This wasn't a predictable turn of events. Indeed, you could call it a Black Swan, and it followed the Black Swan playbook I outlined way back in 2017. ...if the event is truly out of the blue, long term investors in equities should not panic. Price tends to return to the level it was at before the event. Moreover, the repeatable nature of the reaction provides opportunities to trade the recovery, and even fade the return to the scene of the crime. Technical analysis cannot predict what President Trump is about to do unless insiders know and make large enough trades to influence the charts. That's unlikely. But it can help us trade the aftermath and stay with the bigger picture trend. This week's article looks at why the rally is likely to grind higher, and why a blow-off may be needed to change the behaviour. S&P 500 Monthly With a week to go until the monthly close, the January bar currently has the smallest range since May '23. It's stalling just where it was expected to at the top of the channel, and the 161% extension of the 2025 drop. A close around the open of 6878, or lower, could start to form a reversal pattern, not only on the monthly chart, but on the quarterly chart too. As we head into February, this momentum loss may be important as February is the second worst month of the year for the S&P500, with 35 lower closes out of 76. If next week closes strong above 6900, it should lead to further highs in February. Even still, the prospects don't look good for a sustained breakout. SPX Monthly (Tradingview) An upside DeMARK exhaustion count has now advanced to bar 8 (of 9) in January. A reaction can unfold from bar 8 onwards, and this signal has led to a drop of at least 10% on the last 3 occasions. The rally has reached resistance at the major ...

For years, investors in China’s stock market took comfort in an unseen backstop: the so-called national team , quietly deploying vast firepower to cushion selloffs and stabilize prices. The script flipped last week. Record outflows from exchange-traded funds held by Central Huijin Investment, a sovereign wealth fund, sent the clearest signal yet that Beijing is no longer simply propping up the market, but actively reining in the rally — a sharp break from past rescue playbooks. While many investors see the selling as an effort to drain speculative excess from pockets of the technology sector rather than cool the broader market, the national team’s shift from one-way support to two-way trading is already changing behavior. Bloomberg Intelligence estimates Central Huijin sold $67.5 billion across 14 ETFs in just six sessions through Thursday. “If enough people are watching what this player is doing, its actions could be enough to alter expectations,” said Chen Da, founder of Dante Research. The ETF outflows have coincided with regulators’ efforts to tighten rules on margin financing, signaling unease over rapid gains in sectors such as rockets and AI applications, where profitability is unclear. The broader onshore benchmark CSI 300 has advanced 1.8% over the past month, while the chip-heavy Star 50 Index has jumped 16%. “These days it’s probably smart to focus trading on the stocks that the team owns less of to avoid being in the line of fire,” said Wu Wei, a fund manager at Beijing Win Integrity Investment Management Co. “My trading has slowed a bit, because it’s not a bullish signal at the end of the day.” While the national team’s trading activity won’t be revealed until ETFs’ quarterly reports, investors and analysts are busy estimating just how much ammunition there’s left. Central Huijin started aggressively investing in China’s ETFs in 2023, amassing $180 billion in such assets by the end of August 2025, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. The “scale of liqui...

The industry consensus is that 2026 will be the year of "agentic AI." We are rapidly moving past chatbots that simply summarize text. We are entering the era of autonomous agents that execute tasks. We expect them to book flights, diagnose system outages, manage cloud infrastructure and personalize media streams in real-time. As a technology executive overseeing platforms that serve 30 million concurrent users during massive global events like the Olympics and the Super Bowl, I have seen the unsexy reality behind the hype: Agents are incredibly fragile. Executives and VCs obsess over model benchmarks. They debate Llama 3 versus GPT-4. They focus on maximizing context window sizes. Yet they are ignoring the actual failure point. The primary reason autonomous agents fail in production is often due to data hygiene issues. In the previous era of "human-in-the-loop" analytics, data quality was a manageable nuisance. If an ETL pipeline experiences an issue, a dashboard may display an incorrect revenue number. A human analyst would spot the anomaly, flag it and fix it. The blast radius was contained. In the new world of autonomous agents , that safety net is gone. If a data pipeline drifts today, an agent doesn't just report the wrong number. It takes the wrong action . It provisions the wrong server type. It recommends a horror movie to a user watching cartoons. It hallucinates a customer service answer based on corrupted vector embeddings. To run AI at the scale of the NFL or the Olympics, I realized that standard data cleaning is insufficient. We cannot just "monitor" data. We must legislate it. A solution to this specific problem could be in the form of a ‘data quality – creed’ framework. It functions as a 'data constitution.' It enforces thousands of automated rules before a single byte of data is allowed to touch an AI model. While I applied this specifically to the streaming architecture at NBCUniversal, the methodology is universal for any enterprise looking to ope...

