Over 80% Of Young Adults Believe Economy Is 'Bad/Terrible' And We're Seeing The Consequences All Over America Authored by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog, Decades of economic decline have brought this country to a breaking point. The vast majority of the population is barely scraping by from month to month as prices continue to rise, thousands of stores and restaurants close, foreclosures spike to alarming levels and the middle class continues to shrink. Now the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz threatens to make things a whole lot worse, and a lot of people are justifiably concerned about what this will mean for their futures. Our young adults are being hit particularly hard. If you purchased a home 20 or 30 years ago, you are insulated from what is really going on out there. Housing costs are more unaffordable than ever, and many young people have completely given up on the dream of homeownership. Meanwhile, the employment market has gotten very tight, and this is especially true for entry-level jobs. Do you know anyone under the age of 40 that is doing really well in this economy? Yes, there are some exceptions, but in general our young adults are really struggling. As a result, homelessness is at record levels and hordes of drug addicts are roaming the streets of our major cities. If you doubt this, just check out this video that shows what has happened to the once great city of Los Angeles. It was once a playground for the rich and famous, but now it has been transformed into a rotting, decaying hellhole. It is undeniable that most of our young adults hate this economy. In fact, a new survey that was just released found that a whopping 84 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 believe that economic conditions in the U.S. are either “bad” or “terrible” … A recent survey by Generation Lab found that more than 8 in 10 young adults rate economic conditions in the U.S. as either bad or terrible. The survey, conducted April 26-29, found that 55...

J Studios/DigitalVision via Getty Images Introduction One of the victims of the “SaaSapocalypse” I discussed so many times in my articles here, on Seeking Alpha, is Okta, Inc.

J Studios/DigitalVision via Getty Images Introduction One of the victims of the “SaaSapocalypse” I discussed so many times in my articles here, on Seeking Alpha, is Okta, Inc. ( OKTA ), which, in my opinion, is way oversold and underappreciated. I said as much in my previous article about this stock, in which I gave it a Buy rating, and bought the stock myself. The bad news is that it is down by 15% while the S&P 500 ( SP500 ) is up by 10%, so obviously, I could have done way better with the money I’ve put in Okta. On the other hand, I still like the company, and I think it could enter a renaissance era with its Agentic AI initiatives. Analysis Okta has been one of the first cybersecurity stocks I’ve broken down, but since then, I've gotten quite interested in this segment of the market, as most companies there are down even more than the software industry. It is due to various news from the main AI developers, like Anthropic ( ANTHRO ), which tried to claim it will disrupt the market for native cyber companies. I largely focus on AI development, and follow the news there closely, and I have a whole article discussing where AI-agents can “steal” customers from cyber, and where they can power the growth. If you are a cybersecurity investor, I suggest reading it, as it may shed light on what’s going on in this hard-to-comprehend industry. Returning to Okta, I believe the direction in which this company is growing could prove to be in high demand as soon as AI agents are widely adopted, and given the unique positioning of Okta, it can capture that market fast. But let’s start from the beginning, so my phrases don’t sound too generic, and we all get on the same page about what is the direction and where the opportunity is coming from. Okta in 2026 Okta is an identity management and access management company that ensures all of the parts of the company (workers, customers, software, etc.) have the right level of security access to applications and data. Before the AI age...

akinbostanci/E+ via Getty Images My bullish view on Celldex ( CLDX ) stems from my belief that the company continues to be viewed by the investment community solely as a company with a single indication (chronic urticaria), when the real asset is a potentially reusable mast-cell depletion platform. In the biotech space, investors typically evaluate companies based on their ability to develop drugs that can beat placebo and get approved. While this is clearly a crucial factor, in the case of Celldex, I believe the far more relevant consideration is whether barzolvolimab can create a new category of therapy for diseases where mast cells are not merely one contributor, but the central operating node of the disease. Barzolvolimab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to KIT, a receptor essential to mast-cell function and survival. Mast cells are central to chronic urticarias, and Celldex is currently evaluating barzolvolimab in studies designed to evaluate its effectiveness in patients suffering from various forms of chronic spontaneous urticaria (including CSU), cold-induced urticaria, symptomatic dermographism, prurigo nodularis, and atopic dermatitis. Celldex is also advancing CDX-622, a bispecific antibody directed against TSLP and SCF, into early clinical work. Therefore, I see Celldex as a company attempting to build an immunology franchise around mast-cell biology and not simply as another injectable treatment option for hives. Latest Financials and Runway Celldex remains a clinical-stage company, so the income statement should not be analyzed in the same manner as that of a commercial healthcare company. The key question is how much money Celldex has available to finish the Phase 3 trials for barzolvolimab, file a BLA and avoid needing to raise additional funds from a position of weakness. The level of spending, or cash burn, is far more relevant. R&D expense increased dramatically during 2025. Specifically, the Company spent $75.3 million on R&D in Q4/2...
