If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.Why we love this dealWhen you’re running back and forth between work, taking the kids to school, and trying to complete your errands while balancing all the to-do lists and extracurriculars you have going on, you certainly look forward to hopping into bed each night. Life is so busy that when it’s finally time to throw on some pajamas and hunker down for the night, we’re more than happy to do it. Who could possibly say no to a quiet eight hours of no interruptions? But nothing irritates us more, or gets in the way of that overnight reset, than uncomfortable bedding. Whether it’s made with a fabric that leaves you hot and sweaty, or seems scratchy and itchy on your skin, when you lack comfort, your sleep seriously suffers, and no one should have to deal with that. These days, it’s well worth the money to invest in a new bedding set when your current one gets in the way of logging some solid ZZZ’s, and with so many multi-piece sets available for affordable prices, it’s easier than ever to swap out the old for the new. Right now, Target is selling the Becky Cameron Textured Comforter Set on sale for 40% off. The down alternative comforter and pillow shams set typically goes for $116, but you can get your own for just $70. Becky Cameron Textured Comforter Set, $70 (was $116) at Target

Shop at TargetWhy do shoppers love it?This ultra-soft set is designed to keep you comfortable and cool. Made with a 100% microfiber fabric, the down alternative comforter and two pillow shams in the set have a waffle-texture that promotes air circulation to keep you from overheating. The raised, honeycomb-like weave that waffle fabrics have creates air pockets that offer superior temperature regulation because they trap warmth but allow heat to escape. This, in combination with the polyester’s moisture-wicking capabilities in the microfiber, prevents you from waking up damp and sweaty. The waffled-texture also creates a cozier sleeping experience because of how appealing and non-irritating it is on skin. The all-season comforter is stuffed with a polyester fill to give it its plush, fluffy appearance and warmth. It uses a sewn through box stitching to ensure that the fill stays evenly distributed, preventing shifting, bunching, or clumping in a certain corner or side. The textured comforter is a great way to add some style to your bedroom without going overboard. If you like a simple look but aren’t keen on vibrant patterns, then this 3D-textured waffle weave might be the perfect solution to infuse some fun into your bedding.  The set is available in three sizes: twin/twin extra long, full/queen, and king/california king. The full/queen and king/california king sets all come with three pieces — the two pillow shams and comforter — but the twin/twin extra long only includes one pillow sham and one comforter.Related: Amazon’s highly rated $36 7-piece comforter set comes with every bedding essential you needAvailable in seven colors, this set is machine washable.

The AI Capex Bill Comes Due

July 26, 2026 MMN Editor Filed Under: Uncategorized

The AI Capex Bill Comes Due

Authored by Lance Roberts via RealInvestmentAdvice.com,

The S&P 500 spent most of the year riding above its 50-day moving average, and we have warned for the last couple of weeks that a break lower would be worth paying attention to. That break occurred on Thursday, as the index closed the week at 7,411.98, roughly 0.8% below the 50-DMA at 7,467, marking its first decisive break below that line in months.

Momentum has clearly rolled over. The 14-day RSI sits in the mid-40s, below the neutral 50 line but not yet oversold, suggesting there is room for further downside before the tape gets stretched. The MACD agrees with the signal line crossing bearish about a week ago, and the histogram keeps widening to the downside. This is what the early innings of a pullback look like, not the middle or the end.

One encouraging detail sits beneath the surface. The tight link between the hyperscalers and the semiconductors has broken down, and the chip complex actually held up on the week, even as the megacaps were sold. Decliners still outran advancers by roughly three to one on the New York Stock Exchange during Thursday’s rout. This was a real risk-off session, not a quiet drift. A theme that rotates internally behaves very differently from one that investors are abandoning wholesale.

The bigger trend is still intact. The 200-day moving average sits at 7,001, and the index remains almost 6% above it. A slide to the 50-DMA or even the July closing low near 7,354 would be entirely normal inside an ongoing uptrend. The line that matters is the 200-DMA. Lose that, and the conversation changes.

