$10B TikTok Fee for White House

The Trump administration is set to collect roughly $10 billion from investors who took control of TikTok’s U.S. operations, according to reports from the Wall Street Journal, a near-unprecedented fee for a government’s role in brokering a private deal.

Oracle, Silver Lake, and Abu Dhabi investor MGX paid the Treasury about $2.5 billion at the deal’s close in January, with additional payments scheduled to continue until the total reaches $10 billion.

Vice President JD Vance has said the new U.S. entity is valued at about $14 billion, a figure some analysts say dramatically undervalues the platform and its 170 million American users. The deal adds to a growing list of administration moves extracting value from the private sector, including a 10% stake in Intel and a cut of Nvidia chip sales to China.★★★
Iran Rejects Talks with US

President Trump said Saturday that Iran wanted to make a deal but that the terms weren’t good enough, demanding Tehran abandon its nuclear ambitions and adding that he’s hearing the new supreme leader may “not be alive”.

Iran’s foreign minister fired back Sunday, saying Tehran has never asked for a ceasefire and insisting the new leader is in “good health,” though he has yet to appear publicly.

Israel said it struck more than 200 targets across Iran on Sunday alone, expanding operations into western and central Iran, while Gulf states reported fresh waves of Iranian drone and missile attacks.

Germany became the first major ally to publicly decline Trump’s call for warships in the Strait of Hormuz, though South Korea, Britain, and Japan said they were reviewing the request.★★★
Trump Rallies World on Hormuz

President Trump is building an international coalition to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, telling reporters aboard Air Force One he’s spoken to “about seven” countries about sending warships to secure the critical waterway.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is deploying the USS Tripoli and its Marine expeditionary unit to the region as Brent crude hovers near $105 a barrel.

Trump posted on Truth Social that the U.S. has “destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability” but acknowledged lingering threats from drones and mines, vowing to keep “bombing the hell out of the shoreline” until the Strait is open.

He also spoke on Sunday by phone with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer about reopening Hormuz to end the disruption to global shipping.
Texas Runoff Heats Up

MAGA voters are pressuring Trump not to endorse Sen. Cornyn in his May 26 runoff against AG Ken Paxton, who offered to drop out if the Senate kills the filibuster to pass the SAVE Act. Trump has yet to pick a side.

Senate Map: GOP Plays Offense

Fox News Digital’s new breakdown of the top 10 Senate battlegrounds shows Republicans eyeing flips in Georgia and Michigan while defending open seats in Maine, North Carolina, Iowa, and Alaska.

Wiles Diagnosed, Staying on the Job

President Trump announced Monday that Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer and will begin treatment immediately while continuing to work full-time at the White House. Trump called her prognosis “excellent.”


ICE Scales Up Detention

ICE plans to boost detention capacity to 92,600 beds under a $38 billion overhaul, including eight mega-centers and 16 processing sites, funded through the One Big Beautiful Bill.

★★★
Mullin Hearing Wednesday 

Sen. Markwayne Mullin’s confirmation hearing to lead DHS is set for March 18 before the Senate Homeland Security Committee, chaired by Sen. Rand Paul. Trump wants him in the job by month’s end.

★★★
SAVE Act Floor Takeover

Trump allies led by Sen. Mike Lee are planning a Senate floor takeover this week to force a marathon debate on the SAVE America Act, modeling it after the 60-day battle that preceded the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

  1. Trump Approval Jumps to 44% — Trump at 44% approve, 54% disapprove, with a Presidential Approval Index of -15. Thirty percent strongly approve while 45% strongly disapprove.
  2. Senate Battleground — Fox News Digital’s analysis of the top 10 Senate races shows Republicans defending seats in Maine, North Carolina, and Alaska while eyeing flips in Michigan and Georgia.
  3. SAVE Act Popular — A Harvard CAPS/Harris poll found 71% of registered voters support the SAVE America Act’s voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements — yet every Senate Democrat has vowed to filibuster it.
  4. Iran War Successful — Sixty-one percent of likely voters say Operation Epic Fury has been successful so far, including 35% who call it “very successful.” Just 29% disagree.

