Big Faith
May 16th, 2026

“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for.”
Hebrews 11:1,2

The incredible thing about being a Christian is that your faith can always outshine your fear. While you may still feel anxiety or worry, the Holy Spirit in your heart empowers you to choose trust whenever fear arises. Even if you tend to imagine worst-case scenarios, remember that in Jesus, what seems bad from a human perspective is transformed for your eternal good. Nothing can harm the precious soul redeemed…Read More

The Greatest Barrier to the Spiritual Life

Why A Keto Diet May Help Psychiatric Disorders 

The ketogenic diet, which shifts the body’s fuel source from glucose to fat-derived ketones, is being studied to see if it might benefit people living with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

Mental illness was once seen as a disorder of the brain alone, but it is becoming clearer that the body’s metabolism—including insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, lipid imbalances, and impaired energy production—is a major factor.

When you cut back on carbs, your body switches to burning fat instead, producing ketones. Ketone bodies can help stabilize brain activity and reduce overexcitability.

This difference is subtle in a healthy system, but it may become more relevant when glucose metabolism is impaired or the brain is under metabolic stress. (More)

Ephesians 5:25-27 – Cleansing the Mind: Washing of Water…

Having trouble reading this email? View it in your browser. 

Ephesians 5:25-27

(25) Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, (26) that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, (27) that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 
New King James Version   Change email Bible version

In I John 1:7, the apostle writes that we are cleansed by the blood of the Lamb. But the cleansing found here in Ephesians 5:26 is of a different kind. Hebrews 9:22 says, “Almost all things are purged by blood.” Almost all but not everything is. There are some things that must be purged in another way.

Ephesians 5:26 tells us that we are cleansed “with the washing of water by the word.” There are things that will be cleansed—things in our minds, things that deal with conduct, things that have to do with character and attitude—that are cleansed by water. The word “water” here is symbolic, referring to the Word of God, as well as to the Holy Spirit.

Christ gave a long discourse in John 6, which we often apply at Passover time, about eating His flesh and drinking His blood. Towards the end, He says to his audience, “The words that I speak to you, they are spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63).

We have in the Bible the Word of God—and Jesus says it contains power. It has power to cleanse a person’s mind, because we can think only by what goes into the mind, concepts that are contained in words. Words are merely symbols of ideas that we use to reason. We turn those ideas into action, into conduct, which becomes part of our character and our attitude.

In other places in the Bible, the Holy Spirit is compared to water and to oil. Both of these have revitalizing, nourishing, cleansing, purifying, and sanitizing properties to them. We are familiar with how we use water to cleanse things; water is the universal solvent. We do not use oil so much to cleanse things, but, on the other hand, the Samaritan in the parable treated the man’s wounds with oil (Luke 10:34). It had a purifying effect on him.

Therefore, we are washed by the water of the Word of God in conjunction with a new nature that is given to us by God through His Spirit. This begins to help us to understand why studying the Word of God is so important. We need those words in us so that we can think according to them, and if we believe those words, they will begin to purify and cleanse the way we think.

— John W. Ritenbaugh

The Weekly Wrapup

Markets were mostly higher this week as investors focused on strong earnings that are keeping the AI trade rolling along. Investors also remain confident that an end to the blockade in the Strait of Hormuz is coming sooner rather than later.

That would take the pressure off inflation, which came in hotter than expected on both the consumer and producer levels. Sticky inflation is changing the outlook for rate cuts and is even putting the idea of a rate hike on the table. For now, however, investors are buying into the growth story, which is backed up by mostly solid earnings.

That outlook may be tested next week when the major retailers report. The MarketBeat analysts will be following those reports and other news that impacts portfolios. Here are some of our most popular articles from this week.

Articles by Thomas Hughes

Photonics is gaining traction as demand for artificial intelligence data centers butts up against the limitations of traditional copper. This technology will also be essential for the space economy, and Thomas Hughes gave investors four photonics stocks that could go to the moon before their technology does.

Like many nuclear energy stocks, Oklo Inc. (NYSE: OKLO) has had a meltdown after going nuclear in 2025. Hughes pointed out that Oklo has a promising future, with several potential catalysts but an equal number of headwinds.

Hughes also analyzed the earnings report from MercadoLibre (NASDAQ: MELI). The “Amazon of Latin America” is growing, but spending a considerable amount to do so. A slight miss on earnings has sent MELI lower, but Hughes explained why it could be ready to rebound.

Articles by Sam Quirke

Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ: QCOM) is up 50% over the last month, and the bulls are starting to believe the company is finding growth beyond its software niche. But the bears are saying they’ve seen this before. Sam Quirke pointed out that the stock’s direction will come down to execution.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) is another technology stock that has surprised investors this earnings season. The stock is up more than 15% after earnings and is ready to crack the $300 mark. But Quirke noted that although it’s not without risks, analysts are raising their price targets, which suggests up to 20% more upside.

