On X on November 3, 2026, Jim Cramer posted a cryptic message saying an unnamed 'executioner' is selling Palantir and Apple right after both companies beat earnings estimates. On Tuesday at 10:43 AM ET, Palantir fell 3.98% to $171.24 and Apple fell 2.55% to $329.68. Palantir's third-quarter revenue reached $2.31 billion against a $2.18 billion estimate, up 95.87%, but total contract value grew only 6% and the stock trades at about 252x earnings. Apple posted $114.48 billion in revenue and $2.10 EPS, yet guided December-quarter gross margin to 45% to 46%, below 47.9% in the September quarter. The article argues that one day of selling says little about a long-term plan, and the more useful question is whether each holding still fits your risk budget.

- There's a 99% Chance That Democrats Retake the House, and History Says This Shift Will Have a Huge Impact on Stocks
According to prediction market Kalshi, as of 8:50 p.m. ET the odds of Democrats retaking the House had risen above 99%, meaning President Trump would likely face a divided Congress from January 2027. A Retirement Researcher review of S&P 500 returns from 1926 through 2023 found an average annual return of 7.33% during 34 years of divided Congress with a Republican president, compared with 16.63% during 15 years of divided Congress with a Democratic president. The article notes that gridlock would make major tax and spending legislation hard to pass, while debt-ceiling talks would be harder. UBS puts the chance of a Democratic sweep of both chambers at 50%. Still, Carson Group's Ryan Detrick notes that the six months after midterm elections have historically been strong, and the S&P 500 hasn't been down in the six- or 12-month period after a midterm over the last 75 years.
- SpaceX Could Match Google’s 27-Year Data Center Buildout In 18 Months, Outpace Even Chinese Rivals: SemiAnalysis
SemiAnalysis says SpaceX (SPCX) could build data center capacity matching Google's nearly three-decade buildout in just 18 months, reaching 13 GW by 2027 after raising its target from 10 GW. The firm has identified more than 9 GW of sites, including 3.6 GW under construction, and says SpaceX's build times of about five months at MiniHard and a targeted four months at Gun Range are far faster than the typical 8–12 months. However, it flags a possible power shortfall above 300 MW at Colossus 2, as tracked generation capacity of more than 8 GW falls short of over 9 GW of planned data center capacity. SpaceX's AI business includes Anthropic's May agreement to use all of Colossus 1's capacity and Google's access to about 110,000 GPUs, with a combined annual contract value of $26 billion. SPCX rose nearly 4% to $141.31 on Tuesday, its second straight gain, though it is down 12% year to date.

- Russia Warns of a “Bad Winter” and a Painful Paradox in Europe
Gazprom CEO Aleksey Miller warned that European gas prices could double and exceed $2,500 per 1,000 cubic meters, citing record-low storage levels. European underground gas storage is only about 74% full, the lowest since 2009 and well below the five-year seasonal average of 86%, while Germany stands at about 61.6%. Equinor CEO Anders Opedal also acknowledged storage is at its lowest seasonal level since 2011, and wholesale gas prices hit a near four-year high above 108 USD/MWh in late October. Household gas prices in Germany rose 55% this year, and some fertilizer, chemical and steel producers have cut output, while energy majors such as Shell posted profits of $12.1 billion from July to September 2026. Brussels is pressing ahead with bans on Russian gas, with long-term LNG contracts prohibited from January 2027 and pipeline contracts expected to end in late 2027.
