Leslies Inc | LESL | Long at $0.41**VERY risky trade - 25% or more risk of bankruptcy**
Leslies NASDAQ:LESL is a direct-to-consumer pool and spa care brand in the U.S., selling chemicals, equipment, and services. The stock dropped 88.86% last year due to weak demand, flat revenue, shrinking gross margins from stock write-downs, higher rent, shipping costs, and an earnings miss (-$0.25 vs. -$0.244). High debt, market share losses to e-commerce, and a competitive pool supply market also contributed.
On a positive note, the company generated $1.33 billion in revenue for fiscal year 2024. New leadership has entered the picture, cost-cutting is starting to happen, and summer season may boost pool sales. While 2025 is still projected to be a rough year, revenue is forecasted to grow 6.4% in 2026 and 2027 and earnings are likely to turn positive (based on company statements). While this is a *highly risky* play and there are absolutely better companies out there, I think there is a chance this ticker may get some steam in the near future. 7% short interest, 176 million float.
Thus, at $0.41, NASDAQ:LESL is in a personal buy zone.
Targets into 2027:
$1.00 (+143.9%)
$2.00 (+387.8%)

A BNPL Bubble Is Actually Why I'm Bullish, For NowBNPL is growing and inflating at an increasing rate. From concert tickets to burritos, everyone is using buy now pay later. The global market is projected to hit 560 billion dollars in 2025, up from around 492 billion in 2024, and climb to 912 billion by 2030 at a compounding growth rate of 10.2%. Just in the U.S. alone, demand is expected to reach 122 billion next year and scale to 184 billion by the end of the decade. The trajectory is steep, with the structural weaknesses already showing.
Block is positioned at the center of BNPL. In Q1 2025 they reported:
2.29 billion in gross profit, up 9 percent YoY
466 million in adjusted operating income, up 28%
10.3 billion in GMV through Afterpay, with 298 million in BNPL gross profit, up 23% YoY
The stock took a hit. It dropped 9 percent in February and another 21 percent after missing Q1 earnings, but this is seen as typical early bubble behavior. There is short term fear but continuing growth and acceleration. Klarna’s credit losses, IPO delays, and regulatory friction are not problems, they are actually signals that the sector is growing faster than the market, or quite frankly, anyone can control.
BNPL is becoming the default credit system for younger consumers. It is overused and expanding too fast. That is the formula for both upside and implosion. However with that, timing will be everything here, and knowing when to close will be crucial if BNPL can't stabilize.
Baseline expectation: SQ trades in the 80 to 90 range in the short term
Midterm upside: 120 by 2027
Long-term target: 180 to 220 if BNPL stabilizes and Block captures its runway
Target will hit my Targets. They are beloved by the people!Target has been re structuring there entire business after DEI was taken away.
I think they realized that going down that path is not profitable and would bankrupt them quickly if they continued.

Bullish BreakoutARB/USDT recently showed a breakout above a descending trendline from Jan 24' on the daily timeframe, suggesting bullish momentum. .43 would be a good entry off the 200 MA if we get a back test and if ETH decides to pullback or continue its run to 4000. Arbitrum has officially hits a ATH in stablecoin supply $7,900,000,000. Adoption is in full swing BTC stable I bought a good bit today on robinhood and will buy more up or down. Targets .80, 1, 1.8.
XRP | Great TP Zone is HERE for HODLERSXRP has seen a 62% increase since breaking out above the moving averages in the daily timeframe.
The previous time XRP broke out above the moving averages in the daily, the price increased around 440%:
However, with XRP being the ultimate pumper and dumper, I'll take my chances at 62%! Because this bull run has been anything but ordinary and it's best to avoid being too greedy. The price of XRP falls extremely quick, just as quick as it rises.. ( Maybe not overnight but you know, it has happened before ).
If you're one of few who bought around $1, or heck even later at $2, this is a solid increase and it should not be taken for granted. XRP has gone LONG periods without increases and often stayed behind making new ATH's when other cycles have come and gone (twice), as other alts make new ATH's. Over the years, I've made extensive posts on XRP; documented its use case, followed the SEC case closely and yet, XRP still remains one of the strangest and most unpredictable alts I have ever tried to analyze. Long term followers will remember that a I was bullish in 2018/2019 and then slowly became uninterested up until the point of negative towards XRP for probably the past 3-4 years.
This is not only because of the lagging price compared to other older alts that soared like ETH and even Litecoin. Sure we did not see the growth and the taco stand ( who remembers ) just kept dumping on the market... But the entire "scandal" of the actors marketing/pimping, the dumping behind the scenes by executives to fund Ripple in early days, the lawsuit etc. was just such a colossal mess that I even wonder how XRP is still alive and kicking today.
All I'm saying is that this is truly a spectacular moment - it's hard to even imagine cripple crossed $3 after years and years of waiting on XRP when other alts x1000% and beyond. Point being - Don't miss it! Trading only works when you take profits.

