Dear Reader,

Shocking secrets are being born right here…

What you’re looking at is the West Wing….

Where just a few weeks ago, I met with Trump and VP J.D. Vance.

My name is Buck Sexton.

I’m a former CIA officer…

And a national security expert. I’ve briefed presidents and built deep, personal ties to nearly every major player in the Trump White House.

High level contacts in my Rolodex include:

Director of National Security Tulsi Gabbard… Speaker Mike Johnson…FBI Director Kash Patel…Steve Bannon… and many more.

But I’m not here to talk about me.

Because what I just learned about what’s unfolding in the White House is truly stunning…

And you need to see it for yourself. 

Once you see what’s unfolding behind the scenes, you’ll understand why I rushed this interview and opportunity to you today.

Best Buy Marketplace: Potential Growth Catalyst or Risky Gimmick?

Written by Chris Markoch. Published 8/28/2025. 

Best Buy store sign

Key Points

  • Best Buy is expanding its product assortment and online presence with the launch of a third-party marketplace.
  • The Best Buy Marketplace model could enhance profitability by generating higher-margin, fee-based revenue.
  • Shares slipped after earnings as softer guidance and consumer spending pressures weighed on sentiment.

Best Buy Co. Inc. (NYSE: BBY) shares fell 4.6% after the retailer reported its second-quarter earnings on August 28. While Best Buy beat consensus on both top and bottom lines and reiterated its full-year guidance, investors are focused on the company’s long-term growth prospects.

Best Buy’s centerpiece for growth is its newly launched Best Buy Marketplace, part of a broader digital strategy to enhance the online shopping experience while leveraging the retailer’s brick-and-mortar footprint. However, the marketplace was only one week old at the end of the quarter, so no sales figures are available yet—and Best Buy cautions it could take several years before the initiative drives a material financial impact.

[Urgent] You’re about to be locked out… (Ad)

Trade on Tuesday. Double by Friday. Rinse and Repeat.

Jim Fink just unleashed the world’s first “rinse and repeat” trade… and it’s helping average investors double their money in as little as a week like clockwork. This unique trade, dubbed “310F,” goes live on Tuesday… and is designed to hand investors a 100% gain in either 3 or 10 days… and always on a Friday. While no trading system is perfect, we’ve been using this unique “Friday Phenomenon” twice a week since 2015 and it has allowed us to walk away with a win 904 out of 926 trades… that’s a 97.6% win rate!Click here to discover how you can use this “odd” trade for yourself.

Proponents argue the marketplace could help Best Buy expand its product assortment without holding additional inventory and boost profitability through higher-margin, fee-based revenue. The platform also taps into Best Buy’s physical network by offering in-store pickup and Geek Squad support—features pure e-commerce players can’t easily replicate.

Marketplace Upsides and Execution Risks

There are three potential advantages to Best Buy’s marketplace model:

  • Expanded assortment: Third-party sellers can broaden Best Buy’s catalog without inventory costs. Management reports strong initial seller interest that could accelerate over time.
  • Improved margins: Fees from third-party sales should generate higher-margin revenue compared to traditional product sales.
  • Omnichannel integration: Customers can buy online and pick up in store or get Geek Squad services, creating a seamless experience that pure online rivals struggle to match.

Yet, launching a marketplace carries notable execution risks. Retail peers such as Target, Macy’s and Walmart have all encountered hurdles—including slow seller adoption, quality control issues, technical integration challenges and traffic constraints. Slow revenue growth and potential brand dilution are real concerns, especially in the early years of a marketplace.

Analyst Outlook and Investor Takeaways

Despite the risks, analysts remain generally bullish on BBY stock. However, investors should listen closely to management’s commentary in the upcoming quarter for any updates on marketplace traction and seller onboarding. Key considerations include:

  • Cannibalization risk: Third-party sellers might undercut Best Buy’s own prices, putting pressure on margins rather than improving them.
  • Strategic focus: Some observers may view the marketplace launch as a distraction from core operations, especially after Best Buy cited “uncertainty of potential tariff impacts” when maintaining its guidance.

Did a “Beat and Stick” Earnings Report Trigger the Selloff?

Best Buy delivered a classic “beat and stick” report—beating estimates but leaving guidance unchanged. Revenue was $9.44 billion, surpassing consensus of $9.28 billion, helped by strong sales of the new Nintendo Switch 2. However, revenue rose just 1.6% year-over-year, suggesting that growth might have been flat without the Switch 2 launch. EPS came in at $1.28, topping the $1.22 forecast but down from $1.34 last year.

Given the market’s preference for upward guidance revisions, Best Buy’s decision to maintain its full-year outlook likely contributed to the post-earnings drop in BBY shares. Investors will now look to next quarter’s marketplace metrics—and any incremental commentary on tariffs and consumer demand—to gauge the trajectory of Best Buy’s growth story.

