Echoes of the Dot-Com Bubble? Tech & Semis Flash Warning Signs
If the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ finishes the year with a 10%+ gain, it will be only the 2nd time in the history of the $SPX that it has had 4 straight years of double-digit returns.

The CEOs Building Tomorrow's Giants Take Big Risks Today
Something different. As an investor, I look for what I call "ambitious failures". CEOs moving quickly, taking big swings, and striking out every once in awhile is not necessarily a bad thing. Big thinkers and innovators play big. But as a shareholder betting on asymmetric returns, I WANT my leadership to play fast + play BIG. Couple examples of founders moving fast, playing big (and sometimes flopping): > bezos launched $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ 's fire phone, it flopped > $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ zuckerberg went all in on metaverse, flopped > $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$ 's nft marketplace flopped > $GameStop(GME)$
While video games have historically been looked down on as something “only kids do”,that is no longer the case. Technological advances have made video games better, more engaging, and easier to play than ever before. Today, video games are popular with adults and kids alike and are a fast-growing $330B industry poised for rapid changes. With $6.6B in revenues, $Take-Two(TTWO)$ is the 10th largest video game company in the world! However, T2’s fortunes are set to change rapidly, with the release of the most anticipated entertainment product in human history. Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to be released on 19 November 2026. I firmly believe that GTA 6 will be completely transformative for the company, with sales and profits way above current analyst e
$IREN Under Pressure: Is the Warriors Sponsorship a Strategic Mistake?
I have had a chance to think, and in my opinion, $IREN Ltd(IREN)$ spending $50M on Golden State Warriors sponsorship is moronic. IREN is a B2B infrastructure provider that largely focuses on serving the multi-hundred-billion-dollar hyperscaler AI demand. This is a waste of money that doesn't help them one bit with this objective. For an unprofitable company that had $234M in operating losses last quarter and that needs billions of dollars of capital to waste $50M a year on a B2C sponsorship is absolutely moronic. This is truly stupid, and the market justifiedly sold the stock. This is a very bad judgement call from the Roberts brothers. However, the company has strong AI assets, and on the grand scheme of things, $50M a year is not that much. Neve
One Stop Systems: Enabling Military and Physical AI!
So far, AI infrastructure spending has been concentrated in data centers. Companies like $NVIDIA(NVDA)$$Microsoft(MSFT)$$Amazon.com(AMZN)$$Alphabet(GOOG)$ have driven demand for dense GPU servers operating in huge, stable, climate-controlled data centers. While the majority of the AI demand will indeed be served from these purpose-designed data centers, there is a large and growing subset of the AI industry that cannot be served from these on-the-ground data centers. And that is Physical and Military AI. The next stage for AI is moving out of the data center. Instead of sending sensor data back to the cloud, organizat
