Boo! 

The bulls are back from the dead, and they’re dragging the bears through the haunted woods of Q3 earnings.

Futures are glowing green under the full moon this Halloween morning — because Amazon just dropped its best earnings since 2015, sending tech stocks howling higher.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang added more fuel to the fire, declaring that “AI is in a virtuous cycle of growth.” Translation? The machines aren’t coming for us — they’re compounding for us. The AI flywheel is spinning faster than a witch’s broom in a tailwind, and every data point is another treat for the trillion-dollar club.

Apple’s grinning like a jack-o’-lantern on launch night, flexing “off-the-chart” demand for the iPhone 17. 

Meanwhile, Uncle Sam’s still stuck in a coffin — government shutdown: day 31. Two paychecks missed, airports grinding to a halt, and small businesses bleeding $12 billion in lost revenue. The only thing scarier than trick-or-treaters this year is your 1040.

Still, earnings season is handing out candy bags of green: Reddit, Coinbase, and MicroStrategy are all sugar-rushing into the weekend.

Welcome to Halloween on Wall Street — where the bulls are back, the bears are buried, and even the ghosts are trading AI options.

The market wrapped up October with a monster mash of moves:

• SPX and QQQ danced at record highs like zombies at an afterparty.
  
  

• Tech led the resurrection with blowout earnings from Google, Amazon, and Apple — proving the AI trade still has teeth.
  
  

• Oil slipped, haunted by weak global demand and new nuclear-testing chatter.
  
  

• Rare earths rallied, powered by defense and energy contracts as America scrambles to secure its minerals before China slams the export door.
  
  

• And yes, the government is still closed… but Wall Street? Wide open and cashing in.
  
  

Brighthouse Financial — +23% after news Aquarian Holdings wants to take the insurer private. Trick? Nope, pure treat.

Amazon (AMZN) — +12%. Best earnings since 2015, with cloud revenue blasting expectations. $1.95 EPS on $180 B in sales. Bezos would be proud.

Apple (AAPL) — +2%. iPhone 17 demand “off the charts,” and Tim Cook’s smile could light a pumpkin patch.

Ramaco Resources — +13%. Signed a DOE deal for rare-earth mining — the “new gold rush” for 2026.

Twilio (TWLO) — +11%. Beat on both top and bottom lines. Cloud’s not just alive — it’s levitating.

Western Digital (WDC) — +9%. Beat across the board. Data hoarders rejoice.

Intuitive Machines (LUNR) — +5%. Got an $8.2 M Air Force contract for nuclear-powered space tech. Cue the “nuke the moon” memes.

MicroStrategy (MSTR) — +6%. Bitcoin treasury + software wins = crypto candy.

Pony.ai — +5%. Got the greenlight to operate fully driverless robotaxis in Shenzhen. The future just hit the gas.

Cboe Global Markets (CBOE) — +1%. Solid quarter, selling off some global ops to refocus. Smart move, steady hand.

Charter (CHTR) — −5%. Revenue beat but profits missed. Cable’s haunted by cord-cutters again.

Dexcom (DXCM) — −12%. Soft guidance for 2026. That’s one sour apple in the candy bucket.

Newell Brands (NWL) — −18%. Sharpie sales can’t draw profits. Coleman camping division? Still lost in the woods.

Strengths:
Big Tech earnings are flexing like superheroes in capes. AI is now the market’s monster-maker — every chip, cloud, and data-point feeding a self-reinforcing cycle just like Jensen said. Sector rotation into rare earths and defense is breathing life into lagging industrials.

Weaknesses:
Oil’s slipping into the shadows, haunted by weak global demand and nuclear chatter. The government shutdown is quietly eating into GDP — two missed paychecks = consumer slowdown. Credit markets are tightening like Dracula’s cape.

Opportunities:
Rare earths and nuclear tech are emerging as the new strategic plays. The “off-world” economy — space, defense, and AI energy systems — could be the next multi-trillion-dollar playground. Traders who align early will own the future frontier.

Threats:
Nuclear-testing risk, energy volatility, and political paralysis. If the shutdown drags into Thanksgiving, expect a retail chill colder than the grave. Tighten stops and trade the turn, not the trend.

Trade the turn, not the turbulence. The real monsters are hesitation and hope.
