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
Big Risk, Potentially Bigger Return For These 3 Leveraged ETF’s
Written by Nathan Reiff on January 18, 2026
Summary
Despite a climb of 17% in the last year in the S&P 500, market turbulence may present opportunities for leveraged ETFs to shine.
2x leveraged funds focused on silver or crude oil futures can capitalize on the precious metals rally and on quick changes in the oil market driven by geopolitical developments.
A narrowly focused leveraged play on the FANG stocks and several other major tech names provides a bet that some of these leaders will return to outperforming in 2026.
With the S&P continuing its upward climb into 2026 despite broad economic uncertainty, investors who feel bullish may be able to capitalize on ascending stocksand commodities with the help of leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
At the same time, these ETFs present an unusually high level of risk and require active investor engagement, so they’re likely not right for everyone. Two commodities funds—focused on the red-hot silver market and on crude oil, respectively—and one targeting major tech and internet companies might appeal to investors willing to make a high-risk, potentially high-reward play.
Double Leverage on Silver For Those Betting the Rally Will Continue
Active traders bullish on the day-to-day price movements of silver bullion may find it worthwhile to take a chance on the ProShares Ultra Silver ETF (NYSEARCA: AGQ). AGQ provides 2x leverage on the Bloomberg Silver Subindex, with a daily reset that ensures positions turned over each day do not suffer from compounding.
Because of the limited options for investors seeking direct exposure to silver via futures contracts, AGQ can be a useful tool for increasing access without spending additional cash. As a rolling index, the Bloomberg Silver Subindex does not own any commodities directly, but rather focuses exclusively on futures.
AGQ’s fee is on par with many other 2x leveraged commodities funds at 0.95%, so investors can expect to spend a bit more on this ETF compared to non-leveraged funds for the opportunity for greater returns.
The fund is not huge, with about $3 billion in assets under management (AUM), but it does have strong liquidity based on a one-month average trading volume above 7 million.
As a leveraged fund that resets daily, it may not make sense for investors to focus on returns over longer periods. However, given that the price of silver has nearly tripled in the last year during an incredible and sustained rally, investors expecting this trend to continue might consider AGQ a risk worth taking.
Equal-Weight Exposure to FANG+ Names, But Trading Volumes Are Low
2025 was a volatile year for the so-called FANG stocks (and many other companies adjacent to them in the tech space), but Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) emerged as one standout with returns of about 65% for the year. The MicroSectors FANG+ Index 2X Leveraged ETN (NYSEARCA: FNGO) may appeal to investors expecting some of the most prominent tech names in the country to gain momentum in the new year.
Like the underlying index, FNGO assigns relatively equal weight to each holding, ensuring that the largest names by market value don’t exert an outsized influence on the fund’s performance.
Like AGQ above, FNGO has an expense ratio of 0.95% and has 2x leverage that resets on a daily basis.
Investors should consider FNGO a targeted, short-term access point to this group of companies that might perform especially well on a day in which the tech space enjoys a unique upward price catalyst. Beware, however, that liquidity may be a concern given the fund’s low average trading volume.
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.
Despite High Cost and Risks, UCO Can Magnify Oil Gains
The beginning of 2026 could be a particularly volatile time for the oil market, as the potential for continued U.S. intervention in Venezuela and Iran is likely to keep prices moving.
Investors seeing the possibility of a big one-day increase in the price of oil should consider the ProShares Ultra DJ-UBS Crude Oil ETF (NYSEARCA: UCO), which can pay off in these cases despite its high 1.43% expense ratio.
With a healthy level of trading activity, active investors should not find it prohibitive to trade the UCO on a short-term basis, which is also necessary in the case of this fund due to its daily reset.
UCO also focuses on oil futures, which means it mostly moves in connection with the spot price of oil but will not necessarily do so all of the time.
Nonetheless, its 2x leverage is a powerful way to potentially amplify positive price changes in the oil market at a time when those are likely to be comparatively easy to find.
On January 19th, 2026, President Trump is expected to sign an executive order that will reshape the global economy.
No Congressional approval needed.
Just one signature…
And he will ban exports of something every tech company on Earth desperately needs.
It’s not semiconductors.
It’s not AI chips or quantum computers.
But none of these technologies can exist without it.
Trump’s vision is clear: “unquestioned and unchallenged global technological dominance.“
And this ban is how he’ll do it.
When he does, I believe every major tech company on the planet will be forced to relocate to U.S. soil.
Apple, NVIDIA, Amazon, and others have already committed over $2 trillion—because they see what’s coming.
This is an opportunity to get ahead of the crowd.
You have mere weeks to position yourself ahead of the crowd.
