@unusual_whales@grok which hedge funds? So is recent noise of SaaS overblown or dying true? Chamath Palihapitiya posted about “Great SaaS Meltdown” is this confirmation?
The good thing about trading?
Even if you never become profitable, you still go on the deepest spiritual journey of your life.
You start wanting money…
you end up discovering:
Your ego issues
Your impulse control problems
Your fear of uncertainty
Your need to be right
You came for profits.
You got forced into self-awareness.
Trading really said:
“Oh you want money? Cool. First fix your entire personality.”
It’s the only industry where before paying you…
it turns you into a better human first
Remember, the only way to lose in the game ‘Monopoly’ is to run out of money.
Therein lies the similarities to trading, you can’t trade anymore if you run out of money.
Despite having a great strategy, you can still lose.
Therefore, trade small. Protect your bankroll and live to trade another day.
No one understands WHAT IS REALLY going on in the economy and stocks regarding the announcements the past 10 days. I will explain the ramifications of all this 📉🫶🏼❤️ Here we go...
Right now, the market is freaking out about something it should actually be celebrating. 🎉
You keep hearing the same headline:
$AMZN $200B in capex
$GOOGL $180B
$META $125–135B
And Wall Street’s reaction is basically: “Too much spending. Bad for earnings. Bad for stock price.” 😡
They’re missing the entire point.
Here’s what most investors are thinking:
“All that money could’ve gone to share buybacks. That would instantly boost EPS. Why waste it on capex?”
But stop and think for a second. What does a share buyback actually do for the real economy?
Almost NOTHING!
It’s financial engineering. It makes earnings per share look better on paper, but it doesn’t create jobs, infrastructure, innovation, or growth.
The money basically disappears into the capital markets.
Now compare that to $200 billion in capex.
People hear that number and imagine it vanishing into some corporate black hole.
That is the opposite of what happens.
When Amazon says “we’re spending $200B,” that money flows everywhere.
It goes to:
– chip designers 📟
– semiconductor manufacturers 💾
– data center builders ⚙️
– construction companies 🏗️
– electricians ⚡
– engineers 👷🏻♂️
– logistics firms 🚚
– truck drivers 🚛
– railroads 🚂
– ports 🏗️
– suppliers 🛠️
– local communities 👷🏻♀️
This isn’t Monopoly money. It’s real economic activity. Take something like TSMC building new facilities in the U.S.
Have you ever seen one of these plants go up? It looks like an NFL stadium being built – except it lasts for YEARS. 💰💰💰
Thousands of workers.
Tons of suppliers.
Entire regional economies are getting lifted.
And that’s just one layer.
All those chips need to be manufactured, shipped, installed, maintained.
Servers need cooling systems, networking, power grids.
Data centers don’t magically appear.
This is economic stimulus on a massive scale.
When companies spend on buybacks, the impact is narrow and financial.
When they spend on capex, the impact is broad and real.
That money ends up in companies’ pockets, workers’ pockets, and eventually consumer pockets.
Which then gets spent again.
That’s how GROWTH cycles actually happen. 📈
So while the market is obsessing over short-term margins and EPS optics, something much bigger is taking place underneath.
We’re entering a multi-year investment cycle led by the biggest, strongest companies in the world.
And that is overwhelmingly positive for the economy.
The panic you’re seeing right now is the market being drama as to be expected.
The long-term implications of this spending spree are not.
Understand the difference.
Ignore the noise.
Follow where the real money is going. 💵
