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

Small Cap Spike: Semi Stock AEHR Up +40% in 2026 Post-Earnings
Written by Leo Miller on January 21, 2026
Key Takeaways
Aehr Test Systems has soared in the first weeks of 2026, with the catalyst being the firm’s latest earnings.
While the EV market puts pressure on sales, the company is seeing strong momentum in AI-driven demand.
Aehr’s opportunity is large, but uncertainty and a high valuation still cloud the stock’s outlook.
For shares of Aehr Test Systems (NASDAQ: AEHR), it’s hard to imagine a hotter start to 2026. As of the Jan. 20 close, the stock is already up 44% on the year.
The most recent earnings release on Jan. 8 provided mixed signals, but ultimately helped the stock shoot up 16% the next day. With revenues falling, but millions in new artificial intelligence (AI) orders coming in, what does the future hold for the semiconductor stock?
President Trump just approved two long-stalled mining projects tied to strategic U.S. minerals — including silver, which recently broke $68 after soaring 129% last year.
So why should you care?
Because silver isn’t acting like a traditional metal anymore. It’s become essential for AI, energy, and defense… and demand is climbing faster than U.S. supply can keep up. When that happens, prices don’t rise slowly — they can reprice overnight.>> See why this matters for your savings
AEHR’s Earnings: Revenues Plummet, But Booking Projections Come in Strong
On Jan. 8, Aehr reported its Q2 fiscal 2026 (FY2026) earnings. (Note that Aehr’s fiscal reporting period is ahead of the calendar period.) The results painted a mixed picture. The firm recorded revenue of $9.9 million, down 27% year-over-year (YOY) and significantly below the $11.5 million analysts had forecast.
However, Aehr’s adjusted loss per share (EPS) was significantly better than expected, coming in at a loss of 4 cents versus an estimated loss of 8 cents.
The company’s adjusted net loss was $1.3 million, compared with a net income of about $700,000 last year. Notably, the company’s effective backlog increased from $17.5 million in the prior quarter to $18.3 million.
Despite negative earnings news, Aehr’s management provided guidance that was a bright spot in the report.
Over the next two quarters combined, Aehr expects revenue of $25 million to $30 million. This compares to the $32.3 million in revenue Aehr generated in the back half of its fiscal 2025. Aehr also projects bookings of $60 million to $80 million during this period. These bookings can then translate into significant revenue during fiscal 2027.
Bookings coming through and translating into revenue in FY2027 would put Aehr solidly back in growth mode. Based on the company’s guidance, total revenue in FY2026 will be between $46 million and $51 million. The expectation that Aehr’s business will begin to recover stems from its growing presence in the artificial intelligence (AI) market.
AI-Optimism Fuels AEHR as SiC Takes a Backseat
Aehr also said on Jan. 8 that it received over $5.5 million in additional orders for its Sonoma systems. Aehr notes that these orders came from multiple “leading-edge AI companies.” Sonoma demand is accelerating—less than halfway through its fiscal Q3, the company has already received more orders than in all of fiscal Q2.
While Sonoma and AI-driven demand are key growth drivers for Aehr, it is important to understand why the company’s revenue is still declining steeply despite these drivers.
Previously, Aehr saw significant demand from the electric vehicle market. Customers used its FOX-P family of products to stress-test power chips based on silicon carbide (SiC), resulting in strong revenue growth from 2021 to 2023.
SiC-based devices provide substantial benefits over EV power chip technologies that currently dominate the market. This includes the ability to extend EV range by 5% to 10%and cut charging time in half. Aehr believesthat most, if not all, EV companies will move toward SiC-based technology in the future.
However, slowing growth in the EV markethas hurt SiC demand more recently. As SiC demand was previously the company’s largest revenue driver, and AI-driven revenue is still small in comparison, Aehr’s overall sales are dropping.
Pursuant to this, Aehr says that the bulk of its expected bookings are AI-driven, while attributing “not very much at all” of them to SiC. Furthermore, Aehr believes that initial AI customers will expand their orders meaningfully during 2027 and 2028. The company estimates that the AI test-and-burn-in market is between $8 billion and $10 billion today and could reach $15 billion. Clearly, Aehr’s revenues and potential bookings are very small in comparison, providing a large growth opportunity.
