Morningstar's Brett Husslein calls Walmart's (WMT) earnings beat “modest” and notes that while its guidance is conservative, it has a pattern of increasing its expectations for the year as it progresses. He walks through his highlights from the report, including global ad revenue growth and overall margins. However, he has a $62 fair value estimate, a steep drop from current levels. Brett argues that the market expects a lot from Walmart going forward compared to its historical valuation.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Arun Sundaram digs into Walmart's (WMT) earnings and guidance, calling it a “solid quarter.” He says Walmart has some “pretty significant momentum” ahead of them even if guidance is lighter – he also notes that the company tends to guide conservatively and typically raise their outlook as the year progresses. He discusses how Walmart is trying to deal with inflation in core categories like groceries. Arun points out that smaller revenue channels, like Walmart+, are growing rapidly.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Sucharita Kodali calls Walmart's (WMT) earnings “incredible” for a business of this size and maturity. “They're not only growing share but they're executing really, really well.” She believes they're benefitting from both ends of the K-shaped economy, possibly taking business from malls or other merchants. She thinks its rivalry with Amazon (AMZN) will continue to be a big story as AMZN beat WMT on sales for the first time. Its ad business makes it one of the biggest media companies in the U.S., she argues.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

It looked like Shopify's stock was headed for a great day when it reported earnings, only for the stock to give up all its gains and then some when management started talking on the conference call.

In this KE Report Daily Editorial, we chat with Joel Elconin, co-host of the Pre-Market Prep Show and founder of the Stock Trader Network, to dissect a volatile day of trading that saw a mid-morning "waterfall decline" across the broad averages. Joel provides a deep dive into the shifting market internals, moving beyond the headlines of the recent jobs report to explain the structural changes currently driving price action. From the disruption of the software sector to the sudden resurgence of traditional value plays, we cover the critical trends every investor needs to watch. Discussion Highlights: The Catalyst for the Sell-Off: Joel identifies the existing home sales data, which came in significantly lower than expected, as the primary trigger for the mid-morning market reversal. The AI Software vs. Hardware Divide: A look at why software giants like Oracle (ORCL) and Shopify (SHOP) are facing intense pressure, while hardware and chip makers like Micron (MU) and Seagate (STX) continue to find support. The Great Rotation into Value: Analysis of the flight to safety as investors move capital into "tried and true" consumer staples such as Coca-Cola (KO), Walmart (WMT), and Costco (COST). Real Estate and Paper Wealth: A sobering look at the housing market, specifically the decline in Toronto's median sales prices to pre-pandemic levels and the resulting evaporation of "paper wealth." Technical Outlook for the Bottom: Joel shares his strategy for identifying a market floor, emphasizing the need for consolidation and a clear catalyst before "taking a poke" at new positions.   Click here to visit Joel's PreMarket Prep website - https://www.premarketprep.com/   Click here to visit the Stock Trader Network - https://www.stocktradernetwork.com/   Stocks Mentioned (Symbols): ORCL, SHOP, MU, STX, KO, MCD, WMT, CP, COST, BRK.B, T, VZ, SCHW, LPLA, F, GM, BTC.   ----------------------- For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:  The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/  Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/   Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security or investment product.

After a down week, the Dow set a new all-time high of 50,000!  We review the market areas working best right now, some will surprise you!  We also review what highly respected Wall Street Advisor Nancy Tengler was buying on the pullbacks last week and review her "Top 6 for 26", her biggest stock convictions for the year.  

Markets sold off sharply Tuesday, then bounced into the close—continuing a familiar pattern: when price tests the 50-day moving average (50-DMA), dip buyers step in. That's been working, but it's also how traders get trapped when the "buy-the-dip" playbook finally fails—so risk management matters. This morning, futures are pointing higher as the market tries to reclaim the 20-day moving average (20-DMA). Tuesday's weakness was concentrated in mega-cap tech (NVDA, MSFT, GOOGL), and early action suggests a bounce attempt. Meanwhile, the "heat map" continues to highlight rotation: value and defensives (WMT, COST, PG) plus energy have been outperforming while growth digests valuations. That rotation can persist, but value is getting overbought/overextended, raising the odds of a rotation back toward growth as we move through earnings season. Seasonally, February can be volatile, and we're watching the VIX closely as volatility's trendline remains elevated. Bottom line: expect choppy, sloppy trading—keep allocations disciplined, avoid chasing stretched moves, and stay focused on process over predictions.

