He applauded &lt;strong&gt;Marvell Technology&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span class="ticker" data-id="204570"&gt;(NASDAQ: MRVL)&lt;/span&gt;, saying it could be set to become the "next trillion-dollar company." &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Huang's comments sent shares of the &lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/stock-market/market-sectors/information-technology/semiconductor-stocks/"&gt;semiconductor stock&lt;/a&gt; soaring 32.5% last Tuesday (June 2). Following the big move, the stock now has a market cap of over $250 billion. So, if Huang is right, the stock could still quadruple from here.

This move is primarily fueled by the fact that China currently dominates the global market, controlling a staggering 70% of mining and 90% of processing, giving the country considerable influence in international negotiations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The U.S. entered into a historic arrangement with &lt;strong&gt;MP Materials&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span class="ticker" data-id="343372"&gt;(NYSE: MP)&lt;/span&gt; last year, investing in the company to help it ramp up its processing capacity while also providing it with price floors for its critical magnets. Over the past month, several investment banks have raised their price targets on the company. Here's what investors need to know.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;MP Materials is the only fully integrated Western rare-earth producer that also owns the largest rare-earth mine in the U.S. at Mountain Pass. Last year, the company entered into a landmark public-private partnership with the U.S. government to purchase its neodymium-praseodymium (NdPr) products, which are used in critical rare-earth magnets for electric vehicles, robotics, and defense.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/06/07/investment-banks-keep-raising-their-price-target/?source=iedfolrf0000001"&gt;Continue reading&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded><category domain="https://www.fool.com/stocks/NYSE">MP</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/guid">9be46ec2-2054-49da-a297-df35b353fbb9</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/topic">investing</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/bureau" slug="usmf-energy-materials-and-utilities">Energy, Materials, and Utilities</category></item><item><title>MLPX vs. EMLP: Does Active Management in Energy Infrastructure Justify the Extra Fee Cost?</title><link>https://www.fool.com/coverage/etfs/2026/06/07/mlpx-vs-emlp-does-active-management-in-energy-infrastructure-justify-the-extra-fee-cost/?source=iedfolrf0000001</link><description>Explore how portfolio composition and management style shape income and volatility for these two energy infrastructure ETFs.</description><author>newsfeedback@fool.com (Sara Appino)</author><pubDate>Sun, 07 Jun 2026 13:35:33 -0400</pubDate><guid>https://www.fool.com/coverage/etfs/2026/06/07/mlpx-vs-emlp-does-active-management-in-energy-infrastructure-justify-the-extra-fee-cost/</guid><content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Global X - MLP &amp;amp; Energy Infrastructure ETF&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span class="ticker" data-id="288326"&gt;(NYSEMKT:MLPX)&lt;/span&gt; offers a lower-cost, high-yield path to energy infrastructure, while &lt;strong&gt;First Trust North American Energy Infrastructure Fund&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span class="ticker" data-id="287702"&gt;(NYSEMKT:EMLP)&lt;/span&gt; provides an actively managed, diversified utility-heavy alternative.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Investors looking for exposure to the North American energy infrastructure sector generally weigh the merits of pure-play pipeline funds against more diversified portfolios. While both ETFs target companies that move and store fuel, their underlying investment strategies result in notably different risk-return profiles.

The last time it rose that high, the tech collapse in 2000 soon followed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While strong corporate earnings growth is supporting the market here, stocks could take a hit if the narrative changes. Inflation is well above the Federal Reserve's target. GDP growth has slowed substantially over the past two quarters. President Donald Trump is trying to restart his tariff strategy.  Any or all of these factors could be the catalyst to send stock prices sharply lower. With the S&amp;amp;P 500 nearly as expensive as it has ever been, according to the Shiller CAPE ratio, there's little room for error.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are ways, however, to protect your portfolio. By pivoting to more defensive equities, investors can mitigate downside risk and maybe even generate a little extra income on the side. That's why the &lt;strong&gt;Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span class="ticker" data-id="255345"&gt;(NYSEMKT: SCHD)&lt;/span&gt; becomes really attractive during a correction.

When it didn't, they revolted, sending Broadcom shares &lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/06/04/why-broadcom-stock-crashed-today/"&gt;as much as 14% lower&lt;/a&gt;, and dragging a handful of other AI tech stocks down with it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A growing number of investors seem to fear this single-day setback could mark the beginning of prolonged weakness stemming from AI's lack of clear, practical value. After all, most of Broadcom's business comes from other AI companies building capacity on the mere hope that enough actual business will follow. If this worry is legitimate, a sweeping correction is likely to come sooner rather than later.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/06/07/opinion-broadcom-is-the-canary-in-the-ai-coal-mine/?source=iedfolrf0000001"&gt;Continue reading&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded><category domain="https://www.fool.com/stocks/NASDAQ">AVGO</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/guid">787edc38-ad7b-44a6-9a8d-38ad256b38a5</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/topic">investing</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/bureau" slug="usmf-technology-and-telecom">Technology and Telecom</category></item><item><title>AMD's Bold AI Push Could Unlock Massive Growth, But the Risks Are Also Serious</title><link>https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/06/07/amds-bold-ai-push-could-unlock-massive-growth-but/?source=iedfolrf0000001</link><description>AMD's AI story is getting stronger, but the stock's valuation is getting harder to ignore.