  1. Art of the Deal, TikTok Edition
    The White House is pocketing $10 billion just for brokering a deal that saved 170 million users’ favorite app and kept American data on American soil. Try getting that kind of return from a government program.
  2. Iran’s Phantom Leader
    Trump openly questioned whether Mojtaba Khamenei is even alive. The new supreme leader hasn’t appeared publicly, hasn’t spoken on camera, and his “first statement” was read by a news anchor holding a framed photo. Not exactly a show of strength from Tehran.
  3. Obama’s Own Guys Say Dems Are Cooked
    Two former Obama campaign managers told Axios the Democratic Party is a directionless mess. Jim Messina admitted the party’s midterm strategy is “85-90% driven by opposition to Trump” with no affirmative message. David Plouffe warned Dems can’t win “in what are now red states.” When Obama’s brain trust says you’re lost, you’re lost.
  4. Cuba Is Next
    While Iran burns, Cubans are torching Communist Party headquarters as Trump’s diplomatic moves spark hope across the island. House Intel Chair Rep. Rick Crawford says flat-out: “Cuba is done. It’s just now a question of when, not if.” The dominoes are falling.
  5. Michigan Synagogue Attack: The Threat Is Here
    The attacker who stormed a Michigan synagogue and kindergarten last week was a Lebanese national who lost family members in Israeli strikes on Lebanon. The FBI is investigating it as a targeted act of violence against the Jewish community. This is exactly the kind of threat Trump warned about when he secured the border.

“Iran wants to make a deal, and I don’t want to make it because the terms aren’t good enough yet.”
-President Donald Trump, NBC News interview, March 14, 2026

Elon’s biggest liability

Chaikin Analytics

Editor’s note: As Silicon Valley power players battle to achieve Artificial General Intelligence (“AGI”), a more powerful force threatens to stop AI’s progress dead in its tracks.

According to futurist Eric Fry from our corporate affiliate InvestorPlace, as this critical bottleneck comes to light, investors will witness a market-wide regime change, violently ejecting today’s winners and replacing them with a brand-new class of unexpected companies.

Eric is sharing the full list of companies he says to buy and sell as this $10 trillion market shock unfolds, which you can learn about below…


Dear Reader,

On the morning of August 12, 2024, I sat down in a recording studio in Baltimore and said something that sounded absurd to almost everyone in the room.

I declared that artificial general intelligence (“AGI”) — superhuman AI with its own version of free will — would emerge from Silicon Valley labs in 2026.

At the time, the expert consensus said we had until 2030.

Fast forward to today, and multiple reputable sources are confirming what I predicted: AGI is here.

This is, without question, the most significant technological development in human history.

And yet — here’s where I need you to pay very close attention — it may be the worst possible thing that could happen to your portfolio right now.

The market shock is the counterintuitive call nobody wants to hear — but that could save you from ruin…

AGI is the holy grail that Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Sam Altman have spent hundreds of billions of dollars racing to achieve.

And now that it’s beginning to emerge… the Magnificent Seven stocks that funded that race are the last place you want your money.

I know how that sounds. But it wouldn’t be the first time one of my absurd calls became tomorrow’s reality.

In 2000, when the Internet boom was still booming — and companies like Cisco were growing revenues by 50% a year — I told my readers to get out of tech.

The crowd called it absurd. The charts called it absurd. The headlines called it absurd.

Then the crash came.

Tech stocks I said to sell fell 64% to 85%. Investors who didn’t listen watched years of gains evaporate almost overnight.

But the readers who followed my buyrecommendations into overlooked, asset-heavy companies?

They saw gains of 159%… 206%… 271%… even 1,004% — while everyone else was picking up the pieces.

Here’s exactly how my buy and sell calls looked, side by side:

That’s what happens when you get out in front of a regime change instead of being run over by it.

Join me at FutureProof 2026 by registering for free here.

I believe we are at that same inflection point right now, except…

This time around, the stakes are even higher…

Beginning April 24, a series of announcements out of the world’s most powerful AI companies will expose cracks in the AGI story that Wall Street is not prepared for.

First, the headlines will insist everything is fine.

Then the selling will start.

By the time the average investor figures out why the biggest names in the market are falling by as much as 50%, it will be too late to protect themselves — let alone position for what comes next.

That’s why I’m hosting FutureProof 2026 onWednesday, March 18, at 1 p.m. Eastern time— a free live event where I’ll release my complete Market Shock Profit Playbook, including 15 stock names and tickers I predict could receive an influx of $10 trillion in capital in the wake of the Market Shock.

The readers who acted on my dot-com calls didn’t wait until after the crash to do so.

Neither should you.

