I’ve spent 45 years studying the markets — calling Black Monday six weeks before it happened… predicting the fall of the Berlin Wall… pinpointing the exact bottom in 2009.

But what I’m about to share with you is the boldest prediction of my career.

After meeting Elon Musk face-to-face at a private gathering of Wall Street elites, I’m now staking my reputation on one date.

March 26, 2026.

This Week’s Bonus Article

Archer Aviation: The Billion-Dollar Battleground 

By Jeffrey Neal Johnson. Article Posted: 2/24/2026. 

Key Points

• Major institutional asset managers have increased their equity stakes in Archer Aviation, demonstrating strong confidence in its aircraft’s commercial viability.
• The strategic manufacturing partnership protects the balance sheet by absorbing the significant capital costs of infrastructure development.
• A tightening supply of available shares, coupled with high short interest, creates a market setup where positive news could trigger upward momentum.
• Special Report: [Sponsorship-Ad-6-Format3]

Volatility has returned to the electric aviation sector with a vengeance, leaving many retail investors wondering if the flight path has permanently changed. Investors in Archer Aviation (NYSE: ACHR) have experienced significant whiplash over the last 30 days, watching the stock rally to nearly $9 in late January before sliding back to about $6.93 in late February.

To the untrained eye, this roughly 20% drop looks like a warning sign. Seasoned market watchers, however, know this dramatic round-trip isn’t random market noise — it’s the result of a high-stakes clash between two powerful forces.

Skip Headlines Straight to Original Research (Ad)

Our investment research analysts are going to be releasing their next investment idea tomorrow morning, around 10:00 AM Eastern time.Add yourself to the distribution list here.

On one side, institutional investors are quietly accumulating millions of shares, betting on the company’s long-term prospects. On the other, short sellers are betting against Archer, alleging certification delays and alleging operational silence. The stock is now trapped in a defined trading range, waiting for a catalyst to break the deadlock.

That catalyst arrives this week. The market faces a binary window with two critical events: Joby Aviation’s (NYSE: JOBY) earnings report on Wednesday and Archer’s own financial update next Monday. How those two events play out will likely dictate the stock’s trajectory in the first half of 2026.

The BlackRock Backstop: A Floor for the Stock Price

While day traders react to scary headlines, the world’s largest asset managers focus on balance sheets. In late January, an SEC filing revealed a significant vote of confidence in Archer’s future: BlackRock Inc., the largest asset manager in the world, filed an amended Schedule 13G showing it has increased its passive stake in Archer to 8.1%.

For retail investors, this matters. BlackRock is not a venture-capital backer that chases moonshots — it is a risk-averse firm. For a company of BlackRock’s size to hold nearly 10% of a volatile, pre-revenue aerospace business suggests its internal due diligence contradicts the bearish narrative. Institutional investors generally have access to data, models, and management access retail traders do not. Their decision to buy during the dip implies they view the current price as a discount rather than a trap.

Backing this financial floor is Archer’s ongoing partnership with Stellantis (NYSE: STLA), arguably the company’s biggest competitive moat. Unlike some competitors forced to spend hundreds of millions building factories from scratch, Archer leverages Stellantis to absorb heavy capital costs for manufacturing infrastructure. That capital shield preserves Archer’s cash for certification and R&D. For many investors, the presence of BlackRock and Stellantis suggests that at sub-$7.00 levels the stock rests on a reasonably solid foundation.

The Price of Uncertainty: Fear as a Strategy

If institutional backing is so strong, why did the stock drop in February? The answer is market psychology. On Feb. 11, a short-seller report circulated alleging flight logs show no recent testing of the flagship Midnight aircraft and predicting FAA certification could slip to 2028, two years behind the company’s public timetable.

Markets hate uncertainty more than they hate bad news. Because Archer entered a quiet period ahead of its earnings release, management has been limited in what it can say publicly. That regulatory silence allowed the negative narrative to fester, prompting panicked retail selling and amplifying the move lower.

But this dynamic creates a classic market dislocation. Short sellers profit when prices fall, so they have an incentive to spread fear. That in turn sets a trap: if Archer can show on Monday that flight testing has continued on schedule, the basis for the sell-off collapses. Monday’s earnings call is now as much about defending the company’s integrity as it is about the financials.

