Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) shares are trading lower Tuesday ahead of earnings after the bell. Here&#8217;s what you need to know <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/25/02/43629033/smci-stock-bullish-ahead-of-q2-earnings-but-25-downside-looms-analysts-warn">ahead of the report</a>.
What To Know: Super Micro is due to report fiscal second-quarter financial results after the market close on Tuesday. Analysts are looking for earnings of 75 cents per share and revenue of $6.13 billion, according to estimates from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Super Micro shares have rallied leading up to the report, having gained approximately 40% over the past five trading sessions at the time of writing. 
Strong revenue growth driven by the company&#8217;s positioning in the AI space has helped push shares higher in recent years, but the reported numbers face skepticism from bears who await an update on the company&#8217;s delayed filings. 
In July, Super Micro&#8217;s auditor Ernst &amp; Young communicated concerns about several matters related to governance, transparency and completeness of communications, and warned that timely filing of the company's annual report was at significant risk.
The independent auditor resigned in October over&nbsp;governance and transparency concerns and Super Micro launched an independent Special Committee review. 
The company said in December that the special committee's investigation found no evidence of fraud or misconduct on the part of management or the company's board.&nbsp;Super Micro adopted all of the special committee recommendations and announced that it would be able to file its annual report for the fiscal year ended June, 30 within the discretionary period granted by the Nasdaq. Super Micro has until Feb. 25 to file its report.

The analyst believes the company stands to benefit from tightening internal controls related to the delayed filings. 
On the other hand, Wedbush&#8217;s Matt Bryson is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">cautious</a> ahead of the report, citing &#8220;substantial unknowns&#8221; that could impact the company&#8217;s results. The analysts maintained a Neutral rating on shares until there is more clarity around the delayed filings.
SMCI Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/smci">Super Micro shares</a> were down 3.81% at $41.03 at the time of publication Tuesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Sunoco Q4 Results Show Margin Pressure In Fuel Distribution, Misses Estimates

In a plot twist to rival any bestseller, Barnes &amp; Noble has pulled off the comeback of the ages. A few years ago, it appeared the beloved bookstore chain was on its deathbed. It was hemorrhaging cash and closed 150 stores. It seemed destined to go the way of its former rival, Borders. Confounding expectations, however, it opened<a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/how-barnes-and-noble-made-a-comeback-by-revitalizing-its-philosophy"> </a>60 stores nationwide last year— more than it did in a<a href="https://www.barnesandnobleinc.com/press-release/barnes-noble-opens-new-store-upper-east-side/"> decade between 2009 and 2019</a> — and plans to open 60 more in 2025. It has an unlikely angel on its shoulder to thank for its resurrection — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/02/43511395/trump-pushes-for-tiktok-deal-china-could-oblige-if-it-werent-for-those-tariffs-heres-what-we-know">TikTok</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Community First</h2>
The China-based app, itself threatened with a demise in the U.S. before President Donald Trump intervened, has a rabid following of book lovers via its BookTok channel, which emerged in 2020 during the pandemic, causing a literary virality authors and retailers could only dream about. Seizing the zeitgeist, Barnes &amp; Noble CEO James Daunt began prioritizing customer preferences over publishers' promotions, nurturing a community of readers that determined the displays in each store, according to the popularity of books in each market. Thus, instead of being a one-size-fits-all corporate retailer, it adopted the personalized feel of a community bookstore.&nbsp;

