This phenomenon—siblings breaking all contact with siblings, adult children turning their backs on parents and grandparents, or vice versa—is growing, and growing fast.

The AI Career Trapdoor: Is Your Experience Becoming a Liability?
The AI Career Trapdoor
For twenty years, you’ve been the “go-to” person in the office. You know where the bodies are buried, how to navigate the messy politics, and exactly how to fix a failing project. But in early 2026, a new shadow has emerged over the American corporate landscape: the AI Career Trapdoor.
It’s a deceptive phenomenon. On the surface, AI tools like Agentic Workflows are making your day easier by drafting emails and summarizing 50-page reports. But beneath the floorboards, these same tools are “de-skilling” the middle-management layer. Companies are increasingly using AI to flatten their structures, with reports suggesting that up to 50% of middle-management tasks are now being automated or reassigned to entry-level workers equipped with high-level AI “pilots.”
The Mid-Life Skill Squeeze
If you’re between 45 and 65, the threat isn’t just “losing your job”—it’s losing your leverage. The 2026 job market is seeing a “barbell” effect: high demand for young, cheap AI-natives and high demand for elite, strategic C-suite leaders. Those in the middle are finding the floor falling out from under them.
Hiring managers in 2026 are increasingly biased toward “AI-fluency,” with some surveys showing they are three times more likely to hire a candidate under 35 for AI-integrated roles. For the seasoned professional, your decades of experience are being treated as “legacy debt” rather than an asset. If your value is based on knowing the answer rather than directing the machine to find it, you’re standing on the trapdoor.
The “Un-Replaceable” Blueprint
The machines can mimic your output, but they can’t replicate your judgment. Here is your 3-step survival plan to lock the trapdoor shut:
1. Pivot from “Producer” to “Editor-in-Chief”: Stop trying to out-work the AI. Your new role is “Quality Control.” Use your 20 years of experience to spot the “hallucinations” and strategic errors that a 24-year-old with a prompt won’t see.
2. Master “Prompt Delegation”: Treat AI like a brilliant but literal-minded intern. Learn to brief the machine using the same nuance you’d use to manage a human team. This “Human-AI Hybrid” leadership is the highest-paid skill of 2026.
3. Invest in “Soft Moats”: Double down on the things code can’t do: high-stakes negotiation, office empathy, and complex ethics. In a world of perfect digital replicas, raw human connection has become a premium luxury good.
The Master Builder’s Edge
Think of a master carpenter in the age of power tools. A novice can buy the same high-speed saw, but they don’t have the “feel” for the wood or the vision for the finished house. The saw makes the novice faster, but it makes the master a force of nature.
In 2026, AI is just a faster saw. If you spend your time fighting the tool, you’ll get left behind. But if you pick it up and apply your two decades of vision, you’re not just an employee—you’re the architect. Are you still trying to out-saw the machine, or are you ready to build the whole house?

Trump’s Plumbing Bill (for America)
If you’re looking for the best place to invest $1,000 right now…
Forget about AI…
Forget about nuclear energy, quantum computing and crypto.
This dwarfs all of it… combined.
Here’s the story…
President Trump just signed this bill into law, forcing the immediate replacement of ALL the plumbing under our $382 trillion financial system.
Just like the plumbing under your house moves water, there’s plumbing under our economy that moves money. And right now America’s “financial plumbing” is 50 years old.
It’s slow, it’s clunky and it breaks all the time…
However, thanks to a breakthrough new technology that BlackRock CEO Larry Fink is calling “the next major evolution in market infrastructure”, there’s finally a replacement…
Insiders are calling it The New American Money Grid.
And thanks to this legal mandate that just left President Trump’s Desk…
Every financial asset in America MUST be moved onto this New American Money Grid by April 2027.
And once it’s in place, every transaction on the New American Money Grid will burn a scarce “Digital Fuel” and that’s what this new interview is about.
Getting you in on the ground floor of this little-known asset set to potentially EXPLODE as the trillions starts moving in the coming weeks.
Unfortunately major institutions like BlackRock, Fidelity and Grayscale are already backing up the truck, quietly positioning themselves before the news goes mainstream.
So you don’t have long to act.
That’s why we brought in legendary tech investor Andy Howard to provide the full details.

Affirm Is Expanding Buy Now, Pay Later Services for Rent Payments
By Jordan Chussler. Published: 1/26/2026.
Article Highlights
- Buy now, pay later services are booming in popularity, with a projected CAGR of 27% through 2033.
- BNPL provider Affirm is about to start offering its services for rent payments..
- Analysts believe the stock is trading around 25% lower than where it will be in a year from now.
