THE DAILY RECAP (Might rename this) ⚠️ Please read, this contains alot of information about the market ------------------------------- U.S. stocks battled into the green but closed down for the week. Meanwhile, speculation over China’s reopening pushed international stocks and commodities higher — let’s see what else you missed. 👀 ------------------------------- Today’s recap includes an October jobs summary, a gamble that didn’t pay off, and the tech wrecks you need to see. 📰 ------------------------------- First, check out the heat map... Every sector closed green. Materials (+3.48%) led, and health care (+0.61%) lagged. 🟢 Chinese stocks ranging from Alibaba to Bilibili jumped sharply on rising speculation that China will lift its Covid restrictions. Also, the low-float materials’ stock Huadi International continued its meteoric rise, jumping another 70%. 📈 Amazon dropped below the $1 trillion market cap, while the total crypto market cap broke back above $1 trillion. 😮 In crypto news, Fidelity and ForUsAll provide 401(k) investors access to crypto. A $1 billion crypto hackcauses a 20% drop in GALA tokens. DogeCoin sinksafter reports that Musk told Twitter employees to pause its crypto wallet efforts. And the IRS is gearing up for an increase in crypto cases this coming tax season. ₿ Other symbols active on the streams included: $PERF(+26.48%), $MMTLP (+3.03%), $TSLA (-3.64%), $MULN (-6.91%), $PKBO (+105.79%), $LUNC.X(+9.68%), and $MATIX.C (+20.62%). 🔥 Other symbols active on the streams included: $PERF(+26.48%), $MMTLP (+3.03%), $TSLA (-3.64%), $MULN (-6.91%), $PKBO (+105.79%), $LUNC.X(+9.68%), and $MATIX.C (+20.62%). 🔥 Here are the closing prices:  🟢 S&P 500: $3771 +1.36% 🟢 Nasdaq: $10,475 +1.28% 🟢 Russell 2000: $1,800 +1.13% 🟢 Dow Jones: $32,403 +1.26% ------------------------------- 📄 EARNINGS 📄 ------------------------------- *Investors Gamble Didn’t Pay Off* As the Federal Reserve continues to raise rates and the economy heads for a recession, investors have little patience for money-losing companies. Especially those that aren’t growing. If you don’t believe me, just ask DraftKings investors, who saw their investment plunge today after the company’s quarterly earnings report. 📉 Although its revenues beat expectations ($502 million vs. 437 million) and it raised its full-year guidance, its monthly users fell short of estimates. DraftKings said it had 1.6 million monthly unique paying customers in the quarter. While that’s 22% YoY growth, it fell well short of the 2 million analysts expected. The company hopes its online Sportsbook product expansion, which launched in September, will help drive key metrics like customer acquisition, engagement, and retention. However, investors are not waiting around to find out. $DKNG shares tumbled 28% on the day as investors jumped ship. 👎 ------------------------------- 🏦 ECONOMY 🏦 ------------------------------- *October's Employment Recap* While this week’s Federal Reserve interest rate decisionwas the main event, October’s labor market data was the encore. And unfortunately, neither was good news for investors. 🤢 As we’ve discussed regularly, the Federal Reserve is trying to crush demand enough to cool the labor market and housing so that record-high inflation decreases. 🥵 So far, housing has softened, and prices have begun to come down marginally. However, the labor market remains resilient. There was a slight jolt in the data last month, but October’s numbers were pretty darn good. *Let's summarize it all* 1. The September JOLTs report showed employment postings rose to 10.72 million, meaning there are 1.9 job openings for every available worker; 2. The October ADP Private payrolls report showed 239k jobs were added, with wages increasing by 7.7% YoY 3. Thursday’s initial/continuing jobless claims reportshowed that both measures continue to hover near historic lows; and 4. The October nonfarm payrolls report showed 261k jobs were added, with average hourly earnings rising 0.4% MoM and 4.7% YoY. The unemployment rate also ticked up to 3.7%, while the labor force participation rate declined by 0.1% to 62.2%. • September’s job number was also revised higher by 52,000 and August’s revised lower by 23,000, for a net positive revision of 29,000. The summary above indicates that the labor market is still historically strong despite the Fed’s efforts.The Fed knows that its policies will take time to work through the economy and into the data. That’s partially why it changed its language this week to acknowledge that rates will have to stay higher for longer. 📆 Within that data, we also see the service industry continuing to be the primary source of labor demand. Meanwhile, technology, management, and other general business jobs have ticked down. That data very much jives with the “tale of two labor markets”narrative we’ve been covering. Layoffs in tech, real estate, and other industries that overexpanded during covid get all the headlines. But in the real economy, there’s still a lot of labor demand. And reducing that demand is not going to happen overnight. So, for now, the tightening continues. And growth stocks and other risk assets are responding accordingly. 