A key test looms for the AI trade this week. Here's how Mike Khouw is trading it (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The AI infrastructure buildout has been compared to the railroads in scale and scope. There are certainly similarities. Both involve enormous private capital investments relative to GDP in their era. Both have transformed how we live. In AI's case, the biggest transformation so far has been in how some of the technology companies creating it live. Consider Micron Technologies. Revenues have quintupled in the past two years and are expected to nearly double again next year. Adjusted net income is
Meta's 'powerful breakout' sets up a unique trading strategy, says Mike Khouw (opens the original)
Read excerpt

McDonald's announced this week that it is revising its U.S. value strategy after recording its slowest sales growth in more than a year. Management is preparing a near-term "bridge plan" built around temporary menu items, national digital promotions and personalized offers aimed at loyalty members. A true ret
