Rackspace Technology (RXT) doubled at the open on Thursday after reporting Q1 2026 earnings and announcing an AMD partnership on governed enterprise AI infrastructure.
\*\*The catalyst\*\*
Q1 revenue came in at $678M, a slight beat on the $675M consensus and +2% YoY. EPS missed (non-GAAP loss of -$0.06 vs -$0.03 expected) but got overshadowed by the strategic news — Rackspace announced a Memorandum of Understanding with AMD around AI infrastructure for regulated industries. The market priced the AI pivot story over the EPS miss; shares peaked at +103% from prev close.
\*\*Why RXT specifically\*\*
RXT is a legacy cloud infrastructure provider that's been repositioning toward AI workloads — the AMD MoU plugs them directly into the AI-infrastructure narrative that's been bid up across the sector. Combine that with a high short interest (19.65% of float) and a sub-$600M market cap, and you get explosive single-day moves on any positive catalyst.
\*\*The numbers\*\*
\- Market cap: \~$566M
\- Float: 108.9M shares
\- Premarket high: +57% from prev close
\- Prev close: $2.27
\- Short ratio: 2.76
\- Short % of float: 19.65%
\- 52-week range: $0.39 – $2.74 (broke above 52-week high intraday)
\- Beta: 2.24
Premarket gap of 57% combined with \~20% short float — that's the textbook setup for the kind of squeeze that doubles a stock at the open.
\*\*Signal timing\*\*
Stock Pulse sent me a push notification at 8:39 AM ET (premarket) at $3.47. It peaked at $4.62 around 10:49 AM ET — about 2h 10m later. +33% from the alert. Note the stock was already up \~53% in premarket by the time the signal fired, so most of the daily move (peak +103% from prev close) happened overnight on the news.
\*\*Bear case\*\*
\- Faded hard from peak — closed at $3.41, essentially round-tripping the daily gain
\- EPS missed expectations; revenue beat was thin (+2% YoY)
\- "MoU" with AMD is non-binding — softer than a contracted partnership
\- AI pivot narrative could deflate if the AMD deal doesn't translate to actual revenue this year
\- Signal triggered post-premarket-spike — overnight gappers like this are notoriously hard to hold for the full move

Two days of explosive gold moves on Iran de-escalation pricing. GDXU +24% Wednesday, peaked +12% intraday Thursday before reversing hard into close, dropped hard on news of Iran rejecting America deal. The market had priced peak optimism on the Iran deal framework. Three things are about to break that pricing.
**The Hormuz toll is a deal-breaker**
The one-page framework on the table has Iran easing its grip on Hormuz over 30 days in exchange for the US gradually lifting the naval blockade. Buried in the ABC News reporting from Wednesday: Iran is demanding a permanent toll for ships transiting Hormuz as a condition of the deal.
This is Iran seeking to retain long-term structural leverage over global shipping. That's a fundamentally different deal than the one markets priced on Wednesday. Trump cannot sell "Iran extracts permanent fee on energy" as a victory. Iran will not want to sign a deal without it. We'll have to see how the Trump-Xi meeting goes to see if Iran might have pressure put on them by China.
**The Fed dissent is real, and rate cuts may not happen at all in 2026.**
Powell will soon be exiting his position after eight years. Multiple Fed dissenters publicly said the oil shock means the Fed should be clear that it can no longer lean towards rate cuts, with hikes possible. Barclays recently joined the "no easing this year" camp. CME FedWatch shows 5.1% probability of a June cut to 3.25-3.50%, with 94.9% expecting rates to hold at 3.50-3.75%.
The market's been pricing, war ends → oil drops → inflation eases → Fed pivots → gold rallies. The break point is at inflation easing. Even if Iran resolves cleanly, services inflation, wages, and shelter costs are sticky enough that the Fed isn't cutting on schedule. Tuesday, May 12, April CPI is an important date. If services inflation stays hot even with oil dropping, we won't see rate cuts as wages, rent, healthcare, and insurance are still being impacted.
**Israel is escalating against Hezbollah while the US negotiates peace with Iran.**
The IDF eliminated Hezbollah commander Balout in a precision strike in Beirut on Wednesday. 220+ Hezbollah fighters killed in recent weeks. This is happening while the Pakistan-mediated US-Iran track is supposedly "progressing".
Iran cannot watch Israel decapitate its main proxy network and sign a deal that doesn't address it. We've seen Iran push this before. Either Iran responds (kills the MoU) or loses face with its proxy network (also kills the MoU long-term). Israel is the variable that puts the diplomatic timeline regardless of what Trump and Xi discuss in Beijing, May 14-15.
**What to watch**:
* Friday, May 8, NFP at 8:30 AM ET — strong print kills the rally regardless of Iran headlines.
* Tuesday, May 12 CPI — if services inflation stays hot, the Fed pivot thesis dies.
* May 14-15 Trump-Xi summit in Beijing. Cornell's read of the substance odds: "little more than zero."
**What would prove me wrong:**
* Iran formally accepts the MoU framework within 48 hours, with toll demand dropped or significantly modified.
* NFP prints below 100K on Friday.
* Israel announces unilateral Hezbollah pause coordinated with US-Iran track.
If none of those happen, gold gives back this week's gains over the next 5-10 sessions.