Over the past month, financial stocks have been hit hard. Of the S&P 500’s 11 sectors, financials have been the worst performer, down 2.73%.
With full-year and Q4 2025 earnings season underway, the sector—which spans banks and investment firms to insurance companies, real estate and fintech firms—has delivered mixed results.
Trump’s Final Shocking Act Begins February 24 (Ad)
After signing more than 220 Executive Orders… more than any president in American history… Donald Trump is preparing for one final move.
On February 24th — I have every reason to believe he will sign his Final Executive Order.
When I say that it’s his FINAL executive order…Click here or below for this unbelievable story…
The big banks have been punished by the market despite generally beating earnings-per-share (EPS) expectations. Asset manager BlackRock (NYSE: BLK) posted an EPS beat and quarterly revenue growth of more than 23%, yet the stock is down over 2% since the report.
Smaller financial-services names have struggled as well, even after strong results. Online bank Ally Financial (NYSE: ALLY) reported record EPS growth, but its stock slid more than 3%.
Now, one prominent buy now, pay later (BNPL) operator—reporting on Feb. 5—is looking to shake up both the financial sector’s recent performance and its own industry in a way that could drive top-line growth.
While Big Banks Bring Valuation Concerns, BNPLs Could Be a Bright Spot
The rise of BNPL is hard to overstate. From vacations and fast food to electronics and groceries, its usage has surged in recent years.
Financial-services firm Empower estimates that 90 million Americans used BNPL in 2025, with particularly high adoption among Millennials and Gen Z — 48% and 44%, respectively.
Empower also found that:
- More than half of BNPL users are under 35, including the fastest-growing generation entering the workforce (Gen Z) and the largest living adult generation (Millennials).
- Monthly BNPL spending rose nearly 21%, from $201.60 in June 2024 to $243.90 in June 2025.
- Over half of Gen Z (55%) say BNPL helps them better manage their finances.
That popularity is expected to continue. Industry consultant Grand View Research forecasts the global BNPL market to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27% from 2025 to 2033, expanding from $9.5 billion in 2024 to more than $80 billion by 2033.
What BNPL companies sell is debt — and in 2026, demand for consumer credit remains strong.
Buy Now, Pay Later Is Coming for Your Rent
On Jan. 20, reports indicated that Affirm Holdings (NASDAQ: AFRM) will begin offering BNPL options for rent payments.
The fintech — one of the largest BNPL companies with a market cap near $24 billion — plans to let customers split their monthly rent into two equal payments instead of a single lump sum, at 0% interest and with no fees for the biweekly installments.
According to CBS News, the limited pilot will be offered through a partnership with New York-based Esusu, which reports consumer payment information to major credit agencies.
An Affirm representative said the company will underwrite every application and approve only those it believes can “responsibly afford to repay.” While not the first BNPL firm to test rent payments, Affirm could see notable top- and bottom-line benefits from the move, continuing a streak of earnings beats that dates back to Q2 2024.
When the company reported Q1 2026 earningson Nov. 6, 2025, it posted EPS of $0.23, easily topping analyst estimates of $0.11, with quarterly revenue up nearly 34% year-over-year. The move into rent payments could act as a near-term catalyst, even as a limited pilot.
What Wall Street Thinks About Affirm Holdings?
Since its January 2021 IPO, Affirm had not been profitable—until the last quarter of 2025, when the company reported net income of $59 million.
This improvement has been supported by a five-year average revenue growth rate of nearly 46%.
That performance drew analyst attention: 19 of the 29 analysts covering Affirm assign the stock a Buy rating.
By consensus, AFRM carries a Moderate Buy rating with an average 12-month price target of $89.17, suggesting roughly 25% upside. Institutional ownership is about average at just over 69%, though over the past 12 months outflows have exceeded inflows — $19.37 billion versus $3.91 billion.
After shares of AFRM gained more than 29% over the past year, many of those outflows may simply reflect investors taking profits.
Based on Affirm’s financial health, the stock has also been in the Green Zone for more than nine months, according to TradeSmith.
If the rent-payment pilot scales, it could meaningfully expand Affirm’s addressable market and act as a catalyst for further BNPL adoption — potentially helping both the company’s top line and the broader financial sector sentiment.

This Week’s Featured Story
5 Alternative Energy Stocks Riding the AI Power Crunch
By Ryan Hasson. Article Published: 1/26/2026.
At a Glance
- AI-driven electricity demand is fueling a power crunch, pushing alternative energy stocks into one of the market’s strongest momentum themes.
- Momentum spans the spectrum, from large-cap leaders like Bloom Energy to income plays like Clearway and high-risk innovators such as Amprius and Babcock.
