MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), a stock considered an alternative to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) investment, received a bullish signal from moving average (MA) technical indicators.
What happened: According to the financial market analytics <a href="https://in.tradingview.com/symbols/NASDAQ-MSTR/technicals/">platform </a>TradingView, nearly all of the simple and exponential MAs flashed a &#8220;Buy&#8221; rating for the stock, culminating in a net &#8220;Strong Buy&#8221; signal.
Moving averages smooth out price data by creating a constantly updated average price. Typically, if the price is above a moving average, the trend is up. If the price is below a moving average, the trend is down.
On the contrary, momentum indicators painted a different story. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator, which compares a stock&#8217;s short-term price to its long-term price, flashed a ‘Sell' signal as of this writing.
Similarly, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator used for spotting overbought or oversold conditions showed a ‘Neutral' reading for the stock.

The analysis of MicroStrategy's options trading market also exhibited a bearish sentiment.
The stock had a Put/Call Ratio of 1.2 as of this writing, according to the market analytics <a href="https://fintel.io/sopt/us/mstr">platform </a>Fintel, indicating that downside bets outnumbered bullish ones.
Why It Matters: MicroStrategy adopted Bitcoin as its primary reserve asset in August 2020, becoming the first publicly listed company to pursue this strategy.
Since then, it has gained 1989% in value, surpassing some of the biggest names on Wall Street, including artificial intelligence darling Nvidia Corp. The company's stock has outperformed the famed &#8220;Mag 7&#8221; group of companies in 2024, with year-to-date gains of 225%.
MicroStrategy holds about 252,220 BTCs, worth $17.37 billion, on its balance sheet, as per its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41646462/michael-saylor-says-bitcoin-remedy-to-fix-unhealthy-balance-sheets-as-microstrategy-unveil">recently released third-quarter earnings report.&nbsp;</a>
The firm announced that it would raise $42 billion over the next three years through equity and debt financing to buy more Bitcoin.

Vanguard has surpassed BlackRock as the manager of the world&#8217;s second-largest ETF. 
What Happened: Vanguard&#8217;s S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>) has edged past BlackRock&#8217;s iShares Core S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVV#NYSE">IVV</a>) in terms of assets. As of last Friday, VOO held $540.76 billion, slightly exceeding IVV&#8217;s $540.66 billion, based on Morningstar data. This marks a notable change, as VOO was $58 billion behind IVV at the start of 2022, Financial Times<a href="https://www.ft.com/content/3067c4ce-8d0e-4307-8b1a-a7edd21639ff?ref=biztoc.com"> reported</a> on Tuesday.
VOO is now trailing the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) by $50 billion, which remains the largest ETF globally. Analysts, including Bryan Armour from Morningstar, predict that VOO could surpass SPY by 2025 or 2026 if its current growth continues.

Vanguard&#8217;s broader S&amp;P 500 vehicle holds $1.28 trillion in assets, ranking as the second-largest investment fund globally. Meanwhile, the net assets held by BlackRock&#8217;s IVV ETF is $540.10 Billion. 
As per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, as of Monday, the net asset value (NAV) of year-to-date (YTD) returns of VOO has risen 21.10%. On the other hand, the NAV of YTD returns of IVV has been higher by&nbsp;21.43%. 
Both Vanguard and BlackRock&#8217;s ETFs charge an annual fee of 3 basis points, attracting retail investors. The ETF market has seen substantial growth, with assets exceeding $10 trillion in the U.S., nearly doubling over four years, according to ETFGI.
Why It Matters: The rise of Vanguard&#8217;s VOO reflects a broader trend of investors gravitating towards lower-cost ETFs. In May, a significant shift among major ETFs, with<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38738050/investors-flock-to-lower-cost-vanguard-s-p-500-etf-is-it-time-to-switch-from-spy-to-voo"> SPY experiencing outflows</a> while VOO attracted new investments. This trend indicates a growing preference for cost-effective investment options among investors.
Additionally, in September, Vanguard&#8217;s ETFs<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/09/41033617/voo-vs-vti-vanguards-s-p-500-total-stock-market-etfs-hit-new-highs-as-s-p-500-reaches-record-level"> reached new highs</a> as the S&amp;P 500 Index hit record levels, further solidifying Vanguard&#8217;s position in the market.

Ford Motor Co.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) electric vehicle sales in the U.S. dropped 8.3% in October following a drop in demand for its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ford-f-150-lightning">F-150 Lightning EV pickup truck</a>.
What Happened: Ford sold 6,264 electric vehicles in October, with its Mustang Mach-E SUV accounting for a majority of sales. 
The company delivered 3,313 units of the electric SUV, marking a surge of about 21% from the corresponding month last year. F-150 Lightning sales, however, dropped by about 50% to 1,863 units, dragging overall EV sales lower. 
Sales of the E-Transit electric van, meanwhile, jumped 181%.

<figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: Ford</figcaption></figure>
Despite the drop in EV sales, Ford&#8217;s overall vehicle sales soared over 15% last month to 172,756 units, owing to the rise in sales for both hybrid and internal combustion engine vehicles. Combustion engine vehicles accounted for about 86% of the company&#8217;s overall vehicle sales during the month. 
Why It Matters: Last week, Ford said that it would halt production of the F-150 Lightning for six weeks from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41661764/ford-to-halt-f-150-ev-production-for-7-weeks-next-month" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nov. 18 to Jan. 6</a>&nbsp;at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Plant.
&#8220;We continue to adjust production for an optimal mix of sales growth and profitability," a company spokesperson told <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga</a> about the decision.
The Lightning pickup truck is up against Tesla's Cybertruck in the U.S. While Tesla sold 16,692 Cybertrucks in the third quarter, Ford sold only 7,162 units of the Lightning, according to data from<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41325252/tesla-cybertruck-leads-the-pack-as-most-popular-ev-truck-in-us-in-q3-outselling-rivals-from-ford-gm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;Kelley Blue Book</a>.
In August, Ford said that it is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/08/40496864/ford-scraps-electric-suv-as-it-adjusts-to-lower-electric-vehicle-demand" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">killing its plans to build a three-row electric SUV</a>, initially slated for production in 2025. The company also postponed its plans for a new electric version of its F-150 pickup to 2027 and said it will start making a new electric commercial van in 2026.
For the third quarter, Ford&#8217;s EV segment called &#8220;Model e&#8221; reported an EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) loss of $1.2 billion after&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41597865/fords-ev-segment-weighed-down-by-pricing-pressures-competition-ceo-jim-farley-points-out-very-aggres" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">cost improvements were offset by industrywide pricing pressure</a>, taking its loss this year through the end of September to $3.7 billion. The company now expects a full-year EBIT loss of $5 billion from the segment.
Price Action: Ford shares closed up by about 1.4% on Monday at $10.36. The stock is down by about 14.8% year-to-date, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Microsoft co&#8211;founder Bill Gates has shared his insights on the future of workplace efficiency, emphasizing the transformative role of AI agents. In a conversation with Reid Hoffman and Aria Finger during Wednesday&#8217;s episode of &#8220;Possible&#8221; podcast, Gates highlighted that AI will drastically change task execution.
What Happened: Gates elaborated on AI&#8217;s potential to handle complex tasks, particularly in white-collar sectors, surpassing initial expectations. He noted the surprising sequence in which AI has affected job types, with the automation of white-collar tasks preceding that of blue-collar ones. Gates foresees AI robots performing tasks at construction sites and hotels within a decade.
Reflecting on his original vision of a PC on every desk, Gates predicted that AI would extend this concept. He envisions natural language becoming the primary programming language, enabling everyone to have a coding assistant. This shift will allow for more efficient data navigation and business operations without needing custom software.

Gates also mentioned the potential for AI to streamline software applications, suggesting that many current applications could be consolidated into comprehensive systems. 
&#8220;You know we&#8217;ll all have an agent that is a utilitarian help you get things done&#8230;your agent can figure out okay which parts of that are important enough to to take your time to understand,&#8221; he said.
Why It Matters: The conversation aligns with ongoing discussions about AI&#8217;s impact on the workforce. In a recent podcast, Gates and Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/39084794/will-ai-take-over-our-jobs-bill-gates-asks-if-ai-can-support-blue-collar-jobs-as-it-is-already-d">explored AI&#8217;s role </a>in technological advancement, particularly in the workforce. Studies indicate that 37% of companies have already replaced staff with AI, with 44% predicting AI-driven layoffs in 2024.
Furthermore, Hoffman has predicted the end of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/08/40473377/linkedin-co-founder-predicts-the-death-of-9-to-5-jobs-by-2034-how-ai-the-gig-economy-will-reshape-th">traditional 9-to-5 job by 2034</a>, attributing this shift to AI and the gig economy. This transformation offers increased productivity and flexibility but raises concerns about stable employment.
Additionally, billionaire Vinod Khosla has predicted that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41196355/ai-will-do-most-jobs-better-faster-cheaper-silicon-valley-billionaire-vinod-khosla-calls-for-uni">AI will replace</a> most human jobs over the next 25 years. He suggests that AI could perform 80% of all jobs, including those of primary care doctors, salespeople, and engineers, more efficiently than humans.