Artavion: A New Era for BNB Chain Scaling to Nasdaq-Level SpeedBNB Chain Prepares for an Infrastructure Breakthrough
As the crypto market matures, competition among blockchains goes far beyond basic functionality. In July 2025, BNB Chain — Binance’s flagship network — announced a strategic initiative to scale its infrastructure to levels comparable to Nasdaq’s trading systems. According to the development team, the goal is to enable decentralized applications (dApps) to process tens of thousands of transactions per second without compromising decentralization.
At Artavion, we view this not just as a technical upgrade, but as a systemic step toward bringing Web3 closer to the standards of traditional financial markets.
Goals and Technical Benchmarks
According to BNB Chain’s roadmap, the new architecture will feature:
Support for 20,000+ transactions per second (TPS);
Ultra-low block latency — under 0.3 seconds;
Integration of “super-instructions” — pre-optimized sets of operations for complex smart contracts;
A Rust-based client with enhanced security and scalability;
Native transaction privacy, designed for corporate and institutional use cases.
Technically, this positions BNB Chain alongside high-load fintech systems like NASDAQ MarketSite or CME Globex.
BNB Chain as the Decentralized Internet Protocol
Artavion views BNB Chain as a strong contender for Web3’s universal infrastructure layer. Today, its ecosystem hosts 3,000+ active dApps, spanning DeFi platforms, GameFi projects, NFT marketplaces, and even medical registries.
Crucially, the network remains one of the most cost-efficient and reliable in terms of transaction confirmations, making it ideal for scalable enterprise solutions.
“Nasdaq-Level Performance”: Marketing or Reality?
At first glance, the claim of reaching Nasdaq-scale speed sounds like marketing. However, Artavion considers it a realistic benchmark. Traditional exchanges process millions of orders daily in real-time, under strict reliability and latency requirements. By striving for similar characteristics, BNB Chain is positioning itself for a future where crypto assets and traditional financial instruments coexist within a unified digital ecosystem.
Business Potential and Institutional Demand
With its upcoming architecture upgrade, BNB Chain is set to become increasingly attractive not only to developers but also to institutional clients who prioritize:
Reliability and scalability;
Compatibility with existing enterprise systems;
Transparency and legal compliance.
Artavion is already observing growing interest from companies exploring smart contract integration for logistics, insurance, and digital ownership rights — all leveraging BNB Chain.
Challenges and Risks
Centralization Concerns — Binance’s control and ultra-fast finality raise questions about decentralization;
Competition from Ethereum L2s — solutions like Arbitrum and Optimism already offer comparable performance while maintaining Ethereum compatibility;
Regulatory Pressure — particularly in the U.S. and EU, where Binance’s infrastructure remains under scrutiny.
Artavion’s Conclusion
BNB Chain’s strategy to achieve Nasdaq-level performance is not just a technological race — it’s a bid to become a global platform for the digital economy. If the network succeeds in delivering this vision without sacrificing decentralization or user trust, it will gain a significant edge in attracting institutional and enterprise Web3 adoption.
Artavion will continue to monitor this roadmap and its impact on the industry. From our perspective, BNB Chain is evolving from a simple blockchain into a core infrastructure pillar of the new digital environment.
Capital Doesnt Lie - The Energy ProblemPart 1: THE ENERGY PROBLEM
Everything we do produces energy, even prayer. If you have ever felt tired after praying for someone, that's because you spent energy and made an effort; let's call that energy 'capital' . Capital begins with effort, whether you see it or not.
The problem is: how do we use it or store it?
Imagine that energy as an invisible ball growing in front of your head. Every time you work and think, you're growing that invisible energy ball of capital. So, how do you get it in your hands? You can plant a cucumber, craft a chair, or clean your house. It's your order, attention, time- all energy made visible in the house, stored in the cucumber or the chair.
Genesis 3:19
'By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread…'
Verse Comment: It doesn't say 'by luck' or 'by inheritance.' It says by sweat. That's energy. That's effort. That's the value produced.
Proverbs 14:23
'All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.'
Verse Comment: Effort always creates something. Even spiritual labor, such as intercession, leadership, and parenting, is a form of value creation.
But here's the issue. That cucumber plant? It goes bad. That chair? It breaks. That clean house? Dirty again in 24 hours."
Everything we do has a cost; it's not free. Energy fades unless you can find a way to store it longer than the life of the thing you created.
So if everything fades, the big question becomes: How do you store the surplus of your energy, (the part you don't need today) so it doesn't fade by tomorrow?"
That's the foundation of all capital. Of all value. And of all wealth. And it starts with understanding where your energy is going, and what it's pouring into.

