📚 5 RULES TO FOLLOW BEFORE YOU MAKE A TRADE
A professional trader with nearly 30 years in the markets shared the research process he follows every day:
1. Take care of yourself first
Tired, hungry, dehydrated, or unfocused? Trade lighter. Your decision-making matters as much as your strategy.
2. Start with the big picture
Check inflation, interest rates, the Fed, economic data, and major news. Even a great stock setup can fail if the overall market is moving against it.
3. Find where the action is
Look for sectors seeing unusual movement — AI, semiconductors, banks, crypto, etc. Then find the stocks likely to move with the leaders.
4. Build your trade list
Combine the market environment, the strongest sectors, and your strategy to decide what is actually worth trading that day.
5. Study yesterday’s trades
Review what worked AND what didn’t. Losing trades often teach you more than winners.
BullBuzz Takeaway: Trading is like flying a plane. The decisions shouldn’t begin once you’re in the air. Research, build the plan, then execute it when the market opens.

HAS ANYONE BEEN WATCHING $GME LATELY? 👀🚀
GameStop is up nearly 31% over the past month, trading around $27.60.
CEO Ryan Cohen just bought another $22.8 MILLION worth of shares, continuing a buying spree that’s pushed his ownership to roughly 9%.
The repeated buying is hard to ignore, especially with $GME already rallying.
Is GameStop setting up for another run? If so, what is Ryan Cohen planning for GameStop’s future?
$MU is a clear buy; it's trading at just 6–7x forward earnings, which is incredibly cheap for a company benefiting this much from AI. The market discounts it because memory chips have historically been cyclical, but I think AI demand is changing that dynamic.
That said, never recommend going all-in on one ticker.
SIX FLAGS PLUNGES 14% AFTER FATAL ROLLER-COASTER INCIDENT 🎢📉
$FUN fell to around $10.20, its lowest closing price since 2009, after a deadly incident at Six Flags Over Georgia.
One person died, and several others were injured. The company has temporarily shut down similar roller coasters at other parks while it investigates the incident.
Six Flags was already struggling with disappointing earnings and declining investor confidence.
Will customers feel comfortable returning?
LIQUIDIA EXPLODES 46% AFTER HOURS 🚀💊
$LQDA is surging after settling its long-running legal battle with $UTHR.
Liquidia agreed to pay $380.7 million to end six lawsuits and protect continued sales of YUTREPIA, its key drug for treating high blood pressure in the lungs.
The stock previously crashed after losing a major patent ruling.
Investors seem to be celebrating the removal of a major threat to Liquidia’s business.
Is this an overreaction, given that they still paid nearly $381 million, or is $LQDA back now that it’s keeping its biggest drug on the market?
BANK OF AMERICA HIT WITH A MASSIVE $1.2 BILLION FINE 🚨🏦
$BAC is down almost 3% today after U.S. regulators found the bank failed to monitor trillions of dollars in transactions properly.
Officials say Bank of America failed to report over $5 billion in suspicious activity, including transactions potentially linked to Chinese money-laundering networks, drug trafficking, and fraud.
The fine is the third-largest in Treasury Department history and will reduce the bank’s upcoming quarterly profits.
Regulators say the bank knew about these failures for years and didn’t fix them adequately. Not only does that make me cautious about investing, but it’s also making me want to load up on bearish positions at the open tomorrow.
Stay tuned for the positions …
AMERICA IS SOBERING UP🍻📉
Gallup says fewer Americans are drinking than ever before, with health concerns driving the decline.

REDDIT AND X ARE WATCHING VERY DIFFERENT STOCKS 👀📊
Today’s Retail Pulse from our BullBuzz Daily Newsletter shows where everyday traders are focusing their attention.
Reddit:
• $MU leads the conversation as memory-chip stocks sell off.
• $SNDK and $RDDT are drawing increased attention.
• $MSFT is getting bullish interest.
X:
• $GS is trending after strong earnings.
• $UNH is getting attention after raising its profit outlook.
• $WFC faces pressure following a revenue miss.
• $IREN is being watched amid AI-stock weakness.
Watch how much attention struggling tech stocks are attracting. Traders seem split between buying the dip and worrying about further losses.
Are retail investors spotting bargains or catching falling knives?
SPACEX IS PUTTING SERIOUS PRESSURE ON AST SPACEMOBILE 🚨
$ASTS has plunged nearly 19% over the past week, falling to around $47.50.
Piper Sandler just downgraded the stock and slashed its price target from $98 to $54.
Here’s the issues I see:
• SpaceX is expanding its ability to connect regular smartphones directly to satellites.
• ASTS is taking longer than expected to launch the satellites needed to build its network.
Is this a buying opportunity or is SpaceX winning the satellite race?
$ASTS $SPCX
BUMBLE JUST SWIPED RIGHT ON A $1.3 BILLION BUYOUT 🐝
$BMBL is exploding 56% today after agreeing to be acquired by Ithaca Holdings for $1.3 billion.
Shareholders will receive $6.05 per share in cash, a massive 138% premium to the stock’s price before takeover reports surfaced.
Once completed, Bumble will become a private company, meaning its shares will no longer trade on the stock market.
Bumble is selling because its paying users fell 16.4% last quarter.
Is the dating app era losing its appeal, or are other apps like Tinder and Hinge monopolizing?
$BMBL $MTCH
QUALCOMM COULD SAVE $1.5 BILLION IN CHIP PAYMENTS 👀
$QCOM is up 2.4% as investors react to reports of a favorable jury verdict in its legal battle with $ARM.
Qualcomm pays Arm licensing fees to use technology behind its smartphone chips.
Now Qualcomm is seeking permission to stop those payments for up to five years, potentially saving around $1.5 billion.
A judge still needs to decide whether that contract provision can be enforced.
What could this mean for $QCOM if this officially goes through?
$QCOM $ARM
FERMI STOCK EXPLODES 19% AFTER AMD PARTNERSHIP 🚀
$FRMI is surging after announcing a major agreement with $AMD to support its massive AI data-center project in Texas.
AMD will provide financial backing tied to the project’s first phase, which is designed to deliver 222 megawatts of power.
The companies also outlined plans for a potential expansion to 650 megawatts.
AI needs enormous amounts of electricity, and Fermi is building the infrastructure to supply it.
This is a big credibility boost for Fermi. Having AMD involved could make it easier to secure the financing needed to get the project built.
It is now obvious that electricity becoming the most valuable part of the AI boom.
$FRMI $AMD
IONQ’S NEW DEAL IS ABOUT MORE THAN CYBERSECURITY
$IONQ CEO Niccolo de Masi says the proposed Elisity acquisition could bring more than 100 customer deployments into IonQ’s growing business.
IonQ wants to sell those same customers its quantum-security technology, designed to protect sensitive information from future threats.
That means more potential customers, more products to sell, and new opportunities with businesses and governments.
IonQ is buying access to customers who could help turn that technology into revenue.
It’s starting to look like this expensive growth will turn into smart expansion.

