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
Holiday Spending to Hit $1 Trillion—Time to Buy This Retail ETF?
Written by Jordan Chussler on November 24, 2025
Key Points
Consumer discretionary stocks have been uninspiring in 2025, but with Christmas approaching, that could change.
For the first time ever, holiday spending in the United States is projected to surpass $1 trillion.
The VanEck Retail ETF can provide exposure for investors hoping for a near-term rally through the end of the year.
Between tariffs, sticky inflation, and ongoing weakness in the U.S. dollar, it has been a difficult year for the consumer discretionary sector. When household budgets are strained, consumers focus their purchasing power on essential goods and services, while new cars, electronics, vacations, and restaurant meals take a back seat.
Such has been the case in 2025, with the consumer discretionary’s year-to-date gain of 0.51% representing the second-worst performance of all of the S&P 500’s 11 sectors. Only the consumer staples sector, down 0.90%, has fared worse this year.
Those trends are likely to persist into 2026. But with the holidays just around the corner, all short-term bets are off. According to the National Retail Federation (NRF), holiday spending in the United States is projected to be between $1.01 trillion and $1.02 trillion for the first time ever.
This marks an increase of 3.7% over 2024, when that figure reached $976.1 billion.
And while the consumer discretionary sector has broadly underperformed this year, the Van Eck Retail ETF (NASDAQ:RTH) can provide investors with exposure to top companies in that space, which have the potential for a near-term rally that could carry through the end of the year.
Years before it became a household name, Shopify showed an early momentum pattern that experienced traders used to catch a 120% move — and that same repeatable signal has just appeared on a new small-cap ticker that hasn’t hit the mainstream yet. Our free Momentum Trading Report breaks down how to spot these stealth setups and reveals which names are flashing right now.Get early access to the free Momentum Trading Report here
The Who’s Who of Consumer Discretionary Stocks
The fund’s nearly 11% gain in 2025 trails the S&P 500, but it has outperformed the overall consumer discretionary sector.
That has a lot to do with the RTH’s holdings. According to the ETF’s prospectus, it aims to replicate as closely as possible the performance of the MVIS® US Listed Retail 25 Index (MVRTHTR). This index tracks the overall performance of companies involved in retail distribution, e-commerce, multi-line and specialty retail, and food staples.
In short, the RTH can put some of the biggest consumer names into your portfolio leading up to the holiday season. Among its top holdings are mega-cap giants, including Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Walmart (NYSE: WMT), and Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST), which account for nearly 38% of the fund’s portfolio.
In total, the RTH offers 80.5% exposure to specialty retail, which should pan out nicely for shareholders as consumer spending ramps up during the last week of November. Despite waning sentiment, consumers are still expected to spend aggressively. The University of Michigan’s Index of Consumer Sentiment fell to 51.0 in November from 53.6 in October—and a significant drop from 71.8 one year ago.
Yet despite that lower consumer confidence, Americans are still expected to spend big bucks on discretionary purchases through the end of the year. According to a study by Talker Research, nearly 1 in 3 Americans expects to slip into debt this holiday season. At the same time, the study found that over half of shoppers (51%) have created a holiday budget this year, but of those, a majority (64%) have already overspent or anticipate doing so.
That isn’t just good news for Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and company—it’s good news for shareholders of the VanEck Retail ETF, who get access for a low-cost expense ratio of 0.35%, which is entirely offset by the fund’s dividend, which currently yields 0.70%, or $1.73 per share annually at current prices.
Trump’s Next Export Ban Could Reshape the Global Economy
It’s not semiconductors, AI chips or quantum computers. But none of those technologies can exist without it. On January 19th, 2026, Trump is expected to ban exports of something every tech company desperately needs—forcing them all to relocate to U.S. soil.See what he’s about to ban here…
Is RTH a Buy Ahead of Black Friday?
While the fund doesn’t boast significant institutional ownership at less than 26%, buyers have outnumbered sellers over the past 12 months to the tune of $45.14 million in inflows versus just $6.33 million in outflows.
Meanwhile, Wall Street’s bears are largely staying away from the ETF as the holiday season approaches. Short interest currently stands at a miniscule 0.69%—a nearly 7% decrease since last month, suggesting that the smart money is also expecting big retail numbers in Q4.
The fund’s average daily volume is light, with just 5,005 shares traded per day, which may limit liquidity for some investors. But of the fund’s 25 holdings, out of 628 analyst ratings, not one company in its portfolio is recommended as a Reduce, Sell, or Strong Sell.
For investors eyeing a potential Santa Claus rally, the VanEck Retail ETF offers diversified exposure to top-performing retail names during a time of historically strong consumer spending.

Three energy stocks to buy for fueling profits have been trending upward despite a recent market dip in technology and Bitcoin.
The three energy stocks to buy for fueling profits do not compete with each other but each is championed by a market forecaster who has a proven track record of ascending share prices. For investors who are open to purchasing stocks that may not be high-flyers, but positive performers, this trio of investments may be of interest.
When some industries like technology or cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin lose favor with investors, others can gain popularity. That situation may be about to unfold with energy investments.
Three Energy Stocks to Buy for Fueling Profits: NVGS
Navigator Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: NVGS) describes itself as the owner and operator of the world’s largest fleet of “handysize liquefied gas carriers” and a global leader in the seaborne transportation services of petrochemical gases, such as ethylene and ethane, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and ammonia. The company also has a 50% share in a joint venture for an ethylene export marine terminal at Morgan’s Point, Texas, on the Houston Ship Channel.
