The stock market's long-term upward trend is driven by corporate earnings growth and economic indicators, but specific events like earnings reports (such as Nvidia's Q1 2027 report on May 20) and inflation data (like the April 2026 CPI report) can trigger market pullbacks. Investors should monitor these key events as potential turning points, while understanding that the market has historically recovered from corrections and crashes.

Get yourself down in the description box and check out those links. The first one is going to be that Mumu link. Up to $1,000 in Nvidia stock shares when you open a new Mumu brokerage account. Make a qualifying deposit. Limited time offer. So don't delay. Act today.
Nvidia, most valuable company in the world by market cap. Over a $5 trillion market cap. Don't sleep on this man. You can be a shareholder of that company, but you got to act. First lane, check out that moon link. Second link, Wealthbuilders Financial Community on Patreon. That's my community. I started in 2020. Folk, like-minded people chasing financial freedom and passive income. All we do is block and tackle in there. Man, I'm in the community chat today when the market was going through the roof and man that thing was on fire. It was on fire.
Everybody on fire up in there. Now again, no experts.
We're not experts. We're just people that block and tackle and execute. We understand the sole purpose of the stock market is to go up. Now, that's my personal opinion. That's my first amendment right, my constitutional right, freedom of speech. This is not financial advice. But we believe the whole purpose of the stock market is to go up.
That's what we believe. So, since we believe that, guess what we do every day? Believe that.
And we put our money where our mouth is.
Right? All I'm telling you is if you're stuck in the matrix and you don't believe in anything, you might want to come over to the wealth build wealth builders and spend some time with us.
Again, no experts, just regular people, but we understand the fundamental concept of this thing we call the stock market. At least that's our opinion.
Now, others may have a different opinion, and that's okay. But like I told y'all, you know, earlier today or yesterday, go look at the Magnificent 7. Go look at the founders of the Magnificent 7.
Do a little Google research, a little check GPT research and see where do those six or seven founders have the bulk of their wealth.
I would say it would be in their companies.
or the companies that they started and those companies are guess what? Part of the stock market.
Go look at other founders of other S&P 500 companies. Go look at the CEOs of those S&P 500 companies and figure out where they got the bulk of their wealth at. It's probably in company stock. So, all I'm saying is we believe the whole point of the stock market is to go higher. That doesn't mean it won't pull back from time to time. Doesn't mean it won't have a correction or a bare market or a crash.
We've had all of those things, but we've also had what? Full recoveries every single time. Stock market was at zero one time, ain't been back. See, that's what we fundamentally believe in the wealth builders. Again, no experts, just regular people who understand the whole concept of this thing. So, if you want to be a part of that team, 2300D.
Matter of fact, 2335 wealthbuilders.
And again, we're not experts. We're just regular people who believe in one fundamental thing. Earn, keep what we earn, and multiply what we keep to build wealth. If you want to be a part of that team, second link, click on it. It'll take you over to Patreon. Sign up and then send me a direct message on Patreon to let me know you're there so we can go to work. All right, guys. I got to report to y'all.
We had another stellar day in the stock market. That's my opinion now. No expert, but we had our own we had we had another stellar day.
But we also got this one little thing that could could could destroy the whole thing. And that one little thing is called inflation.
That little sucker right there can set us back. So, we got to keep our eye on it. And guess what we got coming out tomorrow?
Yeah, we got the April 2026 CPI inflation report coming out at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, May 12th.
Yeah. And the reports that I've been reading, well, at least some of the reports is thinking this thing might come in hotter than expected. Basically, inflation going up. But you know something, as I told you guys, and y'all know how I feel about this. The 1% control the media. They control all the propaganda arms in the media. They they control all these little financial arms of their bigger corporate media. And they going to say whatever they want to say, the 1%. So I typically don't believe the 1%. And on this situation, I'm thinking to myself, maybe headline may come in hotter than expected, but when you strip out energy and you strip out food, I think core reading is going to be in line with expectations. Maybe even slightly better. That's what I think now. But we'll have to see tomorrow morning. But that one little thing right there could put a little poo poo on this nice little uh rally we got going right now. So I got to pay attention to that first thing in the morning. Before I do anything else, I want to make sure I get that CPI inflation report reading both headline and core leaning more towards core because that's the one really the Fed uses to kind of judge what's happening with inflation. Now, if inflation does creep up, it's my opinion the market might slow down a little bit.
