Dan Nathan and Guy Adami break down a wild week across markets — memory stocks in freefall, Google's brutal two-day selloff, and why China's AI models are closing the gap without top-tier Nvidia chips.
Micron cratered from its all-time high of $1,255 to $800 in a matter of weeks, and the DRAM ETF whipsawed right along with it. Guy and Dan dig into whether this is a routine flush or something bigger. Google sold off 10% after Gemini news broke the hyperscaler rotation narrative, and they debate whether the moat still holds given decelerating margins and ballooning capex.
On the China front: DeepSeek raised $7B at a $52B valuation, Alibaba announced $50B in capex, and Moonshot's new model is narrowing the gap with US labs — all without access to Nvidia's most advanced chips. Dan and Guy also revisit the Nvidia-vs-component-suppliers margin debate, unpack Apple's surprising rally into earnings, and call the technical line in the sand on Netflix after its cash flow miss cut the stock in half.
Plus: a quick check on crude, refiners hitting new highs, and what's next for energy names like Exxon and ConocoPhillips.

Dan Nathan hosts Damien Lewke, CEO and founder of AI-native cybersecurity company Nebulock. Lewke recounts his career from nation-state defense at Northrop Grumman to CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, MIT research in NLP, and leading AI detections at Arctic Wolf. They discuss how the threat surface has expanded with distributed environments and how the ChatGPT moment accelerated both defensive usability and offensive capability. Lewke explains Nebulock’s “hunt-first” mission to give any team machine-speed detection and response, positioning it across converging markets like SIEM, MDR, AI SOC, and insider threat/UEBA. The conversation covers enterprise AI adoption, supply-chain risk, investor perceptions following “Mythos” breach disclosures and agent security as insider risk.

Dan Nathan welcomes Deirdre Bosa to the Okay, Computer podcast to discuss her upcoming daily Yahoo Finance show, “Deirdre Bosa Live,” launching November 9 and airing weekdays 1–2 PM PT. They dig into how Microsoft has shifted Copilot toward a model-agnostic approach—routing tasks to the most cost-effective models amid open-source commoditization—while also launching its Maia 300 custom AI chip to manage supply and spending uncertainty. The conversation touches on Meta’s product-driven resurgence, enterprise adoption dynamics, and investor concerns about AI infrastructure capex and debt. They compare emerging personal AI assistants (Muse, Instinct, and OpenAI “Dot”), emphasizing utility, branding, and trust/security as prerequisites for broader adoption, with Apple and identity layers like 1Password seen as potential catalysts. They close on China’s low-cost, high-volume token usage pressuring global pricing and shaping open-source competition.
