So here's the thing about building the future: it turns out it's really, really expensive to keep the lights on. Trump just dropped a classic "make them pay their own way" move on Big Tech, specifically targeting the massive data centers that power our AI overlords. And Wall Street's favorite tech cheerleader, Dan Ives, is basically saying "hold up, this could mess with the whole AI party." Here's what's happening: Microsoft just announced they're scrambling to figure out how to keep their ...

Look, I'm not trying to hurt your feelings, but if you're still chasing those "safe" 6% annual returns while patting yourself on the back for being "responsible," you're basically riding a bicycle in the Indy 500. Meanwhile, 1,000 new millionaires are being minted in America every single day. Every. Single. Day. Here's the thing that'll blow your mind: the best companies in the world today don't actually make anything. I know, I know – sounds completely backwards, right? The "Make Nothing, Make ...

Remember when silver was the "poor man's gold"? Well, that poor man just got really, really rich. Silver has absolutely exploded over the past year, going from around $30 per ounce to over $90 today. That's a triple-your-money situation that would make even the most jaded Wall Street trader do a little happy dance. And here's the kicker – most analysts think we're heading straight for $100. Not "maybe if the stars align" but more like "when, not if." So what's ...

Remember when your biggest investment worry was whether to buy the dip? Well, welcome to 2026, where geopolitical chaos is the new black and precious metals are having the time of their lives. Here's the deal: Gold is up 5% this year and silver just pulled a 25% year-to-date gain that would make crypto bros weep with envy. And we can thank our favorite chaos agent, Donald Trump, for turning the markets into his personal drama series. The "Sell America" Trade is ...

So, 2025 is in the rearview mirror, and guess what? The same old suspects dominated the party again. Tech and communication stocks basically carried the S&P 500 to a solid 16% return, because apparently we can't quit our addiction to screens and algorithms. But here's the million-dollar question: Should we expect more of the same tech dominance in 2026, or is it time to diversify our bets? The financial data nerds at FactSet just dropped some interesting intel after analyzing nearly 12,700 ...

So Bank of America just released their hot takes on mining stocks for 2026, and honestly? They're not messing around. While everyone's been obsessing over AI stocks (looking at you, NVIDIA), the metals market has been quietly having its own little party. Here's the deal: precious and industrial metals have been on an absolute tear lately. Gold, silver, copper – they're all up big time. And BofA thinks this party is just getting started, thanks to some pretty solid tailwinds like ...

Look, I get it. When someone starts talking about "commodity supercycles," your eyes probably glaze over faster than a donut at Krispy Kreme. But stick with me here, because there's a genuinely wild story unfolding that could make some serious money. Here's the deal: AI is eating the world, and it's really, really hungry for copper. The Setup That's Too Good to Ignore Remember when everyone was losing their minds about ChatGPT in 2023? Well, that was just the appetizer. The main course ...

So here's the deal: inflation numbers came out this morning, and they were... fine. Not spectacular, not terrible, just fine. Kind of like that friend who always shows up exactly on time but never brings snacks. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) hit exactly what economists expected - 0.3% monthly, 2.7% yearly. Core CPI (that's the fancy version that ignores food and energy because apparently those don't count when you're trying to look smart) came in even better at 0.2% monthly and ...
