πŸ“‰ BREAKING: 2-Week Ceasefire Announced

How To Own SpaceX Before Elon’s IPO

Elon Musk is quietly planning the largest IPO in stock market history.

By taking SpaceX public, he stands to gain an instant $625 billion in new wealth.

The good news, for you and I, is we can essentially partner with Elon before he cashes out with this record payday.

All you need is $100… plus the ticker I'd like to share with you.

Sincerely,
Tim Bohen

β˜•οΈ GM Munchers! A 2-week ceasefire was announced, stocks are ripping and everywhere I look, I see green. The only thing that can ruin my mood is my wife asking if this means we can finally afford to redo the basement.

BREAKING NEWS

πŸ•ŠοΈ Pakistan Just Saved Your Portfolio

The market was acting like I do when my boss tells me I can't take Thursday and Friday off to watch the Masters. Pouty. Red everywhere. Then, with about as much warning as a text from your mother-in-law, Pakistan showed up.

  • The Setup: Trump gave Iran until 8pm Tuesday to open the Strait of Hormuz or face what he called "Power Plant Day and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one." Less than two hours before that deadline, he was still threatening to wipe out an entire civilization. Normal Tuesday stuff.

  • The Hail Mary: Pakistan's Prime Minister called on both Trump and Iran to agree to a two-week ceasefire to create a window for peace talks. Pakistan's army chief reportedly spent the entire night before on the phone with JD Vance, Steve Witkoff, and Iran's foreign minister. The White House confirmed it.

Markets heard "ceasefire" and decided that was enough. Green close.

Then It Actually Happened: Trump posted the announcement less than two hours before his own deadline. Two-week ceasefire. All U.S. strikes suspended. Iran agreed and immediately declared victory. The Defence Department confirmed bombs are no longer falling.

The Fine Print: Iran's version of opening the Strait comes with conditions. Safe passage will be possible "via coordination with Iran's Armed Forces and with due consideration of technical limitations." Trump demanded a COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE reopening. Those are not the same sentence. Two weeks to figure out if they are.

After Hours: S&P 500 futures ripped more than 2%. Your portfolio finally exhaled.

The Munch Take: The Strait isn't fully open yet, Iran declared victory, and we've got 14 days to find out if this deal has any actual teeth. But the market doesn't care about teeth right now. It cares about the word "ceasefire." I didn't have Pakistan saving our portfolios on my 2026 bingo card but I’ll take whatever I can get.

πŸ“± The Fold Unfolds: $AAPL Fumbles Its One New Idea

Just when you thought Apple was going to release something actually new for the first time in like 15 years, they announce a delay.

A report dropped that Apple hit unexpected engineering issues during production verification testing of their foldable phone. That is step four of six required before a product ships. They are not even close. Sources said the current solutions are not enough to solve the engineering challenges and that more time is needed.

The hinge. It is always the hinge.

The most likely scenario now puts the announcement and release into early 2027. For context, Samsung launched its first foldable in 2019. Apple has had six years to watch, learn, and copy. They are still stuck on step four.

The iPhone Fold was rumoured to carry a starting price as high as $2,400. Two thousand four hundred dollars. For a phone that bends. That may or may not ship this decade.

The Munch Take: $AAPL has spent years selling us the same rectangle with a slightly better camera and calling it a revolution. The one time they try something genuinely different, the hinge breaks in testing. My wife has been asking me to fix a hinge on our kitchen cabinet for four months. I now feel a deep kinship with Apple's engineering team.

MARKET OVERVIEW

🍿 Tasty Movers & Shakers

🍌 $NKE Nike cratered another 3% yesterday, sliding to its lowest price since 2014. That is not a rough patch. That is a full identity crisis in slow motion.

🎡 Billionaire Bill Ackman went shopping. $UMG Universal Music Group ripped 11.4% after Ackman's Pershing Square made a fresh bid for the company. When a billionaire decides he wants something, the stock tends to agree immediately.

πŸ’Š Healthcare had itself a day. $HUM Humana jumped 7.9%, $UNH UnitedHealth surged 9.37%, and $CVS CVS Health rallied 6.74% after the government boosted 2027 Medicare Advantage reimbursement rates. Washington giveth. Washington also taketh. Enjoy it while it lasts.

πŸš€ Bitcoin got in on the ceasefire rally and climbed 5% to $72,000. Still down 17% in 2026 but we all have to start somewhere.

STOCK OF THE DAY

πŸš— Is This The Next GameStop?

Avis Budget Group ripped 20% yesterday. Here is why that is completely insane.

  • The company lost $995 million last year.

  • It took a $518 million impairment charge on its electric vehicle fleet.

  • Total debt sits above $28 billion, eating over $1 billion in annual interest.

  • Management missed guidance. Deutsche Bank downgraded it. Morgan Stanley slashed its price target to $97. Every fundamental signal said the same thing: stay away.

So naturally, the stock is up 66% this year.

Here is what actually happened. Short interest hit 67.7% of the float. That is not a heavily shorted stock. That is an invitation. Retail found it, piled in, and the shorts started covering.

The message volume on Stocktwits spiked 2,033% in 24 hours. The memes started. The momentum built. Avis then announced a partnership with Waymo, the autonomous ride-hailing company and that gave the bulls something to point at besides pure chaos. It is thin. But thin is enough when sentiment goes nuclear.

The Munch Take: This is the GameStop playbook running in real time. Broken company. Crowded short. Retail army with a Reddit thread and nothing to do on a Tuesday. The fundamentals don't matter until they suddenly matter a lot. My wife rented an Avis in Phoenix once. It smelled like regret. The shorts know the feeling now.