Gold Above $5,000 per Ounce in 2026! Here’s How to Play It…
With so many strange events happening across the economy (consumer confidence plummeting, credit-card delinquencies soaring, and more), it’s no wonder the richest investors are loading up on gold. But what you might not realize is that there’s a much better way to profit from rising gold prices – WITHOUT ever touching an ETF, mining stock, or even bullion.Get the full details here.
AEHR: AI-Upside Is Real for This Unproven Player
Aehr’s outlook shifted in a significantly positive direction after its latest financial updates. Still, based on FY2027 estimates, the stock trades at more than 12 times its forward sales. That is not a cheap figure.
However, further momentum in the company’s AI business over the next several quarters could lead to a significant increase in sales estimates. But there is no guarantee that this will materialize, or that Aehr will meet expectations that are already set. Aehr continues to be a stock with strong upside potential, but also prevalent risks.
Investors enter a packed earnings week with markets holding near key technical levels. While the S&P 500 remains rangebound, the Russell 2000 has emerged as a leader—breaking to new highs in recent sessions and setting the tone for small-cap outperformance. The pattern suggests a shift in risk appetite, but the broader trend remains cautious ahead of key catalysts.
Steel Dynamics kicked off the week with Monday morning’s earnings report, offering early insight into the industrial economy. It’s just the beginning—other major reports from UnitedHealth, UPS, Whirlpool, and Tractor Supply are still to come. These names will provide updates across healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, and retail, helping investors gauge the strength and breadth of the economic recovery.
On the macro front, all eyes are on the Fed. Wednesday’s FOMC meeting won’t likely bring a rate cut, but investors will be watching closely for any change in tone. With inflation still above target and labor markets holding steady, the Fed has reason to stay cautious. Last week’s mixed data—solid jobless claims, stable GDP trends, and modest inflation readings—offered little urgency for a policy shift.
Markets aren’t in crisis mode, but momentum is fragile. Many companies are guiding cautiously for Q1, though full-year outlooks remain largely intact. With earnings season accelerating and the Fed set to weigh in, this week could shape sentiment well into February.
Healthcare stocks rallied in 2025, breaking a two-year slump as investors chased steadier rates, better valuations, and improving earnings. The problem: mid-single-digit gains still lagged tech, leaving the sector feeling like a missed opportunity. For investors still hunting for healthcare growt…READ THE FULL STORY

VWAV: The Defense-AI Opportunity Most Investors Are Missing as Global Military Spending Accelerates into a New Era.
VisionWave Holdings (NASDAQ: V WAV) Could Emerge as One of the Most Important Small-Cap Defense-AI Stories of 2026.
Greetings All,
Defense Spending Is Surging—and the Nature of Warfare Is Changing!
In today’s geopolitical environment, defense is no longer a discretionary budget item—it is a strategic imperative. Global military spending has surged to $2.7 trillion annually, and much of that capital is being funneled toward artificial intelligence, autonomy, and real-time decision systems.
As nations modernize their forces and prepare for a new generation of threats, a small group of companies is positioning itself at the heart of this transformation.
One of the most under-the-radar names in that group is VisionWave Holdings (NASDAQ: VWAV), a defense-AI company that stands out not for hype, but for architecture, validation, and real-world deployment potential.
From Private Innovator to Nasdaq-Listed Defense Platform
VisionWave’s 2025 Nasdaq debut, completed through its merger with Bannix Acquisition Corp., marked a pivotal shift in the company’s trajectory. Moving to the public markets unlocked institutional access, expanded financing options, and eligibility for multi-year government contracts—critical prerequisites in defense procurement.
Unlike many speculative startups, VWAV now operates as a public, deployment-ready defense technology company with an expanding global footprint that includes the U.S., Israel, the UAE, India, and Europe.
Evolved Intelligence™: AI Designed for the Battlefield, Not the Cloud
At the core of VisionWave’sdifferentiation is its proprietary Evolved Intelligence™ (EI) platform. Unlike cloud-dependent AI systems, EI is purpose-built to function at the edge—where connectivity is unreliable and latency can be fatal.
The platform fuses AI reasoning, sensor fusion, RF intelligence, and deterministic autonomy into a single architecture capable of perceiving, deciding, and acting independently. This design allows autonomous drones, ground systems, and sensing platforms to operate effectively in real-world combat environments, where traditional GPU-heavy, cloud-reliant AI models often fail.
