GPT-6 Astra could change the AI trade in ways Wall Street isn’t ready for. Today on Dumb Money, are you in the wrong AI stocks?

Tesla’s Cybercab is finally on the streets with no steering wheel, no pedals and nobody behind the wheel. The launch left investors with plenty of unanswered questions, but the robotaxi itself is suddenly very real.

Today on Dumb Money: Tesla’s Robotaxi Is Finally Real—Now What Happens to $TSLA?

Today on Dumb Money, one of our favorite trade genres seems to be back.

Flip-flops are having a moment. Not sneakers. Not slides. The $20 rubber thong sandal you wore in third grade is suddenly everywhere... runways, Hailey Bieber, Zoë Kravitz. It's a city shoe now.

Wall Street hasn't noticed yet. The obvious stock isn't the trade. The real trade is a company most of you have never heard of, trading in a currency you don't own, pulling 99% of its revenue from one brand.

Today on Dumb Money, the trade nobody sees coming.

We break down how a $750 Row flip-flop started it all, why the Brazilian company behind Havaianas is the pure play (and why it's nearly impossible to trade as a U.S. investor), the Interactive Brokers struggle that almost killed this episode, and the sympathy trade in Birkenstock that could ride the summer surge.

We also dig into why this flip-flop trend has serious legs beyond summer 2026, our summer investing philosophy (sell in May and actually go away), the Bloom Energy scandal drama heating up again (Theranos 2.0 or just short seller noise?), Chris's pickup truck confession, new Dumb Money merch, and the secret Gen Z women's podcast we're launching later this year.

If you're hunting for consumer trends Wall Street is sleeping on, this is the edge.

Today on Dumb Money, we break down the Caesar wrap that seems to have taken over the internet and why we think it could be signaling something much bigger for the stock behind it.