That figure sounds bad, but it masks material underlying strength. Notably, there was a one-time hit due to the timing of certain hedging activity, which will likely reverse later in the year, making future quarters look even better. With the company growing production by 24% and returning a huge $6 billion in cash to shareholders, is now the time to buy Chevron? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The big story in &lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/stock-market/market-sectors/energy/"&gt;the energy sector&lt;/a&gt; today is the geopolitical conflict in the Middle East. The high energy prices resulting from supply constraints caused by this conflict didn't actually start until partway through the first quarter.

Unfortunately, this was not the case this week when &lt;strong&gt;Broadcom&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span class="ticker" data-id="222667"&gt;(NASDAQ: AVGO)&lt;/span&gt; announced its latest earnings. Despite beating Wall Street's expectations and posting truly impressive growth, the stock sank because it missed analysts' earnings-per-share "whisper number," or the informal consensus, by a slim margin. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The lesson for investors is, once again, that short-term noise should largely be ignored. Long-term fundamentals still matter, and a decrease in a stock's price based on hype or noise is nothing more than an irrational overreaction. &lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/how-to-invest/stocks/how-to-invest-in-broadcom-stock/"&gt;Broadcom's fundamentals remain&lt;/a&gt; incredibly strong.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Broadcom's revenue grew 48% year over year, and its artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor revenue exploded by 143%, with another $30 billion in bookings. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/06/07/lesson-investors-take-away-broadcom-earnings/?source=iedfolrf0000001"&gt;Continue reading&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded><category domain="https://www.fool.com/stocks/NASDAQ">AVGO</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/guid">ffee93f4-8b59-4360-9dc9-e94800aa5870</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/topic">investing</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/bureau" slug="usmf-technology-and-telecom">Technology and Telecom</category></item><item><title>After Shares Surged 84% in a Month, Micron's CEO Just Sold $38 Million of Stock.

Which is basically what Benjamin Franklin was getting at when he said, "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." The U.S. tax code is complicated, and filing your taxes is a heavy chore. But you have to do it. Hopefully, the outcome is a refund or at least no additional tax payments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With tax season in the rearview mirror, many people may be glad to move on. Don't be so quick. All of that work you did can serve another purpose. The information you generated is what you need to perform a retirement plan checkup. Do that now, while the information is still fresh.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hate taxes all you want, but if you can get more out of them than just a headache, you'll be much happier about the effort you had to put in. That effort usually begins with collecting information about your financial situation. Your salary information is the starting point, of course. However, you also need all your bank statements and the statements from your investment accounts, including retirement plans and &lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/retirement/plans/ira/"&gt;individual retirement accounts&lt;/a&gt; (IRAs). You may also have other information in the mix, such as interest payments on outstanding loans.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/retirement/2026/06/07/how-to-turn-your-2025-tax-return-into-a-retirement/?source=iedfolrf0000001"&gt;Continue reading&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded><category domain="https://www.fool.com/stocks/NASDAQ">MU</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/guid">a0a5efa7-d2a3-4fe0-88af-ba77aede291f</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/topic">retirement</category><category domain="https://www.fool.com/bureau" slug="usmf-investment-planning">Investment Planning</category></item><item><title>A Post-Earnings Sell-Off Could Be an Incredible Buying Opportunity for This Stock</title><link>https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/06/07/post-earnings-sell-off-could-be-incredible-buying/?source=iedfolrf0000001</link><description>The transition to artificial intelligence (AI) could ultimately be great for this company.</description><author>newsfeedback@fool.com (Adam Levy)</author><pubDate>Sun, 07 Jun 2026 10:00:00 -0400</pubDate><guid>https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/06/07/post-earnings-sell-off-could-be-incredible-buying/</guid><content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have had a significant impact on many software companies over the last few years.

The IPO price has been set at $135 per share, with plans to sell 555.6 shares. That means the company is raising a massive $75 billion. There is material news flow around the deal, some of it positive and some negative. At this point, there's no way to know if the stock will rise or fall once it starts trading.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are ways for &lt;a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/how-to-invest/stocks/how-to-invest-in-spacex-stock/"&gt;investors to get exposure to the space sector&lt;/a&gt; outside of SpaceX before the company's IPO, if you want to play the potential halo effect across the industry. And &lt;strong&gt;Baron Partners Fund&lt;/strong&gt; has a material investment in the currently private company, with the mutual fund's shareholders standing to benefit if the stock takes off. But there's a risk the shares don't do that, and the IPO halo turns into a crown of thorns for the space sector. The only sure-fire winners in this IPO are likely to be investment banks &lt;strong&gt;Goldman Sachs&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span class="ticker" data-id="203781"&gt;(NYSE: GS)&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Morgan Stanley&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span class="ticker" data-id="206252"&gt;(NYSE: MS)&lt;/span&gt;.

The stock has risen more than 1,070% over the past five years. That turns $10,000 into over $116,680.

The difference is deeper than their use cases; cryptos can have different underlying technologies, governance models, token issuance mechanisms, and ways to generate value. No two cryptocurrencies are the same when you look under the hood.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;XRP&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span class="ticker" data-id="343868"&gt;(CRYPTO: XRP)&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Cardano&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span class="ticker" data-id="343640"&gt;(CRYPTO: ADA)&lt;/span&gt; are good examples of this. Both are popular cryptocurrencies with the potential to disrupt traditional finance, but when you dig deeper, they are poles apart, revealing a major structural problem for XRP.