In our own models, we continue to hold the AI complex at target weight rather than above it. We are not adding to them, given next week’s hyperscaler prints; instead, we would rather let the reports clear and buy confirmation than pay up for a guess. That discipline has kept risk contained through every one of this year’s AI-driven air pockets.

Here is the setup for next week. First resistance is the 50-DMA at 7,467, then the early-July high near 7,566, and the record close at 7,612. On the downside, watch 7,354, then the June closing low at 7,266, and the 100-day average at 7,172. A close back above the 50-DMA would repair most of the technical damage. A close below 7,266 would put the 200-DMA in play and argue for a more defensive posture.

💰 The AI Capex Bill Comes Due

On Friday, I laid out the accounting catch hiding inside this year’s record earnings in AI Capex Depreciation Risk Is The Catch To Record Earnings. The short version is simple. The AI capex boom has flattered reported profits while quietly draining cash, and next week, four of the five biggest spenders report at once. This is where the theory meets the tape.

The five biggest hyperscalers are on track to spend north of $725 billion on capital projects in 2026, up from roughly $412 billion last year. Yet only about $211 billion of that will show up as depreciation on 2026 income statements. The rest, more than half a trillion dollars, sits on the balance sheet as a long-lived asset and gets expensed over the years ahead. That timing gap is why earnings can grow more than 20 percent while the cash going out the door explodes higher. The capex is REAL.

There is nothing improper about any of this. It is how companies book capital assets, and it always works this way. What is different this cycle is the sheer scale of the spending and the speed at which the deferred bill will land. As Todd Castagno at Morgan Stanley put it, this is “a golden window where everybody looks good.” The window does not stay open forever.

Free Cash Flow Is Draining, Not Disappearing

Here is where investors get the story half right. Depreciation is a non-cash charge. It lowers reported earnings, but it does not touch the cash a business actually generates from operations. So when you watch a hyperscaler’s free cash flow collapse, you are mostly watching capital spending outrun everything else, not a business falling apart.

Amazon is the clearest example. Its trailing free cash flow fell to $1.2 billion from $25.9 billion a year earlier. That looks alarming until you remember why. The company is pouring roughly $200 billion into data centers, chips, and power. Cash leaves today, and the asset it buys is designed to produce revenue for years.

The mistake is treating compressed free cash flow as automatic evidence of waste. Falling FCF is far more defensible when it funds reinvestment than when it funds buybacks. Betting on permanent cash-flow impairment is a bet against the best capital allocators of the past two decades.

Negative free cash flow tells you a company is spending. It does not tell you whether the spending is smart. That answer shows up later, in the revenue the assets produce.

The honest caveat is that a GPU is not a railroad. If the useful life of these assets turns out shorter than management assumes, the depreciation bill arrives faster, and the payback window compresses. That is the real debate, and it deserves to be settled company by company rather than with a single scary headline.

Four Companies, Four Different Bills

Four of the biggest AI spenders report next week, and they sit in very different places on this map. Microsoft reports on Wednesday with consensus at $4.22. It is spending heavily, roughly $190 billion in calendar 2026, and the strain already shows. Free cash flow fell to $15.8 billion last quarter on $31.9 billion of capex, down from $25.7 billion two quarters earlier. The number that justifies the bill is Azure, which management guided to 39%-40% growth. Hold that line, and the spend looks bought. Miss it, and the cash-flow math gets uncomfortable in a hurry.

Amazon reports Thursday with consensus at $1.82. Its story is the same shape, only larger. The roughly $200 billion capex plan drove trailing free cash flow down to that $1.2 billion figure. But AWS reaccelerated to 28% growth last quarter, its fastest in over three years, with a backlog north of $360 billion, and is the entire tell. If cloud growth holds, the buildout is converting. If it stalls, the market will ask much harder questions about the check Amazon wrote. It did exactly that when the stock fell 8% after the spending plan was first announced.

