Mark: Welcome to today's market update, based on the latest available data from November 13, 2025. I'm Mark, and joining me is Susan. We're here to break down the market's performance and highlight some key movers.

Susan: Thanks, Mark. Let's dive right into the indices. It was a tough day on Wall Street. The S&P 500 dropped by 113.43 points, closing at 6,737.49.

Mark: That's right, Susan. The Dow Jones also took a hit, declining by 797.60 points, closing at 47,457.22. And the Nasdaq wasn't spared either, falling 536.10 points to finish at 22,870.36.

Susan: Ouch! It seems like a broad sell-off across the board. Let's take a look at some individual stocks. NVIDIA, for example, opened at $191.05 and closed at $186.86, declining by $4.19.

Mark: That's a noticeable drop for NVIDIA. But let's focus on Tesla today. It opened at $423.13 and closed at $401.99, shedding $21.14. Quite a significant move for such a high-profile stock.

Susan: Absolutely, Mark. Tesla's performance reflects a broader concern in the market. Investors seem to be cautious, possibly due to macroeconomic factors or sector-specific news. It's important for retail investors to stay informed and not react impulsively to short-term fluctuations.

Mark: Great point, Susan. While Tesla's decline might seem alarming, it's crucial to consider the company's long-term potential and the overall market conditions. Remember, market sentiment can be quite volatile.

Susan: Exactly. And speaking of market sentiment, today's declines across major indices suggest a bearish mood. However, it's important to remember that such downturns can also present buying opportunities for long-term investors.

Mark: Indeed, Susan. Before we wrap up, let's end with a lighter note. Did you know that back in the 1980s, Wall Street traders used to have their own version of "March Madness"? They'd actually bet on which stock would be the first to hit the ticker tape in the morning!

Susan: That's hilarious, Mark! It just goes to show that even in serious markets, there's always room for a little fun. Thanks for tuning in to today's market update, everyone. Stay informed and trade wisely!

Mark: Until next time, take care!
