This Month’s Bonus Article
Submitted by Sam Quirke. Date Posted: 12/22/2025.
Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) has rarely lacked ambition; its latest initiative is one of the most direct attempts yet to redefine everyday convenience. Amazon Now, launched in early December, aims to deliver near-instant orders in dense urban areas, narrowing the gap between online ordering and local retail. For investors, the key question is whether Amazon Now could move the stock heading into 2026.
Despite solid fundamentals and strong earnings, AMZN has traded mostly sideways over the past six months. Amazon Now arrives when the core business looks healthy, sentiment is constructive, and the market is waiting for a catalyst. Let’s take a closer look at whether this could be it.
Elon Musk’s Starlink project is generating major speculation ahead of a potential IPO that some analysts believe could reach a historic $100 billion valuation. According to James Altucher, there may be a smart “backdoor” way for everyday investors to position ahead of that event without needing traditional IPO access — and he says it can be done for under $100. He’s also sharing a free ticker tied to this trend for anyone who wants to take a closer look.Click here to learn more
At its core, Amazon Now is about speed and frequency. Unlike traditional Prime delivery, which optimizes for next-day or two-day fulfillment at scale, Amazon Now is built for immediacy. The goal is to make Amazon the default choice not only for planned purchases but for spontaneous ones.
That strategic shift matters. Faster delivery can increase order frequency, deepen consumer spending habits, and strengthen brand loyalty. It also enhances the Prime value proposition beyond shipping savings, potentially pulling more everyday spending into Amazon’s ecosystem—especially in categories where convenience beats price.
Timing is favorable: Amazon’s logistics network is denser and more mature than ever in major metropolitan areas, giving the company a structural advantage few competitors can match. Ultra-fast delivery is costly, but Amazon is one of the few players with the scale to pursue it without upending its broader model.
Importantly, Amazon Now should be viewed as strategic upside rather than a business dependency. The company doesn’t need the initiative to be a runaway success for the overall business to thrive—an important point for risk-conscious investors.
Since the announcement, analysts have been quick to update their outlooks on the stock. Firms such as BMO Capital Markets, JPMorgan Chase, TD Cowen, and Jefferies have reiterated Buy or equivalent ratings on Amazon shares in recent weeks, and that momentum could continue into January.
Some recent price targets reach as high as $305, implying roughly 35% upside from current levels. At the same time, there have been no meaningful downgrades tied to margin concerns or execution risk related to the launch.
That absence of alarm bells matters. It’s hard to quantify how much Amazon Now will add to near-term earnings, but analysts’ reactions suggest confidence that the initiative fits Amazon’s long-term playbook. In short, while Amazon Now may not be the explicit driver behind every bullish call, the market tone indicates analysts view the move as a net positive.
The backdrop is a stock that has been consolidating for months. Amazon has traded in a relatively narrow range since July, with only a brief pop to new highs after November’s earnings report, which quickly faded. Meanwhile, many mega-cap peers sit near their highs.
That price action suggests investors are waiting for a catalyst: they aren’t rushing to sell, but they aren’t bidding the stock up aggressively either. Amazon Now introduces a clear variable that could change that balance.
If early adoption shows customers embracing the service without a disproportionate hit to margins, the market may reassess Amazon’s growth profile for 2026 and beyond. It doesn’t require perfection—just evidence that speed can scale without undermining profitability.
Conversely, if execution falters or costs balloon, the stock is likely to remain range-bound. With expectations reasonable and sentiment constructive, this urban delivery push could be the spark investors have been waiting for—if Amazon can execute.

A message from our friends at Porter & Company
You can feel it, can’t you?
Something big just broke…
Not the stock market, not the banks… something deeper.
The numbers say everything’s fine… but it doesn’t feel fine, does it?
The cost of living keeps rising. The divide keeps widening. The anger keeps building.
Listen, I’ve spent three decades studying financial systems, and I’ve never seen pressure like this. It’s as if the old order of the economy has cracked and something new is forcing its way through.
Most people can’t see it yet. But they sense it. They feel it in their gut.
I’ve pulled on that thread for the past year, and what I’ve uncovered is bigger than anything I’ve ever reported. And it’s happening much faster than anyone imagines.
I explain everything in my new documentary.