But the thing we got going for us in our favor is it's earning season. Q1 earning season and and boy, these companies are killing it. All of them killing it.
Well, ain't all of them, but 89% of your S&P 500 companies have reported at expectation or better than expectation on EPS and revenue. That is 89% of the companies, man, that have reported thus far. And today, man, was no different in the market, man. You go look at the S&P 500, guys.
My goodness. Let's go take a look at this thing. This thing is just I I'm telling you now. I know at some point there has to be a pullback because that's just the way the market works.
But when that pullback coming, I've told y'all in my opinion, there won't be a pullback until Nvidia delivers its Q1 2027, fiscal year 2027 earnings report. That's going to be on May 20. If there's going to be a pullback, I believe it pulls back after or right after that report comes out.
Now, that's my opinion and I'm no expert. I'm just giving y'all my guess.
my my my my my personal opinion. But let's look at the S&P, how it's doing, how it did today, at least opened up at 7,385 points.
The low today was 7,384 points. So, it didn't even Here's the high, man. 7,428 points. And guess what that is? Somebody Somebody tell me what that is.
Somebody please explain to me what does that number represent?
I got time. I got time.
What does that number represent? 7,428 points. I asked the wealth builders this morning. And I said, "Do y'all think we get to 7500 today?"
Couple people were like, "I don't know, man. We might get there." I thought we might get there, too, but we we we fell a little short. But at 7,428 points, that is a new all-time high for the history of the S&P 500 index.
Y'all do understand that, right? Now, here's the good news for the S&P.
according to some of these experts out here that I be, you know, I read. When I say experts, I'm not talking about your your your your, you know, your propaganda arm people. I'm not talking about your your your news channels. Not those guys. They work for the 1%. So, they only thing they care about is brainwashing you to get you to do something you don't need to do. I'm not worried about them. I don't listen to them. But when the big banks speak, Bank of America, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, yeah, City, Wells, when those boys start saying, "Hey, man, we think this S&P 500 thing can go anywhere from 76 to 8,100 points this year."
That's what the big boy banks are saying. Now, I'll listen to them. I'm not listening to these guys on uh the cable newsm listen to none of them guys because they work for the 1% and all they want to do is hoodwink you get you to do something you don't need to do right so but I do listen to the big boy banks and the big boy banks have put a put a put a target out there anywhere between 76 and 8100 points today we got the 70fold 28 all-time high record.
So for me that's important. Why is that important? That tells me the broader market is being heavily invested in by somebody. I don't know, billionaires, hedge funds, institutionals, retailers like us, regular old smugglers like us. Somebody doing something and they doing it heavy.
It's heavy.
They are heavy.
They got their foot on the financial pedal all the way down to the ground right now.
Why do you say that, Richard? Well, let's go look at a little couple these couple of these stocks today. Now, let me walk you through uh some evidence.
Now, again, just research. Please go do your own research. This is not financial advice. I'm just walking you through some numbers. Let's start with Na'vias.
Can y'all remember just a little bit of last week? This thing was down in the 15s.
People were thinking, "Oh my goodness, once their earnings come out, it's going to tank." Okay, well, let's take a look at it today. Let's see what happened.
Opened up at $18.13.
This is Na'vias.
Guess what the low was? $18.13.
So, no messing around. Was no dipsy and then go to the moon. Uh-uh. Straight to the moon. Soon as the market open, straight to the moon, right?
$23.82.
This is Nitas. You're talking about in midappril. This thing was $10 a share.
midappril.
I don't know. Somebody like Na'vias out there.
Winner winner chicken dinner if you ask me. But that's my personal opinion. I'm not telling anybody to go buy Na'vas.
Please go do your own research. So, but Na'vi, in my opinion, man, had a good day. Let's look at some more. Let's take old Rocket Lab.
Listen, man. Let's take a look at old Rocket Lab, man.
Let me just paint the stage for you.
Midappril, I'm talking about around April 15, 2026. If you don't believe me, go do the research. This thing was trading at $72 a share.
You're talking about less than one month later. This thing opened at 10527.
The low was 104.
Guess what the high was today for Rocket Lab? $123.94, baby. One year ago, this thing was $16 a share right after Liberation Day.
So, I don't know what I don't know what where y'all been, but it seems like to me something pushing higher, man.
