THE SHORTEST WAY TO A RICH LIFE

Editor’s Note: This will be fun to watch. A former $200 million money manager has agreed to make a “blindfolded” trade using AI. Win or lose, he’s sharing his results, and a way to access this new AI yourself, free of charge…

New AI Signals Trading Debuts April 22

Dear Reader,

Have you tried our new AI Signals Trading system yet?

It detects the most profitable trades – 90 minutes before they occur – by looking for bizarre patterns.

For example, it pointed to a 15.5% gain in 24 hours on Netflix (NFLX)… by finding a relationship between the stock’s Price Candle and the number of people watching the show Squid Game.

A gain you could have boosted to 104% in 24 hours.

Try this yourself right now, free of charge, on 2,467 stocks.

Regards,

Michael Carr
Senior Quant Developer, TradeSmith

P.S. I recently agreed to make a “blindfolded” trade to demonstrate how this works.

In short, I told our CEO I’d put my personal money into a stock I know almost nothing about, by using our new AI Signals Trading system.

Was I nervous?

Not really… because our new AI detects the most profitable trades each morning the market is open, 90 minutes before they occur.

This works in bull or bear markets… with 90% historical accuracy.

How’d my trade work out?

Find out here, and claim free access to our new system while you’re at it (no purchase required).

In fact, we’re posting today’s top 5 trades, tickers included.

Last year alone, we booked a 124% total return in our backtest.

So even if you’re skeptical, at least put a few dollars into one of these AI-selected stocks and see how this new system works for yourself.

Dear Bleeding Edge Reader,

After calling RYCEY at $2 in 2022 (now $16), I found something better. This tiny chip firm just partnered with a tech giant for its breakthrough technology.

• 40% less energy
• Performs up to 100x faster
• set 2 world records.

This could be the greatest stock story ever told.

My happiest followers reported they made up to $8.2M on RYCEY. Now, I found a $2B company with patents the biggest AI firms desperately need. This new chip tech just set 2 world records. Major players are partnering up fast. This could repeat the greatest tech runs in history.

Silicon Valley’s elite are flocking to this unknown firm for one reason: It holds the patents on chip tech that uses 40% less power while performing up to 100x faster. This tiny company just landed a massive partnership. Insiders call it the greatest breakthrough in decades.

And it just partnered with Nvidia. Details here.

This $2B company holds patents Nvidia needs for its new AI super-factories. This chip breakthrough set 2 world records. One analyst calls it “the greatest I’ve seen.” Details here.

Yours in smart speculation,

Karim Rahemtulla

A Courageous Work the World Has Been Waiting for

An important work has been released—one that demands everyone’s attention.

Twenty years ago, Ambassador Sam Brownback was a young member of the U.S. Senate. When he first started hearing horrific stories of forced organ harvesting in China, he didn’t believe them.

“It just seemed too barbaric, too animalistic. This was something out of the Middle Ages, not the twenty-first century,” Brownback said.

He discounted the stories—but to his surprise, they kept coming.

Amb. Sam Brownback speaks at ‘Killed to Order’ book reception at the Cosmos Club in Washington, D.C.

Eventually, Brownback changed his mind. He found he was no different from those in the 1940s who doubted the atrocities committed by the Nazis. A priest once told him, “When we see people no longer as people, but as problems, man is capable of great inhumanity against his fellow man.”

However, when people around the world travel to China for organ transplants, they perhaps involuntarily all become part of such inhumanity.

What can we do about it?—Don’t turn away from it any longer.

After spending two decades covering and researching China’s organ harvesting industry, Jan Jekielek, Epoch Times senior editor and host of “American Thought Leaders,” is exposing everything he’s found in his new book, “Killed to Order.”

Your knowledge on the matter will help make a real difference.

French Quarter Magazine is honoring Epoch Times senior editor Jan Jekielek as Best Author of the Year for his new book, “Killed to Order: China’s Organ Harvesting Industry and the True Nature of America’s Biggest Adversary.” On April 20, the magazine will host an awards ceremony at the French Embassy in Washington.

Exclusive Article from MarketBeat Media

Aeluma’s Market Is Laser-Focused on Fresh Highs—Here’s Why

Author: Thomas Hughes. Posted: 4/20/2026. 

