Starting with the bidding war for Warner Brothers, Discovery, Netflix, Paramount and Comcast, parent company of this network, submitting offers by yesterday's deadline. Netflix and our own parent company Comcast are said to want the company's studio and streaming businesses. David Ellison wants to combine the entire company with Paramount to create a counterweight to to some of the tech giants. So we're going to see how all of this pans out. Meantime, we're watching shares of Nvidia this morning. This after yesterday's reversal contributed to what was a big market sell off. The stock is lower again this morning in premarket trading, down by more than 6.5% week to date. And prediction market Kalsi has now raised $1 billion in its latest fundraising round at a valuation of $11 billion, according to TechCrunch.
