We upgrade to Buy and lay out an actionable mid-term (45 trading days) plan with clear entry, stop and target.
Global Partners (GLP) offers a compelling risk/reward today: market cap ~$1.5B, free cash flow of $193M and an EV/EBITDA of 8.5 suggest the business is priced for weakness.

FNMAS (Fannie Mae M/A 8.25 PR S) is vulnerable to a supply-driven downshift if Fannie/Freddie announce a large secondary or follow-on issuance of preferreds or common-equivalent instruments.

Gold has declined by about 13% since the start of the conflict, with a strategist attributing the drop to three main headwinds: a firmer U.S. dollar and higher rate expectations, overbought positioning and technical unwind risks, and a pullback in central bank purchases.

Qualcomm has been punished with a sharp pullback, but the structural move into automotive - from digital cockpits to ADAS and telematics - is turning a fading phone story into a potential $8B revenue franchise. At current metrics the stock offers a constructive risk/reward, supported by strong cash generation, a large buyback, and early technical o…
GitLab (GTLB) has seen growth decelerate and guidance that disappointed the market, but fundamentals — free cash flow, a clean balance sheet and a sub-4x price-to-sales multiple — argue for buying a constructive position. This trade plan lays out an entry at $20.35, a $17.50 stop and a $35 target, with a clear horizon and risks.
