The Bull Case for SPY, Long-Term
The market lacks momentum in the short term. But it looks fine long-term based on the powerful weekly chart. Sami explains: Why SPY is a good long-term investment Why he is bullish on China, and his favorite names in the sector A high-dividend payer that can be held for months or even years Where IBIT can go in the next few weeks 1 short idea that had a very bearish gap down Why Zim (ZIM) can rally 30%+ And more!

We just closed out the first full trading week of the year, featuring new all-time highs, a crappy jobs report, and the Supreme Court failing to render a decision on President Trump’s tariffs. But we’re here with the 5 charts you need to see right now, covering Uranium, Nvidia (NVDA), and MORE! 1. Uranium Is Shocking the World… Again The Global X Uranium ETF (URA) is now up 18% YTD vs. +1.4% for $SPY. That’s after URA surged 67% last year. The latest catalyst was Meta (META) signing nuclear power deals with Vistra (VST) and Oklo (OKLO), plus the Bill Gates-backed TerraPower. This is a fascinating point in the AI cycle. Because it’s uncertain how long Nvidia (NVDA) can dominate chip performance. But it seems 100% certain that AI is sucking up a lot of electricity. And insider the uranium mining complex specifically, there is just not a lot of supply in terms of stocks to buy. Look at the market caps of the better-known uranium companies: Cameco (CCJ): $46 billion Uranium Energy (UEC): $7.1 billion Energy Fuels (UUUU): $4.3 billion Denison Mining (DNN): $2.9 billion And the URA ETF itself has just $6.3 billion in assets. 2. Nvidia: Value Stock? Traders and investors are increasingly focused on the skyrocketing “second-order” AI stocks in areas like nuclear power and memory. Former AI Kingpin Nvidia (NVDA) feels left behind to the point where it looks like a value stock, even though its earnings winning streak shows no sign of slowing. It’s trading at just 26.6 times forward earnings. Meanwhile, Costco (COST) trades at 45 times earnings. Meanwhile, Nvidia is expected to grow earnings by 57% this year. For Costco, it’s 11%. 3. Apple’s Big Oversold Signal Apple (AAPL) is the second most oversold stock in the Nasdaq 100/QQQ, based on RSI: That reading is nearing the April 2025 lows after the Liberation Day selloff. Traders are worried about a myriad of issues including a China slowdown, skyrocketing memory costs, and Tim Cook possibly slowing down. There’s always chatter about the company being behind in AI… but how many people are dropping Apple devices over that? I mean, I can use ChatGPT and Gemini and Grok and whatever else on my iPhone. Right? With the stock this oversold and the chatter so negative, perhaps it’s time for a bounce. And the one QQQ stock more oversold than Apple (AAPL)? It’s Netflix (NFLX), which has been beaten down because of the Warner Brothers acquisition drama. 4. PayPal Is Sitting on Major Support PayPay (PYPL) can be one of the most frustrating stocks in the market. It operates in two modes: High-speed uptrend Value trap disaster And now it’s sitting on major support around $57, which is above the 2023 low around $50. Could there be $7 of risk down, and $30 up? At less than 11 times forward earnings, this is one stock we have to watch. 5. OIH Is the ETF to Watch Following President Trump’s presumed takeover of the Venezuela oil industry, the VanEck Oil Services ETF (OIH) is the ETF to watch. Because the companies in the OIH make the equipment and technology that gets oil out of the ground. And you have to think these companies are about to land some big fat contracts. On Monday, OIH made the “Gap of the Year” on the Venezuela news. And that gap held:

On December 30, we shared David Prince’s 2026 Trading Strategy. In that outlook, David made predictions about several names and sectors for this year – and many of his expectations are already coming to fruition. So let’s review 5 of those calls and how they’ve panned out so far just one full trading week into the New Year. 1. Rocket Blasts Off David Prince named Rocket Companies (RKT) his “favorite rates play”. He said the stock is a “must-own long-term and expect it to be above $30 by year-end.” And President Trump provided a gift for the sector on Thursday, January 8. In a Truth Social post, Trump said he was instructing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to buy $200 billion worth of mortgage bonds to lower rates. And that sent RKT flying: The stock is up 20% YTD with over 10% of that move happening just on Friday. David has previously called this company a “one-stop shop” for every step in the home buying or selling process. 2. Flying Taxis in Vogue David predicted 2026 will be the year we start to see real progress in the eVTOL AKA “Flying Taxis” space. He picked Joby Aviation (JOBY), Vertical Aerospace (EVTL), and Archer Aviation (ACHR) as his “favorite names in the group”. So how have those names performed so far this year? Take a look: Since December 31, EVTL is up 24.3%, JOBY is up 17.9%, and ACHR is up 17.2%. These names have far outperformed the broader tech sector with QQQ up just 2.1% in the same timeframe. And David even gave us a tip for the future in this space, saying he will be a buyer of Anduril when it goes public and he plans “to hold it for a decade”. 