Chipotle Mexican Grill Unusual Options Activity For January 15

<p>Mark Zuckerberg and Kevin O'Leary might have different approaches to business, but they both share a pricey obsession: luxury watches.</p>
<p>In a recent Fox Business <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tINxrq2as7U">segment</a>, Kevin O'Leary, the entrepreneur and TV personality known as "Mr. Wonderful," was talking about a host of things. But when host Jackie DeAngelis pointed out that Mark Zuckerberg had been spotted wearing an eye-wateringly expensive $900,000 watch – the Greubel Forsey Hand Made 1 – in a video where he announced the end of fact-checking on Meta's platforms, O&#8217;Leary surprised everyone by showing one on his wrist too.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I understand Zuck&#39;s disease. I have it too. The thing about watch collecting is, it&#39;s a horrible disease. Once you get started, you can&#39;t stop. I don&#39;t want to boast here, but I think I got Zuck beat in the watch department. <a href="https://t.co/rgrGV3PQqd">pic.twitter.com/rgrGV3PQqd</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Kevin O&#39;Leary aka Mr. Wonderful (@kevinolearytv) <a href="https://twitter.com/kevinolearytv/status/1876757653419909269?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 7, 2025</a></p></blockquote>

<ul>
<li><strong>With 100+ historic trademarks including some of the high grossing characters in history, like Cinderella, Snow White and Peter Pan, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/elf-labs-1"><strong>this company is transforming the $2 trillion entertainment market with patented AR, VR, and AI tech. — For a short window, investors are able to claim $2/share ($980 min).</strong></a></strong></li>
<li><strong>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2"><strong>Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.26/share!</strong></a></strong></li>
</ul>
<p>DeAngelis jokingly pressed O'Leary about what he thought of the watch and his own collection. O'Leary's said, "I saw it. It's a piece unique and I am embarrassed to say I&#8217;m wearing one of them right now, right here." He continued, "I understand Zuck&#8217;s disease. I have it too," while flexing his other watch during the broadcast – a one-of-a-kind Daytona. Yes, O&#8217;Leary is known to wear watches on both his wrists at the same time. He admitted that once you start collecting luxury timepieces, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/01/36831630/kevin-oleary-says-he-wants-to-be-buried-with-his-watch-collection-when-he-dies-all-of-these-watches">it's almost impossible to stop</a>. "It is a horrible disease," he joked. "And I think I've got him beat."</p>
<p>Zuckerberg's Greubel Forsey Hand Made 1 isn't your everyday wrist accessory. Retailing for $895,500 before taxes, this Swiss-made masterpiece takes 6,000 hours to craft, with only two or three made each year. Often described as &#8220;wearable art,&#8221; it's an exclusive timepiece that's as much about craftsmanship as it is about status. Greubel Forsey's CEO Michel Nydegger told Fortune it&#8217;s a "pleasure" to see Zuckerberg &#8220;show true appreciation for the most traditional approach to fine watchmaking today."</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Growing Collection of Criticism</h2>
<p>While the watches are celebrated by enthusiasts, not everyone is impressed. Critics argue that flaunting a $900,000 watch during an announcement about major platform changes – like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42851889/meta-ditches-fact-checking-for-community-notes-zuckerberg-says-opportunity-to-restore-free-expression">Meta's decision to end fact-checking – </a>can come off as tone-deaf. One fashion expert called it "a bit incongruent" and said it didn't help Zuckerberg's image.</p>
<p>Still, it's clear that Zuckerberg isn't shying away from his growing interest in high-end horology. He's been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42689559/mark-zuckerberg-talks-non-profit-achievements-while-displaying-a-1-2-million-patek-philippe-watch">spotted wearing other exclusive pieces</a> like the Patek Philippe Grand Complications 5303R worth $1.2 million and the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra COSC.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Addiction of Luxury Watches</h2>
<p>Why do successful people like O'Leary and Zuckerberg fall so hard for luxury watches? Industry insiders say it's about more than just status. Watches like the Hand Made 1 or the Daytona represent extraordinary craftsmanship and innovation. They're rare, beautiful and – for some collectors – the ultimate expression of taste and sophistication.</p>
<p>But, as O'Leary puts it, once you start, it's hard to stop. "It's a horrible disease," he said, with a grin. And when you've got the wealth to afford these masterpieces, the collection is only limited by what's available – and your willpower.</p>

<p>Trading at $47.20, Bank of America stock sits comfortably above its key moving averages, flashing bullish momentum.</p>
<ul>
<li>The eight-day SMA (simple moving average) at $45.71 and 50-day SMA at $45.47 both signal bullish momentum.</li>
<li>The MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) indicator at 0.22 adds to the optimism for future gains.</li>
<li>BAC stock&#8217;s RSI (relative strength index) of 64.53 suggests the stock has room to run before entering overbought territory.</li>
</ul>
<p>Investors expect $25.24 billion in revenue and EPS of 77 cents, with strong consumer lending as a potential bright spot.</p>

<p>Despite a 51.70% gain over the past year, Morgan Stanley shows signs of cooling off. </p>

<p>Morgan Stanley stock, at $130.41, sits above its eight-day ($126.47), 20-day ($125.80) and 50-day ($128.13) SMAs, signaling bullishness.</p>
<ul>
<li>The MACD, however, is a negative 0.11 and the RSI at 58.36 point to sluggish momentum.</li>
<li>Yet, trading above its 200-day SMA ($107.29) hints at sustained longer-term strength.</li>
</ul>
<p>Analysts project $15.03 billion in revenue and $1.70 EPS, with Morgan Stanley's wealth management and investment banking segments under scrutiny.</p>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Market Watchers Split On Winners</strong></h1>
<p>Technical indicators favor Bank of America's near-term bullish case, while Morgan Stanley's diversified revenue streams offer longer-term resilience. </p>
<p>Both are poised for a financial tug-of-war as investors assess growth prospects amid rising rates and market volatility.</p>
<p>With the Bank of America stock flashing bullish signals across the board and Morgan Stanley stock facing a MACD hiccup, earnings day could reveal who truly holds the upper hand: steady lending or savvy dealmaking. Stay tuned.</p>

<p><strong>American Express Company</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>) shares are moving higher on Wednesday amid strong earnings from several major banks. Here&#8217;s what you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/42984073/banks-kick-off-earnings-season-on-wednesday-retail-traders-bet-big-on-financials-ahead-of-regulatory-tailwinds">need to know</a>.</p>
<p><strong>What To Know:</strong> Major financial institutions, including<strong> JP Morgan Chase &amp; Co.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>),<strong> Citigroup, Inc.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) and <strong>Wells Fargo &amp; Company</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>), delivered strong earnings Wednesday morning, fueling strength across the financial services sector.</p>
<p>Chase <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/43000684">reported revenue</a> of $43.73 billion, beating analyst estimates of $41.70 billion and representing a 10% year-over-year growth. The bank posted earnings per share of $4.81, beating analyst estimates of $4.11. Additionally, Chase reported that debit and credit sales volume increased by 8% year-over-year. </p>
