THIS WEEK’S FOCUS

What if you could review every sector of the S&P 500 — winners, losers, and everything in between — in just twelve minutes? This week's video does exactly that, turning 2025's market performance into something genuinely entertaining.

And as you'll see in this week's stories, the lessons couldn't be more timely — AI is reshaping entire industries overnight, tariffs are rattling markets, and even the world's most anticipated earnings reports are somehow managing to disappoint.

I Hosted the Oscars for Stocks

Imagine the Oscars, but for stocks. This week's video is a fun, twelve-minute tour through the entire S&P 500 in 2025 — sector by sector — handing out awards to the best and worst performers of the year.

From a 268% surge that most investors never noticed to a 67% collapse hiding in plain sight, it's an entertaining way to absorb a year's worth of market lessons without the dry analysis.

TODAY’S PARTNER

This Pre-IPO Stock Is Up 4,000% Already

How do you follow 4,000% valuation growth? By preparing for what’s next. That’s what pre-IPO company Immersed did, reserving the Nasdaq ticker $IMRS.

But the real opportunity for investors is now, before public markets.

Why? Immersed changed the game in extended reality (XR), developing the Meta Quest store’s most popular productivity app. They have more than 1.5M users, including Fortune 500 teams, many who already use it up to 60 hours a week.

But that’s not all. Immersed’s soon-to-be-released XR headset has 2M more pixels than Apple’s Vision Pro for 70% less cost and weight. No wonder they’re projecting $71M in first-year sales.

Immersed is redefining the $250B+ future of work. That’s why 6,000+ investors have already secured pre-IPO shares in Immersed’s growth.

They have partnerships in place with Qualcomm and Samsung. Executives and founders from Palantir, Facebook, Reddit, and Sailpoint invested. You can, too. But there’s no time to waste. Invest in Immersed before the opportunity closes.

IBM Suffers Its Worst Day Since 2000

IBM shares fell 13% after Anthropic published a blog post outlining how its Claude AI could help modernize COBOL — a language that underpins much of IBM's mainframe business. One blog post. One brutal trading session. A stark reminder of how quickly a perceived moat can be questioned.