- While valuations are elevated, the trends remain intact, with price action and capital flows signaling that investor enthusiasm is far from exhausted as AI adoption accelerates.
Several powerful market themes have already taken hold in 2026, producing outsized winners across multiple sectors. The memory chip cycle, for instance, has reignited explosive momentum in the sector this year, with names like SanDisk (NASDAQ: SNDK) picking up right where they left off last year. SanDisk is now the top-performing stock in the S&P 500, already up nearly 100% year-to-date.
Aerospace and defense have also been front and center. Stocks like Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) and FTAI Aviation (NASDAQ: FTAI) have delivered impressive double-digit gains early in the year as global defense spending and commercial aviation demand remain elevated.
A Message From An Ex-CIA Officer About Trump (Ad)
The mainstream media – and very few Americans know anything about this.
I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t come forward and explain what’s happening.
I believe this will make history.Please take a moment to watch my interview now.
But while those two sectors have captured most of the headlines, another area of the market has been building momentum of its own: alternative energy.
A growing group of alternative energy stocks has begun to outperform the broader market, supported by a powerful and increasingly unavoidable narrative: the rapid acceleration of electricity demand driven by artificial intelligence.
AI Is Creating a Power Crunch
Momentum in alternative energy stocks didn’t start this year. It began to build during the second half of last year, when investors started to appreciate just how power-intensive artificial intelligence really is.
AI data centers are massive consumers of electricity. As hyperscalers race to expand capacity and as companies reshore manufacturing operations back to the U.S., electricity demand is rising far faster than legacy infrastructure was designed to handle. The result is an emerging power crunch.
Unlike prior energy cycles, this demand surge is not being met by a single favored source. Instead, all sources are needed — traditional generation, renewables, nuclear, hydrogen, battery storage and distributed on-site power solutions. That reality has created a unique setup for alternative energy companies operating across infrastructure, storage and next-generation power technologies.
As a result, several alternative energy stocks have developed strong upside momentum, significantly outperforming the market over the past year and continuing to lead in early 2026.
Here are five alternative energy stocks experiencing impressive momentum that traders and investors should have on their radar.
Bloom Energy: The Standout Momentum Leader
Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE) has firmly established itself as one of the most powerful momentum names in the alternative energy space. Following triple-digit gains in 2025, shares have surged another 67% already in 2026, pushing the stock’s one-year return to an eye-catching 467%. Bloom Energy now carries a market capitalization of $34.2 billion.
Bloom develops solid-oxide fuel cell systems for on-site power generation. These systems convert natural gas, biogas or hydrogen into electricity with lower carbon emissions and high reliability. The company’s flagship product, the Bloom Energy Server, offers enterprises a grid-independent power solution — an increasingly valuable proposition as grid strain and reliability concerns grow.
Fundamentally, the company’s execution has helped justify the market’s enthusiasm. In its Q3 2025 earnings report, Bloom posted EPS of $0.15, beating consensus estimates of $0.08 by a wide margin. Revenue surged 57.1% year-over-year to $519.05 million, also well above expectations.
Looking ahead, Bloom was scheduled to report Q4 earnings on February 5. Analysts expected EPS of $0.31, down year over year due to higher investment spending, while revenue was projected to rise about 13% to roughly $649 million.
While analysts currently rate the stock a Hold, expectations are rising. A strong earnings report and upbeat guidance could force a broader re-rating. That said, investors should be mindful of valuation risk: Bloom trades at a forward P/E north of 130, leaving little room for disappointment after such a powerful run.
T1 Energy: Small-Cap Momentum With Big Ambitions
T1 Energy (NYSE: TE) sits on the smaller-cap end of the spectrum, with a market capitalization of nearly $2 billion, yet its momentum profile rivals that of much larger peers. The company focuses on building domestic solar and battery supply chains in the U.S., emphasizing scalability, reliability and cost efficiency. It develops energy storage systems and battery solutions designed to support both grid infrastructure and commercial mobility.
Despite the lack of profitability, shares have delivered impressive returns. The stock is up 27% year-to-date and more than 300% over the past year, reflecting strong investor appetite for high-growth, speculative energy infrastructure plays.
In its most recent report, T1 posted Q3 2025revenue of $210.52 million, beating expectations and representing a sharp increase from Q2 revenue of $132 million. The company remains in a heavy investment phase, but top-line momentum is clearly building.
Wall Street appears constructive. The stock carries a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on seven analyst opinions, signaling confidence in the company’s long-term growth trajectory despite near-term losses.
