It’s been just two weeks since the SpaceX (NASDAQ: SPCX) IPO, and it’s already starting to feel like back-page news. This week, the market had a long “memory” for stocks.

Good MorningU.S. stocks lost momentum Friday, with the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq lower late in the session as technology shares extended a recent slide. Investors continued rotating away from AI momentum names and chipmakers, with NVIDIA entering correction territory and ON Semiconductor falling after announcing a $7 billion all-stock deal for Synaptics. Software and cloud names drew more interest as AI spending expectations broadened beyond semiconductors.
Policy headlines added to the cautious tone. President Trump threatened 100% tariffs on countries enforcing digital services taxes on U.S. companies, while markets also monitored his claim that Iran violated a ceasefire agreement. OpenAI reportedly weighed pushing back its IPO to 2027 and limited access to its new GPT-5.6 models at the U.S. government’s request, adding fresh questions around the AI trade.
Banks were a relative bright spot after passing the Federal Reserve’s 2026 stress tests, with JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, and PNC among firms moving to raise dividends. Elsewhere, Verizon won nearly $3.2 billion in spectrum licenses, UPS announced a $48 million cold-chain investment tied to GLP-1 drug demand, and space stocks rallied, including Virgin Galactic, AST SpaceMobile, and Rocket Lab.

In 1976, Chevron, Unocal, and Texaco each confirmed the same energy technology worked - no fuel costs, no carbon, no supply chain. All three killed their projects because it threatened their core business.
Now one company has spent sixty years developing what Big Oil refused to touch. Google just signed a 15-year contract, Bill Gates wrote a $100 million check, and on July 4th the government hands it a competitive edge no other energy source receives. |

Three years ago, Karim Rahemtulla of Monument Traders Alliance was pounding the table on Rolls-Royce when it traded under $1. Today it's over $10 - and some early readers turned small positions into six-figure gains.
Now Karim says he's found another company with a similar setup: massive profits, a dirt-cheap valuation, strong dividend growth, an AI catalyst, and White House backing - and it's still early. |