These companies look poised to succeed in the long-term quantum race. It seems like every artificial intelligence (AI) stock has a sky-high valuation right now. That's why smart investors may want to look into what some are calling the next big thing: quantum computing. By using qubits -- computer components derived from quantum particles -- quantum computers can achieve calculation processing speeds trillions of times faster (or more) than traditional computers. The drawback is that right now, quantum computers tend to be massive, expensive, error-prone, and definitely not ready for the mass consumer market. Even so, there are plenty of stocks that look like great buys for someone who wants to invest in quantum computing. Here are 3 of the best options out there. 1. Rigetti Computing: The developer-friendly option Although there aren't many individuals who own a quantum computer right now, you can use one from just about anywhere. That's thanks to quantum-computing cloud platforms like the one offered by Rigetti Computing (RGTI 5.95%), which also makes quantum processing units (QPUs). Rigetti began offering quantum computing services via the cloud in 2017, and made it a priority to court developers and encourage them to familiarize themselves with the platform. The company introduced a 9-qubit QPU called Novera in 2023 that could be plugged into existing on-site quantum infrastructure by a customer. It piggybacked on the success of these 9-qubit chiplets by deploying a 36-qubit system, the Cepheus-1, that was based on four 9-qubit chiplets tiled together.

Quantum computing will change the world. The technology promises to solve computing problems that are way beyond the powers of today's digital chips. The nuanced approach to mathematics can draw conclusions in shades of gray rather than black-and-white ones and zeroes. As such, quantum computing is pretty much guaranteed to disrupt everything from cryptography and genetic engineering to financial planning and weather forecasts. But the technology is not ready to hit the mainstream limelight. It's not even close. Researchers in this field are battling issues such as noise reduction, error correction, and stability of the qubit computing units. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang recently said that useful quantum computers are about 20 years away -- and he should know, because Nvidia is a leading developer of digital-to-quantum system communications. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » So I'm not ready to pick winners among the true quantum computing specialists quite yet. Names like IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) and D-Wave Quantum Systems (NYSE: QBTS) might become system-building giants in the far future, but their research could also hit a dead end until they run out of cash. Honestly, I'm afraid that the bearish conclusion is more likely for all of them at this point. But I see quantum computing as a great long-term business for some of today's most celebrated tech giants. These behemoths can pour more money and engineering effort into their quantum computing exploration than any of the single-issue specialists ever could, treating quantum physics as a minor side gig until the industry emerges as a big-time money maker. I already mentioned Nvidia, but that stock doesn't stand out as a great buy right now. Call me back if the stock gets significantly cheaper, or if the company's artificial intelligence (AI) dominance continues over the next few years. Until then, I'm more interested in good...

