We must never stop fighting for the kind of…

Peter, it’s Bernie Sanders.

In just a moment, I’m going to ask you to make a contribution to the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC. But first, I want to explain why this request is so important.

We are living in one of the most consequential moments in modern history.

Together, under Trump, we are fighting Oligarchy, authoritarianism, kleptocracy, and a corrupt campaign finance system that allows billionaires like Elon Musk enormous power over our elections and legislative process.

We are fighting, to quote President Abraham Lincoln, for “a government of the people, by the people and for the people.”

At a time of massive income and wealth inequality, Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” makes the billionaire class even richer while attacking the most basic needs of working families and the most vulnerable members of our society.

Trumpism is about the belief that we live in a “dog eat dog world” – where it is moral and appropriate for the big dogs to eat the little dogs, where the billionaires get tax breaks while children go hungry and workers sleep in their cars.

Well. We disagree. That is not our value system and that is not the value system that most Americans adhere to.

In my view, in order to defeat Trumpism we need a multifaceted approach:

We must rally and educate the American people against all aspects of his reactionary agenda. We need to expand our grassroots organizing. And we must support progressive candidates.

We must elect a U.S. House and a U.S. Senate that will prioritize the needs of the working class in this country, not the billionaire class.

Now is the time to restore the faith of the American people that they have a government in this country that is working for them, not just the 1%.

Now is the time for us to come together to fight for progressive candidates and a progressive agenda that puts working people first. And today, I am asking for your help to do that:

Can you please make a contribution of $27 or whatever you can afford directly to the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC before the June end-of-quarter deadline? Your donation will directly support the Progressive Caucus and progressives who need our help to win in the next election.

In solidarity,

My husband was killed. Overnight, I was an almanah,…

Rabbi Shimon Galai and Rabbi Yitzchak Kolodetzky call on the public to come to the aid of this widow and her 10 orphaned children

Shabbos is the absolute hardest.

It’s when my kids are neediest and my smile has to be the widest, and my husband’s empty chair hits me the hardest.

In case you can’t tell, I’m terrified for Shabbos – and feeling extremely guilty about it.

My youngest child asked me last week with huge eyes where the regular Shabbos party is, and I just swallowed hard without answering because I wouldn’t let myself cry.

When I couldn’t afford to buy treats, I started baking something nice every week. But last week, I couldn’t even pay for the eggs and flour for my kids’ favorite cake recipe, so a Shabbos went by without A SINGLE PIECE of tasty food in the house.

I was once normal, like you. Then, my husband was killed. Overnight, I was an almanah, and my ten children were orphans. My kids are hungry, and the bank is threatening to evict us from our home.

We can’t go on like this! This week it was egg, and last week it was milk for breakfast, and the week before it was the eviction notice.

Money isn’t just comfort. It’s stability. Please let me give my children their basic needs!

Oil Hits $74 – $100 Next?

A Message from The Oxford Club

Oil just surged 8.5% in a single day – the biggest jump since 2022!

CNN and WSJ are both reporting the same story:

Israel’s unprecedented attack on Iran sent Brent crude soaring over 7% to $74 a barrel.

But here’s what has oil experts really concerned…

Energy analyst Andy Lipow warns that if the conflict disrupts the Strait of Hormuz – the world’s most critical oil chokepoint – we could see $100 oil.

That’s a 35% jump from today’s levels.

While most investors will scramble to buy oil stocks after prices have already spiked…

There’s a much smarter way to profit from this crisis.

It’s an unusual investment that lets you collect monthly income from oil – without owning a single oil stock.

In fact, one legendary investor used this exact strategy to turn $1,000 into a nearly $100,000 annual income stream over 60 years.

Get the full details here before oil hits $100 >>

The Middle East situation is escalating rapidly. Don’t wait.

Invest in Quantum’s Future: 2 Top Picks

Gold is soaring. Here’s how to get paid from it (From Investors Alley)

Don’t Miss These 2 Small Quantum Stocks Poised to Pop

Multicoloured Futuristic CPU and Processor — Photo

Most investors are now aware of the remarkable rallies that have been locked inside the technology sector of the United States. However, those extraordinary overnight gains have mainly been confined to the artificial intelligence level, with a few exceptions in the semiconductor and chipmaking industries. In today’s market, investors need to start figuring out where the next wave of innovation and excitement might come from.

