"This is not the end of the world for Nvidia," Woods emphasizes. While the stock is currently under scrutiny as the only Magnificent Seven stock declining since November 1, Woods maintains that Nvidia remains fundamentally strong. He says overall, the stock is still in an uptrend. However, he sees a "near-term head and shoulders top" formation, which he views as a potential buying opportunity for investors. "The fundamental story hasn't changed, nothing has changed there," Woods tells Madison Mills. "To me, this is just a pause." Addressing the Dow Jones Industrial Average's movement, Woods notes the index is down 3.78% in its nine day losing streak, with UnitedHealth (UNH) leading the decline by erasing 725 points. "The move is just a garden variety sell-off, but the amount of stocks that are down is a little head-scratching," he states. Woods points out one positive: technology, communications, and discretionary sectors continue to lead gains — the same sectors that initially propelled the current bull market.

Trump weighs eliminating EV tax credit. What it means for the auto industry. According to a new Reuters report, President-elect Donald Trump is expected to eliminate the electric vehicle (EV) tax credit. His administration is also considering rolling back investments in EV infrastructure, including charging stations and battery development. AutoGuide Editorial Director Greg Migliore joins Wealth! to analyze these potential changes. Migliore suggests that eliminating the EV tax credit could cause EV demand to "take a hit" as increased costs shift to consumers. He predicts this policy change might boost demand for hybrid and traditional gas-powered vehicles. When asked about automakers best positioned to weather these potential changes, Migliore identifies General Motors (GM), Ford (F), Hyundai (HYMTF), Toyota (TM), and Honda (HMC). He points to their diverse vehicle lineups spanning both EVs and conventional gas-powered options across various price points.
