Product placement
Palantir (PLTR) - A company whose stock is mentioned and appears as a top mover. It ACTS as a topic of discussion and its stock performance is shown, so removing it would change the video's topic. Oracle (ORCL) - A company whose stock is mentioned and appears as a portfolio digest. It merely APPEARS as a data point, and removing it would not change the video's core message.
