I had a great thought last night I was going to start a YouTube page and talk about investing. Unfortunately I just feel like AI has taken that over and everyone does that. So I changed my idea. I'm going to start a Onlyfans page. The thought is I would be butt ass naked except for a Thong. I would make Cookies and talk about ETF'S. My page would be "How Do You Like My Cookie's" Who would Subscribe? I have amazing ETF knowledge @karyungtom and @nettspend I already signed you guys up for VIP package 😂 😂 😆 😂 Thanks
I see many beginners posting that they’re new to investing and don’t know where to start. 🤔 As someone who was in a similar situation just a few months ago and learned, here are the 4 ETF types (& ETFs) that are popular among long term investors 😃 : 1) S&P 500: US: $VOO / $SPY / $SPLG Canadian: $VFV / $ZSP / $TPU 2) GROWTH / TECH: US: $QQQ / $VUG / $VGT / $SCHG Canadian: $QQC / $HXQ / $TEC / $ZUQ 3) DIVIDENDS: US: $SCHD / $VYM / $DGRO Canadian: $VDY / $XEI 4) ALL IN ONE / BASKET / Global Exposure: US: $VT / $AVGE Canadian: $ZEQT / $XEQT / $TGRO / $VEQT / $ZGQ I noticed many people following this type of a basic / uncomplicated portfolio and are doing really well for themselves 🔥 For % allocation, you can divide evenly among the ETF categories or allocate a higher % based on your preferences. Just DCA regularly and you should be good. 😎 Some people even just put it all into an all in one etf like $XEQT. This is also a good approach - it is much simpler and it works. Ultimately, it comes to whatever you prefer 🙂 Oh and yea, there are overlaps, but I don’t think there is anything wrong in that though - it would just count as doubling down on good things. 💯 I’m sharing with you all what helped me, but don’t forget to do your own research too! 🙏🏼

IBM stock was heading for its largest same-day plunge in nearly 40 years on Tuesday after the company's preliminary second-quarter adjusted earnings and revenue missed analysts' targets. In a letter to shareholders, CEO Arvind Krishna explained that the shortfall was largely driven by the company's infrastructure business. IBM had anticipated revenue to decline by a low-single digit percentage for the year, starting in the second quarter. "What played out was worse than our expectations," Krishna wrote. Shares of the tech giant were down 23% at $223.70 in premarket trading, putting them on pace for their largest single-day drop since October 1987. S&P 500 futures rose 0.5%. Krishna noted that customers abruptly shifted their quarterly budgets toward servers, storage, and memory products at the end of June to beat projected price increases for "supply-constrained infrastructure." Although IBM expected some movement, "we did not anticipate the magnitude of the capex repriorization," Krishna wrote. *source Barcharts
Today America’s largest banks reported Q2 2026 earnings on the same morning alongside the June CPI print which showed a decline for the first time in six years and the Fed Chair’s inaugural Congressional testimony. Three market-moving events before the opening bell. $JPM: - Highest quarterly profit in company history. - EPS $6.14 vs $5.85 expected. - Revenue $58.02B vs $50.19B expected. - Equities trading $6.03B, up 86% year over year. - Beat the highest analyst estimate on Wall Street. $GS: - Equities trading $7.42B, an all-time record for any bank. - Revenue growth expected at 48% year over year - Third consecutive quarter Goldman’s equities unit set a new all-time high. $WFC: - EPS $2.00 vs $1.72 expected. - Revenue $22.62B vs $21.84B. - The post-asset-cap growth story is delivering. $BAC: - Net income up 27% year over year to $9.1B. - EPS $1.21 vs $1.13 expected. - Revenue $31.6B vs $30.7B expected, up 15% from a year ago. - Net interest income $16B, up 9%. - Every business segment reported double digit net income growth. CEO Brian Moynihan called it “one of our strongest quarters to date.” The context: Global deal volume hit $2.8 trillion in H1 2026, the most since 2021. Global investment banking revenue rose 24% to $61.4 billion in the same period. The SpaceX $86 billion IPO in June alone handed meaningful fee income to nearly every bank on this list. 🙄🙄 The trading revenues are the headline story. Every volatility event including AI stocks, the Hormuz crisis, the Iran peace deal, SKHY listing, Micron’s blowout quarter created a trading opportunity which Goldman and JPMorgan captured at record levels. Remember the June rotation post? XLF up 6.51% while XLK fell. Today’s numbers explain exactly why financials were absorbing the flows while tech sold off. The banks were printing 😄 Educational, not financial advice
$WFC — Best bank reaction so far. I want a VWAP hold after CPI before entering. $JPM — Major earnings beat, but the stock is not responding strongly. A VWAP failure despite good results would be bearish. $QQQ / $NVDA — Tech is trying to rebound, but CPI decides whether the move holds. Confirmation only. $MU / $SMH — Semiconductor pressure remains significant, with bearish options flow. Reclaim-only for longs; failed-bounce setup otherwise. Energy — Oil continues higher on Iran and Strait of Hormuz risk. Strongest macro momentum, but highly headline-sensitive. Main idea: this is a three-catalyst session—bank earnings, CPI and oil-driven geopolitical risk. Strong earnings are receiving muted reactions, semiconductor breadth remains damaged, and the inflation report can override every premarket setup. Let the first post-CPI range and VWAP determine direction.

TSLA has a 360 P/E ratio, this would mean it takes 360 years to double your money if the company stopped growing it's business right now! This is a premium on top of the share price that investors are willing to pay to get a piece of Elon's company. On the other hand Bank of America sits at 15 P/E ratio and would take 15 years to double. Lower P/E are usually safer bets because they don't rely on future promises. Rule of thumb: A good P/E ratio is one that is lower than its historical average and peers without a decline in business quality. The P/E ratio measures valuation, not quality. A great company can have a high P/E, while a struggling company can have a low P/E.
U.S. equities closed lower as renewed U.S.-Iran tensions pushed oil prices and Treasury yields higher. Energy, utilities, and consumer staples outperformed, while technology lagged amid continued weakness in semiconductor stocks.
