Booking Holdings (FTC action reported over hotel ads) and Lululemon (new president and product chief) are the buy-range names with business news. The 8 October AI-hardware sell-off (NVMI, MPWR, CLS, EME) was market-wide: it moved price, not value. 13Fs show Buffett adding Alphabet, Li Lu adding PDD and Klarman adding Amazon.

PROBLEM the story may have changed ·EVENT temporary, solvable bad news ·WATCH material but unclear ·NOISE price, not value

• WATCHBKNG · FTC reportedly preparing action over Priceline-affiliate hotel ads ($500M+ at stake)
  A fine of that size is small against FCF, but a fee case touches the business model. Check that the moat doesn't rest on misleading ads (METHOD 3) and that no debt is needed (event check 5). Unconfirmed by the FTC. [1]
• WATCHLULU · New CEO overhauls the C-suite: Athleta's CEO becomes President and Chief Product Officer
  Fixing product missteps and recalls: an event if one-time and solvable in 1-3 years (event checks 3-4). A new team must be judged on capital allocation and candour (METHOD 4). [1][2]
• WATCHADBE · Unconfirmed reports of a DOL green-card (PERM) suspension
  Only Cloudera's suspension is confirmed; a tracker shows Adobe's PERM cases on hold. A hiring and regulatory issue, not a moat breach. [1]
• WATCHTBBK · 8-K/A amends a director or officer change
  Read who changed and why; banks magnify management risk (METHOD 4).
• WATCHSMCI · New director or officer change (8-K item 5.02)
  Given its accounting history, read the 8-K for finance or audit roles (METHOD 4: cash must be real, candour).
• WATCHSMID · 13D/A amendment filed
  A large holder changed its position. Read the amendment for who and how much (METHOD 1: Radar).
• NOISENVMI · Fell 10% in the semiconductor sell-off; no company news
  A market-wide move: price, not value (METHOD 7). The screen's buy-range label came from a share-count scale error (fixed); NVMI is above Sticker. [1]
• NOISEQFIN · Down 9% over 5 days with US-listed Chinese ADRs
  A market-wide move. Country and VIE risk is a standing checklist item for China ADRs (METHOD 2), not news.
• NOISEMPWR · Fell 7% in the AI-hardware sell-off
  Market-wide; already above Sticker (METHOD 7).
• NOISECLS · Fell 8% in the AI-hardware sell-off
  Market-wide (METHOD 7).
• NOISEEME · Fell 6% in the AI-hardware sell-off
  Market-wide; above Sticker (METHOD 7).