Good investing,

Though roughly flat year-to-date, Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) is continuing to impress as it grinds higher into the final stretch of 2025. Shares closed around $230 on Wednesday, Dec. 10 — up roughly 40% since April — maintaining a multi-month uptrend.
While the bulls briefly lost their grip after the stock hit fresh all-time highs near $260 in early November, the bears failed to build on that weakness. With momentum turning higher again, Amazon looks poised to retest those highs. Consistent earnings strength and renewed analyst conviction are powering the latest uptrend, setting the stage for a potential breakout that could carry it to $300.
You’re almost out of time to place this “Debasement Trade”
Wall Street has been making headlines for piling into a strange new money move they’re calling the “Debasement Trade”… And it could affect you and your money in a MAJOR way. According to Dr. David Eifrig, a former Goldman Sachs executive who has traded profitably through just about every stock market situation you can imagine, including Black Monday… the clock is ticking for you to get your money in the right place. He’s just released a free, brand-new briefing that explains exactly what’s happening and the No. 1 financial step to take immediately.Click here to watch it now before it’s too late.
The first and most obvious reason to be bullish on Amazon is that the fundamentals remain solid.
The company has delivered consistent earnings beats all year, maintaining double-digit revenue growth across key segments. Whether it’s e-commerce, advertising, or Amazon Web Services, each division continues to show impressive scalability for a $2.5 trillion company.
This consistency should fuel the rally toward $300. Investors considering entering the trade aren’t just buying into hype; they’re backing a business that has reliably delivered quarter after quarter. When a company of this scale can expand margins while investing heavily in AI and logistics, the upside case becomes hard to dismiss.
Another major tailwind for Amazon’s stock is sustained bullish support from Wall Street—something MarketBeat has been highlighting in recent months.
December has already seen UBS Group, Rosenblatt Securities, and Wedbush reaffirming Buy or equivalent ratings, with price targets of $300 or higher.
There is a growing sense that Amazon is entering a new phase of growth, powered by accelerating demand in cloud computing and AI-related services. Those engines are driving optimism that the company’s best earnings years may still be ahead, and that the stock’s next leg higher could come sooner than many expect. Wedbush’s refreshed price target — $340 — implies nearly 50% upside from current levels.
This level of analyst conviction is notable given how crowded the mega-cap tech trade has become. It likely helps that Amazon’s stock is roughly flat for the year, making it look relatively undervalued next to peers. Still, the fact it stands out as one of the more compelling opportunities in the group underscores confidence in its long-term story.
That said, the setup isn’t without risks.
The first concern is technical: the $240 level has proven to be a tricky area for Amazon shares multiple times over the past year, repeatedly acting as a stubborn layer of resistance. Sellers have consistently defended this zone, so a decisive break above it would likely trigger a fresh wave of buying and put $260 — and then $300 — squarely into play.
The second risk is macro-related. Amazon’s recent strength has been partly driven by a broader risk-on tone across markets. The S&P 500 has risen more than 5% over the past three weeks as investors piled back into growth names after a brief pause.
If that momentum fades into the holidays, Amazon could struggle to maintain its current pace, at least temporarily. However, with the latest U.S. inflation readings remaining favorable and rate-cut expectations growing for early 2026, the macro backdrop currently looks broadly supportive for tech.
While Amazon’s path to $300 may not be immediate, the building blocks are in place: strong fundamentals, consistent execution, and broad analyst conviction. For long-term investors, the consolidation around $230 could represent an attractive entry point before the next leg higher.
If the stock can move cleanly beyond $240 in the coming sessions, there’s little standing in the way of a retest of November’s highs, and from there, the $300 mark suddenly doesn’t look so far away.

These Small Caps Just Hit Critical Inflection Levels (From Market Crux)
Written by Thomas Hughes

The Toro Company’s (NYSE: TTC)weekly stock chart suggests its bear market is over, a baby bull market has formed, and it’s gaining traction. Not only is the market showing clear support at long-term lows, aligning with prior price action, but support appears to be strengthening; the indications are strong, and a breakout is imminent. The breakout is the critical factor, signalling market commitment and a trigger point for investors, likely to spur an influx of new capital.
The fundamentals are also critical factors for this industrial stock. A bullish-looking chart without a bullish story is nothing more than a bear market setting itself up for another run lower. In this case, while The Toro Company continues to face hurdles, it is navigating them well, widening margins, and is on track to resume growth in 2026.

