The Details: According to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-22/robinhood-s-gallagher-drops-out-of-sec-chair-consideration?sref=TBDibEcD">Bloomberg</a>, Dan Gallagher, chief legal officer at Robinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) has removed himself from consideration as head of the SEC.
Gallagher expressed his intention to remain at Robinhood in an emailed statement. 
&#8220;It is always an honor to have your name in the mix for an incredibly important job like SEC Chairman. However, I have made it clear that I do not wish to be considered for this position,&#8221; Gallagher said.&nbsp;
&#8220;I am committed to Robinhood and our millions of customers who represent the new generation of retail investors.&#8221;

Gallagher has been Robinhood's chief legal officer since 2020. He steered the company through the GameStop Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) meme stock saga and Trump considered him a top <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41212008/trump-considers-robinhood-exec-dan-gallagher-for-sec-chair-if-re-elected">contender for the position</a>. He was a Republican SEC commissioner from 2011 to 2015, and previously served in other senior roles in the agency. 
The crypto community favored Gallagher, feeling he would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41876266/bitcoin-blasts-past-82000-buy-everything-you-can-says-bernstein">help to advance</a> pro-crypto regulatory change.
Among the other names being floated for SEC chair include: Robert Stebbins, the SEC's former general counsel; Paul Atkins, former SEC commissioner; and Brian Brooks, former <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/42053981/trump-sec-pick-speculation-sends-this-altcoin-soaring-past-bitcoin-and-ethereum-in-daily-gains">cryptocurrency executive</a> and former acting comptroller of the currency. 
As for Gallagher, he will stay on as head legal counsel at Robinhood.&nbsp;
"I will remain a vocal and consistent advocate for positive change in our markets,&#8221; Gallagher said. He added that he is &#8220;excited to work with the incoming Trump Administration, including the next SEC Chairman and the SEC staff, to promote innovation and provide more opportunity for retail investors.&#8221;

Despite widespread anticipation that NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)'s quarterly results would dictate Wall Street's year-end trajectory, the stock market delivered a robust weekly rebound — even in the absence <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVDA/news">of its AI darling.</a>
While the semiconductor titan beat analyst expectations on both earnings and revenue for the third quarter, Nvidia's stock remained flat for the week.
Alphabet Inc.

Shares tumbled after the U.S. Department of Justice called for the divestiture of Chrome in a bid to curb Google's dominance in search and digital advertising.
The sell-off wiped out over $120 billion in market capitalization on Thursday alone.
A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42140450/doj-targets-google-chrome-poll-shows-64-oppose-alphabet-breakup-youtube-seen-as-top-prize">recent Benzinga poll indicates</a> 64% of respondents oppose breaking up Alphabet, with YouTube viewed as the company's most valuable asset.

The services sector, in particular, surged at its fastest pace since March 2022, while price pressures continued to recede, creating less headwinds for the Federal Reserve.
Bitcoin&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rally shows no signs of cooling, with the cryptocurrency notching its fourth consecutive week of gains and hovering around the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42130693/bitcoins-path-to-100k-inevitable-but-leverage-to-the-gills-warns-mike-novogratz-predicts-80k-correction-ahead">historic $100,000 threshold.</a>
The U.S. dollar also maintained its upward momentum, rising for the eighth straight week to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/24/11/42138717/dollar-hits-2-year-highs-as-europes-recession-signals-spark-euro-pound-sell-offs">reach two-year highs.</a> This latest rally, however, stemmed largely from external turmoil, as escalating geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine, coupled with worsening economic momentum in Europe, triggered sharp weekly sell-offs in the euro and the British pound.

