Today in the Markets
Nvidia’s B30A chip for China — an AI product Reuters says could be sampled as soon as next month — has already become a political football. U.S. export controls may shave a few percent off Nvidia’s share price, but long‑term investors should remember the company’s moat comes from its software and ecosystem, not from this week’s Washington drama.
U.S. stocks have had a rough week. On Wednesday the S&P 500 fell 0.2% and the Nasdaq 0.7%, extending a tech‑led losing streak. Investors are waiting to see whether Fed chair Jerome Powell signals rate cuts at Jackson Hole. In the meantime Apple, Amazon and Tesla all slid by roughly 2%. These daily swings are distracting; they don’t change the long‑term case for innovative companies with strong cash flows.
Other corporate headlines added to the noise. SoftBank’s $2 billion investment in Intel sent the chipmaker’s stock on a roller coaster, while Palantir and Target both sold off despite record revenue growth and solid earnings. Such volatility illustrates why investors shouldn’t anchor to single‑day reactions; what matters is whether a company can defend margins and grow over the next decade.

Stock in the News: GenZ Stock Analysis of Palantir: "Holy moley dude! PLTR is getting absolutely REKT right now! 🔥💀
Look at this carnage:
Down from $186.97 on Aug 12 to $154.74 today - that's -17.2% in just 9 trading days!
Lost over $15 billion in market cap (currently at $370B)
What's Going Down:
The Bad News Storm 🌪:
Citron Research went full bear mode - these mothers are saying PLTR should be worth $40! They're comparing it to PLTR vs Databricks and basically saying "You retards are paying Tesla prices for a Honda"
Valuation Reality Check - Even Dan Ives (who's usually bullish AF on everything tech) is calling this a "healthy pullback" but admits the stock was getting stupid expensive
MIT Report questioning if AI is actually profitable -這些academic nerds are basically saying "maybe AI stocks are all hype"
The Options Action is WILD 🎰:
Massive PUT buying! Look at all those $140-$150 puts expiring Friday
Some degenerate bought $1.8M worth of June 2027 $130 calls - either genius or absolutely regarded
Heavy unusual activity shows institutions dumping this thing
Smart Money Update:
Nancy Pelosi made bank on Databricks (PLTR's competitor) hitting $100B valuation
Cathie Wood probably crying into her ARKK fund as PLTR drags it down
This is classic WSB energy - stock runs up 160% since Trump got back in office, everyone gets euphoric, then reality hits like a freight train!
Check if this is a buying opportunity or dead cat bounce
This might be prime YOLO territory or a complete trap! 🚀📉"

Stock in the News: Walmart (NOT one we own - our stocks are on the Private Channel)
Today’s reaction is a dip, not a thesis. Here are the facts so you don’t chase headlines.
Price (09:56 ET): ~$97.66, about -4.8% on the session
Q2 FY26 (reported premarket): EPS $0.68 vs $0.74 est (miss ~8%); Sales $177.4B vs $176.2B est (beat); U.S. comps ex-fuel +4.6%, Sam’s +5.9%
Guidance: FY26 adj. EPS raised to $2.52–$2.62 (mid ~$2.57). Sales guide raised
Management color: tariff-related costs rising into Q3–Q4; lower/middle-income consumers under pressure
Snapshot
What matters
Quality moat, scale, and omni-channel execution remain intact. U.S. comps solid; membership/club momentum helps.
Headwinds: tariffs compressing margin, consumer mix skewing value, and competitive grocery pricing (Amazon et al.).
The stock isn’t “cheap” on guide (~38x forward EPS). You are paying up for durability.

Today in the Markets: Wall Street roared back once the Jackson Hole speech dropped. At the open, the Dow surged nearly 1½%, the S&P 500 jumped 1.4% and the Nasdaq rose about 1.7% after Jerome Powell acknowledged the economy is cooling and said a September rate cut is “on the table,” while stressing that jobs and inflation data will drive the final call. In other words, the Fed will do what the Fed always does: watch the numbers and hedge its bets.
Rate‑sensitive real‑estate stocks and consumer discretionary names led the rebound; chip stocks jumped almost 4% and Tesla leapt more than 5%. Traders now assign a roughly 90% chance to a September cut and the S&P looks set to snap its five‑day losing streak. This enthusiasm underscores how desperate investors can be for a dovish hint—even as corporate earnings and cash flows matter far more in the long run.
Earlier, Europe’s STOXX 600 climbed on hopes of a Ukraine peace deal, though defence names slipped as traders took profits. Oil and bond yields eased on speculation that sanctions might be lifted if talks progress. Markets are reading every geopolitical ripple and Fed nuance, yet those ripples rarely determine whether a business thrives over a decade.
So take today’s rally for what it is: a relief bounce, not a secular turning point. Monetary policy will ebb and flow, tariffs and wars will dominate headlines, but the path to wealth still involves owning quality companies that compound earnings, diversify income streams and protect capital. Keep your eyes on that horizon rather than the Fed’s next comma.
