Disney's 'Frozen' franchise has been a significant success since its first release in 2013, with both films ranking among the top-grossing animated films of all time. A third and potential fourth movie are in development, with a likely release date for 'Frozen 3' in November 2025. Despite Disney's recent box office misses, the 'Frozen' franchise remains a valuable asset. An investment of $1,000 in Disney stock at the time of the first 'Frozen' release would be worth $1,338.71 today, a 33.9% increase, while the same investment in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust would have yielded a 151.5% return.

Oil and gas prices are declining due to high production, which is affecting related stocks and ETFs. The Direxion Daily S&P Oil & Gas Exp & Prod Bear 2X Shares (DRIP) rose by 2.5% ahead of the OPEC+ meeting, with the market expecting little change from potential cuts. Analysts have adjusted their ratings and price targets for Marathon Oil (MRO) and Exxon Mobil (XOM). DRIP, an inverse double-leveraged ETF, includes companies like Exxon, Occidental Petroleum (OXY), and Marathon Oil. The ETF has been on an uptrend since November 3, but shows signs of potential weakness. Direxion also offers a bullish counterpart ETF, the Direxion Daily S&P Oil & Gas Exp & Prod Bull 2X Shares (GUSH).

U.S. stocks saw a slight decline except for tech stocks in the Nasdaq 100, which gained on positive Black Friday online sales data from Adobe and Salesforce. Treasury yields fell, gold prices rose, and oil prices dipped ahead of an oil producers' meeting. Sector-wise, real estate and consumer discretionary stocks performed well, while energy lagged. The Trade Desk, MercadoLibre, and Zoom Video led Nasdaq 100 gains, while Domino's Pizza topped the S&P 500 after a price target raise. Crown Castle rallied on news of a significant investment by Elliott Management. Albemarle Corp., WK Kellog Co, and Petco were among the worst performers. Bond ETFs rose, European indices fell, and cryptocurrencies declined.