For details on what he’s about to ban—and how you can profit from this developing situation, just go here now…

The 3 Penny Stocks You Swore You’d Never Buy (But You’ll Check Anyway)
Authored by Chris Markoch. First Published: 1/18/2026.
Key Takeaways
Vaxart is a clinical-stage biotech developing oral vaccines that could transform global immunization if its platform proves effective.
Microvision develops cost-effective lidar technology for autonomous vehicles, with upside tied to industry adoption and potential partnerships.
Datavault AI focuses on monetizing digital data through AI and blockchain tools, offering speculative exposure to the emerging data-as-an-asset theme.
Penny stocks attract speculative investors seeking high-risk, high-reward opportunities. That often means targeting companies with disruptive technologies, those tied to emerging trends, or firms with compelling turnaround stories. Many of these businesses will never scale or survive, but if even one succeeds, investors can see outsized returns.
For investors who believe strength lies in numbers, MarketBeat offers a tool that lists the 100 Most Popular Penny Stocks, ranked by how many MarketBeat subscribers follow each company. While follower count isn’t a guarantee of success, it can give investors additional conviction in a stock’s potential.

Definitions vary, and some investors call any stock trading at $5 or less a penny stock. The stocks highlighted by this screener, however, use the traditional definition: i.e., shares priced below $1. These issues are highly volatile — do your own research and know your risk tolerance before opening a position.
Vaxart: A Potential Game-Changer for Global Immunization Efforts
Vaxart Inc. (NASDAQ: VXRT) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing oral vaccines for influenza, norovirus, COVID-19, and other infectious diseases. Unlike traditional injectable vaccines, Vaxart’s tablet-based platform is designed to simplify distribution and improve global accessibility.
The bull case for Vaxart centers on that innovative delivery approach. If the company secures FDA approval and can scale production, its oral vaccines could reduce logistical barriers for mass immunization and create attractive licensing opportunities. Positive trial data or a commercial collaboration could quickly shift sentiment and valuation, especially given the stock’s low base.
Clinical risk is the chief challenge. Vaxart has not yet brought a product to market, and vaccine development is expensive and unpredictable. Competition from established players with much larger R&D budgets also constrains visibility. For now, Vaxart is a long-term speculative bet on platform validation rather than near-term profitability.
The MarketBeat analyst ratings show only one analyst covering Vaxart — not uncommon for microcap biotechs, but something investors should note. Institutional ownership is only about 18%, while short interest is roughly 2%, which may temper some volatility.
Microvision: Developing Cost-Effective LiDAR Units for Autonomous Driving
Microvision Inc. (NASDAQ: MVIS) develops LiDAR (light detection and ranging) sensors used in autonomous vehicles, smart infrastructure, and industrial sensing. Its hardware and software aim to enable precise 3D mapping needed for self-driving and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), with a focus on compact, cost-effective units that could appeal to automakers seeking scalable sensors.
The bullish thesis rests on two things: the ongoing shift toward vehicle automation and the potential for partnerships with major automotive manufacturers. If Microvision can demonstrate performance or cost advantages, it could win supply agreements or licensing deals that boost revenue visibility. Its technology also has potential applications in robotics and smart cities, adding optionality to the growth story.
That said, Microvision faces intense competition from LiDAR specialists such as Luminar (NASDAQ: LAZR), Innoviz (NASDAQ: INVZ), and Ouster (NYSE: OUST). Profitability remains uncertain, and recurring delays in LiDAR adoption have frustrated investors.
MVIS is covered by three analysts and carries a consensus price target of $2.50 — about a 169% increase from its Jan. 15 close. Still, it has relatively low institutional ownership (around 30%) and high short interest (around 21%), which means investors should be prepared for considerable volatility.
Datavault AI: Trying to Democratize Data Ownership
Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ: DVLT) operates at the intersection of artificial intelligence, data monetization, and digital asset management. The company’s patented Datavault platform helps organizations convert raw data into tradable, revenue-generating assets by combining AI, blockchain, and analytics tools. Datavault AI’s stated goal is to democratize data ownership and unlock monetization opportunities overlooked by traditional systems.
The bullish case hinges on a niche focus and potential scalability. As data becomes more valuable, businesses — and individuals — are seeking ways to monetize digital information securely. Datavault’s technology could benefit from broader AI adoption and rising interest in data sovereignty. Early traction or strategic partnerships could act as catalysts for investor confidence.
Still, Datavault AI sits in a highly experimental space. Its business model is evolving, and a sustainable path to significant revenue is unproven. Institutional ownership is under 1%, and short interest exceeds 16% at the time of writing. Investors should treat DVLT as a long-term, speculative position based on belief in data-as-an-asset innovation rather than near-term earnings potential.

