The SPY Trader

Money, Tariffs, and Trades

Fresh news and strategies for traders. SPY Trader episode #1001.
Alright, welcome back to Spy Trader, the only financial podcast brave enough to tell you what's really going on with your money! It's 5:00 PM on March 5th, 2025, and your host, the Sultan of Savings, the Mahatma of Money, Barry Bonds Jr. (no relation to the other Barry Bonds, I just like hitting home runs with my investments) is here to break down what you need to know.
First up, the big picture: The market's bouncing back today after a rough couple of days. We saw the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all close sharply higher. The Dow and S&P each gained 1.1%, and the Nasdaq jumped 1.5%. Remember those losses? That was due to tariff worries and jitters about the US economy. The S&P and Nasdaq actually hit fourmonth lows recently because of all the volatility. Fun fact: the S&P 500 is now only up less than 4% since the election in November.
So, what's behind these mood swings? Tariffs, tariffs, and more tariffs! President Trump's newly imposed and proposed tariffs are a major factor. Remember that 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada? And those doubled duties on Chinese goods, now at 20%? Those are a big deal! Hopes for tariff relief are what perked the market up today, but the worry is still there: tariffs could spark inflation, mess with the economy, and hurt companies.
Also, we had that weakerthanexpected privatesector jobs report in February, which raised concerns about economic growth, plus the usual dose of geopolitical tensions thrown in for good measure.
What does all this mean? There's a real concern that the recent market weakness is a sign of a slowing US economy. This uncertainty can send investors running for "safehaven" assets. And these tariffs and trade tensions are definitely bad news for businesses, especially those with international operations. We also need to watch consumer confidence as it is an important indicator of the economy.
Now, let's dive into our trading recommendations. Given the current volatility and tariff concerns, a cautious approach is warranted.
First, let's discuss General Dynamics. It announced nearly a 6% increase in its quarterly dividend, from $1.42 to $1.50 per share, and the stock jumped almost 5% on the news. This marks the 28th consecutive year that General Dynamics has increased its dividend! Their dividend yield is just under 2.3%, solid for a wellestablished company within the S&P 500. Even with some softness in their Gulfstream aircraft division, General Dynamics' commitment to its dividend demonstrates financial discipline and a focus on longterm shareholder value. So I would recommend buying the stock if it dips.
Also look at Quanta Services. PWR has demonstrated strong performance, outperforming the broader market by 13.55% on an annualized basis over the past decade. Their annual return is around 24.57%. Based on strong historic return, this would be a solid stock to buy.
Now for a little crypto corner. Cryptocurrencies, particularly Solana, had a rally due to the temporary exemption granted by the U.S. on tariffs with Canada, Mexico, and China. We must remember that crypto markets are volatile and prices fluctuate quickly, so proceed with caution. So, while we don't expect everyone to start investing in crypto, keep an eye on the underlying factors driving its movements – especially trade war developments and shifts in risk appetite. These factors are relevant to all investors, including those focused on the S&P 500.
Also, remember the AI craze! The Chinese tech companies are fundraising a lot based on the excitement around AI. This also translates to the S&P 500. Make sure the AI companies are taking a pro active stance on AI ethics and saftey!
In short, it's all about balance right now. Diversify your portfolio. And as always, remember past performance is not indicative of future results.
Finally, let's discuss the potential influence of a new strategic crypto reserve as suggested by a certain presidential candidate. The announcement of the cryptocurrencies that would be a part of this new crypto reserve could make the market very volatile. Keep an eye on Bitcoin, Etherium and Solana. The crypto market could sway between a bull and selloff, based on this.
And now, for a quick joke to lighten the mood: Why don't economists like sports? Too many goal conflicts.
That's all for today, folks! Remember to do your own research, consult with a financial advisor, and don't let market volatility keep you up at night. This is Barry Bonds Jr., signing off, reminding you to always swing for the fences with your investments, but keep your eye on the ball!

