CNBC's Jim Cramer on Wednesday criticized the Department of Justice's potential remedies in the Google search-monopoly case, arguing that, if they were implemented, the California tech giant would be "a shell of its former self." In early August, Judge Amit Mehta ruled that Google used illegal practices to maintain a monopoly in the internet search market. "This is devastating," Cramer said Wednesday on "Squawk on the Street," reacting to the DOJ filing. The stock has lagged the S & P 500 considerably since the monopoly ruling was handed down Aug. 5. Including Wednesday's intraday move, shares are down more than 3.5% compared with a nearly 8% gain for the S & P 500.

☆ Russia cut off its troops from Discord, the video gaming comms tool they use to coordinate attacks in Ukraine

Russian troops have been using Discord to coordinate drone attacks, but it was banned on Tuesday. Federal regulators said they blocked the gaming messaging platform because it could be used for crime. Discord allows users to join a closed group voice call and livestream to other users from their screens or cameras. One pundit channel, Military Informant, blasted Roskomnadzor's decision as "madness," while another sarcastically thanked the regulator for giving Russian troops another challenge to "bypass the consequences of another wise decision."

I realize that this old dad is not the hippest, but I thought I’d always kept an eye on the media my sons consume. On the surface, it seems easy to pinpoint what attracts our young men to manfluencers. That is the true draw to our young men, a place where they are the elite and above others. Since teenagers can be hard to meet head-on, try connecting with sons by praising them to others and through communication. We can lead our sons past the false trappings of fancy cars and money, and the cruelty perpetuated by these manfluencers.

I am going to explore an interesting trade set-up using three exponential moving averages to identify a restaurant stock that will continue to trend downward. Looking at the one-year daily chart of Olive Garden-parent Darden Restaurants (DRI) , you'll notice the stock has faced resistance around the $175 level and is currently in a downtrend. I've highlighted several instances over the past year where the 10-day EMA crossed either above or below the 21-day EMA. The trade Building on this analysis, I'm considering a bearish strategy on DRI, using a trade structure known as a bear put spread. Adding 10 contracts to this trade risks $2500 to make $2500 and provides a robust ROI for the capital risked.

☆ Google’s search dominance is unwinding

New York CNN —Google is so synonymous with its core product that its name is a verb that means “search.” Yet Google’s dominance of that market is shrinking. For the first time in decades, Google next year will not control a majority of the US search market, according to a forecast by advertising research firm eMarketer. Google will remain the biggest search player, maintaining a 48% share of American search advertising revenue. That ruling could result in the eventual breakup of the company’s search business. TikTok, the fastest growing social network, is getting into into the search business.