There are many headwinds for short term interest rates to drop in 2026 It is no secret that the President wants our interest rates to drop dramatically to improve the economy, which as a sidenote is really not that bad. However, even though he gets to appoint a new Federal Reserve Chairman, that doesn't guarantee lower short-term interest rates. The Federal Reserve Chairman's term ends May 15th, which means a new chairman will be appointed by the President. But the Chairman running the Federal Reserve, no matter who they are, does not make a sole decision on interest rates.  It is done as a vote from all members, and it takes a majority of the 7 members to move interest rates up or down. Other factors include Mr. Powell can stay until January 2028, when his term as governor expires. This means a new governor who is in favor of reduce interest rates cannot be appointed until January 2028. There will also be changes to other members come January 31st when there are term expirations. This will be another opportunity to appoint members that are aggressive on reducing interest rates. Also, sometime this month, the Supreme Court will rule on removing or keeping Governor Lisa Cook over legal issues. If she is removed, that's another opportunity to bring in someone aggressive on lowering rates. At the January meeting, there will be a rotation for the voting Regional Bank Presidents, which will include New York, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Dallas and Minneapolis. Some of these new voting bank presidents have explained their concerns when it comes to lowering rates, especially with the inflation target of 2% still not achieved. Speaking of that 2% inflation target, that was set back in 2012, and it's been above 2% since March 2021. All this to say, the direction of interest rates is uncertain. If we were to see unemployment rise and more signs of slowing in the economy, we probably would see more interest rate cuts. However, if things stay status quo, I still stand behind the fact the most we will see is probably two interest rate cuts in 2026.   The tariffs seem to be working with the October trade deficit at the lowest level since 2009 The October trade deficit was only $29.4 billion, which is far better than the expected deficit of $58.4 billion. Not only was it almost half the expected amount; but it was also the lowest deficit going back 16 years to 2009. The low trade deficit was due to imports falling to $331.4 billion, but exports also increased to $302 billion. Exports benefited from the high price of gold, silver and other metals as that increased exports by $10 billion during October. The big benefit on the reduction of imports came from pharmaceuticals dropping sharply probably because in late September the administration threatened 100% tariffs on overseas pharmaceuticals. The drug makers were apparently scrambling on what to do and trying to minimize the impact going forward. The Supreme Court will not make the decision on whether the tariffs are legal or not just because they are working; they will determine if the use of the International Emergency Economic Powers act to impose tariffs is legal or not. My hope is that they do agree with it, and if not, hopefully the administration can come up with some other way of keeping the tariffs in tack as they seem to be working very well.   Is the 10% credit card interest cap a good idea? At first glance, the average person is going to say yes that is great because current credit card rates around 23 to 24% are ridiculous. However, when you dig deeper into credit cards and how they work, people have to realize the risks for defaults and late payments are rather high. Banks that issue credit cards are in business to make a profit for their shareholders and if there's no profit to be earned, then there's no point in a business offering that service. The current default rate on credit cards is about 3%, which means banks have to write off the entire balance of whatever that person owed. The higher default rates are seen in ZIP Codes with lower incomes and also for younger borrows who got in over their head. If the 10% cap on credit cards does go through, it will hurt people with lower incomes and those that have lower credit scores because banks would no longer be able to be profitable on those accounts, and they would stop offering credit to them. It would also affect many across-the-board as you could see a reduction if not elimination of points and cash rewards on credit cards, which would be disappointing for many. In my opinion, it is better to have the higher interest rate on credit cards like we have today, as it broadens the pool of people that can access this tool. Unfortunately, people need to use some self-discipline to not get in over their head and make sure they can pay their payments and hopefully not carry a balance on the card. If they can do that, they pay no interest and also can benefit from cash-back and other reward programs.   Financial Planning: Who Benefits from the New Auto Loan Interest Deduction? The new auto loan interest deduction created by the July 2025 “One Big Beautiful Bill” allows taxpayers to deduct up to $10,000 per year of interest paid on a qualified auto loan during tax years 2025 through 2028.  This is an above-the-line deduction, meaning it is available even if the standard deduction is taken. To qualify, the loan must be an auto loan for a new vehicle that had final assembly in the United States purchased in 2025 through 2028. Leases, personal loans, and cars purchased before 2025 do not qualify. The deduction is subject to income phase-outs, beginning at $100,000 for single filers and $200,000 for married couples, and fully phasing out at $150,000 for single filers and $250,000 for married couples.  Most states, including California, do not conform to this federal deduction, meaning it won't reduce state income tax. However California lawmakers have proposed a separate state deduction (AB 490), but it has not become law.  For people who receive the deduction, the actual tax savings will likely range from a hundred to a thousand dollars because most auto loans don't have anywhere near $10,000 of annual interest and only taxpayers in the 10%, 12%, and 22% bracket will qualify.   Companies Discussed: Constellation Brands, Inc. (STZ), Walmart Inc. (WMT), Expedia Group, Inc. (EXPE) & The Boeing Company (BA)

