🚨 4 HIDDEN STOCKS BEHIND THE AI BOOM — EP.06
Everyone sees the GPUs. But AI needs an entire physical machine around them:
⚡ $AGX — Generate the power
🔌 $FPS — Distribute the power
🌐 $SMTC — Move the data
❄️ $WOR — Remove the heat
AI isn’t just a chip story. It’s an infrastructure story.
@DefiDragans@YouTube Fair point, but low orbit is only ~500 km up so the light delay is a few milliseconds. I think cooling (radiators only, no air) and launch cost are the bigger problems. The 2027 laser-link test will be interesting.
🚀 SPACEX STOCK JUMPS 7% AFTER 3 LAUNCHES IN 13 HOURS
SpaceX pulled off an extraordinary tripleheader:
👨🚀 NASA Crew-13 → ISS
🛰️ Transporter-18 → 130 payloads, including Google’s orbital AI prototype
🇺🇸 Falcon Heavy → classified NRO mission Benzinga
$SPCX surged 7%+ near $159 today.
ROCKETS → STARLINK → NATIONAL SECURITY → ORBITAL AI
SpaceX is becoming much more than a launch company.
@DefiDragans The striking part isn’t just the drones — it’s autonomous warfare becoming important enough to justify its own four-star command. Experiments → doctrine → infrastructure. That’s a major shift.
🚨 THE PENTAGON WANTS A 4-STAR COMMAND FOR AUTONOMOUS WARFARE.
The proposed AutoWarCom would scale drones, robotics and AI-enabled autonomous systems across the U.S. military — with dedicated budgets, acquisition authority and career paths. (:-Reuters)
Target: October 2027, subject to congressional authorization.
Drones → Robotics → AI → Autonomous Warfare
This is no longer just military experimentation. It’s becoming military infrastructure.
🚨 TRUMP ADMINISTRATION REPORTEDLY PLANS A $4B NUCLEAR LOAN FOR VISTRA
The financing would help upgrade 3 Vistra nuclear plants as U.S. electricity demand surges — increasingly driven by power-hungry AI data centers. TradingView
Vistra already has major nuclear power agreements with Amazon + Meta. Vistra Corp. Investor Relations
AI DATA CENTERS → POWER DEMAND → NUCLEAR EXPANSION → $VST
The AI infrastructure race is becoming an energy race.
🚨 ANTHROPIC WANTS TO TRAIN 10,000 “FRONTIER DEPLOYED ENGINEERS”
#Anthropic is investing $100M in its new Claude Frontier Academy.
Engineers from Morgan Stanley, Deloitte, McKinsey, Accenture + others will train, then spend 12 weeks deploying real Claude projects inside their organizations.
The AI race is shifting:
Build the models → train the workforce → deploy AI everywhere.
@DefiDragans Pretty much the direction it’s heading — except instead of mortgages backing the financing, it’s billions of dollars of GPUs generating AI compute. If these structures scale, silicon could become a whole new class of financeable infrastructure assets. Wild to watch.
🚨 AMAZON WANTS WALL STREET TO FINANCE $8B OF NVIDIA CHIPS
Amazon is reportedly exploring moving ~$8B of Grace Blackwell GPUs into an investor-backed vehicle — then leasing the chips back.
Think about that:
Investors → finance GPUs → Amazon leases them → GPUs generate AI compute
AI chips aren't just infrastructure anymore.
They're becoming financial assets.
$AMZN $NVDA
This could become one of the biggest infrastructure questions of the AI-agent era.
If billions of autonomous agents eventually buy data, compute and services from each other, they'll need a financial layer built for machines.
AI agents may need their own economy. 👀
🚨 NVIDIA IS KNOCKING ON THE DOOR OF A NEW HIGH.
$NVDA is testing the ~$236 area as the catalysts stack up:
• Morgan Stanley: Top Pick
• $300 price target
• $235B buyback capacity
• AI demand still accelerating
• Treasury yields falling today
$236–237 is the level to watch.
A clean breakout could put NVIDIA back into price discovery. 👀
🚨 GPT-6 ASTRA CRACKED A 217-YEAR-OLD NAPOLEONIC CIPHER.
Starting with a single scan, Astra transcribed ~1,300 encrypted symbols, found a partial key, built a solver and decoded the rest — in roughly 6 hours of model time.
It even helped correct the letter’s date from 1807 → 1809 by cross-checking historical records.
Vision → Research → Coding → Cryptanalysis
AI just unlocked a message hidden for more than two centuries.
🚨 AI IS MOVING DEEPER INTO CYBERSECURITY.
Google’s Gemini 4 Argon can autonomously find, validate + patch vulnerabilities, while OpenAI is pushing Astra deeper into cyber.
But cyber stocks aren’t broadly selling off today — $PANW , $CRWD , $FTNT and $ZS are actually higher.
The bigger question:
Will frontier AI disrupt cybersecurity companies — or make their platforms far more powerful? 👀
🚨 TRUMP: U.S. COULD TAKE STAKES IN AI GIANTS
Asked whether the U.S. government could take equity in OpenAI, Anthropic and other frontier AI companies — similar to its Intel stake — Trump said:
“I might. Maybe I could do that.”
Not a confirmed policy yet.
But the direction is striking:
Regulate AI → Fund AI → Own part of AI
The U.S. government could eventually become a shareholder in the frontier AI race.
🚨 AI IS BOOMING — BUT 5.3% TREASURY YIELDS ARE FIGHTING THE RALLY.
Micron crushed earnings. AI demand remains huge.
Yet $MU fell ~2% as the U.S. 10Y briefly hit 5.34% — the highest since 2002.
AI earnings ↑
Cost of money ↑
Valuations under pressure
The AI trade isn’t dead. Money is getting expensive.
🚨 MICRON CRUSHED EARNINGS — BUT THE STOCK BARELY MOVED.
$MU Q4 revenue hit $54.23B, adjusted EPS $33.42, while Q1 revenue guidance came in at $61.5B ± $1.5B.
AI-driven HBM and data-center demand remain exceptionally strong.
Yet $MU barely reacted after hours.
Why? Expectations were already sky-high after the stock’s massive run.
AI demand is booming — but at these valuations, even blowout earnings may not be enough.
🚨 GOOGLE UNVEILS GEMINI 4 ARGON
Google’s new frontier model leads 12 of 16 benchmarks in its published comparison against GPT-6 Astra and Claude.
Built for complex workflows, coding + cyber defense.
But Google isn’t broadly releasing it yet.
Capability ↑ → caution ↑
Lots of discussion out there about our next model(!), so I wanted to give an early look as soon as possible. Introducing Gemini 4 Argon!
It shows frontier performance in complex workflows, cyber defense and software engineering. Teams are using it extensively at Google, from coding to quantum computing, great feedback.
Here’s a look at the benchmarks:
🚨 AMAZON JUST SIGNED A $1B+ DEAL WITH SYNOPSYS.
AWS is expanding its use of $SNPS chip IP as Amazon pushes deeper into custom silicon — including Trainium AI accelerators and Graviton CPUs.
AWS → CUSTOM CHIPS → AI COMPUTE
$AMZN $SNPS
