Last week started off ugly with the S&P 500 losing 3% on Monday and the Dow Jones falling by over a thousand points. But, by the time the market closed on Friday, the S&P 500 fought its way back and finished relatively flat for the week. One data point that helped stocks in their recovery was jobless claims which fell week-over-week and eased some of those recession concerns.
For the week ahead, with the market expecting an interest rate cut in September, the only question that remains is the size of the cut. As of this taping, it’s split 50/50 on whether it’s a 25-basis point cut or a half of percent. To help answer this question let’s watch the inflation data this week, as well as retail sales and jobless claims to see how it shifts the odds.

In 2010, Bitcoin was a relatively obscure digital currency, known mainly within niche circles of cryptography and technology enthusiasts.
Its value was minimal, far from being considered a legitimate form of currency.
On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz, a Florida-based programmer, made history.
He offered to pay 10,000 Bitcoins for two large pizzas on a Bitcoin forum. Another forum member accepted the offer, ordering two pizzas from Papa John’s.
This marked one of the first real-world Bitcoin transactions, now celebrated as “Bitcoin Pizza Day.”
At the time, 10,000 Bitcoins were worth roughly $41.
If Hanyecz had held onto his 10,000 Bitcoins, they would have been worth over $600 million by now.
The exponential rise in Bitcoin’s value since then has transformed this simple transaction into a legendary tale of missed opportunity and foresight, celebrated annually as a milestone in the journey of cryptocurrency.

The Dutch East India Company (VOC) in Amsterdam was established in the early 1600s to capitalize on opportunities in maritime exploration and trade.
To raise capital, the VOC issued paper shares to the public, allowing ordinary citizens to invest in the company’s ventures.
This was the first recorded instance of a company offering shares to the public, effectively creating the world’s first initial public offering (IPO).
The Amsterdam Stock Exchange was established to facilitate the buying and selling of these shares, providing liquidity, price discovery, and risk distribution.
The establishment of the Amsterdam Stock Exchange and VOC shares fueled economic growth, introduced the concept of publicly traded companies, and democratized investment, setting the stage for modern financial markets.

Recent data indicates that an interest rate cut may be on the horizon. By inserting the data into a mathematical equation, you can easily find this out. “A” represents a cooling in economic growth. “B” represents a cooling in labor market strength. And “C” represents well behaved inflation readings. If you add these three together the market believes it equals an interest rate cut in September. In fact, as of this taping, the market gives it practically a one hundred percent probability of occurring.
For the week ahead, if the market now believes the interest rate cutting cycle is near then let’s see what performance is moving forward. Meaning, do we get a broadening out in it? Will value stocks and small cap stocks finally catch a meaningful bid?

Keith Gill, also known as “Roaring Kitty,” gained widespread attention during the GameStop stock surge of January 2021. A former financial analyst, Gill used his social media presence, including YouTube and Reddit, to share his investment insights.
He argued that GameStop was undervalued, and he attracted a large following of retail investors who helped drive the stock’s price up significantly.
By April of 2021, Gill exercised his call options position to cash in.
Back from his three-year absence, he sparked meme-stock rallies again recently. He is now being investigated by the Massachusetts Secretary of State for potentially illegal trading activities.
So, while his future remains unknown, he has certainly sent the market into a frenzy at times.

Dividend Stocks, what are they and how can you start investing in them today? 👇

Dividend Stocks are companies that pay shareholders a portion of their profits monthly, quarterly, or annually.
A company’s board of directors first discusses how much they want to pay out to their shareholders. This can be in the form of cash, stock shares, or reinvestment programs.
Investing in dividend stocks is just like investing in any other stock. You can buy them through your brokerage account, or in your 401(k) or IRA. There are dividend stocks in many different industries. Tech, oil, gas, and healthcare are just a few.
Keep in mind if you are buying dividend paying stocks for regular income, you should identify companies that pay their dividends in cash and not stock shares.
