Up first, Ryan runs through the 20 cities included on Amazon’s (AMZN - Free Report) shortlist for its second headquarters. The e-commerce king released the list on Thursday, eliminating the vast majority of the reported 238 applicants. As the search for Amazon’s “HQ2” continues, the hosts discuss the shortlist to see if there are any early clues on where the company is headed.
Next up, Maddy discussed all of the latest happenings at General Electric (GE - Free Report) . Reports emerged this week that the legendary company is considering several different splits and spinoffs, underscoring the need for change after years of struggles. Maddy highlights the specifics of the plan and explains why the GE of the future could look much different.
Finally, the hosts cover the wild week in cryptocurrencies. Nearly all of the biggest names crashed throughout the week, and at one point, bitcoin had lost about a Netflix (NFLX - Free Report) worth of market cap. Ryan attempts to explain why.

Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?
Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.
With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.
