I'm an amateur investor sharing my experience of what I've learned, where I have had success, and where I've had failures. I share my thoughts on investing and performance with transparency. My approach and goal to investing is to buy high-quality long-term investments in world-class businesses that I call "compounders". I view my investments as businesses, not as stocks. Before creating content on YouTube full time I worked as a senior-level programmer for 8 years. Over the years as a programmer, I compounded my knowledge of development. I take the same iterative learning approach to my study of investing. I study investing as a craft in the continual pursuit of being better. I will make mistakes in investment decisions from time to time. Results are not guaranteed. Please do not blindly follow me into any investments, and make sure your portfolio and investments are built around your specific income, risk tolerance, personality, timeline, and overall circumstances. Today on the Joseph Carlson show, we've had a massive market rally over the past couple of days. My portfolio is up around $65,000 in just two days. I'll be showing you what's going on, what stocks are surging, and the reason why. We also have this debate going on, the debate over Iran. The video that I made two days ago has over 1,000 comments, the overwhelming majority of them are vastly negative on the situation, people explaining how dire it is, how the market's going to fall further. We also have people like Mohammad El-Erian on this train as well. He went on to CNBC a day ago and had a viral interview where he explained how bad the situation is. This, of course, makes investing very difficult when you believe we're going down a bad path, but we're going to be looking at it. We'll be going over the situation in this video as well. We also have an interview with Warren Buffett. He appeared on CNBC to give his thoughts on the current market, and then we have another fail of the week, which in this case is a study conducted by LendingTree. This was a study that was cited on The View by Sunny. It says that basically kids are unaffordable. You have to make, in fact, $400,000 to afford having kids, to be able to actually pay for them and live comfortably. We'll be going over this study and the reason that it's the fail of the week. Now, before we jump in, just a mention, we have companies like Netflix always raising prices. We have FICO raising prices. We have fast food raising prices. You know what's not raising prices? Qualtrim. It's the same price that it's been for years. It's $10 a month with a seven-day free trial, or you can try out the annual plan for only $99 per year. Qualtrim is easy to use. It makes investing fun. You can click on any company. You can see tons of information about it. The whole focus of Qualtrim is to give you clean, consistent signal without all the noise. So try it out today, risk-free. You get a seven-day free trial before paying a dime. I think you'll love it. Now, yesterday, we had one of the biggest rallies that I've seen. Overall, the indices were blindingly green. It was just a vibrant green across the board. Almost every company was in the green. In fact, if we look at how my stocks are trading, we can look at the past five days here. We have Meta that's up 8.29% in five days. Meta went from a massive loser, like minus $40,000, now to minus $26,000. That happened in two days. Now, I'm still in the red on this one, so I'm not out of the weeds yet, but this is a massive move in the right direction. Like I've reemphasized many times, I think every buy that I've done of Meta so far will end up being a good buy. I think eventually all of them will go back into the green. Meta is the single biggest contributor to my recovery over the past couple of days. When we look at Google, even Google's up 6.45% in the past five days. Google's up to $40,000 of gains in the passive income portfolio. In the story fund, we have $41,000 of gains. So roughly 80 between the two. Really good days for Google. Then we have ASML up 5%. ASML is such an absolute beast of a company. It really is incredible what they're doing. It has no one else that's really competing at the level that they're at. This one is a $120,000 position, $57,000 in the green. And then we have many other. S&P Global up 4%, Amazon up 3%, Microsoft up 3%, Moody's up 2.5%, and so on. So this was a massive two-day surge. And my portfolio alone, this is around $65,000 of gains in just the past couple of days. But what happened? What caused this? Has anything meaningfully changed in the news? President Trump said that the U.S. was set to leave Iran in two to three weeks and that it doesn't need a deal for that to happen. And he is set to give an important update later tonight. So the reason that investors are clamoring back into the markets today and rebuying all the companies they just sold was because the president said something. He said that the war might end in a couple of weeks, which would, of course, be good news for the markets. But we look at this and we see that not everyone's convinced. We have people now brought on to CNBC like Mohammed El-Erian. Mohammed is a chief economic advisor. CNBC typically brings him on when things are going bad, when things are happening. And he gives his take on the outlook. And this video, like many of them that are striking and bearish and concerning, it went viral. It has over 100,000 views. Let's go ahead and just take a listen to his predictions. All these tipping points that are being triggered in the war. I must say I'm more worried than the average. I'm more worried than the average because of the dynamics of the war. It's an asymmetrical war. You have three parties, now four parties, all of whom believe they're winning, which makes it very hard to end this war. And the U.S. is the only one that can declare victory but can't impose outcomes. And I also look at the economy and I'm star

