“There will be no poverty in the future.”

That's what Elon Musk posted last December and reiterated in his most recent interview with The Economist where he said that money won’t even matter in ten years.

Think about that…

No poverty. No need to save. No need to work.

Everyone just gets money for doing nothing thanks to AI and robotics.

When will Elon’s utopia become a reality?

Who knows. But you don’t have to wait.

America's solution to universal basic income already exists.

It issues 42 payouts a year, roughly once a week.

And it is not funded by U.S. tax dollars.

It’s funded by partnerships that control America's most critical infrastructure.

That's why I call it the Patriot Income Plan, or P.I.P. for short.

Enrolling is easy. All you need is a photo ID, bank account, social security number, and permanent address. That's it.

Once you do, you can expect to receive 10% a year on your money.

So yes, you can wait for Elon. Or you can enroll in P.I.P. and start collecting right away.

The next payout drops in days.

P.S. Since 2020, the average partnership in P.I.P. has produced 20% avg. annual gains. That’s in addition to the 10% yield. One investor already collects $4,800 a month. Another hasn't worked in years. Show me something better. I'll wait. [Enroll in P.I.P. →]

The Ugliest Stocks in the Market Just Got a Very Expensive Vote of Confidence

Submitted by Bridget Bennett. Date Posted: 7/20/2026.

The broader market has been in a mood lately, and it hasn't been subtle. Semiconductors have led a sharp rotation lower.

Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) has shed a third of its value in two weeks, and even the Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ: SPCX) IPO story that had everyone dreaming about space-based data centers has cooled since shares priced above their offering range. Sentiment has swung hard against anything pre-revenue and speculative, and the sell-off has been broad enough to pull even strong long-term narratives into the downdraft.

The Wall Street Journal is already raising the alarm about a potential market crash, and Weiss Ratings research points to the first half of 2026 as a particularly rough stretch for certain holdings.

Some of America's most popular stocks could take serious damage as a radical market shift plays out. Analysts at Weiss Ratings have identified five names you may want to remove from your portfolio before this unfolds.

If any of these are in your portfolio, now is the time to review your positions.

That's exactly the environment in which institutional options traders start making their move.

Andrew Keene, founder of AlphaShark.com and a 25-year veteran of the Chicago Board Options Exchange trading floor, tracks large institutional bets in the options market. His approach is to watch for oversized call purchases in specific stocks and expirations, then follow the money.

Keene says he rarely looks at what a company does before entering a trade. What matters is size, timing and conviction, along with technical signals such as relative strength and average daily trading range.

Three names have caught his attention this week. All are down sharply from their highs and showing unusually large institutional call buying. Keene's own positions run through October, December and January, giving each trade months to play out rather than days.

Investors who would rather skip the options market entirely can still use the same signals, whether that means buying shares outright, setting a stop-loss near recent lows or simply watching for a shift in sentiment before stepping in.

Nuclear Newcomer Draws an October Bet

X-Energy (NASDAQ: XE) priced its IPO in April and jumped as high as $37 in its first days of trading. The stock has since fallen, cutting its value by nearly two-thirds. The nuclear fuel and small modular reactor company, backed by Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN), remains pre-revenue. However, an institutional trader recently bought October 35-strike calls—a bet placed weeks before the stock's slide to a 52-week low near $13.20.

Keene added to the position himself as the option's price fell toward $25 per contract, well below the roughly $170 the institution originally paid. The stock's relative strength index has dropped below 30, a level traders watch for oversold conditions, and its average daily move of roughly $1.70 gives the options room to react quickly. What could change the picture? Any sign that nuclear policy support or data center demand is firming up again after a rough stretch for the sector.

Oklo Attracts the Biggest Bet on the List

Oklo Inc. (NYSE: OKLO) has fallen from a high near $194 to the low $40s, alongside a broader pullback across small modular reactor and AI data center names.

The largest institutional position Keene is tracking is here: roughly 50,000 December 90-strike calls, representing tens of millions of dollars in notional exposure. Keene entered his own position after the stock dropped roughly 8% in a single session, matching its average daily range almost exactly.

He plans to exit before Oklo's next earnings report and typically closes positions once they are within 60 days of expiration, since time decay accelerates quickly during that window.

What to watch: how the stock behaves around its next earnings date, an event Keene considers too unpredictable to hold through.

IonQ Leads a Quantum Rebound Bet

IonQ, Inc. (NYSE: IONQ) has pulled back from a high of $86 to the mid-$30s, part of a broader reset across quantum computing stocks after last year's rally.

A trader recently bought November 60-strike calls in a roughly $1.5 million bet, and Keene has since added to a position of his own, along with January calls further out. IonQ's relative strength index sits at 26, deep in oversold territory, with average daily swings near $4.

Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI) and D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS) round out the small group of quantum names Keene watches most closely, though he notes that IonQ tends to move the most on a dollar basis. Keene has traded the name profitably before and says he still believes in the long-term case for quantum computing, separate from this short-term trade.