The stock has risen more than 10% since it was recommended in the Five Star Trader advisory service led by Mark Skousen, PhD, who also heads the Forecasts & Strategies investment newsletter. Skousen also is a Presidential Fellow and economics professor at Chapman University, as well as an occasional contributor of op-eds for the Wall Street Journal.
Navigator’s fleet now consists of 56 semi- or fully refrigerated liquefied gas carriers, 25 of which are ethylene and ethane capable. The company plays a key role in the liquefied gas supply chain for energy companies, industrial consumers and commodity traders.
In addition, Navigator has sophisticated vessels that provide an efficient and reliable “floating pipeline,” its officials said. Navigator’s fundamentals have “strengthened materially” in the past year with both its shipping fleet and ethylene export terminal performing well to produce consistent profitability, they added.
As energy infrastructure grows, demand for Navigator’s existing ethylene capable carriers should continue to improve, according to the company.
Three Energy Stocks to Buy for Fueling Profits: UEC
Bryan Perry, whose Cash Machineinvestment newsletter offers subscribers an average dividend yield of more than 10% before adding gains from capital appreciation, is a Wall Street veteran who more than doubled the initial investment he produced in a fledgling uranium company to members of his Micro-Cap Stock Trader advisory service. His recommendation of Uranium Energy Corporation (NYSE: UEC) in Feb. 2024 soared 120.13% by the time he advised its sale on October 16, 2025.
Additional good news came on Nov. 7 with the U.S. government decision to add uranium in the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Final 2025 Critical Minerals List, as published in the Federal Register. The designation recognized uranium’s “essential role in America’s energy and national security” and resulted in praise from Amir Adnani, president and chief executive officer of Uranium Energy Corporation.
Particularly, praise was offered for U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and the U.S. Geological Survey for taking an “important step” toward fulfilling President Trump’s vision of restoring America’s leadership in critical minerals and achieving true U.S. energy dominance, Adnani said in a statement.
“UEC is heeding that call with ramp-up and development activities at our three licensed hub-and-spoke production platforms in Texas and Wyoming,” Adnani continued. “In parallel, we’re advancing the United States Uranium Refining & Conversion Corp. to help restore and expand America’s domestic nuclear fuel conversion capabilities.”
The Energy Act of 2020 allows the Secretary of the Interior to designate a mineral as critical when another federal agency, such as the Department of Energy or another relevant agency, determines it is strategic and critical to U.S. defense or national security. The Department of Energy recommended uranium’s inclusion, citing its importance in energy production and defense applications, and the Department of Defense also emphasized its national security significance.
Three Energy Stocks to Buy for Fueling Profits: COP
Conoco Phillips (NYSE: COP) is a “solid energy company” that is expanding its international liquid gas (LG) portfolio, said Michelle Connell, who heads Dallas-based Portia Capital Management. COP has strong fundamentals, she added.
“When they announced their latest earnings on November 6, they reiterated that they’ll be adding an additional $7 billion in free cash flow between now and 2029,” Connell counseled. “These monies will be the result of an expanding international liquid natural gas (LNG) portfolio and the Willow project, an oil production facility in Alaska.”
In the same Nov. 6 earnings announcement, COP increased its dividend by 8% and reiterated a goal of retiring $6 billion of the company’s shares, Connell continued. Through November, the company had retired $4 billion in stock. Embedded in this $6 billion share retirement is the company’s desire to retire the shares issued for the acquisition of Marathon Oil over the next few years, she added.
COP’s increasing free cash flow reflects an energy company with solid fundamentals, Connell told me. The company offers a current dividend yield of 3.84%, supported by the increasing free cash flow and the declining share count. Connell said she expects COP’s dividend yield to increase substantially in the years ahead.

Geopolitical Risk Stays Significant
President Trump and his diplomats are trying to forge a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia, but it remains unfinalized. An earlier draft called for Ukraine, the country whose sovereign territory has been invaded, to relinquish some of its precious land to the aggressor, Russia. Such proposals in the past have been most unpopular with the Ukrainian people, who have sacrificed greatly to defend their freedom and protect themselves against the yoke of oppression Russia exerted after World War II on its nearby nations.
Claims to the contrary by Russia’s leaders belie the reality of increased prosperity for the countries that have the greatest freedom. Skousen, who also is the Doti-Spogli Chair of Free Enterprise at Chapman University in Orange County, California, is a free-market economist who travels the world to praise freedom as a key to opening opportunities for prosperity across the globe.
A war zone remains in Ukraine after Russia invaded the nation nearly four years ago. President Trump has advocated that other countries defang Russia’s war machine and boycott its oil. The idea has had gained support, but not enough to stop the war so far.
Despite Trump’s call for peace and an end of the killing, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and his empire-building cadre of leaders remain undeterred. The war is threating to worsen further if Putin and his comrades in the country’s leadership continue to keep ignoring damage to their nation’s economy and force its citizens to fight and die, despite negligible gains.
Russia’s miliary strikes keep killing children, women and elderly civilians in Ukraine with little apparent regard for human life. The latest resulted in seven deaths this week when civilian sites were struck in Ukraine’s Capitol far from the front lines. Russia’s tactic of charging forward to gain portions of Ukraine’s territory after Russia’s initial invasion nearly four years ago has been criticized by military strategists around the world. Thus far, Russia’s leaders have opted for a protracted war, not prosperity aided by new trade agreements that President Trump has proposed.

The stock quickly ballooned to almost $250, then fell, before rallying again over the summer. As of late November, shares have dropped by more than 42% in the past month, falling below $72.
While this volatility is notable, what really makes Circle’s story interesting for investors is its ambitious price target. Analysts collectively see the stock more than double to $150.33 per share.
