He sees recession risk, but says we’ve been expecting one for around nine months, and forecasts a rate cut in June or July. “Even an indication” that Powell will be more flexible could be enough for small or mid cap strength, he argues. ======== Schwab Network ======== E...

Kim Forrest believes Palantir (PLTR) may be a victim of its own success. The rising A.I. software company posted 55% revenue increase year-over-year that includes extensive commercial growth, but European sales lagged. Kim believes that red mark, mixed with a triple-digit P/E ratio, led to a sell-off in its stock. That said, she admires the "zigging and zagging" paths the company has tak...