WALL STREET SEES A MASSIVE OPPORTUNITY IN HUMANOID ROBOTS 🤖
J.P. Morgan expects humanoid robots to start working in factories and warehouses before eventually expanding into stores, homes, and elderly care.
These machines still need to see their surroundings, sense pressure when picking things up, and process information fast enough to react safely.
These companies could benefit:
• $VPG — Sensors that help robots feel movement and pressure.
• $OUST — Laser technology that helps robots see in 3D.
• $OSS — Powerful computers that help machines process information.
I think the biggest robotics winners will be the ones supplying the technology inside them.
Would you rather own the robot manufacturer or its suppliers?
APPLE WANTS TO MAKE YOUR HOME SMART!
$AAPL just unveiled HomeView, a $299 AI-powered display designed to become the control center of your house.
It recognizes up to 6 different people, personalizes Siri for each person, and lets you control cameras, door locks, lights, and more.
You can even make FaceTime calls and access your calendar or messages.
Apple’s biggest advantage is the millions of people that are already in its ecosystem.
Apple is now taking on $AMZN and $GOOGL in the battle to bring AI into everyday homes.
Would you spend $299 on the Apple HomeView?
COULD QUANTUM COMPUTING MAKE IPHONE BATTERIES LAST LONGER?
Infleqtion’s CTO says quantum computers could eventually help scientists discover battery materials capable of dramatically improving battery life.
Quantum processors would work alongside traditional CPUs and $NVDA GPUs to solve problems today’s computers struggle with.
And Infleqtion ($INFQ) recently demonstrated 30 logical qubits using just 80 physical qubits, an important step toward making quantum computers more reliable.
The real opportunity is discovering things today’s computers can’t.
The battery breakthrough remains hypothetical, but the potential applications are insane.
$INFQ $NVDA $AAPL $IONQ
AI STORAGE STOCKS ARE GETTING HAMMERED 📉
$WDC is down nearly 5.5% premarket, extending a selloff across memory and data-storage companies.
Investors are worried about increasing competition from China and reports that Toshiba plans to expand production of hard drives used in data centers.
Western Digital makes the massive storage drives that help AI companies store enormous amounts of information.
More competition could eventually pressure prices and profits, even as AI demand continues growing.
Investors are starting to question whether every company benefiting from the AI boom can maintain its pricing power.
Is this a healthy pullback or an early warning for AI infrastructure stocks?
$WDC $STX $MU
UNITEDHEALTH UP AFTER CRUSHING EARNINGS EXPECTATIONS 📈
$UNH is climbing premarket after reporting stronger-than-expected Q3 results.
• Earnings: $4.69/share vs. $4.15 expected
• Revenue: $112.7B vs. $111.4B expected
• 2026 outlook: Raised expected earnings to at least $20.50/share
The biggest improvement came from controlling medical costs, meaning UnitedHealth is keeping more of the money it collects from insurance premiums.
This is an encouraging sign for a company that’s struggled with rising healthcare costs.
Is $UNH finally turning things around?
THE S&P 500 IS HIDING A MASSIVE DIVIDE IN THE STOCK MARKET 👀
The correlation between the regular S&P 500 and a version that gives all 500 companies equal importance has fallen to roughly 0.67, an unusually low level.
For years, these two versions of the market generally moved almost identically. This is no longer the case.
The regular $SPY gives large-cap companies much more influence because of their enormous size, while $RSP gives every company roughly the same weight.
And despite the S&P 500 gaining around 14% this year, more than 40% of its stocks are actually down.
This helps explain how the S&P 500 can finish nearly flat even when individual stocks are seeing much bigger moves.
Trading activity was also reportedly near multidecade lows, while headlines surrounding China’s semiconductor industry and the Russia/Ukraine conflict added another layer of uncertainty.
Are we seeing a healthy market, or just a handful of companies keeping the indexes afloat?
$SPY $QQQ $RSP
IonQ CEO @NiccoloDeMasi appeared on @business Open Interest this morning discussing Q-Day, the increasing need for cybersecurity in the quantum era, and the company's planned acquisition of Zero Trust security firm @ElisityInc.