Rolling the Market Dice

Fresh news and strategies for traders. SPY Trader episode #1000.
Welcome to 'Spy Trader' where we dive into the latest and greatest from the world of finance, focusing on our beloved S&P 500. I'm your host, Chuck Finster, coming to you from a cozy booth that's approximately 11 o'clock on March 5, 2025. Time to put on those market goggles and see what the stock market has decided to entertain us with today.
Let's begin with the current market drama. The S&P 500, like my uncle's attempts at making sourdough, has taken a bit of a dive, down 97 points since the new year. We’ve seen a rollercoaster of market activity with recent sharp declines, largely impacted by brewing trade tensions reminiscent of my cat's habit of pushing things off the table. These tensions are sending shudders through sectors like automobiles and retail. Imagine tariffs being the grumpy neighbor no one wants to deal with—it's not good news for anyone with global business interests.
Speaking of global interests, let's pivot to BioNTech. The FDA has hit pause on their malaria vaccine trial. Not the best news if you're excited about groundbreaking vaccines, but oddly enough, BioNTech’s stock isn’t feeling the blues—it’s up 3.11%. It seems investors are banking on the broader prospects of RNAbased treatments, or maybe they're just buying into BioNTech's positive spin on working things out with the FDA. Meanwhile, keep your eye on the biotech sector; these kinds of regulatory challenges could make stocks as volatile as my Aunt Linda’s mood during the holidays.
Swinging to the opposite side, AutoZone stumbled slightly on earnings.Though they're juggling some earnings misses, analysts are oddly upbeat about their future. They’ve even hiked up those price targets, egged on by ambitious growth strategies like their MegaHub expansion. AutoZone's situation sheds light on the retail sector resilience, showing there's pep in the step of auto parts enthusiasts.
Over in tech land, let's glance at Intuit. Analysts say it's time to be "overweight" on these guys—no, it's not a postholiday diet; they mean investors might want to buy. Despite recent underwhelming performance, the faith is strong in Intuit’s ability to innovate, which could spark a fire under their stock price. A little patience might pay off here.
Meanwhile, Coinbase is getting a mixed vibe from investors—pessimism seems to be winning for now. Betcha they’re watching those regulatory trends like my neighbor's dog watches the squirrels. It could mean turbulence ahead, so strap in if you're dabbling in tech financials.
But what about some reassurance? Like a good, cold lemonade on a hot day, the healthcare sector is looking pretty refreshing with Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly battling it out in the weightloss drug arena. Technological advancement and competitive pricing are driving interest, potentially lifting healthcare's influence in the S&P 500.
So, what’s the takeaway, and do we have any trading recommendations? Tread lightly in the biotech waters and look for safe harbors in resilient sectors like healthcare, where growth potential seems promising despite the turbulent seas of tariffs and economic shifts. Keep a watchful eye on techrelated stocks, especially those making innovative strides like Intuit; these could be prime pickups if they’re poised for a rebound. However, cautious optimism is warranted given present market dynamics.
And to send you off with a smile, here's a little chuckle for the road: What's a tax auditor's favorite animal? The taxidermy! Ok, it might not put as many smiles as a bullish market move, but hopefully it got a laugh.
That’s your look at the market for now, brought to you by Chuck Finster here at Spy Trader. Stay tuned, stay savvy, and as always, keep your portfolio balanced and your outlook positive. Until next time!