Wednesday’s Warning Shot: Watching Joby Aviation

Before Archer takes the stage, investors should watch the competition. On Wednesday, Feb. 25, rival Joby Aviation reports earnings, and in emerging sectors the market leader often sets the tone for the entire group — a phenomenon traders call a sympathy trade.

If Joby misses revenue targets or announces certification delays, Archer could fall in sympathy before it even reports. A weak Joby report would bolster critics who argue the entire industry is stalled, so this is a real near-term risk.

That said, a divergence could work in Archer’s favor. Joby has recently faced headwinds, including a Sell initiation from Goldman Sachsamid valuation concerns. Joby currently trades at a premium, while many analysts view Archer as the value play. If Joby falters, capital might rotate from the expensive leader into the undervalued competitor — provided Archer can show execution is on track.

Monday’s Verdict: The $2 Billion Question

The main event is Monday, March 2, when Archer releases Q4 and full-year 2025 results. While headline algorithms will latch onto EPS, investors should treat that number cautiously. Analysts expect a loss of $0.24 per share — but profitability is not the immediate goal for a company in the certification phase.

The real signals will be two metrics: Cash Burn and Liquidity.

• Cash Burn: The whisper number is under $110 million for the quarter. Continued disciplined spending would be a strong positive.
• Liquidity: Management needs to show cash and available liquidity near $2 billion to demonstrate runway toward commercialization without immediate dilution.

Beyond the math, CEO Adam Goldstein must use the call to silence the bears. Investors will look for three specific confirmations to rebuild confidence:

• Flight logs: A clear update on Phase 4 testing to prove the aircraft is actively flying.
• Timeline: A firm rebuttal of the 2028-delay rumor and a reaffirmation of the company’s 2026 commercialization goal.
• Strategy: Progress updates on the new U.K. engineering hub and the NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) partnership to show global expansion and technical momentum.

The 17% Trap: A Coiled Spring

Tension between institutional buyers and short sellers has created a technical setup often described as a coiled spring. Short interest in Archer has risen to roughly 17% of the float — about 90 million shares sold short.

But the tradable float — the number of shares actually available to buy and sell — is smaller than headline figures suggest. BlackRock, Stellantis, and insiders hold large, typically non-trading positions, constraining available supply. That creates a risky posture for the bears.

If Archer rebuts the delay rumors Monday with credible, constructive news, short sellers could be forced to buy back shares to cover losing positions. With limited supply, that squeeze could quickly push the stock back into the $8.00–$9.00 range.

The Final Approach: Time to Choose a Side

Archer enters this week priced for imperfection at about $6.93. Downside is partially protected by institutional support from BlackRock and Stellantis, while upside is amplified by high short interest that could force a rapid cover if the company delivers positive news.

Volatility is all but guaranteed. Investors should watch Wednesday’s Joby report for early clues on the sector, but the decisive moment is Monday’s Archer update. If management executes and addresses the key concerns, institutional buyers will look prescient and the negative cloud around the stock could dissipate. This week is a time to watch the data, not the noise.

This Week’s Bonus Article

Unmanned Profits: The New Kings of the Modern Battlefield

By Jeffrey Neal Johnson. Article Posted: 3/6/2026. 

Key Points

• AeroVironment’s battle-proven loitering munitions have become an essential tool for modern ground forces, driving significant revenue growth.
• Kratos is pioneering the future of air combat with its high-performance, attritable aircraft, designed to serve as a powerful force multiplier.
• Red Cat’s strategic partnerships are rapidly expanding its capabilities into new defense domains, including counter-drone systems and maritime security.
• Special Report: [Sponsorship-Ad-6-Format3]

The 21st-century battlefield looks fundamentally different from how it was just a decade ago. The new calculus of conflict is no longer solely determined by the number of tanks or fighter jets a nation possesses. Instead, strategic dominance is increasingly won through the deployment of sophisticated, cost-effective, and often expendable unmanned systems. This technological pivot has been on full display in recent global conflicts, where swarms of intelligent drones have proven capable of altering the course of entire battles—delivering precision strikes and valuable intelligence without risking a single human life.