</ul>
&#8220;The problem with Barnes &amp; Noble, when I took it over, was that the bookstores themselves weren&#8217;t very good,&#8221; Daunt <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/16/business/barnes-and-noble-is-back-again/index.html">told CNN</a>. &#8220;I think a proper bookstore has to be curated, and that is the essence of one of the core skills of what it is to be a bookseller. You are trying to have the titles that you think will most interest your customers and display them.&#8221;&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Turning Away Corporate Cash</h2>
Daunt&#8217;s maverick approach wasn&#8217;t without its risks. Publishers pay to display, handing over cash for prominent positioning. It also puts a lot of trust in each bookstore&#8217;s manager to accurately curate based on taste and sales. Younger families with kids were catered to in certain stores, while older, more affluent buyers in others. The gamble worked. Foot traffic has increased by 7% since 2019. Year-over-year visits have increased nearly every month since November 2023, according to location analytics company<a href="https://www.placer.ai/blog/barnes-noble-writing-a-new-story"> Placer.ai. </a>&nbsp;BookTok&#8217;s audience helped with the curation.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The BookTok Influence</h2>
&#8220;A lot of stores took advantage of the heyday of BookTok and created tables and specific displays of varying sizes because they had that flexibility, which is another beautiful thing about the stores really determining their own destiny,&#8221; Shannon DeVito, Barnes &amp; Noble's head of books, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/01/43152468/cnn-prepares-to-lay-off-hundreds-amid-warner-bros-discoverys-digital-overhaul-and-industry-wide-shift-report">told CNN</a>.
Step into any Barnes and Noble, and you&#8217;ll see the BookTok influence, with a<a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/b/booktok/_/N-2vdn?cjdata=MXxOfDB8WXww&amp;st=AFF&amp;SID=Evergreen+Link+for+Barnes+&amp;+Noble&amp;2sid=Skimlinks_100107765_NA&amp;sourceId=AFFSkimlinks&amp;cjevent=d4f008afe63a11ef821903630a82b820&amp;dpid=tekz25v83"> whole section</a> dedicated to the social media sub-channel, which makes it easy to grab, dance, and film for the users. Barnes and Noble has taken things one step further, incorporating a sprayed edges section that feeds into one of the latest trends in publishing, adorning special editions with embellished edges. The<a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/onyx-storm-rebecca-yarros/1145190835"> retailer&#8217;s website</a> shows dragons flying up the edge of Rebecca Yarros&#8216; multimillion-selling "Onyx Storm", an all-black &#8220;Night Court&#8221;-themed edition of Sarah J.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Amazon: Friend Not Foe</h2>
Interestingly, Daunt views <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43550696/amazon-to-pour-nearly-100-billion-into-ai-in-2025-surpassing-microsoft-and-alphabet-andy-jassy-says-cost-of-inference-will-meaningfully-come-down-amid-deepseek-worries">Amazon</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) as an ally rather than a rival in Barnes and Noble&#8217;s success. &#8220;It&#8217;s taken is all the boring books out of our stores,&#8221; Daunt <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/how-barnes-and-noble-made-a-comeback-by-revitalizing-its-philosophy">told PBS</a>. &#8220;We used to have great, huge medical sections that taught doctors and nurses and all the other professionals. But those books are very boring. No more. You go onto Amazon, bump, it arrives through your letter box three minutes later.&#8221;
Another interesting component of Barnes and Noble&#8217;s success is that its expansion has included taking over struggling local bookstores, thus still serving the community with a literary fix.
&#8220;Bookstores get into trouble. What we now do as a chain is, we rescue them. We give them a safe home. We don&#8217;t change them. We don&#8217;t change the people. We don&#8217;t change the name. But we give them the structure of the large chain,&#8221; Daunt told PBS.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Experiential Factor</h2>
Barnes and Noble&#8217;s most significant selling point over Amazon is its sense of community, which inspired the BookTok movement during lockdown. It&#8217;s fitting that the two worlds have now come together.
&#8220;If you buy Percival Everett&#8216;s &#8220;James&#8221; from Amazon, it&#8217;s the same Percival Everett I will sell you,&#8221; Daunt told PBS. &#8220;But if you come into this store to buy it, you will come in, you will be surrounded by other books, which you can browse and engage with. Almost certainly, you will have another fellow customer saying, ‘Oh, have you read this by him? Have you read that?' You will have an experience. And when you walk out of the store with it in your bag, it will lift you. It&#8217;s the same book, but I promise you it&#8217;s a better book and the reading of it will be more pleasurable because you bought it in a bookstore.&#8221;

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Casella Waste Sys 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

In the current market session, Beazer Homes USA Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BZH#NYSE">BZH</a>) price is at $23.23, after a 2.79% increase. However, over the past month, the stock decreased by 14.22%, and in the past year, by 21.84%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1739290509_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing Beazer Homes USA P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Beazer Homes USA has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 11.42 of the Household Durables industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1739290509_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Fed's Chair Powell Says Very Clear On The Law That Fed Is Still Required To Make Payments To Cfpb

Ride-hailing company Lyft Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>) could highlight more progress on autonomous vehicles when the company reports fourth-quarter financial results<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings"> after market close Tuesday.</a>
Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect Lyft to report fourth-quarter revenue of $1.56 billion. That&#8217;s up from $1.23 billion in last year's fourth quarter, according to data<a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent021125&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"> from Benzinga Pro.</a>
The company has beaten analyst revenue estimates in eight straight quarters and nine of the last 10 quarters overall.
Analysts expect Lyft to report fourth-quarter earnings per share of 22 cents, up from 18 cents in last year's fourth quarter. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in seven straight quarters and nine of the last 10 quarters overall.

