Cathie Wood and Michael Saylor are definitely going to be ordering extra guac when they go to Chipotle tonight. their wild vegas investing styles because their high-roller crypto gambles are paying off big time. Bitcoin rocketing past $105,000 as crypto diehards salivated over rumors that President-elect Trump might make Bitcoin the official US currency (not really).

Talk of a U.S. crypto reserve, “crypto czar,” and Trump rolling out pro-Bitcoin policies ASAP had Coinbase up 5% and MicroStrategy exploding 7% higher. (Not sure about Cathie’s $1.5 million Bitcoin price prediction by 2030, but let’s give them their flowers, she’s lost a lot of money since covid).

As far as the boring indexes go… The Dow rose 0.9%, the S&P 500 climbed 1.2%, and the Nasdaq jumped 1.7%. For the week, the Dow and S&P logged their best performances since the election hype of 2020, up 3.8% and 3%, respectively. The Nasdaq wasn’t far behind with a 2.6% gain.

Rumors of Elon Musk potentially buying TikTok caused Elon truthers to buy up Tesla stock and skyrocket the price 6%. Wedbush’s Dan Ives speculated Musk might pull this off using X, his social media playground. Tesla is now up 75% since Election Day.

Rounding out the big news for the day… For the first time in what feels like forever, Intel enjoyed an 8% pop on acquisition rumors, a rare win for a stock that’s been clobbered, losing over 50% this year. 

If you read all of this, congrats for having a 10 second attention span (better than me). As always, here’s our heatmap for today.

Biden Just Gave This EV Company $6.6 Billion Right Before Trump Takes The Keys

The Biden administration just pulled a last-minute "take the money and run" move that would make Bernie Madoff proud. But instead of offshore accounts, they're dumping billions ($8.6 Billion to be exact) into America's favorite money-burning EV startups. 

The big winner is Rivian - you know, that company that makes electric trucks for people who think Tesla is too mainstream. They're set to score a thicc $6.6B loan for their Georgia plant. To put that in perspective, that's about $880k per future job they're promising to create. Makes those PPP loans look like chump change, doesn't it?

But the EV handouts don’t stop there. Plug Power is also getting a $2B participation trophy in the form of a loan guarantee for hydrogen plants. Though someone apparently didn't get the memo about the celebration… some whale decided to dump…

This Billionaire's Wild Trump Prediction Could Redefine Real Estate And Cause 2 Stocks to Explode

Not long after he tried to channel his inner Warren Buffett by making a splashy $85-a-share bid for Howard Hughes Corporation, Ackman’s attention has shifted to a pair of government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) deeply embedded in the U.S. housing market: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (think Zillow addiction, but institutionalized).

What’s he on his knees praying will happen? That Donald Trump, a man who once turned a campaign slogan into a real estate empire, will take these mortgage giants private. If Ackman’s instincts prove right, the windfall could be so massive it might even convince him to take a break from hate-tweeting. Well, maybe.

For over a decade, Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FMCC) have been chilling under government conservatorship. (AKA: Uncle Sam…

This Dating Stock Was Getting Ghosted On Repeat… But Today’s News Makes It an Easy Swipe Right

Bumble’s stock has been swiping left on success since the beginning… no love at first sight here. The once-hot IPO of 2021, boasting a $7.7 billion market cap, has now been ghosted down to an awkward $847 million. That’s an 89% drop for those keeping track of heartbreaks.

But what’s Bumble’s plan to swipe right on a comeback? Bring back founder Whitney Wolfe Herd as CEO in March, because apparently, when in doubt, the founder card is the saviour. And while you might expect me to roast this into oblivion, Bumble might actually have a shot here… if you’re willing to look past the bruises.

Listen, Bumble’s financials aren’t winning any beauty contests. Paying users climbed 13.9% to 4.1 million recently (yay?), but average revenue per paying user dropped 8% to $21.37. To make things worse, Bumble slashed its full-year growth expectations from 8%-11% to…

Bank of America’s Drooling Over This Agentic AI Stock That’s Quietly Running Airports

Even Jensen Huang, NVIDIA’s leather-jacketed oracle, couldn’t contain his excitement about agentic AI at a recent conference, calling it a “multitrillion-dollar opportunity.” And let’s be honest, when Huang… who usually goes pants off for hours about GPUs and quantum computing like they’re the cure for everything… takes time to hype something happening right now, it’s worth listening. (Especially since his quantum computing dreams are, as he says, “30 years away”).

Agentic AI is no longer some abstract concept confined to TED Talks and white papers… it’s already rolling up its sleeves and clocking in. Unlike generative AI, which is great for spitting out cooking recipes or making you look like a medieval knight in your LinkedIn profile pic, agentic AI actually…