This paradigm shift has created a distinct opportunity for investors. While the entire defense sector has garnered attention, the most direct exposure to this trend is not found within the diversified portfolios of defense conglomerates. Rather, it lies with specialized, pure-play companies whose growth is directly tethered to the success of unmanned technology.

AeroVironment: The Battle-Tested Industry Standard

Skip Headlines Straight to Original Research (Ad)

Our investment research analysts are going to be releasing their next investment idea tomorrow morning, around 10:00 AM Eastern time.Add yourself to the distribution list here.

AeroVironment (NASDAQ: AVAV) has solidified its position as an industry standard in the unmanned aerial systems (UAS) space. With deep, long-standing ties to the U.S. Department of Defense, the company is a foundational player whose technology is considered essential for modern infantry tactics. Its flagship product, the Switchblade family of loitering munitions, has become synonymous with the kamikaze drone concept, delivering precision kinetic effects that have proven highly effective on the front lines in Ukraine and other conflict zones. This real-world success is reflected in the company’s financials, with recent quarterly revenue up more than 150% year-over-year.

Recent stock volatility has been linked to headlines surrounding the U.S. Space Force SCAR program. A closer look, however, shows this is not a lost contract but a strategic renegotiation to establish a firm-fixed-price deal for a commercial product—something that could deliver more predictable, stable long-term revenue. In a clear signal of management’s confidence in future demand, AeroVironment announced a significant expansion of its manufacturing capacity. The move is designed to scale production for anticipated large orders, positioning the company to meet growing needs from the U.S. military and its allies for its proven systems.

Kratos: Building the High-Tech Future of Air Combat

Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (NASDAQ: KTOS) is carving out a niche as a high-tech innovator focused on next-generation unmanned combat aircraft. The company is a market disruptor with a portfolio of high-performance, attritable jets, including the XQ-58A Valkyrie. These systems are designed to fly as loyal wingmen alongside manned fighter jets, acting as a force multiplier by scouting, deploying weapons, and drawing enemy fire—all at a fraction of the cost of a traditional aircraft. This strategy directly addresses the Pentagon’s need to generate mass against near-peer adversaries without breaking the budget.

This ambitious vision requires substantial capital, and investors have taken note, sending the stock up more than 200% over the past year. The company recently raised over $1 billion through a public offering. While such a move can create short-term pressure on the share price, it is best understood as a strategic decision to build a war chest. These funds are intended to scale production facilities, accelerate research and development, and strengthen the company’s balance sheet to win and execute multi-billion-dollar program-of-record contracts. Further diversifying its business, Kratos has also secured orders for advanced counter-drone systems, demonstrating capability on both the offensive and defensive sides of unmanned warfare.

Red Cat: The Agile Disruptor Seizing New Domains

Red Cat Holdings (NASDAQ: RCAT) is a smaller, more agile contender in the drone space, focusing on versatile small UAS for ground forces, such as its Teal 2 system, which provides critical night-vision capabilities for individual soldiers. The company has recently drawn investor attention not just for its drones, but for a forward-thinking strategy of integrating advanced third-party capabilities to rapidly expand its market reach. The stock’s year-to-date performance, up over 80%, reflects that enthusiasm.

A key driver of this performance is a strategic partnership with Allen Control Systems. The collaboration will integrate Allen Control Systems’ Bullfrog AI-powered autonomous weapon station onto Red Cat’s platforms. The move achieves two important objectives: it propels Red Cat into the lucrative Counter-UAS (C-UAS) market, and the initial integration will be on the company’s unmanned surface vessels (USVs), expanding Red Cat from a drone-only firm into a multi-domain technology provider for both air and sea. This strategic pivot meaningfully increases the company’s total addressable market and outlines a clear path toward accelerated growth.

Finding Your Fit in the Drone Sector

Understanding the distinct profiles of these three companies is key to aligning any potential investment with an individual’s financial strategy. Each offers a different level of exposure to the drone-warfare thesis.