Market Buzz & Morning Java

Fresh news and strategies for traders. SPY Trader episode #999.
Good morning, folks! Welcome to another episode of 'Spy Trader', your goto podcast for the latest and greatest in the world of the S&P 500. I'm your host, Bullish Bob, and yes, it's bright and early—5:00 AM, March 5th, 2025. Remember, folks, only caffeine can match the buzz of the stock market in the morning!
As we sip our coffee, let's dive into what’s brewing in the financial world today. It seems the U.S. stock market has entered a bit of a rocky terrain. Yesterday, both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq gave up all the gains they made postelection. We saw the S&P 500 close at its lowest since back in early November 2024. It's all part of a broader trend with the market facing declines. The Dow fell by 1.6%, the S&P 500 by 1.2%, and the Nasdaq by 0.4%. Yeartodate, the Morningstar US Market Index is down a timid 0.25%, but every decimal adds up, am I right?
So what's causing all this market gloom? Well, a stew of factors, actually. New U.S. tariffs against trade partners like Canada, Mexico, and China are spicing things up, and not in a good way. Retaliatory tariffs from these countries are on the table too, making investors worry about inflation and slowing economic activity. Plus, the ongoing discourse around interest rates and policy uncertainties from the Trump administration is adding to the market's uncertainty. Not to mention, stubborn inflation is like a stubborn stain on the market’s white shirt—no matter how hard we scrub, it just won’t go away.
Now, let’s get into today’s highlights: First up, despite the doom and gloom in stock markets, mortgage demand is seeing an upswing. Applications rose a significant 20.4% last week, evidently the first leap in three weeks. It looks like the drop in mortgage rates to 6.73%—the lowest since December 2024—is opening the floodgates. Refinancing applications saw a whopping 37% increase weekoverweek. Now that’s what I call a mortgage marathon!
Also catching our eye is the surge of interest in defense stocks. Thanks to some geopolitical tension due to Trump's temporary suspension of military aid to Ukraine, defense companies seem to be in the spotlight. For investors looking to diversify, this might be an area worth watching, as tensions often lead defense budgets to climb faster than a cat up a tree.
On a lighter note, crypto news is making waves too, with Bitcoin setting a little dance with trades below $90,000. Speculation around U.S. trade agreements is fueling some crypto optimism. But remember folks, crypto markets can be as volatile as your Aunt Marsha during the holiday season.
And now for a fun break: What’s a banker’s favorite type of fish? A loan shark! I know, I know, what a fintastic joke!
As we wrap up today's insights, let's talk about trading recommendations. With continued volatility expected, now might be a good time for investors to consider a cautious approach. Those looking at tech stocks should be wary of the AI sector, as notable investors like Paul Singer are waving red flags about inflated valuations, especially in stocks like Nvidia. Meanwhile, the defense sector, with its rising interest, promises potential opportunities if geopolitical tensions continue to rise. Always keep an eye on government spending dynamics as they directly influence these markets.
For those considering housingrelated stocks, recent boosts in mortgage applications might suggest upcoming movement in the housing sector as rates drop. Stocks like Howmet Aerospace are interesting underdogs showing resilience and strong performance; their focus on cash flow and innovation could make them a solid addition to a diversified portfolio.
In closing, remember to keep your portfolios diverse and your investment strategies sharp—just like a good pair of scissors, they cut through uncertainty! And no matter what the market throws at us, we'll stay right here, ready to ride the storm.
That's it for today's episode of 'Spy Trader.' I'm Bullish Bob, reminding you that in trading—and in life—the best gains often come from the toughest challenges. Keep calm, trade on, and I’ll see you in a few hours for our next update!

Market Ripples & Trading Tidbits

Fresh news and strategies for traders. SPY Trader episode #998.
Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Spy Trader, your goto financial insights podcast where we break down the market buzz and the noteworthy moves in the S&P 500. It’s March 4th, 2025, and the time is 5:00 PM. I’m your host, Buzz McBuffet, here to bring you the latest scoops with a sprinkle of humor and a dash of insight, keeping you informed and entertained.
Today, we’ve got a packed episode as we dissect the ripples in the market, influenced by trade tensions, tech sector woes, and the fascinating moves within the S&P 500. So, let’s dive right into it!
Kicking things off, the market today has been quite the rollercoaster. The S&P 500 dipped 1.22%, landing at 5,778.15. The drop aligns with the implementation of new tariffs under President Trump, which have intensified global trade skirmishes and rattled investors’ nerves. The tariffs have driven the Dow Jones Industrial Average down more than 1,300 points over two days, causing quite a bit of market chatter.
Amidst the downturn, there are still intriguing stories to unpack. Strategy Inc. (MSTR) saw a remarkable surge of 9.66%, thanks to solidified Bitcoin strategies and a fortifying quarterly cash dividend. On the tech side, CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD) managed a rise of 1.94% with their formidable fourthquarter earnings, showcasing the allure of cybersecurity even in rocky times. And, in a surprise move, Credo Technology Group (CRDO) leaped 7.74%, all eyes on them for stellar earnings.
On a less cheerful note, Best Buy (BBY) saw a sharp downturn of about 13.30% as tariffinduced price hikes loom large. Tesla (TSLA), too, hit a pothole, falling 4.43%, mirroring significant declines in Chinamade EV sales. Fluctuating trade conditions seem to be leaving marks across different sectors, painting a vivid picture of a market under pressure.
This brings us to the analysis part. With the tariffs from Canada, China, and Mexico stirring the pot, market volatility is the norm. We’re observing financials, basic materials, and healthcare gaining traction, while tech stocks are on more shaky ground due to these precise geopolitical turbulences.
Now, let's talk trading recommendations. In such volatile times, it’s crucial to pivot towards sectors that exhibit resilience. Stocks in financial services and basic materials sectors appear promising as they attract increasing investor interest. Holding on to tech stocks like NVIDIA could be a gamble, given the volatility, but longterm prospects suggest there might be gains as the landscape stabilizes.
For the cautious investor, considering companies adapting to these geopolitical shifts smartly, like MSTR with its strong digital asset play, could be a fortified move. On the contrary, companies overly dependent on international tariffs, such as in manufacturing and automotive, might need a wary eye.
Ultimately, navigating today's market reminds me of a joke: What do you call a bankrupt Santa? Saint Nickelless. It's a wild ride out there!
To wrap it up, stay vigilant, keep a diversified portfolio, and remember, the market might be a seesaw today, but with strategic plays and patience, we can find our balance. Thanks for tuning into Spy Trader. Join me, Buzz McBuffet, for our next episode as we continue to slice through the noise and deliver those golden trading insights. Stay smart, stay profitable, and keep the humor alive in your trading journey. Till next time, happy investing!