Braden and Simon sit down with Jan van Eck, CEO of VanEck, for a wide-ranging conversation on where capital should be going over the next decade. Jan explains why he sees gold re-emerging as a global reserve asset, how central bank and emerging-market demand could fuel a long bull market, and why a 20% drawdown wouldn’t change his thesis. They dig into the AI build-out and the semiconductor cycle through SMH and Nvidia’s eye-popping margins, the risks and opportunities around OpenAI and infrastructure constraints, and how private credit stress may show up first in publicly traded BDCs. Jan also makes the long-term case for India as a distinct structural growth story within emerging markets, and the trio wrap up by talking about how AI and structured data will change investment research.

If you're asking someone else about the market - it's not the market that's wrong - it's your portfolio. It's not suited for your risk tolerance or you have the wrong tools. Something isn't right so evaluate that before asking someone about the market because even the most qualified market participant can't 100% determine the direction of the market. This may be the start of a huge downturn or the "discount" on stocks you've been waiting for since April. You just don't know - but charts tell a MUCH clearer story. LEARN THEM!

Tom Kocmi, Researcher at Cohere, and Alon Lavie, Distinguished Career Professor at Carnegie Mellon University, join Florian and Slator language AI Research Analyst, Maria Stasimioti, on SlatorPod to talk about the state-of-the-art in AI translation and what the latest WMT25 results reveal about progress and remaining challenges.Tom outlines how the WMT conference has become a crucial annual benchmark for assessing AI translation quality and ensuring systems are tested on fresh, demanding datasets. He notes that systems now face literary text, social-media language, ASR-noisy speech transcripts, and data selected through a difficulty-sampling algorithm. He stresses that these harder inputs expose far more system weaknesses than in previous years.He adds that human translators also struggle as they face fatigue, time pressure, and constraints such as not being allowed to post-edit. He emphasizes that human parity claims are unreliable and highlights the need for improved human evaluation design.Alon underscores that harder test data also challenges evaluators. He explains that segment-level scoring is now more difficult, and even human evaluators miss different subsets of errors. He highlights that automated metrics built on earlier-era training data underperformed, particularly COMET, because they absorbed their own biases.He reports that the strongest performers in the evaluation task were reasoning-capable large language models (LLMs), either lightly prompted or submitted with elaborate evaluation-specific prompting. He notes that while these LLM-as-judge setups outperformed traditional neural metrics overall, their segment-level performance varied.Tom points out that the translation task also revealed notable progress from smaller academic models around 9B parameters, some ranking near trillion-parameter frontier models. He sees this as a sign that competitive research is still widely accessible.The duo concludes that they must carefully choose evaluation methods, avoid assessing models with the same metric used during training, and adopt LLM-based judging for more reliable assessments.