Microsoft Co-Founder Bill Gates Says Everyone In Future Will Have A 'Utilitarian AI Agent' That Will Help You At Work

Detroit-based automaker General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) said on Monday that it surpassed selling its 300,000th electric vehicle in the U.S. since 2016 in October. 
What Happened: &#8220;We have more great EVs coming soon, like Cadillac's OPTIQ and ESCALADE IQ, ensuring that when you're ready to make the switch to an all-electric vehicle, you won't have to compromise,&#8221; the company said in a statement. &#8220;GM has spent decades advancing EV technology.&#8221;
GM made a battery electric car as far back as late 90s called the EV1 but the program was eventually terminated in 2001. 
Tesla Inc CEO Elon Musk said in June 2023 that if General Motors had made more EV1s, they would have been the leaders in electric vehicles today. "But they didn't, so there was need for Tesla,&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/06/32910764/general-motors-would-have-been-ev-leaders-if-they-made-more-ev1s-says-tesla-ceo-elon-musk">he said</a>.
According to data from automotive research company Kelley Blue Book, Tesla sold 471,374 EVs in the U.S. through the end of the third quarter, exceeding GM&#8217;s EV sales across nearly 8 years.
Why It Matters: In the third quarter, GM became the second best-seller of EVs in the U.S. after Tesla after selling over 32,000 EVs, with the Chevrolet Equinox EV accounting for a majority of the deliveries.
GM had the longest EV lineup in the U.S. among major players including Tesla in the quarter with eight EV models on sale. 
"We are on track to produce and wholesale approximately 200,000 EVs this year and reach variable profit positive in Q4. Our EV momentum is growing," company CFO&nbsp;Paul A Jacobson&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41485013/gm-accelerates-its-ev-ambitions-after-a-strong-q3-in-us-powers-it-past-ford-aims-for-200k-wholes">said </a>during the company&#8217;s third-quarter earnings call last month. 
For the third quarter, GM reported better-than-expected<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41462946/general-motors-strong-q3-earnings-impress-analysts-highlights-turnaround-and-ev-pro" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> results</a>.
GM's quarterly adjusted earnings per share of $2.96 beat the street view of $2.43. Quarterly sales of $48.757 billion also beat the analyst consensus estimate of $44.585 billion.
The company also raised 2024 adjusted EPS guidance from $9.50 – $10.50 to $10.00 – $10.50.

Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) announced it will make its open-source Llama artificial intelligence models available to U.S. government agencies working on national security and defense applications, marking a significant expansion of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41734318/mark-zuckerbergs-nuclear-powered-ai-ambitions-at-meta-stung-by-rare-bees">technology&#8217;s authorized use cases</a>.
The social media giant is partnering with major government contractors and technology firms including Amazon.com Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Amazon Web Services, Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), and Palantir Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) to implement these AI models across various defense initiatives.
&#8220;As an American company, and one that owes its success in no small part to the entrepreneurial spirit and democratic values the United States upholds, Meta wants to play its part to support the safety, security and economic prosperity of America – and of its closest allies too,&#8221; said Nick Clegg, President of Global Affairs at Meta.
Several contractors have already begun implementing Llama in their operations:
<ul>
<li>Oracle is using the technology to improve aircraft maintenance by helping technicians diagnose problems more quickly</li>
<li>Scale AI is fine-tuning the model for national security missions and identifying potential vulnerabilities</li>
<li>Lockheed Martin has integrated Llama into its AI Factory for code generation and data analysis</li>
<li>Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure are hosting the models on secure cloud platforms for sensitive government data</li>
</ul>

Why It Matters: Meta emphasized that making Llama available for defense applications aligns with U.S. interests in the global AI race, particularly as nations like China invest heavily in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/11/41718416/exclusive-top-20-most-searched-tickers-on-benzinga-pro-in-october-2024-where-do-tesla-nvidia-apple-d">developing their own open-source models</a>.
The company noted that large language models can support various aspects of national security, including streamlining logistics, tracking terrorist financing, and strengthening cyber defenses.
Beyond military applications, Meta highlighted broader public sector benefits, with Deloitte implementing Llama-based solutions for government agencies and nonprofits to improve public service delivery in areas such as education and energy.

PolitiFi tokens themed around Donald Trump and Kamala Harris were getting dumped ahead of the Tuesday presidential elections.
What happened: Maga, the largest Trump-inspired coin, dropped 0.5% over the last 24 hours, while Maga Hat crashed over 16% in this period, <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/categories/politifi">according </a>to CoinGecko.
Doland Tremp, parodying the former president's name, also tanked over 6%.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, coins mimicking Vice President Kamala Harris weren't spared either, with Kamala Horris, the largest of all Harris-themed tokens in terms of market cap, slipping 9%.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-table">

That said, on a weekly timeframe, KAMA was the clear winner, soaring 58% while most Trump-themed tokens bled heavily.
PolitiFi tokens have been a rage this election year. As the name suggests, these tokens incorporate political themes and campaigns into the cryptocurrency realm.&nbsp;
TRUMP, rooted in Trump's "Make America Great Again" movement, has been the biggest beneficiary, surging an astounding 1171% year-to-date. KAMA, on the other hand, has fallen 62% this year.

Why It Matters: These moves come as both presidential candidates gear up for the ultimate fight on Tuesday.
Betting platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi are <a href="https://polymarket.com/">leaning </a>toward a Trump win, though the GOP nominee's odds fell drastically over the weekend.
Election polls, however, painted a tighter race, with a new Emerson College election poll <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/11/41728436/trump-vs-harris-2024-election-deadlocked-final-emerson-poll-shows-one-candidate-with-small-edge-">showing the two candidates</a> deadlocked at 49%.&nbsp;
