spawns/E+ via Getty Images Prediction market traders remain skeptical that Sam Bankman-Fried will receive a presidential pardon from the White House, even after the former FTX CEO officially submitted a pardon application following his fraud conviction. According to Polymarket data, traders currently assign roughly a 7% chance that Bankman-Fried will be released from custody in 2026. Separate Polymarket contracts tracking who President Donald Trump could pardon before 2027 show Bankman-Fried with around a 15% probability of receiving clemency, placing him below figures such as Steve Bannon, Hunter Biden, and former Sen. Bob Menendez. The prediction markets reacted after reports surfaced that Bankman-Fried had formally sought a pardon from the White House. Fox Business reported Monday that the former crypto executive submitted an application requesting clemency after serving his sentence. In a phone interview with the network, Bankman-Fried maintained that he did not steal customer funds and argued that FTX customers were ultimately repaid. Bankman-Fried was sentenced to 25 years in prison in 2024 after being convicted on seven counts of fraud tied to the collapse of crypto exchange FTX in November 2022. He has appealed the conviction. Despite growing speculation within crypto circles, Polymarket traders appear unconvinced that a pardon is imminent. President Trump previously stated that he was not considering clemency for Bankman-Fried, though the administration has taken a significantly more crypto-friendly stance during Trump’s second term. The SEC has dropped several investigations and lawsuits involving crypto firms, including cases tied to Coinbase Global ( COIN ) and Robinhood Markets ( HOOD ). Trump also previously pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao after Zhao pleaded guilty to anti-money laundering violations and served a four-month prison sentence, fueling further debate over whether Bankman-Fried could eventually receive similar treatment. Still, pred...

With shares up by an eye-popping 981% over the past 12 months, Western Digital (NASDAQ: WDC) is one of Wall Street's latest darlings in the generative artificial intelligence (AI) megatrend. The company is benefiting from the surging demand for its high-capacity computer memory and storage hardware needed to help clients train and operate large language models (LLMs). The factors that led to Western Digital's explosive rally are still in play. But it's hard to not get nervous when looking at a stock chart that has gone practically vertical. Let's explore the pros and cons of the company to decide if it is still a good buy or if investors should take profits and run. Since its founding in 1970, California-based Western Digital has grown to become a major supplier of consumer and enterprise data storage solutions like hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid state drives (SSDs).

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Broadcom's ( AVGO ) latest earnings report created an interesting disconnect between its fundamentals and price action. The company delivered another quarter of accelerating growth, mainly driven by AI; it issued guidance that points to even sharper QoQ growth in revenue and reiterated its fiscal 2027 AI semiconductor revenue target. The sell-off that followed the earnings results did not reflect deteriorating fundamentals but a combination of aggressive positioning and a slight revenue miss. On the contrary, the results/guidance point to a weakening in the bear case that consists of a few key risks. Back when I initiated coverage on April 30, I assigned a strong buy rating on Broadcom, pointing to the potential for growth both in the short and the long term. Since then, the stock has underperformed the market by a meaningful margin. Seeking Alpha As you can see from the chart below, the shares mostly trended sideways in May, and then by the end of the month, they started trending upward. In fact, from the price level at which the shares are trading right now, they initially went up by 17.5% to an all-time high of around $495, and then they fell by 22% to approximately $385 in just two days after the earnings results were released. Now the price is below the 50-day moving average, represented by the middle blue line, something that hasn't happened in over two months. Note: The last trading session's price action is highly correlated with the jobs report released on the same day. Shareholders and investors need to consider this so they can better isolate the earnings reaction. The gap between the pre-earnings trading session and the post-earnings session best reflects the digestion of the release here. TrendSpider What was so bad about the earnings results anyway? Well, nothing obvious. They were overwhelmingly encouraging, and guidance also strengthened the case for accelerating growth. Let's take a look. In the second qua...

Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News Following a sharp selloff in U.S. semiconductor ( SMH ) ( SOX ) stocks, Nvidia ( NVDA ) CEO Jensen Huang turned heads by channeling his inner Warren Buffett, encouraging investors to view the market pullback as a rare buying opportunity. However, when a technology chief executive begins playing the role of a market oracle, retail investors react with a stark mix of enthusiasm and deep skepticism. For many Nvidia ( NVDA ) bulls, his reassuring outlook was a clear signal to double down. Seeking Alpha user Alpha With BitTech declared it was "Buying semis hand over fist!" with tens of thousands of dollars deployed across ( SNDK) , ( LITE) , ( AVGO) , ( NVDA) , ( DELL)" in the wake of Friday's correction. "Tech is indestructible," it argued. Another defender, M.Pizzini, praised Huang as a "really impressive CEO" who "knows his business at the ground level and the 30,000 ft level." Meanwhile, GRLong urged critics to consider the context, noting, "What's missing from the article is that this was a response to a direct question from a reporter. So, judging by the comments here, he should just respond 'no comment' and crater the entire market." Conversely, a vocal contingent of market watchers expressed immediate concern over the CEO's rhetoric. User NorthZorro wrote , "When a great businessman starts to make comments about stock prices, it gives me pause," a sentiment echoed by kiedys_bylem_mlodszy, who noted that "CEOs commenting stock prices is never a good thing..." Others were far less diplomatic, with mikejack stating , "He sounds like a used car salesman!" while CoffeeShopLover warned peers to "discount what he says accordingly," noting that Huang "has every reason to hype the industry." Ultimately, whether the market views Huang as a visionary guide through the AI revolution or simply a executive talking up his own book remains an open question. One thing is certain: his words move markets, and retail investors are hanging on every s...
