  • Blueberry Funded Review: Broker-Backed Prop Trading
    Jun 4 2025

    In this episode we're breaking down Blueberry Funded’s offerings, a rare prop firm anchored to an ASIC and VFSC regulated broker–Blueberry Markets. Prop trading firms often promise trader friendly terms, yet few deliver institutional grade infrastructure. What sets Blueberry Funded apart? Authentic ECN execution, verifiable crypto payouts processing in under 48 hours, and a structured scaling path to $2M capital.

    We pressure-tested Blueberry Funded using our CLEAR™ framework, validating its 4.7/5 certification across six pillars. While Blueberry’s no refund policy and no weekend support draw criticism, our platform stress tests confirm its execution integrity, particularly on MT5 where latency averaged 80-130ms during volatile events. For traders prioritizing regulatory transparency over instant scaling, this may represent a maturation point for the prop industry.

  • UnitedHealth ($UNH) at 5-Year Lows – A Rare Buying Opportunity?
    May 21 2025

    Welcome back to The Clean Slate podcast brought to you by CleaRank, your go-to source for making sense of dynamic markets.

    Today, we're addressing something very intriguing, UnitedHealth Group ($UNH), an overlooked opportunity in the dynamic markets. We know what you might be thinking: healthcare, a huge company, perhaps a bit boring... right? But trust us when we say that you're going to want to hear this.

    UNH's stock price recently had a sharp drop, hitting a five year low. The big question our analysts are addressing in this episode is what on earth happened to them? They’ll break down all the reasons behind this nosedive, but more importantly, understand if this situation actually presents an incredible chance for us, as investors, to jump in.

    Of course, it's not all sunshine and rainbows, but here's what it all boils down to: Is this recent dip in $UNH just the market getting a little too emotional? Or are we looking at a truly exceptional opportunity for us to buy into a leading healthcare giant for a fantastic price?

    So grab a coffee, make sure you settle in, because we need to crunch some data together and dissect the reasoning behind our analysis and the massive potential that might be hiding in plain sight.

  • TradingMoon Review: High-Risk Practices and Troubling Regulation
    Apr 22 2025

    Welcome to The Clean Slate Podcast by CleaRank. Today we're sharing the findings of our investigation on TradingMoon—A high-risk broker. TradingMoon is a Seychelles-regulated CFD broker that received a concerning 2.0/5 CLEAR™ Score by our analysts, reflecting its high-risk profile.

    A closer look revealed troubling regulatory gaps and high-risk practices that are designed to trap traders and cannot be ignored. If you heard about TradingMoon from one of its bonus schemes, such as the “$888 Lucky Money” offers, do not fall for it: your capital faces severe risks.

    TradingMoon’s connection with Skilling definitely raises concerns for illegal U.S./UK targeting and its Tier 3 Seychelles license offers zero investor protection. Only trade with brokers that have at least one Tier 1 regulator backing it. CleaRank's verdict is clear: Avoid this broker and trust only the best CLEAR™ Certified Brokers with your funds. Read more about our findings and full analysis in our TradingMoon Review.

      1. Palantir (PLTR): Skyrocketed by 245% over the past year, fueled by sticky government contracts (think defense and healthcare) and surging demand from corporations using its AI-driven data platforms.
      2. Micron (MU): Riding the “DRAM tsunami,” with data center upgrades and AI workloads driving demand for high-bandwidth memory. Its cost-cutting moves and tech leadership in DDR5 and HBM3E chips position it to outpace rivals
      3. Karman Holdings (KRMN): Boasts a debt-free balance sheet and a record-high $600 million backlog. The Pentagon’s newly announced “Golden Dome” initiative significantly boosts the company’s growth prospects.
      4. Netflix (NFLX): Netflix’s password-sharing crackdown and ad-tier subscriptions are paying off. Engagement remains strong, with hits like Star Wars: Skeleton Crew and Stranger Things Season 5 propping up its content moat.
      5. Philip Morris (PM): With a 75% gain over the past year, Philip Morris is a haven for income seekers. Its smoke-free products such as the IQOS now account for 40% of revenue, and its dividend yield remains juicy at 4.8%.
