Justin Bergner discusses why the market may be range-bound into year-end, despite strong earnings from tech giants like Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), and Alphabet (GOOGL). Bergner points to countervailing forces, including AIAX exposure and negative signals from the treasury market, and highlights names like Toyota Motor (TM) and Arcosa (ACA) as potential defensive plays.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Immigrated to the US from Russia in 1991 with all his family three brothers, father, and stepmother. His professional career is easily described in one sentence: He invest, He educates, he writes, and he could not dream of doing anything else. He is Chief Investment Officer at Investment Management Associates, Inc (IMA), a value investment firm based in Denver, Colorado. After he received his graduate and undergraduate degrees in finance (cum laude) from the University of Colorado at Denver, and finished his CFA designation, he wanted to keep learning. He figured the best way to learn is to teach. At first he taught an undergraduate class at the University of Colorado at Denver and later a graduate investment class at the same university that he designed based on his day job. He found that the university classroom was not big enough, so he started writing. He writes a monthly column for Institutional Investor Magazine and he has written articles for the Financial Times, Barron‘s, BusinessWeek, Christian Science Monitor, New York Post, and the list goes on. He was profiled in Barron‘s, and has been interviewed by Value Investor Insight, Welling@Weeden, BusinessWeek, BNN, CNBC, and countless radio shows.

S&P Futures are pointing lower this morning as investors digest a wave of earnings, Fed commentary, and geopolitical updates. Mega-cap tech continues to deliver strong margins, though Microsoft's softer PC outlook weighed on its guidance. Fed Chair Jerome Powell struck a hawkish tone in yesterday's press conference, signaling that a December rate cut is not a foregone conclusion. Meanwhile, U.S.–China talks wrapped up as expected, easing trade tensions with no surprises. We'll also touch on YouTube's expiring agreement with Disney, the FDA's push to streamline biologic drug testing, and the latest corporate movers — from GOOG and LLY to META, MSFT, and MRK. After the bell, all eyes turn to Apple, Amazon, Coinbase, Reddit, and Roku, with ABBV, CVX, and XOM set to report tomorrow morning.

Today we had the pleasure of hosting Obinna Isiadinso, Global Sector Lead for Data Center Investments at the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group and the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets. Obinna leads investment teams on valuation and execution considerations, reviews private equity and credit transaction structures, and participates in transaction negotiations in the Data Center and Cloud sectors in emerging markets globally. He is also the author of the Global Data Center Hub on Substack (linked here). His career spans private equity, infrastructure, and real assets. We were thrilled to host Obinna and learn from him on one of today's most dynamic topics. In our discussion, Obinna outlines the IFC's role as the private financing arm of the World Bank, shares his background in private equity and digital infrastructure, and describes his current global portfolio focus. He explains the IFC's structure and mission to achieve commercial returns while ensuring developmental impact, its ~$100 billion balance sheet, and dual role as a lender and equity investor. We cover the IFC's role in digital infrastructure and data centers, why data centers matter for emerging market development, the IFC's investment approach and capital structure, and Obinna's Substack, which tracks and summarizes global data center activity. We discuss global market sizing (U.S. ~30 GW; Northern Virginia 3–4 GW; Europe FLAP-D ~1-1.5 GW each; South America ~1 GW; Africa ~500 MW, ~250 MW in South Africa; India ~1.2-1.3 GW; China ~3-4 GW; Malaysia ~250 MW with ~1 GW pipeline in 3-5 years), the growth outlook with hyperscalers planning to add 30-50 GW in 3-5 years and roughly ~$400 billion capex this year, cost benchmarks ($10-12 million/MW plus chips), build times, EBITDA economics, current valuation multiples, the evolving fuel mix, and the IFC's sustainability criteria. Obinna summarizes the IFC's market-by-market approach to energy sourcing, rising power demand in emerging markets (and potential competition for scarce power), the IFC's initiatives to expand generation and grid capacity in Africa, and the Middle East's bid to be a ‘Switzerland of AI Infrastructure.' We ended by asking Obinna for key trends he's watching including diversification of AI models, continuous training workloads, and growing private credit participation. It was a fascinating conversation and we can't thank Obinna enough for joining and sharing his insights. We look forward to staying in touch. Mike Bradley noted that this will be a pivotal week for markets, with the FOMC rate decision on Wednesday, a slew of Q3 reports from Big AI/Tech and Energy/Electricity companies throughout this week, and an OPEC+ meeting being held over the weekend. In the bond market, the 10-year bond yield continues to be stuck in the 4% range. The Fed is expected to cut interest rates by 25bps both this week and again in December. On the oil market front, WTI price has slipped back to ~$60/bbl as oil traders seem fixated again on the 2026 oil supply surplus rather than Russian oil sanctions. OPEC+ is expected to raise November oil production by another 137kbpd (similar to October) at this weekend's OPEC+ meeting. At Veriten, we still envision oil markets in 2026 being a “tale of two markets” with 1H26 being challenged and 2H26 being pretty constructive. In global market news, President Javier Milei's party scored a major win in Argentina's legislative elections, sending bond yields lower, the peso modestly higher, and a 20%+ surge in the Argentina stock market. On the broader equity market front, the S&P 500 continues to reach new highs with this week's move mostly due to optimism of a China-U.S. trade deal. A handful of Big AI/Tech names will be reporting this week (AAPL, AMZN, GOOG, META & MSFT) which could increase broader marke