The Toro Company did not have a great 2025, with revenue contracting due to weakness in its consumer segment, but strength in the Pro segment offset it and was compounded by cost-saving efforts. The company’s AMP strategy is paying off, resulting in a 220 basis-point improvement in adjusted gross margin and significant outperformance on the bottom line. Investments in growth and technology, as well as the impact of tariffs, cut into earnings; however, adjusted EPS was more than 450 basis points ahead of MarketBeat’s reported consensus, free cash flow hit a record, and cost savings are forecast to continue in the upcoming year.
Guidance is a driving force for this market and the capital return outlook. The company continues to expect a modest single-digit revenue gain in 2026 but has increased its earnings forecast from prior levels, giving a range whose midpoint exceeds the consensus target. The new guidance includes a 25% increase to the AMP savings target, expected to be realized by the end of fiscal year 2026 (FY2026), and an improved outlook for capital returns.
The Toro Company’s capital return is attractive for investors. The company’s dividend, which yields about 2% as of the end of 2025, is safe at 35% of the earnings forecast and reliable, with a 22-year history of annual distribution increases. The cash flow and balance sheet also allow for share buybacks, which reduced the count by an aggressive 4.4% in FY2025 and are expected to continue in FY2026.
The Toro Company’s balance sheet is in a strong, fortress-like position, allowing it to support ongoing operations and growth initiatives while returning capital in 2026.
Highlights from FY2025 include the impact of aggressive share reduction, ie, reduced equity, offset by a strong cash position and low leverage. The company’s long-term debt is stable, well-managed, and less than 0.65x equity, about 3x the cash, providing no red flags for investors.
Analyst activity in TTC stock is modest, with only eight covering it, and sentiment is pegged at Hold. However, the stock is trading well below the low end of its target range, suggesting a minimum 5% upside from the critical resistance level. The consensus, which has been steady over the trailing 12-month period, forecasts more than 15% upside, sufficient for a nearly 18-month high.
The value opportunity is also seen in the institutional activity. While back-half 2025 activity was subdued relative to the front half, they own nearly 90% of the stock, and the balance of activity is conspicuously bullish. The group netted more than $2 for each $1 sold in Q3 FY2025 and approximately $3 for each $1 sold in Q4 FY2025, providing solid support and a market tailwind. Assuming this trend continues in Q1 FY2026, TTC stock will likely move above the critical $81.50 resistance target before the subsequent earnings release, due in March. READ THIS STORY ONLINE

Bitcoin’s biggest moves are often missed by the skeptics — but after calling the $60,000 top, nailing the November 2022 bottom, and watching Bitcoin surge 500%+, I’m now tracking a little-known “Bitcoin loophole” that can target outsized payouts without needing to buy the coin outright. With Wall Street quietly accumulating Bitcoin at record levels — even bidding above market in some cases — the next wave could hit sooner than most expect, and this loophole may offer a far more powerful way to capture the upside.CLICK HERE TO SEE HOW THE BITCOIN LOOPHOLE WORKS AND WHY I’M PREPARING FOR THE NEXT SURGE

As we head into the final few sessions of 2025, Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) is on track to finish Q4 as one of the market’s clear laggards. Shares of the streaming giant fell roughly 20% over the period, sharply underperforming the S&P 500, which logged a gain of more than 3%. In the broader context, Netflix is trading back near where it stood this time last year, having lost more than 30% since its all-time high in July.
Overall, the sell-off reflects a broad loss of confidence. Investors have questioned whether Netflix can maintain its historical growth rates, grown uneasy about its proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, and have remained unsettled by October’s dodgy earnings report. However, there are several reasons to think the worst-case scenario is now priced in, and the stock’s risk/reward profile is skewing north. Let’s take a look at why Netflix could be a sneaky comeback contender for Q1.
Starting with October’s earnings report, it was a clear disappointment that set the tone for the rest of the quarter, but it is worth separating optics from reality. Despite an EPS miss, Netflix still delivered its highest revenue print ever, and that distinction matters. Demand didn’t collapse, nor did the business suddenly lose relevance. Instead, the report undermined confidence in near-term execution and reignited doubts about the durability of growth.
Markets tend to punish uncertainty almost as much as, if not more than, bad news, and Netflix was hit with both at once. Growth skepticism resurfaced right as expectations were already elevated, creating the conditions for a rush to the exit and a sharp drop, despite the company having logged several quarters of solid earnings reports beforehand.
This is often how worst-case-scenario quarters look. Investors stop giving management the benefit of the doubt, and sentiment swings decisively negative even if the broader equity market is doing well.
It didn’t help matters that in the weeks following October’s miss, further uncertainty was created by Netflix’s bid for Warner Bros. Discovery. The situation then became more complex after a competing offer from Paramount–Skydance exceeded Netflix’s bid, even if the Warner Bros. board has reportedly recommended that shareholders reject it in favor of Netflix’s proposal.
For investors, this move raises a ton of uncomfortable questions. A potential bidding war introduces the risk of unplanned leverage, with the prospect of a heavier debt load unlikely to win them any favors at a time when balance sheet discipline is under increased scrutiny. Even if Netflix ultimately prevails, the path there could involve higher costs and prolonged uncertainty before any clear payoff emerges.
The thing is, though, while sentiment has been weak, the technical picture is beginning to suggest the tide is turning. Netflix’s RSI is now approaching extremely oversold territory, a level that often signals selling pressure is close to exhaustion. At the same time, the MACD is forming a bullish crossover, suggesting downside momentum is fading, and the bulls are starting to wrest back control.
Price action is also stabilizing. The stock has begun to consolidate above the $90 level, and holding that zone into January would reinforce the idea that sellers have largely stepped aside and a recovery rally is about to begin.
Recent analyst behavior adds further weight to this theory. Over the past few weeks, the teams at Morgan Stanley, DZ Bank, Jefferies, Wolfe Research, and Needham, to name just a few, have been reiterating Buy or equivalent ratings.
Some of the refreshed price targets now range as high as $152, implying targeted upside of around 60% from current levels. For those of us on the sidelines, that kind of target is hard to ignore.
For Netflix to mount a meaningful comeback in Q1, three things need to fall into place. First, the stock must continue to hold above $90, confirming that consolidation is turning into a base rather than another pause before lower lows. Second, clarity needs to emerge on the Warner Bros. acquisition, ideally without forcing Netflix into a balance sheet stretch that undermines confidence. Third, January’s earnings report needs to beat expectations and make October’s miss look like a rare slip rather than the start of a downturn.
If those conditions are met, the setup looks compelling. Expectations are low, sentiment is close to rock bottom, and the stock is technically washed out. In a market crowded with mega-cap technames trading near highs, Netflix’s depressed price and credible rebound potential stand out. READ THIS STORY ONLINE