And then the gap was down to four points. It is still four points, but the thought that Arsenal will struggle to suppress is that it could have been more, that it should have been more. Manchester City have won only one of their past five in the league, but Arsenal have not opened up clear water. Against Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, they failed to take advantage of City slip‑ups, drawing both those games 0-0, and that left them vulnerable to a game such as this. From an Arsenal point of view, the title race is disturbingly alive. Arsenal should be fine. They have been the best team in the league so far. They’ve been the best team in the Champions League. They’ve lost only three times all season. They have a good claim to be the best side in the world right now. But there will be inevitable nibbles of doubt: Arsenal have still to go to the Etihad Stadium in April; lose that and the gap will be one; and that means the pressure is on; one slip-up and the lead could be City’s … There is no reason for such negativity; there has been nothing to suggest City are about to embark upon a remorseless winning run. But when a team have not won the league in 22 years, a certain amount of catastrophising is inevitable. Yet it is also so mystifying. This Arsenal at times feel like a drama in the tradition of Blade Runner or Westworld. They are cyborg killers, ruthless and implacable, but they have spent so long in the company of people that they have begun to develop human characteristics, most notably anxiety, or at least a hyper‑awareness of the consequences of what they are doing. The tendency is perhaps reduced this season, but they remain a team, conditioned perhaps by the expectations of fans who feel every second of their wait for a title, prone to periods of fretfulness and at times, to almighty, inexplicable ricks.

On Saturday, Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care unit nurse and U.S. citizen, was shot and killed by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis. There's a wide gap between what Americans have seen of the shooting and what federal officials are telling them. Soon after the shooting, Department of Homeland Security officials rushed to defend the officers involved, claiming the victim "approached U.S. Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun" and that when federal agents attempted to disarm him, "the suspect violently resisted." DHS Secretary Kristi Noem defended the Border Patrol agent who shot Pretti, saying in a news conference that the agent fired "defensive" shots after the victim violently brandished a gun. "The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently," Noem said. In a separate press conference, Border Patrol commander-at-large Greg Bovino claimed Pretti may have wanted to do "maximum damage" and "massacre law enforcement." But videos taken by bystanders, filmed from several different angles, tell a different story. In the first video verified by CNBC, protestors can be heard honking their horns on an urban Minneapolis street, while the video's author records through a car windshield as the car moves. watch now VIDEO 0:53 00:53 GRAPHIC WARNING: Video shows moments before federal immigration agents fatally shoot man in Minnesota News Videos At 15 seconds, the camera pans to the left to show a man on the side of the street wearing a brown jacket and tan pants (believed to be Alex Pretti) holding up what appears to be a phone while being confronted by two federal agents. Pretti steps backwards away from the confrontation while appearing to yell at an agent. At 21 seconds, the person filming the video drives past the confrontation, and the camera swings to the other side of the street as someone in the car yells profanities.

You can still get Rocket Lab's returns, but with the added bonus of diversification. One of the top-performing names in the stock market in the last two years has been Rocket Lab (RKLB +1.05%). The company, which provides launch services, rockets, space vehicles, and satellite equipment, is an emerging force in U.S. and international space programs. Rocket Lab stock jumped 360% in 2024 and 174% in 2025. A $10,000 investment three short years ago would have turned into $186,880 today -- that's life-changing money for many people. Rocket Lab is a great name for anyone who is looking to invest in a space stock. But as much as I like Rocket Lab stock, I think a better buy today is the Defiance Drone and Modern Warfare ETF (JEDI +0.92%). This fund has Rocket Lab as a top holding, and it also provides exposure to several other interesting companies in related industries. What is the JEDI ETF? The Defiance Drone and Modern Warfare ETF, is operated by Defiance ETFs, which focuses on thematic exchange-traded funds. ETFs come in all sorts of flavors and colors -- some are index funds that track the S&P 500 or one of its sectors, and others are thematic ETFs that track an industry or concept. The JEDI ETF falls in the latter category. The JEDI ETF includes companies that develop military drones, AI-driven warfare and defense technology, space products (including space weaponry), military robotics, and military cybersecurity. The stocks in the ETF receive at least 50% of their revenue from those sources. Of note, no stock can have more than a 10% weighting of the entire index. That prevents any single name from getting too much exposure in the ETF. As of this writing, the JEDI ETF held 26 stocks, with Rocket Lab being the top holding. The top 10 stocks in the fund account for 64% of the ETF's weight. Rank/Company ETF Weight One-Year Performance 1. Rocket Lab 8.66% 180.8% 2. Kratos Defense & Security Solutions 7.29% 242.4% 3.

