📈 Markets Monday for 2024-11-18
And we’re back to the end of day snapshot…
Quick Recap
For Market Monday, I continue to look at the same key indicator that I take from a simple Yahoo Finance webpage each week. It’s how I look at things through the lens of the closing bell on Monday.
Previously, I decided on a view from Yahoo Finance. For example, this was a view of intraday in Technology which usually gets around a dozen or so interesting companies when the market is moving and a smaller handful of companies when the market is not moving as much.
If you are using Yahoo Applied Filters for Stocks screener you can bookmark your own heat map view.

Market Cap (Intraday): Mid Cap and Large Cap and Mega Cap

Two hot takes on the two stories caught my eye on Tuesday.

🔙 Throwback Thursday for 2024-11-21
Back in the ancient times of… ~7 months ago… I produced my most re-shared LinkedIn post in several years.
Curiously, the same day that Google and Wiz allegedly agreed to not agree on M&A terms, there was another post that got coverage.

Fast forward to today…

✅ Final Thoughts Friday for 2024-11-22
Posting on LinkedIn about my new role at NexusTek was well received and a great way to end the week.
For the tech news stories that caught my eye this week, Palo Alto earnings and exploits have also been quite the ride.

🔮 Sneak Peak Saturday for 2024-11-23
By Friday, everything seems to be reaching the peak of getting news turned in before a deadline or dread-line. It sometimes seems like we reach a fever pitch in news coverage throughout the week.
Peak 🏔️ vs. Peek 👀
Then there is a trope, cliché, or bromide about slow news days and the quietly mentioned news updates sent on a Friday — to try and sneak it past wider coverage. Or, in a nutshell, peak patronizing publishing.
In that spirit, here are a few stories that you might have missed on the slow news of a Friday.
