Halfway Through 2025: Did You Beat the Market or Just Watch It?

We’re six months deep into 2025 and the S&P 500 is up less than 3.5%. That’s it. After all the headline-chasing, pulse-pounding reversals, and late-night stress sessions watching futures tick red… you’re sitting on a gain that barely keeps up with a savings account. Meanwhile, traders have been whipsawed by the ten-headed beast of macros: sticky inflation, Fed mind games, geopolitical powder kegs, and enough bond market volatility to rattle the teeth out of a risk manager. A.I. stocks soared, oil prices spiked, and the only thing more unpredictable than the markets was the messaging from central banks and Capitol Hill. Bottom line? That’s a lot of stress for just 3.5%. And if you’re not using A.I. to navigate this mess, you’re flying blind in a storm built for machines.

VantagePoint A.I. Stock of the Week NETFLIX ($NFLX)

Wall Street’s been running the numbers, and here’s the deal: 38 analysts threw their hats in the ring over the past 3 months, and the average price target for $NFLX is $1,130.06. But don’t miss the bigger picture… the high-end forecast? $1,600. That’s a serious payday. On the low end? $760, which still ain’t a disaster if you’re in early. Bottom line — Netflix is walking the tightrope between greatness and gravity, and smart money is still leaning bullish.

U.S. Treasuries Decoded: The Market’s Most Powerful (and Misunderstood) Weapon

As of 2025, the U.S. Treasury market stands at over $27 trillion in outstanding debt and growing. That’s not just a big number. That’s the largest, most important debt market in the world. Now compare that to the U.S. stock market, which clocks in at a total market capitalization of around $52 trillion. You might think that means stocks dominate the financial system — but you’d be wrong.

VantagePoint A.I. Stock of the Week Jabil Inc. ($JBL)

Wall Street remains divided on the trajectory of Jabil (JBL). Among six analysts covering the stock, price targets span a notable range — from a bearish $150 to a bullish $206, reflecting the uncertainty surrounding the company’s valuation amid its evolving A.I. narrative. The average price target, $169.17, implies a potential 13.88% downside from the current trading level of $196.42, suggesting that while Jabil's fundamentals remain solid, expectations may have outpaced near-term consensus.

Harvesting Bitcoin Volatility: A Trader’s Strategy for Income

You want moonshots? Fine. But don’t you dare ignore the turbulence on the way up. Bitcoin isn’t a steady dividend stock. It doesn’t walk. It lunges, leaps, and sometimes crashes through the floor before clawing its way back to all-time highs. That’s where most retail traders curl up into the fetal position. But the smart ones? They smell blood in the water. Because volatility doesn’t just create fear — it creates premium. And premium is the fuel of a covered call strategy.