Quirke also broke down the near-term prospects for Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Alibaba (NYSE: BABA). Although a buy case can be made for both stocks, Quirke explained why one stock is offering more value.

Articles by Chris Markoch

AI infrastructure stocks are emerging as the next phase of the AI trade. However, investors are looking for long-term growth opportunities beyond NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA).  This week, Chris Markoch highlighted three AI infrastructure stocks that are already showing strong growth.

Earnings reports from hyperscalers confirmed that data center demand is real. That outlook got an exclamation point with the earnings report from Constellation Energy (NYSE: CEG). The stock is down after a beat-and-raise quarter that showed why data center demand is boosting the outlook for nuclear power.

OpenAI is one of the hottest anticipated initial public offerings (IPOs). But Markoch explained why OpenAI’s push to go public could be materially beneficial for Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT), as it would put a number on the company’s profit from its $13 billion investment in OpenAI.

Articles by Ryan Hasson

Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) is up more than 40% after its earnings report. However, the stock could be getting ahead of its strong fundamentals. This week, Ryan Hasson helped investors decide whether to buy or wait for a pullback.

Inference has replaced training as a hot investment theme in the AI trade. Hasson gave investors five stocks positioned to profit from this shift.

Articles by Leo Miller

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) is down sharply following its Q1 earnings report. But Leo Miller reminded investors that although analysts’ price targets have also moved lower, they still suggest significant upside for META.

Miller also checked in on MP Materials (NYSE: MP) after the company’s latest earnings report. Shares of the vertically integrated producer of rare earth materials surged in 2025 based on signed agreements. This year, the stock’s performance will come down to the company’s execution. So far, the results are good.

Dividend stocks and the AI trade don’t overlap much. But three large-cap AI stocks recently raised their dividends. These are small dividends, but they give investors an attractive sweetener to go along with trading near their 52-week highs.

Articles by Nathan Reiff

Quantum computing earnings season has come and gone. To kick off the week, Nathan Reiff wrote about how the strong report from IonQ Inc. (NYSE: IONQ) shaped the outlook for two key quantum computing stocks.

Following up from that article, Reiff broke down the earnings report from D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS). Investors sold the stock sharply after the report, but Reiff noted that they may change their minds after digging into some positives from the report.

Many investors stay away from airline stocks. But Reiff pointed investors to an opportunity in airplane maintenance companies that may help investors escape turbulence in the aerospace sector.

Articles by Dan Schmidt

Investors are advised not to catch “falling knives,” meaning a stock that’s selling at a discount and continues to move lower. This week, Dan Schmidt highlighted three beaten-down large-cap stocks and whether any are worth taking the risk.

Industrial stocks are being driven by AI infrastructure buildout, sector rotation away from tech, and growing backlogs in the defense sector. Schmidt pointed out three industrials that may be buying opportunities after delivering strong earnings.

Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson

Investors who want to capitalize on the anticipated increase in defense spending to meet the growing backlog should pay attention to Odysight.ai(NASDAQ: ODYS). Jeffrey Neal Johnson explained the company’s new partnership with the U.S. Navy and why it may be the first step in the company’s path to profitability.

Johnson also wrote about the supply gap in the memory market. Specifically, an acute labor crisis at a key global producer of DRAM chips is creating a catalyst for domestic chip makers. Johnson highlighted the catalysts that could keep the rally going and the risks that investors should understand.

A strong earnings report from Zebra Technologies (NASDAQ: ZBRA) is another example of the resurgence in industrial stocks. Johnson explained why the company is essential to managing the automation and intelligent workflows for the global supply chain, and that the bull case starts with Zebra’s ability to manage its own supply chain.

Articles by Jennifer Ryan Woods

Will luxury brands continue to outperform retail stocks? Tapestry Inc. (NYSE: TPR) suggests it might. The company delivered a strong earnings report, beating and raising. TPR moved lower following the report, but Jennifer Ryan Woods helped investors understand the likely reasons for the selling and why the pullback could create a potential entry point.

Shake Shack Inc. (NYSE: SHAK) needed a strong earnings report. It didn’t deliver, and SHAK stock is down sharply. Woods broke down the report, which wasn’t appetizing, but noted that analysts still see upside and pointed out that SHAK has a history of sharp rallies following steep declines.

On a more positive note, YETI Holdings Inc. (NYSE: YETI) was rewarded for a strong earnings report. The rally in YETI is a continuation of a strong run over the last 12 months. The surge has been refreshing, but Woods noted that YETI will have to show that the demand trends are sustainable.

