis Of USD/JPY</h3>

On the H4 USD/JPY chart, the market continues developing the third wave of growth to the level of 156.15. After reaching this level, we will consider the probability of the start of correction to the level of 154.15. Further, we expect the beginning of a new wave of growth to the level of 157.00. Technically, this scenario is confirmed by the MACD indicator. Its signal line is above the zero level and is directed upwards.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/files/u117641/usdjpyh1_37.png"><img alt="" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/u117641/usdjpyh1_37.png" style="height:280px; width:624px" /></a>
On the H1 USD/JPY chart, the market has formed a consolidation range around the 154.15 level and continues developing the wave to 156.15 with an upward exit. After reaching this level, we expect a correction towards 154.15, initially targeting 155.20. Technically, this scenario is confirmed by the Stochastic oscillator. Its signal line is above the level of 50 and is directed upwards.

USD/JPY At A Three-Month Peak: No One Opposes The US Dollar

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Different Kind Of Market</h3>
Since last week's election, we've been in a euphoric market for crypto and other "Trump trades", i.e., names that are expected to benefit from President-Elect Trump returning to the White House. This market calls for a different kind of trading. Valuation and other fundamental metrics aren't going to help us here.
But Portfolio Armor's <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://portfolioarmor.com/performance-top-names">Top Ten Names</a> might. That—along with what my understanding of what a "Trump trade" is, is what I'm betting on here.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bigger And Faster Than We Expected</h3>
Last Monday,&nbsp;<a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/trade-alert-ai-da2">we opened</a>&nbsp;a call spread on&nbsp;Tesla, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), which was both one of our system's top ten names, and a "Trump trade", given Elon Musk's alliance with Trump. Our bet was on the stock hitting $350 by next December. This was the &#8220;less-contrarian long term trade&#8221; mentioned below.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/trade-alert-ai-da2"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="916" height="812" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12094910/AI-Trade.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3249" style="width:624px" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12094910/AI-Trade.jpg 916w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12094910/AI-Trade-300x266.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12094910/AI-Trade-768x681.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 916px) 100vw, 916px" /></a></figure>
As it happened, Tesla hit $350&nbsp;on Monday. 
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="912" height="562" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12095049/Tesla-Chart.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3250" style="width:624px" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12095049/Tesla-Chart.jpg 912w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12095049/Tesla-Chart-300x185.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12095049/Tesla-Chart-768x473.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 912px) 100vw, 912px" /></figure>
Clearly, we weren't bullish enough.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Leaving Money On The Table On Monday</h3>
Because the Tesla trade was a call spread, it wasn't feasible to take profits on it on Monday. However, I had two 200% exits on straight call trades, but it still felt like leaving money on the table.
Options
<ol>
<li>Calls on&nbsp;Robinhood Markets, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>).

</ol>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Getting More Aggressive On Tuesday</h3>
On Monday night, there were four "Trump trades" in our daily top ten names. On Tuesday, I plan to place bullish bets on all of them. This time, we'll use options expiring this year, so we'll be able to take profits sooner. Given the rapid advance of stocks like Tesla though, you&#8217;re probably wondering if this is a bubble. Let&#8217;s address that. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What If This Is A Bubble?</h3>
It most certainly is a bubble, but bubbles are when you can make the most money in short periods of time. The key is to get out before it bursts. If I had to guess how long this bubble would last, I'd say until about the end of the year.
Between now and then, traders are free to imagine all sorts of positive impacts from a Trump 2.0 administration—maybe they'll start a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve? And so on. Once Trump enters the White House in late January, those hopes will meet some resistance and Trump trades may need to be repriced.
So, we are going to try to take profits before the end of the year.

Trump Trade Update

Former President Donald Trump has announced his nomination of Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) for the role of United States Secretary of State.
What Happened: On Sunday, Trump took to X to express his decision to nominate Senator Marco Rubio for the position of Secretary of State. Trump praised Rubio as a &#8220;highly respected leader&#8221; and a &#8220;powerful voice for freedom&#8221;. He also highlighted Rubio&#8217;s dedication to the nation and his unwavering stance against adversaries.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Congratulations <a href="https://twitter.com/marcorubio?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MarcoRubio</a>!