Special Report
Micron: Accelerating HBM Ramp Extends Growth Into 2027
Authored by Thomas Hughes. Date Posted: 1/14/2026.
In Brief
Micron’s HBM memory supply is fully booked through 2026, with demand expected to exceed supply well into 2027 or beyond.
Strategic global expansion and pricing power position Micron to outperform conservative revenue forecasts, especially in AI-driven markets.
Analyst upgrades and bullish sentiment support continued upside, with high-end price targets implying significant room for further gains.
If you’re thinking, “2027? That’s a long way off,” you might not realize that Micron’s (NASDAQ: MU) key product is already fully booked through 2026. It’s the 2027 forecasts—still uncertain among analysts—that are likely to have an outsized influence on this stock in 2026.
HBM memory, the high-bandwidth memory that powers the GPUs running AI workloads, is sold out. That shortage presents both a global supply problem and an opportunity for Micron to expand production and take share. Micron is a leading supplier of advanced HBM components. The recent groundbreaking at its Clay, N.Y., site is important, but it’s a multi‑year catalyst: the Clay megafab won’t phase into production for several years, so nearer-term projects will have the bigger impact on supply and results.
Warren Buffett is sitting on $344 billion, the biggest cash position of his career. Meanwhile, CEOs behind America’s most powerful tech companies are selling billions in shares even as Wall Street tells everyday investors to buy the AI dip. After 46 years tracking institutional money flows, one pattern stands out: money is leaving crowded AI trades and flooding into an ignored corner of the market. The reason is power. A single AI data center uses as much electricity as a small city, and the grid can’t handle what’s coming. Institutions are quietly loading up on companies upgrading America’s power backbone.See the stocks flagged to lead the next leg of this market.
In the near term, Micron has several capacity expansions underway, with the first expected to go live this year. An advanced packaging facility in Singapore will speed and scale packaging of critical HBM products, strengthening Micron’s role in the AI supply chain. This expansion also shifts part of Micron’s footprint away from China and Taiwan while positioning the company to gain market share. Additional facilities in Boise and Japan are due online by mid‑2027 and late‑2028, respectively, further increasing HBM capacity. The Boise program includes two fabs (Fab 1 and Fab 2), which will both raise supply and bolster Micron’s domestic AI manufacturing capabilities.
HBM Demand Drives Higher Prices; Supply Won’t Catch Up Soon
Demand for HBM is so intense that most suppliers, not just Micron, are sold out. The result shows up in pricing—contract prices jumped by as much as 60% in 2025—and in Micron’s revenue, which produced a blowout Q1 for fiscal 2026. HBM4, the next-generation product expected to ramp at scale this year, is already contracted heavily as well.
Optimistic forecasts expect HBM shortages to persist at least until early 2027, and downside scenarios push shortages into 2028 as data-center demand remains strong. Micron says it can meet roughly 60% of its HBM demand in 2026, implying supply will still struggle to keep pace with demand in 2027 as new capacity phases in.
Analysts expect Micron’s revenue to surge in 2026—roughly doubling year over year. The company will likely exceed near-term consensus; the bigger question is 2027. MarketBeat’s consensus for 2027 currently implies only about 20% revenue growth, which looks conservative given 2026 shortfalls, rising contract prices, and HBM4 contributions. A more likely scenario is stronger revenue growth driven by ramping production and higher pricing.
Analyst Sentiment Is Bullish and Lifting the Stock
Analyst sentiment is strongly bullish and likely to remain supportive through the year. In fact, all analysts have been raising their price targets, with the biggest impact so far on near-term expectations (2026 and 2027). Longer-term forecasts have risen too, but not as quickly, leaving room for continued upward revisions.
Among the Most Upgraded Stockstracked by MarketBeat, Micron ranks second for sentiment and price-target momentum. Thirty-seven analysts currently give it a consensus Buy rating. As of mid‑January the market was trading roughly 10% above the consensus price target, but that target has climbed more than 100% over the past 12 months—providing material support—while high-end analyst forecasts still show more than 30% upside.
Micron’s Uptrend Looks Intact
Micron peaked in late December 2025/early January 2026, but the technical uptrend appears to be continuing. The MACD indicates bullish momentum and is converging near the recent highs, suggesting the potential for higher highs. The immediate pattern looks like consolidation through January; a decisive move to new highs would be the bullish trigger and could clear the way for another roughly $100 advance toward some analysts’ high-end targets.

The Strategy That’s Driving Investors to Early Retirement
Dear Reader,
When police asked notorious bank robber Willie Sutton Jr. why he robbed banks, he replied, “That’s where the money is.”
