$NBIS has nailed the capital markets strategy.
It uses the the earnings window to prove to the investors that their AI infrastructure has massive traction and positive unit economics.
Exactly one week after dropping those blowout metrics it launches it biggest capital raise. $4.50B private placement of convertible senior notes which was most recently announced.
Pure institutional corporate debt would be prohibitively expensive for a company burning this much cash so they stick to convertible notes.
Institutional buyers accept a lower interest rate in exchange for the potential upside of converting that debt into Class A equity later.
Once the raise is complete they go ahead and make massive deal announcements to calm investor sentiments like the The Bloom Energy Power Infrastructure Deal.
The used the same playbook in the March 2026 Cycle where they launched $3.75B offering and upsized it to $4.34B due to demand
They did this in September 2025 Cycle as well when they launched $2B and upsized it to $2.75B
I foresee they will continue to execute on this playbook and build the AI infrastructure.
Compute is scaling faster than power can keep up with and operators are calling electricity the core bottleneck. The power trade isn't crowded. It's early.
$NBIS $CRWV $IREN $EOSE
$QQQM vs $QQQ β same index, same returns.
But $QQQM costs 15bps vs 20bps for $QQQ.
Over 30 years that gap compounds into real money.
In a Roth IRA? Every basis point saved = tax-free gains kept.
Small swap. Big difference.
@SCHDETF I love them both and i do own them as well and continue to add to those positions. The goal is to create a waterfall where week 1 payers feed into next weeks payers and continue to grow dividend income over time.
$NVDA is preparing a China-specific AI inference chip using Groq-licensed technology designed to stay inside export rules.
Small-batch shipments by year-end with customers already placing orders.
The headline is China chip. The actual story is that Nvidia found a legal path back into the world's second largest AI market. That's not a footnote.
Secured power is the most under appreciated asset in AI right now.
One MW produces roughly $1.5M in bitcoin mining. That same MW generates ~$4M in colocation and ~$10M in full-stack AI compute.
That spread explains everything happening with $CIFR $WULF $CORZ $RIOT and why $IREN was early.
$NBIS and $CRWV are already clustering near that ~$20M-$40M figure. $SPCX is targeting ~$40M per active MW as it scales toward 10GW.
The asset is the same. The operator makes all the difference.
$GOOGL Waymo just cut robotaxi hardware costs from ~$115K per vehicle to ~$20K with its 6th-gen system.
That is an 83% cost collapse driven by a custom 5nm chip capable of 1,000 TOPS handling camera, lidar and radar data in real time.
Everyone is focused on the autonomous miles. Nobody is talking about what happens to unit economics when the hardware bill drops by six figures per car.
The moat is not the miles. It is the vertical integration that makes those miles cheaper than anyone else can replicate.
@WealthCoachMak Well said. It is important to understand market risk and your own personal appetite for it as well. Also as Coach says focus on stocks which you don't mind holding if they get assigned. Once you learn you are on your path to financial independence.
Sold 4 $SPCX Feb 2027 $90 puts for $1,832 credit.
Breakeven $85.42, roughly 37% below spot.
5.1% on $36K collateral over 6 months and ~10% annualized.
Two acceptable outcomes: keep the premium or own SpaceX a third cheaper than it trades today.
Sold 15 $NBIS Feb 2027 $150 puts. For $31,274 credit.
Breakeven $129.15, roughly 40% below spot.
13.9% on $225K collateral over 6 months, ~28% annualized.
@YoDooley As a value investor I think $SPCX in the short term is highly overvalued just based on fundamentals. But if you are in it for the long term like 5-10 years I do believe it is going to worth a lot more.
Anthropic could file for its IPO by end of August with a public listing as early as October.
Expected to rival or surpass $SPCX record IPO size.
For context $AMZN just disclosed that $53.4B of its $62.6B Q2 net income came from marking up its Anthropic stake. 85% of their profit was one investment appreciating.
Now that investment wants its own public float.
The AI arms race is about to get a price tag. πΏ
@Alice_MiaX This is exactly why I prefer $QQQI for growth and stability. But I am building a small position in $XQQI for the extra boost. I do think $XQQI is a good buy while it is under $50 so I will continue to add some.
@TheAlphaThought This is exactly why I prefer to manage my reinvestments manually. Plus I prefer to invest in stocks which pay next and create a loop which continues to grow the next payout.