Grab your spot at FutureProof 2026 here — it’s free.

I’ll show you exactly which stocks to sell, which to buy, and where I believe the smart money is moving next.

The time to get futureproofed is now.

Sincerely,

Eric Fry
Futurist and Senior Analyst, InvestorPlace

D-Wave Keeps Delivering Good News—So Why Is It Falling?

Author: Nathan Reiff. Originally Published: 3/11/2026. 

D-Wave logo with quantum wave graphics.

Key Points

  • D-Wave Quantum shares remain down about a third year-to-date despite numerous technological and business successes.
  • The company’s bookings and revenue have climbed rapidly alongside gross margin, but operating expenses are also climbing, keeping profitability distant for now.
  • With a major new Fortune 100 client and other sales momentum, D-Wave may test investor patience while it works to bring its financials in line with its valuation.
  • Special ReportTwo AI Stocks Getting Quiet Attention (From Darwin)

A longtime speculative play in the risky and emergent quantum computing industryD-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) looks poised to separate true quantum believers from investors who rode its roughly 168% surge in 2025. Despite that rally, D-Wave shares have mostly traded down or flat through 2026; QBTS is down nearly a third year-to-date.

Some reasons for the pullback are obvious: the company missed analyst expectationson both earnings and revenue in the most recent quarter, and rivals like IonQ Inc. (NYSE: IONQ) may be quietly outperforming on some metrics.

That would make it the biggest IPO in history!Click here to check it out before it’s too late.

Still, several positive developments that might have reversed the downtrend have emerged in recent months.

Specifically, strong bookings growth, a high-profile new deal, and a shift to a two-pronged technological approach have so far failed to right the QBTS ship.

D-Wave’s Rally, Cut Short in October, Waits for a Reason to Relaunch

To understand D-Wave’s current position, it helps to go back to October 2025, when the selloff began. After reaching about $45 per share in mid‑October, QBTS plunged to less than half that level in the following weeks, before a modest recovery into year‑end. There wasn’t a clear fundamental catalyst for the reversal; it may have been profit‑taking or a growing concern that the hype had outpaced D‑Wave’s tangible progress at the time.

If that concern was driving the selloff, the rally could resume once the company delivers evidence that investors have reasons to be excited beyond general market enthusiasm. That evidence has been building in some respects: well over $30 million in bookings so far in 2026, a 265% increase in gross profit for full‑year 2025, and a gross margin approaching 83% last year.

Financials and Tech-Side Potential May Still Be Mismatched

D-Wave’s financial improvements are notable, but two metrics may keep many investors unconvinced that a $45-per-share valuation is justified. First, revenue remains small—about $25 million in 2025—for a company with a roughly $7 billion market capitalization, even though revenue nearly tripled year‑over‑year. Second, operating expenses rose 46% in 2025 to roughly $121 million.

Revenue is growing faster than expenses, and strong bookings and margins are constructive, but the company still appears some distance from reporting a break‑even or profitable quarter. Valuation is another hurdle: D‑Wave’s price/sales ratio is extremely high (about 286.5) while book value is roughly $2.30 per share. Even with a newly announced agreement with a Fortune 100 company, investors may reasonably question D‑Wave’s near‑term commercial viability based on those metrics.

On the technology side, D‑Wave’s potential is compelling—particularly after completing its acquisition of Quantum Circuits earlier in the year, which added a complementary technology stack and should help streamline system design and build.

Wall Street Analysts Remain Bullish, But Retail Investors May Not Have the Patience

Wall Street remains largely bullish: 14 of 16 ratings are a Buy or equivalent, and the consensus price target sits roughly 92% above current levels.

Retail investors, however, may be less willing to maintain a speculative position in a company that could still be some time away from aligning its financials with its technological promise.

Investors who can tolerate the volatility and believe management will grow revenue, rein in expenses, and differentiate D‑Wave’s quantum offerings from competitors may be early in backing a potential industry leader. That outcome is possible, but it’s far from guaranteed, and the timeline remains uncertain.

The Rare Earth Fingerprint Tech – SMX

A message from SmallCaps Daily

SMX Emerges as a Critical Shield for U.S. National Security as Iran Conflict Threatens Rare Earth Flows

The strategic importance of rare earth minerals has skyrocketed amid the rising confrontation between the United States and Iran, as these materials underpin the technology, defense, and energy sectors that power national security.

