Strong data support solid market foundations.

Romaine Bostick said strong GDP and November consumer spending data, while backward-looking, gave him confidence that the foundations of the U.S. equity market remain solid, even as the prior sessions were driven by geopolitics.

Robotaxi progress fuels Tesla rally.

Romaine Bostick highlighted that Tesla had its best day since Thanksgiving of last year, partly because news suggested the company's autonomous robotaxi program in Texas is making progress.

Intel turnaround delayed despite strategic position.

Romaine Bostick warned that Intel's earnings showed the turnaround will take much longer: revenue fell 4%, current-quarter guidance was about 1% lower, and the key component tied to the government investment likely will not materialize until the end of the decade, despite Intel being the only U.S.-based manufacturer of high-end chips.

JPMorgan's cash flow absorbs lawsuit risk.

Romaine Bostick said JPMorgan's stock finished higher despite Trump's $5 billion lawsuit, and its strong cash flow plus Jamie Dimon's ability to handle legal and political fights suggest the lawsuit is an overhang that will take time to resolve rather than a material threat.

Bank of America faces potential lawsuit risk.

Romaine Bostick flagged Bank of America as a bank investors are watching because, while no formal lawsuit has been filed, there is speculation it could become a target of Trump's de-banking grievance.