Elevance Health | ELV | Long at $286.00What are seeing in the healthcare and health insurance provider industry right now is destruction before a once-in-a-lifetime boom. The baby boomer generation is between 60 and 79 right now and the amount of healthcare service that will be needed to serve that population is staggering. Institutions are crushing them to get in - it's just near-term noise, in my opinion. My personal strategy is buy and hold every healthcare opportunity (i.e. NYSE:CNC , NYSE:UNH , NYSE:HUM etc).
Elevance Health NYSE:ELV just dropped heavily due to lower-than-expected Q2 2025 earnings, a cut in full-year profit guidance from $34.15-$34.85 to ~$30 EPS, and elevated medical costs in Medicaid and ACA plans. It's near-term pain (may last 1-2 years) which will highly likely lead to long-term growth. The price has touched my historical simple moving average "crash" band. I would not be shocked to see the price drop further into the $260s before a rise. However, the near-term doom could go further into the year. I am anticipating another drop to the "major crash" simple moving average band into the $190s and $220s to close out the remaining price gaps on the daily chart that occurred during the COVID crash. Not to say it will absolutely reach that area, but it's locations on the chart I have for additional buys.
Thus, at $286.00, NYSE:ELV is in a personal buy zone (starter position) with more opportunities to gather shares likely near $260 before a bounce. However, if the market or healthcare industry really turns, additional buys planned for $245 and $212 for a long-term hold.
Targets into 2028:
$335.00 (+17.1%)
$386.00 (+35.0%)
BTC TREASURY Adam Back, a satoshi era OG, is launching Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (BSTR), which plans to go public through a merger with Cantor Equity Partners I (CEPO), a special-purpose acquisition company. BSTR will debut with 30,021 BTC, valued at approximately $3.5 billion, making it the fourth-largest public Bitcoin treasury. The company has secured $1.5 billion in private investment in public equity (PIPE) financing, the largest for a Bitcoin treasury SPAC merger, with CEPO contributing up to $200 million, subject to shareholder redemptions. The merger, expected to close in Q4 2025, aims to maximize Bitcoin ownership per share and accelerate adoption through Bitcoin-native financial products and advisory services. Ill be loading shares tommorrow and continuing to dca. Btc price swings will influence this heavily wind direction is currently North!
BACK TO 100Bought shares today at close new legislation is going to send this sky high. BMNR just may actually be the MSTR of ETH with the players they have. SBET BTBT COIN all will do great, but BMNR currently holds the lead for largest ETH treasury. Maybe more chop to average shares but this will be going SOON. As long as the daily RSI is above 50, we should be holding local support until breakout of this is accumulation zone.
Coca Cola to protect my portfolio and help it growOne of the most important things we must try to determine as investors is what company is the best at what they do in their field. In my opinion Coca Cola is and has always been the number one soft drink manufacturer, always finding new yet subtle ways to stay ahead of their competition.
The reason I have allocated a decent amount of my portfolio to Coca Cola is a combination between their reliable track record of creating value, and paying dividends. People love junk food so it gives me high conviction to hold the stock long term. The company also demonstrates consistent, and reliable methods of generating organic revenue, and constantly finding new ways to cut costs and improve their profit margins.
Despite what some other critics may claim about the stock being over valued, the intrinsic value of the stock happens to be $77 with a range between $48-$180. According to technical analysis it is over valued. I have too much respect for Coca Cola to trust technical analysis in my decision to hold the stock, I am rely solely on fundamentals. According to my perspective on the company it is in fact undervalued.
Another positive catalyst I have noticed was when President Trump said he thinks Coca Cola should be made with cane sugar in the US, I think that would be a great idea, not only would it be healthier the soda would also taste better. Coca Cola looks like its going to stay ahead of the game for the foreseeable future.
Waste Management confluencesFirst of all fundamentally the company is basically essential to our survival so I have no reason to believe they will go out of business any time soon. Earnings report soon should bring about some volatility. I was foolish enough to buy the top a couple months ago and deciding today I will add the the position because I like this price. Even though I bought the top, it was still below the intrinsic value at the time so it was a reasonable decision.
With my simple trendline and rudimentary use of a Fibonacci I am able to set a price target of $260 depicted by my drawing of a potential new leg up. This is backed up by the absolutely fundamental usage of a calculation of the intrinsic value, which by my calculation is $280, and has a range between $170-$640 however these numbers may need to be adjusted after the earnings report. The value is now well below the intrinsic value so I am seeing this stock as a really good deal now.
Despite any uncertainty in the economy Waste Management has seemed to outperform during these times so it is in my portfolio defensively. This stock is strong when it needs to be, which is why I like it.
MicroCap Rare Earth Play in CanadaToo much to say about this other than more cash than market cap, Offtake Agreements and Collaboration with Teck Resources and Tanco Mine with Rising Metal Prices including huge reserves of Cesium, Lithium, PGM, Nickel, Copper... everything needed for electrification and AI transition in North America.