Below, we’ll explore the drivers behind the recent selloff and whether there is still a bullish case to be made for this beleaguered new entrant to the fintech stock space.
Most traders spend all day glued to charts, hoping for a big move — but Graham Lindman says the easiest gains this year have come from a simple pricing quirk that appears in blue-chip options over and over again. By entering select $1-or-less contracts on names like Apple, Nvidia, and Google, he’s shown how small moves in the stock can still deliver fast 100%+ wins — without timing the market or relying on complex setups. Now he’s setting up the next round of these “$1 trades” and revealing exactly how he finds them.Click here to see how the $1 trade setup works and where the newest opportunities are
A Closer Look at Circle’s Selloff
The recent selloff, which brought Circle in line with its debut price from early June, seems counterintuitive based on the company’s recent earnings performance.
For the third quarter, Circle’s year-over-year (YOY) revenue improvement reached 66%, an acceleration over the prior quarter’s already-impressive gains.
Revenue of $740 million came alongside an improvement in adjusted EBITDA to $166 million from $126 million a year earlier.
A portion of the recent decline in Circle’s price is likely tied to its exposure to the broader crypto space, which has tumbled as Bitcoin plunged by nearly 23% in the last month.
Despite Circle’s focus on the stablecoin corner of the crypto sphere, this market is still not sufficiently disentangled to avoid the situation in which a major correction in Bitcoin impacts firms that are only loosely linked to BTC.
But the bigger problems for Circle may have been its anticipated costs and the external headwinds of changing interest rates. Circle announced in its latest earnings that it would raise its full-year guidance for adjusted operating expenses as high as $510 million, putting pressure on margins.
Additionally, a significant portion of its revenue is tied to interest earned on cash and Treasuries backing USDC. With potential U.S. interest rate cuts looming, this revenue stream may shrink in the coming quarters.
Analysts Split on CRCL’s Future as Price Target Holds Firm
So far in November, firms including Wells Fargo and Needham & Co. have lowered their price targets—but kept their ratings.
Others, like Baird and JPMorgan, are in a small group that believes CRCL’s decline could be a prime opportunity to buy the dip—these firms have actually upgraded CRCL targets in the last several weeks.
The bullish thesis is rooted in USDC’s rapid adoption. In the latest quarter, USDC’s circulation more than doubled YOY, and on-chain transaction volume surged 580%. If this momentum continues, it could drive long-term gains for CRCL.
Broader stablecoin adoption in the face of a declining greenback, inflation, or other macro pressures may also fuel growth. Finally, if Circle continues to expand its infrastructure revenue, making it less reliant on the success of USDC, investors may find it worthwhile to reward this diversification.
Man Group’s record AUM made headlines, but the real story is the market force that firms like D.E. Shaw, Citadel, and Renaissance have been quietly using for years. It’s the same phenomenon I first saw while working inside a major Wall Street trading shop — a pattern powerful enough to pinpoint which stocks are about to attract unusually heavy attention each morning.
Nate Tucci and I recently broke down how we track this flow and how it identifies the #1 ticker to watch each day. No guarantees, of course — but the method has correctly flagged setups on AAPL, TSLA, NVDA, and more with strong consistency, and the next signal is already flashing.Tap here to see the full story and today’s #1 ranked ticker
Can Circle Really Double?
To be sure, Circle’s challenges are many—the company faces intense margin pressure, increasing competition from other stablecoins, and a shifting regulatory landscape marked earlier this year by the passage of the GENIUS Act. The company’s successes will have to outweigh these risks by a wide margin if it is to reverse course from its current decline, let alone double in value.
Investors willing to take a risk on a company that could generate significant returns may appreciate the opportunity that Circle’s dip presents. Similarly, long-term fintech bullsbelieving that stablecoins are likely to be widespread might be drawn to CRCL. For most investors, though, CRCL’s recent selloff may seem to be justified, so long as the risks remain.
HIMS Has Been a Roller Coaster Ride. Should Investors Hop On?
Written by Jordan Chussler. Published 11/19/2025.
Key Points
Shares of HIMS have seen gains of 173% and 146% this year, but they’ve also seen massive double-digit corrections after each run-up in price.
The company’s management was able to achieve profitability just three years after its IPO.
Analysts’ forecast an average 12-month price target nearly 25% higher than where the stock is trading today.
Most headlines in the health care sector are dominated by Big Pharma giants. Legacy companies such as AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV), Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY), Pfizer (NYSE: PFE), and Merck (NYSE: MRK)—and their lineup of game-changing drugs—receive the lion’s share of attention. But one newcomer is making a splash, and investors seeking growth opportunities in the health space should be paying attention.
Founded in November 2017, Hims & Hers Health (NYSE: HIMS) went public in January 2021. By the end of 2024, the consumer-focused health platform posted its first profitable year, reporting net income of $126 million.
While that figure is small compared with mega-cap peers, it demonstrates a level of financial discipline rarely seen among companies less than five years removed from their IPO. Combined with operations at the intersection of several high-demand industries, this makes Hims & Hers an intriguing buy-and-hold prospect for some investors.
A Turbulent Year for Shareholders
On the fundamentals side, the young company’s debt management has been notable. That strength is underscored by a nearly 244% increase in net cash from operating activities from 2023 to 2024.
When Hims & Hers Health reported Q3 financials on Nov. 3, it missed earnings by just 3 cents and beat revenue expectations, reporting $598.98 million, a 49.2% year-over-year increase.
