CLOSING BELL
Apple Falls Announcing Nothing New

The market climbed for the second session in a row, though the only major news this weekend covered national guard action in LA, and twitter back and forths that were decidedly not stock market related.

The S&P 500 closed over 6k again, on its way toward retaking highs set in February, if Civil War II doesn’t break out. 👀

Today's issue covers Apple Has Another Chance To Wow With AI, Robinhood Did NOT Make It This Time, and more. 📰

With the final numbers for indexes and the ETFs that track them, 4 of 11 sectors closed green, with consumer discretionary $XLY ( ▼ 0.47% ) leading and utilities $XLU ( ▲ 1.21% ) lagging.

S&P 500 $SPY ( ▲ 0.4% ) 6,005

Nasdaq 100 $QQQ ( ▲ 0.24% ) 21,798

STOCKS
Apple Has Another Chance To Wow With AI 🤖 

A year ago, Apple said, “How do you do, fellow tech companies,” when it announced Apple Intelligence at its summer tech conference. Since then, the only thing Apple Intelligence seems to do is turn text notifications into… text notifications.

The tech giant has a fresh chance to win over investors this week at their WWDC25 conference, which started today. Apple needs a win recently, having spent untold amounts of money moving production around while Tim Cook tries to get President Trump to stop bullying his smartphone firm with tariffs.

Monday, Apple announced a new digital design that makes apps transparent, a new IOS naming convention, updates to its expensive VR system, Apple TV, and music updates, and a ChatGPT partnered image generation app.

It’s only been a day, but the changes and products seem marginally interesting at best, and decorative at worst. The stock fell Monday, and sentiment climbed, as investors ask the obvious: Where is the smart Siri AI assistant?

This $0.20 Gold Stock Is Building a Mine Now & Hardly Anyone’s Watching

Central banks are buying gold at the fastest pace in over 50 years. Global debt is spiralling out of control. Investors are ditching U.S. bonds and piling into gold— not just for safety, but for serious upside. Now the smart money is rotating into gold equities. And one little-known company has quietly landed at the center of it all.

$30B mining giant Barrick bought 5.5 million shares— and is snapping up all the land around its bonanza-grade discovery. Why? Because this isn’t just another explorer.

It’s fully permitted, has construction financing commitments, and is just months from construction. It sits beside a 13.5 million Oz gold mine owned by one of the world’s biggest producers.

Insiders hold most of the shares. No cheap paper. No bloated float. Key upcoming catalysts could drive a meaningful re-rating of the share price.

The market hasn’t caught on… But it will. This isn’t a trade. It’s a setup.

COMPANY NEWS
Robinhood Did NOT Make It This Time 🐂 

Robinhood shares fell $HOOD ( ▼ 1.39% ) after the firm failed to secure a spot in the S&P 500 during the latest quarterly rebalancing, despite speculation that it was a top candidate for inclusion.

Friday, investors watched and flooded the S&P Global site to watch for the stocks edition, among other top contenders. The site was overwhelmed and crashed for a couple of hours.

In the end, the firm announced no new editions in the June rebalance. Investors were also betting on the inclusion of Applovin, Interactive Brokers, and Carvana.

$APP ( ▼ 0.74% ) was the hardest hit of the suspected additions, falling throughout the day.