There are arguably three areas of innovation in the global economy, and artificial intelligence is one of them, but it doesn’t stop there. In the world of energy, nuclear energy might be one of these great leaps forward that could make a few millionaires bold enough to get in early; however, that journey might be too far away from proper development to even be discernible.

A more advanced area of secular growth that could become beneficial in the coming years is quantum computing, a close relative of artificial intelligence and a case study that is currently being adopted quietly. For this reason, investors may benefit from adding stocks like Rigetti Computing Inc. (NASDAQ: RGTI) and Quantum Computing Inc. (NASDAQ: QUBT) to their watchlists as potential multi-baggers.

A Trump Order Could Send This $7 Stock Soaring (Ad)

Something big is brewing in Washington.

According to my research, an executive order from President Trump could be just weeks away.

And it holds the potential to trigger one of the most explosive tech booms in US history.

At the center of it all? Robots.

Not the kind that clean your house or pour you coffee.

But the kind that could reshape entire industries, add $1.2 trillion per year to the US economy, and affect 65 million American lives — just in the next year.

This little-known company holds nearly 100 patents and trades for around $7

Why Quantum Computing?

Moore’s law dictates that computing power is set to double in its potency every two years, and this is far from just being a recommendation on how often consumers should buy new smartphones and laptops; it actually gives investors a roadmap of where to start looking for new ideas next.

With this in mind, the computing power that the semiconductor industry has demonstrated so far is hitting a plateau, as there is a physical limit on how small chips can actually get without compromising their power. This is where quantum computing comes into play, a new way to retain both power and efficiency without many compromises.

Companies like Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) have already been developing their own version of a quantum computer, but as every venture capitalist knows, it’s much easier to buy a successful case study than to build one, so this is where investors might get a chance to turn their portfolios into a home-run of a play.

Rigetti Computing Attracted the Big Guns

As of Early May 2025, institutional buyers from the Vanguard Group decided to increase their stake in Rigetti Computing stock by as much as 20.7%, bringing their total stake to $112.3 million, or approximately 5% ownership in the company. This 5% is no coincidence, as it grants Vanguard stewardship status in this company, and that’s where it gets interesting.

Management can now rely on this stewardship and capital backing to develop and deliver on a growth vision moving forward, an event that will turn investors into winners, provided they are comfortable with investing in this early-stage company.

At a market capitalization of only $3.2 billion today, the sky is the limit. At the same time, the ground is still close enough to limit losses. These are the sort of asymmetrical bets that every multi-bagger play tends to carry at first. Even though this company is small and a comer, its exposure to quantum computing has earned it some Wall Street attention.

As of mid-May 2025, Quinn Bolton from Needham & Company rates Rigetti Computing stock a Buy, assigning a valuation of up to $15per share. Compared to where the stock trades today, this view implies that it can rally by as much as 36.3%, a fraction of its full potential, once the industry begins to heat up.

However, it seems that the entire market is very optimistic on this view for the future, as it is now willing to pay up to 24.6x in a price-to-book (P/B) ratio, a massive premium to the rest of the computer sector’s average 6.7x P/B, signaling utter confidence that within quantum computing, Rigetti is a likely winner.

Trump’s “resource grab” is a smokescreen (Ad)

The media and financial pundits are all misreading Trump’s actions.

They think Trump wants to make Canada the 51st state because he’s desperate for critical minerals…

They think his involvement in Ukraine is just another resource grab…

They think his tariffs will wreck the economy…

But they’re all missing the bigger picture.

This is fast becoming the world’s most sought-after resource.

The Right Components for Quantum Computing Inc.

For these small companies to truly make the leap from small-cap to mid- or large-cap, there must be more than just momentum in their underlying technologies; numbers and financial metrics also need to be in place. In the case of Quantum Computing Inc. stock, both are covered.

This company has transitioned from a net loss of $0.47 per share in the fourth quarter of 2024 to a net earnings per share (EPS) of up to $0.13 in the first quarter of 2025. This is the sort of growth that can be expected to occur within 12 months, so the fact that this company achieved it in only three makes a very strong case for its continued upside potential.

Despite a 12-month rally of up to 3,183%, chances are the true ceiling for QUBT stock is not even within sight yet, especially if the company can keep delivering these sorts of EPS surprises. The best part is that, at only $2.8 billion in market cap, the upside potential is still largely uncharted.