Technology That Works Where Others Can’t
Third-party validation is rare and valuable in defense technology, and VisionWave has secured it.
The November 2025 Vanderbilt Report highlighted VWAV’s patented RF-AI co-design and its ability to operate under extreme SWaP (Size, Weight, Power) constraints.
While conventional AI systems drain power and depend on persistent connectivity, VisionWave’s lightweight, heuristic-first architecture conserves energy and extends mission duration.
The report concluded that VWAV’s approach is extraordinarily difficult to replicate, even for well-funded competitors—an important signal for long-term defensibility!
Capital Strength and Real-World Defense Pilots
VisionWave’s growth strategy is supported by a $50 million equity line and immediate strategic funding, allowing the company to scale without relying on high-burn venture capital models.
This capital is being deployed to accelerate pilots, system integrations, and international expansion. Importantly, VWAV’s technology has already been proven in Tier-1 defense pilots, including live-fire testing in the UAE and active evaluations with U.S. defense stakeholders.
These are not theoretical demonstrations—they are real-world validations that can evolve into long-term revenue pipelines.
Leadership That Opens Doors in Global Defense Markets
Defense contracts are built on trust as much as innovation. VisionWave has strengthened its credibility with the addition of Admiral (Ret.) Eli Marom and Ambassador (Ret.) Ned L. Siegel to its advisory board.
Their command-level military experience and diplomatic expertise enhance VWAV’s ability to navigate procurement processes and convert pilots into multi-year production contracts. This is particularly relevant as the global defense radar market alone is projected to nearly double to $24.1 billion by 2034.
Multi-Domain Expansion Across Air, Land, and Infrastructure
VisionWave is not limiting itself to a single battlefield domain. The acquisition of Solar Drone adds autonomous aerial capabilities for defense and critical energy infrastructure, while upcoming Varan UGV field testing in Europe marksVWAV’s expansion into next-generation ground warfare.
Combined with its RF imaging, super-resolution radar, and AI sensing stack, VisionWave is building a full-spectrum autonomy platform spanning air, land, and infrastructure applications—aligned with how modern militaries are evolving.
Acquisition of QuantumSpeed: A Game-Changer for Real-Time Defense Computing
VisionWave strategically acquired QuantumSpeed™, a cutting-edge computational acceleration engine currently in proof-of-concept and system architecture development, to address one of the most acute challenges in modern defense systems: collapsing decision latency.
Unlike traditional approaches that rely on brute-force hardware upgrades, QuantumSpeed restructures computation through a Hybrid Successive Approximation framework that prioritizes mission-critical calculations first—enabling faster, real-time outcomes where speed can mean operational success or failure.
The acquisition was unanimously approved by VisionWave’s board following an independent valuation by BDO Consulting Group that placed the intellectual property’s worth at approximately $99.6 million, reflecting its potential strategic value.
By integrating QuantumSpeed into its technology portfolio and newly formed joint venture platform, VWAV is positioning itself to accelerate the development and integration of advanced computational capabilities across defense, autonomous systems, and other latency-sensitive applications—potentially transforming how AI-driven defense architectures perform in contested environments.
The Bottom Line
VisionWave Holdings is no longer just an emerging defense-AI concept. It is a validated, patented, and increasingly institutionalized platform company aligned with the future of autonomous warfare and real-time intelligence.
With independent technology validation, proven defense pilots, elite advisory leadership, expanding international pipelines, and capital to scale, VWAV appears positioned for a potential inflection point as programs move from testing to adoption in 2026 and beyond.
VWAV stands out as a small-cap defense-AI opportunity that many have yet to fully appreciate.

The Digital Dollar Reset is no longer a conspiracy theory. It is already alive inside the banking system – and February 12 may mark the beginning of the lock-in phase.
Under the GENIUS Act, signed into law by President Trump in 2025, “stable coins” were authorized as the bridge between traditional dollars and fully programmable digital currency.
This rollout isn’t happening all at once. It’s happening quietly. In phases. With compliance baked in – making your cash flow programmable, trackable, and controllable.
Stable coins are not money. They are PERMISSION.
And permission can be REVOKED.
If you operate outside approved rules, limits, or behavior, access can be restricted or shut off – instantly.
