Trump's $3.3 Trillion Bill Passes — Now What?

Just before the fireworks lit up the sky, Congress passed the $3.3 trillion piece of legislation that experts say could ignite a very different kind of pop — one in the U.S. economy and financial markets.

President Trump’s “One Big, Beautiful Bill” is rewiring key pillars of the economy, pairing deep tax relief with aggressive spending cuts and an unexpected push into retail investing.

From permanent tax cuts to increased military funding to an overhaul of Medicaid and food assistance programs, the bill is reshaping where government money flows and who benefits.

What does this all mean for your portfolio?

The sweeping changes and shifts could provide near-term gains in specific industries and sectors and losses in others. Major shifts are expected to take place and while the markets may be optimistic now, the long-term impact of this sweeping bill is anything but settled. Read on for all the details.

Sportradar’s Expanded Partnership With Major League Baseball Could Benefit Fans, The League And Its Own Bottom Line

Sportradar (SRAD), a leading global sports technology company that creates immersive experiences for sports fans and bettors, recently extended and expanded its decade-long partnership with Major League Baseball.

On This Day In 1933…

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) began processing the first registration statements under the newly enacted Securities Act of 1933 — a landmark law passed in response to the 1929 stock market crash. This required companies to register new securities offerings with the federal government before selling them to the public, aiming to provide investors with full transparency and disclosure and prevent fraudulent practices. Prior to this legislation, securities could be sold with minimal transparency, making it difficult for investors to properly assess the value and risks of their investments.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

“The time of maximum pessimism is the best time to buy, and the time of maximum optimism is the best time to sell.”

Cybertruck Dreams Shatter As Musk's 250K Goal Unravels

Elon Musk envisioned a future where the Cybertruck ruled America’s roads, capturing the imagination of thrill-seekers, tech-lovers, and pickup truck loyalists alike.

But fresh delivery data paints a very different picture. Despite initial hype and millions of early registrations, Cybertruck sales are now raising eyebrows — and not in the way investors hoped.

So far this year, delivery figures suggest Tesla may only hit 8% of its original production target for the Cybertruck, a far cry from the 250,000 units annually Musk once predicted. What’s even more concerning, is that inventory seems to be piling up, price cuts are surfacing, and whispers of weak demand are becoming harder to ignore. For a vehicle that was supposed to redefine the pickup category, the gap between ambition and reality is growing.

Is all this just a temporary speed bump, or has Tesla misread its customer base entirely?
