Play video for Tech Is Waking Up: Is This the Real Santa Rally?DetailsGuestsTech woke up this week, and we’re breaking down why. In this MarketBeat live episode, Bridget and Chris run through the biggest market headlines and your ticker requests as we head into Christmas week and the year-end push. Nvidia helped spark the move after news around H200 chip sales into China, and we also touch Tesla, big tech, cybersecurity, Boeing’s rebound, and the latest chaos in quantum stocks.

She is also an adoption and foster care advocate and helps support foster children and families through her nonprofit volunteer work. She and her husband, Jason, grew up together and have spent their lives exploring the world through travel, hiking and ministry.Chris Markoch, GuestMarketBeat Contributor, MarketBeatChris Markoch is a freelance financial copywriter with over five years of experience covering various aspects of the financial markets. You may find his writing a little different than other stock articles you’ve read. And that’s OK with him. Chris doesn’t have a traditional finance background. What he does bring to the table is a strong business and marketing background having worked for agencies that serviced Fortune 500 companies. With that in mind, he isn’t overly impressed with what companies say, and more focused on what they do. And because buyer behavior dictates so much of what happens with a stock, Chris always keeps the end consumer close in mind. Chris has been writing for MarketBeat since 2018.Previous VideoAll VideosNext Video Subscribe on YouTube Don't Miss a Video Subscribe to watch the latest stock market videos from MarketBeat.
