Today we want to show you that Buffett-era investing is dead and that you need to move on to something bigger and more cohesive.

You used to be able to look for value in a company’s financials alone. Not so anymore.

Buffett made it big by finding companies with solid financial potential, but these days, everyone already knows which companies have decent earnings reports.

And then it was all about technical analysis (TA). But guess what? Everyone’s got charts too. Or they can read the summaries from the experts.

The new frontier is social sentiment data, which we lean into heavily here (Reddit sentiment, Twitter mentions, etc.).

But the real key to modern investing? Combining all three of the above investing styles: fundamentals, technical analysis, and social sentiment (More).

If you only invested based on fundamentals, you’d probably be doing ok, but you would’ve missed out on glaring technical indicators and 600% Reddit stocks.

But if you only used social sentiment and TA, you wouldn’t know if stocks like Robinhood (+220% YTD) or Oklo (+538% YTD) had legit business prospects.

We need all three. So we wrote a short guide to incorporating them all here. Let us know what you think!

Stocks closed at record highs Tuesday as Wall Street cheered the kickoff of earnings season.

In our poll from yesterday, Amazon and Google tied for “most undervalued Magnificent 7 stock,” according to our readers. It was one of our most heated polls ever (see results lower in the newsletter), so we’re marking this down: if we bought Amazon & Google today at $222.03 (AMZN) and $250.46 (GOOGL), how will they perform over the coming months vs. the other Mag 7? We’ll keep you updated on results.

GM stock surged 15% on its best day in nearly six years after the automaker raised its annual profit forecast and reported adjusted EPS of $2.80, topping expectations while trimming EV spending to protect margins.

Beyond Meat controversy: a trader bought $569,000 worth $17 BYND calls right before stock gained meme status, skyrocketing 448% (More). BYND is was up 100% premarket this morning.

Six Flags shares jumped 17.9% after NFL star Travis Kelce teamed up with activist hedge fund Jana Partners to push for strategic changes at the theme‑park company through a new 9% stake worth about $200 million.

Netflix shares dropped 7% after an earnings miss. The company cited a Brazilian tax dispute as a main reason for the weak results. Despite an earnings miss of over $1 per share, the company still “said it posted its best ad sales quarter ever during the period” (More).

Warner Bros Discovery climbed 11% after rejecting a $60 billion Paramount offer. The company said it will consider strategic options, including splitting its studio and cable divisions, as its $35 billion debt remains a major focus for investors.

OpenAI launched its new ChatGPT Atlas browser, a direct challenge to Google’s Chrome. The browser weaves ChatGPT into every webpage so users can summarize, edit text, or even order groceries by voice. Alphabet stock yo-yo’d down and then back up violently in response.

The US Energy Department plans to buy 1 million barrels of oil for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, taking advantage of lower prices after WTI crude settled at $57.82 a barrel.

Bond traders piled into Treasuries as yields fell to six‑month lows. Rising hedging costs and prolonged government shutdown fears drove a flight to safety while US‑China trade risks lingered.

Gold and silver tumbled in their biggest one‑day slide in years. Even Jim Cramer got in on the action. Gold futures fell almost 6% to $4,105 per ounce, and silver plunged more than 8% as easing trade tensions and a stronger dollar cooled the rally.