Market Waves & Investment Lifeboats

Fresh news and strategies for traders. SPY Trader episode #997.
Hello, and welcome to another episode of Spy Trader, your goto podcast for the latest trends and insights from the world of finance. I'm your host, the evercurious Penny Stocks—but you can call me Penny for short! It's currently March 4th, 2025, 11:00 AM, and we've got plenty to unpack today, especially focusing on our favorite benchmark, the S&P 500. But first, ever wonder what you call a bankrupt Santa? That's right—Saint Nickelless! Now, let's dive into today's happenings.
The stock market is experiencing quite the turbulent time today, with the S&P 500 dropping by 1.73%. This decline is part of a broader downward trend we're seeing in reaction to the new tariffs implemented by the US on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China. As a result, sectors like financials, energy, and consumer discretionary are having a tough go while real estate manages to hold its ground a bit better.
Key news breaking within the S&P 500 includes Repligen's acquisition of the MASS desktop portfolio from 908 Devices for a cool $70 million in cash. This strategic purchase is expected to boost Repligen's biopharmaceutical capabilities, fortifying its position in a rapidly expanding market. After the announcement, 908 Devices saw its stock price jump an impressive 71.7%, a clear sign of investor confidence in the deal.
Meanwhile, from a sector perspective, biotechnology continues to show strength. This is noteworthy as the S&P 500 includes several key players in this industry. Investors are starting to see the potential for longterm growth, driven by the demand for advanced analytics in bioprocessing technologies.
In contrast, the entertainment giant Sphere Entertainment finds itself in a tricky situation, as their stock dips 14% despite a positive earnings report and a forwardlooking management team. This suggests a disconnect between market sentiment and underlying business performance, offering a potential buying opportunity for valueseeking investors.
Now, let's pivot to some trading recommendations. Given the state of the market, I’d suggest taking a closer look at biotechnology stocks within the S&P 500. Companies with robust R&D pipelines and strategic acquisitions, like Repligen, are likely to benefit from the growing demand in bioprocess tech. For those interested in more defensive plays, consider stocks within the real estate sector, which have shown resilience amid this market turmoil.
On the flip side, caution is advised with automakers affected by the tariffs. Stocks like General Motors and Ford could continue to face pressure as the economic implications of the tariffs unfold. And while bargain hunters might be eyeing stocks like Sphere Entertainment after their drop, it’s crucial to weigh the shortterm volatility against longterm growth prospects.
To sum it up, we're navigating rough seas in the market today. Yet, as opportunities arise within the shipwreck, staying informed, diversified, and adaptive can be your lifeboat to better returns. As we steer through these market waves, continue tuning into Spy Trader for the latest strategies and insights.
That wraps up this episode, folks! Keep your portfolios sharp and your wits sharper. Until next time, I'm Penny Stocks, signing off on Spy Trader. Happy trading!

