The market had another schizophrenic week. Good news about the economy was treated like a threat, and bad news was celebrated. Confused? Don’t be.
Here's what's inside this week's issue:
Nasdaq-100 Report: We look at who survived the week in the woods and what the upcoming jobs report propaganda means for your money.
Earnings vs. Reality: Earnings season is a masterclass in corporate theater. We're looking past the script to see if the numbers match the story for five key companies: the king ( NVDA 0.00%↑ ), the quiet killer ( ADSK 0.00%↑ ), the rocket ship ( CRWD 0.00%↑ ), the storyteller ( MRVL 0.00%↑ ), and the price warrior ( PDD 0.00%↑ ).
Long-Term Deep Dives: The herd got spooked and trampled two stocks this week, creating a potential opening for us. We run a full analysis on Keurig Dr Pepper ( KDP 0.00%↑ ) and Marvell Technology ( MRVL 0.00%↑ ) to see if Wall Street's fear is our opportunity to buy.
Stock Duel: This week's fight is between two "Eyeball Merchants" battling for control of the ads in your mobile games. We put AppLovin ( APP 0.00%↑ ) and Unity ( U 0.00%↑ ) in the ring to see which one comes out standing.
This Week's Special: The options market is the world's biggest casino. I'm going to show you how to stop buying their lottery tickets and start acting like the house.
Rick's Podcast: The great AI shakedown of 2025 is here. The easy money is gone. We talk about who’s really winning, who’s getting crushed, and what it all says about the rigged game we're forced to play.
Let's get to work.
