- From Brooklyn to Home Depot, Walmart and Amazon: Mitch Gould's Retail Journey
The article profiles Mitch Gould, a Brooklyn native from a family in manufacturing and distribution, who has spent decades helping consumer brands reach major U.S. retailers. His career includes work with Home Depot, Lowe's, Walmart, Costco, CVS, Walgreens, GNC and Amazon, and with brands such as Rubbermaid, Sunbeam, Igloo and Miracle-Gro. A notable chapter was helping introduce more than 100 sports nutrition brands and products to Amazon's online marketplace with Muscle Foods and Amazon buyers. Gould says that although e-commerce changed how products are discovered and bought, core principles such as product selection, pricing, inventory and understanding customer demand remain the same.

- Gene Munster 'More Concerned' About Amazon and Alphabet — Says AI Bots Mean Shopping Edge 'Will Increasingly Be Under Attack'
Investor Gene Munster warned that personalized AI bots could erode Amazon's hold on online shopping and Alphabet's grip on search, as bots make it easy to find exactly what shoppers want. He said Alphabet must show whether AI Overviews and AI Mode can channel search traffic into personalized bot use, while Meta already has Walmart, Sephora and Best Buy as shopping partners for its Muse agent and Amazon has blocked it. Munster estimates current global daily bot usage at about 20 million and expects it to reach 2 billion within three years. Alphabet's Chief Business Officer Philipp Schindler said agentic experiences are 'clearly additive' to Search, though search growth slowed in the quarter due to currency and the 'lower monetization' of AI Mode.
- Amazon has a Muse problem. Is a deal with OpenAI a solution?
Laura Martin of Needham & Company said Amazon's move to block Meta's Muse shopping agent from its site is a typical defense by an incumbent, since roughly 85% of e-commerce is done on Amazon's website. She suggested Amazon consider a joint venture with OpenAI, owned 50/50, giving OpenAI access to Amazon for purchases while Amazon handles fulfillment, and said Amazon could work with several consumer AI agents rather than only one. Needham rates Meta 'hold', and Martin argued Meta moved first because other AI companies are compute constrained and have no revenue from consumer agents, so they are not yet pursuing the business.
- Elon Musk wants to start an Amazon competitor after Grok bot users say the company blocked them from placing orders
Musk and Bezos, the world's two richest people with fortunes of over $900 billion and a little under $400 billion, could compete directly in e-commerce. On October 15, a post on X claimed Amazon is blocking xAI's Grok bots from ordering, and Musk replied that maybe a competitor to Amazon should be started; the article notes it is unclear whether he was serious. According to the report, Amazon has also blocked several other AI agents, including Meta's Muse. Y Combinator co-founder Paul Graham argued this is an opening for a startup to compete with Amazon, since people will want AI agents to buy things for them and won't want to use an Amazon-supplied one. Representatives for Musk and Amazon did not respond to requests for comment.
- Musk floats Amazon rival as AI shopping battle comes into focus
Elon Musk floated the idea of starting a competitor to Amazon on X, responding to a post claiming Amazon was blocking Grok bots from placing orders on its platform. He gave no details or concrete plans. The remarks come as AI firms explore agents that buy goods for users, and Amazon has also blocked Meta's Muse AI shopping agent. Amazon shares fell 1.7% amid a broader tech selloff, which the article says was not an apparent reaction to Musk's comments, while building a rival would also require merchants, fulfillment and changed consumer habits.

- Semiconductor Sell-Off: The 1 AI Chip Stock I'd Buy and 1 I'd Avoid
The article argues a semiconductor sell-off may offer a chance to join the AI boom at a lower price, but not every chip stock is equally suited. Broadcom (AVGO) is viewed positively for AI semiconductor revenue up 221% year over year in fiscal Q3 2026, driven by custom accelerators and AI networking, and a forward P/E of about 18 that the author finds attractive. Its key risk is reliance on a small group of large customers. Intel (INTC) is described as in a turnaround, investing in its Intel 18A process and Intel Foundry, but its forward P/E of about 51 leaves less room for disappointment if execution falls short. The author concludes Broadcom is the stronger choice for investors seeking AI growth at a reasonable price.
- Binance hack may involve private key 'misuse,' not theft: Blockaid CEO
Blockaid CEO Ido Ben-Natan preliminarily assesses that attackers may have manipulated Binance's transaction-signing infrastructure rather than stealing private keys, with similarities to the February 2025 Bybit hack. In Blockaid's onchain analysis, the attacker bundled 50 EIP-7702 authorizations into one transaction targeting Binance 14, delegating the affected account to an unverified sweeper contract. Binance has not confirmed the method used to steal over $2.5 billion in crypto, which is described as the largest crypto hack in history. Ben-Natan said the activity may have involved multiple compromised devices, though this is unconfirmed, and its sophistication resembles operations linked to North Korean attackers.
- Is Alphabet Stock a Buy After Its Post-Earnings Drop?
Alphabet shares fell about 10% in after-hours trading on October 28, despite third-quarter revenue up 25% to $127.6 billion and Google Cloud revenue more than doubling. Earnings per share fell to $2.12 from $2.87, and free cash flow was negative for a second straight quarter as capital spending rose to $51.4 billion. The author argues the EPS decline looks worse than it is: excluding investment gains and losses, EPS rose about 22% to about $2.67, and Google Cloud revenue grew 103% to $30.7 billion. However, the operating margin fell to 31.8%, and the 2026 capex outlook of $195 billion to $205 billion points to continued heavy spending. The author says the stock at about 19 times expected 2027 earnings looks reasonably priced, though free cash flow may worsen before it improves.