Yeah this is pretty normal IBKR paperwork confusion tbh.
If you only held ET for 2 days and had no dividends, then there’s basically nothing “taxable” from the US side in most cases. The document is just IBKR reporting your activity, not a bill you need to act on.
For most EU investors, you usually only need to care about capital gains in your home country, and even that depends on local rules.
Real talk, this is one of those cases where people panic over brokerage forms when the actual tax impact is zero. If everything in the report is showing 0 except buy/sell, it’s basically just record-keeping.
If you’re still unsure, a quick check with a tax advisor in your country is the safest move, but this doesn’t sound like a US filing situation at all.

AMA: CEO Scott Lynn and team. Thursday, 7 May, 2pm ET

3rd trade of the week. Green. Got in a bit early and did not fully wait for the reversal. Stayed in the trade longer and took my profit. I wanted 50% but decided to cut it. It will probably climb back but with the 0dte which I used today, best not to risk it.
Scaled to 5 contracts, only way to grow fast a small account.
One and done: 5 contracts x $13 profit per contract = $65
Time in trade: 27 min. For me it is long with morning glory trade, but it is worth the time.
Started this week account of $300 and growing it to $60,000 with 1 trade a day.
Strategy is trading one trade a day, 2-5 times a week. I watched the trend, line is VWAP and EMA 200 was far away. I have been trading for a bit of time and can spot the psychological levels and how it is moving. It was moving down, there was a good chance of reversal back to VWAP
I only day trade options on ETFs. Timestamp on the broker is UK time. So, entry time of 3.12 is 10.12 ET.

IREN is up \~90% in 5 weeks ($31 → $60) into Thursday’s Q3 FY26 print and I think this is a textbook sell-the-news setup. The biggest bullish catalyst everyone’s chasing — the 1.4GW Sweetwater energization — physically happens in April, which is Q4 FY26, not the quarter being reported. That means the actual numbers tomorrow can’t show Sweetwater impact; best case is bullish forward commentary, which is already priced in at $60 with analyst PTs averaging $72 and B. Riley at $83. The 16.8% short interest that fueled the squeeze has largely covered into the rally, so the marginal forced buyer is gone while the marginal seller (November bagholders from $77 finally back to even) is now the dominant flow. Options are pricing ±17% expected move, putting the post-earnings range at $50-$70, and to keep ripping from here IREN needs a beat AND a raise AND clean Sweetwater confirmation AND enough surprise to overcome IV crush — way more paths to down than up.
Playing it with May 15 $60 puts (ATM, 7DTE post-earnings for high delta and forced exit discipline) or the $60/$50 put debit spread for defined risk at half the premium. Counter-thesis is real — if Microsoft Horizon 1 starts contributing, AI Cloud ARR blows past $500M, and management announces a new hyperscaler, this rips to $75-80 easy. But at $60 with everything priced in, beta 4.31, overbought RSI, and a parabolic 5-week chart, the risk/reward is bad., May 7 5pm ET tells us who’s right.

Every job that I have worked at for the last 15 would have a mini happy hour . First obviously not every day or even every week.
However some Friday the boss would buy a couple different beers/wine then some chips or dip or finger food and everyone would gather in a meeting room at 4pm and have a beer and snacks and drink a beer or wine. And the "business" benefit was not just moral but we would talk about projects talk with other people and sometimes collaborate over a beer.
Its not like we were getting blasted drunk at 2PM .
However the apes were like "OMG it opens at 3"
You can tell apes never have a big boy jobs, on the coasts its not unusual especially for any larger sized company to work later or earlier just do to the 4 times zones of the USA
8 AM ET is 5 AM PT.
If you are on the east coast but need to do work with people on the west cost sometimes you come in later and work later
On west coast its the opposite , if you are in CA and are working with people in NYC or Chicago or where ever you might start your day at 6 am .
There was a month were I was on a project with an UK customer. For a month I started working at 4 AM and would wrap up work at 12-1PM.
Other times with an Australian customer I would work from like 12 PM to 8 PM. At any major company like ebay you will have stuff like this, and one of the reasons why companies offer flexible scheduling .
You can tell APEs have never actually worked a real big boy job.

$VTIX appears to be expanding its focus on defense training & simulation through potential acquisitions.
According to company disclosures, Virtuix formed a special committee to evaluate acquisition targets with:
• Existing government contract vehicles
• $10M–$50M in recurring defense-related revenue
• Established “past performance” credentials used in DoD procurement
The “past performance” angle is notable because prior contract execution is often a major requirement for larger defense awards.
Current defense-related activity mentioned by the company includes:
• Deployments with the U.S. Army and Air Force
• A development agreement with the U.S. Navy
• Selection as lead integrator for a U.S. Marine Corps VR training system
The acquisition strategy could help the company expand its position in military simulation/training markets while potentially accelerating access to larger contracts.
For context, VTIX has traded under $5 within the last 14 days, placing it within this sub’s penny stock rules.
Investor webinar scheduled for May 8 at 11am ET.

Hello everyone, I have a question for the group.
In 2025, acting as a European investor, I purchased shares of ET through IBKR. However, I held them for only two days, as I was uncomfortable with the complexities surrounding the taxation of dividends frim ET as european and related issues; consequently, I sold all the shares after just two days at a slight loss. No dividends were paid out during this period.
I have now received a letter from IBKR containing a detailed breakdown regarding this stock—presumably because I held it in 2025, even if only for a few days and at a loss. Ultimately, every single field in the document shows a zero \[besides the bought/sold\].
Now I am wondering: what am I supposed to do?
Do I need to report anything to the U.S. tax authorities? The letter itself does not clarify what I am expected to do with this information.
Could it perhaps serve solely as documentation to facilitate the reclamation of any potentially overpaid taxes?
I feel a bit lost when it comes to this subject...
Thank you all in advance for your time and assistance.
