It all comes down to putting your money into the companies that you understand.

$Warner Bros. Discovery(WBD)$   The advertising market is currently weaker than at any point during the coronavirus pandemic slowdown of 2020, Warner Bros. Discovery Chief Executive David Zaslav said at an investment conference Tuesday. If the ad market doesn't improve next year, "it's going to be hard" to hit the company's $12 billion earnings forecast for 2023, Zaslav said at RBC's Global TIMT Conference in New York. Zaslav's comments signal a change in rhetoric from large traditional media executives who generally said this summer that advertising slumps weren't significant for them even as digital media players saw a pullback. Advertisers have reduced spending as the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates to cool inflation, pressuring e

$Microsoft(MSFT)$ $Activision Blizzard(ATVI)$   Microsoft (MSFT.O) is likely to offer remedies to EU antitrust regulators in the coming weeks to stave off formal objections to its $69 billion bid for "Call of Duty" maker Activision Blizzard (ATVI.O), people familiar with the matter said.

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ October CPI rose 7.7% over the last 12 months vs the expected 7.9%. The inflation rate is cooling off from the impact of interest rate hikes. It takes 9-12 months for rate hikes to be felt and 12-18 months for the maximum effect. The Midterm election, CPI report, interest rate hikes, house prices and rents, wage growth, job openings, unemployment rate, international conflicts and trade wars all play a significant role in guiding the market's macroenvironment. Hopefully, more of this kind of good trend will continue to jumpstart the market soon.

Bob Iger, less than 24 hours after returning to the helm of Disney, told employees Monday that the company would be undergoing a restructuring in coming weeks. One of the first steps, Iger announced, would be the departure of Kareem Daniel, the company's head of media and entertainment, and right hand to now-departed CEO Bob Chapek. Iger announced Daniel's departure in a memo to employees of the division, along with a “new structure that puts more decision-making back in the hands of our creative teams and rationalizes costs.” “This will necessitate a reorganization of Disney Media & Entertainment Distribution. As a result, Kareem Daniel will be leaving the company,” Iger said in the memo, which was obtained by CNBC. Iger said top Disney lieutenants, including Dana Walden, head of gene

The chief executive and other senior leaders at Adidas discussed the potential fallout from its relationship with Kanye West as far back as four years ago, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal. During a 2018 presentation to the Adidas executive board, a group of employees reportedly outlined the risks that they faced by interacting with West, who has legally changed his name to Ye. The presentation included a number of mitigation strategies that included cutting ties with the Yeezy creator, the report said. But Adidas executives did not sever ties when these concerns were raised, and instead continued to meet with Ye to try and hold onto the partnership, which made nearly $2 billion a year for Adidas, or 10% of its revenue, according to Morningstar analyst David Swartz.

$Amazon.com(AMZN)$  is the world's first public company to lose a trillion dollars in market value as a combination of rising inflation, tightening monetary policies and disappointing earnings updates triggered a historic selloff in the stock this year.

My beginner strategy to trade option, is to "Sell Put". You need to make sure that you want to buy the stock if your options are exercised.  Also make sure you have enough cash for that. " Sell Call" if u want to sell the share at certain price. I had been earning quite a certain amount by trading options. Do not be greedy.
