Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) delivered a strong first quarter, but the market was not happy about it. There seemed to be a disconnect between the numbers the streaming service presented and how investors ultimately feel about the forward guidance. This led to the stock price plunging 10% on Friday, April 17. Long-term investors should see this sudden dip as a solid entry point into a company that's steadily expanding globally, rather than a warning sign of future weakness. Investors who were upset with the lukewarm forward outlook are missing a bigger point. Netflix has a massive opportunity outside of the United States. The streamer has penetrated less than 45% of the total addressable market, leaving plenty of eyeballs to capture through subscriptions. Continue reading

Marjorie Taylor Greene Amplifies Viral Doubts About Butler Assassination Attempt Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has drawn attention to a detailed personal account from a longtime Trump supporter who now questions key elements of the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt on then-candidate Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. In an April 12 post on X, Trisha Hope, a self-described J6 activist and 2024 Republican National Convention delegate from Texas, details how she shifted from staunch MAGA supporter to skeptic - writing "I learned of the attempt on Trump's life at the Butler rally. I was in the middle of having dinner at a restaurant in Little Rock, AR." Then, at the convention, she thought it was strange that Trump opened his speech by saying he would recount the incident “exactly” once because “it’s actually too painful to tell, ” which she found out of character for someone who makes everything about himself. Hope also thought that the 'ICONIC' photograph of Trump rising with fist raised, shouting “FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT” was weird and “perfectly timed” with a flag lowering and Secret Service agents positioned as if for a staged shot. "Following the inauguration, I found it odd that Trump wasn't going aggressively after those who allowed this to happen. He seemed to behave like it was no big deal," she writes, adding that Trump later promoted Sean Curran - the agent visible in the white shirt in that photo - to head of the Secret Service on January 22, 2025 , rather than dismissing anyone for security failures. She also questions Trump’s limited subsequent references to the event, except to say he “took a bullet for us,” and argues that Corey Comperatore’s death was necessary to make the incident believable, while his widow has been denied ongoing answers. Hope concludes by urging readers to apply “critical thinking skills” and have “at least some questions.” "Instead of his SS detail being terminated as they should have been, Trum...

Joshua wanchai/iStock via Getty Images Market Review The S&P 500 Index faced a volatile first quarter, shaped by escalating geopolitical tensions and a spike in oil prices related to the conflict in Iran, which supported Energy and defense stocks. Despite the uncertainty, the macroeconomic backdrop has remained relatively strong, although tighter financial conditions weighed on economically sensitive stocks, even as economic growth and earnings expectations showed resilience. The narrative around artificial intelligence (AI) shifted toward concerns that potential disruption would impact the future value of many of the large, established players across tech and other industries. This also contributed to the market's decline in the first quarter. Within the S&P 500, the top sector performers were Energy, Materials and Utilities, while Financials, Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary performed the worst.

In this article BUG CIBR .DJI .SPX MSFT Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT watch now VIDEO 12:40 12:40 ETF shelters from the Middle East War ETF Edge Cybersecurity and enterprise software stocks have been market dogs since the start of 2026, with fears that AI will wipe out a wide range of companies in the enterprise space dominating the narrative. But they snapped a brutal losing streak this past week, joining in the broader market rally that saw all losses from the U.S.-Iran war regained by the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 . Cybersecurity has been "a victim of some of the AI-related headlines," Christian Magoon, Amplify ETFs CEO, said on this week's "ETF Edge." It wasn't just niche cybersecurity names. Take Microsoft , for example, which was recently down close to 20% for the year. Its shares surged last week by 13%. A big driver of the pummeling in software stocks was a rotation within tech by investors to AI infrastructure and semiconductors and some other names in large-cap tech, Magoon said, and since cybersecurity stocks and ETFs are heavily weighted towards software companies, they were left behind even as those businesses continue to grow on a fundamental basis. But Wall Street now has become more bullish with the stocks at lower levels. Brent Thill, Jefferies tech analyst, said last week that the worst may be over for software stocks. "I think that this concept that software is dead , and then Anthropic and OpenAI are going to kill the entire industry, is just over-exaggerated," he said on CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Wednesday. " Big Short" investor Michael Burry wrote in a Substack post on Wednesday that he is becoming bullish about software stocks after the recent selloff. "Software stocks remain interesting because of accelerated extreme declines last week arising from a reflexive positive feedback loop between falling software stocks and changes in the market for their bank debt ," he wrote. The Global X Cybersecurity ETF ( BUG ), i...

Tasos Katopodis/Getty Images Entertainment U.S. gasoline prices could stay above $3 a gallon longer than some administration officials have projected, with Energy Secretary Chris Wright saying relief may not come until next year. Speaking on CNN’s State of the Union , Wright said gas prices “have likely peaked” and should fall once there is a “resolution” to the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran. When asked when prices might move below $3 a gallon, Wright replied, “I don’t know — that could happen later this year, that might not happen until next year.” His comments differ from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who said last week he expects cheaper fuel during the summer driving season. Bessent told reporters at the White House he is “optimistic that sometime between June 20 and Sept. 20, that we can have $3 gas again.” The national average for regular gasoline was $4.10 per gallon last week, according to AAA. That compares with prices below $3 before the conflict with Iran began on Feb. 28. Higher fuel costs could add to political pressure ahead of the midterm elections. An April 9-13 Quinnipiac University poll found 65% of voters blame President Donald Trump for rising gas prices, while 57% disapprove of his management of the economy.
