Four Straight Losing Weeks, Ground Troops on Deck, and Gas at $3.91

The Nasdaq is flirting with correction territory, gold just posted its worst week since 2011, and Iraq dropped a force majeure announcement Friday afternoon that sent oil right back up just when it looked like it might breathe.

The full damage report, including the names that somehow found green in all of this, is laid out below.

Bloomberg is calling Elon Musk’s upcoming SpaceX IPO “the biggest listing of all time.”

Most investors will be locked out until after it goes public… but there’s a way for everyday Americans to potentially gain early exposure before the IPO.

I’ve found a method that could let you access a pre-IPO stake in SpaceX today.

Friday was almost survivable... and then Iraq declared force majeure on every foreign-operated oilfield it has, Brent shot back above $112, and the afternoon turned into a fire sale.

Brent is up 55% in March alone, which is the kind of number that stops feeling real after you say it a few times.

The strangest subplot of the week: gold, which is supposed to be the thing you hide in when everything breaks, just posted its worst weekly performance since 2011, because when inflation looks this sticky, even the safe havens have nowhere to go.

NextEra Energy Inc (NYSE: NEE) just received federal approval to develop up to 10 gigawatts of natural gas generation across Texas and Pennsylvania.

The projects will be jointly owned with Japanese partners. NextEra builds and operates the facilities.

For a company best known as the world's largest wind and solar generator, this is a big strategic shift.

Clean Energy Giant Adds Gas

NextEra built its reputation on renewables. But electricity demand from data centers and manufacturing is surging faster than renewables alone can serve.

You hear "clean energy company builds gas plants," and it sounds contradictory. It is actually a company building whatever the grid needs most right now.

30 Hubs and Counting

NextEra has close to 30 power generation hubs in development and is pushing toward 40: each hub bundles generation, permits, and grid connections into a single package that dramatically shortens timelines.

No competitor is replicating this anywhere near the same scale. That structural advantage deserves your full attention.

Built for What Comes Next

These projects target data centers and large industrial users who need massive, reliable power on tight timelines. NextEra is building the answer before most competitors have started planning.

Step back, and the bigger picture hits differently. You have a renewables giant adding gas, a hub strategy nobody can copy, and federal backing to build at speed.

That makes NextEra one of the most strategically positioned energy companies in the country right now.

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) is planning to buy $2.9 billion worth of solar manufacturing equipment from Chinese suppliers and ship it to Texas.

The goal is to build 100 gigawatts of solar manufacturing capacity on American soil before the end of 2028.

The entire U.S. currently has about 135 gigawatts of solar capacity total. Tesla is not adding to the solar market. It is trying to nearly double it by itself.

Cars Were Just the Beginning

Tesla started as an electric car company. Then it added batteries and energy storage.

Now it is making a massive push into solar manufacturing at a scale that dwarfs anything it has attempted before.

Most of the solar power produced would be used by Tesla itself, with some going to power satellite operations. The direction is unmistakable.

Tesla is becoming an energy company that also happens to sell cars.

The Timeline Is Ambitious to Put It Gently

Delivering equipment by autumn, building factories in Texas, and reaching 100 gigawatts by 2028 would require execution at a pace that no company has ever achieved in solar manufacturing.

The ambition is massive. 

Whether your confidence in the timeline matches the scale of the promise is another question entirely.

Energy Is the Real Endgame

Pay attention to what Tesla is actually building here. Not just panels but an entire energy supply chain designed to power everything from its own factories to the data centers reshaping the economy.

Abbott Laboratories (NYSE: ABT) is closing its acquisition of Exact Sciences on Monday. The deal brings one of the most recognized cancer screening platforms in the world under Abbott's roof.

Abbott already leads in diagnostics. This deal puts it at the center of cancer detection, one of the fastest-growing categories in healthcare.

Finding Cancer Earlier Changes Everything

Cancer survival rates improve dramatically when the disease is caught early. Exact Sciences built its entire business around that principle.

Every product in the portfolio is designed to detect cancer sooner, guide treatment smarter, or monitor patients more closely after treatment ends.

Abbott now owns that entire capability. You rarely see a single acquisition transform a company's position in a market this completely.

A $60 Billion Market Just Got a New Leader

The U.S. cancer screening and precision oncology diagnostics market is valued at $60 billion and growing fast. Cancer rates are rising worldwide.

Demand for earlier, less invasive detection continues to accelerate.

Abbott just planted itself at the front of that wave. The pipeline behind the current products includes next-generation tools designed to detect cancer even earlier than current methods.

That forward-looking depth changes your entire read on where Abbott is heading.

AleAnna [ANNA] $7.07 (+86.56%) 

AleAnna is a natural gas exploration company with acreage in Italy, and the stock more than doubled Friday as European natural gas prices surged following Iran's strikes on Qatar's LNG infrastructure.

With the continent scrambling for alternative supply and AleAnna sitting on undeveloped gas assets in a NATO country, the market decided to reprice the optionality in a single session.

Volume ran at over 100x average... this was retail momentum meeting a genuine macro catalyst.

Planet Labs [PL] $33.83 (+25.48%)

Planet Labs operates the world's largest fleet of Earth-imaging satellites, and the stock surged as the military escalation in the Middle East made real-time satellite surveillance of energy infrastructure, troop movements, and shipping lanes feel like the most valuable data product on the market.

At an $11.24 billion market cap with a Buy rating and volume running at 4x average, this was institutions making a considered bet on a prolonged conflict driving government and commercial demand for exactly what Planet sells.

Falcon's Beyond Global [FBYD] $7.23 (+18.14%) 

Falcon's Beyond develops location-based entertainment experiences and has been largely ignored by the market for months.

Friday's move came on the back of a strategic partnership announcement that gave the company access to a significantly larger venue pipeline than it had been operating with, and the market treated the news as a genuine business inflection rather than a speculative pop... though at a $397 million market cap with no current earnings, you'll want to watch the follow-through next week.

Super Micro Computer [SMCI] $20.55 (-33.27%) 

Super Micro reported preliminary quarterly results that came in well below its own prior guidance, and the company disclosed it would need to restate financials again — a repeat of the accounting concerns that nearly got it delisted last year.

At a $12.31 billion market cap, a 33% single-day drop is a staggering loss of value, and the 9x relative volume tells you every institutional holder was making the same exit decision simultaneously.

The accounting credibility problem is back, and the market has zero patience for it.

T1 Energy [TE] $6.60 (-14.40%) 

T1 Energy develops utility-scale solar projects, and the stock dropped sharply as rising Treasury yields — now reflecting a 30% probability of a Fed rate hike — hit rate-sensitive clean energy names across the board.

Solar project economics are built on long-duration financing assumptions, and when the rate outlook shifts this fast, the valuation math on development-stage energy companies gets rewritten in real time.

At a $1.77 billion market cap with a Strong Buy rating, the selloff may create an opportunity — but not today.

Applied Optoelectronics [AAOI] $87.54 (-14.11%)

AAOI makes fiber optic components for data centers and had been one of the AI infrastructure trade's quieter beneficiaries, riding a 300% run over the past year on surging hyperscaler demand.

Friday's drop came as the broader tech selloff hit high-multiple names hardest, and a stock that's up that much in a year tends to attract aggressive sellers the moment sentiment shifts.

No company-specific news — just a market that decided Thursday's level was no longer defensible.

For decades, one type of investment was reserved for the ultra-wealthy.

Then Trump signed Executive Order 14330 - and opened it to everyone.

Now you can get into this boom for less than $20.
