Jeff Bezos, owner of the Washington Post and founder of Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), told a group at The New York Times DealBook Summit in early December that he likes meetings to be "messy" so that he can be part of the "sausage-making" process. 
The Details: Bezos, well-known as the world's second richest person, is also notable for his strong opinions on how business meetings should be run. 
Bezos discouraged PowerPoint presentations at Amazon's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/09/41107170/jeff-bezos-used-this-method-to-get-true-opinions-from-employees-amazon-founder-says-youre-the-b">internal meetings</a> and set standards for meetings to seek the truth rather than to appeal or please the executives.

&#8220;You don&#8217;t want the whole thing to be figured out and presented to you,&#8221; he said, according to a Business Insider <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jeff-bezos-messy-meetings-amazon-founder-achieve-more-2024-12">report</a>.&nbsp;
Bezos likes to begin meetings with a 30-minute window for participants to read through a detailed memo that outlines the background information and then open a "messy" discussion.&nbsp;
&#8220;I like the memos to be like angels singing from on high, so clear and beautiful, and then the meeting can be messy," he told The New York Times.&nbsp;
&#8220;Show me the ugly bits. I always ask, are there any dissenting opinions on the team? I want to try to get to the controversy,&#8221; Bezos said.
More Of Bezos' Style: Lauren Sanchez, Bezos' girlfriend, told the Wall Street Journal that he advised her not to be the first to speak in a meeting.&nbsp;
"No, no, no. You&#8217;re the boss. You talk last. You let everyone else talk, so that they don&#8217;t get swayed by your opinion,&#8221; Sánchez shared in the interview.
The Amazon founder is also known for his "Two Pizza Rule" which states that meetings should have no more participants than can be fed with two large pizzas.&nbsp;

Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland resigned Monday, citing disagreements with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42475000/if-trump-starts-a-trade-war-canada-could-impose-export-taxes-on-oil-uranium-report">anticipated U.S. tariffs.</a>
What Happened? Freeland, who also held the position of Deputy Prime Minister, resigned hours before she was due to deliver an economic update to the parliament. In a letter to Trudeau, Freeland <a href="https://x.com/cafreeland/status/1868659332285702167">noted</a> she made this decision after his suggestion to take a different position within his Cabinet.
She also reflected on President-elect Donald Trump's proposed 25% tariffs.
"We need to take that threat extremely seriously. That means keeping our fiscal powder dry today, so we have the reserves we may need for a coming tariff war," she wrote.
Freeland, a veteran journalist and a key member of Trudeau's cabinet since 2015 has held multiple high-profile roles, including Minister of Foreign Affairs. Interestingly, her predecessor, Bill Morneau, resigned over a fallout with Trudeau in 2020 as they clashed over issues with COVID-19-related income support programs.
Meanwhile, Housing Minister Sean Fraser will not seek re-election in Nova Scotia and will leave the federal cabinet during the next shuffle, <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.6593309">per</a> CBC News. The shuffle, which could happen as early as Wednesday, could see former Bank of Canada and Bank of England governor Mark Carney joining the cabinet.&nbsp;
Why It Matters? Freeland's departure signals further weakening of Trudeau's government ahead of the election year.
As a widely respected figure, she was critical in securing Canada's trade interests and the architect of Canada's response to the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement renegotiation during Trump's first term. With Freeland's exit, Trudeau loses a highly skilled negotiator at a pivotal time in international trade relations and domestic economic challenges.
Trudeau maintains the stance that imposing tariffs would hurt both sides.
"Let's not kid ourselves in any way, shape or form, 25% tariffs on everything going to the United States would be devastating for the Canadian economy," Trudeau said <a href="https://apnews.com/article/canada-trudeau-us-trump-tariffs-f23417b8f6671adf6b4c908be630615f">per</a> AP News, clarifying how tariffs on Canadian energy and various commodity exports would make life more expensive in the U.S.
Between November 2023 and October 2024, Canada exported over C$172 billion ($120.74 billion) worth of energy products to the U.S. and C$80.4 billion ($56.44 billion) worth of motor vehicles and parts. Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) and General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) have notable operations in Canada, as do foreign manufacturers like Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Honda, and Toyota.
The internal crisis has driven down the Liberal Party's popularity. Polls <a href="https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/elections/poll-tracker/canada/">show</a> Trudeau's government trails significantly behind the Conservative Party, with the next federal election due by October 2025.
Market Reaction: USD/CAD rose 0.11% for the day, closing the trading session at 1.4241. Since Donald Trump&#8217;s re-election, the pair rose around 3%.