Less Risk/More Upside With This Trade

InvestorPlace Digest logoWhich country’s stock market is crushing the U.S.’s today… what’s behind the outperformance… Wednesday’s event with Eric Fry… what’s going on with cryptos? … a quick profile of Jonathan Rose’s newest tradeVIEW IN BROWSERQuick – without thinking – which one of your children is your favorite?Yes, yes, you love them equally but in different ways…Unfortunately, investing doesn’t usually work like that. Most of us have a very clear “favorite child,” that we lavish with far too much attention…I’m not referring to a particular stock, but to the U.S. stock market.This tendency has a name: “home country bias.”Put simply, it’s the habit of overweighting investments from your home country far beyond what a balanced, global portfolio would suggest – and Americans are some of the worst offenders.State Street Investment Management found that, last year, 81.3% of the average U.S. stock portfolio was allocated to domestic stocks. This jumbo allocation comes despite U.S. stocks making up only 48.6% of the global stock market cap (as of early 2025) according to Visual Capitalist.Bottom line: We own way more of our own market than we should based on a global market-cap weighting – despite U.S. stocks having some of the most expensive valuations in history.But don’t U.S. stocks always outperform anyway?”No.They have in recent years, but they don’t always.And more recently, as my colleague and global macro investing expert Eric Fry just pointed out, the U.S. hasn’t been the world’s star performer lately:The S&P reached its highest level on record late last month. Yet, the best-performing companies from July 19 to August 19 were not in the S&P 500, which only notched a 2% gain in that stretch. Average valuations were already too high for that…Instead, that prize goes to Japan, with an 11.2% gain.And this isn’t cherry-picking.As you can see below, the iShares MSCI Japan ETF (EWJ) is handily beating the S&P 500 here in 2025 – about 19% higher versus the S&P’s 11% return.Plus, valuations of Japanese stocks provide a lot more runway for additional gains before they begin to approach today’s lofty U.S. valuations.According to WorldPERatio.com, Japan’s stock market price-to-earnings (PE) ratio is just 16.36 – nearly 40% less than the U.S.’s 26.41 PE.If Eric is right, this is a great opportunity for massive upside with reduced risk relative to expensive U.S. stocks:This is just the start of a greater Japanese trend… and it should signal your attention to stocks outside of the United States.Recommended LinkIs Elon Musk Lying? Here’s what all investors must knowTesla is failing. But Elon Musk would prefer you didn’t know that. So he’s done talking cars. It’s now all about the robots! Musk just claimed that 80% of Tesla’s value will “eventually” come from its humanoid, Optimus. However, the real story we’ve uncovered reveals the lies behind Elon’s delusion. Get the details here, including a much better pure-play robotics stock to buy now.How Eric’s broader methodology led him to JapanThere are a handful of reasons why Japan is on Eric’s radar today – shareholder returns, fresh capital inflows, M&A activity, AI adoption, and inflation tailwinds – but they all support a broader framework that Eric loves when he searches for opportunities…“From ‘down a lot’ to ‘up a little.’”This framework takes advantage of asymmetry.When an asset has already suffered a massive drawdown, much of the bad news is usually priced in. Sometimes, washed-out prices reflect worse news than actually exists.Overall, expectations for these stocks are low, valuations are compressed, and investor sentiment is in the dumpster. This creates an environment wherein even modest improvements – a turnaround in earnings, new leadership, regulatory reform, or a mild uptick in investor perception – can spark outsized gains.Plus, additional downside is often limited because the market has already punished the stock – meanwhile, the upside can be enormous as the first signs of recovery attract new buyers.Bottom line: It’s in that gray zone between “exhausted pessimism” and “cautious optimism” where some of the market’s biggest winners are born.For decades, Eric used this approach in foreign markets to find some of his biggest winners. Here he is with one such example:In 1996, I recommended buying Banque Nationale de Paris, a major French bank that, after a series of mergers, is now known as BNP Paribas SA (BNP.PA)BNP has delivered a whopping 1,355% gain in the three decades since. Like Japan was when I recommended that $12.9 billion ETF, BNP was down a lot… but up a little.Of course, you don’t have to look abroad. Eric has found plenty of domestic 10-baggers too. In fact, the total count – domestic and foreign – clocks in at 41.But whether domestic or abroad, this “from ‘down a lot’ to ‘up a little’” framework has been the primary driver of Eric’s quadruple-digit returns.After decades of success, Eric has finally quantified exactly what goes into this framework – and on Wednesday, he’s revealing itEric has spent the past five years refining his “10X Breakthrough” system, which isolates the exact characteristics shared by his biggest winners before they soared.Two of those factors are the “down a lot” and “up a little” dynamics we’ve just discussed. And Japan is the latest real-world example of why this framework works.On Wednesday at 10 