Wall Street’s 60/40 formula was born in 1952 — the same year as the first credit card. A lot has changed since.
That’s why we created a new approach — The H.E.A.T. Formula — to empower investors to spot opportunities, think independently, make smarter (often contrarian) moves, and build real wealth.

🔥 Here’s What’s Happening Now
Today is Jobs so just about anything can happen. Rates have pulled back….
The 10 year is below 4.2% and it seems the market is currently pricing in 60bps of cuts this year.
Crytpo looks to have found a bottom here, Bitcoin bounced off support and is trying to head higher….
Ethereum continues to be in a basing pattern, finding support at the 20 day EMA…
A couple of news items caught my eye yesterday that I need to look more into, possibly next week if I find anything interesting….
Not sure what to make of that, readers know I am a big believer that you should have crytpo and precious metals. Looks like Tether agrees, maybe they should just buy BEGS…
GRFT is slated to launch 10/8, looks like the big tech firms are vying to be in the portfolio….
We had Gary Kaltbaum on the podcast yesterday. Gary uses a combination of William O’Neil’s methods and Stan Weinstein. He’s looking for the strongest stocks in the strongest areas. Unlike a lot of O’Neil followers who end up buying crap, Gary focuses on more of the well known names. He is also bullish……
📈Stifel Tech Check: Must-Owns vs. Must-Sells
Stifel recently did a deep dive on tech stocks and catalysts. In honor of me calling AVGO a must own on Schwab Network yesterday I decided to take a slightly deeper dive on some of the names….
Must-Owns (Top conviction; 12–24 mo)
NVDA (9/10)
Edge: Blackwell ramp, networking flywheel (NVLink, Spectrum X, XDR IB), mid-70% GM reiterated; China H20 upside optional.
Asymmetry: Agentic AI/reasoning keeps compute intensity rising through ’26.
Near catalysts (30–90d): Blackwell shipment color; networking run-rate updates; any H20 license clarity.
CDNS (9/10)
Edge: “AI-first” EDA with system-level simulation; takes a bigger slice of semi R&D as custom silicon booms.
Asymmetry: Every new AI/ASIC tape-out passes through Cadence.
Catalysts: Product cycles; China demand that’s “not in numbers.”
NOW (8.5/10)
Edge: Multi-agent orchestration across enterprise workflows; Fed momentum improving; 30% AI ASP uplift.
Asymmetry: Software spend re-rotation from semis; “budget flush” seasonality.
Catalysts: Federal wins; user/analyst events; pipeline conversion.
SNOW (8.5/10)
Edge: Re-acceleration (32% product rev), 125% NRR; AI modules driving workload migration.
Asymmetry: Guide looks conservative; multiple avenues to upside in 2H.
Catalysts: New product attach (Snowpark, Dynamic Tables); early AI project budget releases.
MDB (8/10)
Edge: Atlas growth re-accelerating; beat/raise with margin upside; Postgres fears faded (for now).
Asymmetry: Data layer benefits as AI projects move from PoC → prod.
Catalysts: Atlas consumption; new workload adds.
ESTC (8/10)
Edge: Beats/raises; cloud + self-managed accel; security displacements rising; conservative guide.
Asymmetry: Under-owned + GenAI search/log/security convergence.
Catalysts: Price realization; federal tailwind follow-through.
SITM (8/10)
Edge: High-end timing is “must-have” for DC/AI; 80% single-sourced design wins; cash-rich M&A option.
Asymmetry: Wi-Fi7/modem cycles + bundling (clocks/oscillators).
Catalysts: Design-win disclosures; Apple modem tailwinds CY25–26.
JBL (8/10)
Edge: $8.5B AI revs this year; second hyperscaler ramp; racks + liquid cooling + optics.
Asymmetry: Moving from EMS to systems partner; 40k racks/yr capacity.
Catalysts: Hyperscaler orders; networking/transceiver synergies.
PSTG (7.5/10)
Edge: Platform adoption improving; META collaboration; beat/raise with clearer 2H.
Asymmetry: Storage share gains as AI clusters proliferate.
Catalysts: Large deal cadence; margin durability.
AMBA (7.5/10)
Edge: Edge-AI SoCs (5nm), broadening use-cases; FY26 guide stepped up again; not inventory pull-ins.
Asymmetry: Strategic angle (press reports of potential sale) + secular edge AI growth.
Catalysts: Customer wins; any corporate actions.
Honorable mentions (7–7.5/10):
ADSK (cleanup underway; FY29 OM targets attractive), TENB (platform consolidation; washed-out valuation + M&A chatter), NET (GTMs improving; ZTNA share gains; “AI picks/shovels” angle), SMTC (China CSP bookings, LPO/800G/1.6T pipeline), MXL (turnaround momentum; Wi-Fi7 & pricing uplift).
Must-Sells / Avoids (or Underweights for now)
MRVL (5.5/10) – Avoid near-term, watch into 4Q setup
Why: Guide implies DC digestion; bears pressing on custom ASIC share until proof otherwise.
Counter: If it really is “one quarter” of digestion, the 4Q sling-shot is real. Keep on radar, not in the penalty box forever.
Towers: SBAC / AMT / CCI (5–6/10) – Underweight
Why: Stock pressure on spectrum/transaction headlines (e.g., T–SATS) and AI power shift favoring on-prem DC buildouts + fiber/terrestrial backbones more than macro tower demand near-term.
Stance: Not “broken,” but setup isn’t favorable vs. AI infra alternatives.
EFX / PAYC (5–6/10) – Cautious
Why: Pro services lag; macro sensitivity. Prefer workflow platforms (NOW) or data platforms (SNOW/MDB/ESTC) with clearer AI monetization.
HUBS (Hold, 6/10) – Not a sell, but don’t press
Why: VARs flag SEO disruption; mgmt rolling out agentic tools. Watch INBOUND for a narrative turn.
Trade: Wait for the event/guide; rerate possible, but not yet must-own.
One-liners
Semis/AI HW: NVDA still the hub; keep powder for MRVL post-digestion proof; SITM is the stealth winner; CDNS is the toll-booth.
AI infra software: SNOW/MDB/ESTC beats suggest software is re-warming—own the data layer.
Workflow OS: NOW is the multi-agent orchestration leader; this is where software alpha lives.
Edge/EMS: JBL is becoming an AI systems manufacturer (racks, cooling, optics)—under-owned leverage to hyperscalers.
Storage: PSTG regains credibility; DELL storage soft, NTAP steady—tilt to the cleaner grower.

📈 Stock Corner
In honor of Gary today’s stock is JP Morgan (JPM)…….
Not my normal thematic play but can’t ignore the strength. Certainly a stock you could sell puts on, or put spreads as Larry Benedict recommends. I hate covered calls, but this is a name you could do that on also.
📬 In Case You Missed It
.@TuttleCapital calls $AVGO a 'must own' AI chip stock. However, he's cautious about valuation, saying Broadcom needs a 'cure for cancer' to justify higher stock prices. @TomWhite_S discusses example options trades for AVGO.
