@QuintenFrancois @Andre_Dragosch This dude has been wrong for the past 5 years. Hope he finally makes a good call. After make 1000 bad ones

Risk appetite is skyrocketing:

Assets under management (AUM) in US leveraged ETFs are up to a record $177 billion.

Since the March bottom, total leveraged ETF AUM has surged +$45 billion.

Tech-oriented ETFs account for the majority of total AUM, at ~69%

This comes as technology AUM stands at $65 billion, followed by semiconductors at $32 billion, and the Magnificent 7 at $25 billion.

Furthermore, leveraged ETF AUM linked to the S&P 500 is $24 billion.

To put this into perspective, total leveraged ETF AUM was just ~$30 billion in 2020.

Investors are piling into leveraged funds at a record pace.

Been eyeing this in the past couple of days. Couldn’t agree more!

$ETOR is trading at ~3.9x EV/FCF just putting that out there.

$2.6B MC, $1.2B of it is in cash.

Then they’re doing est. $350-$380m FCF for 2026, modeling 1% interest rate cuts.

And growing too.

Valuation seems a bit absurd when you have Walmart out there at 42.2 p/e.

@Architect9000 True, but banks have way stricter rules to comply to.

[Lukas Ekwueme @ekwufinance]

The UK is regulating itself into irrelevance.

The plan was to build 531 km of high-speed rail.

Before laying track, contractors had to:

- Complete a 350-page “social value” assessment
- Guarantee 30% female representation
- Guarantee 20% ethnic-minority representation

The outcome was predictable.

- Original timeline: 2010-2026
- After years of delays and overruns, ~50% of the project was cancelled
- Remaining construction now stretches beyond 2033
- Cost: ~£70B for just 40% of the route (~£311M per km)

Meanwhile, China:

- Built ~50,000 km of high-speed rail in 17 years
- Averaging ~3,000 km per year
- At a cost of ~£14M per km

China builds high-speed rail ~200x faster and ~22x cheaper.

Now apply the same regulatory mindset to the energy transition....
and the scale of waste becomes obvious.

$COIN - BANK OF AMERICA UPGRADES COINBASE TO BUY

Bank of America upgraded Coinbase to Buy, citing accelerating product expansion, strategic shifts, and a more attractive valuation. The bank highlighted a 40% pullback from July highs alongside improving second-half product momentum.

BofA pointed to Coinbase’s expansion into stocks, ETFs, and prediction markets, its Base layer-2 network as a key infrastructure growth driver, and Coinbase Tokenize as a catalyst for real-world asset tokenization. With the P/E multiple down about 40% from mid-2024 levels, BofA reiterated its $340 price target, implying roughly 38% upside, and sees Coinbase as a long-term leader heading into 2026.