😨 ------------------------------- 📈 Stocks 📉 ------------------------------- *Some More Tech Wrecks* This week we received earnings reports from several former growth darlings. And most of their stocks’ reactions were absolutely dismal. So before we send you off to enjoy your weekend, we wanted to share some of the worst charts from the week. Just in case you forgot what type of environment we’re in for broken growth stocks. 🙃 First, let’s start with a quick joke. What do you call a stock that’s down 97.68%? A stock that was down 96.19% but fell another 39%. More formally, it’s known as Carvana. $CVNA shares suffered their worst day ever after it missed already lowered top and bottom-line expectations. Additionally, Morgan Stanley gave up on trying to cover the stock…pulling its rating and price target altogether. A 98% drop in 15 months has to be a record of some sort. Big yikes.😬 $TEAM shares fell 29% after revenue missed expectations and the software maker issued a disappointing forecast. $NET shares dropped 18% despite beating earnings and revenue expectations. Once again, forward guidance was key and clearly did not appease investors.  While not a tech stock, we can’t exclude this disaster of a chart… $FNKO investors were left saying “what the Funko” happened, as shares dove more than 60%. The toy company missed earnings and slashed its outlook, indicating no growth in the coming quarters. Much like its customers, the company’s investors did not play around…opting to aggressively offload shares on the news. 👎 ------------------------------- 📍 BULLETS 📍 ------------------------------- *Bullets From The Day* 🥦 Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs acquires a cannabis business. The hip-hop mogul and businessman is expanding his empire by venturing into the cannabis world. He has acquired licensed cannabis operations in New York, Massachusetts, and Illinois for $185 million. The opportunity came because Cresco Labs was legally required to divest some of its assets after acquiring Columbia Care in a $2 billion deal, making it the top U.S. cannabis producer. The assets allow Combs to own the entire process, from growing and manufacturing to marketing and distribution. 🛢️ G7 coalition agrees to a fixed price for Russian Oil. Rather than adopting a floating rate, The Group of Seven nations and Australia will set a fixed price when they finalize a price cap on Russian oil in late November. The fixed price system will require more meetings to review and adjust the pricing, but proponents argue the cap will squeeze funding to Russia without cutting supply to consumers. Russia has said it will not ship oil to countries that set price caps. 🛒 Holiday shopping has another headwind – higher travel spending. Airlines, hotel chains, and other travel-related industries are seeing big revenue and profit boosts as travel demand surges in the post-pandemic environment. This coming holiday shopping season will be the first major test of consumers’ spending priorities, particularly as more of their discretionary income is eaten up by inflation. As a result, retailers are making sizeable efforts to lure customers back into the store, including longer and steeper promotional pricing periods. 📝 Twitter begins its mass layoffs. As expected, Twitter has begun notifying staff that they are being laid off. The cuts are expected to affect 50% of the company’s employees, many of whom found out this morning when they opened their email accounts. The partially-leaked email shows the company getting straight to the point, letting them know they’re on a non-working notice period and will be officially let go on February 2nd, 2023. With that said, some employees have begun a lawsuit against the company, stating it did not provide sufficient notice as required by various federal and state laws. 🛑 Judge halts $4 billion dividend payout to Albertsons’ shareholders. A Washington state judge has temporarily blocked the grocery retailer from issuing the dividend, which was scheduled to be paid on Monday. The lawyers argue that the dividend is illegal because it potentially limits the ability of Albertsons to keep all of its locations open in the years required to complete the merger with Kroger. Overall, blocking the dividend is part of a broader effort to identify and argue the anti-trust concerns of the merger before it’s approved or disapproved. ------------------------------- 🙏 DROP A FOLLOW FOR DAILY MARKET RECAPS ------------------------------- #market #buildandgrow #longterm #whoknowsbutwhatthehell #justwait #buyandhold #believe #buythedip #gain #winning #cnbc #marketrecap #analysis #stocks