a.m. ET, Eric is unveiling this system publicly for the very first time in a special event. He’ll show exactly how he combines the system’s machine-powered analysis with his three decades of experience to pinpoint a select few stocks with 10X potential.He’s even planning to reveal his first five official recommendations – including their names, ticker symbols, and the exact dates when his system flagged them as “Buys.”If you’re overweight U.S. stocks… looking for more attractive valuations… or simply interested in 10X investment ideas, this is the event for you.You don’t have to abandon your “favorite child.” But as an investor, it’s wise to give the others some attention too.Click here to reserve your seat for Wednesday’s event.Has Bitcoin lost its mojo?As you can see below, since topping out on August 13 at an all-time high of roughly $123,000, Bitcoin has been making a series of “lower highs” and “lower lows.”It’s now trading at the same level as far back as May.But our crypto expert Luke Lango has a different take…It’s less about Bitcoin waning, and more about altcoins strengthening – exactly what crypto investors should want to see.From Luke’s issue of Ultimate Crypto at the end of last month:One phrase nicely sums up the crypto markets recently: quiet on the surface, loud under the hood. Recently, the tape flashed a familiar tell wherein Bitcoin dozed but altcoins danced. If you’ve been waiting for Altcoin Season, we think it has finally arrived. In recent weeks, Bitcoin has been shuffling between the low $110Ks and low $113Ks and finished flat-to-down, basically a yawn at the headline index level. That’s not bearish—it’s the rotation you want. When BTC goes sideways and the rest of the board prints green, that’s capital sliding down the risk curve. But what about this past week? Altcoins ran into some headwinds.Back to Luke:Zoom out. The best buying opportunities usually arrive wrapped in short-term fear. The market frets about regulation or macro data, dumps a few points, and then months later you realize those dips were gifts.This feels like one of those moments. Stablecoins are poised to transform global payments, the Fed is about to provide rocket fuel, and the timeline for both may have just accelerated.Bottom line: short-term noise is creating long-term opportunity.Luke goes on to write that we’re finally in the early innings of “Altcoin Season” – a period when many altcoins experience significant price increases and outperform Bitcoin.But this doesn’t mean Bitcoin is done climbing…Luke says that we have about another year before this cycle peaks. And during that time, he still expects the grandaddy crypto to climb to $150K–$200K.But he believes smaller, leading altcoins will likely beat out Bitcoin’s percentage gains.If you’re looking for which corners of the altcoin world to focus on for the biggest returns, Luke favors names levered to stablecoin adoption and tokenization rails.Here’s his bottom line for today:We remain bullish on Bitcoin and Ethereum as core holdings. But if you’ve been waiting for a window to “load up” on select alts, this is the kind of market you plan for.Jonathan Rose’s latest trade ideaFor newer Digest readers, Jonathan is the latest analyst to join our InvestorPlace family.He earned his stripes at the Chicago Board Options Exchange, going toe-to-toe with some of the world’s most aggressive and successful moneymakers. He’s made more than $10 million over the course of his career, profiting from bull markets, bear markets, and everything in between.Frankly, Jonathan has been crushing the market here in 2025. A few such examples in Advanced Notice from the last few months include:ETHA call spread: +275.33% (less than a month in the trade)U Call Spread: +227.03% (about a month and a half in the trade)MP Call Spread +700.00% (about half a month in the trade)And here in the Digest, we’ve put two of Jonathan’s recent trades on your radar: QXO and LYFT. Both are off to good starts…We profiled QXO in our 8/26 Digest, less than two weeks ago. It’s up about 4% since. And featured LYFT last Wednesday – it’s already up 3%Today, let’s quickly profile another: Karman (KRMN).It’s a small-cap defense contractor that builds missile and rocket components.After introducing Karman, Jonathan zeroes in on what really has him excited:KRMN’s market cap is still under $5 billion. That means we’re in before the herd. But there’s more.Since April, we’ve watched a massive divergence grow between the Nasdaq 100 and the Russell 2000. Big tech has been ripping while small caps have lagged. That kind of divergence is a coiled spring, and when it releases, it’s small caps that get the explosive move.Layer in the Federal Reserve hinting at lowering rates, and that’s rocket fuel.We’re running long today, but for a deeper dive into the opportunity, check out Jonathan’s free Masters in Trading Live episode “5 Reasons to Buy KRMN.”And remember, you can catch Jonathan and get his latest market ideas – totally free – every day the market is open at 11 a.m. ET in his Masters in Trading Live broadcasts. You can sign up right here.Circling to Karman, I’ll let Jonathan take us out:When I look at KRMN, I see a powerful policy tailwind. Deep government ties. And market that’s still sleeping on the story. That’s the exact recipe that’s given us our biggest winners. And I believe KRMN is next in line.Have a good evening,Jeff Remsburg