Key Points

• Aeluma’s momentum builds as new government contracts help speed up the time to commercialization.
• Analysts and institutions underpin stock price action in 2026, suggesting new highs can be set.
• April news triggered short-covering, signaling a bottom for this market and limited downside risks.
• Special Report: Elon Musk’s $1 Quadrillion AI IPO

Aeluma’s (NASDAQ: ALMU) market is focused on fresh highs after accelerating its execution strategy and pathway to commercialization. A recent U.S. government contract worth $4 million provided non-dilutive funding to advance its heterogeneous integration platform — a term for one of the most advanced semiconductor packaging approaches available.

The company’s processes combine niche-specific components into a single device, including proprietary compound semiconductor technology, and it is poised to support AI applications.

You’re Being LIED To About The Iran War (Ad)

The mainstream explanation for the Iran airstrikes may not be the full story. Addison Wiggin, Founder of Grey Swan Investment Fraternity, says there’s a deeper motive behind the bombing campaign that most coverage is ignoring.

If you’re making investment decisions based on what you’re hearing in the news, Wiggin argues you could be working with an incomplete picture.Read Addison Wiggin’s full breakdown of the real Iran story

AI is a powerful engine today but is constrained by data bottlenecks across systems. Aeluma’s photonics and laser technologies can help relieve those constraints, as can quantum-related advances. Quantum computers are not poised to replace AI or data centers; instead, quantum dot lasers will enable high-speed optical data transmission that can vastly outperform today’s standards while using less energy. One major advantage of quantum lasers is their speed — fast enough for packet switching in the optical domain without repeated electrical conversions.

Aeluma News Triggers Short-Covering

Aeluma’s mid-April announcement produced a strong market response that was likely supported by short-covering. Short interest was rising ahead of the release: the late March figure was nearly 20% higher than the prior month, increasing in both share count and dollar value.

The likely result is that some short positions began to cover, which helped price action consolidate and reverse. A risk remains that short sellers will reposition at a higher level, given the company’s limited revenue and remaining commercialization hurdles.

The price action following the news was bullish, reflecting a mix of fundamentals and short-covering. Key technicals include firm support near $13 and indicators suggesting further upside. The long upper shadow points to resistance in the $18–$20 range that may cap near-term gains, while an early-April volume spike — trading volume reaching record levels, more than four times the previous high — indicates high-conviction buying and a high probability of short-sellers exiting positions.

The next visible catalyst is the fiscal Q3 2026 earnings report, expected in early May, where revenue is forecast to remain roughly flat at about $1.35 million. Investors will be watching for strategy updates, progress or delays on the path to full commercialization, and compliance with Department of Defense requirements.

Aeluma is not expected to meaningfully ramp revenue until late 2028, though a gradual acceleration is anticipated next year as manufacturing and other technologies begin generating income. Deals such as the recent U.S. government contract are improving the outlook, as analyst trends reflect. MarketBeat tracks only five analysts covering this stock, but coverage has improved over recent quarters. Sentiment is Moderate Buy with an 80% buy-side bias, and upside potential remains ample. The consensus price target has held near $25 since the company’s early-2025 IPO, implying more than 25% upside from mid-April support levels.

Insiders and Institutions Increase Aeluma Volatility in 2026

Insiders have sold ALMU stock in 2026, which is a near-term headwind but not by itself a major red flag. Insiders, including the CEO and a director, still own more than 20% of the company, and institutional buying has offset some of those sales.

Institutions also own more than 20% of the shares and have been accumulating since the IPO. The likely dynamic is continued insider selling to realize gains while institutions keep accumulating. The largest institutional holders include fund managers such as Vanguard and BlackRock, which each hold modest single-digit positions.

The biggest risk for ALMU investors is execution. With revenue and profits still distant, delays would pressure the stock, while positive milestones would drive gains. Other risks include customer concentration (currently driven largely by government research contracts) and dilution. The company will likely need additional capital to reach commercialization and may have to increase its share count over time. Share issuance activity in FY2026 boosted the share count by more than 50%, which has contributed to higher short interest.

