Quantum Stocks: When Rumors Get Denied But Nobody Cares

You know that friend who keeps insisting they're "totally over" their ex while simultaneously checking their Instagram stories? That's basically quantum computing stocks right now with government funding rumors. Here's what went down: The Wall Street Journal dropped a report yesterday claiming the Trump administration was in talks to take equity stakes in quantum computing companies like Rigetti Computing (RGTI), Quantum Computing (QUBT), D-Wave Quantum (QBTS), and IonQ (IONQ).

Why Grindr Stock Just Went Full Send (And What It Means for Your Portfolio)

So here's a plot twist nobody saw coming: Grindr stock just absolutely launched 21% on Friday, and no, it wasn't because they added a new filter or anything. Turns out, when your majority shareholders decide they want to take you private, the market gets a little... excited. The TL;DR: Grindr's chairman James Fu Bin Lu and board member Raymond Zage (who already own about 60% of the company) basically said "Hey, we'll buy out everyone else for $18 per share." Since ...

Betting Markets Think This Government Shutdown Is Going Full Netflix Series Mode

So here we are, three weeks into what's shaping up to be the government shutdown equivalent of a Netflix series that just won't end. And if the betting markets are right, we're not even close to the season finale. The feds shut down on October 1st, and we're now 22 days deep into this political drama. For context, that's getting uncomfortably close to the record-holder: the 35-day shutdown from December 2018 to January 2019. You know, the one that made everyone ...

The Fed’s Flying Blind (But the CPI Just Threw Them a Lifeline)

Picture this: You're piloting a plane through thick clouds, and suddenly all your instruments start going haywire. The altimeter? Dead. Attitude indicator? Nope. Airspeed? Also toast. Welcome to Jerome Powell's world right now. Thanks to the government shutdown delaying key economic reports, the Fed has been basically flying blind for weeks.

Meet the Guy Who Accidentally Became the Beyond Meat Meme King (And Definitely Isn’t the Next Roaring Kitty)

So here's a wild story for you: A 29-year-old business school dropout just accidentally triggered the most bonkers meme stock rally of 2025. And no, he's not wearing a red headband or calling himself a cat. Meet Dimitri Semenikhin, aka "Capyabara Stocks" on social media (yes, that's capybara like the chill rodent).

Grindr Stock Goes Wild: When Dating Apps Get Buyout Fever

So here's a plot twist nobody saw coming: Grindr stock just had its best day in forever, shooting up 21% faster than you can swipe right. And no, it wasn't because they added a new filter or figured out how to make online dating less soul-crushing. The real tea?

Betting Markets Think This Government Shutdown Is Going Full Netflix Series Mode

So here's the thing about government shutdowns: they're like that friend who says they're "leaving in five minutes" and then proceeds to reorganize their entire closet. Except this time, the betting markets are basically placing odds on just how long this particular drama is going to drag on. We're currently three weeks into what started as your typical Washington standoff on October 1st. But according to the folks putting real money where their mouths are on Polymarket and Kalshi, this isn't ...

AI’s Money Machine: 5 Ways to Cash In (Before the Party Ends)

Look, we need to talk about AI investing. Not the "robots will take over the world" kind of talk, but the "holy cow, there's serious money being thrown around" kind. Big Tech is about to drop $3 trillion on AI infrastructure by 2028. That's not a typo. While regular folks are splitting their Chipotle orders into four payments (yes, that's apparently a thing now), tech giants are building what amounts to digital gold mines. Here's the thing though – this AI boom ...
