I was born on 6 August 1956 in San Francisco, California to Janet and (the late) Richard Hovis.
I grew up in Santa Monica, California where I attended elementary, junior high school, and high school (graduating in 1974), in addition to involvement in sports and recreation (Little League +, the Boy’s Club ++). Further, it was in elementary school – St. Augustine’s By-the -Sea Parish School that I found, and made the choice to truly journey with God.
I attended Arizona State University from 1974 to 1977 – seeking to become an architect, however, I was not accepted, and, as such, I graduated with a Liberal Arts degree.
Upon graduation from Arizona State University, I attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and studied City and Regional Planning at the Master’s level. I successfully completed one (1) year in a two (2) year program – I did not complete the Master’s degree in City and Regional Planning – due to personal reasons.
I returned to Santa Monica where I started (October 1979) my career as graphic designer with Exxon Company, USA. I spent five years with Exxon Company, USA.
While working with Exxon Company, USA I was accepted into architectural school – Sci-Arc in Southern California, however, I did not attend preferring to stay with Exxon..
In 1982 I married Laura Flosi and in April 1983 we had our one and only child – Lauren Alain Hovis – a gift from God.
We moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1984 from Los Angeles, where I went to work as a graphic designer with Kitchell CEM (from 1985 -1987).
From 1987 – 1995 I was an independent contractor, and a registered representative in mortgage finance, financial management, graphic design, and drafting.
Further, I attended the University of Phoenix and successfully obtained a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) in 1982.
I was also a member of the Scottsdale Jaycees, where I became very involved in community events and projects.
In 1994, I accepted a cartography position with the Defense Mapping Agency in Reston, Virginia. As such, I relocated from Phoenix to Reston.
In 1998, I was accepted and worked as a Visual Information Officer with the Central Intelligence Agency. In 2002, I worked as a Support Officer until my retirement (due to a need for shoulder surgery) in September 2018.
Away from my Federal Government service, I have been involved in various organizations and activities in Northern Virginia.
In November of 2011, I married Rebecca Ouellette in Santa Monica, California. I reside in San Tan Valley, AZ with my two hamster - Jess and Timothy, our fish, our lizard - RJ Lizard., and our cats - Pearl and Grey.
As to hobbies, I enjoy playing sports, attending sporting events, mentoring individuals from financial management to hamsters, building models, photography, travel, multimedia design, managing partner for RJ Hamster, and jazz – smooth jazz to a samba or a bossa nova.
Love and God Bless,
Peter – aka RJ Hamster Jo hi

The market just logged the largest gamma squeeze I have ever seen.
The S&P 500 moved 300 points this week against a $120 expected move. That adds up to almost three standard deviations and the third consecutive weekly breach to the upside.
I have recorded expected moves in the SPX all the way back to 2017. Three consecutive breaches in the same direction is completely unheard of in my data.
Microsoft tells the story best. The stock opened the week at $370 with an $11 expected move and closed at $422 for a 4.74 sigma move.
In tonight’s video, I walk through the data driving the squeeze:
The SPX traded 6 million option contracts today with calls slightly outnumbering puts. Institutions normally buy puts as hedges in this product, so this flip tells me retail is piling into call options.
Every SPX strike below 7175 held over 100,000 contracts in open interest from yesterday’s close. Move out to Monday’s expiration and the biggest strike shows only 13,000 contracts.
SPDRs added another 15 million contracts on top of the SPX’s 7 million for over 21 million combined. The QQQ kicked in another 8 million on the same day.
Next week’s SPX expected move sits at $110, only 10% below this week’s $120.Volatility did not collapse during this rally, with the VIX finding a floor near 18.
I am not playing this rally on the long side. My opportunities right now are all on the short side.
Financials remain down 4% on the year while the private credit squeeze keeps building at the major banks. Home builders got swept up in the move despite bond market pressure, and crypto continues to lag the broader index.
I walk through exactly how this gamma feedback loop works and break down three specific short setups I am watching next week.

‘Starlets’ Examines Hollywood’s Early Leading Ladies at 9 pm Sunday
Hollywood’s A-list stars of today owe a lot of credit to Tinsel Town’s original leading ladies.
The stories of the iconic actresses of the Golden Age are featured in Newsmax TV’s new original “Starlets: The Ladies Who Made Hollywood,” which premieres Sunday at 9 p.m.
When to Watch:
9pm ET Starlets: The Ladies Who Made Hollywood Sunday on Newsmax — Find It Here
The new documentary not only takes a look back at the early Hollywood days, and the women who shaped the system for generations to follow, but what these women originally contributed to the industry and how the studio system has changed.
“‘Creating ‘Starlets’ was a journey into the DNA of cinema,” said Philip Hopkins, president of Film Masters, a consortium of historians and film enthusiasts who seek to celebrate and preserve classic film. “We wanted to go beyond the silent frames of the silver screen to show the raw ambition and talent of icons like Clara Bow, Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Crawford, and Bette Davis.”
“These women didn’t just star in movies, they invented the very concept of the modern movie star and built the foundation of the industry we know today,” he added.
Pulling from Film Masters’ vast collection of archival film and images, leading film historians, including Maria Tura and Sloan De Forest, author of the Turner Classic Movies book “The Essential Directors: The Art and Impact of Cinema’s Most Influential Filmmakers,” speak to the subject matter.
Film historian and writer Julie Kirgo also contributed, while historian, film expert, and screenwriter C. Courtney Joyner penned the script. Together, these experts bring to light how these women of early Hollywood paved their own way and expanded roles both in front of and behind the camera.
Specifically, the film looks at Mary Pickford, who lobbied and advocated for actors and fundamentally changed the studio system, to Barbara Stanwyck, who blazed across the screen and pushed the boundaries of what could be done on camera.
The influence of Clara Bow, who challenged societal norms and thrilled audiences in the Jazz Age, and Joan Crawford, who proved she could act across all genres, are also explored.
Directed and edited by Daniel Griffith, it also examines how early Hollywood often found new stars from the stage and how the studio system will continue to change in the future.