Aeluma’s primary corporate partners are Tower Semiconductor (NASDAQ: TSEM) and Sumitomo Chemical (OTCMKTS: SOMMY). Tower is a foundry and fabrication specialist helping with production scale, while Sumitomo Chemical Advanced Technology supports materials and supply chain needs. These relationships position Aeluma for long-term success—the remaining question is how long it will take to reach that point.

This Month’s Bonus Article

Why Anthropic’s Custom Chip Plans Could Benefit Broadcom

Reported by Leo Miller. Article Published: 4/17/2026. 

Key Points

• Broadcom and Anthropic are partnering on a massive TPU deal
• Anthropic is also considering developing its own chips, providing an additional opportunity for Broadcom
• However, whether Anthropic will actually develop its own chips is far from confirmed
• Special Report: Elon Musk’s $1 Quadrillion AI IPO

Large language model developer Anthropic is one of the top names in the artificial intelligence (AI) race and is growing incredibly fast. From the end of 2025 to early April, Anthropic says its annual revenue run rate increased more than threefold, from $9 billion to over $30 billion.

To support that growth, the company is partnering with semiconductor giant Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO). Anthropic plans to access 3.5 gigawatts of Tensor Processing Unit (TPU)-based AI compute through Broadcom over the coming years — the same class of chips Broadcom has co-developed with Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL).

However, reports have emerged that Anthropic is exploring development of its “own” AI chips. For investors, it’s important to understand what that may actually mean — and why Anthropic pursuing in-house chips could, paradoxically, be another big win for Broadcom.

AI Chip Development: Why Anthropic’s Exploration Could Include Broadcom

As first reported by Reuters, Anthropic is “exploring the possibility of designing its own chip,” according to three unnamed sources. The report emphasizes these discussions are at an early stage: Anthropic has not yet assembled a dedicated team and could ultimately opt to buy chips from other suppliers rather than design its own.

If Anthropic does pursue a custom chip, it could still have meaningful implications for Broadcom. Hearing that Anthropic might build “its own” chips may initially worry investors who assume full independence from firms like Broadcom. But history and industry practice suggest a different outcome.

When companies say they plan to develop their own chips, they often mean they will design them in partnership with semiconductor specialists such as Broadcom. The TPU is commonly described as Google’s “own” chip, yet Google has partnered with Broadcom on TPU development for roughly a decade. Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) works with Broadcom on its Meta Training and Inference Accelerator, and Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) partners with Marvell Technology (NASDAQ: MRVL) on its Trainium chips.

Those relationships show a clear trend: even the largest, best-capitalized companies tap semiconductor experts to design bespoke hardware. Despite Anthropic’s rapid growth, it is unlikely to have resources exceeding those of the broader “Magnificent Seven.” Given that, Anthropic partnering with a semiconductor stalwart is a more probable path than a wholly independent effort. If Anthropic does partner with Broadcom on custom chips, the upside for Broadcom could be substantial.

Expanding Beyond TPUs? Why Broadcom Could Benefit

Anthropic currently purchases TPUs, but a joint effort to develop custom chips alongside Broadcom would be attractive to the chipmaker. Customized development requires more engineering and integration work, which typically commands higher margins than a standard procurement arrangement.

Margins might also improve if Google is not part of the partnership. If the TPU agreement includes revenue-sharing between Broadcom and Google, a direct Broadcom–Anthropic deal would remove that dynamic and allow more value to flow to Broadcom. The exact financial terms of the TPU arrangement are not public, however, so the potential benefit is difficult to quantify.

Co-developed chip programs are usually multi-year commitments. While Broadcom already has a multi-year TPU deal with Anthropic, a fully custom solution would likely deepen the relationship and lock in longer-term revenue from one of the fastest-growing AI companies — a clear advantage for Broadcom.

That said, Broadcom is not guaranteed to win any such work. Anthropic also has a strong relationship with Amazon: Amazon has invested $8 billion in Anthropic, and Anthropic uses Amazon’s Trainium chips. That opens the possibility that Marvell, Amazon’s custom-chip partner, could be selected to develop Anthropic’s chip.

Anthropic’s Potential Custom Chip: All Smoke, No Fire at This Point

It’s important to stress that Anthropic’s custom chip may never materialize. Still, if a custom design does move forward, Broadcom and Marvell — among other chip designers — stand to gain. Competition for any deal would extend beyond those two companies, since many firms can provide custom semiconductor expertise.

