Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) stock fell 1.7% to $162.87 this week, as investors assessed the ripple effects of NVIDIA's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42101875/nvidia-beats-q3-revenue-eps-estimates-supply-constraints-ding-stock-huang-says-age-of-ai-is-in-full">third-quarter earnings report</a> on the broader semiconductor sector.
Nvidia, a key player in AI and data center markets where Broadcom also operates, posted strong results but provided a cautious fourth quarter outlook. The mixed market reaction to Nvidia&#8217;s report appeared to keep Broadcom shares in a holding pattern, reflecting broader uncertainties about growth prospects in the chip industry.
What To Know: Nvidia's robust performance underscored the ongoing demand for AI-related infrastructure, including advanced GPUs and complementary hardware, areas where Broadcom's networking and connectivity solutions play a critical role. 
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42119226/nvidia-analysts-see-stock-best-positioned-in-ai-not-worried-about-guidance-all-systems-go-for-blackwell-ramp">Analysts highlighted</a> Nvidia's next-generation Blackwell architecture as a significant driver of demand through 2025. However, Nvidia's guidance falling short of lofty expectations caused some profit-taking, illustrating the market&#8217;s sensitivity to growth narratives in the AI space.

Broadcom, a major supplier of chips for data centers and AI workloads, is often viewed as a complementary player to Nvidia, benefiting from the surge in demand for high-performance computing infrastructure. 
Investors have also been closely watching Broadcom's strategic moves in recent memory, particularly its ongoing diversification efforts, including its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/07/39692197/broadcom-issues-5b-in-debt-to-fund-vmware-acquisition">$61 billion acquisition</a> of VMware. 
This deal could further strengthen Broadcom's position in software-defined infrastructure, enhancing its ability to serve hyperscale data centers.
While Nvidia&#8217;s earnings highlighted sector strength, it also raised questions about near-term growth pacing. For Broadcom, the focus remains on its ability to capture a share of this evolving demand while leveraging its diverse portfolio.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy AVGO Stock?</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Broadcom &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, AVGO has a 52-week high of $186.42 and a 52-week low of $90.31.

Andrew Hones, CEO and founder of New Market Capital, unveiled &#8220;Battery Finance&#8221; on CNBC on Friday—an asset management platform combining <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/24/11/42069387/grant-cardone-calls-himself-a-coward-investor-puts-his-money-in-real-assets">traditional assets like real estate</a> with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
What Happened: In an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26bOawTzT5U">appearance</a> on Squawk Box, Hones announced a loan that blends a 63-unit multi-family property in Philadelphia with Bitcoin as collateral. 
A $2 million loan was issued to refinance the existing mortgage on the property, fund improvements and allocate funds for purchasing Bitcoin. 
The loan combines traditional real estate collateral with Bitcoin, diversifying risk.
Borrowers must hold Bitcoin in escrow for at least four years, ensuring stability. 
The crypto king adds a hedge against inflation and enhances asset protection compared to traditional loans reliant solely on property.
Borrowers can repay loans anytime without penalty, but Bitcoin collateral remains locked for four years. 
Hones noted that this hybrid approach pairs stable, cash-flowing assets with Bitcoin&#8217;s growth potential, creating a hedge against volatility.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42138947/bitcoin-zeroes-in-on-100000-but-this-indicator-signals-one-more-brief-correction">Bitcoin Zeroes In On $100,000, But This Indicator Signals One More Brief Correction</a>
Why It Matters: Hones believes Bitcoin can complement fixed-income portfolios and address pension fund shortfalls. 
Over the medium to long term, Bitcoin's performance offers the potential for significant returns—its worst historical return over any four-year period stands at 23%.
This approach aims to reduce reliance on high-risk credit investments while narrowing asset-liability mismatches in pension portfolios. 
By integrating Bitcoin with traditional credit structures, Hones envisions a transformative investment strategy capable of reducing pension funding gaps and enhancing overall portfolio stability.

Reddit, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>) shares are moving lower on Friday following a report suggesting that shareholder Advance Magazine Publishers, Inc. plans to establish a credit facility using its stake in the company. Here&#8217;s what you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42132644/reddit-falls-7-in-afterhours-as-advance-plans-stake-sale-technicals-show-strong-support-but-selling-pressure-persists-at-overbought-levels">need to know</a>.
What To Know: According to <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/reddit-share-sale-plan-sparks-125245363.html">Yahoo Finance</a>, the publishing company aims to make as much $1.2 billion in a sale of 7.8 million shares for between $145.38 to $148.54 per share.
Even though the company plans to sell shares, Advance is not exiting its investment in Reddit. Instead, the company is borrowing against the value of its Reddit shares. To maintain its ownership stake, Advance is purchasing derivatives linked to its Reddit shares.
How To Buy Reddit Stock
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Reddit's case, it is in the Communication Services sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

What's Going On With Reddit Stock Friday?