How straight is your clubface at impact? Can you control your face angle at impact?Next time you’re at the range, practice deliberately. Hit shots with the face slightly open, slightly closed, and then square.The rotation of the hands and wrists through the golf swing will impact on the face angle at impact. Is your lead wrist cupped or bowed at impact?Check your face angleIt is a very good idea to come and let us check your face angle at impact. We’ll also look at your hand and wrist rotation. There’s a chance we can identify a way to become more accurate.
Book a Swing CheckOr, book a full swing assessmentIf you’ve already decided you want to improve your golf game and your golfing experience, then let’s start with a swing assessment.
Book a Swing AssessmentThe TaylorMade Qi Max is to all intents and purposes a game improvement iron. Forgiving. Higher launch. Longer. But it doesn’t look like it. It doesn’t sound like it. And it doesn’t feel like it.
Revolutionary internal structures change everything. A ‘sound stabilization bar’ connects the rear bar to the top line. The sound is not only improved. The top line also becomes more stable with much less twist. It feels more solid through impact. The new sound bar allows for the Echo Damping Materials to be extended further up towards the top line. Vibration is now reduced.
All parts of the face are then designed to flex in unison. Even a less perfect strike feels and sounds solid. The outcome is also a straighter shot with less fade bias. Would you like a personal experience?We’d love to show you just how much game improvement performance is in an iron that looks, sounds, and feels like a club the best ball strikers would want to use.
Most investors miss a company like this. Here is why this one is different.
In 1997, Amazon was a bookstore. In 2007, Netflix mailed DVDs. The investors who made real money were the ones who recognized what a company was becoming, not just what it was at the time.
1.5M+ professionals have adopted Immersed, inventor of Visor, as their primary workspace. Together, they have logged the equivalent of over 2,000 years of work time inside Immersed’s AR/VR application.
This isn’t a prototype or beta. It’s sustained, daily behavior from real teams, including Fortune 500 companies, who already depend on this platform.
Why 7,000+ investors already committed:
– Valuation has grown 4,000% since founding
– No. 1 productivity app in the Meta Quest Store
– Strategic partnerships with Meta, Intel, Qualcomm, and Samsung
– $28M+ already raised from retail investors like you
– Previous Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger invested personally
– NASDAQ ticker reserved: $IMRS
– Early investors qualify for up to 20% bonus shares
Pre-IPO shares are currently available at $0.72. Once the share price moves, this entry point is gone.
The minimum investment is $999. And unlike most private deals, this one’s open to retail investors through a Regulation A+ offering, the same structure Newsmax used to raise $75 million before its own IPO.
Coverage has appeared in Time, Wired, Forbes, CNET, and TechCrunch. The company has also received backing from founders and executives at Facebook, Reddit, and SailPoint.
Immersed is offering securities through the use of an Offering Statement that has been qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Tier II of Regulation A. A copy of the Final Offering Circular may be obtained here. The valuation is set by the Company and there is currently no public market for the Company’s Common Stock. NASDAQ ticker “IMRS” has been reserved by Immersed and any potential listing is subject to future regulatory approval and market conditions.

Editor’s Note: Recently, we met with a fintech CEO. He told us about a system he created after tracking $29 billion. A website that shows you the day’s best trades, 90 minutes before they occur, by using AI on 2,467 stocks. At first, it sounded like “pie in the sky” – until we saw the results. Read on…
– Stephen Prior, Publisher
Log Into Keith’s $5,000 AI Signals Trading System
Dear Reader,
Today, we’re sharing a new AI “trade detector” for 2026.
Each morning, it shows you the most lucrative trades taking shape – 90 minutes before they occur.
Last year alone, it returned 124% in a backtest, crushing the market nearly 3-fold in a model portfolio.
We developed this system by using AI on a new “micro” level most people have never seen before. In fact, we used the same platform that helped us call last year’s crash and rally (even posting a free pick that doubled in 4 months).
So far, our 2026 beta results have been remarkable…
37.7% gain in 33 days on 22% gain in 6 days on (ALB) 21.4% gain in 4 days on (DECK) 21.3% gain in 30 days on (HWM) 20.2% gain in 15 days on (SDNK) 18.3% gain in 16 days on (GRMN) 15.4% gain in 7 days on (TPR) 15.2% gain in 7 days on (EFX) 15% gain in 2 days on (DASH) 14.9% gain in 30 days on (LMT) 14.2% gain in 5 days on (TER) 14% gain in 2 days on (DDOG) 13.9% gain in 1 day on (PAYC) 13.4% gain in 6 days on (EME) 12.6% gain in 8 days on (FCX) 11.9% gain in 1 day on (ALGN)