Weighing the Risk and the Reward

None of the three companies is profitable yet, and all three could keep falling if sentiment toward pre-revenue growth stories remains sour or interest rates move higher. Keene is candid that not every trade works out, and institutional buying does not guarantee a stock's direction. Valuations across this corner of the market have already come down hard once this year, and a further leg lower is possible.

The upside case rests on how these bets are structured rather than on a full recovery. Keene isn't looking for these stocks to reclaim their old highs. A modest bounce over a few sessions, in line with each stock's typical daily range, could be enough to move the options meaningfully, given how far out the expirations sit.

Stay focused on the setup, not the headlines. That's what tends to move options pricing more than any single day's news.

Moog Is More Than a Missile Maker, and Wall Street Is Noticing

Submitted by Sam Quirke. Date Posted: 7/22/2026.

With all the noise surrounding semiconductor and AI companies, defense stocks have been one of the market's quieter success stories this year, and few have run harder than Moog Inc. (NYSE: MOG.A). Shares of the precision motion and control specialist are up more than 60% year to date. The good news for investors just discovering the stock is that there could still be plenty of room to run.

Earlier this week, one of Wall Street's biggest banks, JPMorgan, initiated coverage on Moog with an Overweight rating and a fresh $520 price target. From where the stock is currently trading, that street-high target implies more than 30% upside.

JPMorgan is not alone in leaning bullish. Moog currently carries a Buy consensus rating, and other recent analyst moves have also been positive, including Truist’s Strong Buy rating and TD Cowen’s $450 price target. JPMorgan’s $520 target is still the highest of the group, but the broader takeaway is simple: Wall Street is increasingly buying into Moog’s turnaround story.

For a stock that has been setting record high after record high in recent weeks, that's a bold call, and investors should be sitting up and taking notice.

Why JPMorgan Thinks Moog’s Growth Story Is Still Early

JPMorgan analyst Tomohiko Sano's bullish thesis rests on two key ideas. The first is that Moog is only midway through a multiyear transformation driven largely by changes in its manufacturing operations. That's the operational piece. The more interesting part is the breadth of the company's exposure.

In his view, Moog isn't the pure defense play that many on Wall Street might assume it is. Sano highlighted its diversified exposure across missile replacement, commercial aerospace, industrial automation and the AI-driven infrastructure buildout—an unusually wide set of end markets for a company of its size. Each of those markets is currently in an upcycle, and few businesses sit at the intersection of all four.

That diversification is easiest to see in the programs themselves. On the defense side, Moog supplies content across missile systems, including PAC-3, THAAD and Tomahawk, all of which are seeing sustained replacement demand as global stockpiles are drawn down faster than they can be replenished.

Beyond missiles, the company also supports long-term military projects such as the F-35 fighter and the MV-75 transport aircraft. It also provides flight control equipment used in commercial aircraft production. Together, these businesses help explain why JPMorgan called Moog a “resilient compounder” that is on track to continue growing revenue at current rates through 2028.

Record Backlog and Rising Guidance Support the Bull Case

The financials support the theory. In its most recent quarterly report, Moog reported one of its highest revenue totals ever, impressive margin growth and increased forward guidance from management. Interestingly, all of Moog's business units contributed to the growth, backing up JPMorgan’s point that its diversification is an asset.

The company’s backlog told its own story, with Moog's 12-month backlog climbing to record levels and showing just how strong underlying demand is right now. Given that Moog is set to release its next quarterly report at the end of July, investors will be watching closely for signs that this demand upswing is maintaining its trajectory and translating into even better results.

Moog’s Premium Valuation Leaves Little Room for Error

Here's where the bulls need to be honest with themselves. Moog currently trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of about 45, up from 26 last summer and 21 the year before. Based on that metric alone, shares of Moog are currently at their most expensive level in more than five years.

However, the bullish response is that Moog has simply narrowed its historical discount to missile-system peers like Curtiss-Wright (NYSE: CW) and HEICO Corp. (NYSE: HEI), both of which currently trade at even higher multiples.

That's fair as far as it goes, but those peers are also sitting near their own record valuations, so anchoring to them isn’t an ideal comparison. The more honest framing is that Moog is being priced as though its ongoing transformation is already complete.

The thing is, though, that’s not all that unusual for a company currently in the middle of a generational upswing like Moog. As with many tech stocks, when investors believe they’re getting in on what could one day be considered the ground floor, they’re happy to pay a premium. Based on JPMorgan’s update, that could well be what we’re looking at here.

The Catalysts That Could Keep Moog’s Momentum Intact

As we head into the rest of the summer, the weight of analyst opinion sits firmly on the bullish side, and JPMorgan's latest update bodes well for the coming months—as long as the company delivers another strong report next week.

If it can do that, then there’s every reason to think JPMorgan’s $520 price target could soon come into view. Geopolitical tensions continue to drive demand, commercial aerospace production is solid, and the data center buildout is creating fresh industrial demand that Moog's cooling and automation products are well positioned to serve. All of these are long-cycle stories, and that's ultimately what makes Moog such an attractive option right now.