3. Tesla Offers a Better Entry In his note, David said about Tesla (TSLA), “there should be a better entry in 2026.” And in the first week of the year, Tesla did exactly what David was looking for. The stock closed at $449.72 on December 31 and then pulled back to hit a low of $438.37 on January 7: That set up the stock for an 11+ point bounce in two days and David himself was buying on the pullback. For the long-term, he still sees some challenges ahead for this name. In his note, David said, “Tesla is really a bet on Elon and the narratives, not the P/E or car demand. Unless we see more progress in Optimus & FSD, I’d expect it to see $400 again.” 4. Immunome is Just Getting Started Immunome (IMNM) was a huge winner for David and the Inner Circle VTF® in 2025. And in his end of year note, he told us it was just getting started. The name gave traders a buying opportunity to kickoff the year, pulling back to a low of $19.33 on January 5: From there, IMNM rallied 13.8% to hit a high of $22.01 on January 9. David believes in the future of this company, predicting a “40-50% gain in 2026”. 5. Cannabis Provides Opportunity David called out the Cannabis sector as one where he sees strong upside this year “with a more industry-friendly President”. The ticker he focuses on for this trade is the AdvisorShares Pure US Cannabis ETF (MSOS) Here’s what that trade has looked like so far this year: MSOS bottomed at $4.45 on January 6 before rallying to a high of $4.81 on January 8. That’s an 8.1% move in 2 sessions. David says he sees “50% upside in MSOS on the low end” in 2026. How will the rest of his picks for 2026 pan out? We’ll have to wait and see.

Continue Reading -->All Hail the AI King
It’s 2026. So let’s dig into the hot stories we’re watching for the New Year. 1. All Hail the AI King Two weeks ago, I declared memory giant Micron (MU) “the new AI champion” courtesy of its shocking guidance. It’s up almost 20% since then with a big fat gain to start 2026. And of course, I don’t own it. Micron wasn’t the only winner on the memory/storage side of the AI trade today. Sandisk (SNDK), Western Digital (WDC), and Lam Research (LRCX), all big winners last year, also posted huge gains today. Now let’s talk about the the other secondary AI trade. 2. Uranium Is Going Wild, and Nobody’s In It The Global X Uranium ETF (URA) had a monster gain in 2025, and rose over 7% today. The bull market case here is very simple. The world is becoming more nuclear friendly, and AI is driving record demand for electricity. And you can’t have nuclear power without uranium. But the most interesting thing about uranium is how little money appears to be invested in it. The #1 company in the industry, Cameco (CCJ), has a market cap of just $42.9 billion. The URA ETF has just $5.3 billion in assets. And the Sprott Uranium Miners ETF (URNM) has $1.7 billion in assets. For comparison, the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) has $37.3 billion in assets. 3. You People Love Tesla We recently surveyed the T3 Live community and asked what your favorite stock was. The #1 name across the board was Tesla (TSLA), which had a stinky day after reporting weak delivery numbers. Alphabet (GOOGL) was in second place, but it wasn’t even close. We also asked traders which IPO they were most excited about: OpenAI, SpaceX, or Anthropic. Elon Musk’s SpaceX was the overwhelming favorite at 65.8%. OpenAI was in second at 27.6%. Just 3.9% chose Anthropic. So the Cult of Elon is not going anywhere. And you can count me in that camp because I’m still long Tesla. 4. Traders and Investors Are Bullish Traders are investors to start the New Year. In our own survey, 82.9% of respondents said the S&P 500 will rise in 2026. And AAII’s Sentiment Survey showed that 42.0% of investors are bullish on stocks for the next 6 months: This was the fourth bullish reading in the past 5 weeks. 5. If You Believe in Crypto Miracles… Look at This As we told you two weeks ago, short interest on crypto-related equities like Strategy (MSTR) and Bitmine Immersion Technology (BMNR) is sky-high. All of these names put in big gains today, with Bitmine leading the way. If you are bullish on crypto, you better put these names on the radar because we will see some wild short squeezes. 6. XLE Has Been Waking Up If you watch the energy sector long enough, you’re at risk of falling asleep. But… it’s getting less boring. As you can see in this weekly chart, XLE has been in a slow-motion uptrend since April and it’s about to bang up against resistance around $47: Keep an eye on it. This could be the next big sector to run. 7. Earnings Expectations Are High According to FactSet, Q4 earnings estimates rose 0.4% throughout last quarter. That bucks the typical pattern of estimates declining by 1.6%. Analysts now expect 13.1% earnings growth in Q1. The tech sector has seen the largest increase in estimates, which is no surprise because the big boys like Nvidia (NVDA) and Amazon (AMZN) have dropped one beat after another. So the bar is higher than we’ve seen in recent quarters. And the higher the bar, the harder it is to get those big beats. 8.

