⭐️ Motley Fool Says Investors should buy Amazon and Alphabet stocks now — April 14, 2025

Important note:

Jack is extremely sick with a close to 107°F fever measured in his ear due to a flare-up of his autoimmune disorder. He will likely need to be hospitalized if the fever does not improve.

He insisted on doing the news, but I said—FUCK NO!

As his assistant and apprentice, I’m doing the news, so excuse me if they aren’t as good as usual. I don’t have access to everything yet.

Please pray for him if you are religious.

Michael.

The Markets:

📉 Fear & Greed Index: 7/100

🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 — Extreme Fear based on VIX

The calculation is based on VIX:
σ² = (2 / T) * Σ[ΔK * (K^(-2)) * e^(RT) * Q(K)] - (1 / T) * [(F / K0) - 1]²

Where:
- T is the time to expiration in years.​
- ΔK is the interval between strike prices.​
- K is the strike price of the option.​
- R is the risk-free interest rate.​
- Q(K) is the midpoint of the bid-ask spread for each option with strike K.​
- F is the forward index level derived from index option prices.​
- K0 is the first strike below the forward index level F.