Established in January 1985 alongside the Nasdaq Financial-100 Index, which tracks the 100 largest financial stocks on Nasdaq, these indexes serve as benchmarks for financial instruments like options, futures, and funds.
The Nasdaq-100 undergoes an annual reconstitution each December, aligned with the quadruple witching expiration on Friday of the quarter.
Super Micro Computer stock plunged 62% in the last six months. Reportedly, the AI server company has <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/financing/24/12/42506690/super-micro-seeks-to-raise-capital-via-equity-and-debt" rel="noreferrer noopener">enlisted Evercore to</a> assist in raising capital.
The effort aims to avoid a potential delisting after the company missed its August deadline for filing its annual financial report while reviewing internal financial controls.
The company is considering private investment in public equity (PIPE) funding, which could attract interest from private equity firms. While PIPE funding provides a faster capital-raising method, it dilutes existing shareholders&#8217; equity.
Concerns still need to be made about the profitability of Super Micro&#8217;s AI-optimized servers due to reliance on high-end chips from suppliers like Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
Super Micro&#8217;s auditor, Ernst &amp; Young, resigned in October over governance concerns. This led to a sharp decline in stock value and prompted an independent committee to investigate. By December, the committee found no evidence of misconduct, spurring a 30% rise in Super Micro&#8217;s stock.
The company appointed BDO USA as its new auditor to address delisting risks, submitted a compliance plan to Nasdaq, and began searching for a new finance chief based on the committee&#8217;s recommendations.
Super Micro, which faced scrutiny from a Hindenburg Research report and a U.S. Department of Justice probe, has until February 25 to file its delayed financial reports.
Super Micro Computer missed the revenue estimates for the last two quarters and the adjusted EPS consensus for the last quarter.
In July 2024, Super Micro Computer <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39847680/whats-going-on-with-super-micro-computer-shares-today" rel="noreferrer noopener">became a component</a> of the Nasdaq-100 Index and the Nasdaq-100 Equal Weighted Index, replacing Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBA#NASDAQ">WBA</a>).
At that time, CEO Charles Liang highlighted Super Micro&#8217;s eco-friendly initiatives and AI growth opportunities during an interview with CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer.
Liang showcased the potential of their &#8220;liquid cooling&#8221; and &#8220;green computer&#8221; technologies to cut carbon emissions and reduce customer expenses.
He also shared his confidence in the transformative power of AI, predicting it could have a more significant impact than the industrial revolution.

Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted by active traders as a bullish signal.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock&#8217;s overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses.