Articles by Peter Frank

In many things, simpler is better. Peter Frank wrote this week that exiting some riskier businesses has allowed Ally Financial (NYSE: ALLY) to lean more heavily into its roots as an auto lender. The results showed up in the company’s earnings, and Wall Street liked what it saw.

Digital banking is good for consumers, but not necessarily profitable for digital-only banks. Chime Financial Inc. (NASDAQ: CHYM) is now an exception, having delivered its first profitable quarter. Frank broke down the report and explained that analysts are cautiously bullish but not ignoring the legitimate risks.Trump Just Executed a Bloodless Coup & Nobody Noticed (Ad)For the first time in history, a sitting U.S. president has effectively positioned himself to control the Federal Reserve – and it may begin as soon as May 15th.
A handful of little-known stocks could be positioned for dramatic gains of 1,000% or more over the next 12-24 months as this power shift plays out.

3 Authors’ Chilling Testimonies in Washington

3 Authors’ Chilling Testimonies in Washington

While President Donald Trump was visiting China for the first time during his second presidency on Thursday, a special hearingabout the Chinese regime was being held in Washington. 

Beneath Beijing’s seemingly grand reception and lavish state banquet lies an issue yet to be put on the table—one for which another day of delay means another day of more innocent lives being lost—the ruling Communist Party’s forced organ harvesting. 

Back in Washington, that was the focus of the congressional hearing. Three newly published books this year have shed light on the same issue. A bipartisan panel of lawmakers was eager to hear from the authors (Watch here).

One of the authors is The Epoch Times’ senior editor Jan Jekielek, whose book “Killed to Order” recently landed on the New York Times best-seller list.

In this groundbreaking exposé, Jan distills two decades of investigations from reputable sources—combined with his own research and in-depth firsthand information—into a compelling case for rethinking our approach to China. 

If you haven’t heard much about China’s forced organ harvesting, if you still have doubt about the atrocity, or if you want your family and friends to learn about it, order a copy.Order on Amazon

‘Best Author of the Year’ by French Quarter Magazine

French Quarter Magazine awarded Epoch Times senior editor Jan Jekielek the publication’s pick for 2026 Best Author of the Year on April 20.

“Jan explores allegations of forced organ harvesting in China—a subject as sensitive as it is significant, and one that invites us to reflect on human dignity, ethics, and global responsibility,” said the magazine’s founder and CEO, Isabelle Karamooz, “The role of journalist as its best is not only to inform but to illuminate, and sometimes to ask us to look more closely at what we might prefer not to see.”

Friday brought two more green closes.

Brian posted the BAC alert before the open. It closed clean — three trims, target hit, all out. Then came TSLA.

Friday opened soft. The tape was wobbly, the headlines were mixed, and most retail desks were content to wait it out.

Brian Mitchell saw something else. $BAC 49.5 calls expiring same day. Tight setup, small position, clear stop. Entry at $0.52 a contract. The note in the channel read “See green, take green environment.”

Seven minutes later the position was already in the money. By 10:03 AM, Brian dropped a Webull screenshot — the call open P&L showing+20.19%. Three minutes after that, he started trimming.

Two daytrades closed in profit on the same Friday session isn’t normal. It’s also not luck. It’s what happens when the tape gets read correctly, position size matches the risk, and trims are taken into strength instead of held into a reversal.

While Everyone Chases AI, Pharma Keeps Getting Cheaper

DAILY ISSUE

While Everyone Chases AI, Pharma Keeps Getting Cheaper 

VIEW IN BROWSER

Hello, Reader.

If your family includes millennials and Gen Z-ers, you’ve probably heard one word thrown around a lot: “hype.” They use it to talk about something exciting, energetic, or highly anticipated.

But between the 1910s and 1920s, long before it entered the lexicon of youthful enthusiasm, hype referred to the grift a con man might use to swindle or overcharge customers.

And by 1967, the meaning had evolved to signify “excessive or misleading publicity or advertising.”

These past definitions all express forms of deception, which is exactly how hype operates in the stock market. It tempts investors to “chase stocks” that are already wildly popular.

For brief periods of time, hype-chasing can produce huge gains. But hanging onto this gains is not easy. Once they hype dies out, stocks usually plummet quickly. During the last three years of the dot-com boom, for example, Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO) soared more than 1,300%! But just one year after that peak, the stock had collapsed more than 80%… and did not regain its peak price until thisyear, 26 years later.

Today, artificial intelligence is unquestionably the most “hype” topic in the stock market…which is why investors are climbing over one another to throw money at “AI darlings.” Even Cisco is on that list again!

Many investors have abandoned previously held sectors to chase the AI gold rush, leaving behind one particularly “underhyped” sector:

Healthcare.

