Economic Reports:

Data subject to delay if government shutdown continues.

Workers on strike at Boeing said nope to the latest offer, keeping the strike going and putting more delay risk on defense jets and everything downstream.

The company says it has a backup plan, but anyone who’s ever flown standby knows that’s not the same as an on-time departure. The stock’s been climbing this year, which tells you hope is alive, but headlines like this can turn smooth air into turbulence fast.

The bigger picture is trust needs rebuilding with both customers and crew, and that takes time, cash, and fewer “we’re working on it” moments.

If you’re reading this for a simple plan, here it is: let the dust settle. You want signs that the two sides are moving toward a deal or that production isn’t slipping further. Until then, treat green days like gifts and red days like reminders that this is still a fixer-upper.

My Take For You: If you’re not in, be patient and let negotiations progress. If you’re in, keep it modest and take some profits on strong days so a headline doesn’t steal your lunch.

My Verdict: Watch-list with a finger on the exit. Worth a small position only if you’re okay with news whiplash and slow repairs.

USA Rare Earth and friends slipped after chatter that China might delay new export limits. What we’re seeing is the supply squeeze right now story cooled off, and the hot money went looking for a different campfire.

The long game hasn’t changed much, as these minerals still matter for magnets, motors, and the whole clean-tech parade, but the near-term drama just dialed down. That’s fine. Less shouting makes it easier to see who’s actually building real capacity and signing real buyers, not just waving a flag on social media.

For you, the move is to stop chasing sirens and start hunting substance. Look for actual deals, plants that are making things, and costs that behave. The sector will keep throwing plot twists, but the winners are the ones shipping product, not headlines.

My Take For You: If you’re curious, wait for calmer prices and real updates from the company. If you own it, trim a little on bounces and keep a simple I’m-out-if-it-breaks-here line.

My Verdict: Speculative with capital-S. Fun for a small swing on pullbacks, but only hold it if you can handle policy mood swings and long build times.

A fresh “strong buy” and a big-name deal rumor lit the fuse, and now the stock is jumping like it heard its favorite song.

It’s easy to understand. A larger pharma wants key programs, shareholders get a cash offer with a sweetener, and the smaller company gets a louder megaphone.

That said, deals take time, rules need checking, and not every headline turns into a happily-ever-after. Expect cheering sections on both sides and a few plot twists before the final credits roll.

In the end, keep it simple. Chasing big gaps can feel like buying the last slice at a party, pricey and gone in a flash. Let it breathe. If the offer firms up and the spread makes sense, you’ll still have a shot without doing cartwheels in premarket.

My Take For You: If you’re new, let it settle and see the deal details. If you’re already long the stock, consider taking some gains and riding the rest with a calm head.

My Verdict: Good story with deal juice, but treat it like a trade until the paperwork is real. Enjoy the pop, keep expectations humble, and don’t fall in love with the first chorus.

Bitcoin’s perking up, and this miner just bragged about stacking more coins, so the feeling is “number go up.” Nothing fancy here. When the big coin bounces, the shovel-sellers usually smile.

Just remember, this name can move like a scooter on wet pavement, fun until it slips.

The meme crowd woke up again, options chatter got loud, and suddenly the retro game shop is back on your screen. Pokémon drops and holiday hype help the story, but this still trades on feelings as much as numbers. Expect pop-and-drop loops.

They beat earnings and lifted the outlook, but the stock’s yawning anyway. Classic good news, weird reaction.

It could just be nerves in the call or folks taking chips off the table after a tough year. But the numbers looked generally good.

Every month, a handful of stocks quietly outperform the rest — and those early movers often go on to deliver double-digit gains.

We’ve identified 7 of them showing the strongest near-term potential based on proprietary screening signals.

These aren’t hype stocks or risky bets.

They’re backed by real earnings power, rising analyst sentiment, and technical strength — the kind of combination that precedes powerful rallies.
