ExxonMobil: The Oil Stock That Just Won’t Quit

And get this: Exxon’s not just resting on its laurels. No, no. They’re positioning themselves to keep delivering these leading results, which makes them a pretty compelling oil stock to buy and hold for the long term. But let’s be honest, are we really surprised? This is Exxon we’re talking about. They’re like the guy who always wins at poker, even when you’re convinced you’ve got the better hand.

Dividend Daze: Three Staples Holding the Line

Wall Street. A colony of hyperactive squirrels. Short attention spans, easily distracted by the next shiny thing. This is exquisitely good news for those of us capable of remembering what day it is, let alone thinking in *decades*. General Mills, the silent overlord of breakfast cereals and processed everything, is experiencing a mild…malaise. Sales down 2% last quarter. Cue the panic. The vultures circling. Which, naturally, pumps the dividend yield to a screaming 4.8%. SWEET.

Enter the Bad Bunny x adidas Archive

Benito has reimagined several vintage designs from adidas’ collection, starting with the Adiracer sneaker from the 2000s. This iconic shoe is shown in three distinct versions: the low-top Adiracer Low, the original Adiracer, and a collaboration with Mercedes AMG-PETRONAS called the Adiracer GT. During a photo shoot for Bad Bunny’s F1 partnership reveal, we first saw the Adiracer Low. The standard Adiracer made its debut as a tribute to Monaco, which was the original name of the high-top model. The Adiracer GT, with its layered and futuristic design, primarily features a black color scheme and incorporates elements inspired by the trio prominently displayed on the shoe’s center.

Meta’s $3 Trillion Mirage: A Skeptic’s Lament

At $1.9 trillion, Meta’s ascent appears inevitable to the optimists. Its stock, they say, needs but a 53% rise—a mere stumble in Wall Street’s casino. The prophets chant of AI-driven ads converting clicks into gold, of virtual realms where avatars dance while flesh-and-blood laborers prop up the machine. But let us not mistake the map for the territory.

The Dividend Hunter’s Lament: The Nasdaq-100 and the Weight of Growth

Valuations soar like kites untethered from earth, their strings cut by winds of speculative fervor. The Nasdaq Composite and the S&P 500, those twin towers of market triumph, have scaled heights that would make even the most ardent optimist pause. Is it still wise to entrust one’s capital to an exchange-traded fund (ETF) tracking the Nasdaq-100, or has this ascent become a perilous climb, demanding a retreat into safer havens?

Altria’s Dividend: A Smoke Screen or Solid Gold?

In the second quarter, Altria’s adjusted EPS growth and revised guidance might make one believe in miracles. Revenue net of excise taxes fell 1.7% to $5.29 billion, while EPS climbed 8.3% to $1.44. One might call this progress, but let’s not confuse a sleight of hand for a standing ovation. The elephant in the room—declining shipment volumes—remains unacknowledged, like a bureaucratic memo buried in a drawer.

Meta Platforms: A Precarious Ascent

To declare Meta a continuing ‘hot buy’ would be premature. Too many uncertainties remain. This assessment will examine the recent performance – the causes of its upward trajectory – and, more importantly, the substantial risks that linger beneath the surface, risks which the market appears, with characteristic short-sightedness, to have largely ignored.