In his comments, CEO and cofounder Andrew Dudum highlighted that “At the end of the quarter, subscribers using personalized solutions grew 50% year-over-year, helping drive nearly 50% in year-over-year revenue growth.”
Notably, the company’s debt-to-equity ratio of 1.67 and its forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 52.79—a marked improvement from its trailing 12-month P/E of 67.33—suggest analysts expect earnings to rise next year, from $0.29 per share to about $0.52 per share (more than 79%).
Since 2021, Hims & Hers has averaged annual EBITDA growth of 37.14%, revenue growth of 77.85%, and earnings per share (EPS) growth of 169.63%.
Despite these solid fundamentals, 2025 has required a strong stomach for HIMS shareholders. The stock’s performance this year has resembled a roller coaster, with rapid rallies followed by sharp declines.
From Jan. 2 to Feb. 19, HIMS gained nearly 173% before giving back more than 63% by April 22. By May 19 it had climbed nearly 146% again, then plunged about 36% by June 25. At the end of July it had regained roughly 60%, and at the time of writing the stock is about 45% below that high.
HIMS Is at the Center of Multiple High-Growth Industries
Overall, since going public the stock is up nearly 139%. Hims & Hers has shown rapid growth while management has produced disciplined balance sheets. The company’s accessible, direct-to-consumer telehealth model places it at the intersection of several high-growth markets.
According to market consultancy Grand View Research, the sexual health supplement market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4% from 2024 through 2030.
The hair thinning market is forecast to expand at a CAGR of 10.85% in the same period, while the telehealth market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 24.68%.
Perhaps most notably, Hims & Hers also offers compounded GLP-1 injections, which use the same class of active ingredients found in Novo Nordisk’s (NYSE: NVO) Ozempic and Wegovy. The GLP-1 weight-loss market is projected to grow at a CAGR of about 18.54% during the forecast period.
Additionally, Dudum said on the company’s Q3 earnings call that Hims & Hers is in ongoing discussions with Novo Nordisk to distribute both injection and oral formulations of Wegovy on its platform, pending FDA approval.
Here’s What Wall Street Thinks of HIMS
Ten of the 15 analysts covering Hims & Hers rate it a Hold, and the stock carries a consensus Reduce rating. Still, the 15 analysts’ average 12-month price target is $45.27, implying potential upside of about 24.5%.
However, the current level of short interest may give prospective investors pause: it stands at roughly 37.54% of the company’s float. For long-term investors, though, institutional ownership—nearly 64%—offers a countervailing vote of confidence.
Underscoring that institutional bullishness, over the past 12 months 425 institutional buyers have added about $2.31 billion in inflows, compared with 194 institutional sellers who withdrew roughly $1.17 billion.

Today’s Featured Article
NVIDIA Just Proved the AI Boom Is Bigger Than Anyone Thought
Written by Thomas Hughes. Published 11/20/2025.
Key Points
NVIDIA’s Q3 release and guidance update indicated that the AI trade is still alive, with the industry larger and growing faster than anticipated.
Revenue growth is accelerating, and forecasts for 2026 suggest analyst estimates are as much as 100% too low.
Analysts are lifting their targets, pointing to a steep price increase over the next 12 months.
If there were any doubts about the AI trade and its health ahead of NVIDIA’s (NASDAQ: NVDA) Q3 earnings release, they have been laid to rest. The company delivered another standout quarter, accelerating revenue growth to over 60% year-over-year and beating consensus estimates.
NVIDIA’s stunning outperformance suggests the AI boom is larger and expanding faster than anticipated. The company’s Q4 guidance was about $3 billion above MarketBeat’s reported consensus—nearly 500 basis points—and trends suggest NVIDIA could again exceed expectations. CEO Jensen Huang said GPUs and GPU capacity are sold out, with clear visibility through the end of next calendar year.
NVIDIA’s Outlook for 2026: Analyst Forecasts Are Too Low
Looking forward, NVIDIA expects about $500 million in Blackwell and Rubin revenue over the next five quarters, including the current quarter. That figure is more than 60% higher than the consensus forecast for the year—and that’s before accounting for contributions from other business segments.
The Q3 results showed strength across the board, with double-digit growth in all segments, highlighting the company’s broad-based momentum.
In this light, NVIDIA’s 2026 analyst forecasts may be understated by as much as 100%, a gap that could push the stock toward record levels.
Although there were no formal upgrades (nearly 94% of ratings already sit at Buy or higher), several firms raised price targets or reaffirmed their views.
The consensus implies about a 30% upside versus the pre-release close, while the average of the updated targets suggests a potentially larger move. The average forecast after the earnings release is currently $262, with the high-end at $350.
Notably, both low-end and high-end targets are trending higher, indicating a broad shift supported by a sizable portion of the market. A move to the high-end range would represent nearly a 100% gain from pre-earnings levels.
Institutional activity remains a key driver of NVIDIA stock. Institutions own roughly 65% of outstanding shares; despite some selling in early Q4, they have been broadly bullish this year and are likely to resume buying in the back half of Q4 now that the results are public.
NVIDIA’s Balance Sheet and Shareholder Value Swell
NVIDIA’s financial position adds another layer of confidence. The company’s revenue surge improved operating leverage, driving stronger margins, cash flow and profits. Earnings per share, which significantly outperformed consensus estimates, are forecast to grow in 2026 alongside revenue.
The company’s balance sheet is notably strong. NVIDIA is net cash positive, and its cash holdings grew by about 40% year-to-date to more than $60 billion. Although the dividend yield remains modest at 0.05%, share repurchases have been meaningful—reducing the share count by roughly 1% in Q3—and are likely to continue.