Amid the uncertainty, one thing seems clear: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42120607/gary-gensler-to-step-down-as-sec-chair-on-trumps-inauguration-day">SEC chair Gary Gensler is set to step down</a>, and institutional investors are already anticipating a new regulatory landscape for US markets.&nbsp;
Trump had previously promised at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in July that he <a href="https://www.thebanker.com/Explainer-Why-the-Trump-card-cannot-be-pulled-on-Gary-Gensler-1732190555" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">would fire Gensler</a> on day one of his return to the White House, but it appears that the chair plans to step down from his role on January 20, 2025, the day of the President-election inauguration. 
Gensler's departure will change Wall Street's regulatory landscape, and on the surface, it appears that a more focused move towards deregulation and an end to Gensler's famous cryptocurrency skepticism. But how can institutions prepare for the changes that next year will bring? Let's take a deeper look at the state of play for US markets moving into Trump's second term: 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Regulatory Climbdown</h2>
One key adaptation that institutional investors will need to make is preparing for a deregulated Wall Street.&nbsp;
The regulatory climate in the US had been more expansive in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, with Congress expanding the US government's oversight of the financial industry to safeguard against future collapses.&nbsp;
But it appears likely that Trump's second term will see efforts to scale back these reforms take place, with significant ramifications for the investment landscape.&nbsp;
According to Reuters sources, one potential act of deregulation could see a curtailing of the Dodd-Frank Act, which was implemented in the wake of the financial crash with the intention of reducing systemic risk. Other ideas are focused on making it easier for private companies to raise capital, potentially opening up access to more challenging private funds and securities. 
The prospect of deregulation comes in <a href="https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/11/27/congress/former-sec-official-eyed-for-chair-00191952" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">direct contrast to Gensler's time</a> as the chair of the SEC, which sparked controversy within the financial industry and cryptocurrency lobby. 
While there are certainly high-profile cases of collapses within the financial industry, fintech space, and cryptocurrency landscape, Wall Street appears to welcome the change of pace and more growth-focused approach.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is a Wall Street Rally Imminent?</h2>
Interestingly, Wall Street's positive reception to Gary Gensler's departure appears bullish even despite the dangers of deregulation and the prospect of Trump's tariffs hampering growth in the financial sector.&nbsp;
According to Jenny Grimberg, executive director of global macro research at Goldman Sachs, anticipated <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/news/4271783-wall-street-economists-see-risks-from-trump-tariffs-rewards-from-deregulation" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">average 20 percentage point tariffs</a> on imports from China would likely provide modest boosts to US inflation while lowering growth in the United States. 
Despite this, Goldman Sachs anticipates that the S&amp;P 500 will still rise by around 5% over the course of the year ahead.&nbsp;
Even when facing the prospect of higher inflation and higher interest rates, Wall Street has still adopted a <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/wall-street-girds-trump-20-tariffs-tax-cuts-volatility-2024-11-06/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">pro-growth outlook</a> for the Trump administration, according to David Bianco, Americas CIO at DWS Group. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Which Investment Opportunities Will Prosper?&nbsp;</h2>
Gary Gensler had continuously <a href="https://www.ccn.com/news/crypto/sec-chair-gary-gensler-top-crypto-crackdowns/">pursued lawsuits</a> throughout the crypto sector during his time as chair, targeting projects like Ripple, and exchanges such as Binance, Coinbase, FTX, and Kraken.&nbsp;
While the case against FTX and owner Sam Bankman-Fried underlined the importance of regulation in the wake of the exchange's collapse in 2022, Gensler has long been identified as an obstructive force by cryptocurrency enthusiasts.&nbsp;
Trump's election victory prompted a widespread cryptocurrency market rally that's underlined the underlined the expectation that Trump will bring a more conducive environment for cryptocurrency investing on Wall Street.&nbsp;
As a result, we're likely to see more institutional investors ramp up their crypto exposure in the wake of Gensler's time as chair.&nbsp;
Institutions can also find value among other asset managers in this new pro-growth, deregulated environment, and Berkshire Hathaway's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) exposure to US infrastructure might <a href="https://www.fool.co.uk/2024/12/02/3-sp-500-stocks-that-could-surge-under-donald-trump-as-us-president/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">help the conglomerate to prosper</a> off the back of the Trump Presidency. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Uncertainty Lingers</h2>
With the prospect of steep tariffs impacting US trade in the near future, diversification will be a major consideration for institutional investors seeking to manage their exposure to risk in the era of a newly-reformed SEC.&nbsp;
This is likely to push more hedge funds and other institutions towards international investments, particularly as China ramps up its stimulus plan to overcome its own <a href="https://www.26degreesglobalmarkets.com/market-impact-its-importance-and-how-to-manage-it/">market impact</a>.&nbsp;
Institutional investors should explore a prime broker solution's catalog of globally focused market access tools to ensure that their risk is appropriately hedged as a new chair with a looser strategy rings the changes throughout the investment landscape.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is Wall Street Right to Anticipate Growth?&nbsp;</h2>
The appointment of Elon Musk to the newly formed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42253427/elon-musks-doge-dream-team-from-marc-andreessen-to-ubers-travis-kalanick-silicon-valley-titans-join-forces-to-overhaul-federal-spending">Department of Government Efficiency</a>, a name that carries a knowing nod to cryptocurrency Dogecoin, takes us into uncharted territory in terms of the future of regulation on the financial sector.&nbsp;
With the CEO of a company worth more than $1 trillion in market capitalization taking a key role in the new government, we're likely to see concerted efforts made to clear the way for further pro-growth strategies among some of the United States' largest market players.&nbsp;
However, with the prospect of tariffs looming large over markets, all bets are off regarding what the future holds for Wall Street and institutional investors.

