Dear Reader,
June 30.
Most investors think that's the target window for the historic $1.75 trillion SpaceX IPO.
But they only know half the story.
June 30 is actually the deadline for an announcement that could blow the lid off Elon's highly anticipated "Project Unlimited."
In short, what I'm calling "Project Unlimited" is Elon Musk's master plan to save the AI industry.
But here's the most important part about it …
Right now, there is one under-the-radar tech firm that is absolutely essential to Elon's new master plan. They've already shipped 5 billion critical components to SpaceX, making them the absolute linchpin of this operation.
And because SpaceX has been private for so long, this partnership has flown almost completely under the radar.
But that all ends the moment SpaceX goes public.
Once Wall Street analysts start digging into SpaceX's supply chain, I predict this behind-the-scenes partner will be front-page news on CNBC and Bloomberg.
That's why you have to position yourself before the IPO frenzy begins.
If you wait until the media connects the dots, the chance for life-changing gains could slam shut.
Click here to get the name of this "hidden" stock before the June deadline.

These 3 Insurance Stocks Made New 52-Week Highs: Still Time to Buy?
Reported by Dan Schmidt. Published: 6/7/2026.
Key Points
- Commercial property and casualty insurance premiums fell 1.2% in Q1 2026, the first quarterly decline since 2017, weighing on the broader insurance sector.
- Insurance stocks with little or no P&C exposure, including MetLife, Globe Life, and Unum Group, have outperformed the sector by focusing on life, group benefits, and supplemental health lines.
- Unum Group and Globe Life trade at steep valuation discounts of 9x and 10x forward earnings, respectively, while both companies recently raised dividends and posted solid Q1 2026 earnings results.

Defensive investing has been left in the dust by the high-flying semiconductor rally, and plenty of individual sectors are lagging the broader market.
Despite a whiplash-inducing correction following the start of the Iran war, the S&P 500 is now up about 10% year-to-date (YTD). But the rally has been narrow, and the market has become sharply divided between stocks with AI connections and those without. That leaves the insurance sector in perilous territory. However, not every insurance stock is lagging the market.
SpaceX did a 5-for-1 split before its IPO - here's why (Ad)
SpaceX just cut its share price from over $526 to roughly $105 with a 5-for-1 stock split - a move that signals massive demand ahead of a potential June 12th Nasdaq IPO.
SpaceX controls two-thirds of every satellite in orbit and dominates 85% of all rocket launches. Analyst Matt McCall - who called Tesla in 2014 and Nvidia in 2019 - says there's a way for everyday investors to take a position now, through a regular brokerage account, for less than $100, before the IPO roadshow kicks off as early as June 4th.
Watch the free presentation to learn how to get in before the roadshowIn fact, some are making new 52-week highs, largely because they’re avoiding a niche of the market that has become especially problematic: property and casualty.
A look at a pair of insurance ETFs shows how bifurcated the market has become. The iShares U.S. Insurance ETF (NYSE: IAK) is down about 2% YTD, but the Invesco KBW Property and Casualty ETF (NASDAQ: KBWP) is down more than 5% so far in 2026.
Commercial P&C pricing is the main culprit behind the divergence. According to the Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers, commercial P&C premiums fell 1.2% in Q1 2026, marking the first quarter of premium price declines since 2017. Property premiums took the biggest hit, dropping 5.8% in a “notable acceleration” from the previous two periods.
The insurance indices are heavily weighted toward large-cap P&C carriers like Progressive Corp. (NYSE: PGR), Chubb Ltd. (NYSE: CB), and Travelers Companies Inc. (NYSE: TRV), which sit in the crosshairs of the softening price cycle. But companies in the life, group benefits, and supplemental health segments are sheltered from commercial P&C price declines. As the P&C price cycle rolls over, the value and benefits industry continues to look undervalued, and that’s exactly the area we’re going to explore with our stock selections here.
The key theme when picking insurance stocks in this cycle is insulation from the commercial P&C segment. Each of the following three firms has little P&C exposure and a limited, or no, presence in the major indices.
MetLife: Diversified Compounder With Strong Dividend
MetLife Inc. (NYSE: MET) is the only insurance stock listed here with a significant weight in the indices, at about 5% of IAK’s holdings, but it can’t be blamed for the sector’s poor performance.