Here’s what you’re seeing right now, whether you realize it or not:
JPMorgan is increasingly overlapping with national security priorities, including reported involvement in domestic metals processing tied to Department of Defense interests. When banking and national security merge, control always follows.
The U.S. Treasury has suspended sales of silver numismatic products. Not delayed. Suspended. Replacement costs exceeded published valuations – a signal of a system collapse.
At the same time:
Compliance is being hard-wired directly into JPMorgan’s banking structure
Internal regulators have been replaced with AI compliance systems
AI now judges transactions – not people
This is how transitions happen.
Not with announcements. With restrictions.
The dollar system you know is being re-scaffolded.

If $68 billion were being handed out tomorrow, you’d expect to hear about it everywhere.
But according to Brad Thomas — a former advisor to President Trump — the media and Wall Street don’t want you to know about the up to $68 billion up for grabs.
In other words, that’s $8 million being paid out EVERY hour.
And these payouts were just reinforced by a mandate signed into law by President Trump.
This is money that must be paid out by Federal law every single year — no matter what happens in the market.

Is Abbott’s January Pullback a Good Time to Buy?
By Thomas Hughes. Article Published: 1/24/2026.
In Brief
Abbott Laboratories’ January pullback looks driven more by sentiment than fundamentals, putting shares back near a prior accumulation zone.
Quarterly results showed solid sales growth, improving margins, and faster adjusted earnings growth despite a revenue miss.
A long dividend-growth track record and potential upside implied by analyst targets underpin the bullish rebound case.
Abbott Laboratories’ (NYSE: ABT) January 2026 price pullback makes the stock look attractively valued. The move—driven more by market angst than by any clear company weakness—appears to be a knee-jerk overreaction that has returned the shares to a buy zone.
Amazon has quietly poured $144 million into a secretive AI chip company, and committed to buying a staggering $650 million of their product. Why? Because this obscure startup holds the key to unleashing the full potential of Nvidia’s revolutionary Blackwell chip.Discover the company at the heart of the AI arms race.
The zone in question aligns with market action from 2022–2024, when Abbott was recovering from its post-COVID-19 revenue contraction and institutions were actively accumulating the stock.
Abbott Laboratories Growth Accelerates
The most that can be said against Abbott’s Q4 results and guidance is that a few metrics missed market expectations. Still, revenue of $11.46 billion was up 4.5% year over year, margins improved, and adjusted earnings accelerated.
Revenue growth lagged consensus by several hundred basis points, but stronger margins offset much of that, with adjusted earnings per share (EPS) rising about 12% and coming in slightly above consensus.
Segment results underscore the strength of Abbott’s diversified healthcare portfolio.
Nutrition and Diagnostic saw declines, led by a nearly 9% drop in Nutrition, but those weaknesses were offset by solid gains in Established Pharmaceuticals and Med Tech.
Established Pharmaceuticals grew roughly 9%, helped by generics and emerging-market strength, while Med Tech expanded about 12.3%, with broad-based strength across its subsegments.
Margin improvement was a positive takeaway, even if some measures fell short of certain analyst forecasts. A favorable product mix, strength in Med Tech, lower COVID-19-related sales and ongoing operational improvements supported margins, and management expects continued progress.
Looking ahead, the company projects roughly 10% earnings growth in 2026, outpacing revenue growth and supporting its capital-return plans.
Abbott’s capital returns are central to the investment case. As a Dividend King, Abbott has raised its payout annually for more than 50 years and appears positioned to continue doing so. After the pullback the stock yields about 2.5%, and the payout ratio is under 50% of consensus earnings, leaving room for share buybacks—an important offset to the dilutive effects of share-based compensation—and other shareholder returns (see analysis).
Analysts Point to Robust Rebound in Abbott Laboratories Stock
Some analysts noted the revenue miss, but there were no major rating cuts or price-target reductions the morning of the release. The prevailing view remains that this is a fundamentally healthy company that can continue returning capital while reinvesting in growth.
The MarketBeat-consensus share price target implies potential upside of as much as 30%, which could push the stock to new all-time highs, while even the low-end targets imply modest upside from current levels.
Key catalysts include an expanding Med Tech portfolio, AI integration across operations and products, margin expansion and strategic acquisitions.
The proposed acquisition of Exact Sciences is one example of how Abbott can broaden its revenue and profit streams and strengthen its product pipeline.