What Analysts Are Saying: Bank of America analyst Michael McGovern<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/43314361/lyft-faces-growing-competition-bank-of-america-analyst-warns"> reiterated a Buy rating</a> on Lyft. He also lowered the price target from $21 to $19 in a recent note.
The analyst highlighted the appointment of Sean Duffy as Transportation Secretary, Waymo's testing in Los Angeles and Uber's new price lock feature as three notable catalysts for the company.
McGovern said Waymo's testing could be viewed as a threat to Lyft with autonomous ride services competing for customers.
Uber's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) $2.99 price lock pass allowing customers to secure pricing ahead of time for a one-hour window daily could increase competition with Lyft if the service is rolled out fully. Lyft has a similar price lock feature that has been successful.  
While those items are potential negatives for Lyft, Duffy&#8217;s confirmation oas Transportation Secretary could be a positive for the company. Duffy has been a proponent of federal regulation for autonomous vehicles, instead of leaving decisions up to states.
Here are other recent<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LYFT/analyst-ratings"> analyst ratings for Lyft</a> and their price targets:
<ul>
<li>UBS: Maintained Neutral rating, lowered price target from $18 to $16</li>
<li>Bank of America: Maintained Buy rating, lowered price target from $21 to $19</li>
<li>Wells Fargo: Maintained Equal-Weight rating, lowered price target from $17 to $14</li>
<li>Wedbush: Maintained Neutral rating, lowered price target from $20 to $18</li>
<li>Benchmark: Upgraded from Hold to Buy, with $20 price target</li>
</ul>
Key Items to Watch: Lyft's earnings report comes after the recent news the company could launch robotaxis as soon as 2026. Lyft <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/02/43596967/lyft-stock-is-moving-higher-monday-heres-why">is collaborating with</a> Mobileye Global Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MBLY#NASDAQ">MBLY</a>) on launching a fully autonomous robotaxi service to its app.
The vehicles are expected to be tested in Dallas soon with more markets coming in the following months.
Lyft will likely share more details on its robotaxis. It may also face questions from analysts on the upcoming launch, timetable and various partnerships.
The ride-share company also recently announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43536368/whats-going-on-with-ride-hailing-company-lyfts-stocks-today">a strategic alliance </a>with AI company Anthropic to create AI-powered solutions to help customers.
Lyft is using Anthropic's AI model Claude for its customer service operations already and has witnessed an 87% cut in the average resolution time.
"Lyft is using Claude to both reimagine the future of ridesharing, and at the same time deliver tangible benefits to their community today," Anthropic Vice President of Product Management Michael Gerstenhaber said.
There could be high expectations for Lyft's fourth quarter after the company's most recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41789162/lyft-stock-drives-higher-after-better-than-expected-q3-results">third quarter </a>included record active riders, record riders and revenue and earnings per share beat analyst estimates.
The company called the results "one of the strongest quarters in Lyft history."
Lyft's earnings report comes less than a week after Uber reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43495476/uber-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-growth-in-rides-delivery-and-autonomous-tech-ceo-calls-it-strongest-quarter">fourth-quarter financial results</a>. Uber beat analyst estimates for revenue and earnings per share. The company saw double-digit growth for gross bookings, deliveries, trips and monthly active platform consumers.
Uber's strong quarterly report could put increased pressure on Lyft to beat estimates and show double-digit growth in several areas along with positive commentary on robotaxis.
Price Action: Lyft stock is up 1.2% to $15.30 on Tuesday versus a 52-week range of $8.92 to $20.82. Lyft stock is up 10.8% year-to-date and up 21.9% over the past year.
Uber stock trades at $78.30 versus a 52-week trading range of $54.84 to $87.00. Uber stock is up 24.5% year-to-date and up 13.8% over the past year.

Winter weather is moving into nearly every part of the country this week and threatens to bring several different weather hazards depending on location. An atmospheric river is taking aim at fire-scarred areas of Southern California, while the MidAtlantic and Northeast regions brace for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43544471/winter-storm">more snow and ice.&nbsp;</a>
MidAtlantic Snow: The first major weather event of this busy week will strike the MidAtlantic region on Tuesday with snow and ice spreading through the Washington D.C., Philadelphia and New York City metro areas.&nbsp;

AccuWeather meteorologists warn that the <a href="https://www.accuweather.com/en/winter-weather/early-week-winter-storm-to-dump-snow-from-dc-to-philly-nyc/1743253">storm</a> will trigger plowing operations and deicing activity at airports in an area covering approximately 200,000 square miles. 
Travelers should prepare for delays and disruptions. Two of the largest airlines serving the Washington D.C. and Philadelphia airports are American Airlines Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) and Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>).&nbsp;
Northeast Snow: A second snow and ice storm will follow quickly on the heels of the MidAtlantic snow, arriving on Wednesday night with snow forecast for New England and rain further south. Snow will change to sleet and freezing rain during the day on Thursday and come to an end on Thursday night. 
Grocery and home improvement stores may see increased traffic as people stock up on food and essentials before the storm. Retailers like Walmart, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) and Home Depot, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) could see a boost in revenue from storm-related sales.&nbsp;
California Rain: An atmospheric river is lining up and will hit California on Wednesday, with the worst of the weather expected on Thursday. The storm is expected to be the strongest in a year, according to <a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-02-11/strongest-southern-california-storm-in-a-year-what-to-know">the</a> Los Angeles Times and will bring heavy rains to the entire state, including fire-damaged areas of Los Angeles. 
The National Weather Service warned of "potentially life-threatening and damaging flooding and debris flows," which are a type of landslide that may affect the recently burned areas.&nbsp;
Residents and insurance companies in Southern California, like Allstate Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALL#NYSE">ALL</a>) and Chubb Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CB#NYSE">CB</a>), may take another hit if further damage is caused by landslides and debris flows in the fire-ravaged areas.&nbsp;

