For the past couple of decades, the so-called "American Dream" has followed a pretty linear pathway. You finish high school, go to a four-year university, and then graduate straight into a corporate office that comes with a slick 401(k).
That bachelor's degree was the golden ticket that made everything possible, and your parents probably told you that earning a diploma was critical to your success, right? Well, new labor market data has turned that decades-old playbook upside down.

I'll admit that like many economists and market commentators, I have warned about more market calamities than have actually come to pass. I'll say this in my defense:
If you ignore risk, you take your chances with what the market does next. If you always seek to account for risk, you can ride the highs without being pummeled by all the lows. Over time, that's a more gratifying investment experience.

Just over a year ago, investors largely viewed IREN (IREN) as a bitcoin mining company. Today, the company supplies AI infrastructure to Microsoft (MSFT) and signs billion-dollar contracts with some of the biggest names in the AI market, including Nvidia (NVDA) and Dell Technologies (DELL). These developments provide evidence that IREN's shift toward AI infrastructure is translating into actual business activity, and the market has responded strongly to that progress. IREN shares have been rewarded with two strong moves over the last two months.
IREN's AI transformation centers on a major five-year agreement with Microsoft. The company entered into a $9.7 billion cloud services agreement with Microsoft, with 20% of the contract value paid upfront. Once fully commissioned, the deal is expected to generate nearly $1.94 billion in annualized run-rate revenue. That gives IREN a significant source of contracted business as it builds out its AI cloud operations.

Risk management is my number one priority. As I see it, you can't get where you want to be as an investor if you don't control the risk you take.
That ranges from the use of cash, incorporation of hedging techniques, and a whole lot more. Here, I want to draw your attention to one of the less research intensive aspects of risk management.

On the Sept. 3, 2026 episode of The Ramsey Show, a Houston caller named Nathan asked whether he should use his savings to clear a mortgage he described as a "whatever, 2% mortgage or something." He had about $280,000 left on it and roughly $346,000 in liquid ******* ets, most of it cash and the rest in a taxable brokerage account. Dave Ramsey told him to do it, and to do it that night.
Five months earlier, Ramsey had told a caller in almost the same position the opposite. On April 1, 2026, a web engineer earning around $600,000 a year called in about three weeks after being laid off, sitting on enough cash to clear a San Francisco, California mortgage. "When you're in the middle of a storm, you do temporary things," Ramsey said. "Hold on to the cash. We're not gonna pay off the house because we may not be staying in the house."

Semiconductor rivalries rarely move stock prices the way headlines suggest they should. MediaTek unveiled a new flagship smartphone processor on Tuesday, Sept. 15, built to challenge Qualcomm directly in the premium handset market.
Qualcomm Inc (QCOM)'s stock rose anyway, closing up 4.25% at $187.80.
That is not a new pattern. MediaTek's market value first surpassed Qualcomm's earlier this year, according to Reuters. The new chip was meant to widen that lead, not just defend it.
The gap is real money. MediaTek's market capitalization stood near $223 billion on Sept. 15, PitchBook noted. Even after Qualcomm's 4.25% rally that same day, its market cap reached $200.6 billion, according to CompaniesMarketCap, leaving it about $22 billion behind MediaTek.
MediaTek said the Dimensity 9600 Pro is its first mobile processor built on TSMC's 2-nanometer process. Its neural processing unit delivers 51% faster prompt handling for on-device AI models than the prior generation. That lets phones run generative AI tasks without sending data to the cloud.

Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) could be one of the biggest beneficiaries of Anthropic's accelerating compute requirements. The opportunity comes amid growing concerns that Google's decision to develop more of its chips internally could threaten Broadcom's custom silicon business.
However, Macquarie ****** yst Arthur Lai argued on September 3 that many of these concerns may already be priced in. The stock is down by about 24% from its all-time high, while Google's work with MediaTek and its expanding relationship with Marvell have added to concerns about Broadcom losing share in future TPU programs.
According to Lai, the recent weakness could create an attractive entry point as Broadcom positions itself to capture what could become a $40 billion opportunity from Anthropic.
In April, Anthropic announced an expanded partnership with Google and Broadcom to secure next-generation TPU capacity. Anthropic plans to use its computing infrastructure to accelerate training and inference for its Claude family of artificial intelligence models as demand for AI applications continues to grow.
The partnership could provide Broadcom with an important avenue for expanding its custom AI semiconductor business. The company has also been expanding its AI infrastructure capabilities through partnerships with major financial institutions. Together with Apollo and Blackstone, it launched an AI XPV platform designed to support more than 20 gigawatts of compute capacity.

Semiconductor industry leader Nvidia Corporation (NVDA) has expanded its collaboration with Taiwanese fabless semiconductor company MediaTek to co-develop next-gen AI computing platforms.
The centerpiece of this expanded partnership is MediaTek's adoption of Nvidia's NVLink Fusion interconnect. This lets MediaTek's customers design custom AI accelerators (XPUs) that plug into Nvidia's rack-scale AI factories. To show its commitment, Nvidia has also invested $3.5 billion in convertible bonds issued by MediaTek, giving the company the capital needed to develop these NVLink-supported chips.

Chinese electric vehicle (EV) stocks are having a rough ride this year amid the slowdown in the country's auto market, which is the biggest in the world by a fairly wide margin. Among the listed names, Nio (NIO) and XPeng Motors (XPEV) hit their 52-week lows yesterday, Sept. 2. Li Auto (LI) is also not very far from 52-week lows as investors have shunned Chinese EV stocks this year.
Notably, Nio stood out among peers this year, but pessimism toward Chinese EV stocks has caught up of late, and NIO stock has lost nearly a quarter of its market cap, with a drawdown from the 2026 peak of nearly 45%. Let's ******* yze Nio's recent slump and examine whether the dip is a buying opportunity.

Rivian Automotive (RIVN) has had a ***** py 2026, and the company now faces another question mark. CFO Claire McDonough, who helped guide Rivian Automotive through its $13.7 billion initial public offering (IPO) and build its financial foundation, will step down on Oct. 30, 2026. McDonough is reportedly leaving for a new opportunity on the East Coast. Rivian expects Vice President of Finance Derek Mulvey to serve as interim CFO while the company looks for a permanent replacement, both internally and externally.
Investors reacted quickly to the news. RIVN stock fell 6% in the session after the announcement. Still, the stock has made plenty moves of more than 5% over the past year, so sharp swings are nothing new for Rivian. The selloff shows that investors are taking the CFO change seriously, but it does not necessarily mean the company's broader story has changed.

On Aug. 30, Elon Musk tweeted that ***** eX (SPCX) will start casting its own gas turbine blades and vanes at a foundry in Texas. And when the richest man in the world makes a statement, the world takes notice. The market worried about the impact this could have on Howmet Aerospace (HWM), and its stock fell roughly 8% in a single trading session. The blades Musk wrote about sit in the hottest part of a turbine, and they are one of the main bottlenecks slowing down new power plants. Musk said building them in-house could bring turbines online up to 18 months sooner, feeding the power needs of ***** eX's AI data centers. Investors heard "new competitor" and sold. In my opinion, that may have been an overreaction.
The only reason ***** eX has to build its own foundry is that Howmet and the firms like it are sold out. Just four companies in the world cast these blades at scale, and together they control around 70% to 80% of the market. So several ***** ysts read the news as a sign of strength. Bernstein, which had lifted its price target to $328 just days earlier, called the selloff a buying opportunity. Citi and Jefferies pushed back too.