MET shares are up more than 17% in the last three months, driven by a broad earnings beat and a dividend increase.
In the company’s Q1 2026 results released on May 6, MetLife reported adjusted earnings of $1.6 billion and adjusted EPS of $2.42, up 18% and 23%, respectively. The company also returned more than $1 billion to shareholders through buybacks and dividends. The dividend now pays $2.37 per share annually following the raise, the 12th consecutive year of payout increases.
The stock also has momentum after finally breaking through a multi-year resistance level around $83. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) confirms the bullish trend, suggesting the breakout could have staying power.
Globe Life: Deep Value Escaping the Index Drawdown
Globe Life Inc. (NYSE: GL) focuses on life and supplemental health insurance for lower- and middle-income households.
While mid-market life and supplemental insurance aren’t high-growth industries, they do provide steady, long-duration cash flows that are not prone to cyclicality.
The company reported Q1 2026 results roughly in line with market expectations, and management raised full-year operating EPS guidance to $15.40-$15.90. No blowout report was needed here, with the stock trading at just 10x forward earnings, a steep discount to both the insurance sector (12x earnings) and the S&P 500 (22x earnings).
The chart is showing some positive technical momentum as well. Now that the RSI is firmly in bullish territory, the stock’s breakout above the 50-day moving average could prove sustainable. Former resistance areas often become support during breakouts, and the 50-day MA appears to be a new line in the sand for GL shares.
Unum Group: Low-Risk, High-Yield Employment Insurer
Unum Group (NYSE: UNM) also lacks representation in the major indices despite its steady franchise of employment-linked and group disability products, such as Colonial Life. Index providers may want to remedy that mistake, as this company may be the best bargain of the bunch.
The stock trades at just 9x forward earnings and 1.06x sales despite a 16% gain over the last three months, boosted by a top- and bottom-line Q1 2026 earnings beat. Revenue grew 8% year over year (YOY), largely due to fading risk in the long-term care segment, and management boosted the dividend for the 17th consecutive year.
A low-beta insurer with a strong dividend and a de-risking narrative is like a lightbulb for value-investing moths. The stock is in the midst of a healthy breakout, notching new all-time highs with a Golden Cross forming at the 50-day and 200-day MAs. The RSI is also cooperating, holding bullish territory without crossing the Overbought threshold. More highs are likely on the way for this under-the-radar compounding machine.
Berkshire Sells Visa, Domino's, and Pool Corp: Should You Follow?
Reported by Dan Schmidt. Published: 5/26/2026.
Key Points
- Berkshire Hathaway's first 13F under CEO Greg Abel shows the company exited 16 positions totaling $8.1 billion, its largest net equity sale since Q3 2024.
- Abel's portfolio now holds just 26 stocks with a record $397 billion cash position, signaling a view that the broader market is currently overvalued.
- Exits from Domino's Pizza and Pool Corp. reflect deteriorating fundamentals and macro headwinds, while the Visa sale appears tied to unwinding departed investor Todd Combs' book.
- Special Report: The Biggest IPO Ever: Claim Your Stake Today
The torch has officially been passed. On May 15, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) released its first Form 13F under new CEO Greg Abel, marking the first time in more than 60 years that Warren Buffett’s name didn’t appear on the ledger. Abel’s tenure began when the 95-year-old Buffett officially stepped down on Jan. 1, and the new CEO’s first 13F reveals an equity book that is slimming down and building cash. Berkshire fully exited 16 positions totaling $8.1 billion, its largest net equity sale since Q3 2024. Is this a continuation of Buffett’s value-centric approach, or a sign of a new CEO flexing his muscle? A few clues emerge when breaking down the filing.
What Greg Abel’s First Quarter as CEO Says About Berkshire’s Strategy
In many ways, Abel’s first 13F shows that Berkshire remains focused on patiently waiting for bargains. The company’s equity book now holds just 26 stocks, down from more than 40 last year, and its cash position sits at a record $397 billion. A few points stand out:
-
SpaceX did a 5-for-1 split before its IPO - here's why (Ad)
SpaceX just cut its share price from over $526 to roughly $105 with a 5-for-1 stock split - a move that signals massive demand ahead of a potential June 12th Nasdaq IPO.