It will also require new behaviors and sharper priorities that strengthen our retail leadership in style and design and enable faster execution so we can: Lead with merchandising authority; Elevate the guest experience with every interaction; and Accelerate technology to enable our team and delight our guests.”Does anyone know what that word salad actually means?

So if he throws a tantrum and leaves, isn't it bro's fault? This is a binary trade - Musk gets extra pay/control, stock goes up and isn't de-meme'd. Musk doesn't, he leaves and the stock is de-meme'd and drops arguably by 66% or more to be more like a car company with some tech. So do we blame investors, no matter what they do? They meme'd the stock in the first place, he couldn't get a trillion extra dollars if they hadn't pumped up the stock - and now they could vote with humanity (no pay) or meme capitalism (pay)!Techbro middle school conservatism - is this Ben Shapiro and Joe Rogan's fault?

Technology stocks are on fire, with the SPX , NDX and $DJI hitting record highs. Olivier Blanchard attributes this surge to A.I.'s continued growth, with big players like Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOGL), Apple (AAPL), and Amazon (AMZN) competing for dominance as all report earnings this week. Blanchard is bullish on Microsoft's AI partnership with OpenAI and Amazon's AlexaPlus, but has reservations about Tesla's (TSLA) ability to scale its Robotaxi ambitions. Meanwhile, Apple (AAPL) briefly hit a $4 trillion market cap, and AMD secured a $1 billion partnership with the US Department of Energy, solidifying its position in A.I. inference.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
Ahead of Wednesday's earnings, Microsoft (MSFT) jumped Tuesday morning after restructuring its deal with OpenAI. As Kevin Green explains, it changes the stake Microsoft has in the company but adds clarity to OpenAI's future with Azure cloud.

While most sectors in the SPX closed down, the index still hit new record highs alongside the NDX and $DJI. A lot of strength came from Nvidia (NVDA), which surged to a new all-time high on strong guidance and a slew of new partnerships. A restructured partnership between Microsoft (MSFT) and OpenAI boosted the mega cap company ahead of its earnings Wednesday.

It's not just the U.S., too – international equities are also hitting all time highs. He doesn't believe AI is in a bubble and says that growth solves a lot of things. “Until I see some evidence that the demand isn't there,” he expects the sector to keep running higher.

Five of the Mag 7 companies report earnings this week, and Angelo Zino takes investors through everything they need to know when it comes to analyzing the prints. His biggest point for investors: watch how these companies manage spending on A.I. As long as demand for A.I. continues to accelerate, Angelo believes spending can as well. He makes the case that Microsoft (MSFT) is the best-positioned of the mega caps while noting some caution in Apple (AAPL) and Meta Platforms (META).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

We open on the quantum bubble—why euphoric pricing, SPAC lineage, tiny revenues, and heavy short interest make this corner of the market feel like a digital casino. Then we break down shorting in plain English (and why timing risk blows up otherwise “correct” theses). Simon pivots to gold’s surge, drawing parallels to the post-1971 fiat shift, sticky core inflation, and chronic deficits—plus what the Bank of Canada’s changing language might be signaling. We wrap with how gold and Bitcoin can coexist in a portfolio and a quick life update from the hosts. Not investment advice.

Government shutdowns tend to be a non-factor for long-term portfolios, says Samuel Diarbakerly. Instead, he recommends focusing on discipline, diversification, and rebalancing (DDR).

Diarbakerly suggests having some exposure to alternative investments, such as private credit, hedge funds, and private equity, but with caution. Despite concerns about inflation, he remains optimistic about the economy and expects higher highs for the market this year, albeit with increased volatility.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.