Market Moves and Crypto Clues

Fresh news and strategies for traders. SPY Trader episode #996.
Welcome to another episode of "Spy Trader," your goto source for insightful analysis and the latest news impacting the S&P 500. I'm your host, Bull Bronson, and today is Tuesday, March 4th, 2025, at 5:00 AM. We've got a jampacked episode filled with all things markets and stocks, so let's dive in!
To kick things off, we're seeing a couple of significant moves in the S&P 500, thanks to the dynamic developments in a few sectors. Bear Creek Mining Corporation's decision to initiate a strategic review got the market's attention. With support from major shareholders Sandstorm Gold and Equinox Gold, Bear Creek is exploring options that range from mergers to asset sales. However, whisperings of their $93.2 million working capital deficiency have investors on their toes—just like a stockbroker predicting "bull" weather when it's clearly raining. These financial issues raise cautionary flags, particularly in the S&P 500's material sector, which tends to get jittery with any hint of instability.
Elsewhere, On Holding AG just laced up and sprinted past expectations, reporting strong earnings that have left investors bullish. With a reported 35.7% increase in sales yearonyear and stunning growth across directtoconsumer sales channels, ON Holding’s robust market performance has them flying high. This could encourage companies within the S&P 500 to rethink their ecommerce strategies, particularly in the consumer discretionary sector.
Adding to the mix, Bybit’s recordbreaking crypto hack of $1 billion in Ethereum, allegedly tied to North Korea's infamous Lazarus Group, casts a shadow over companies in the S&P 500 with significant crypto exposure. The hack underscores growing security concerns—an unsettling reminder that volatility in digital assets can ripple into traditional markets as well.
Turning our focus toward trading recommendations, investors might consider keeping a close watch on companies within the materials sector, especially those like Bear Creek, which could represent opportunities for portfolio diversification if the strategic review results in asset sales or mergers. The potential restructuring of key players might set precedents and could be a signal for similar moves within the sector.
Considering On Holding AG’s stellar performance, it might be wise to look into retail and consumer discretionary stocks that are successfully leveraging directtoconsumer strategies and showcasing similar growth trajectories. These companies may point toward a broader trend that savvy investors can capitalize on.
Lastly, given the recent cyber disruptions, some caution is warranted for stocks linked to crypto and blockchain technology. These sectors might face increased scrutiny and regulatory challenges, potentially slowing down growth prospects temporarily but also offering a chance for tactical investments in cybersecurity solutions.
In summary, today's insights remind us how interconnected and multifaceted the S&P 500 landscape truly is. Market sentiments swirling around essential minerals, consumer spending habits, or the vulnerabilities of digital currencies emphasize the need to keep our eyes wide open. Stay vigilant and invest wisely!
Thanks for tuning into "Spy Trader" with me, Bull Bronson. Remember, as much as we love to predict the future, sometimes even the most bullish forecasts can get rained out. Until next time, stay sharp traders!

Trade Tensions & Tech Turbulence

Fresh news and strategies for traders. SPY Trader episode #995.
Welcome to another exciting episode of 'Spy Trader', the podcast where we help you make sense of the chaotic world of the financial markets, with a focus on the big players in the S&P 500. It’s March 3rd, 2025, at 5 PM, and I’m your host, Barry Bullish, ready to dive into the latest market happenings and bring some sanity to your trading strategies. Remember, why don't investment advisors play cards? Too many risks. Alright, let's shuffle the deck and get started!
Today we’re unraveling the multiple layers of stock market complexity, unpacking the recent tariffs, and exploring the ongoing volatility in tech stocks, all while staying firmly rooted in what matters to you as an S&P 500 investor. Let’s jump straight into the key news that’s shaking up our favorite index.
First up, we have quite the brew storm from the new tariffs rolled out by President Trump, particularly targeting imports from our neighbors Canada and Mexico, and even reaching across the globe to China. These tariffs are set to raise the U.S. average tariff rate to Depressionera levels, about 20%. That’s bound to leave quite the ripple effect on the S&P 500, as companies that are heavily reliant on imported goods will likely feel the pinch. As we know, when supply chains get tangled, it’s not just logistics that suffer—it's profit margins, stock prices, you name it.
The market reaction has been swift and severe. The S&P 500 tumbled by around 1.8%, ending the day lower at 5,849.72. This reflects the uncertainty and anxiety swirling among investors as they digest the implications of these trade policies. Companies in sectors like manufacturing and tech—particularly those with intricate supply chains—are standing in the eye of this storm.
Now, let’s hit the tech sector, where we’ve got a seesaw of sentiments. Despite showing resilience with strong earnings from companies like GitLab, which outperformed analysts’ expectations, the broader tech market saw a dip dragged down by heavyweight declines like that of NVIDIA, which took a hit of 8.69% due to geopolitical tensions affecting AI tech sales to China. And let's not overlook SoundHound AI, which swung wildly before closing down 4.6%, as investors weighed the risks of high AI valuations.
Zooming out a bit further, there’s a fascinating development in Hong Kong, where the local financial markets are on an upward trajectory thanks to an economic stimulus from China and growing interests from global players. This trend could eventually draw more foreign investments, potentially benefiting U.S. companies looking for avenues of growth and partnerships abroad.
In light of all this, how should an S&P 500 investor plot their course? I'd recommend a balanced approach in these turbulent times, focusing on sectors with strong fundamentals and diversified exposure to different economic zones. Here are a few specific trading ideas:
1. Consider Tech with Caution: GitLab’s strong earnings highlight that innovation and strategic focus on AI can shield companies somewhat from broader market slumps. If you’re looking to buy, target firms with strong earnings performance and clear strategic outlooks like GitLab. But beware of the hyped and volatile ones like certain AI stocks, whose valuations seem to hang by a thread.
2. Shift Some Weight to Consumer Staples: As tariffinduced price hikes proceed, consumer staples might become the safe harbor for investors due to their steady demand even in fluctuating economic climates.
3. Scout for Opportunities in Commodity Stocks: With geopolitical tensions simmering and trade policies impacting traditional logistics channels, resource and mining firms like those focusing on domestic supply chains could gain a bit of a wind here.
In conclusion, remember to keep your eyes peeled for evolving trade talks and fiscal policies influencing the macroeconomic environment. Stay diversified and don't shy away from tactically shifting your allocations if the situation demands.
Thanks for tuning into 'Spy Trader' today. Keep your trading wits sharp and emotions calmer than a bunny in a lettuce patch. Until next time, keep your portfolio as diversified as my joke collection. Stay bullish, stay informed!