• AeroVironment: The Established Leader. With a market capitalization of over $11 billion, AVAV presents a more mature investment profile. Its growth is tied to proven technology and the ongoing need for militaries to procure and replenish tactical loitering munitions.
• Kratos: The High-Tech Innovator. Valued at over $15 billion, Kratos offers a higher-growth profile centered on disruptive, next-generation systems. Its future depends on securing massive, long-term government contracts for its advanced attritable aircraft.
• Red Cat: The Agile Disruptor. With a market cap under $2 billion, RCAT represents a higher-risk, higher-reward opportunity. Its smaller revenue base is offset by the potential for rapid expansion as it penetrates markets such as C-UAS and maritime defense.

A Clearer View of the 21st-Century Battlefield

The notable growth shown by these specialized drone companies is not a fleeting trend but a reflection of a fundamental, enduring shift in military strategy. While large defense conglomerates offer stability, their size dilutes the impact of any single high-growth sector. For investors seeking direct exposure to the unmanned-systems revolution, the distinct profiles of AeroVironment, Kratos, and Red Cat provide a spectrum of compelling opportunities. Together, they represent a focused way to participate in the accelerating, technology-driven future of the defense industry.

The breakout fired. You took the entry. Then it reversed and stopped you out — again.

It’s not your analysis. It’s not your timing. It’s a squeeze trap. The market creates the appearance of a move, triggers entries, then snaps back violently. Most traders don’t fail because they’re wrong. They fail because they’re baited.

Tomorrow at 2PM ET, Brandon Chapman is replaying his Squeeze Traps session — where he breaks down exactly how to spot the difference between a fake out and the real deal before price confirms it. 

You’ll see the Ghost Prints system that caught 375% on KSS, 222% on PLUG, and dozens of setups the crowd missed completely.

Don here…

The S&P 500 is only down 13 points on the session. In the context of what we’ve seen lately, that’s massively unchanged.

Do not let your guard down.

The options market is pricing in a $224 expected move on the week. The actual move so far is 30 points. The week opened at 6,740 and we’re sitting at 6,770 right now.

That kind of compression tells you the market is coiled. It’s waiting for a catalyst, and the catalysts are stacked up on Friday’s calendar: durable goods, GDP, PCE, consumer sentiment, and JOLTS all land on March 13th.

Even the Friday expiration alone still carries nearly a $100 expected move with only two sessions left. That is significant.

Here’s what I’m watching in tonight’s video:

• The VIX is sitting in an intense zone at 24 to 25, volatility futures remain in backwardation, and the VVIX is printing 123. Nobody is giving up their hedges.
• Downside convexity is the defining feature of this tape. A rally gets us back to 7,100. A breakdown takes the S&P to the low 6,000s. That’s roughly 300 points of upside versus 700 points of downside risk.
• The S&P is only 3.5% removed from its all time high. The peak to trough selloff so far has been about 5%. This market hasn’t even begun to sell off in any meaningful way.
• Financials are oversold after breaching the expected move to the downside for multiple consecutive weeks. I see a short term bounce trade targeting a move back to the 51 to 52 level.
• I have a spread on Microsoft positioned for a retest through the $400 level, and a bounce and fade trade on FXI where sell side activity has been dominant.

Spreads are the strategy right now. You don’t have to be right on direction. You just have to be in trades and let the volatility work in your favor.

CPI data comes in as expected… unfortunately, it’s already outdated… aluminum is jumping… how to play it… Alcoa looks like it’s headed for a breakout

VIEW IN BROWSER

This morning, the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) numbers came in as expected.

Headline inflation increased 0.3% for the month and 2.4% on the year – both numbers matched consensus forecasts.

Meanwhile, core CPI (which strips out volatile food and energy prices) edged 0.2% higher on the month and 2.5% over the last year. These numbers were also in line with estimates.

One noteworthy part of the report came from the shelter component, the CPI’s largest weighting…

For years, stubbornly high shelter prices put upward pressure on the overall inflation reading. But this morning, this component came in at 0.2% on a month-over-month basis. And within it, rent costs rose just 0.1% – the smallest monthly increase since January of 2021.

But the main headline from this morning’s report? These numbers don’t matter.

