Part 3 of 3: who wins when everybody has an AI agent, who gets squeezed, and how I'm playing Meta.

It’s not your imagination: roughly seven in ten S&P 500 stocks have lagged the index over the past three years. The free Chart Room for Tuesday, October 13, 2026, with credit, Citi, McDonald’s, Micron and energy.

The 10-year just got its first confirmation of a top, half the S&P is still below its 200-day, and the bank chart is set up right into earnings. Three charts from Sunday's Chart Room I'm watching this week.

Part 2 of 3: why Meta is playing Microsoft in the AI assistant war.

T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon lost a tenth of their value in a single session when SpaceX said it wants to be a carrier. The index barely noticed, and the money rotated instead of leaving.

The 10-year hit its highest yield since 2002 and got rejected the same day, the NYSE printed 320 new lows under a quiet index, and Micron ripped on a red tape. Three charts from Wednesday's Chart Room I'm still watching.

Part 1 of 3: why Meta's Muse might be the biggest AI story of the year, and it has nothing to do with being the smartest.

A mediocre entry at the right size beats a perfect fill that is too big.

IV is the price of the event, and the crush is the bill. Know which side of it you are on.

Premium feels like a paycheck. It is a trade: you sold upside to get it.

Three Chart Room tells after Friday's yield breakout: high yield credit cracking, breadth better but narrow, and stocks that haven't priced the bond move yet.

Weak jobs, higher yields, and a board split clean between rate-sensitive sectors and a handful of mega caps that didn't notice. Bad news stopped being good news.

Same strike sells time. Different strikes add the lean. Say which job you hired before you click.

High IV is not a signal to get fancy. It is a signal to slow down and ask who gets paid for the move.

Normalized P/E barely explains one-year returns — but over a decade it explains most of them. Match the homework to the holding period.

Three Chart Room tells for the tape: 10Y cleared 5.20%, McClellan at -19 with the index high, and semis leading with RSI divergence underneath.

The ten-year cleared 5.20% and the Nasdaq made a new high. Here is why both are true — and why lazy money is about to get audited.

Stocks and gold are getting some relief this morning as yields back off. Fine. Take the win. Just do not mistake a morning breather for the end of the higher-rate era.

How Amateurs Blow Up With LEAPS Sizing LEAPS look safer because they have time. Amateurs treat that time like a hall pass for size. That is the failure mode. Not the wrong ticker. Not the wrong delta. The quiet permission slip that says, I have a year, so I can go bigger. Options involve significant risk. They are not suitable for all investors (46IUGkYDkv4 @2:51). LEAPS do not delete that sentence. They stretch the clock. They do not shrink ruin. Time is not a risk budget Lo