That said, Broadcom and Marvell currently have the strongest links to Anthropic. Broadcom’s ties are direct, through announced partnerships, while Marvell’s connection stems from Anthropic’s relationship with Amazon. Those existing relationships make both companies natural contenders should Anthropic decide to pursue custom silicon.

“He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.”

— Friedrich Nietzsche

Ivan Pentchoukov
National Editor

Good morning, it’s Tuesday. Here are today’s top stories:

• Despite bans, kids are still dying from social media challenges. Parents who lost children to viral “choking games” hope social media companies will be held accountable, as the debate over safety versus free speech continues.
• Ahead of an anticipated second round of U.S.–Iran talks in Pakistan today, President Donald Trump said that he’s unlikely to renew the truce with Iran if a deal to end the war is not reached before the Wednesday deadline.
• The Supreme Court agreed to decidewhether Colorado may decline to fund Catholic preschools. Two Catholic parishes challenged a state directive that required them to enroll children of same-sex couples to receive public funds. 
• Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is leaving her post for the private sector, the White House said. Deputy Secretary Keith Sonderling will serve as acting secretary. 
• 🍵 Health: What if aging isn’t decline? A new study finds that for many, it isn’t.

Dangerous Games: Kids Still Dying From Challenges on Social Media, Despite Bans

LOS ANGELES—Judy Rogg had waited years for this moment. In late February, a YouTube executive took the stand in a landmark social media addiction trial in Los Angeles—the first to test whether tech companies could be held liable for the design and operation of their platforms and resulting psychological harm to children.

For parents who have lost children to accidental deaths or suicides they say were caused or facilitated by social media, it was a watershed moment, and an emotional one. How would leaders of the world’s most powerful social media companies answer claims that they knew the risks, but targeted young people anyway?

Rogg, now in her 70s, was a little older than the other parents who were a fixture at the trial. She wore a large pin with the image of her son, Erik: freckled, forever 12, his bright blue eyes echoing his mother’s. She lost him in 2010 after he tried a “choking game” challenge, also known as a “blackout challenge,” in which kids attempt to get a brief high by hyperventilating or using ligatures to cut off oxygen until they pass out.

Such games predate the internet, but algorithms and mimetic posting on platforms such as YouTube and TikTok have exponentially amplified their reach, globalizing what was once a localized adolescent dare.

Both companies prohibit dangerous challenges and have become more proactive about removing them, and both use AI to detect and remove underage accounts. Executives have said for years that they can’t find evidence of choking challenges, even suggesting many viral trends are in fact “hoaxes” fueled by media and moral panics.

And yet, kids keep dying after seeing these videos on their apps.

ARTS & CULTURE

“Henry V Discovering the Conspirators,” by Henry Fuseli. Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-Upon-Avon, England.

Shakespeare’s ‘Henry V’ and the Qualities of a Great Leader 

More than one critic has argued that in “Henry V,” William Shakespeare presents his ideal version of a king.

“‘Henry V’ is … a dramatization of what makes for excellence in a good king,” wrote Shakespeare scholar Gideon Rappaport in his excellent book “Appreciating Shakespeare.” “In Henry, Shakespeare’s ideal king, we find virtue, justice, self-knowledge, wit, the power to inspire his followers, and humility before God.”

Assuming that’s the case, what’s the value of a play about ideal kingship today, when the age of kings is long over? Here, we must conceive of kingship more broadly than we’re used to. Many of us fill the role of a “king” in some limited sense: a father, a business leader, a priest. 

The principles of kingliness remain valid and valuable for anyone who holds a position of authority, paternality, and leadership. Studying kingship—particularly Shakespeare’s depiction of its ideal form—teaches us about just rule and the traits necessary for a leader to achieve excellence.

What traits of ideal kingship do we see mirrored in the character of Henry V? He rises up from the page or the stage as an indomitable figure, powerful and lifelike. Henry exemplifies the most important trait of a good leader: acting responsibly.

Even before Henry V takes the stage, we learn from the archbishop of Canterbury that the king recognizes the weight of responsibility entrusted to him. This is the first step for a leader: to take his or her role seriously. The archbishop recounts that after his rather wild youth, Henry quickly sobered up when he realized that the weight of the crown was descending upon his brow. (More)
