Money Market Review (12/22/2025-12/26/2025)
A mixed week despite the Christmas holiday, as Larry Ellison makes a move getting Warner Bros. Discovery to consider Paramount-Skydance instead.
Another holiday week, and things look steady. However, for those in the crypto space, it's a cold, dry market as it continues to be. Because Gold and Silver are dominating, where will digital coins stand? Will it continue to have a future?

More purchasing for Alphabet acquiring Intersect Power to "bypass energy grid bottlenecks" for $4.75B. I'm sure this has something to do with them being one of the top AI apps currently: Google Gemini. Gold and Silver continue to rally, being one of the hottest investments for weeks now. Oracle CEO Larry Ellison pitching in $40B in part of the Warner Bros. Discovery deal—for Paramount-Skydance. You can drink to that, but alcohol is getting less popular, leading Jim Beam having to close their Kentucky distillery. Looks that message about drinking and driving really hit among the youth.

All that purchasing of energy did Google well: they've caught up in the AI race. While they're happy with their purchase, consumers are not; many are not very optimistic about the economy. I'm sure that also goes for the job market as well. President Trump said, "Fed chair should lower rates if market does well." Hard to say, and while this day was well, plenty are not feeling the direction things are heading in. After all, what's there to look forward to?

It's Christmas Eve, and Gold is set for its best year since Jimmy Carter was president. We should include NIKE, since they're about to start their 2026 off great, thanks to Apple®'s Tim Cook.
Merry Christmas!

This after Christmas day wasn't so great. However, those earning a healthy amount from their Gold and Silver investments have a lot to smile about—best Christmas gift they've gotten. Not much to be reported this day other than Nvidia is looking to maintain dominance in the tech market. This was also the day where state of California dropped their lawsuit wanting to reinstate federal funding for their bullet train project. How long has that project been stalled? Why won't stock and finance "influencers" discuss this?
This week started great, then ended on a low note. Perhaps it's the holidays, but things look like it'll start on roughly heading into 2026. For what's going on, only time will tell with the involvement of Paramount-Skydance in purchasing Warner Bros. Discovery, unless they're 100% set with Netflix. I also find it amusing with regard to California begging more money in relation to their bullet train project; yet, not one finance/stock market 'influencer' on YouTube has talked about the awful money begging and mismanagement that has gone on the Golden State ever since—none whom we know of. Are they aware of such money mismanagement in the state? As for tech, it's still thriving from AI to quantum computing. We hope you added Gold and Silver as well, being the best Christmas gifts you'll have ever gotten this year.
How did your Christmas week go with regards to stocks? Do you think crypto will ever bounce back any time soon? Which company do you think will make big moves in January? Let's talk about it in the comments section below!
