Bloomberg•7 hours agoFour Ways GE’s Crisis Could Play Out
The dramatic decline has investors asking themselves what the worst-case scenario could be as new Chief Executive Officer Larry Culp attempts a turnaround. If all goes as planned, GE will be a smaller, simpler and more stable company with businesses that sell aircraft jet engines, power-generation equipment and wind turbines. Revenue growth probably won’t be spectacular and profit margins are likely to continue lagging industrial leaders such as Roper Technologies Inc. and 3M Co. But GE would have a shot at regaining a higher credit rating and reflating its dividend payment, helping to win back investors.

“It’s not good policy to have utilities unable to finance the services and infrastructure the state of California needs,” PUC President Michael Picker said in an interview. The end-of-day rally reversed hours of frantic selling, in which the utility fell the most since 2001, during the depths of the California power crisis. PG&E shares had plummeted 64 percent since Nov. 7 amid fears that it would be held liable for a catastrophic wildfire that has killed more than 50 people, destroyed thousands of homes and scorched over 140,000 acres.

Pension Planning: Lump Sum Versus Monthly Payments
Not so many years ago, financial advisors viewed retirement planning as a three-legged stool. The first leg was a pension, the second Social Security and the third a retiree's savings.

Semiconductor stocks, like the rest of the broader tech market, have been under heavy pressure in late 2018. A slowdown in the semiconductor market as well as the tariff wars between China and the U.S. have also affected sentiment in the sector. Although many of these chip stocks, including Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) and Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), are much cheaper than they were at the start of September, investors should not expect the choppiness in individual share prices to be over yet.

It’s Time to Buy NVDA Stock Before and After Earnings
Do you own Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA)? If you’ve held NVDA stock throughout 2018, you’re probably a very frustrated investor. Don’t get me wrong, on a calendar-year basis, I’d rather be a Nvidia shareholder — up 3.2% year to date through November 13 — than an owner of SNAP (NYSE:SNAP), which is down 47% and fading fast — but given the free cash flow growth it’s experiencing in 2018, it would be nice to see a little more upside.

NVIDIA Crashes 16% After Q3 Miss, Lowered Guidance
Shares of A.I. chip giant NVIDIA NVDA have fallen in a 16.5% crater in late trading today following the company's Q3 earnings report that missed expectations on both top and bottom lines, as well as disappointing guidance looking ahead. After two years of stellar growth in its Gaming and Data Center segments, we're seeing a leveling off for NVIDIA, and expectations have suddenly come down dramatically. The company itself cites "excess channel inventory" related to the "post-crypto currency boom, which will be corrected." Thus, revenue guidance for its fiscal Q4 in January has been ratcheted way down to $2.7 billion from the $3.4 billion analysts had been expecting.
