๐Ÿซง The American Dream is Dead ๐Ÿ˜ต

Hey there, Tech Fizz here.

โ€‹

Remember how in last week's newsletter we said that the unemployment rate among 23 to 27 year olds is 4.59%?

โ€‹

Well that number happens to be even worse for 16 to 24 year olds...10.5%!

โ€‹

While that's happening, a high-frequency trading firm by the name of XTX Markets just posted a job opening for an AI Research Intern with a salary of $35,000 per month ($420,000 per year).

โ€‹

The duality of the job market is in full display.

โ€‹

What we've got in this edition:

  • ๐Ÿšจ Market News Highlights.
  • ๐Ÿ’ฌ AI Prompt. How will an interest rate cut affect the stock market?
  • ๐Ÿ’ต Cathie Wood's ARK Investment Fund. Which stock positions is Cathie Wood accumulating vs trimming down?

MARKET RADAR

โ€‹

๐Ÿ”ฎ Polymarket, the world's biggest prediction market, will launch in the U.S. after being granted CFTC approval. The platform will have to compete with Kalshi, another prediction market that has already been operating in the U.S. since July 2021.

โ€‹

๐Ÿ—ƒ๏ธ Klarna, Figure, and Gemini filed for U.S. IPOs. All three are going public next week, but not all are profitable. Btw, if you request pre-IPO shares, you can't sell for 30 days or more. Otherwise, you'll be blocked from participating in IPOs for 60 days.

โ€‹

๐Ÿ˜ฐ American Dream Crumbles as Only 25% Believe Hard Work Improves Living Standards. This sounds about right. Wages haven't kept up with living expenses since the 70's and home ownership is out of reach for most young people.

โ€‹

๐Ÿ“‰ Over the past 45 years, September has been the only month when the S&P 500 Index has averaged a loss. If your portfolio takes a hit this month, don't panic. Ride it out and trust the process (buy and hold).

โ€‹

๐Ÿ’ผ Private employers added a measly 54,000 jobs in August, far below expectations of 75,000. At this point, a rate cut is definitely coming. And it might even be 50 basis points (0.5%). Let's hope the Fed doesn't overdo it, though. Otherwise, a dozen eggs will end up costing an arm and a leg.

AI PROMPT

โ€‹

Since there's a 99% chance that a rate cut is coming soon, let's investigate how this move by the Fed would affect the stock market (particularly growth tech stocks like Apple, Microsoft, Google, etc.).

โ€‹

For this week's AI prompt, we're implementing the RACE prompt engineering framework (Role, Action, Context, Explanation).

โ€‹

(We recommend using Perplexity for finance/investing prompts)

โ€‹

โ€‹

#Role:
You are an experienced financial analyst with specialized knowledge in macroeconomic policy and growth investing.
#Action:
Your task is to provide an analysis of current macroeconomic conditions and how an interest rate cut would affect the stock market as a whole and the Magnificent Seven stocks.
#Context:
In your analysis, consider only the U.S. stock market. Assume that an interest rate cut will happen on September 17, 2025.
โ€‹
#Explanation:
Limit your analysis to 500 words and avoid using complicated economic terms. Provide a scenario in which the interest rate is cut by 25 basis points and a scenario in which it is cut by 50 basis points.

In case you didn't know, the point of this holiday is to celebrate American (labor) workers, but the labor market hasn't been so hot lately (especially for recent college graduates). According to the FED, young college graduates between ages 23 and 27 are experiencing unemployment rates that average 4.59% in 2025 (this number was 3.25% in 2019).
