The S&P 500’s FOMO Rally Since April: Who Mooned, Who Missed
June 9, 2025
You might want to hold onto those pennies — not for luck, but because they’re about to become a collector’s item. The U.S. Treasury plans to halt the production of new one-cent coins by early next year. Why? Turns out making a penny costs more than triple its face value. And the nickel? Even worse. Take a look at just how pricey your pocket change really is — it’s all charted here.
U.S. stocks wrapped up yesterday with a fizzle instead of a bang. The S&P 500 and Russell 2000 edged lower, while the Nasdaq 100 squeaked out a 0.2% gain. It marked the S&P’s first three-day losing streak since the post-tariff slide back in April.
You rarely get Wall Street drama that feels like a Hollywood script. But D-Wave Quantum just delivered something close. Think: David vs. Nvidia.
At the beginning of 2025, D-Wave looked like a footnote — a $500M player in a world where Nvidia was flexing its $3T market cap. Nvidia’s CEO publicly downplayed the near-term relevance of quantum computing. D-Wave’s CEO fired back, insisting his tech was already solving real-world problems. Wall Street sided with the titan — and quantum stocks took a beating.
Fast forward a few months and D-Wave is on a heater:
Today? Pure-play quantum stocks have bounced back — erasing the losses from earlier in the year. And D-Wave? Up more than 500% from its lows. That chart’s worth a look.
Underdogs rarely get the last laugh on Wall Street. But D-Wave’s resurgence is a reminder: bet on results, not just reputations.

What if your treadmill took you to another world? Meet Virtuix, the company behind the Omni — a 360-degree VR platform that lets you walk, run, and dodge like you’re inside the game.
Highlights:
Virtuix just raised $40M to supercharge its vision for immersive entertainment — and you can get in on the action.
Novo Nordisk is tightening its grip on the booming weight-loss market. As of Thursday, compounding pharmacies are barred from mass-producing semaglutide copies — cutting off cheap alternatives to Novo’s blockbuster drug, Wegovy.
Novo didn’t just wait around. It launched a discount blitz:
Some services, like Hims, appeared to be sidestepping the rule, still offering personalized compounded semaglutide — at least for now.
Novo’s not just defending its turf — it’s going on the offensive. With Eli Lilly’s Zepbound hot on its heels, the Wegovy price war is officially underway. And with a recent CEO shake-up, Novo’s clearly serious about staying ahead.
OpenAI just made a bold move: it’s acquiring io, the hardware startup from Apple design legend Jony Ive, for $6.5B. Their goal? A new family of AI-powered devices — with the first one already in development.

Investing in private company securities is not suitable for all investors because it is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. It should only be considered a long-term investment. You must be prepared to withstand a total loss of your investment. Private company securities are also highly illiquid, and there is no guarantee that a market will develop for such securities.