Something going on. I don't know what it is, but my goodness, man. Close that 11735. This Rocket Lab, man. If you don't believe me, go look at Rocket Lab on Liberation Day. I mean, the week of Liberation Day. I think Liberation Day was what, April 2nd.
By that Friday of Liberation Week, Rocket Lab wasn't doing that well. But now look at it right now. This thing hit 123 almost $124 a share. Of course, all-time high.
Okay, you don't believe me? Let's keep going. Let's keep going. Okay, a low another one of my gorillas. Let's keep going. I'm going just keep going with it.
Opened up today, $7141.
The low $6922.
The high $79.65. 65 closed at 7813. Now after hours is cooling off a little bit after hours. Um let's see why. Let's see what's happening right now after hours.
Let me go take a peeky.
I I don't I'm not sure when their earnings report is. Let's see. Has it came out yet?
Tomorrow. OKLO's will will do its earnings tomorrow on May 12th.
But that's what OKLO did today.
We can keep going now if you want me to.
I I'm just I'm just trying to walk you through some things that are going on right now.
Oh yeah, let's go look at the big boy 900 pound silverback invidia because I told y'all already for me personally that's the measuring stick. That and the S&P 500 is the measuring stick for me.
And guess what the big boy 900 lb silverback did today?
5.33 trillion market cap. By the way, listen man, I know this thing gonna pull back at some point, but I told y'all when I think it's gonna pull back. It's got I think the pullback starts on May 20, 2026. That's my personal opinion.
It's a guess. Please go out and do your own homework. This is not financial advice, right? But I think that's when the pullback happens. But until then, I got about what uh not eight trading days, but I got eight calendar days before that happens.
So, guess what I'm gonna be doing?
Doubling down. You got it. Here we go.
open that. This is Nvidia now cuz I can remember some of y'all back in the day.
When I say back in the day, I'm talking about 2024 when this thing split 10 to1 in June 2024. A LOT OF Y'ALL WERE THEY'RE DONE.
THEY'RE OVERPRICED. $120 A SHARE POST SPLIT. THEY'LL NEVER GET TO 200 A SHARE.
THEY'RE OVERPRICED.
OKAY. WELL, let's talk about what they did today. Let's I don't know if they overpriced or not, but somebody disagree with you, but I don't know. I'm just saying. Here we go. Opened at $214.
Low today $213.89.
Guess what? The high was $22230.
That folks, I believe, folks, I believe that represents an all new 52- week high.
Mhm. Yes, it does. There's your new 52- week high right there. Mhm. I think it pushes higher. That's my opinion. Now, I have no nothing to cooperate that. I'm not a financial advisor. I'm just giving you a personal opinion. I'm giving you a guess. My guess is it pushes higher.
My guess is it will continue to push higher until May 20.
Buy the rumor.
Sell the news right now. Buy the rumor.
I think it keeps pushing. Sell the news is May 20.
That's my prediction now. That's my little to uneducated, unqualified, not a financial advisor guess. You go ahead and make your own guess. But you can already see what this thing did today.
Monster numbers. Who else got a $5.33 trillion market cap out there? Let me I got time. Who else got that market cap?
Uh, nobody. That's who else got it. All right, let's keep going. Let me look at a couple more here. Let me let me pull out a couple more that that were winners in my opinion today. And again, I'm I'm no expert here. I'm just giving y'all my little my little two cent now. The rare earth, you know, MP US, you know, you and me.
Damn.
USA had some success early in the day and then fell off the cliff this afternoon.
Who knows? Maybe it's because of Trump going to China. And of course, Trump gonna get over there and say he got everything he wanted. You know, Trump gonna go OVER THERE, OH YEAH, I GOT everything I wanted. I got all the reverse I wanted. I didn't give up anything. You know that's what he gonna say. You already know. But see the investors, they know what Trump gonna say. They they don't they know what he gonna say. The same thing he always say.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I got everything.
We didn't give them nothing.
Like China gonna just give you rare earth and you don't give them nothing.
when they control like 80% of the market share for rare earth, they're just gonna give them to you. Why would they do that? They wouldn't unless they get something from you that they need. Here's what I think will happen. He going to go over there and they going to tell him, "Listen, you're not going to be able to restockpile your military weapons because you ain't got no rare earths." See, you need them rare earths in order to get that stockpile back up to start making them weapons.