On Nov. 12, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/41051553/bipartisan-effort-to-eliminate-social-security-cuts-for-teachers-police-and-more-grows-in-congre">Social Security Fairness Act</a>, a bipartisan bill set in motion to eliminate two long-standing provisions that currently reduce Social Security benefits for public sector employees.&nbsp;
The legislation was first introduced in 2023 and will now head to the Senate, where it has strong bipartisan support. If passed, it is estimated to cost $196 billion over the next decade. Critics worry that enacting this bill could further exacerbate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/41082731/new-survey-finds-75-of-americans-support-cuts-for-higher-income-retirees-to-cover-social-securit">Social Security's funding challenges</a>.&nbsp;

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Does the Social Security Fairness Act Do?</h2>
The bill addresses two key provisions – added to the Social Security Act in 1983 – that affect public sector workers:
<ol>
<li>The Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP): This rule reduces Social Security benefits for individuals who receive pensions from jobs where they didn't pay Social Security taxes, like certain state and local government positions. According to the Congressional Research Service, about 2.1 million people are affected by this provision. </li>
<li>The Government Pension Offset (GPO): The GPO reduces Social Security benefits for spouses, widows and widowers who receive government pensions. About 745,000 individuals currently receive reduced benefits under this provision. </li>
</ol>
Those in support of repealing these rules argue that they unfairly penalize retired teachers, police officers, firefighters and other public servants, many of whom heavily rely on their Social Security and pension benefits for their income.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Supporters Praise the Bill</h2>
Proponents of the bill see it as a victory for equity. Representative Garret Graves (R-La.), a coleader of the bill, stated on the House floor, "This has been 40 years of treating people differently, discriminating against a certain set of workers."&nbsp;
The National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare called the House vote a &#8220;bipartisan victory&#8221; for public employees and their families.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Concerns About Social Security's Future</h2>
While the bill aims to address disparities among a demographic affected for over 40 years, critics are concerned that enacting it could further strain Social Security's already depleting finances.&nbsp;
The Congressional Budget Office estimates the bill would add $196 billion to deficits over the next 10 years and bring the trust fund depletion date forward by six months. Social Security funds are expected to run out at their current rate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40817544/report-warns-of-16-500-annual-social-security-benefit-cut-for-dual-income-couples-by-2033">in 2033</a>, meaning that beneficiaries would receive about 79% of their benefits.

Some lawmakers, like Rep. John Larson (D-Conn.), argue that, while reform is necessary, it needs to be handled differently. "I could not vote for the bills on the floor tonight because they are not paid for and therefore put Americans' hard-earned benefits at risk," Larson said. "It would hurt most deeply the five million of our fellow Americans who receive below poverty checks and almost half of all Social Security recipients who rely on their earned benefits for the majority of their income."&nbsp;
Instead, Larson proposed an alternative proposal: the Social Security 2100 Act. This would also repeal the WEP and GPO and include additional measures to increase revenues, like raising payroll taxes for higher earners.&nbsp;
Policy experts also express their concerns. Romina Boccia, director of budget and entitlement policy at the Cato Institute, criticized the bill, stating the policy is wrong and needs broader changes.&nbsp;
"We should reform Social Security so that it provides basic income security to the most vulnerable Americans in old age without adding to the debt or tax burden that younger workers face," Boccia said.
Trending: The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Happens Next?&nbsp;</h2>
The Social Security Fairness Act has already garnered enough Senate cosponsors to pass if brought to the floor for a vote. If signed into law, repealing the WEP and GPO would apply to benefits starting in 2024, significantly changing the benefits for the affected retirees and leaving unresolved questions about the program's long-term solvency.&nbsp;

House Passes $196 Billion Social Security Bill: Will Repealing Pension Reductions Shorten The Program's Lifespan?

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Today's ruling follows the May 2024 decision of the German Federal Patent Court, which declared the 928 Patent invalid and revoked the patent in Germany. An appeal is pending in that case. Today's decision of the UPC expands on that German invalidity ruling to further invalidate the 928 Patent in France and The Netherlands. The ruling of the UPC is subject to appeal.
