๐งญ Discipline over emotion | Process over predict
August Core PCE: 3.0% vs. 3.3% expected.
Inflation came in cooler than feared, taking some pressure off the Fed heading into October.
A hike is still on the table, but the case for moving again this soon just got weaker.
Good news for risk assets. ๐
Another step forward for $ASTS ๐
BlueBirds 14, 15 and 16 are on the move.
The story now comes down to execution and launch cadence.
Can $ASTS keep delivering?
Another convoy is on the move.
BlueBirds 14, 15, and 16 have left our Texas facility and are on the road to Cape Canaveral.
Next stop: orbit. ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
The largest commercial communications arrays ever deployed in low Earth orbit. A scalable platform to deliver space-based cellular broadband connectivity directly to standard phones, support secure government applications, and deliver a new third layer of connectivity.
In Midland, Texas, production continues to advance through BlueBird 50, with more than 20 spacecraft structures now being integrated as part of our assembly process.
One constellation. Connectivity. Resilience. Security. Built in Texas. ๐บ๐ธ๐๐ถ๐ฑ

$150B more in buybacks is a pretty strong statement.
Nvidia clearly has confidence in its cash generation and the long term AI opportunity.
But hereโs the real question:
Is $NVDA actually cheap here, or is the market pricing in slower growth ahead?
Big move from $AMD.
$8.2B for Fei-Fei Liโs World Labs, plus Li joining AMD as Chief Scientist.
AMD is clearly thinking beyond chips.
Is this the beginning of a much broader AI strategy?
AI agents are starting to show different strengths.
Instinct appears stronger in intelligence, while Muse wins on speed and responsiveness.
But which one will users actually prefer?
A smarter AI that thinks deeper, or a faster AI that reacts instantly?
Gold and silver are taking a hit today, but the bigger debate is just starting.
Are rising yields a sign of economic strength, or a warning about future inflation and debt levels?
Curious to see how the market prices this over the next few months.
Gold and silver are hammered this morning on the continued rise in bond yields. Gold is down just under $140 and silver is down almost $3. But a bond bear market is very bullish for precious metals, as it means a weaker U.S. economy, rising budget deficits, and higher inflation.
Watching $ARM ๐
The stock is building a new base after its recent cycle.
With its royalty model and partnerships with Apple, Samsung, and Qualcomm, ARM remains a key semiconductor name to watch.
Follow for updates.

Healthcare could be an interesting sector to watch next.
$XLV is showing signs of strength after building a potential base.
Some names on my radar:
$LLY $JNJ $ABBV $MRK $UNH $TMO $AMGN $GILD $ABT $PFE
Letโs see if healthcare can become the next area of rotation.
AI slowdown?
Anthropic just committed $11.6B to Akamai over 7 years.
Akamai expects ~$5.5B in capex with another $1.7B in 2026 to secure critical components including memory.
AI infrastructure demand still looks very real.
$AKAM $AMD $MU
$AXTI caught my attention.
The stock is starting to coil while optics and semiconductor names show improving strength.
Not a prediction, just a setup Iโm tracking closely as AI infrastructure continues to evolve.
Follow along, Iโll share updates as this develops.
So let me get this straight
The average stock is doing much better than gold and by your own math gold is already in a bear market?
Am I missing something?
The S&P 500 is 0.7% below a record high, yet 430 of those stocks are 21.7% below their highs. That means on average 86% of the stocks are in a bear market. Breadth has only been this bad twice, in January 1973 and in 1999/2000. On both occasions, the S&P then crashed nearly 50%
10 trading lessons I learned the hard way:

One theme โ diversification
FOMO? Start small
Scale in and out
Trim into euphoria
Buy into fear
Respect fast selloffs
Control emotions
Manage the portfolio as a system