You need them rare earth elements.
China going to say, "No, we ain't going to give you them rare earth elements unless you give us what?" Chips.
China going to want the most advanced chips on the market. That's what China going to want.
Chips, rare earth, right? So, we're going to have to see how that little little meeting go. I believe it's on Wednesday through Friday, but I already know how it's going to turn out. I don't even need to already know what he gonna say.
He gonna go over there and say he got everything he wanted. He gave up nothing. China loves him. Him and GBQ Ching or whatever the guy name is over there that run China. They're best friends. Uh all that old stuff. You know Trump. He ain't g y'all already know what Trump gonna say. Best negotiator in the world. I got everything I want. I didn't give up nothing.
I'm telling you right now. No matter what happened over there, his story is going to be the same. I got everything.
didn't give up nothing. I'm the best negotiator in the world. That's what Trump going to say. But you and I know China ain't like that.
You remember when we when he first came out with them them them tariffs. You you you haven't heard him say anything about that in 2026, have you? About China and them tariffs. You don't you don't hear him say nothing about China and them tariffs no more, do you? Okay then. That tell you that's all you need to know. He don't say nothing else about China and them terrorists. Now, he might say something if he don't get his little weight. He might, WELL, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO HIT HIM with 145%.
He might say that. Who knows? You know, Trump, he going he going to always put himself on the top side of any negotiation. And that's fine.
Who who really cares? I don't really care. All I really care about is listen, as long as corporations continue to deliver on these earnings, as long as we can keep inflation under wraps, I'm talking about core inflation, not headline, but core, and as long as, man, we can go ahead and get some good economic data like the jobs report, the jobless claims numbers, keep unemployment low. So we can do all that stuff. We're gonna be fine. Market gonna be fine. It's it's resilient. And even when we do pull back, which we will at some point, you know it and I know it. We going to pull back some point.
This thing we call the stock market will pull back at some point. And again, I believe it will start pulling back after May 20. That's my opinion. I'm not an expert. I'm just giving you my guess.
So, please go do your own homework, your own research, so that you can make sure you understand what's out there. But this is what I believe. But until then, I'm going to continue to be very aggressive on these little things we call gorillas. Because these little gorillas, man, these little gorillas been holding up trying to figure out where do I got my little gorilla list somewhere so I can go take a look at some more of these these these these companies with you guys because it was a pretty good day. Let's look at Regidi.
I mean, Regetti opened at $18.66, went down to $18.33.
That's the low. The high was $20.85, closed at $20.51.
So, there was some opportunity there in rigidity. Let's take a look at ion a little some of these um quantum computing companies.
ION Q opens at $48.14 today. The low was 47.89.
The high 5854, man. That's a $10. That's a flux. Woo.
Lord, love it. Love it.
So, here we go. Let's look at you and me. Another rare earth opened at $10.70.
The low $104.
The high $10.89. Did even break $11.
After hours, $10.75.
Now, I know you and me, they have their earnings report. I want to say I want to say the 13th or the 15th, one of them days. I can't remember. Let me see if I can find that for you guys. That way you might want to, you know, pay a little bit of attention to that. May 14. And I believe that's a Thursday.
That's when You Me has its earnings report come out. So, we'll have to see on that one. We'll see if that uh you know they beat expectations. I think if they beat expectations they have a a good opportunity to keep going higher, but they got to beat expectations. Now again, this is just all personal opinion. I don't you know I I it's one of my gorillas. So I'm not long-term in just, you know, it's a it's a little bit of a a gorilla for me. But I like to watch these little gorillas because, you know, you know, that's what I do every single day. So, that's another one that I, you know, got got my eye on. Seed planted, waiting on harvest. Hopefully, hopefully soon.
Hopefully. So, let's take another look at a couple of S&P 500 big boy stocks to see what's kind of going on with them today. Let's take a look at Amazon real quick. Let's see what Amazon did today.
Well, Amazon opened at $269.84.
The low was $26848.
The high $27363.
Closed at $268.99.
That's Amazon. So, closed down a little bit in the red today, but you can't win them all. Let's see about Meta.
Meta is officially under $600 a share.
It closed at $598.86.
Opened up at 60457.
The low 59826.
I'm sorry 59808.
And then the high 60491.