In today’s Smart Money, I’ll explain how the hype surrounding the AI trade is diverting attention from potentially lucrative pharmaceutical stocks.

And why that disconnect, along with several promising developments, could make now the right time to take another look at the sector.

Let’s dive in…

Bigger than Nvidia? Louis Navellier thinks so.

In 2016, Louis Navellier recommended Nvidia at $2.51 – split-adjusted. It went up 44,000%. He also called Apple before a 36,000% rise and Microsoft before a 60,800% climb. Now he says a new AI device coming online in Tennessee is the setup for the biggest call of his career. He’s agreed to reveal the stock at the center of it – down to the ticker – for free.

How the AI Trade Left Healthcare Behind

Popular ways to profit from the rise of AI include investing in its infrastructure, data centers, and the energy and semiconductors needed to power them.

Nvidia Corp. (NVDA), the most popularly held chip company, has leaped 1,255% since November 30, 2022, when ChatGPT first hit the scene and forever changed how we use technology and AI…

Vertiv Holdings Inc. (VRT), which brings computing services and cooling solutions to data centers, has surged 2,579% since then…

Lumentum Holdings, Inc. (LITE), which supplies photonic solutions to data centers, has jumped 1,658%.

All while the iShares Pharmaceuticals ETF (IHE) has grown just 43% during that same stretch. Compared to AI and mega-cap tech stocks, that doesn’t look so hype.

Pharma stocks haven’t participated in the same speculative excitement as their AI counterparts. The NYSE Arca Pharmaceutical Index is trading for just 16 times forward earnings, which is barely half the valuation of the Nasdaq Composite Index of 29 times.

Healthcare has historically commanded a premium or near-market valuation, driven by steady demand, consistent cash flows, aging demographics, and resilience during recessions.

However, Barron’s noted last summer that those stocks were trading at some of their cheapest relative valuations versus the broader market in roughly 30 years.

And they still are today… because investors have been selling them to buy AI-related stocks instead.

But healthcare stocks’ earnings remain quite steady, while valuation multiples experienced a significant squeeze. As a result, they didn’t perform as well, even though profits stayed strong.

This change has led healthcare stocks to trade at a discount – making them more appealing given their growth potential.

However, where you invest in the sector is still important…

Where AI Is Actually Helping Healthcare

It’s important to note that cheap valuations do not automatically make for good investments.

There are several other reasons why pharmaceutical stocks are trading at discount levels right now, including ongoing uncertainty around government policy and healthcare regulation.

The current environment at the Department of Health and Human Services, combined with broader debates over vaccine policy, drug pricing, and Medicare reform, has made investors cautious.

At the same time, however, AI has helped create powerful new growth for select healthcare companies – particularly those using AI to accelerate and optimize the drug-discovery process.

An article from the World Economic Forum published earlier this year explains how AI is transforming three key stages in drug discovery:

1. Identifying disease targets (changing how biopharma identifies the biological drivers of disease),
2. Generating compounds (leveraging generative AI to create more molecules),
3. And predicting safety (by curating and analyzing historical data).

The pharmaceutical industry has officially entered the Age of AI, and no major drug company wants to be left behind. Collectively, it recognizes AI’s potential to revolutionize the drug-discovery process.

This is especially true as agentic AIfurther transforms the healthcare space.

Just this week, Owkin, an agentic AI company that develops AI tools for drug discovery and pharmaceutical research, said that it’s expanding its partnership with pharma giant AstraZeneca PLC (AZN) to build specialized AI agents for AstraZeneca’s research teams.

The push toward semiautonomous AI agents running parts of the pharmaceutical workflow is still in its early stages, but I expect the trend to grow significantly.

This transformational technology could both improve the plight of humanity andenrich forward-looking investors.

But betting on a hit-or-miss biotech company driven by unchecked AI hype may not be the best way to capitalize…

The Risk-Reward Play Worth Watching Now

Instead, at this stage of the opportunity, select large-cap drug companies may offer better risk-reward profiles.

I want investors to focus not just on growth, but on profitable companies with more defensive characteristics – especially as the hype around agentic AI grows.

That’s why I have my eye on one particular pharmaceutical trade.

You can find information for this healthcare play inside my Three Accelerator Trades for the Agentic Reckoning report, where I outline a total of three trades designed to accelerate gains from companies successfully leveraging agentic AI.

Learn how to access this report by clicking here.

You’ll be taken to an important presentation where I explain some of the best ways to navigate the current AI landscape, especially as agentic AI gains prominence and the excitement surrounding it clouds investors’ judgment.

During my presentation, I also give away my No. 1 stock pick for free – a company that is widely applying AI across a wide range of industries, including automation, the service business – and even healthcare.
