▼ + stars: | 2024-10-08 | by ( Annie Palmer | In Annierpalmer | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Dave Clark, Amazon 's former CEO of global consumer, who briefly helmed logistics company Flexport, is returning to the startup world. Prior to Flexport, Clark developed a storied reputation during his 23 years at Amazon as the architect of its mammoth logistics network. In 2020, Amazon tapped Clark to head its core retail business after longtime executive Jeff Wilke left the company. Clark joined Flexport to bring what he had built at Amazon to "small businesses and other businesses around the world." He left the startup feeling there was still a gap in the market for supply chain tools, and began to develop the idea behind Auger.

Some Spirit Halloween locations will be busy for longer than usual this year. Spirit Halloween will operate 10 stores through the entire holiday season as "Spirit Christmas," a spokesperson confirmed with CNBC. Not all stores will be converted from existing Spirit Halloween locations. "Spirit Christmas is a new concept for us, and we're hopeful it will resonate with our customers," a spokesperson for Spirit Halloween told CNBC. The first 10 locations will act as a test to see whether customers will stay invested through the holiday season.

☆ Google’s search dominance is unwinding
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-08 | by ( David Goldman | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +5 min

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.

☆ Jim Cramer looks at Amazon and Apple and why it can be tough to sit on good stocks
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-08 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Tuesday described why it can be difficult for investors to sit on solid stocks. "In the last decade, the toughest thing to do is to hold on to good stocks," he said. Cramer recapped action in the stocks of Apple and Amazon , which received downgrades on Monday — ratings with which Cramer disagreed. Both stocks sold off heavily on Monday, he pointed out, but they recovered by Tuesday — hampering investors' chances of buying back shares if they sold during the previous session. "I need you to understand that when analysts downgrade after stocks have already been hammered, when really good investors ignore the positives, then, it may be a grim time," Cramer said.

☆ Deloitte feels the wrath of Trump world over leaked JD Vance messages
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-08 | by ( Matt Egan | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

CNN —Trump allies are calling for the federal government to punish Deloitte after an employee at the consulting firm apparently shared his private messages with JD Vance. The Post did not reveal who corresponded with Vance, now Trump’s running mate, and leaked those communications. “Maybe it’s time for the GOP to end Deloitte’s taxpayer funded gravy train?” Trump Jr. wrote on X, noting that Deloitte receives billions of dollars in government contracts. Trump Jr. told CNN he was speaking his mind as a private citizen. Neither Trump nor Vance have publicly threatened Deloitte, and it’s worth noting that Trump Jr. has indicated he does not plan to serve in the federal government.

Israel observes the first anniversary of the Oct. 7 attacks as it steps up attacks on Gaza and Lebanon. The people of Gaza have endured an unmitigated humanitarian catastrophe as Israel carries out one of the most intensive bombing campaigns in history. Gaza was already impoverished, overcrowded and largely inescapable, blockaded by Israel and Egypt for 17 years. Life-threatening storm surges are due to hit the state’s Gulf Coast as Hurricane Milton is set to make landfall on Wednesday.
