💡 Rapid Fire: Today’s Hottest Ideas

You are receiving this newsletter as a subscriber to Premium Stock Alerts

Good Morning, Traders!…👋

U.S. stock index futures tumbled Monday, with the tech sector leading the decline as investors assessed the competitive threat posed by Chinese AI startup DeepSeek to highly valued U.S. technology giants. The S&P 500's recent record high has prompted profit-taking, further pressuring the sector.

Beyond tech, the focus this week shifts to a lineup of key corporate earnings reports. Major names such as Starbucks, Boeing, General Motors, Visa, and Exxon are set to announce results, providing investors with further insight into the state of the economy and corporate health.

Attention also turns to the Federal Reserve’s January meeting on Wednesday. While Fed funds futures suggest a 99% likelihood that the central bank will keep rates unchanged, traders will scrutinize statements for any signals on future policy adjustments. Additionally, the Fed’s preferred inflation measure, the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, will be released Friday, offering crucial data on inflation trends.

Pulling an Uber in the $500 Billion Smartphone Industry

What if you invested in Uber before they went public?

Mark Cuban turned them down at a valuation of $10 million and missed out on a 919,900% return when they went public at over $80 billion!

And by the time we hear about industry-changing disruptions like this, it's usually too late... but right now there's a tech-startup making waves behind the scenes. Like Uber turned vehicles into income-generating assets, they're turning smartphones into the easiest passive income source imaginable.

They were named the #1 fastest growing software company by Deloitte in 2023 and have already earned over +$325M for their customers.

This tech startup is Mode Mobile, and unlike Uber you have a chance to invest in their company at just $0.26/share before they go public.

Here's how you can invest and even earn 100% bonus shares for a limited time.
