  • Amazon Inc (AMZN) is up 32.53% since March 29th, 2026, amid investor worries over high AI-related capital expenditures and slower margin expansion), driven mainly by a sharp positive shift in sentiment around its cloud business. The key catalyst was CEO Andy Jassy’s annual shareholder letter released on April 9, 2026, which disclosed that AWS’s AI services had reached an annualized revenue run rate of more than $15 billion in Q1 2026 — representing roughly 10% of AWS’s overall $142 billion run rate and growing rapidly — while the company’s custom chip business (including Trainium, Graviton, and Nitro) hit a $20+ billion annualized run rate with triple-digit year-over-year growth. This concrete evidence that massive AI investments (including the planned $200 billion in 2026 capex) were already translating into real revenue helped ease spending concerns, triggered analyst upgrades, and sparked multiple expansion as investors rotated back into high-growth tech names. Additional support came from easing geopolitical tensions, new partnerships, and broader market recovery in the sector.
 
  • Apple (AAPL) is up 13.93% since April 24th, 2026, primarily driven by its strong fiscal Q2 2026 earnings reported on April 30. The company delivered record results with revenue up 17% year-over-year to $111.2 billion, iPhone revenue surging 22% on robust iPhone 17 demand, and Services hitting an all-time high of nearly $31 billion with 76.7% gross margins. Investors also cheered the announcement of a massive $100 billion share buyback program and a dividend increase, reinforcing confidence in Apple’s capital returns and growth trajectory. This positive momentum, combined with ongoing optimism around upcoming iOS software updates, AI enhancements (including Siri improvements), new hardware like curved displays, and a technical breakout to all-time highs, has fueled sustained buying and pushed the stock to fresh record levels in mid-May.
 
  • Eli Lilly (LLY) is up 31.65% since October 19th, 2025,  primarily driven by explosive growth in its blockbuster GLP-1 weight-loss and diabetes drugs, Mounjaro and Zepbound. Strong quarterly earnings throughout late 2025 and early 2026, with revenue often beating expectations by double digits (e.g., 54%+ growth in several quarters), massive volume increases, and positive pipeline updates—including successful Phase 3 results and FDA progress on the oral GLP-1 pill orforglipron (Foundayo)—fueled investor enthusiasm. Additional tailwinds came from favorable drug-pricing discussions with the Trump administration that reduced regulatory uncertainty, market share gains against Novo Nordisk, and the stock briefly surpassing $1 trillion market cap in late 2025. Sustained demand for obesity treatments, raised full-year guidance, and broader pipeline momentum in other areas have kept the upward momentum intact into mid-2026.

CEO Weekly Letter

Dear Fellow Investors,

Eight consecutive weeks of gains for the S&P 500. The longest weekly winning streak since late 2023. The Dow rose 2.1%. The Nasdaq added 0.5%, notching its seventh advance in the past eight weeks.

But the number that defined this week had nothing to do with an index. It was 147%.

That is what DELL has returned since the I Know First algorithm identified it as a high-conviction opportunity three months ago. On Friday alone, Dell jumped 17%. And it was not the only name on our forecast list that moved decisively this week.

The DELL Story - 147% in 3 Months. 21% in 7 Days. 17% on Friday.

Three months ago, the I Know First algorithm identified Dell Technologies as a high-conviction long position within its implied volatility package. At that point, the broader market had not yet recognized the structural opportunity in Dell's AI infrastructure positioning. The signal was issued. The forecast was distributed. Subscribers were positioned.

Since that signal, DELL has returned 147.77%.

View the 3-Month Implied Volatility Forecast That Identified DELL

Then, one week ago, the algorithm flagged DELL again - this time within its hedge fund stocks neural network package. Since that 7-day signal was issued, DELL has returned an additional 21.98%. On Friday alone, the stock surged 17%.

View the 7-Day Hedge Fund Stocks Forecast That Flagged DELL Again

Two signals. Three months apart. Both correct. Both published before the moves they anticipated. This is the defining characteristic of the I Know First system - not a single lucky call but a sustained, multi-horizon conviction that compounds over time.

ARM - 50% Last Week. 146% Since the 3-Month Signal. 189% in the Options Package.

The ARM story mirrors the DELL story in almost every structural respect - and in some respects exceeds it.

Three months ago, the algorithm identified ARM Holdings as a high-conviction long within its megacap deep learning package - before the stock's subsequent 146% run.

View the 3-Month Megacap Deep Learning Forecast That Identified ARM

One month ago, the algorithm flagged ARM again within its self-learning options package. MXL was the top performer in that forecast with a return of 189.52% - a forecast our team also shared live during our most recent webinar, where subscribers saw the signal in real time before the move accelerated.

View the 1-Month Self-Learning Options Forecast

Watch the Live Webinar Moment Where MXL Was Identified

This past week, ARM advanced nearly 50% - a move that, for subscribers who had acted on either the 3-month or 1-month signal, represented a further confirmation of a thesis the algorithm had been building for months.

Friday's Standout Moves
HYLN - +42% on Friday


View the Deep Learning 3-Day Options Forecast

HYLN surged 42.62% on Friday from a 3-day deep learning options signal. A 42% single-session return from a published algorithmic forecast - in a market week that was already one of the strongest of the year.

NVTS and ASTS - +27.23% and +18.17% Since the Forecast. +19.98% and +10% on Friday.
View the Implied Volatility Machine Learning 3-Day Forecast

NVTS gained 19.98% on Friday and 27.23% since the forecast was issued. ASTS added 10% on Friday and 18.17% since the signal. Both names identified within the same 3-day implied volatility package - both confirmed within the forecast window.

3-Month Implied Volatility Package - AXTI +374.5%, Package Average +69.95%
View the 3-Month Self-Learning Implied Volatility Forecast

The 3-month implied volatility self-learning package achieved 8 out of 10 correct directional predictions. AXTI generated a return of 374.5% over the forecast period. HUT followed with 96.77% and ATEX contributed 76.98%. The overall package average return of 69.95% represents a market premium of 61.79 percentage points over the S&P 500's return of 8.16% during the same period.

374.5%. From a published, timestamped signal. In three months. AXTI has now appeared at the top of I Know First implied volatility packages in consecutive reporting periods - a cross-cycle consistency that reflects sustained algorithmic conviction in the name rather than a one-time anomaly.

The overall package - averaging 69.95% across all positions over three months, with a 61.79-point premium over the benchmark - represents what systematic implied volatility signal generation produces when applied with discipline across a diversified universe of high-conviction names.

The AI Portfolio Hits an All-Time Record - 36% Since Inception

Weekly Apple Stock Update

Apple is advancing multiple initiatives that could impact its future products and regulatory standing. The company is rolling out its in-house modems across the entire iPhone 18 lineup, enabling the new “Quiet Privacy Benefit” (Limit Precise Location) feature in iOS 26.3 that hides users’ exact location from carriers while maintaining full connectivity and emergency services; this privacy upgrade will become standard with the upcoming C2 modem that also adds mmWave 5G support. On the materials front, Apple is exploring liquid metal and advanced titanium alloys for its first foldable iPhone to improve strength, reduce weight, and minimize screen creasing, after reverting to aluminum in the iPhone 17 Pro due to overheating concerns with titanium. Meanwhile, an Indian court has ordered Apple to cooperate with the Competition Commission of India’s antitrust investigation into its App Store practices, rejecting a suspension request and giving the company until July 15 before any final ruling, as India remains a critical growth market where Apple is expanding local production.