All investments involve the risk of loss and the past performance of a security or a financial product does not guarantee future results or returns. You should consult your legal, tax, or financial advisors before making any financial decisions. This material is not intended as a recommendation, offer, or solicitation to purchase or sell securities, open a brokerage account, or engage in any investment strategy.

Product offerings and availability vary based on jurisdiction.

Stocks, ETFs, Options, Bonds.
Self-directed brokerage accounts and brokerage services for US-listed, registered securities, options, and Bonds, except for treasury securities offered through Jiko Securities, Inc., are offered to self-directed customers by Open to the Public Investing, Inc. (“Public Investing”), a registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA & SIPC. Additional information about your broker can be found by clicking here. Public Investing is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Public Holdings, Inc. (“Public Holdings”). This is not an offer, solicitation of an offer, or advice to buy or sell securities or open a brokerage account in any jurisdiction where Public Investing is not registered. Securities products offered by Public Investing are not FDIC insured. Apex Clearing Corporation, our clearing firm, has additional insurance coverage in excess of the regular SIPC limits. Additional information can be found here.

Options.
Certain requirements must be met in order to trade options. Options can be risky and are not suitable for all investors. Options transactions are often complex, and investors can rapidly lose the entire amount of their investment or more in a short period of time. Investors should consider their investment objectives and risks carefully before investing in options. Refer to the Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options before considering any options transaction. Supporting documentation for any claims, if applicable, will be furnished upon request. Tax considerations with options transactions are unique and investors considering options should consult their tax advisor as to how taxes affect the outcome of each options strategy.

Options Order Flow Rebate.
If you are enrolled in our Options Order Flow Rebate Program, Public Investing will share 50% of our estimated order flow revenue for each completed options trade as a rebate to help reduce your trading costs. The exact rebate will depend on the specifics of each transaction and will be previewed for you prior to submitting each trade. This rebate will be deducted from your cost to place the trade and will be reflected on your trade confirmation. Order flow rebates are not available for non-options transactions. To learn more, see our Fee Schedule, Order Flow Rebate FAQ, and Order Flow Rebate Program Terms & Conditions.

Bonds.
“Bonds” shall refer to corporate debt securities and U.S. government securities offered on the Public platform through a self-directed brokerage account held at Public Investing and custodied at Apex Clearing. For purposes of this section, Bonds exclude treasury securities held in treasury accounts with Jiko Securities, Inc. as explained under the “ Treasury Accounts” section.

Investments in Bonds are subject to various risks including risks related to interest rates, credit quality, market valuations, liquidity, prepayments, early redemption, corporate events, tax ramifications and other factors. The value of Bonds fluctuate and any investments sold prior to maturity may result in gain or loss of principal. In general, when interest rates go up, Bond prices typically drop, and vice versa. Bonds with higher yields or offered by issuers with lower credit ratings generally carry a higher degree of risk. All fixed income securities are subject to price change and availability, and yield is subject to change. Bond ratings, if provided, are third party opinions on the overall bond's credit worthiness at the time the rating is assigned. Ratings are not recommendations to purchase, hold, or sell securities, and they do not address the market value of securities or their suitability for investment purposes.