Source proof
Source proof: Strong source proof | 3 directional assets | 1 supporting author | 1 successful tracked leg | headline-like title review
Primary inputs are multiple short-form analyses and commentaries: a 5-year portfolio concept favoring sellers into AI scarcity (ASML, foundry and HBM suppliers); headline-driven pieces with insufficient IPO detail; reports of large investors adding AI/quality compounders (notably Alphabet); and several earnings- and positioning-focused commentaries that together explain a near-term rotation into megacap AI/cloud names.
The source is a lightly edited transcript about buying “undervalued” stocks within a core/satellite portfolio. It explicitly calls out several large-cap tickers with mostly “buy” ratings (ASML, SPGI, MA, TXRH, plus mentions of MSFT/AMZN as buy candidates depending on entry), and one explicit non-buy due to valuation (COST). Actionability is moderate because it lacks specific catalysts, price levels, or timing rules beyond “lower end of 52-week range/valuation range.”
The source contains only the title/body phrase “Google Is Fooling Everyone” with no supporting details, catalysts, timeframe, or specific claims. It is not actionable as-is.
The source lays out a 5-year portfolio concept focused on “sellers into AI scarcity” (semicap equipment, foundry capacity, HBM memory) versus “buyers of AI.” It argues scarcity-phase suppliers have the best near/mid-term setup, with ASML positioned as a more “durable seller” due to long-lived tool installs. Mentions owning ASML and cites TSMC, Nvidia ecosystem demand, and HBM suppliers (Micron, SK Hynix).
The source provides only a title/body (“This Is The Craziest IPO Ever”) with no details on the company, ticker, exchange, valuation, sector, timing, or deal terms. There is insufficient information to form a specific, tradable thesis or identify affected tickers.

The source is a garbled stock-pick/long-term-compounding pitch arguing that a handful of dominant platform companies are worth buying today. Clear actionable names are Alphabet/Google, Amazon, and Uber. The cited positives are YouTube/YouTube TV gaining TV watch-time share, Google Cloud growth/backlog, AWS scale and cloud/AI momentum, and Uber’s 18% trailing revenue growth plus accelerating buybacks. The source is moderately actionable as a directional long-term idea list, but it lacks valuation, exact prices, timing, and complete details for all seven companies.
The item only states that an unnamed “best investor in the world” sold Microsoft, with no source, filing date, position size, valuation rationale, or confirmation. This is a very low-actionability sentiment headline. The only clearly implicated tradable ticker is Microsoft (MSFT), potentially negatively affected if the sale is confirmed and perceived as meaningful.
Garbled transcript of a bullish investment commentary arguing that analysts underestimated Alphabet/Google. The speaker cites recurring earnings evidence, YouTube’s strength on TV, Google Cloud backlog/RPO growth, and broader hyperscaler revenue acceleration as validation that AI/cloud capex is producing revenue. Amazon/AWS and Microsoft are also mentioned positively, though Microsoft’s higher forward P/E is framed as less attractive than cheaper peers. Actionability is moderate-low because the source lacks clean figures, dates, entry levels, and risk controls.

Synthesis draws from several short analyses and commentary pieces (titles listed in related sources). One long-form video transcript from a retail commentator (Joseph Carlson show) documents portfolio-level gains and links the rally to geopolitical comments and broad buying across mega-cap names.