Continue Reading -->Your 2 Favorite Stocks: 1 Cult Name, 1 AI Surprise
T3 Live recently held a community stock market survey to figure out what you think will happen in 2026. While this might not be the most scientific survey in the world, we think the results are interesting. Here’s what we saw: Traders Are Bullish, Especially on Tech The market is coming off its third straight year of big gains, and our audience expects the good times to roll. 82.9% of respondents believe the S&P 500 will rise in 2026. As far as which index will do best, traders are leaning towards the Nasdaq. 32.6% of respondents said the Nasdaq will have the highest percentage gain in 2026, followed by 32.5% favoring the Russell 2000. However, traders do expect at least one pullback. 56.6% said they expect at least one 20% SPX drawdown in 2026. The Stocks People Like for 2026 When asked to name their favorite stocks for next year, Tesla (TSLA) came up by far the most often. Alphabet (GOOGL) came in second place, but it was not even close. So the cult of Elon Musk is as alive as ever, which relates to the IPO everyone is waiting for. (more on this below) We also asked which Mag 7 stock would do best in 2026, and here’s how the distribution played out: Alphabet (GOOGL): 30.3% Tesla (TSLA): 27.6% Amazon (AMZN): 18.4% Nvidia (NVDA): 13.2% Apple (AAPL): 5.3% Microsoft (MSFT): 3.9% Meta Platforms (META): 1.3% Why is GOOGL on top? Two reasons. First, it’s the #1 Mag 7 name this year with a 66% gain: Second, it emerged as a surprise AI powerhouse thanks to its homemade TPU chips. But it’s interesting that so few people like META. Could that be the ultimate contrarian play? It’s by far the cheapest name on a valuation basis: A Look at Sector Preferences We asked which sectors would do best and worst in 2026, and we’ll list the top 5 in each category: We’ll start with the 5 favorites: Tech: 26.7% Energy: 17.3% Gold/Silver: 16.0% Biotech: 9.3% Financials: 8.0% With traders favoring the Nasdaq for 2026, it’s no surprise tech is on top. And gold/silver and biotech have been on fire. So the most interesting finding here is the love for Energy, even though it’s been a major laggard in 2026: And here are the sectors people think will do worst: Housing: 18.2% Real Estate: 15.6% Tech: 14.3% Crypto: 14.3% Gold/Silver: 10.4% The dominance of Housing and Real Estate here implies traders see economic troubles ahead. You likely noticed that Tech and Gold/Silver are on both lists. It makes sense because tech is the biggest part of the market so it always gets attention. Plus, Gold/Silver have gotten tons of attention in 2026, and people tend to have strong opinions on metals. Thoughts on the Fed 59.2% of respondents believe Kevin Hassett will be the next Fed Chair. 19.7% see Christopher Waller taking the spot, and 18.3% went with Kevin Warsh. As far as rates go, 100% expect rate cuts in 2026. 38.7% expect 0.50% in cuts, with 22.7% expecting 0.75%, and 14.7% expecting a full 1.00% in cuts. What Will Move Stocks in 2026? We asked our community to rank these factors based on their expected impact on the US stock market: Fed Policy Inflation US Government Policy Geopolitical Conflicts Corporate Earnings There were no real standouts here. Traders ranked these factors pretty much the same across the board. So it’s hard to point to one single narrative that people are grasping onto. The market is torn on what matters most. Everyone Wants SpaceX We asked traders which IPO they were most excited about: OpenAI, SpaceX, or Anthropic. SpaceX was the overwhelming favorite at 65.8%. OpenAI was in second at 27.6%. Just 3.9% chose Anthropic. To Recap… Here are the biggest takeaways: Traders are bullish, especially on tech Housing and Real Estate are hated The cult of Elon Musk and Tesla (TSLA) is as strong as ever Meta (META) is a contrarian play to watch The market is torn on the biggest drivers of 2026 Happy New Year Folks!