So not a whole whole whole bunch of movement but some. So there you go. You got two of the Magnificent 7. you know, they didn't fare as well as Nvidia did.
So, you know, it it is what it is. You you keep you keep moving. Right now, if you're a long-term person, you know, maybe that doesn't matter to you. That's an opportunity, maybe, right? I don't know. You have to figure that one out.
Microsoft in the red as well closed at $412.66.
Yeah. So, that's three of the seven S&P 500 big boy magnificent sevens that closed in the red today. Wasn't wouldn't wasn't spectacular.
Let's take a look at uh Google. See what Google did.
Same thing. Closed in the red today.
Yeah, closed at 38677, but did get to a high of 39433.
just couldn't hold it. No, there was no uh uh the the resistance, you feel me?
So, let's keep moving. Let's take a look at uh Tesla. Let's see what Tesla did today.
Tesla did did better.
Closed up today, $44,58 a share.
Opened up at 422.
Oh my goodness. got as high as 449.
My goodness.
What you doing over there, Elon Musk?
But boy, you are That's pretty dang on good.
Big bear little gorilla closed at $4.32 today. Opened up 415, low 407, high 442.
Can somebody say $5 a share?
I don't know, man. It looked like it's trying. The little train that could. You little train that could. It It might. I don't know. I can remember when this thing was solidly in the 60s. Now, I don't mean it'll get back there. I'm just telling you what I'm history. Go look at the history on this thing. Now, it been in the 60s. It been all the way up, I believe, $10 a share in the last 52 weeks. Now, that's my opinion. Go do the research. I'm just giving you my opinion here now. It's not financial advice. Please understand that. Tempest AI. Let's take a look at Tempest.
Opened at $49.37, low $47.75.
High $49.50, closed at 48.46. Not a very good day for 10. Not a very good day for Tim. Not a very good day for Tim. But but every day can't be the best day. You know, some days you little little little light.
Looked like to me today temp was a little light, but I know temp very well.
One of my little gorillas. So, could be an opportunity for somebody. I don't know. Research it. Figure it out. Talk to your financial advisor.
APLD, baby. Bringing this thing home, man. APLD, guys. Starting to bring this thing home.
52- week high, $46.64. 64 is the 52- week high. Today they opened at $40.38.
Low was $38.83.
The high $464.
That's your new 52- week high, baby. And it did it today. Closed at 4459.
Do you believe APLD is headed to $50 a share? Again, man, I'm no expert here.
I'm just giving you my personal opinion.
I think it is. I think it is. Let me see when the number the earnings report comes out. Let me see when the earnings report comes out.
It looks like it didn't already came out. Came out February 2026. Yeah. So, they won't have another one due until March, April, May.
Yeah. May 31, 2026 is their next one.
And that won't probably come out until June. So they've already had their February end quarter end 2026 report come out and they did pretty well. They beat on EPS.
EPS was expectation was negative 21 cents. They came in a positive 9 cents on EPS. They beat it by 14286%.
142.86%.
Revenue estimated 78 million. They came in 126 million. Beat that by 61%. So, I don't know, man. APLD might be trying to go higher. We'll have to watch it. It might be trying to go higher, though, guys. So, I don't know. Uh, put it on the watch list. I don't know. You guys got to figure that one out. But this thing is looking crazy to me, man.
Let's look at sound AI.
Sound $845. That's where it closed at.
Opened at $8.72.
Low was $8.36.
High $8.78.
Not a lot of movement for me. Uh particularly I think they had their earnings last week and they were a little bit of mixed bag. So I'm not sure where that, you know, I don't know where that puts them, but it's a little mixed bag. But again, you know, any news is good news. That's the way I look at in this thing we call the stock market if you know what you're doing, right? Any news is good news if you know what you're doing. But yeah, man, I think that's about it for me, guys. I just wanted to pop in here and give y'all my personal opinion like I do and to make sure that you guys understood that uh my two drivers, Nvidia, S&P 500. When do I believe we get a pullback? Just my uneducated guess is going to be after May 20. That's my uneducated guess. All right, man.
Appreciate y'all. Like I said, man, if you want to get yourself down in that description box or check out some of them links, I got that Mumu link up to $1,000 in Nvidia stock shares when you open a new Mumu brokerage account and make a qualifying deposit. Don't sleep on that. Go check it out. Might be something you want to fill up your financial tool belt with.