Under normal circumstances, today’s CPI figures would be exactly what investors want to see – more confirmation that inflation is gradually easing and the Federal Reserve can inch closer to cutting interest rates.

But the data reflect the economy that existed before the oil shock triggered by the Iran war.

So, while the numbers were largely good, they’re already outdated.

The biggest variable in the inflation outlook today isn’t rent, eggs, or deodorant…

It’s oil.

As you know, the Iran conflict triggered a sudden spike in crude prices, briefly sending oil soaring to roughly $115 per barrel on Sunday evening at the height of the panic.

Since then, prices have pulled back sharply, falling into the upper-$80s as I write on Wednesday at lunch.

That drop is resulting in many investors breathing a sigh of relief – the assumption being that the worst of the inflation scare is already behind us.

But while that drop from $115 to $87 grabs the headlines and is somewhat comforting, is it the right focal point for investors?

Wouldn’t the more relevant comparison be current prices to where oil traded before the conflict erupted?

Over the week before U.S. strikes on Iran – February 21–27 – the average price of West Texas Intermediate Crude (WTIC) was just over $65 a barrel.

That means today’s WTIC price is 34% higher than it was two weeks ago.

The key question today is whether oil settles back toward its earlier range or becomes entrenched at higher levels.

This morning, the International Energy Agency (IEA) agreed to release 400 million barrels of oil – its largest release ever – to smooth the disruption caused by the war in the Middle East.

From IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol:

The oil market challenges we are facing are unprecedented in scale, therefore I am very glad that IEA Member countries have responded with an emergency collective action of unprecedented size.

Will it be enough to bring WTIC prices back into the $60s?

The answer will matter far more for the inflation outlook than anything in this morning’s CPI report.

We’ll keep tracking this.

Louis Navellier’s Warning: “We’re Witnessing an Extinction Event in Real-Time”

Wall Street legend Louis Navellier, who managed $7 BILLION in assets, has released a controversial video from his Palm Beach estate. He warns of an economic event unlike anything in history, creating both unprecedented wealth and devastating losses. Watching this may be the most consequential few minutes you spend this year.

Oil isn’t the only commodity reacting to the war

Another key industrial metal quietly surged last week as supply fears rippled through global markets – aluminum.

As our global macro investing expert Eric Fry, editor of Fry’s Investment Report, recently noted, the conflict in the Persian Gulf has sent aluminum prices surging nearly 10%, pushing the metal to a three-year high.

Source: TradingEconomics

The Middle East supplies roughly 9% of the world’s aluminum, meaning any disruption to shipments can quickly ripple through global supply chains.

But volatility can create an opportunity for investors. Plus, even if tensions cool, aluminum still enjoys a powerful structural tailwind.

Here’s Eric explaining:

If the war continues to create a global aluminum shortage, mining companies could stand to benefit…

And beyond the escalating conflict, aluminum demand has increased thanks to AI’s need for infrastructure and hardware…

Every high-voltage line that feeds an AI data hub consumes 1 to 2 tons of aluminum per megawatt of delivered power. Each new stretch of long-distance transmission deepens the world’s appetite for this versatile metal. 

From 104 million tons of demand in 2024 to an estimated 120 million by 2030, global aluminum consumption is set to grow relentlessly.

This lines up perfectly with a theme we’ve been highlighting in recent Digests – investing in the “physical backbone” of AI.

Even if the AI trade runs into headwinds, AI itself isn’t going away. Some software platforms and high-multiple application stocks may struggle, but the infrastructure powering AI will remain essential.

This means datacenters, advanced semiconductors, power generation, and rare earths and critical minerals/metals – like aluminum – remain mission-critical.

So, how do you invest?

Eric just highlighted Alcoa (AA), the largest U.S.-based aluminum producer. His Investment Report subscribers are up 71% in this position, but as AI demand increases, that return is likely to keep climbing.

Back to Eric:

After suffering a tariff-induced selloff earlier in the year, Alcoa’s shares have been trending higher.

I expect that uptrend to gain momentum – driven not only by firmer aluminum prices, but also by the company’s exceptional fundamentals…

In the end, the market may reward not those who build the virtual world, but those who power it. The AI Revolutionwill always need its dreamers, but it will depend on the miners that turn metal into its bones.