NVIDIA Trigger Buy Signal
Technically, the stock looked vulnerable ahead of the Q3 release—with candlestick patterns, MACD and the stochastic oscillator all pointing to a potential top. NVIDIA’s strong earnings, however, triggered a new buy signal. Shares jumped more than 5% in pre-market trading, finding support at key trend levels.

This forecast may even be conservative, as the technical setup supports continued momentum, and market sentiment is shifting. The likely outcome is that BJ’s stock will accumulate over the coming quarters, resulting in a sustained uptrend that may linger through the end of 2026.
The technical picture is very bullish. BJ stock has pulled back since early 2025 but remains supported by the long-term exponential moving averages (EMAs). The daily chart shows a well-formed Head & Shoulders pattern in the process of confirmation.
A Head & Shoulders pattern is a technical formation that signals a potential trend reversal, characterized by three peaks: a higher center (the head) flanked by two lower highs (the shoulders).
The Q3 earnings release triggered a strong pre-market rally, which reinforced support at critical levels and formed the second shoulder in the pattern.
Note the shallow depth of the head—the market did not fall far below the first shoulder before buyers stepped in, underscoring the bullishness of this indicator. The critical resistance level is near the neckline at $95 and will likely be tested before the end of 2025.
The weekly chart is just as bullish. Although the price action declined significantly, the sell-off overextended, found support at critical levels, and is set up for a trend following signal. Indicators are set up for a momentum swing that, in this time frame, could keep the market advancing for several quarters if not years. Institutional and analyst trends suggest the longer duration is more likely.
The world’s wealthiest individuals are making huge moves with their money.
Warren Buffett just liquidated billions of shares. Bill Gates sold 500,000 shares of Microsoft. Jeff Bezos filed to sell Amazon shares worth $4.8 billion.
What is going on? One multi-millionaire believes they are preparing for a catastrophic event. But not a crash, bank run, or recession. It’s something we haven’t see in America for more than a century.For the full story, click here.
Analysts and Institutions Set Up a Deep Value Opportunity for BJ Investors
BJ’s Wholesale Club’s stock price decline was rooted in analyst sentiment, which cooled off in Q2 and Q3. This led to a reduction in price targets, pressuring the market to its November lows.
However, despite the reductions, coverage has been increasing, and the sentiment has remained firm at Moderate Buy, as the long-term outlook remains healthy.
It includes growth, cash flow, and capital returns, so with Q3 results better than forecast, the downtrend in price target revisions will likely end.
As it stands, the consensus forecasts more than 20% upside from lows seen in November. This may be on the low side, given the earnings outlook and valuation metrics.
The stock trades at a discount to its peers and earnings projections, at about 20 times current-year earnings, suggesting the potential for a 100% to 200% increase in stock price over the next three to five years.
The value opportunity is highlighted by the institutions, which show high confidence by owning nearly 100% of the stock, and their activity, which has been bullish all year and accelerated in the first half of Q4.
Notably, selling was also elevated earlier in the year but virtually disappeared in Q4 as price action began to bottom. With this in play, the stock price has nowhere to go but up—unless short-sellers start dumping shares into the market, which is unlikely given the circumstances.
BJ’s Wholesale Club Has Beat-and-Raise Quarter: Reduces Share Count 1%
BJ’s Wholesale Club had a solid quarter,aligning with industry trends, producing 4.9% top-line growth. The growth was driven by an increased store count, a 1.1% comp sales increase, and a 9.8% increase in membership fees. eCommerce, the growth pillar in 2025, increased by 30% and is expected to remain strong in the upcoming quarters.
Equally important, the margin contracted by less than expected. The result is that operating income fell by nearly 5%, net by almost 2.5%, and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) by 1.7%—all of which were less than expected by analyst consensus, leaving EPS more than a nickel ahead of target. Management also raised EPS guidance, shifting the prior high to the midpoint of the new range—possibly a cautious move that leaves room for outperformance.

Within the global lithium industry, Brazil’s LV has emerged as a premier hard-rock lithium jurisdiction.
Brazil’s advantages include year-round mining operations, lower labor costs, and a supportive government. The country’s lithium industry outperforms Australian producers on costs; Pilbara Mineral’s US$370M acquisition of a Brazilian lithium explorer in August 2024 highlights the region’s importance.
“Investments in lithium production in Minas Gerais are projected to range from $3.9 billion to $5.8 billion by 2030,” according to João Paulo Braga, CEO of the state investment promotion agency, Invest Minas.
Few countries besides Brazil have such an advantageous position to attract investment, as other Latin American nations face uncertainties and political risks.
ATLX’s Minas Gerais Lithium Project is its largest endeavor and consists of 98 mineral rights totaling approximately 797 km2.
Several of the company’s mineral rights are located adjacent to or near mineral rights that belong to a large publicly traded competitor company which has demonstrated through extensive drilling the presence of lithium deposits totaling over 100 million tons, according to its publicly available filings!
This is a Highly Attractive Location:
◼ Resource Potential to Support Large Scale Operations
✓ The Brazilian Geological Service (CPRM) suggested that the region has at least 45 lithium deposits
✓ Adjacent to operational lithium mines in the region such as Sigma Lithium and CBL
◼ Licensing Fast Track to Speed up Project Execution – Atlas with Permits in Place

✓ Mining friendly jurisdiction: 300+ operating mines in the state of Minas Gerais
◼Favorable Infrastructure
✓ Access to abundant renewable & clean energy sources and highway roads directly connected to intercontinental ports to supply main markets
Recent exploration activities at both the company’s Salinas and the Clear Projects have yielded significant progress, and such development bodes well for ATLX’s strategy of securing as many high-quality deposit areas within LV as feasible.