Bill Gates outspent fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos to construct one of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/40860724/bezos-doesnt-sunbathe-alone-on-his-25m-a-year-superyacht-as-he-hosts-kim-kardashian-leonard">most expensive yachts ever</a>. Yet, he doesn&#8217;t seem too keen on owning it for himself.
What Happened: The Microsoft co-founder, known for his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/10/41580000/bill-gates-turns-69-5-things-you-might-not-know-about-microsoft-co-founder">emphasis on sustainable energy</a>, commissioned a superyacht to be made using fuel cells.
The groundbreaking vessel, known as Breakthrough, has completed its sea trials. It is also set to be sold after Gates passed on buying it, as <a href="https://luxurylaunches.com/transport/bill-gates-645-million-fuel-cell-superyacht-has-finally-completed-its-extensive-sea-trials-powered-by-liquid-hydrogen-stored-at-a-bone-chilling-423f-nearly-as-cold-as-outer-space-the-mammo.php">reported </a>by LuxuryLaunches.
The $645 million superyacht is powered by liquid hydrogen, and stored at -423 degrees Fahrenheit. That makes it nearly as cold as outer space.
Along with using hydrogen power to travel, the yacht&#8217;s amenities are powered with emission-free energy thanks to green hydrogen.
Breakthrough completed trials near Amsterdam. The boat now heads to Edmiston, a seller of luxury yachts.
Coming in at 390 feet long, the Breakthrough is not quite as long as Bezos&#8217; 417-foot Koru vessel. Recall how the Amazon.com founder had difficulty getting the $500-million boat <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/08/28385974/jeff-bezos-500-million-superyacht-has-been-relocated-after-bridge-controversy-avoids-getting-egged-i">out of a shipyard.</a>
The Koru, which has its own support vessel spanning 250 feet long, comes with estimated annual operating costs of $25 million.
Breakthrough comes with an even higher price tag and is the first superyacht to be fuel-cell powered. It also features many amenities fit for Gates: a library, movie theater, basketball court, pool and onboard fully equipped hospital.
You may not be a billionaire like Bill Gates, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/10/41187322/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
What&#8217;s Next: Gates not taking ownership of the superyacht could take away from the huge fuel-cell accomplishment. Also, there are relatively few potential owners who can afford the $645 million price tag.
"The brief was to build the greenest and most environmentally advanced yacht ever built, without compromise," Edmiston CEO Jamie Edmiston previously said, as <a href="https://www.forbes.com.au/life/boats/first-look-at-game-changing-1-billion-hydrogen-superyacht/">reported </a>by Forbes. "It was a huge challenge, but one that the team has embraced and delivered on."
It is unknown why Gates decided not to take ownership of the superyacht he commissioned.
Gates, the sixth-richest person in the world, is worth an estimated $160 billion according to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/?sref=TBDibEcD">Bloomberg</a>.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) and Best Buy ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday may be in for an unpleasant surprise <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/11/42094649/nvidia-stock-historically-drops-in-december-after-q3-earnings">as December kicks in.</a>
Despite the holiday shopping frenzy, historical data spanning decades suggests December is not the ideal month to invest in these retail behemoths.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">December Is (Not) The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year For Walmart</h2>
Over the last 20 years, December has been Walmart&#8217;s weakest month of the year. 
Shares of Walmart fell by an average of 1.1% during the month, marking their worst average monthly performance.
Adding to the gloom, Walmart shares have only closed December in positive territory 40% of the time—just 8 times in 20 years. This is the lowest winning ratio for any month in the calendar year.
The retailer&#8217;s worst December performance in recent history occurred in 2022, when Walmart shares tumbled 7% during the month.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="458" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22154522/image-257-1024x458.png" alt="" class="wp-image-661722" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22154522/image-257-1024x458.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22154522/image-257-300x134.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22154522/image-257-768x343.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22154522/image-257-1536x686.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22154522/image-257.png 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
When extending the timeframe to 30 years, the data remains consistent: December is still Walmart&#8217;s worst-performing month, with shares dropping 0.9% on average and maintaining a winning ratio of just 40%.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="458" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22154607/image-258-1024x458.png" alt="" class="wp-image-661724" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22154607/image-258-1024x458.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22154607/image-258-300x134.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22154607/image-258-768x343.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22154607/image-258-1536x686.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22154607/image-258.png 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Amazon Also Sees Red In December</h2>
Amazon.com Inc. also tends to falter during the holiday season. While the e-commerce giant doesn't post losses as steep as Walmart's, December ranks as Amazon's second-worst month for stock performance, trailing only February.
Over the last 20 years, Amazon shares have fallen an average of 0.27% in December, with a winning ratio of just 45%.
The worst December on record came recently in 2022, when Amazon's stock plummeted by 13%, reflecting broader market turbulence. 
However, December hasn't always been grim—Amazon saw some standout gains in the past, including a 20.1% rally in 2008 and an 11.6% jump in 2004.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Do Amazon And Walmart Struggle During the Holidays?</h3>
At first glance, the holiday season—a time of frenzied shopping activity—might seem like a boon for retail stocks. But Wall Street investors often shy away from buying retail giants like Amazon and Walmart during this period, and the reasons boil down to profit margins.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals may boost revenue, but they also weigh on profit margins. The steep discounts needed to attract consumers during the holidays often lead to margin compression, a red flag for investors prioritizing profitability.
The holiday period is typically when expectations for retail performance are already sky-high. If results don't meet or exceed those lofty benchmarks, stocks often sell-off.