Now, while Eric just outlined the fundamental case for owning AA, traders should watch AA’s developing technical setup…

Is AA about to resume its breakout?

In the AA chart below, I overlay a stage-analysis framework.

Stage analysis is a classic trading approach popularized by legendary technician Stan Weinstein and frequently used by our hypergrowth expert Luke Lango.

Notice how AA spent much of the past year in a classic Stage-2 advance. But here in 2026, it’s transitioned into Stage 3 – a pause where buyers and sellers battle to determine the next major move.

To make sure we’re all on the same page, stage analysis simply breaks every stock’s life cycle into four phases:

• Stage 1: A bottoming period where prices move sideways
• Stage 2: A sustained advance driven by heavy buying pressure
• Stage 3: A topping pattern where momentum fades
• Stage 4: A decline as sellers take control

The biggest gains occur during Stage 2, when a stock breaks out of a base and begins trending higher for months – sometimes years.

This is exactly what Alcoa did last year. After volatile basing in 2023 and 2024, AA finally broke out in 2025, with its gains accelerating last fall.

That advance carried the stock all the way into the mid-$60s earlier this year, where it has since been consolidating in Stage 3.

Now, as I noted earlier, in this stage, buyers and sellers battle for where the stock goes next. So, traders need to watch price action and volume closely to make sure they avoid buying in as AA slips into Stage 4.

However, given Eric’s macro analysis, we believe the fundamental winds are far more likely to push AA back into Stage 2.

This leaves the technicals as the potential starting gun for the next leg higher.

Specifically, if Alcoa breaks convincingly above its recent trading range (around $66) on heavy volume – roughly two to three times normal levels – that would signal Stage-2 momentum is likely returning. And that’s a breakout to consider buying.

Stage analysis is about letting price reveal what’s happening in real time

If AA pushes higher, the chart will confirm it…

If it breaks lower, price will tell that story just as clearly…

This focus on price action sits at the core of Luke’s stage-analysis trading approach.

The challenge is that spotting these Stage-2 breakouts consistently isn’t easy. Thousands of stocks are trading at any given moment, and only a small fraction are setting up for the kind of moves traders want to capture.

That’s why Luke and his team built a system designed specifically to scan the market for the best opportunities.

Here he is explaining how it works:

Identifying true Stage 2 breakouts across thousands of stocks before they move requires serious analytical horsepower.

That’s why my team and I have built a system that quantifies the stage analysis framework into a proprietary scoring model – grading thousands of stocks in the market from 0 to 5 based on the strength of their momentum setup.

In back-testing, it flagged eight of 2025’s top-performing stocks before their big runs, including:

Insiders Step in to Buy These 3 Tanking Stocks

Written by Leo Miller on March 10, 2026 

Key Points

• Insiders are buying KKR after the stock has lost over a third of its value as investors assess the risks of the firm’s investment portfolio from multiple angles.
• After surging 250% on its IPO day, Figma is trading below its opening price and has seen over $30 million in insider buying.
• Reddit is down almost 50% from its highs, and one insider is buying as the company’s financials improve.
• Special Report: 5 Stocks Under $5(From TradingTips)

Amid precipitous falls in their share prices, several key stocks are flashing bullish signals through a key indicator: insider buying. This includes a leading financial servicescompany, a creative design disruptor, and a social media platform whose shares have soared by more than 300% in two years.

Iran isn’t the real war (Ad)

Everyone is watching Iran—the drones, the missiles, the Strait of Hormuz—and oil prices are spiking with gas up 43 cents in a single week. But according to investment analysts Porter Stansberry and Luke Lango, Iran isn’t the real story. The real story is what Trump just did to China. China buys 90% of Iran’s oil exports, and 50% of all China’s oil imports flow through the Strait of Hormuz, which is now a ghost town with commercial ships stopped. That means China’s energy lifeline just got severed, and China needs that energy to power its AI war machine. Without oil flowing through the Strait of Hormuz, that edge starts to crumble, which is exactly why Trump signed Executive Order 14365 declaring AI and advanced computing strategic national assets—the U.S. isn’t just bombing Iran, it’s cutting off China’s fuel supply for the AI arms race.See the New 1776 briefing with 10 stocks to sell immediately

KKR Sees Big Insider Buying as Markets Rock Shares

KKR & Co. (NYSE: KKR) is the world’s fifth-largest alternative asset management company, controlling more than $700 billion in assets. However, the stock is down more than 35% from its all-time high, as artificial intelligence (AI) disruption fears rip through the market.