Some of the leading semiconductor and artificial intelligence companies are valued in the hundreds of billions (if not the trillions) of dollars. Given enough time for quantum computing to develop in the global economy, investors can see how these two stocks can become multi-baggers with ease.

Volatility Protection in American Express

Trump’s “resource grab” is a smokescreen (From Porter & Company)

Payment Giants Slide on Stablecoin Buzz—Is Now the Time to Buy?

Man using credit card — Photo Every economic cycle brings about a popularity contest that many legendary investors discuss. The short-term behavior of financial markets often gravitates toward what’s popular and trending among various investment circles, and that usually spreads to the most unexpected areas, including industries and companies themselves.

Today, it seems that the world of cryptocurrencies has taken that path, with companies now holding Bitcoin in their balance sheets as part of a completely unrelated strategy relative to core operations. The objective seems to be to make the stock popular among new investors and others who are riding on the cryptocurrency tailwind. However, as these seasoned participants know, fundamentals eventually start to matter again.

In this theme, some stocks in the financial sector have sold off on the belief that stablecoins will replace their services. While the bears might have won this battle in the short term, the bulls are likely to win the war in the end. This is why considering the dips in Visa Inc. (NYSE: V), Mastercard Inc. (NYSE: MA), and American Express Company (NYSE: AXP) may be some of the best opportunities today.

Here’s the last trade you should make before heading out for the weekend tomorrow. (Ad)

Make this one trade at 2:59 PM on Friday afternoon, and you’ll thank me on Monday morning.

Give me the details

What’s the Stablecoin Threat?

Some online retailers, such as Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), have announced plans to replace the tried-and-tested payment processors in today’s list with a stablecoin of their own, which would completely change the landscape that has been in place for decades.

While this seems exciting at first, investors need to remember why these payment processors are as big as they are today. There is a safety aspect to them, where customers can offset the risk of a fraudulent vendor, disputes, and even a last-minute change of mind.

The question now becomes whether platforms like Amazon will take on this risk model, letting their consumers have the same peace of mind that they now enjoy with traditional payment processors. There’s also the factor of a credit profile, as consumers will build a credit history by using these payment processors and their credit lines.

A Likely Winner: Visa Stock

Market share can be a great indication of who might win the race back to previous highs, and this is precisely where Visa takes the lead. By holding up to 39% of global transaction volume, compared to only 24% for Mastercard, it becomes clear that Visa will likely be the one to drive more bullish price action moving forward.

In fact, institutional investors have landed on this fundamental theme as well, as seen in the 9.6% boost in holdings from allocators at Voya Investment Management. A 9.6% addition to their holdings left them with a $704 million stake in Visa stock, indicating where the bulk of institutional buying was concentrated during this broader dip in the payment processor sector.

What’s more, Mizuho analyst Dan Dolev also took advantage to gain a few reputational points. Boosting a rating in Visa to Outperform and a $425 valuation, this analyst now thinks Visa can not only reclaim its highs but deliver a net rally of up to 25.3% and also get it to a new 52-week high altogether.

Mastercard Could Play Catchup

If investors are now wondering whether this institutional action makes it too late to consider Visa stock, then they need only look at Mastercard. This is not the obvious choice for institutions, considering its smaller market share. However, it remains in a dominant enough position to make it the second-best option.

As all things go, the risk-takers are now in Visa, hoping for a rebound into the new highs. On the other hand, investors who want a bit more certainty and are okay with not being first can consider Mastercard as a “catch-up” play, second to Visa stock.

With sufficient market share and market penetration to achieve it, UBS analyst Timothy Chiodo has also landed on a fairly bold outlook. A Buy rating that targets a valuation of up to $670 per share would compensate investors for their patience in this play, offering a 25% upside potential from its current level.

Volatility Protection in American Express

American Express holds the smallest share of both the United States and global transaction volumes, but there’s a reason for that. This company focuses on quality rather than quantity, limiting access to a specific type of customer, one that might not make it the most exciting stock to invest in, but is definitely the safest on this list.

This is especially the case as the United States consumer faces the pressures of inflation and economic uncertainty, making those with stronger credit scores better customers during times like these. This is why those from Voya Investment Management diversified their bets on Visa with a $47.1 million stake in American Express as well.

What’s even more interesting is the fact that up to 12.9% of American Express stock’s short interest declined over the past month as well, despite the unexpected sell-off. This is a clear sign that bears see no further declines on the horizon for American Express. This view is justified by the company’s stable business model.