Australia, a leading producer of rare earths, faces pressure to provide secure, verifiable, and compliant supply chains to meet U.S. demands. SMX (Security Matters) Public Limited (NASDAQ: SMX) offers a transformative solution: a molecular identity platform that embeds an indelible, verifiable signature into each mineral, enabling precise origin tracking from mine to market.

By converting supply chains into intelligent, self-verifying networks, SMXaddresses vulnerabilities that can otherwise be exploited during geopolitical instability, including counterfeiting, tampering, and unauthorized diversion of critical resources.

Operating from Singapore and leveraging Southeast Asia’s stable environment, SMX delivers a globally neutral, resilient, and scalable platform for supply-chain security.

Its technology not only verifies materials but strengthens regulatory compliance, industrial accountability, and defense readiness.

In times of conflict, such as the current Iran-U.S. tensions, this capability becomes indispensable: it ensures that essential rare earths are authenticated, traceable, and shielded from interference.

For governments, multinational enterprises, and defense partners, SMXrepresents more than innovation—it is a safeguard against uncertainty, a reinforcement of national security, and a commitment to transparency in a world where trust is fragile.

Discover why SMX is leading the charge in securing the world’s critical minerals

Why 2 Small Biotechs May Hold the Key to New Cancer Treatments

Submitted by Nathan Reiff. Publication Date: 3/12/2026. 

Microscopic view of cancer cells on a pathology slide, representing oncology research and cancer drug development in biotech.

Key Points

  • Iovance and ImmunityBio each have a leading oncology product that has helped to massively boost sales and share prices in recent quarters.
  • Despite major gains in recent trading, IOVA and IBRX shares still have at least 70% in upside potential going forward, according to analysts.
  • Profitability remains a concern for both companies, even as sales of their top cancer drugs have surged.
  • Special ReportYou’ve Got to See This Pattern Before 2025 Picks Up… (From Stock Wire News)

Cancer remains one of the greatest medical challenges for biotechnology firms, even as the oncology medicine market is expected to grow to $366 billion over the next eight years. Companies often take a niche approach, developing medicines that target specific cancers with tailored mechanisms. Fortunately, a number of promising treatments have shown strong potential—and with that comes the possibility of significant sales.

Two smaller biotech companies are enjoying notable share-price momentum thanks to their leading oncology medicines. Beyond therapeutic promise, these drugs could help the firms move toward greater stability and, potentially, long-term profitability. That said, both remain high-risk investments: each faces clinical, regulatory, or commercial hurdles that could limit upside even as the rewards for success are substantial.

Iovance’s Powerful Cancer Drug Is Growing, But Production Challenges Are a Hurdle

Stopping the Deadliest Animal on Earth (Ad)

Med-X is gearing up for a possible Nasdaq listing (ticker: MXRX). But the real opportunity is now – before they hit the big stage.

Their all-natural pesticides have outperformed chemical brands in independent lab tests, providing safer solutions without sacrificing results.

With $6.4M in sales in just four years, they’re getting ready for the next step.Become a Med-X Shareholder Before Their Nasdaq Plans Unfold

Iovance Biotherapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: IOVA) bucked market trends in early March, jumping nearly 37% in a week when the S&P 500 slipped about 1%. That rally added to IOVA’s strong year-to-date performance, with shares more than doubling so far. Still, with a consensus price target of $8.88, Wall Street sees further upside—implying roughly 71% more gains from current levels.

The main catalyst behind Iovance’s move is its lead therapy, Amtagvi, a T‑cell immunotherapy for certain types of melanoma.

Amtagvi has been approved in the United States since 2024 and is building commercial momentum, with additional approvals likely in the E.U., U.K., and elsewhere. When administered with Proleukin, the company’s IL‑2 immunotherapy, management believes Amtagvi could exceed $1 billion in peak annual U.S. sales.

Its potential may extend beyond melanoma: Amtagvi received FDA Fast Track designation for non‑small cell lung cancer and is being evaluated for other tumor types.

Some of Iovance’s outperformance this year also reflects its Q4 2025 earnings report, issued in late February, in which the company posted narrower‑than‑expected losses per share and reported $5 million in revenue. For the full year, revenue rose roughly 30% year over year.

Iovance is still considered a small (about $2 billion) biotech, and despite the rally, analysts remain cautious—about half of its roughly dozen ratings are Hold or Sell. Risks are significant: in addition to typical small‑biotech concerns, Amtagvi is a personalized therapy that is costly and complex to manufacture. That manufacturing profile could constrain margins and profitability even as demand increases.