Abbott’s share decline has been steep and could deepen, but institutional investors accumulated shares throughout 2025 and may act as buyers now that prices are discounted.
Early technical support appears in the $105–$110 range, though it is not yet confirmed. The downside risk is that ABT could slide further to the lower end of the target buy zone—potentially toward the $95 area—before staging a sustained rebound.

3 ETFs Combining Market-Beating Performance and ESG Goals
Submitted by Nathan Reiff. First Published: 1/22/2026.
Key Points
ESG is increasingly important as a criterion for selecting investment targets, with a growing number of ETFs dedicated to ESG-focused names.
Three ETFs with an ESG approach stand out in 2026 not only for their strategies but also for their performance: each has surpassed the S&P 500 over the last year, with total returns of around 29% or more.
Both EASG and NUDM target ESG companies from developed markets outside the United States, while CHPS has a narrower focus on semiconductor stocks.
No longer reserved for niche strategies, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles are becoming a major consideration for investors as climate change, geopolitics, and energy usage take on greater importance across industries. PricewaterhouseCoopers has predicted that ESG will remain a dominant theme in exchange-traded fund (ETF) launches. ESG ETFs let investors emphasize companies prioritizing sustainability and other ESG objectives without having to evaluate each firm’s compliance individually.
ESG matters to many investors, but an ESG allocation is only compelling if it can also deliver strong returns. Fortunately, several ESG-focused ETFs have been outperforming the market and look positioned to continue doing so.
Non-U.S. Focus Provides Diversification, But Liquidity May Be an Issue for EASG
If your retirement savings are sitting entirely in stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, you are fully exposed to forces you cannot control. Rate policy. Government debt. Currency risk. Market panic.
History shows this clearly. When financial systems reset, paper assets take the hit first.
That’s why central banks and institutions are doing something very telling right now.Access the Free Guide
The Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Selection Equity ETF (NYSEARCA: EASG) screens for ESG-focused companies in developed markets outside North America. EASG tracks the MSCI EAFE Selection Index—an index of mid- and large-cap companies that meet ESG criteria—and further narrows the universe to firms in the top 50% by market cap within that index.
The result is a portfolio of roughly 350 names that tilts toward financials, industrials, and information technology.
Japanese companies represent about a quarter of the holdings, followed by the United Kingdom, France, and other markets across Europe and Asia. As a result, EASG’s basket is more geographically diversified than some other ESG ETFs.
However, its assets under management (AUM) are relatively low at about $65 million, and its one-month average trading volume is roughly 4,100—figures that may raise liquidity concerns for more active traders.
Investors may still favor EASG if it maintains recent momentum. The fund returned 28.5% over the past year, offers a compelling dividend yield of 4.11%, and carries a modest expense ratio of 0.14%.
Similar Approach to EASG, But Better Liquidity and Returns Alongside Higher Fees
For a higher fee of 0.28%, NUDM offers a more concentrated portfolio of 157 stocks drawn from countries such as the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Germany, and France.
Financials and industrials make up the largest portions of the portfolio, followed by healthcare and information technology.
Given the overlap between EASG and NUDM, investors would likely choose one or the other rather than hold both.
Although NUDM is costlier, it has posted stronger recent performance, returning 32.3% over the past year.
Though lower than EASG’s, NUDM’s dividend yield of 2.72% is still healthy. Another advantage NUDM holds over EASG is liquidity: the fund has about $636 million in AUM and a one-month average trading volume near 103,000. Those figures give NUDM an edge over EASG, even if they remain modest compared with some large non-ESG funds.
Competitive Semiconductor ETF With Strong Returns
For a different angle within ESG, consider the Xtrackers Semiconductor Select Equity ETF (NASDAQ: CHPS). CHPS focuses on semiconductor companies that meet sustainability criteria, producing a relatively small portfolio of just over 50 positions. Nearly two-thirds of the holdings are U.S. companies, with Asian firms making up roughly a quarter.
This makes CHPS a solid semiconductor ETF with the added benefit of ESG screening. Its expense ratio of 0.15% is also competitive for the category.
CHPS has returned more than 14% year-to-date in 2026 and an impressive 71.7% over the past 12 months.
The trade-off is liquidity: CHPS has AUM under $24 million and a one-month average trading volume around 15,000, which could concern investors seeking highly liquid positions.