Ambarella’s Earnings Prove Its Edge AI Strategy Is a Winner

Unsubscribe
Alex’s “Next Magnificent Seven” stocks (From The Oxford Club)Ambarella’s Earnings Prove Its Edge AI Strategy Is a WinnerWritten by Jeffrey Neal Johnson on September 4, 2025 Key PointsThe company reported impressive revenue growth and achieved non-GAAP profitability, showcasing strong operational execution and a significant turnaround.Surging demand for the company’s advanced AI processors in the IoT market is validating its technology leadership and expanding its revenue base.A bullish full-year outlook and upgraded price targets from Wall Street analysts reinforce the company’s compelling narrative of future growth.Ambarella (NASDAQ: AMBA) recently caught the market’s attention with a stock price jump of over 16% in a single trading session. This impressive gain followed the release of Ambarella’s second-quarter financial results,which significantly outpaced expectations.The market’s response suggests a renewed and robust confidence in the company, signaling that its long-term strategy of designing high-performance, low-power artificial intelligence (AI) chips is translating into substantial business momentum.For investors, the move marks a potential turning point, where the promise of AI at the edge is becoming a financial reality.Retire Comfortably with These New Monthly Income ETFs? (Ad)Too many retirees lie awake at night, worried their savings won’t last. Traditional advice and tiny returns just aren’t enough anymore. But what if you could reach your Freedom Number—the monthly income that makes retirement secure—using far less money than you thought possible?

That’s exactly what Kelly G. discovered. She calls it “life-changing,” saying the income just keeps growing and that early retirement suddenly looks real. This strategy was once reserved for the ultra-wealthy, but it’s now available to everyday investors.Click here to watch the free presentation and learn how to calculate your personal Freedom Number—anHow AI Chips Drove a Financial TurnaroundThe catalyst behind Ambarella’s breakout was a second-quarter report that demonstrated clear operational strength and accelerating growth. The company’s financial performance provides a data-driven foundation for the market’s enthusiasm, showing improvements across the board.The headline figure was revenue, which reached $95.5 million for the quarter. This represented a 49.9% increase from the same period in the prior year and comfortably beat Ambarella’s analyst community’sestimates. Just as significant was the company’s progress on profitability.Ambarella reported a non-GAAP net profit of $6.4 million, or 15 cents per share. This marks a considerable turnaround from the non-GAAP net loss of $5.5 million reported in the same quarter last year, showcasing the company’s operational leverage.The company’s non-GAAP gross margin, 60.5%, added to the positive picture. This high margin is a critical metric, as it indicates that Ambarella has strong pricing power for its advanced products and is benefiting from a favorable product mix.This financial success is directly tied to the accelerating demand for its specialized AI processors. Management commentary pointed specifically to strong sales of its advanced 5-nanometer (5nm) System-on-a-Chip (SoC) products.These sophisticated chips are built on the company’s proprietary CVflow computer vision architecture. This architecture is designed to handle complex AI tasks efficiently and with very low power consumption, which is a critical requirement for devices operating at the edge, away from the cloud.The Internet of Things (IoT) segment was a standout performer. While Ambarella has long been a leader in the professional video security market, its growth is now expanding into new applications.The company highlighted a key design win for a robotic aerial drone, which is expected to begin production shipments by the end of the fiscal year. This win not only diversifies revenue but also validates the company’s technology in the demanding field of autonomous robotics.Finally, the company’s balance sheet remains strong, ending the quarter with $261.2 million in cash and marketable securities, providing ample capital to fund its research and development pipeline.Why Management and Analysts Are BullishLooking beyond the strong second-quarter results, Ambarella’s management provided an outlook that signals sustained confidence in its business trajectory. This forward-looking guidance was key in solidifying the stock’s upward momentum.The company raised its full-year fiscal 2026 revenue growth forecast to a new, higher range of 31% to 35%. An upward revision of this magnitude is a powerful indicator that the demand trends seen in the second quarter are not temporary but are expected to persist.This move demonstrates the leadership team’s conviction in its product roadmap and its ability to win in the market.Further reinforcing this positive outlook, Ambarella projected that revenue for its upcoming third quarter will land between $100 million and $108 million. Hitting this range’s midpoint would represent another significant year-over-year growth period.It would mark a new all-time quarterly revenue record for the company, underscoring the accelerating nature of its business.Wall Street has noticed this powerful combination of execution and optimism. The consensus rating among analysts covering the stock is a Moderate Buy. Following the strong earnings report, several influential firms reinforced their positive stance.Notably, analysts at Needham and Rosenblatt Securities raised their price targets on Ambarella’s stock to $100, suggesting a rewarding upside from its current levels.
