The US and Canada drive 70% of Netflix's revenue growth and are crucial for its future ad expansion. AdvertisementBy now, it's become a common refrain in Hollywood: Netflix has won the streaming wars. Amazon threw a wrench into Netflix's advertising ambitions by steamrolling into the market earlier this year. With subscriber growth potential limited in the US because Netflix is already quite saturated in the market, Netflix needs to ramp up ad revenue. While Netflix's ad tier growth is steadily adding inventory, those tech deals will take a couple of years to ramp up.

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Monday opined on the continuous success of Big Tech stocks in the market, explaining why the Magnificent Seven, as well as Netflix , continue to rally as the bull market persists. "Even if you've missed these rebounds in the Magnificent Seven plus Netflix, don't, don't sweat the program," he said. The Magnificent Seven includes Amazon , Alphabet , Apple , Microsoft , Nvidia , Meta and Tesla , and many of these stocks have seen declines in recent months followed by strong rebounds. And despite Tesla's robotaxi flop, Cramer said it's unwise to short the stock and bet against CEO Elon Musk. "Other groups can roar, too, in this market, perhaps because there's just a lot of money going around."

Fed rate cuts are likely to help push bitcoin and other risk assets higher, but some stablecoin issuers could suffer a hit to their revenue. Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC) dominate the market, making up 70% and 21%, respectively, according to CryptoQuant. "As rates begin to fall, that has a giant impact on their [profit and loss] and their bottom line." Stablecoins – cryptocurrencies that promise a fixed value peg to another asset, usually the U.S. dollar – are widely seen as crypto's killer app. Jeremy Allaire, CEO of USDC issuer Circle, told CNBC lower interest rates are "a very good thing" for the company because lower interest rates will likely increase investment and economic activity – which would benefit the company.

Certain toilet paper, tissue and office paper brands are made with materials from eucalyptus trees, a non-native species to Portugal. CNN PortugalThe problem is eucalyptus trees are particularly flammable. The eucalyptus tree is native to Australia and provides food and shelter to koalas, among other wildlife. As the Portuguese paper and timber industries grew in the mid-1900s, so too did eucalyptus plantations, and the species now covers nearly 2 million acres. In California, the eucalyptus tree has been naturalized, meaning it now grows beyond the places it was planted.

In a LinkedIn post on Tuesday, Dalio wrote of what he called a "beautiful deleveraging," or an aggressive, two-pronged approach to solving debt issues. Dalio wrote that Chinese leader Xi Jinping's unprecedented stimulus sparked a "big week" for economic optimism, but it won't be enough. The interest rate cuts would ideally be so drastic that they run below inflation and nominal growth rates, Dalio wrote. If Beijing doesn't start a "beautiful deleveraging," he said, it risks allowing its crisis to drag on and create an "economic and psychological malaise like Japan experienced."