Meta also reports on Wednesday, with a consensus at $7.23, and it is the odd one out. Meta is pouring a comparable fortune into AI, with 2026 capex guidance just raised to $125 billion to $145 billion, yet it has no cloud division to sell that capacity to (which is why we don’t own it).

For Meta, the payback has to show up inside its own business, in sharper ad targeting and deeper engagement, with Reality Labs and the new Meta Compute effort as longer-dated options. That makes Meta the purest test of the four. Its operating margin has already slipped from the peak as spending ramps up, and free cash flow could turn negative if capex keeps climbing. Watch whether AI is visibly lifting ad revenue. If it is, the spend defends itself. If not, Meta has the least coverage in the group.

Apple is the counterexample, and that is exactly why it belongs here. It reports Thursday with a consensus at $1.89, and it is barely part of this story. Apple’s capital spending is a fraction of its cash generation, and it still throws off enormous free cash flow every quarter. Its risks live somewhere else entirely, in the iPhone upgrade cycle, Services growth, China, and the perception that it has fallen behind on AI. This is also Tim Cook’s final earnings call before John Ternus takes over, which adds a layer of narrative that the numbers will not capture. Apple is the reminder that not every megacap is running the same capex gauntlet, a point we made in Mag 7 Stocks: Risk Or Opportunity.

The Market Is Treating The AI Capex As Dead Money

Watch how the tape reacted this month, and you’d think the AI buildout had already failed. Alphabet beat on revenue, grew Google Cloud 82%, and still fell about 5% after hours because it raised capital spending again. As I posted on Thursday:

Amazon got the same treatment earlier this year. The market is pricing the bill and ignoring the asset. That is usually where opportunity hides.

Be honest about the near-term risk first. Valuations are not cheap. The broad market still trades well above its long-term average multiple, and the megacaps carry a premium on top of that. Free cash flow is under real pressure, and Alphabet just posted negative free cash flow of $5.9 billion and paused buybacks to fund the buildout. Capex guidance keeps getting revised higher, not lower, which means the deferred depreciation bill I described earlier is still growing. Add a tape below its 50-day average and the worst three-month stretch of the calendar dead ahead. More downside over the next quarter or two would not surprise me.

The AI Capex depreciation risk is great for bearish headlines, clicks, and views. However, it misses a critical point. Negative free cash for a company that is losing market share, has declining revenue growth, and is unprofitable is a clear investment risk.

However, that is not the story of the hyperscalers. The revenue that justifies all this spending is accelerating, not fading. As noted, Google Cloud grew 82%, Azure is running near 40%, and AWS reaccelerated to 28%. The committed backlogs behind them are enormous, at $514 billion for Google, north of $600 billion for Microsoft, and more than $360 billion for Amazon. Those are not the numbers of a dying business. They are the numbers of businesses that cannot build capacity fast enough to meet demand.

This is where Howard Marks and his second-level thinking earn their keep. The easy call is to sell what just went down. The harder and usually more profitable call is to buy durable franchises when the crowd has decided the story is over. The hyperscalers are not dead. They are expensive, early in the payback, and briefly out of favor, which is a very different thing. We’d use this weakness to build positions in the names where cloud growth and backlog clearly justify the spend. And we’d do it in pieces rather than all at once.

🔑 Key Catalysts Next Week

Next week is the most consequential stretch of the summer. The Federal Reserve makes its decision on Wednesday, and four of the five largest companies in the index report within about 48 hours of that decision.

Start with the Fed. The FOMC meets July 28 and 29, with the decision at 2:00 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday and Chair Warsh’s press conference at 2:30. There is no new dot plot at this meeting, so the statement language and the press conference are the whole show. The funds rate has held at 3.50 to 3.75% all year on sticky inflation. This week’s oil spike does not make the case for a cut any easier. Watch how Warsh frames the inflation risk coming from energy.