SpaceX controls two-thirds of every satellite in orbit and dominates 85% of all rocket launches. Analyst Matt McCall - who called Tesla in 2014 and Nvidia in 2019 - says there's a way for everyday investors to take a position now, through a regular brokerage account, for less than $100, before the IPO roadshow kicks off as early as June 4th.
Watch the free presentation to learn how to get in before the roadshowHigher Concentration: Abel’s equity book is smaller and filled with high-conviction bets, including moving Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) into a top-seven position. Buffett was famous for avoiding expensive tech stocks, so this suggests Abel is more willing to swing big when he sees an opportunity, even if it stretches traditional value metrics.
Value Still the Overwhelming Focus: Abel deployed capital into several beaten-down stocks trading at discounts to their average value, including Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE: DAL) and Macy’s Inc. (NYSE: M). Investments like these show that valuation remains the backbone of the Berkshire portfolio.
Unwinding the Combs Book: One of Berkshire’s top investors, Todd Combs, left for JPMorgan late last year, and many of the positions closed out in Q1 had been opened by him. Closing out Combs’ book was clearly a priority for Abel, who now controls more than 90% of Berkshire’s trading.
Analyzing 3 Berkshire Stock Sales From the Latest 13F
The biggest theme emerging from Abel’s filing is that Berkshire sees the market as overvalued and is raising cash. Many of the stocks sold in Q1 no longer fit the tight valuation profile Berkshire seeks in its holdings, so capital is likely to remain in Treasuries until discounts like those in Delta or Macy’s materialize.
Visa: Strong Fundamentals Point to Likely Philosophical Exit
Visa Inc. (NYSE: V) looks like the type of company Berkshire would normally target in the current environment: it is trading below its 10-year average forward P/E following an exceptional quarter. The company reported revenue of more than $11.2 billion in fiscal Q2 2026, up 17% year over year (YOY). EPS rose 20% YOY, and both figures easily topped analysts’ estimates. Management also raised full-year revenue and EPS guidance.
Abel’s exit from Visa shares looks more like a cleanup of Combs’ equity book than a fundamental shift in thesis. The company just reported its strongest quarter in years, and the daily chart shows several bullish technical signals, including a breakout on the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator. If the price breaks resistance at the 200-day moving average, there could be further gains ahead.
Domino’s Pizza: Fundamental Growth Story Under Pressure
Here’s one case where the exit matches a company’s deteriorating fundamentals. Berkshire opened a position in Domino’s Pizza Inc. (NASDAQ: DPZ) in 2024, and the quick exit following a disappointing pair of quarters suggests a change in the individual company thesis rather than a broader strategy shift. In Q4 2025, management laid out a same-store sales goal of 3% for 2026 and guided for 2.3% in Q1. But in the numbers released during the Q1 2026 conference call on April 27, U.S. same-store sales grew just 0.9%, and international same-store sales actually declined 0.4%. CEO Russell Weiner was forced to revise Domino’s 2026 same-store sales outlook down to the low single digits amid concerns about a pullback in low-income consumer spending.
The chart also paints an ugly picture. DPZ shares are down nearly 25% so far in 2026, and there is no bottom in sight. The price has faced stiff resistance at the 50-day moving average, pushing shares lower over the past six months. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is also struggling to get out of bearish territory, so the technicals match the fundamentals at Domino’s. Abel’s decision to exit this position looks shrewd in retrospect.
Pool Corp: Housing Uncertainty Stifles Business Outlook
Pool Corp. (NASDAQ: POOL) is also facing serious headwinds, though the most prominent are beyond management’s control. The company’s growth prospects rely on a robust housing market and new construction spending, both of which have been stymied by persistent inflation and high interest rates. The Q1 2026 earnings report was solid but unspectacular, with net sales growing 6% YOY but coming in below expectations. Most of the sales growth came from price increases, and the company installed just 58,000 pools in 2025, far below the 75,000-100,000 range seen during the post-COVID-19 peak.
Until rates move lower, it's unlikely POOL shares will break out of this bearish trend. The stock has already had two failed breakouts at the 50-day moving average this year, and the MACD flashed a bearish crossover last month, hinting at more downside ahead. Macro conditions are weighing heavily on the stock, and that is a variable Abel wants out of the Berkshire portfolio.
