I still get lots of questions about how to use $SPX “spreads”

I first learned about them through @johnfcarter s book Mastering The Trade, but didn’t fully understand until my friend @chartsbro shed more knowledge on them

This is one of the videos that helped me really understand what spreads are and how to use them

Watch it.

Market already has this priced in… it’s legal. The circular accounting is nothing new.
What is new is a non-profit AI company colluding with its founders to convert to a For-Profit to enrich themselves.
If they get away with it, then I have some great ideas for @elonmusk using the same playbook 😆

🚨 THE ENTIRE AI BOOM MIGHT BE BUILT ON FAKE REVENUE.

Latest corporate filings show that OpenAI and Anthropic alone make up over half of the entire $2 trillion future cloud backlog held by Microsoft, Oracle, Google, and Amazon.

This massive pipeline is actually being created through a circular accounting trick called a round trip revenue loop.

But how it works ?

A tech giant gives billions of dollars to an AI startup as an "investment". But hidden in the contract is a strict rule forcing the startup to hand that exact same money straight back to the tech giant to rent their computer servers.

Look at the documented case of Microsoft and OpenAI.

When Microsoft invested $13 billion into OpenAI, it didn't just give them cash; it gave them "cloud credits" to use Microsoft servers. OpenAI used those exact credits to train its AI models, and Microsoft then turned around and recorded that server usage as brand new "cloud revenue" from a customer.

The tech giant is literally paying itself with its own money and calling it a sale.

This is why OpenAI’s annual cloud bill has ballooned to over $60 billion, double its actual revenue of $25 billion, kept alive solely by this recycled funding loop.

Anthropic runs the exact same play, spending $2.66 billion on Amazon Web Services in just nine months, which was basically 100% of all the money it earned at the time.

This manufactured demand triggers a second accounting trick where tech giants book massive paper profits. Every time a startup gets a higher value from a new funding round, the tech giant updates the value of its investment on its books and counts that unearned paper gain as direct profit.

In Q1 2026, Alphabet reported a record $62.6 billion profit, but $28.7 billion nearly half, was just a paper markup on its Anthropic investment. In the same quarter, Amazon reported $30.3 billion in profit, but $16.8 billion of it was just an Anthropic paper gain.

While Amazon reported record profits, its actual free cash flow collapsed 95% to just $1.2 billion because it had to spend $44.2 billion in real cash to build physical data centers.

This has created a massive danger where these giant companies rely heavily on just one or two unstable startups. Microsoft has 49% of its $627 billion future backlog tied to OpenAI, while Oracle has an incredible 54% of its entire $553 billion pipeline relying on OpenAI alone.

This perfectly mirrors the 2001 dot-com crash when Global Crossing and Qwest Communications swapped identical fiber-optic network capacity with each other just to book fake sales.

Qwest had to erase $1.4 billion in fake income, and Global Crossing went completely bankrupt.

The only difference is that the dot-com swaps were illegal, but today's AI loop is fully legal under current accounting rules.

This legal loop inflates tech company stock prices, forcing automatic retirement accounts and index funds to buy even more of these tech stocks. It is a self feeding loop where investments, sales, and stock prices all go up on paper without the AI technology ever making real cash profits.

@Denistratos Also, Accounts under $25k will no longer have pattern day trading rules (PDR) starting in June but an intraday margin requirement. So put selling on small stuff may be tough.
Basically, People need to know their shit, otherwise it’s an auto-margin call.

Starling truly is amazing. High speed access has been been turned into a utility for people with money who have to use a cable network.
Think.. rural populations will now have access to AI any place and time they want - no cable, no cellphone tower.

MrBeast just gave one of the strongest endorsements possible for Starlink:

“I will only book flights exclusively on planes with Starlink. I don’t care if it means an extra layover - I’ll sit in the back of the plane if it gives me Starlink.”

He says Starlink has become the backbone of his global productions and travels because it works in places where traditional internet simply doesn’t exist:

• Filming in Antarctica - one of the only reliable ways to stay connected
• Building wells deep in rural Africa with full internet access hours away from cities
• Driving through remote villages and open fields with a Starlink dish mounted on the vehicle while maintaining signal the entire time

He described it as:
“Starlink is literally magic. It makes no sense.”

Now people are actively choosing flights based on whether the plane has Starlink onboard

Hey, quick take on the SpaceX IPO fast-track and the indexes:

1. How will index algos and rebalancing systems handle SpaceX’s rapid addition to SPY? Sudden order-flow pressure, compressed reweighting, and ripple effects across the broader market.
2. What hits the Magnificent Seven? Algo-driven selling pressure on names like Tesla, diluted weights, and even tighter tech concentration in the indexes.
3. Or Does this potentially create a situation where we see it blow off top as liquidity flows into a new position?

I know your responses would be limited here just some questions that I’ve been rolling in my brain.