Then the earnings deluge. Microsoft and Meta report on Wednesday after the close, and Apple and Amazon follow on Thursday after the close. FactSet has S&P 500 earnings growing about 24.7% in the second quarter, marking the second straight quarter above 20%. The bar is high, and the market’s patience is thin. Companies that have missed this season were punished harder than usual, falling an average of 4.2% against a historical norm closer to 2.9Z%.

The macro calendar fills in around those events. Consumer Confidence and home-price data land on Tuesday. The advance reading of second-quarter GDP and the June PCE deflator, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, both print Thursday morning at 8:30. That lands right on top of the Apple and Amazon reports that evening. Friday brings the Employment Cost Index and the final read on consumer sentiment. There is no monthly jobs report this week, so the Fed and the megacap prints will set the tone on their own.

For portfolios, the sequencing matters more than any single release. Wednesday afternoon delivers the Fed plus Microsoft and Meta. Thursday delivers growth, inflation, and the other two megacaps. By Friday’s close, we will know whether the AI capex trade can absorb both a cautious Fed and its own cash-flow math. Position sizes should reflect that this is a week built for surprises.

What Should Investors Do Now

None of this argues for abandoning the AI trade. It argues for pricing it honestly. The businesses are real, the revenue is growing, and the best operators have earned some benefit of the doubt. But valuations already assume the capex converts cleanly, and next week, four companies have to show their work. Here is how we are approaching it.

A number that looks frightening in isolation can be rational once you see the asset it bought and the revenue it is producing. The bill for the AI buildout is coming due. Next week, we will start to find out who can pay for it.

Trade accordingly.

Ambassador Mike Waltz Weighs in on Pausing Strikes on Iran – (VIDEO)

July 26, 2026 MMN Editor Filed Under: Uncategorized

Ambassador Mike Waltz was on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream to talk about the pause on the strikes on Iran.
Waltz explained that the military has been greatly strengthened since President Trump resumed office. He explained that President Trump is readily prepared with the military to continue striking Iran when it becomes necessary.
“We are in a pause in these nightly strikes we have been doing with respect to Iran,” Bream said.
“What is the timeline for deciding whether we resume?” Bream asked.
“The President said we are locked and loaded. Even more assets are going into theatre, but he is giving talk some space,” Waltz commented.
“There are a lot of folks who say it’s a senseless mission. We can never trust the Iranians. Why continue talking with them? The only thing that they really respond to is this brute military force,” Bream said.
“The IRGC controls 40 to 50 percent of the Iranian economy. What you have seen in the last 13 days are strikes particularly focused on Iran’s terrorist activities,” Waltz said.
“The Iranian regime is isolated, economically devastated, militarily devastated,” Waltz continued.
“Inflation is spiking, the currency is tanking. Foreign currency reserves are gone, and we are starting to see the Iranian government even not be able to pay its own workers and even its own military,” Waltz explained.
“The Iranian’s leverage, this regime’s leverage over the Straits of Hormuz will drastically diminish over time,” Waltz said.
Ambassador Waltz explained that deals are being made in the Middle East and with US oil and gas companies, which will create many pipelines in the Middle East to potentially move millions of barrels of oil a day.
“They have made a fantastic and historic mistake by what they have done. But in the meantime, in the very near meantime, we have taken that leverage off the table by degrading and destroying their military architecture,” Waltz explained.