A NEIGHBORING A LITHIUM POWERHOUSE
Atlas Lithium’s acreage borders Sigma Lithium (SGML), which had previously soared to multi-billion valuations. ATLX’s Clear Project is just 3.8 miles from Sigma’s Grota do Cirilo mine. And if you think that’s close—how about this: Atlas’s lithium processing manager played a key role at Sigma!
INSTITUTIONAL VOTE OF CONFIDENCE: $30 MILLION FROM MITSUI
In 2024, Japanese mega-conglomerate Mitsui (yes, the one whose biggest shareholder is Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway) plowed $30M into Atlas Lithium at a 10% premium. The deal came with a massive lithium offtake agreement—highlighting that ATLX is not just a hopeful explorer. It’s on the fast track to revenue.
In a transformative development, Atlas Lithium secured a strategic partnership with Mitsui & Co., Ltd., one of Japan’s largest global trading and investment companies with operations in over 60 countries. In March 2024, Mitsui demonstrated its confidence in Atlas Lithium’s potential by making a substantial US$30 million strategic investment at a 10% premium to market price. The partnership includes a significant offtake agreement lithium concentrate from Atlas Lithium’s Neves Project. Notably, Mitsui’s largest shareholder is Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, adding another layer of institutional validation to Atlas Lithium’s business model.
PLANT ARRIVES READY FOR ASSEMBLY
Atlas isn’t waiting around. Its state-of-the-art Dense Media Separation (DMS) lithium processing plant just landed in Brazil. Permitted and fully paid-for, this facility brings Atlas into elite company. It will be Brazil’s first modular DMS plant, and it’s engineered for eco-friendly, water-efficient lithium extraction.
Atlas Lithium’s processing plant pictured during preliminary trial assembly stage in South Africa.
CEO Marc Fogassa said it best: “We have overcome two of the most significant hurdles on our journey to production.”
CEO SKIN IN THE GAME: MIT + HARVARD EDUCATED + 26% OWNERSHIP
Atlas’s CEO isn’t a suit. He’s a biotech MD and MIT-trained engineer turned investor—who just happens to own 26% of the company himself. That’s shareholder alignment you RARELY see in this sector.
Brazilian born CEO Marc Fogassa has a 25-year career in executive management, private equity/venture capital. He has extensive direct investing experience, including cross-border deal structuring, due diligence, management build-up, and Board of Directors oversight.
Fogassa double majored at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), earning Bachelor of Science degrees in Electrical Engineering and Biology. He subsequently graduated from the Harvard Medical School with a Doctor of Medicine degree and later from the Harvard Business School with a master’s in business administration degree.
Marc Fogassa is the largest shareholder of Atlas Lithium himself, with ~26% of outstanding common shares. This is a vote of confidence from the man in charge and it showcases full CEO’s alignment with shareholder interests.
THE THREE CROWN JEWELS: ATLAS’S CORE PROJECTS
Neves Project: Permits in hand. Pre-production preparations afoot. Of significant strategic value.
Salinas Project: Pegmatite-rich with assays ranging from 2.31% to 4.97% Li₂O.
Clear Project: Right next to Sigma Lithium. Soil + geophysical studies point to buried spodumene swarms.
All three are in the heart of Lithium Valley, surrounded by proven multibillion-dollar resources. Recent exploration confirms spodumene at multiple locations.
Lithium Projects: Highlights
\
The Salinas Project continues to demonstrate its substantial potential, with recent detailed geological mapping revealing two outcrops of spodumene-rich pegmatites in the northwest portion of the mineral property, coinciding with a northeast-southwest trending lithium soil anomaly. Additionally, lithium mineralization has been determined in at least three pegmatites, with geochemical assay results ranging from 2.31% to 4.97% Li2O. Laboratory analysis of detailed soil sampling within the claim has identified at least three parallel north-south and northeast-southwest lithium anomalies associated with mapped pegmatites. The Company has undertaken geophysical surveys and such results have been consistent with the probability of one or more lithium deposits within the claim.
At the Clear Project, detailed geological mapping of the claim has resulted in the discovery of two pegmatites, with completed soil sampling revealing a substantial northeast-southwest trending lithium anomaly associated with a mapped pegmatite, suggesting the presence of a buried pegmatite swarm. The Company’s technical team has completed an initial round of geophysical studies which have been favorable for the potential of one or more lithium deposits within the mineral right.
The Company’s strategic approach prioritizes the Neves Project for initial production, while simultaneously advancing exploration at the Clear and Salinas Projects. Over the last several quarters, Atlas Lithium has enhanced its geological assessment methodology through a comprehensive multi-step process: detailed geological mapping, zoned and detailed soil geochemical analysis, and advanced geophysical surveys including LIDAR and magnetic surveys. In the Company’s experience, such systematic approach has demonstrated accuracy in identifying potential spodumene deposits. Given the favorable results so far, the Company is expected to expand its exploration budget in 2025 to accommodate for drilling in both the Clear Project and the Salinas Projects.
The Neves Project Has Already Received All Permits Needed to Assemble its Processing Plant and Operate!