Clearway Energy: Momentum With Income
Clearway Energy (NYSE: CWEN) offers a different angle within the alternative energy space: momentum paired with income. The mid-cap company, with a market capitalization of $7.3 billion, owns and operates a diversified portfolio of contracted renewable and conventional generation assets, as well as thermal infrastructure. Its segments include renewable generation, conventional power and corporate energy services.
The company’s standout feature is its dividend. The stock currently yields 5.05%, supported by a payout ratio near 77%. That income component has helped attract investors during periods of market volatility. Performance has been solid: shares are up nearly 8% year-to-date and roughly 46% over the past year, excluding dividends. When income is included, total returns become even more compelling.
Analysts rate the stock a Moderate Buy, with a consensus price target near $37.71, implying modest upside from current levels. Clearway may not deliver the explosive gains of smaller momentum names, but it offers a steadier way to gain exposure to rising power demand.
Amprius Technologies: High-Risk, High-Momentum Battery Play
Amprius Technologies (NYSE: AMPX) is a small-cap name best suited for investors with higher risk tolerance. The company, with a market capitalization of roughly $1.46 billion, focuses on advanced silicon-anode lithium-ion batteries designed to deliver significantly higher energy density. Its technology targets applications across aviation, electric vehicles and light electric mobility.
After gaining well over 160% in 2025, the stock has added another 42% in 2026, continuing its strong momentum trend. Financially, Amprius remains early-stage. In Q3 2025, the company reported revenue of $21.4 million and a loss of $0.03 per share. Despite limited revenue, Wall Street remains optimistic, assigning the stock a Moderate Buy rating and a consensus price target that implies about 43% upside potential.
Institutional flows support that optimism. Over the past 12 months, Amprius has seen $216 million in inflows versus just $13.75 million in outflows — a notable vote of confidence in the company’s technology and long-term potential.
Babcock & Wilcox: Extreme Momentum, Elevated Volatility
Babcock & Wilcox (NYSE: BW) rounds out the list as one of the most volatile and most powerful momentum movers in the alternative energy space. Given the company’s market capitalization of $1.05 billion, increased volatility and momentum can be expected.
BW provides energy and environmental technologies serving power generation and heavy industrial markets. Its offerings include boilers, emissions-control systems and aftermarket services supporting both fossil-fuel and renewable facilities.
The stock’s performance has been nothing short of relentless. Shares are up 49% year-to-date, pushing one-year gains to an astonishing 525%. Technically, the stock has repeatedly consolidated and broken higher, offering momentum traders and investors multiple opportunities within its higher-timeframe uptrend.
However, despite the impressive technicals, the fundamentals remain mixed. In Q3 2025, Babcock posted EPS of negative $0.06, beating estimates, but revenue of $149 million fell short of expectations. Despite that, the stock surged to new 52-week highs following the report — a reminder that price action and momentum, not fundamentals, are currently driving the story.
Power Demand Is Reshaping the Alternative Energy Landscape
Alternative energy has firmly emerged as one of the strongest momentum themes in the market, fueled by AI-driven electricity demand and structural power constraints.
From large-cap sector leaders like Bloom Energy to high-risk innovators like Amprius and Babcock, investors now have a wide range of ways to gain exposure. While valuations are certainly elevated across the group, momentum remains intact. As long as AI continues to strain global power infrastructure, the sector’s tailwinds appear far from exhausted.

The Zacks #1 Rank Performance covers the period beginning on January 1, 1988 through January 5, 2026. The performance is the equal weighted performance of a hypothetical portfolio consisting of stocks with a Zacks Rank of #1 that was rebalanced monthly from January 1988 through December 2013 and weekly from 12/31/13 through Monday’s open on January 5, 2026. For each stock with a Zacks Rank #1 at the beginning of the month, the total return during the month was calculated as the % change in the price of the stock from the closing price of the prior month to the closing price of the current month plus any dividends received during the month. The monthly individual stock returns were then averaged to determine the portfolio return for the month. For each stock with a Zacks Rank #1 at the beginning of the week, the total return during the week was calculated as the % change in the price of the stock from the opening price for the week to the opening price of the next week plus any dividends received during the week. The weekly individual stock returns were then averaged to determine the portfolio return for the week. If no month-end price or week end open price was available for a stock, it was not included in the portfolio return for the month or the week. The monthly and weekly returns were compounded to arrive at the annual returns. The annualized return is the annual return that, had it been achieved in each year or portion of a year, would have compounded to create the total return over the full time period. These returns are based on the list of Zacks Rank #1 Stocks that was available to clients of Zacks as of the beginning of the month, when returns were calculated monthly, or as of the beginning of the week when returns were calculated weekly. These returns are higher than the returns an investor could achieve investing real money in a portfolio of Zacks Rank #1 stocks because the returns of the hypothetical Zacks Rank #1 portfolio exclude a number of costs, including commissions incurred for trading, the average bid ask spread, the price impact of the trading and, prior to 2013, in those months when the end of the month fell on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, the overnight return from the month end close to the open on the next trading day.