Key Points Energy Transfer is a large North American midstream business. Distributable cash flow easily covers the MLP's 7.5% yield. Future growth prospects look solid, but historical issues might be a problem for some. 10 stocks we like better than Energy Transfer › Energy Transfer (NYSE: ET) is one of the largest owners of energy infrastructure in North America. The fees it charges customers for moving oil and natural gas around the world are a reliable backstop for the master limited partnership's lofty 7.5% yield. Still, the biggest problem that more conservative income investors may have with Energy Transfer is trust. Here's what you need to know. Energy Transfer's business seems reliable Energy Transfer is a bit more complex than other pipeline-focused MLPs. It not only operates its own collection of midstream assets, but it also manages two other publicly traded MLPs, Sunoco LP (NYSE: SUN) and USA Compression Partners (NYSE: USAC). It earns fees for doing that, but some might view that obligation as a potential distraction since the fees only account for about 15% of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » Through the first nine months of 2025, Energy Transfer's distributable cash flow covered the distribution by a very comfortable 1.8 times. The MLP's leverage, while higher than some of its peers, isn't worrying, with a financial debt-to-EBITDA ratio of roughly 4.2. Looking ahead, Energy Transfer has $5.5 billion worth of capital investment projects on the books for 2026 alone. Management believes that it will support distribution growth of 3% to 5% during the year. That range is the long-term target, as Energy Transfer looks to become a more reliable income investment. There are very good reasons why you might want to buy Energy Transfer while it i...

Key Points Your net worth represents the total of your assets minus your debts. It doesn't necessarily represent spendable money. It's best to focus on your savings specifically in the course of your retirement planning. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook › When people talk about retirement planning, it's common to hear the term "net worth" tossed around. And it's natural to track your net worth with the hope of growing it over time. But if you want to set yourself up for a secure retirement, net worth isn't the figure you should be focusing on. Instead, you should focus on a completely different number -- your savings. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Why your savings are the true measure of retirement readiness To understand why you shouldn't focus on net worth in the course of retirement planning, it's important to understand how that number is calculated. Your net worth is the total of your assets minus your debts. Let's say you have the following assets: A home worth $500,000 An emergency fund of $50,000 A retirement account with a $450,000 balance All told, that's $1 million in assets. If you also owe $200,000 on your mortgage, your net worth is $800,000. The reason you shouldn't use your net worth to measure your retirement readiness is simple. Not every asset of yours becomes spendable cash in retirement. Take your home, for instance. You might have $300,000 worth of equity in it. But unless you sell that home or borrow against it, you don't have a way to convert that equity into money you can use to pay bills. Accounts like IRAs, 401(k)s, and brokerages, on the other hand, can be used to fund your retirement. You can cash out investments for money or spend the dividend or interest payments you receive. Similarly, any money you have in a savings account is money that can help pay for your retirement. That's why it's these acc...

There is clear evidence to back up the Hearts' camp's view they ought to have taken a third league win over Celtic this season. They had more shots, more efforts on target - and their expected goals rating was higher too - and they had 31 touches in Celtic's box compared to just 13 for the champions at the other end. Celtic had just 45% of possession - a remarkable statistic for a club used to monopolising the ball and titles in Scotland in the last 15 years. Kasper Schmeichel pulled off two fine saves to deny Alexandros Kyziridis and Braga, and crucially Hearts made set-pieces count again. Including throw-ins, Hearts have scored 18 times from set-pieces in the league this season, four more than any other side. Stuart Findlay's back-post header and Braga's finish, which came from Oisin McEntee's knockdown after a Harry Milne free-kick, got them the draw. "On chances created and overall territory, it felt like we were the better team and were the more likely to win it," McInnes told BBC Scotland. "It was a great free-kick by Celtic to take the lead, but we gathered ourselves well. "The game played out the way we wanted. We unsettled Celtic, but we missed chances. "We are a wee bit disappointed that we did not take all three points. Most teams would have been happy with a point against a team like Celtic, but we rattled them. "Not often you see Celtic time-wasting and trying to run down the clock. It shows the character to dig out a point without key players."