Massive Sales Growth for ImmunityBio’s Bladder Cancer Drug

Although ImmunityBio Inc. (NASDAQ: IBRX) fell about 20% in March, its year‑to‑date performance far outpaces Iovance’s. IBRX shares are up nearly 300% in 2026, and analysts remain optimistic: the consensus price target is $13.60, roughly 70% above the stock’s current level.

ImmunityBio’s primary growth driver is Anktiva, a treatment for certain forms of bladder cancer. In February, shares jumped after the E.U. regulator granted conditional marketing authorization—one of several recent approvals globally.

Anktiva is already material to the company’s top line: the drug generated $113 million in sales last year, a roughly 700% year‑over‑year increase.

Like Amtagvi, Anktiva may have potential in other cancer indications, and ImmunityBio is actively exploring additional regulatory designations.

Despite the strong recent performance, IBRX remains speculative and risky.

The company reported a full‑year net loss of $351 million for 2025 as R&D and other expenses remain elevated. Analysts, however, are relatively bullish on ImmunityBio compared with Iovance: six out of seven covering the stock rate it a Buy or equivalent.

ZENA +10% Gains & Breaking News

*Read Disclaimer Sponsored Content

March 17, 2026 | Unsubscribe 

Hello!

Following our alert this morning, ZENA opened today at 2.20, and so far, rallied to a high of 2.42, up +10% this morning.

ZENA is presenting another breakout opportunity – just as it has done multiple times in the past. 

In addition, this morning the company released breaking news that could be an additional growth catalyst. 

Here is the news from this morning: 

“ZenaTech Develops Low-Cost, Single-Use Autonomous Interceptor Drone for ZenaDrone’s Counter-UAS System for US Defense, Middle East, and Ukraine Use”

“VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) (“ZenaTech”), a technology solution provider specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions, announces that its ZenaDrone subsidiary has initiated development of a prototype for a small, one-way interceptor drone designed to stop hostile drones by physically intercepting them in flight. The prototype, called Interceptor-P1, is an autonomous and expendable vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL)-design drone that can be added to the company’s counter-UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System) defense system offering dramatically lower costs than traditional air munitions.”

“The drone addresses a critical asymmetry in modern warfare. Adversaries routinely deploy low-cost commercial and military drones at scale, while conventional intercept solutions, including surface-to-air missiles and laser systems, carry costs that are orders of magnitude higher than the threats they defeat. The Interceptor-P1 prototype is being purpose-built to reverse this equation.”

Here are some of the company’s comments from this press release: 

“The drone threat on modern battlefields is accelerating faster than legacy defense budgets can absorb. Our Interceptor-P1 is being developed to give military and security forces an affordable, scalable answer by creating an interceptor and anti-drone system for a new world of asymmetric warfare,” said Shaun Passley, PhD, ZenaTech CEO. “Our strategy is to offer defense customers a full-spectrum of counter-drone solutions based on persistent maritime patrol with the ZenaDrone 2000 and IQ Glider launch station. Our emerging technologies are also forming a comprehensive, layered, counter-UAS ecosystem for land, sea, and littoral environments with the expendable point-intercept capabilities of the Interceptor P-1. This is exactly the kind of integrated, cost-effective capability that modern defense procurement demands.”

Furthermore: 

“With versatile launch options planned, including ground, vehicle, and maritime deployment via the company’s IQ Glider, maritime drone platform, the Interceptor P-1 is being built to respond rapidly across multiple environments. By offering scalable interception capabilities, it is designed to help defense forces protect critical infrastructure, manage enemy drone swarms, and complement existing air defense systems as a strategic addition to ZenaDrone counter-UAS platform.”

“The company is targeting an initial prototype completion in the upcoming months and will provide further updates on product development, regulatory milestones, and defense and government agency engagement and pilots as progress continues.”

Here are a couple of the things to keep in mind as you are watching this opportunity. 

Continue to watch for it to make higher lows and higher highs, that’s the first sign. 

ZENA has a 20 day moving average of 2.51 – a breakout and close above this level could present increased upside potential. 

ZENA has a 50 day moving average of 3.17, +44% from today’s open.

A close near the highs could be confirmation of upward momentum. 

We are continuing to monitor ZENA for a sustainable breakout higher.
