👋 Hey there, Tech Fizz here.

If you feel like your paycheck doesn't go as far as it used to, you're not alone.

Americans were asked in a recent survey how they view capitalism.

Keep reading to see the results of the survey.

What we've got in this edition:

• 🚨 Market News Highlights.
• 💬 AI Prompt. Developing a passive income strategy.
• ⁉️ Oracle stock. Revenue and EPS expectations miss but stock soared 36%. What's going on?

MARKET RADAR

🤬 A new Gallup poll shows that 54% of Americans view capitalism favorably, down from 60% in 2021. This goes hand-in-hand with the fact that only 25% of Americans believe the American Dream still exists. Are we officially living through late-stage capitalism or is this just a rough patch?

💼 The US economy produced 911,000 fewer jobs between March 2024 and March 2025 than was previously thought. This was the largest downward revision on record and has brought into question the BLS's data collection methods.

💬 The FTC ordered Alphabet, Meta, OpenAI, and others to disclose measures protecting young users. This comes after a Meta policy document was found to allow the company's AI models to “engage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual". Kinda creepy, right?

⛓️ Nasdaq pushes to launch trading of tokenized stocks. Crypto and blockchain is cool and all, but is this really necessary? Many of the benefits from tokenizing stocks already exist, namely fractional shares, commission-free trading, and after-hours trading.

🤖 As of the second and third week of August, AI adoption in businesses with more than 250 employees had dropped to 9% from a 15% peak in the first two weeks of June. Has the great AI reversal already begun? Probably too early to tell. But if this trend continues, we expect AI funding and investor sentiment to start tapering off.

AI PROMPT

Interest rates are coming down next week, so say goodbye to that 4-5% APY on your HYSA (high-yield savings account).

The lowering of interest rates is typically bullish for assets like stocks and crypto, so let's leverage AI to develop a passive income strategy:

SMART MONEY TRACKER

Something weird happened last week.

Oracle, the cloud services company, reported earnings on September 9th.

It missed both revenue and EPS expectations.

But its stock soared 36% and trading volume skyrocketed to 1.43M (from just 116k the previous day).

The "official" narrative is that institutional investors piled on because the company has a lot of high-value AI contracts in the pipeline.

Maybe that's really the reason. But maybe there's something they're not telling us.

Either way, this stock is worth paying attention to. Especially since the on-balance volume momentum indicator is showing a steady increase in buying pressure over the last year.