Continue Reading -->This Is the New AI Champion
We’re coming off another week of fun market action marked by a light CPI report, a massive surge for Tesla (TSLA), and a newly crowed King of AI. So let’s dig in to the 10 things you need to know about markets right now. 1. Micron (MU) Is Your New AI Champion Nvidia (NVDA) had its time in the sun. Then Oracle (ORCL) and Alphabet (GOOGL) took the reins. But memory giant Micron (MU) became the new AI champion after reporting strong earnings on Wednesday along with shocking guidance. Earnings estimates went through the roof. Analysts now expect EPS of $19.61 this year, up from $12.77 pre-earnings. That’s an increase of 53%. And since estimates went up so much, its forward P/E is now at 7: Many folks are wondering why it trades at such a cheap valuation. First, single-digit P/E ratios for Micron are nothing new. And second, the memory market is extremely cyclical, so there’s always the question of when peak earnings happen. Because at some point, earnings estimates can contract just as fast. But good luck trying to figure out when, because the AI industry is sucking up memory like nothing we’ve seen before. 2. Oracle Played the Best Possible Card We’ve talked for weeks about Oracle’s (ORCL) meltdown on worries over its debt load and the sustainability of the AI growth cycle. But it surged big-time on Friday on news TikTok would sell its US operations to an Oracle-led joint venture. So for now, the market’s assuming the financial benefits of the TikTok investment offset concerns about the strength of Oracle’s AI business – particularly, the dependence upon OpenAI. This may have been the best possible card to play because of TikTok’s growth potential. 3. OpenAI May Be Worth More Than These Companies This week, we heard a string of news reports saying OpenAI is in talks to raise a whole ton of capital, which it needs to pay off its obligations to Oracle (ORCL). A Wall Street Journal report said this latest funding round could value OpenAI at $830 billion. That would make OpenAI worth more than Oracle itself, along with: Visa (V) Mastercard (MA) Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) ExxonMobil (XOM) Palantir (PLTR) Netflix (NFLX) Bank of America (BAC) Costco (COST) Home Depot (HD) AMD (AMD) And plenty of other household names. At some point, OpenAI will come public. The tough part will be timing because who knows how far it will be in its growth cycle by then? The way things are going, OpenAI could IPO at a multi-trillion dollar valuation! 4. Biotech Is the Quiet Crusher Traders waited for years for Biotech to play catch-up to the major averages. And 2025’s been a banner year for XBI. Over the past 6 months, XBI has risen over 48%, crushing SPY and QQQ: Lower rates certainly helped, as did strong M&A activity and successful clinical trials. There may also be a simple catch-up factor here. If we take the same chart and wind it back 10 years, XBI is miles behind: 5. Coinbase Is Coming for Robinhood This week, crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN) announced it’s beefing up its offerings by adding stock trading and prediction markets to its feature stack. Coinbase wants to be a one-stop financial app, which makes sense given its reliance upon the ever-volatile crypto markets. With Bitcoin and Ethereum well off their October highs, Coinbase stock is down -2.4% year-to-date. More equities-focused competitors like Robinhood (HOOD), Interactive Brokers (IBKR), and Charles Schwab (SCHW) are up huge: Since we’re talking about the crypto mess, let’s take a look at the ETF leaderboard: 6. Bitcoin and Ethereum Are Way Behind I don’t know about you, but I don’t see how these four things can be true at once: The Fed is cutting rates SMH is up 48% YTD XBI is up 37% YTD Bitcoin and Ethereum are down YTD Yet the numbers don’t lie: If you can explain this, I’m all ears. But if crypto is about to make a comeback, it will probably be vicious – especially on the equity side. 7. Crypto Stock Short Interest Is Sky-High Short interest is high across the board on crypto-related equities like Strategy (MSTR) and Bitmine Immersion Technology (BMNR): Now, I’m not interested in playing with this dynamite myself just yet. But if you are bullish on crypto, you have to think we see some epic short squeezes in these names. Who knows? Maybe Tom Lee and Michael Saylor, and their followers, will be rewarded for their bullishness in the end. 8. Tesla’s Comeback Has Been Stunning Tesla (TSLA) hit a record high at $495.28 Wednesday to break its prior record high from last December. That put it up 131% from the April lows to reward the faithful: Tesla’s latest catalyst was Robotaxi hype. And investors once again forgave this company’s unique combo of high valuation and questionable fundamentals. Meanwhile, analysts are still rolling their eyes at the stock. Their average target price is just $395.73: 9. Nike Has Some Bizarre Stats Shoemaker Nike (NKE) got smashed Friday after earnings. But here’s the wild thing about Nike. It’s actually beaten earnings estimates for 10 straight quarters. And the average upside surprise was 37.4%: Of course, the problem is that Nike’s actual earnings are shrinking. So it’s dropping huge earnings beats, but no actual growth. Weird. 10. JR Is Behind Reddit On Wednesday, JR Romero laid out the bull case for Reddit (RDDT). And it’s already started creeping up. See why he likes this stock so much;