Market Mysteries & Money Moves: A Wall Street Drama

Fresh news and strategies for traders. SPY Trader episode #994.
Hello and welcome to another episode of Spy Trader—your goto podcast for savvy insights on the S&P 500. It's March 3, 2025, and I’m your host, Wall Street Wally. We’re broadcasting live from somewhere with way too many computer screens and caffeine, bringing you the latest market mysteries and money moves—because who doesn’t love a good drama involving a lot of green?
Let’s dive into today’s juiciest headlines causing ripples in the market. Kicking things off, we’ve got a turbulent scene with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals. They’re under the strict scrutiny of the U.S. Department of Justice for allegedly misleading investors about the sales practices surrounding their blockbuster drug, Eylea. Combine that with the DOJ sticking in a legal dagger, and you've got yourself a highstakes thriller, where Regeneron’s stock took a nosedive of about 9.2% after some notsoinspiring sales forecasts. Needless to say, investors are keeping a watchful eye on this one—not unlike a hawk with bifocals.
On to Intel! In an ironic twist worthy of silicon valley soap operas, Intel is in the testing phase with its new 18A process technology—a move that could potentially resuscitate their market stronghold, especially now that tech titans like Nvidia and Broadcom are getting in on the action. Intel’s been battered by the AI boom—or lack thereof—but this could be the plot twist they need for a comeback. The stock showed a bit of promise, moving upward a smidge, but the story is ongoing.
Just as spicy, we've got some options shenanigans happening with Rocket Lab USA, Dutch Bros, and the beloved giant, AMD. Highstakes trading options have been sending mixed signals across the board: bulls and bears are dancing a curious tango. It seems Wall Street doesn't quite agree on which way these stocks are headed. Meanwhile, analysts are chiming in with targets that range wider than a squirrel’s leap across Central Park. As we always say, the only certain thing about the market is uncertainty.
So, what do we make of all of this? Well, if we lean on the ancient wisdom of market sentiment and fundamental analysis, it’s time investors consider diligence and diversification as their trusty copilots. Keep an eye on Regeneron but proceed with caution—the legal whirlwind could knock the sails windward or downward. Consider Intel not just as a big name in tech, but like the prodigal child returning to the fold—there's growth opportunity if they pull through on delivering with the new tech.
If you’re intrigued by the enigmatic dance of options trading, Rocket Lab, Dutch Bros, and AMD are all currently performing the financial chacha—you might just find an opportunity or two in those rhythmic moves. Whether you're in for the volatility or just enjoy watching the market's favorite tales unfold, just remember: What’s the market’s favorite type of story? A stock tale.
As always, hit us up with your thoughts, questions, or tales of market woe. Until next time, may your trades be swift and your returns be mighty. This is Wall Street Wally, signing off. Stay savvy, folks!
