Summary

Carl Quintanilla and Jim Cramer discussed stocks rebounding from Monday's losses and Bitcoin rising after its worst day since March. Hear what Cramer said about Strategy Executive Chairman Micheal Saylor — the company's stock is down more than 60% from its year high. On the AI trade, the anchors reacted to reports that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is declaring a "code red" to improve ChatGPT in wake of heightened competition from Google's Gemini AI model. Also in focus: The news that caused shares of Nvidia to jump, Apple's AI shakeup, Amazon tests ultrafast delivery, Ford November auto sales, consumers and the new car sales slowdown, the jump in the 30-year bond yield and what's at stake for the housing market and homebuilders.
