US stocks mostly stalled on Thursday as a hot inflation report cooled the recent rally.

🤔 Will $RDDT be included in the S&P 500? There’s a lot of chatter on Reddit about… Reddit ($RDDT).

On average, stocks see significant price gains when they’re added to the S&P (which dissipate over a 2 month period, according to McKinsey). $RDDT is up 68% over the past month. 

💰 Warren Buffett’s company just bought $1.6 billion in UnitedHealth $UNH shares yesterday. Michael Burry bought, too. We’re honored to have made the same call as Berkshire Hathaway and Scion Asset Management! It will be interesting to see what Buffett’s vote of confidence does for the stock moving forward—$UNH rose 10% after hours on the news. Berkshire Hathaway bought 5 other stocks in key industries as well—and one makes it look like Buffett thinks rates will come down.

🇺🇸 The White House is reportedly considering taking a stake in Intel $INTC—just days after Trump called for Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan to resign. Intel shares rose 9% in extended trading as the rumor circulated. Earlier this week, the President had a meeting with Tan, which Trump said “was a very interesting one. [Tan’s] success and rise is an amazing story.” If the US government invests in Intel, it could be great for the company—but it raises concerns about the nationalization of public companies.