How Can Institutional Investors Prepare for Life After Gary Gensler Leaves the SEC?

Two of the globe&#8217;s largest chip manufacturers will clash in court this week due to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/intellectual-property">disagreement over intellectual property</a>.
What Happened: Arm Holdings plc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>) legal spat with Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) commenced Monday, Dec. 16, before a federal jury in Delaware, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-16/arm-qualcomm-contract-fight-threatens-to-upend-chip-industry?sref=TBDibEcD">reported</a>.
Recall Qualcomm's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/21/01/19148004/qualcomm-to-buy-startup-nuvia-in-1-4b-deal-what-investors-need-to-know">$1.4 billion acquisition of NUVIA</a>, a chip startup, in 2021. Just two years earlier, Arm granted licenses to NUVIA — assets Qualcomm eventually inherited.
Arm, headquartered in the U.K. and majority-owned by SoftBank Group, claims the Nuvia deal requires renegotiation. It also wants Qualcomm to destroy certain chip designs it received once the deal closed.
Qualcomm, in court documents, insists it has its own license agreements with Arm. &#8220;Qualcomm has licensed and paid for the same intellectual property that NUVIA licensed under its own separate agreements with ARM,&#8221; the statement <a href="https://semianalysis.com/wp-content/uploads/files/71776a9c-ee79-4c5c-947b-f7e98cf40bcc.pdf">reads</a>. 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">ETFs To Watch</h1>
As per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, chip ETFs closed in the green Monday:
<ul>
<li>VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) was up 0.56%</li>
<li>Invesco PHLX Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXQ#NASDAQ">SOXQ</a>) was up 0.49%</li>
<li>Columbia Semiconductor and Technology ET (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEMI#NYSE">SEMI</a>) was up 2.75%</li>
<li>Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NYSE">SOXL</a>) was up 5.88%</li>
</ul>
Why It Matters: The case — Arm v. Qualcomm, 22-cv-01146, US District Court, District of Delaware (Wilmington) — will likely see both CEOs, Arm&#8217;s Rene Haas and Qualcomm&#8217;s Cristiano Amon, take the stand.
This isn't the first time an M&amp;A agreement involving these companies sparked legal challenges. Back in 2020, Nvidia attempted to buy Arm for $40 billion, which threw San Diego-based Qualcomm and other tech companies into a panic.
Regulators sank the deal in 2022 when the Federal Trade Commission sued Nvidia to block the merger. Arm also faced substantial regulatory pressure from British authorities.&nbsp;
Fast-forward to today, and Arm is now trying to flex its muscles by pulling Qualcomm's license — worth an estimated $1.5 billion.
And Qualcomm is not known to give up easily. Recall its past licensing tussle with Apple, <a href="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2019/04/qualcomm-and-apple-agree-to-drop-all-litigation/">settled</a> in April 2019. 
What&#8217;s Next: Analysts predict the companies will eventually settle, probably with Qualcomm paying more to access Arm's tech. 
The proceedings are anticipated to conclude by Friday, Dec. 20.
It&#8217;s worth noting that the chips in question power most mainstream devices, and the legal dispute could have wide-ranging repercussions on the tech industry.