Ethereum's Road to $7500 – Strategic Entries & Profit Optimizati🔵 Entry Zone: My first position is placed at $2225.5, aligning with a strong support level, while a secondary entry at $1857.5 serves as an additional safeguard against unexpected market swings—lowering my average purchase price and protecting capital.
💰 Profit-Taking Strategy: For low-risk traders, securing a 40% profit from the first entry is a prudent move to lock in gains early. However, my long-term target remains ambitious.
🚀 Main Target: Based on valuation models and fundamental news, Ethereum’s upside potential points toward $7500. However, I personally plan to secure 90% of my holdings at $6000, ensuring strong profit realization while leaving room for further upside.
This setup balances risk management, smart positioning, and strategic profit optimization. Let’s see how ETH’s trajectory unfolds!
Entry1: 2225.5
Entry 2: 1857.5
If your second entry is successful, you are required to withdraw 50 to 70 percent of your capital to maintain your capital. I will definitely update this setup.

Nucor | NUE | Long at $120.17Nucor NYSE:NUE , a US manufacture of steel and steel products, will likely capitalize on reduced foreign competition as tariffs become reality. The CEO also recently stated that the steelmaker's order backlog is the largest in its history and is increasing prices. So, while there is a potential for short-term downside as tariff "unknowns" are negotiated, the longer-term upside may be there for those who are patient... but time will tell.
Basic Fundamentals:
Current P/E: 21x

Debt-to-Equity: 0.4x (healthy)
Dividend Yield: 1.8%
Technical Analysis:
Riding below the historical simple moving average and there is risk the daily price gap near $109 will close before moving higher. If there is a "crash" in price, $70s is absolutely possible which will be a "steel" if fundamentals do not change.
