So here's the tea: MSCI, the indexing giant that basically decides which stocks get to sit at the cool kids' table, just announced they're not kicking crypto treasury companies out of their indexes. Cue the collective sigh of relief from MicroStrategy and friends. If you're wondering "what's the big deal?" – imagine if the bouncer at the hottest club in town suddenly decided your type wasn't welcome anymore. That's essentially what MSCI was threatening to do to companies like MicroStrategy, whose ...

Look, I know what you're thinking. Another year, another batch of market predictions from some Wall Street guru with a crystal ball that's probably just a Magic 8-Ball in disguise. But hear me out – Louis Navellier's latest predictions for 2026 actually make sense, and I'm not just saying that because I need content for this blog. 1. Kevin Hassett Might Actually Become Fed Chair (And That's Not Terrible) Jerome Powell's term ends in May, and Trump's likely to tap Kevin Hassett ...

So here's the thing about really rich people – they're terrible at keeping secrets when it comes to where they're putting their money. Case in point: JPMorgan just hired Todd Combs (yes, Warren Buffett's former golden boy) to manage a cool $10 billion fund. And they basically handed us their entire shopping list. Think of it as the world's most expensive treasure map, except instead of "X marks the spot," it's more like "defense contractors mark the spot." The Big Six Sectors ...

So Ray Dalio—you know, the billionaire hedge fund guy who's basically the Yoda of investing—just threw some serious shade at everyone celebrating their 2025 stock market gains. And honestly? He's got a point that might make you rethink that victory lap. Here's the deal: While everyone's been high-fiving over the S&P 500's 18% return last year, Dalio's over here playing the role of that friend who points out your "designer" bag is actually a knockoff. Except instead of fashion, he's talking ...

So everyone's obsessing over AI chips, right? NVIDIA this, NVIDIA that. But here's the plot twist nobody saw coming: all those fancy GPUs are basically expensive paperweights if you can't plug them in. Bloomberg just dropped some numbers that should make every AI investor do a double-take. They're saying U.S. data centers will need 106 gigawatts of power by 2035 – that's up 36% from their previous estimate and nearly triple what we use today. To put that in perspective, that's ...

So here we are in 2026, and Wall Street analysts are feeling pretty optimistic – which, let's be honest, is about as rare as finding a parking spot in Manhattan during rush hour. According to the number-crunchers at FactSet, a whopping 57.5% of nearly 13,000 U.S. stocks are getting "Buy" ratings right now. That's the highest we've seen since February 2022, back when we all thought inflation was "transitory" and NFTs were the future. Ah, simpler times. The Popular Kids Table Three sectors ...

So Goldman Sachs just dropped their 2026 market predictions, and honestly? They're basically saying "more of the same, but maybe chill out a little." After three years of the stock market acting like it's on espresso shots, the investment bank thinks we're in for another good year—just not a completely bonkers one. Here's the deal: They're calling for the S&P 500 to hit 7,600 by year-end, which is a solid 12% gain. Not too shabby, but also not the kind of ...

So, you've probably seen the headlines about Venezuela and wondered what the heck is actually going on. Let me break it down for you without all the political theater. Here's the deal: This whole Venezuela thing? It's not really about democracy or fighting the bad guys (though that makes for better TV). It's about oil. Specifically, it's about the kind of oil that makes certain people very, very rich. The Oil Mismatch Nobody Talks About Picture this: You've got a fancy espresso machine, ...