The year 2025 will go down in financial history as the year the metals complex finally woke up. For investors watching the tickers, the moves have been nothing short of historic. A perfect storm of Federal Reserve rate cuts has weakened the dollar and lit a fuse under hard assets.
Gold has surged approximately 73% year-to-date, shattering ceilings to trade near $4,540 per ounce. Silver has performed even more aggressively, climbing more than 140% to trade above $70. These moves have generated life-changing wealth for early adopters, but they have also created anxiety among those on the sidelines.
The fear of missing out (FOMO) is palpable. New capital entering the market today faces a difficult psychological hurdle: Is it too late to buy at all-time highs? While precious metals may still have room to run based on monetary policy and geopolitical fears, the risk-to-reward ratio has undeniably shifted. However, scanning slightly further down the commodities list reveals a glaring divergence.
Copper, often called “Dr. Copper” for its ability to gauge the health of the global economy, is up roughly 38% this year. In a normal market, a 38% gain would be front-page news. But in the shadow of gold and silver’s parabolic runs, copper looks like a distinct value play. Trading around $5.77 per pound, copper has not yet experienced the catch-up rally that historically occurs in the second phase of a commodities supercycle. As 2026 approaches, market dynamics suggest the red metal is mathematically primed to close this valuation gap.
Historically, copper demand was tied to traditional, old-economy industries: homebuilding, manufacturing, and electrical infrastructure. If GDP growth slowed, copper prices dropped. That correlation is breaking down because a new, price-inelastic buyer has entered the market: Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The rapid buildout of AI infrastructure requires massive amounts of power and cooling systems, both of which are incredibly copper-intensive. A standard data center uses significant copper for cabling and power distribution, but the new generation of AI-specific centers requires exponentially more. Data from BloombergNEF indicates that copper demand specifically for data centers could reach 572,000 tonnes annually by 2028.
This surge in demand is colliding with a rigid, unresponsive supply chain. In the tech sector, software can be updated overnight. In the mining sector, reality moves much more slowly. It takes, on average, over 15 years to discover, obtain permits for, and build a new copper mine.
Wood Mackenzie, a leading energy research consultancy, forecasts a refined copper deficit of 304,000 tonnes for 2025/2026. This is known as a structural deficit. The demand is real and immediate, but the new supply is years away. This imbalance creates a natural price floor. For investors, this means the driver of copper prices is no longer just whether the economy is growing; it is the physical inability of miners to dig metal out of the ground fast enough to meet the tech sector’s needs.
Investors looking to capitalize on this supply-demand mismatch have several options. The key is to identify companies with strong fundamentals that can convert higher copper prices into free cash flow without taking on excessive risk.
As North America’s premier copper producer, Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE: FCX) offers direct leverage to the spot price of the metal.
For investors seeking stability and income alongside growth, Southern Copper (NYSE: SCCO) is a compelling alternative.
Mining is an operationally complex business.
Strikes, weather events, political shifts in South America, or engineering failures can severely impact individual companies.
As the calendar turns to 2026, the distinction between the metals becomes clear. Gold serves a vital role in preserving wealth and providing insurance against monetary instability. Copper, however, offers a vehicle for aggressive growth. The combination of the green energy transition and the unexpected AI boom has created a demand shock that the mining industry is currently ill-equipped to satisfy.
The current valuation gap between the soaring precious metals and the steady industrial metals is unlikely to last. With global inventories at critical lows and the projected deficit widening, the path of least resistance for copper prices appears to be higher. For the measured investor, rotating a portion of profits from the high-flying gold trade into the sleeping giant of copper offers a logical strategy to capture the next phase of the supercycle.