Netflix Stock Drops 35%+ After Q4 as WBD Deal Risk Rises
Authored by Leo Miller. Originally Published: 1/23/2026.
In Brief
- Netflix shares are in the midst of a huge drawdown that began in the middle of 2025.
- The company’s latest earnings didn’t provide a respite, sending shares even lower.
- With valuation multiples near an over two-year low, and analysts eyeing upside, is NFLX poised for a big recovery?
Entertainment giant Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) just reported its much-anticipated Q4 and full-year 2025 financial results. The stock closed down approximately 3% on Jan. 21 in reaction, the latest sign of souring sentiment around the once-favored name.
Since hitting an all-time split-adjusted high near $134 on June 30, 2025, the stock has been on a steep downward trajectory. (Note that Netflix performed a ten-for-one stock split in November, moving its share price from well over $1,100 to the $110 range.) Overall, shares are down roughly 37% from their mid-2025 peak.

The company has given investors plenty to ponder. With growth expected to moderate and uncertainty surrounding its Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ: WBD) acquisition, many market participants have turned cautious. The stock now trades at its lowest forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio in over two years.
Given the circumstances, should investors exercise caution around Netflix, or is this an opportunity to capitalize on the stock’s steep decline?
Netflix Hits Its Marks in Q4, But Signals Growth Slowdown
In its latest quarter, Netflix posted solid results, but only narrowly beat Wall Street forecasts.
Sales came in at $12.05 billion, an increase of 18%, slightly above estimates of $11.97 billion. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.56, a split-adjusted increase of more than 30% and $0.01 above consensus.
For 2026, Netflix guided to full-year sales of $51.2 billion at the midpoint, implying growth of about 13% — a notable deceleration from the roughly 16% full-year growth rate recorded in 2025. The company also expects to generate approximately $11 billion in free cash flow (FCF), or about 16% growth.
If FCF grows near or modestly above this rate over the long term, it could help justify the stock’s current valuation. However, as streaming becomes more competitive and less novel, maintaining strong organic growth will be challenging.
Accordingly, the company’s planned acquisition of Warner Bros. will play a major role in Netflix’s trajectory as it seeks to convert new assets into higher revenue and profits.
WBD Deal: Netflix’s Big Splash Still Has Big Question Marks
Netflix is pitching the Warner Bros. deal as a growth accelerant. During the earnings call, CEO Ted Sarandos said, “We’re working really hard to close the acquisition of Warner Bros. Studios and HBO, which we see as a strategic accelerant.”
Last quarter, these WBD segments generated about $5.28 billion in revenue and $1 billion in adjusted EBITDA. The acquisition could materially boost Netflix’s EBITDA, which averaged roughly $3.4 billion over the last four quarters. Integrating WBD’s content and production capabilities could also lift engagement and subscriber growth, supporting stronger long-term performance.
But Netflix is paying a high price: the deal is valued at $82.7 billion, and the company recently converted its offer to an all-cash transaction. That increases the financial strain, since WBD shareholders won’t receive Netflix stock. Netflix also said it would suspend share buybacks to help finance the acquisition — removing a meaningful EPS tailwind after repurchasing nearly $9.2 billion of stock in 2025.
Perhaps the biggest question is whether the deal will close. It appears likely to face significant antitrust scrutiny, and regulatory approval is far from certain. There’s also a real chance that Paramount Skydance (NASDAQ: PSKY) increases its bid above the current $30 per share, which could derail Netflix’s attempt to acquire WBD.
Analysts Eye +35% Gains, But Uncertainty Shrouds NFLX
The consensus price target on Netflix currently sits near $121, implying substantial upside.
Many analysts updated their targets on Jan. 21 after the earnings release; the price targets published that day averaged about $117, still implying strong upside of roughly 38%.
Despite these optimistic targets, the market remains wary — likely because of the acquisition uncertainty and questions about future growth. While near-term risks are real, the stock could be too cheap to ignore.
Netflix’s forward P/E of roughly 27x is the lowest since October 2023, suggesting the shares are trading at a relative discount.
If Netflix can successfully close and integrate WBD, the long-term benefits could be material, tilting the outlook for shares to the upside. For now, investors must weigh the sizable potential rewards against meaningful regulatory and execution risks.