I began applying Sutton’s Law to my investing strategy years ago. Because there is only one investment that pays you to own them, and that’s a dividend stock.
It’s where the money is.
I took my paltry $8,000 IRA and invested in just one stock. I call it The World’s Greatest Dividend Stock, and I have a FREE REPORT that tells you all about it.
And NOW may be the BEST TIME for dividend-focused investing, thanks to an economic shift I’m calling The Great American Turnaround. It will impact every investor.
If you’re waiting for things to “settle down” in the markets and economy, you will likely pay higher prices for your dividend yields than investors who jump on The Great American Turnaround today.
Don’t let that happen.
I don’t want you to have any regrets about not acting at the right time to secure your retirement wealth and deliver a lifelong stream of cash into your pocket.

The Zacks #1 Rank Performance covers the period beginning on January 1, 1988 through January 5, 2026. The performance is the equal weighted performance of a hypothetical portfolio consisting of stocks with a Zacks Rank of #1 that was rebalanced monthly from January 1988 through December 2013 and weekly from 12/31/13 through Monday’s open on January 5, 2026. For each stock with a Zacks Rank #1 at the beginning of the month, the total return during the month was calculated as the % change in the price of the stock from the closing price of the prior month to the closing price of the current month plus any dividends received during the month. The monthly individual stock returns were then averaged to determine the portfolio return for the month. For each stock with a Zacks Rank #1 at the beginning of the week, the total return during the week was calculated as the % change in the price of the stock from the opening price for the week to the opening price of the next week plus any dividends received during the week. The weekly individual stock returns were then averaged to determine the portfolio return for the week. If no month-end price or week end open price was available for a stock, it was not included in the portfolio return for the month or the week. The monthly and weekly returns were compounded to arrive at the annual returns. The annualized return is the annual return that, had it been achieved in each year or portion of a year, would have compounded to create the total return over the full time period. These returns are based on the list of Zacks Rank #1 Stocks that was available to clients of Zacks as of the beginning of the month, when returns were calculated monthly, or as of the beginning of the week when returns were calculated weekly. These returns are higher than the returns an investor could achieve investing real money in a portfolio of Zacks Rank #1 stocks because the returns of the hypothetical Zacks Rank #1 portfolio exclude a number of costs, including commissions incurred for trading, the average bid ask spread, the price impact of the trading and, prior to 2013, in those months when the end of the month fell on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, the overnight return from the month end close to the open on the next trading day.

Jesus Christ, my God, I adore You and thank You for all the graces You have given me this day. I offer You my sleep and all the moments of this night. I place myself and all my loved ones, wherever they may be, in Your sacred side and under the mantle of Our Blessed Mother. Let Your holy angels stand watch and keep us in peace. Amen.
Quote of the Day
“Indeed, religion with contentment is a great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, just as we shall not be able to take anything out of it. 8 If we have food and clothing, we shall be content with that.” -St. Timothy, 1 Timothy 6:6-8
Today’s Meditation
The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty — it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There’s a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God. —Saint Teresa of Calcutta
The daily examination of conscience is an ancient Catholic practice. It’s very simple, and it’s designed to help us identify our sins and weaknesses so that we can improve and grow stronger in the spiritual life. Basically, it consists in taking a few minutes at the end of the day to prayerfully review our actions in the light of God’s commandments. The Act of Contrition is often said afterwards. The daily examination also serves as an excellent ongoing preparation for regular Confession.
Reflect on the victories and losses
Actively reflecting on the high and low points of the day can help you live more intentionally and bring a renewed sense of resolve into the following day.
Review your actions, words, and thoughts today. Did you actively guard yourself against temptation? Where did sin creep in?
In what moments did you practice virtue and moral courage?
Were you attuned to the Holy Spirit’s promptings today? Where did you feel His inspiration?
Ask Him for the graces necessary to follow His Will more purposefully tomorrow.
Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.
Practice gratitude
It is God’s love that has brought you into existence and to this exact moment. Practice looking for His hand in your day.
Where did you feel His loving gaze upon you today?
What people or moments helped you see God in your life?
Thank God for all these moments!
Ask Him to help you recognize His blessings and providence tomorrow.
Renew your commitment to Christ
Remember our Faith is founded upon a Person—Christ! Renew your personal love and devotion to Him.
Thank God for the gift of His Son Jesus and our call to be His disciples.
Tell the Lord of your desire to know Christ more personally.
If possible, set an intention for your day tomorrow. Ask Our Lord to guide you in this act.
Pray a Hail Mary, Our Father, or another beloved prayer.
Rest with God
My people will abide in a peaceful habitation, in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places. — Isaiah 32:18
