You know that feeling when you ace a test but still get grounded because your parents found out about that party last weekend? That's basically what happened to Circle (NYSE: CRCL) this week. The stablecoin company – think of them as the folks who make digital dollars that don't bounce around like a caffeinated kangaroo – just dropped their Q3 earnings report. And by all accounts, they absolutely crushed it. We're talking $740 million in revenue (up 66% from last year), ...

Tech Stocks Are Having a Very Bad Time (And the Fed Isn’t Helping)

Well, well, well. Remember when tech stocks were the golden children of Wall Street? Those days feel like a distant memory as we watch some of the market's biggest darlings get absolutely demolished for the second day running. Here's what's happening: The Fed officials have been dropping not-so-subtle hints that maybe, just maybe, they're not as eager to cut interest rates in December as everyone hoped. And tech stocks?

The Sun’s Secret Recipe Just Got Leaked (And It’s About to Make Some People Very Rich)

Remember when your high school physics teacher said nuclear fusion was "always 30 years away"? Well, plot twist: it might actually be more like 5-10 years away. And no, I'm not talking about some sci-fi fever dream. In December 2022, 192 lasers fired at a tiny gold capsule in California and did something humanity had never done before: they got more energy out than they put in. It was basically the scientific equivalent of finally beating the house in Vegas, except ...

The Chip Rally is Back: Why AMD and NVIDIA Just Hit the Reset Button

Remember when everyone was panicking about chip stocks last week? Yeah, well, they're back with a vengeance today, and it's like watching your favorite underdog team suddenly remember how to play. NVIDIA and AMD are leading the charge this morning, and honestly, it couldn't have come at a better time. NVIDIA got a nice little boost when Foxconn (you know, the folks who make your iPhone) reported profits jumped 17% year-over-year. More importantly, they're basically saying "AI demand is going to ...

Tech Stocks Are Getting the Cold Shoulder (And It’s Not Just Because of the Weather)

So here's the thing about October: while everyone was busy carving pumpkins and arguing about candy corn, hedge funds were busy carving up tech stocks. And by carving up, I mean shorting the hell out of them. The Nasdaq had a pretty decent month, climbing nearly 5%. You'd think that would make investors happy, right? Wrong. Apparently, when tech stocks do well, some very smart (and very wealthy) people start getting nervous. It's like that friend who gets suspicious when everything's ...
