Stocks to buy

Tom Yeung here with your Sunday Digest.  Last week, I recommended five stocks to buy in 2025 on a Donald Trump election victory. The president-elect is known for his clear intentions, and his second term promises even more of what we saw during his first 2016-2020 go-around. (I realize some of you will love this

Ever since Donald Trump became the 47th U.S. president-elect this past Election Day, the stock market has been on a tear. Clearly, investors believe that his pro-growth policies will benefit both the U.S. economy and stock market over the next few years. Now, thankfully, we don’t have to guess how a Trump presidency will impact

Tom Yeung here with your Sunday Digest.   On November 6, we finally got our answer…  Donald Trump will be the 47th president of the United States of America.  Half of all Americans are delighted. Trump has promised everything from lower taxes to stricter migration rules, and Congress appears in a position to let him

For the past two days, the stock market has benefitted nicely from the so-called “Trump Bump.”  That is, ever since Donald Trump won the 47th U.S. Presidential Election – on the premise that his pro-growth policies will benefit the U.S. economy and stock market – stocks have been taking off.  But how big is the

Well, the election results are in. It seems that, come January, Donald J. Trump will be sworn in as the 47th president of the United States. And thanks to a sweeping ‘red wave,’ he will also receive ample support from a Republican House and Senate to execute his economic plans during the first two years

With a large amount of anxiety and perhaps a touch of dread, the time has finally come – Election Day. And that means that within the next few hours – or possibly days – we will have chosen a new president of the United States.  Now, that’s a big deal for a lot of reasons. 

Tom Yeung here with this week’s Sunday Digest.   Last week, I told you the story about news magnate Charles E. Marsh. The Ohio-born businessman had built an incredible fortune buying up small newspapers across Texas in the 1930s… but knew little about the oil boom happening under his nose.  To invest in the bonanza, he

Yesterday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released the official October Jobs Report – and it was a dud. The U.S. economy added just 12,000 jobs last month, versus expectations for 100,000 new jobs and far below the September total of 254,000 new jobs. Meanwhile, the August and September job growth numbers were revised lower by

The stock market powered higher today to kickstart November on a positive note, driven by a combination of strong earnings and encouraging economic data. Several tech companies delivered good numbers last night, topping estimates and confirming both the resilience of the U.S. economy and strength of the AI Boom. As we’ve been saying for weeks,

Over the past 48 hours, three of the world’s largest tech companies – Alphabet (GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), and Meta (META) – reported third-quarter earnings. And we think the takeaway from those results is consistent and clear: the investment opportunity AI offers is immense.  Now, I know that since late 2022, we’ve been hearing about AI’s

Today, Alphabet (GOOGL) – one of the world’s most important tech companies – is seeing its stock price soar.  What’s driving those hefty gains? The tech giant’s excellent quarterly numbers, mostly powered by continued strength in AI. In short, Alphabet is successfully leveraging artificial intelligence to improve the efficacy of its advertising business, the experience

Last week was a wild one for Wall Street. After several days of volatile trading, the markets ended Friday on a high note. Another batch of great earnings reports and encouraging economic data led stocks to surge into the weekend. And it seems that bullishness has staying power.  Today, stocks are once again surging to

Tom Yeung here with this week’s Sunday Digest.  In 1934, news magnate Charles E. Marsh was already a wealthy man. The 47-year-old media mogul had spent his career buying up small newspapers, and his keen eye for mergers and acquisitions (particularly in Texas) had made him a millionaire.  But when it came to Texas’s booming

Editor’s note: “Where to Focus Your Sights as the AI Boom Rages On” was previously published in August 2024. It has since been updated to include the most relevant information available. In the 1990 film “The Two Jakes,” legendary actor Jack Nicholson says one of my favorite lines: You can follow the action, which gets

When it comes to the crypto market, the last seven months can be best summed up with one word: disappointing.  Back in March 2024, Bitcoin peaked at record-highs around $73,000. This came right after the first set of Bitcoin ETF approvals and right before the Fourth Halving (two catalysts that were expected to push cryptos

Tom Yeung here, with this week’s Sunday Digest. Last week, I wrote how smaller companies tend to outperform when the U.S. Federal Reserve cuts rates. These firms are naturally riskier, and so having cheap money makes them more likely to survive. That’s because borrowing money becomes cheaper… Venture capitalists open their wallets… Consumers feel more confident…

Today is the day, folks. After years of testing and ever-extending timelines, Tesla (TSLA) is finally set to unveil its self-driving robotaxi at its “We, Robot” event this very evening.  At 7 p.m. Pacific time, Elon Musk will take the stage to debut Tesla’s so-called Cybercab – an autonomous vehicle that Musk himself believes will

Tom Yeung here with the Sunday Digest.  In mid-2019, the U.S. Federal Reserve began cutting interest rates for the first time since the 2007-’08 global financial crisis. The U.S. economy was beginning to slow, and economists were worried that trade disputes and weak global growth could send America into a recession. The COVID-19 pandemic the

Lately, we’ve been all-in on autonomous vehicles (AVs). And while this enthusiasm isn’t new, it’s certainly been fortified by the flood of developments unfurling recently. In fact, we see so much promise in this industry that we’ve been pounding the table on it for days, sharing all about the dawn of the “Age of AVs.”

So much for an impending recession! Today’s official jobs report solidly confirmed that the U.S. economy is not on the brink of a recession. Rather, it seems to be in the early innings of a powerful recovery.  As such, we think this strong data sets the stage for a powerful stock rally in the final
