Forget the doom-and-gloom smartphone narrative for a minute. Morgan Stanley just dropped its latest AlphaWise Global Smartphone Survey, and the numbers for Apple are borderline absurd. The global blended iPhone upgrade rate hit 37% — a 2 percentage point jump from last year and the highest reading in the survey’s entire history. In China, the market that’s been giving Apple investors sleepless nights, upgrade intentions surged 9 percentage points year-over-year. Also a record. Switching rates to Apple? Five-year high. Analyst Erik Woodring ...

Everyone's obsessed with GPUs. Nvidia's been printing money with them, and honestly, it's been the obvious play. But here's the thing—Nvidia just dropped a hint at its GTC conference that the real money might be moving somewhere way less glamorous: CPUs. Yeah, the chips that have been around since forever. Boring, right? Wrong. Here's what's actually happening: AI is evolving. We're moving past the chatbot era where you ask a question and get an answer. Now we're entering the age of "agentic ...

Monday morning brought the kind of market rally that makes traders believe in miracles—at least for a few hours.After Trump posted about "productive conversations" with Iran, stocks jumped and oil prices tanked like they'd just heard the best news ever. The Kobeissi Letter calculated it as a $3 trillion swing in S&P 500 market cap in the first hour. Not bad for a Truth Social post.Here's the thing though: Iran's state media immediately called BS. They said no conversation happened ...

Everyone's obsessing over AI stocks. Meanwhile, one of the most explosive growth stories in finance is hiding in plain sight — and Wall Street hasn't figured out how to monetize it yet. That's usually when the real money gets made. Prediction markets — platforms where people bet real money on real-world outcomes — have gone from a niche curiosity to a legitimate financial force. Polymarket, the crypto-native platform running on the Polygon blockchain, processed more than $20 billion in trading volume ...

While most investors are fixated on oil prices and defense stocks, there's an LNG company sitting on a potential windfall that the market hasn't fully priced in. Venture Global — the upstart that went from zero to one of America's largest liquefied natural gas producers in barely a decade — is in exactly the right place at exactly the right time. Here's the setup. The Middle East conflict has created a global energy supply shock that rivals, and in some ways ...

The S&P 500 just did something it hasn't done since March 2025 — it broke below its 200-day moving average. For the uninitiated, that's the line technicians treat like a dividing wall between bull markets and bear markets. And when the index falls below it, history gets uncomfortable. Over the past decade, the S&P 500 has dropped below this key level 28 times. The average peak-to-trough decline in the 12 months following? A stomach-churning 17%. With the index already sitting about ...

Remember when you thought you understood the stock market? Yeah, forget that. Regencell Bioscience (NASDAQ:RGC) just threw a 17,000% curveball at everyone's assumptions about how stocks are supposed to work. Let's set the scene: It's 2025, and somewhere in Hong Kong, a biotech company with literally zero dollars in revenue—not a penny, not a dime—somehow convinced the market it's worth $11 billion. If that sounds insane, that's because it kind of is. Here's the kicker: Regencell has been around since 2021 and ...

Carson Block doesn't need a crystal ball to predict which companies are about to implode. He just needs a printer, some coffee, and the ability to read between the lines—literally. The founder of Muddy Waters Research has spent nearly 16 years making a living by betting against companies that look too good to be true. And spoiler alert: they usually are. His latest target? SoFi, which he's dubbed a "financial engineering treadmill"—basically the stock market equivalent of a hamster wheel that ...