Specifically, investors worry that AI could hurt the businesses KKR invested in or loaned to, potentially significantly damaging their returns. This is particularly true of software investments, given the advent of “vibe-coding” and AI lab product releases.

Amid this, KKR insiders are aggressively buying the company’s stock. In 2026, insiders have purchased approximately $40 million worth of shares. Over the same period, MarketBeat has not tracked any insider selling.

This bullishness may come because KKR says its $740 billion in assets under management has only around 7% exposure to software. This is well below its industry, as well as equity and credit indexes, according to the company. Part of its underexposure here was due to the company’s cautiousness in 2021, when many in KKR’s industry overinvested in software businesses.

Still, there are other significant risks outside of software exposure, particularly the “Bermuda Triangle” private credit strategy used by firms like KKR that are worrisome.

FIG Insider Piles in After Fall from Grace

Next up is Figma (NYSE: FIG), a digital design company that has been challenging the dominance of Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE).

The stock catapulted 250% on its first day of trading in mid-2025, but has since crashed. Overall, the stock has lost all of its first-day gains and more. It trades near $29 per share, solidly below its $33 IPO price. Notably, fears around AI software disruption have also hit Figma hard.

However, insider Reed Andrew Phillips is stepping in amid the carnage, purchasing over $36 million worth of Figma stock in February. Phillips bought these shares at an average price near $25, around 15% above the stock’s current level. Given the moderate move in Figma shares since then, these buys are likely still a bullish signal for investors.

On the other hand, it may concern investors that Figma’s insider selling in 2026 is near $50 million, exceeding Phillip’s purchases. However, essentially all of these sales came under predetermined 10b5-1 plans or contained other mitigating circumstances. This limits the bearish signal that they provide, helping preserve the bullish sentiment surrounding Phillip’s purchases.

Still, as a recently public company, many insiders are looking to gain liquidity by selling their Figma shares, likely creating an overhang on the stock.

U.S. Investors Racing to Tap Massive U.S. Government Silver Hoard 

Between 1932 and 1964, the government acquired thousands of tons of silver. 90% pure. Certified by the U.S. Treasury.

Today, this hoard has shrunk by 75%… as Americans have raced to secure their share. The crazy thing about this hoard is, you can tap into it and acquire real, hold-in-your-hand silver for as little as $6.

RDDT: Revenue, Margins, Buybacks, and Insider Buying Are Up

Discussion platform Reddit (NYSE: RDDT)has seen its share price go on an absolutely wild ride since going public in early 2024.

The stock shot up 48% in its first day of trading from its IPO price of $34. Shares reached as high as $270 in the second half of 2025. However, the stock has plummeted almost 50% from that level, now trading near $140. Still, shares remain up over 300% from their initial price.

AI disruption fears have likely also affected Reddit shares, with many of the stock’s biggest down days recently coinciding with significant drops in software names. Despite this, the company has generated rapid revenue growth of between 68% and 78% over the last three quarters on the back of its advertising revenue momentum. Reddit also posted its highest-ever adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margin last quarter at 45%.

While the company indicated confidence going forward by announcing a new $1 billion buyback authorization, one insider is also providing a bullish signal.

In February, director Sarah Farrell purchased approximately $7.6 million worth of Reddit stock. Notably, Farrell bought these shares at an average price near $148, moderately above the stock’s current level. Reddit has also experienced significant insider selling in 2026. However, similar to Figma, essentially all of these came under 10b5-1 plans.

Evaluating Insider Activity Alongside Broader Fundamental Analysis

Overall, insider purchases at KKR, FIG, and RDDT are all positive signs for these stocks that have taken serious tumbles. However, investors should remember that insider purchases are just one important indicator to consider when evaluating individual stocks.
