whatcha think
$AMZN plans to open a fully robotic logistics center in Poland in October 2026.
The facility is expected to create more than 1,000 jobs in its first year expanding Amazon’s automation footprint in Europe.
$AMZN is on track to become the first company to cross $1 trillion in annual revenue by 2028.
What makes that possible is that Amazon has become one of the most important infrastructure companies in the world compounding across commerce, cloud, logistics, ads and AI all at once

The market thinks hyperscaler capex is a mistake.
It’s not.
$META, $AMZN & $MSFT aren’t spending because they’re forced to.
They’re spending because demand for compute is breaking supply.
We are not in a “capex bubble.”
We are in a capacity shortage.
Bill Ackman gets it.
Most of the market doesn’t.

🚨 ADOBE INSIDERS FINALLY BUYING
$LLY CEO David Ricks just made a notable insider purchase at $ADBE
Ricks bought 10,000 Adobe shares at an average price of about $194.51, investing roughly $1.95 million of his own money.
Ricks has served as an independent Adobe director since 2018 and sits on Adobe’s Executive Compensation Committee. That means he has spent years closely following the company’s management, strategy and competitive position.
In January 2025, he invested around $1 million at roughly $444 per share. With Adobe now trading near $195, his latest purchase looks like a vote of confidence and an attempt to average down after being a bagholder like the rest of us.
What might it mean?
Ricks appears to be not buying the AI disrupts Adobe narrative.
Is his view that the market has become too pessimistic and Adobe’s profitable subscription business, brand and AI strategy are being undervalued?
Insider buying is not a guarantee that a stock has bottomed, the best example is Ricks himself (earlier purchase is still deeply underwater).
But a director voluntarily putting nearly $2 million of personal capital into the company is a much stronger signal than simply receiving stock compensation. Or, you know, selling the stock... (hi, Shantanu).
So, basically someone with years of direct exposure to Adobe believes the risk/reward has become attractive at these levels.
Interesting...