High-Yield Cash Account.
A High-Yield Cash Account is a secondary brokerage account with Public Investing. Funds in your High-Yield Cash Account are automatically deposited into partner banks (“Partner Banks”), where that cash earns interest and is eligible for FDIC insurance. See here for a list of current Partner Banks. Your Annual Percentage Yield is variable and may change at the discretion of the Partner Banks or Public Investing. Apex Clearing and Public Investing receive administrative fees for operating this program, which reduce the amount of interest paid on swept cash. Neither Public Investing nor any of its affiliates is a bank. Learn more.

Alternative Assets.
Brokerage services for alternative assets available on Public are offered by Dalmore Group, LLC (“Dalmore”), member of FINRA & SIPC. “Alternative assets,” as the term is used at Public, are equity securities that have been issued pursuant to Regulation A of the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended) (“Regulation A”). This content is not investment advice. These investments are speculative, involve substantial risks (including illiquidity and loss of principal), and are not FDIC or SIPC insured. Alternative Assets purchased on the Public platform are not held in a Public Investing brokerage account and are self-custodied by the purchaser. The issuers of these securities may be an affiliate of Public Investing, and Public Investing (or an affiliate) may earn fees when you purchase or sell Alternative Assets. For more information on risks and conflicts of interest, see these disclosures. An affiliate of Public may be “testing the waters” and considering making an offering of securities under Tier 2 of Regulation A. No money or other consideration is being solicited and, if sent in response, will not be accepted. No offer to buy securities can be accepted, and no part of the purchase price can be received, until an offering statement filed with the SEC has been qualified by the SEC. Any such offer may be withdrawn or revoked, without obligation or commitment of any kind, at any time before notice of acceptance given after the date of qualification by the SEC or as stated in the offering materials relating to an investment opportunity, as applicable. An indication of interest to purchase securities involves no obligation or commitment of any kind.

Cryptocurrency.
Cryptocurrency trading, execution, and custody services are provided by Bakkt Crypto Solutions, LLC (NMLS ID 1828849) (“Bakkt”). Cryptocurrency is highly speculative, involves a high degree of risk, and has the potential for loss of the entire amount of an investment. Cryptocurrencies offered by Bakkt are not securities and are not FDIC insured or protected by SIPC. Your cryptocurrency assets are held in your Bakkt account. Bakkt is a licensed virtual currency business by the New York State Department of Financial Services and a licensed money transmitter, but is not a registered broker-dealer or a FINRA member. Your Bakkt Crypto account is separate from your brokerage account with Public Investing, which holds US-listed stocks and ETFs. Please review the Risk Disclosures before trading.

Treasury Accounts.
Investing services in treasury accounts offering 6 month US Treasury Bills on the Public platform are through Jiko Securities, Inc. (“JSI”), a registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA & SIPC. See JSI’s FINRA BrokerCheck and Form CRS for further information.

JSI uses funds from your Treasury Account to purchase T-bills in increments of $100 “par value” (the T-bill’s value at maturity). T-bills are purchased at a discount to the par value and the T-bill’s yield represents the difference in price between the “par value” and the “discount price.” Aggregate funds in your Treasury Account in excess of the T-bill purchases will remain in your Treasury Account as cash. The value of T-bills fluctuate and investors may receive more or less than their original investments if sold prior to maturity. T-bills are subject to price change and availability - yield is subject to change. Past performance is not indicative of future performance. Investments in T-bills involve a variety of risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk. As a general rule, the price of a T-bills moves inversely to changes in interest rates. Although T-bills are considered safer than many other financial instruments, you could lose all or a part of your investment. See Jiko U.S. Treasuries Risk Disclosures for further details.

Investments in T-bills: Not FDIC Insured; No Bank Guarantee; May Lose Value.

Banking services and bank accounts are offered by Jiko Bank, a division of Mid-Central National Bank.