February Winter Weather Set To Bring Northeast Snow, Soak California Fire Zones

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://thearorareport.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2025-02-11_07h50_54.png" alt="" /></figure>
To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Beware Of Air&nbsp;</h4>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/chart-analysis-stock-market-stocks-running-powell-testimony-smtc-mc-02112025">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of Semtech Corp (SMTC).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>This article is about the big picture, not an individual stock.&nbsp; The chart of SMTC is being used to illustrate the point.</li>
<li>Many stocks are running up on the momo crowd buying, and short squeezes with only air underneath the stocks.</li>
<li>Aggressive momo crowd buying is levitating many stocks to a level completely divorced from reality.  Short sellers see this as an opportunity to short the stocks.  The momo crowd continues to buy these stocks.  Short sellers are forced to buy to cover, leading to upward pressure.  Short squeezes result in technical breakouts; investors who invest mostly with technical analysis then jump in.  The momo crowd buys more.  The cycle repeats itself again and again, driving many stocks higher and higher.</li>
<li>When stocks run up in the above described manner, there is only air below them.</li>
<li>The chart of SMTC illustrates the point.&nbsp; Semtech is a provider of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and communication solutions.</li>
<li>The chart shows when SMTC stock ran up on earnings.  To The Arora Report and anyone who understands rack architecture, it was obvious that the increase in earnings in November 2024 was temporary due to Semtech's CopperEdge product being included in NVIDIA Corp (NVDA) stack.   At The Arora Report, we quickly concluded that the likely changes in Nvidia's server rack architecture did not justify the aggressive buying of SMTC stock.  The momo crowd continued to buy SMTC stock.</li>
<li>The chart shows that the stock dropped on earnings in February as the company announced what was obvious not only to The Arora Report but to any investor who did proper analysis.</li>
<li>The chart shows that the drop in SMTC stock is on high volume, indicating that the momo crowd feels trapped and is panicking and selling SMTC stock.</li>
<li>For most stocks, it is not as clear cut as SMTC, and the stocks continue to run. Prudent investors need to know that there is only air underneath them. &nbsp;It is difficult to short stocks like SMTC due to short squeezes.</li>
<li>Fed Chair Powell will appear before the Senate today and the House on Wednesday.&nbsp; Powell is going to be in a difficult spot – Republicans are going to try very hard to have Powell agree with President Trump's policies and Democrats are going to try very hard to have Powell say something against Trump's policies.&nbsp; The consensus is that Powell will not take sides.&nbsp; What Powell says, especially during Q&amp;A, may be market moving.&nbsp; The prepared text of Powell's opening statement is expected to be released prior to the testimony.</li>
<li>This morning, there is some selling in the early trade as many investors are concerned about the impact of reciprocal tariffs that Trump may impose.&nbsp; On the positive side, the momo crowd continues to buy.</li>
<li>Trump is warning that tariffs on steel and aluminum can go higher than the present 25%.</li>
<li>Investors are anxiously waiting for the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which will be released tomorrow at 8:30am ET.</li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Money Flows</h4>
In the early trade, money flows are negative in Apple Inc (AAPL), Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN), Alphabet Inc Class C (GOOG), Meta Platforms Inc (META), Microsoft Corp (MSFT), Tesla Inc (TSLA), and NVDA.
In the early trade, money flows are negative in SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (QQQ).
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h4>
Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.  Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.  The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust (GLD).  The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust (:SLV).  The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF (USO).
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h4>
Bitcoin is range bound.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h4>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.&nbsp; The proprietary protection band from The Arora Report is very popular.&nbsp; The protection band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h4>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.
The Arora Report is known for its accurate calls. The Arora Report correctly called the big artificial intelligence rally before anyone else, the new bull market of 2023, the bear market of 2022, new stock market highs right after the virus low in 2020, the virus drop in 2020, the DJIA rally to 30,000 when it was trading at 16,000, the start of a mega bull market in 2009, and the financial crash of 2008.
