A live MarketBeat Monday stream where the hosts mostly work through viewer-submitted tickers and a few macro headlines. The main near-term focus is inflation data, a coming SpaceX IPO, and whether recent weakness in tech and quantum names is just a pullback or the start of something more serious. A lot of the video is a fast-moving stock-by-stock screen, with repeated emphasis on data-center, AI, and infrastructure names.

This is a live, viewer-driven market show rather than a single-thesis pitch. The hosts open with a macro read: the market bounced after a selloff that they view as unsurprising because the market had been up nine straight weeks, and they expect the next key catalysts to be CPI and PPI. One speaker argues CPI may come in hotter than the prior month and says the real question is whether inflation is continuing to heat up. The biggest event discussed is the expected SpaceX IPO on Thursday. Thomas calls it a “massive market event” and even an “historical event,” but says the valuation is so extreme that the stock is likely to open and sell off hard, with “wicked volatility” and a long path before early investors see gains. …
Near term, the market looks event-driven: CPI/PPI and the SpaceX IPO are the biggest tape-moving catalysts, while high-beta tech and space-linked names remain vulnerable to sharp swings if the data comes in hot or the IPO is poorly received.
Over the next several weeks, the cleaner trades are the ones with visible backlog or earnings support in AI infrastructure, power, and cybersecurity; names that only have a story but no execution are likely to keep chopping around.
Structurally, the video argues we are still in an AI infrastructure and electrification regime, where the durable winners are likely to be power suppliers, chip suppliers, fiber/network companies, and security layers rather than pure speculative narratives.
The market’s recent selloff was not surprising because it had already rallied for nine straight weeks, and any bad news could trigger a pullback.
Host frames the drawdown as a normal reaction to extended gains rather than a structural break.
CPI and PPI are the key catalysts this week, and CPI may print hotter than last month if inflation is still re-accelerating.
The speaker explicitly ties the immediate macro focus to inflation prints and expects a hotter reading.
The SpaceX IPO is expected to be a major event, but the valuation is so high that the stock will likely open and sell off hard.
Thomas gives a strongly bearish near-term take on the IPO's post-listing price action.
What do you expect with the SpaceX IPO happening this week? Will it be a massive market event or a non-event?
Thomas expects the SpaceX IPO to be a massive historical event, but with a negative connotation because the valuation is extremely high. He thinks the stock has nowhere to go but down once it opens, predicting a massive down day or wicked volatility for a few days before it can rebuild traction and initial investors see gains again.
Do you expect Oracle to sell off after earnings this week, similar to what happened with Broadcom?
Thomas thinks Oracle will deliver a really good solid report. The market might hang up on the lagging nature of backlog growth, but the backlog represents the real long-term opportunity as Oracle converts debt-funded data center builds into revenue starting next year. He believes the report will affirm and strengthen the market, and while there could be a pullback, Oracle will find support around the 200 region and eventually set all-time highs, possibly before year-end.
What's going on with Walmart stock? Any catalysts or economic factors that will impact it?
Thomas says Walmart had a top earlier this year and pulled back, but stabilized around the 150-day moving average since the last earnings report. The uptrend is intact. Walmart's strength is its everyday low prices and it has been taking market share, especially post-pandemic, as inflation pressures people to trade down and look for deals. He expects Walmart will eventually set a new high over time.
