Presented by Decentralized Masters: Tan Gera, CFA Charterholder and ex-Wall Street investment banker, took $57k and turned it into $1.87M using BlackRock's system. Learn the exact three-phase framework he reverse-engineered →

Premarket is punishing everything short of perfection this morning. A streaming heavyweight delivered results right in line with expectations and is down double digits for it, a surgical robotics leader posted a clean beat and is getting sold almost as hard, and the memory unwind is rolling into another session, with a scrubbed rocket launch adding to the red.

The green is coming from the old economy: two energy giants are climbing ahead of a multibillion-dollar investment announcement in the Middle East, and a telecom is getting rewarded for cutting costs. In a tape this unforgiving, boring is working.

Dear Reader,

I took $57,000 and turned it into $1.87 million in 18 months.

Not by trading. Not by luck.

By copying the three-phase system BlackRock uses to manage $14 trillion.

I'm Tan Gera, CFA Charterholder and ex-Wall Street investment banker.

I spent two years reverse-engineering BlackRock's exact playbook.

The same framework that generates them $16.1 billion in fees annually.

This system wasn't built for retail investors. It required millions in capital. It required institutional access.

So I rebuilt it for digital assets:

Protection when markets crash.

Income whether they go up or down.

Access to opportunities before they go public.

Over 4,500 investors are using this system now.

It works in any market conditions.

Bill turned $100k into $932k in 18 months. Mark paid off his entire membership in 90 days. Jeff made six figures on a single opportunity.

I call it the ABN System…

BlackRock's three-phase framework adapted for everyday investors with $50k+.

If you already hold digital assets, this system could multiply what you're sitting on right now.

Watch how to copy BlackRock's $14 trillion playbook →

To your wealth,

ConocoPhillips (COP): +2%

The energy giant is climbing alongside BP (BP), also up more than 1%, after CNBC's Brian Sullivan reported the two will announce new investments in Iraq on Friday. Individual commitments haven't been detailed, but people familiar with the matter say the total will run into the billions of dollars, and potentially tens of billions. A number that size is the story before a single detail drops.

Verizon Communications (VZ): +1%

The telecom is edging higher after saying it will sell 274 company-owned retail storefronts and cut about 500 corporate jobs as part of its ongoing restructuring. The market tends to reward a company that keeps finding costs to take out, and this morning is no exception.

Netflix (NFLX): -12%

The streaming giant is down double digits after second-quarter results landed essentially in line with expectations and failed to impress. The company also said it will cut back how often it releases its "What We Watched" engagement reports, which gives investors less visibility into the platform going forward.

Intuitive Surgical (ISRG): -9%

The surgical robotics maker is selling off hard despite a quarter that cleared every bar: earnings and revenue beat estimates, and the company maintained its full-year outlook for roughly 14% growth in procedures using its da Vinci system. When a clean beat gets punished this severely, the market had likely priced in something closer to perfection.

SpaceX (SPCX): -4%

The newly public rocket maker slipped after aborting the launch of its Starship mega rocket. CEO Elon Musk said on X that some engines failed to start, forcing an automatic abort, and promised another attempt in the coming days. For a stock this fresh to public markets, every launch is also an investor event.

Western Digital (WDC): -5%

The memory unwind rolled into another session, with Western Digital leading the group lower as the AI trade came under pressure yet again. The Roundhill Memory ETF (DRAM) fell more than 4% and is pacing to end the week down ~19%, with Micron Technology (MU) and Seagate Technology (STX) also lower. This is no longer a one-day wobble; it is a weekly pattern.

Open your portfolio.

How much of it is in the same 5 stocks everyone owns?

In Q2 2026, that concentration risk is growing.

Meanwhile, most investors are still hiding in the same mega-caps.

That’s not an edge.

We screened the sub-$20 universe using three strict filters:

Only three stocks made the cut.

All under $20.

All fundamentally screened.

Not hype.

Not penny-stock gambling.

If market rotation accelerates, these are the types of names that historically benefit first.

Apple (AAPL)

While the rest of big tech sells off, Apple keeps grinding to fresh records, and retail traders have noticed: the stock was among the top ten trending tickers on StockTwits into Friday morning, with sentiment turning bullish over the past week. Shares are up more than 15% in July, pacing for their best month in nearly four years, and HSBC just upgraded the stock to Buy with a $366 price target.

The next test arrives quickly: Apple reports fiscal third-quarter results on July 30, and analyst views on whether the rally can hold from here are mixed. Whether the run extends or stalls could start to come into focus with that print.

✌️That’s it for today.
