Tesla has teased it for years, and now the world may finally be on the verge of seeing it hit the streets: Robotaxi. No steering wheels. No pedals. Full autonomy. If Tesla delivers on this vision, we’re not just talking about a product — we’re talking about the foundation of a trillion-dollar industry. Could this be the spark that ignites Tesla’s next breakout? 🚗 Why Robotaxi Is a Game Changer Robotaxi isn’t just another EV. It represents a completely new business model: transportation-as-a-service. Instead of just selling cars, Tesla could start earning recurring revenue from autonomous rides, tapping into markets currently dominated by Uber and Lyft — but without human drivers. If even a fraction of Tesla’s fleet becomes self-driving, it could unlock: Massive margins from software-based
After months of doubt, the bull has returned. Markets are rebounding strongly — tech is leading, risk appetite is rising, and retail traders are back in action. The S&P 500 is hovering near all-time highs again, and Nasdaq is charging forward like 2020 never ended.

That’s keeping hopes alive for rate cuts by the Fed later this year. Resilient earnings: Corporate profits, especially from big tech and AI-linked names, have stayed strong. AI momentum: Companies like Nvidia, Microsoft, and Apple are injecting tech stocks with another leg of growth through artificial intelligence. Retail a

Outbreak of the Israel-Iran Conflict: Crude Oil Price Surge May Exceed Expectations
During last week's livestream, I highlighted the significant opportunities present in the crude oil market. The very next morning, news broke that Israel had launched a fierce attack on Iran.
