AI gods giveth... but the market’s still petty

😎 Market Vibes

Wall Street's got whiplash today.
Nvidia crushed earnings (again) but got side-eyed over China and guidance. Snowflake and Pure Storage are partying like it's 2021. And small caps? Quietly making moves no one asked for - up 6.6% this month and finally getting invited to the breakout conversation.

Let's break it down.

💀 Guidance killed the vibe again

• 🆕 S&P 500 Morning Vibe Check: Futures barely budged heading into today's open - kinda flat, kinda meh. No grand breakout yet, just low-energy eyelids staying open.

• 🚀 Snowflake & Pure Storage Pop After Earnings: Both names ripped +13-15% pre-market after bullish AI-fueled prints. Chalk one up for the "storage is sexy" crowd.

• 🛑 Nvidia Slips Despite Blowout Q2: NVDA beat big on revenue, flexed a $60B buyback-but weak guidance and China risks triggered a ~1-2% sell-off.

• 🤔 September Rate Cut Odds Hit 89%: Treasury yields dipped and traders are pricing in Fed fireworks. Is Powell really gonna blink into the election?

• 🎢 Russell 2000 Eyes Long-Awaited Breakout: Small caps are up 6.6% in August and just ~3% below their Nov '21 peak. After 952 trading days in the penalty box... is this the moment?

Here’s the best day to buy Nvidia

Thinking of buying Nvidia? In short, Nvidia has an 86% history of soaring on one particular date every spring, bull or bear market. Or how about McDonald’s? Beginning every October 25, it has a 93% history of soaring. In short, there’s a powerful new website that helps you foresee the biggest stock jumps – to the day – with 83% backtested accuracy. But because it’s brand-new and the creators are looking for “beta testers,” you can claim free access to it, right here.

💸 Trade Talk

Snowflake and Pure Storage are popping like firecrackers - AI mania is clearly still juiced. Meanwhile, Nvidia threw down monster numbers, but a China blackout and softer guidance cooled the vibe. It's a tale of two data plays: one soaring, one sagging - all powered by the same hype engine. Hype is pumping, but even Snowflake rallies come with a side of whiplash.

🧠 Big Brain Energy

952 trading days. That's how long the Russell 2000 has gone without tagging a new all-time high. It's up 6.6% this month, still ~3% below its 2021 peak - which means small caps are flirting with a glow-up, but still stuck in the friend zone.

🧨The Outrage Meter

Nvidia flexes with $46B in revenue, a $60B buyback, and growth stats that would make a junkie sweat - and still, the stock can't catch a break. Why? Because guidance didn't beam in from another galaxy and China sales are basically in timeout. In any other era, this print would've melted faces. But in 2025? It's just another overachiever getting ghosted by a market high on hopium and allergic to nuance. Welcome to AI reality - where "perfect" gets you a polite shrug.