“We are thrilled with today’s announcement, as permitting is widely considered the most critical risk in any mining project. Atlas Lithium’s permit reflects fourteen months of our team’s meticulous work throughout the licensing process (…). This milestone marks a key step for us towards becoming a lithium producer and advances Atlas Lithium into the next phase of our growth trajectory.” – CEO Marc Fogassa
“We are committed to being a responsible corporate citizen for all our stakeholders. With the news provided today, and as the Neves Project proceeds towards implantation and operation, Atlas Lithium will create hundreds of local jobs in the Vale do Jequitinhonha area of Minas Gerais. Additionally, our lithium processing plant is engineered to possibly achieve the smallest environmental footprint in its class.” – Director Rodrigo Menck
Strengthening Project Implementation Expertise with Eduardo Queiroz
Eduardo Queiroz joins Atlas Lithium as Project Management Officer (PMO) and Vice President of Engineering, bringing over 20 years of hands-on experience managing complex, large-scale mining projects, and making him the perfect addition to drive the Company’s Neves Project to revenue generation. Mr. Queiroz has more than two decades of expertise in managing large-scale and complex mining projects, most recently as General Manager of Planning and Management at Bamin, a unit of Eurasian Resources Group, where he successfully led the strategic planning of several projects over US$3 billion, including an integrated iron ore mining project encompassing mining operations, processing plant, railway, and ocean port facilities. His comprehensive experience includes engineering oversight, environmental compliance, risk management, and the implementation of cost-efficient operational strategies. He holds an MBA in Project Management from Fundação Getúlio Vargas and a degree in Civil Engineering from the Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto.
“Eduardo’s arrival could not come at a better time,” said Marc Fogassa, CEO and Chairman of Atlas Lithium. “As we prepare to transition into production, his proven track record in the implementation of Brazilian mining projects will be instrumental in our success. We are honored and thrilled to have him on our team.”
Lithium might just be the hottest commodity to watch as we get closer to 2030 and could yield long-term opportunities for ATLX!
Why Lithium?
Lithium is on the list of the 35 minerals considered critical to the economic and national security of the United States as first published by the U.S. Department of the Interior on May 18, 2018.
In June 2021, the U.S. Department of Energy published a report titled “National Blueprint for Lithium Batteries 2021-2030” (henceforth, the “NBLB Report”) which was developed by the Federal Consortium for Advanced Batteries (“FCAB”), a collaboration by the U.S. Departments of Energy, Defense, Commerce, and State. According to the Report, one of the main goals of this U.S. government effort is to “secure U.S. access to raw materials for lithium batteries.”
In the NBLB Report, Ms. Jennifer M. Granholm, the U.S. Secretary of Energy, states: “Lithium-based batteries power our daily lives from consumer electronics to national defense. They enable electrification of the transportation sector and provide stationary grid storage, critical to developing the clean-energy economy.”
The NBLB Report summarizes as follows the U.S. government’s views on the needs for lithium and the expected growth of the lithium battery market:
“A robust, secure, domestic industrial base for lithium-based batteries requires access to a reliable supply of raw, refined, and processed material inputs…”
“The worldwide lithium battery market is expected to grow by a factor of 5 to 10 in the next decade.”
Is Lithium Poised for a Major Comeback?
An anticipated surge in demand, coupled with expanding supply capacities, indicates a potentially lucrative rebound for the lithium market which could present significant investment opportunities.
Statista reports that global lithium demand is expected to continue its upward trend through the coming year.
Fastmarkets predicts that U.S. lithium demand could skyrocket by nearly 500% by the end of the decade.
A lithium rebound could bode well for many lithium companies including Atlas Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ: ATLX).
The rebound in lithium stocks got underway in 2024 when the world’s largest miner of the metal, Albemarle revealed plans to cut production and spending. Smaller peer Arcadium Lithium quickly followed. The moves stirred hopes that lithium supplies would soon revert closer to current demand.
Investor enthusiasm continued in October of 2024 when the mining world’s second-largest enterprise, Rio Tinto, sealed a $6.7 billion deal to take over Arcadium. The acquisition will make Rio a top lithium supplier. Why did Rio Tinto make such a big move? The mining giant is moving to solidify its position when lithium prices are near cyclical lows.
Are there any compelling reasons for investors to consider buying lithium stocks now? Plenty.
Significant demand drivers are in place for lithium. Lithium is pivotal in the production of rechargeable batteries for mobile phones, laptops, digital cameras, and electric vehicles.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects that clean energy technologies will increase global demand for lithium by nearly 90% over the next two decades.
Strategic initiatives are underway to tighten lithium supply through mine closures and the deferral of new projects. These moves aim to address the excess supply that has contributed to the prolonged downturn in the lithium market.
Many oil and gas giants are foraying into lithium production as efforts to curb emissions gain momentum, amid the global transition from fossil fuels to cleaner energy. This includes Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Energy Renewables and Occidental Petroleum and ExxonMobil.
Recent M&A in the Lithium mining space should encourage further consolidation. In October of 2024, Rio Tinto agreed to buy Arcadium Lithium plc (ALTM) for $5.85 per share in cash, bringing the total value of the deal to $6.7 billion. In December of 2024, Australia’s Sayona Mining and U.S.-based Piedmont Lithium (PLL) agreed to merge in an all-stock transaction to form a unified lithium business. Pilbara Minerals Ltd. demonstrated further industry consolidation through its strategic acquisition of Latin Resources Ltd. for approximately $370 million, notably targeting assets in Brazil’s Lithium Valley near Atlas Lithium’s operations, which validated the region’s growing importance in the global lithium supply chain.
What’s Driving the Battery Metals Revolution?
The Battery Metals Market has seen substantial growth, driven primarily by the increasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy storage solutions.
These battery metals are being utilized more frequently in batteries for consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and other uses. Brine and hard rock deposits found in countries with economies like China, the Americas, Australia, Canada, Brazil, and Portugal are sources of lithium metal. In lithium-ion batteries, cobalt is most frequently utilized as the cathode material. Nickel has a high energy density and storage capacity, making it a good choice for battery applications. Increased use of smartphones, tablets, and other electronic gadgets has positively impacted the global battery metal market.