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Rubio said in a separate post on X that leading the Department of State was a &#8220;tremendous&#8221; responsibility and he was &#8220;honored&#8221; by the trust the President-elect had placed in him.
&#8220;We will deliver peace through strength and always put the interests of Americans and America above all else,&#8221; said Rubio.
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41927289/trump-appoints-elon-musk-and-vivek-ramaswamy-to-lead-doge-targeting-bureaucracy-and-65-trillion-feder">appointed</a> by Trump, along with entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, to head the new &#8220;Department of Government Efficiency&#8221; reacted to the announcement by saying, &#8220;Congratulations.&#8221;

Trump&#8217;s announcement comes after reports of him <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41893397/trump-reportedly-considers-marco-rubio-for-secretary-of-state-role-who-shares-similar-stance-for-china-but-says-stock-market-is-not-the-economy">considering Rubio for the role</a>. Rubio&#8217;s strong stance on China, which aligns with Trump&#8217;s plans to impose significant tariffs on Chinese imports, is speculated to have influenced Trump&#8217;s decision.
Why It Matters: Rubio&#8217;s nomination as Secretary of State is significant given his previous interactions with Trump. Earlier this year, Rubio denied allegations of being in discussions with Trump&#8217;s team for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37884594/marco-rubio-as-vice-president-florida-senator-says-ive-never-spoken-to-anybody-in-the-trump-world-ab">potential vice-presidential nomination</a>. However, Rubio&#8217;s behind-the-scenes maneuvers have placed him as a top contender for the vice-presidential nomination.
Rubio quietly positioned himself as a top contender for Trump&#8217;s VP pick by avoiding overt support and public clashes with Trump, aiming to appeal with his Cuban heritage and establishing rapport with Trump's campaign adviser Susie Wiles, who is now <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41831213/trump-appoints-susie-wiles-as-first-woman-chief-of-staff-in-us-history-calls-her-tough-smart-and-inn">nominated</a> to be the next White House chief of staff.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Extreme Sentiment</h3>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/chart-analysis-stock-inflation-data-cpi-government-efficiency-tlt-mc-11132024">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, bonds have the potential to spoil the stock market's party.&nbsp; Prudent investors need to keep an eye on bonds.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>The chart shows that yields are pulling back in the early trade after the release of the Consumer Price Index.</li>
<li>The chart shows that on Trump's win, TLT approached the high band of the support zone.</li>
<li>The chart shows that the momo crowd ran TLT up back into the bottom resistance zone.</li>
<li>The chart shows that TLT failed to breakout above the bottom resistance zone and has now pulled back below the bottom band of the resistance zone.</li>
<li>The chart shows two spot on Arora calls:
<ul>
<li>Contrary Arora call that bonds will fall when the Fed cut rates. This call was made at a time when everyone was buying bonds.</li>
<li>Arora call on the impact of the election on bonds</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Inflation data came inline with consensus. &nbsp;Here are the details:
<ul>
<li>Headline CPI came at 0.2% vs. 0.2% consensus.</li>
<li>Core CPI came at 0.3% vs. 0.3% consensus.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, prudent investors should pay attention to the fact that the 0.3% core inflation rate is 3.6% annualized.&nbsp; The Fed's stated target is 2%.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>The extreme positive sentiment is evident from the following this morning in the early trade:
<ul>
<li>Bonds rose and yields fell on inflation data.</li>
<li>Stock futures were lower prior to the data. Aggressive buying came into stocks after the data.&nbsp; Buying is aggressive in Trump linked stocks such as Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).</li>
<li>&nbsp;Bitcoin was pulling back before CPI was released.&nbsp; Aggressive buying came in after the release of the data.</li>
<li>None of the foregoing would make sense based on the data alone, but Wall Street's thinking is that the Fed will be under pressure from Trump to cut rates in December – the fact that the data does not support a rate cut does not matter because of the political pressure.</li>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h3>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.&nbsp; The proprietary protection band from The Arora Report is very popular.&nbsp; The protection band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h3>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.