‘Blubbering apology’: Fox News anchor ‘runs cover’ for Zohran Mamdani after popular radio host calls mayor the T-word

July 26, 2026 MMN Editor Filed Under: Uncategorized

Griff Jenkins of Fox News
Fox News anchor Griff Jenkins delivered what is being called “a blubbering apology” on the air after a popular radio host called New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani a “terrorist.”
On Saturday’s broadcast of “Fox & Friends Weekend,” Sid Rosenberg, the top-rated morning host on New York’s WABC Radio, said, “Trying to talk to Mayor Mamdani is like trying to talk to the IRGC, OK? This guy is a terrorist. That’s the bottom line. I’ll say it. You don’t want to say it. I’ll say it. He’s a terrorist. He’s a jihadist.”
Radio host Sid Rosenberg
“He hates the Jewish people. He hates America. He hates the Italian people. He hates the Irish people,” Rosenberg, who calls himself a proud Jew, continued. “He hates the German people. Unless you’re Muslim, Mayor Mamdani has no use for you.”
“He is a horrible person and maybe has perpetrated the worst American and Jewish hate in the history of this country. Those two people stabbed the other day in the Upper East Side of New York City, that blood is on his hands. That blood is on your hands, Mayor Mamdani.”
Zohran Mamdani
“This guy is the worst thing to happen to New York politics, maybe in the history of our state! He’s a lowlife.”
“His ideologies are in line with the terrorists. Mahmoud Khalil is a campus terrorist. You don’t have to kill somebody to be a terrorist. You have to share the ideology. That’s what this guy is.”

Jenkins initially pushed back against against Rosenberg, saying: “I think you may be a bit over your skis in calling him, labeling him a terrorist and you’re probably going to get flagged for that. New Yorkers elected this guy. They knew everything about him before.”
Some 40 minutes later, when Rosenberg was no longer on the curvy couch, Jenkins offered a more formal apology, saying: “We know there are a lot of heated feelings around this war, and last hour, while discussing the role anti-Israel sentiment is playing in the rise of anti-Semitism, one of our guests labeled New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani as a ‘terrorist.’
“Now that word carries an extremely serious meaning, and should not be used freely. And it’s important we distinguish between strong political criticism and factual allegations.”
Cullen Linebarger at the Gateway Pundit called Jenkins’ remarks “a blubbering apology,” saying: “The allegedly conservative Fox News Channel has decided to run cover for arguably the most dangerous communist politician in America following highly politically incorrect comments.”
“So weak. Did Mayor Mamdani’s office give Fox News a call?”
Best-selling author Naomi Wolf said: “Fox News needs to apologize for its apologies.”

The local media here in New York continues to run cover for this creep. He won’t say anything either because he knows I’m right! Shameful!”

USA TODAY Sports Activists Faceplant with Fake News on Caitlin Clark

On Friday morning, in the wake of USA Today sports columnist Nancy Armour getting her screechy op-ed on Caitlin Clark and WNBA referees revised for bizarre comparisons to the Emmitt Till lynching, “McPaper” released an article by Heather Burns about Clark missing the WNBA Orange Carpet event for this year’s All-Star Game. The publication’s initial social media post read: “Caitlin Clark skipped the WNBA Orange Carpet on Thursday, opting to get her hair done in her hometown of Des Moines.”Caitlin Clark skipped the WNBA Orange Carpet on Thursday, opting to get her hair done in her hometown of Des Moines. https://t.co/9z3qjCS7EU— USA TODAY (@USATODAY) July 24, 2026 Fierce replies came quickly. “How in the world is USA TODAY still existing with SEXIST headlines like this only aimed at Caitlin Clark?! They just keep doubling down on their ignorance and stupidity,” newly retired ESPN “SportsCenter” anchor Linda Cohn replied.Several hours later, USA Today issued a correction for this story on Clark. Oooops, she wasn’t getting her hair done! “Clarification: Caitlin Clark was attending an event for the Caitlin Clark Foundation, which is why she missed the WNBA All-Star Weekend Orange Carpet,” they wrote in a follow-up post. That’s not a “clarification.” Why must they do that when they were WRONG? It’s a Correction. On X, Jarvis Best joked: “Did Caitlin Clark sleep with USA Today’s boyfriend of what’s going on here?”On Saturday, Clark and her fellow All-Stars played before a record crowd of 19,783 at the United Center, but USA Today seems more interested in ripping Clark than in noticing the league’s recent success.