According to recent market reports, the global battery metals market is currently valued at around $11.35 billion and is projected to reach $22.87 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 8.1% due to increasing demand for electric vehicles and consumer electronics, with key battery metals including lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, and graphite; the Asia-Pacific region is the largest contributor to the market by revenue.

Wondering if a family trust is right for your assets? Speaking with a financial advisor could be a good first step to answering that question and potentially setting one up.
Benefits of a family trust:
Avoid probate: Helps keep matters private and potentially saves your heirs time and legal fees.
Shield assets: Potentially protect assets from creditors, lawsuits, and even divorce.
Legacy planning: Define how and when beneficiaries receive their inheritance
Tax strategy: With estate tax thresholds set to decrease in 2026, trusts can potentially be used proactively to minimize exposure and lock in current exemptions while they last.
That’s why we created a free tool to help match you with vetted financial advisors who serve your area, each legally bound to work in your best interest.

Nuclear Energy Earnings: Which Names Won and Lost in Q3
Written by Leo Miller. Published 11/18/2025.
Key Points
Nuclear energy stocks have seen broad-based strength in 2025, but have recently taken big blows.
NuScale Power, Constellation Energy, and Oklo, three of the most discussed stocks in this space, recently reported earnings.
See how each fared in Q3, based on the market’s reaction and analysts’ assessments.
2025 has been characterized by several key investment themes, such as artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing, and memory chip stocks. Not least among these is the market’s attraction to nuclear energy stocks. As of the Nov. 17 close, the VanEck Uranium and Nuclear ETF (NYSEARCA: NLR) has delivered a total return of 55%.
Many high-profile nuclear stocks recently reported Q3 earnings. Below, we dive into the results and detail which firms impressed investors and which disappointed.
The Federal Reserve is trapped. Every move it makes from here puts your wealth at risk.
If they raise rates-your retirement accounts and home value suffer.
If they cut rates-your dollars lose purchasing power overnight.
Either way, the outcome is the same: everyday savers lose, while Wall Street insiders quietly position themselves to profit.Get Your Free Protection Guide Now
As with many small, pre-revenue nuclear companies, 2025 has been a roller coaster for NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR). Through mid-October, shares were up nearly 200%; since then the stock has collapsed, down about 61% from its peak.
Much of the decline followed the firm’s disappointing Q3 earnings report.
The company generated less revenue than expected and posted a large loss of $1.85 per share, versus analysts’ forecast of an 11-cent loss.
The miss was mainly due to NuScale’s $128.5 million payment to ENTRA1 Energy, intended to fast-track a major deployment of six gigawatts of nuclear energy in partnership with the Tennessee Valley Authority.
While the payment is meant to accelerate project timelines, it created a substantial near-term financial hit, and the market reacted negatively.
Shares fell 14% on Nov. 6 and have traded lower since. Since the report, NuScale is down about 45%, with Royal Bank of Canada lowering its price target from $35 to $32.
Constellation Misses, but Calpine Deal Leaves Investors Sanguine
Next up is Constellation Energy (NASDAQ: CEG), the United States’ largest operator of nuclear facilities. Shares of CEG are down around 16%since their mid-October highs, but have still delivered a total return of 52% year-to-date.
Constellation reported Q3 earnings before the market opened on Nov. 7. Despite missing on both sales and adjusted earnings per share (EPS), the stock gained about 2% that day.
That modest rally likely reflected Constellation holding the midpoint of its full-year adjusted EPS guidance and positive news on its acquisition of Calpine, which it expects to close by year-end.
The deal would make Constellation the nation’s largest clean-energy provider, giving the firm coast-to-coast scale. Constellation expects the acquisition to boost adjusted EPS by more than 20% in 2026 and to add at least $2 per share to EPS for multiple years thereafter. That is notable given it expects adjusted EPS of $9.05 to $9.45 in 2025. Analysts at Citigroup raised their price target from $337 to $368, signaling longer-term confidence despite the near-term weakness.
Oklo Receives Multiple Positive Price Targets After Regulatory Success
Oklo (NYSE: OKLO) reported a wider-than-expected loss per share of 20 cents versus an expected 13-cent loss. Like NuScale, the company is pre-revenue. Despite the EPS miss, shares rose nearly 7% the day after the earnings release.
The rally was driven by an important regulatory milestone: the U.S. Department of Energy approved Oklo’s Nuclear Safety Design Agreement for its Aurora Fuel Fabrication Facility, where the company plans to recycle used nuclear fuel for next-generation reactors.
Analysts responded with several strong price targets. B. Riley more than doubled its target from $58 to $129. Wedbush and Cantor Fitzgerald issued $150 and $122 targets, respectively. Even Bank of America’s trimmed forecast—from $117 to $111—was relatively measured, leaving the overall analyst reaction broadly positive.
Despite the enthusiasm, shares remain down around 45% since their mid-October high, reflecting the broader pullback in many high-flying and speculative nuclear names. Still, Oklo shares are up nearly 350% year-to-date, underscoring continued speculative interest.
Nuclear Stocks Continue to Get Beaten Down
Lately, nuclear stocks have struggled as a group. Since Oct. 15, the VanEck Uranium and Nuclear ETF (NLR) is down by about 23%.
Among the three names above, Oklo’s Q3 resultsappear to have been the most well-received. Still, the stock market is trimming many of 2025’s high-flying nuclear stories back to earth.
