Whether it’s AI demand or player sentiment heading into the GTA VI release, you’ll never get to ground truth by lazily relying on what algorithms surface: copy/paste headlines and viral investor takes often driven by confirmation bias.
Go to the source. Small accounts. Real people who actually consume the product, not those clouded by the trade. $TTWO
Josh Kushner is becoming one of the greatest investors ever
He’s worth $16.1 billion and just bought the LA Lakers
This letter from him is a must read for investors:
The world's greatest social arb trader is long $TTWO.
I have the exact same thesis, but took everything he taught me and went long the real mispriced GTA bet in $SONY, with the largest options trade I've ever made.
Chris is the goat, but think I've got the bigger upside here.
$AMD low volume, choppy looking pullback that's starting to set up a Higher Low here as we speak...

Looking for a move higher(as early as tomorrow) going into next week, which would solidify a Higher Low as the stock continues to maneuver out of a consolidation pattern

Anthropic expects to match $SPCX record IPO size or top it.
Implies $75B+ at $1.8T+ valuation. Anthropic already has more ARR than SPCX so seems reasonable. Should unlock a lot of investment-grade borrowing capacity to build and buy compute.

What the government is doing now is the equivalent of holding a 30-year mortgage at a 3% interest rate and refinancing it into a 4% one-year adjustable-rate mortgage.
In other words, you are replacing longer-term, lower-cost debt with shorter-term, higher-cost debt.
Now apply that to trillions of US dollars.
That is effectively what the US Treasury is being forced to do as long-term yields surge.
Unfortunately, the Treasury is largely playing the hand it has been dealt.
The next phase of the US deficit spending crisis began today.
Why stocks are selling off:
- vix was at a 2yr low yesterday, any level of volatility up was going to take stocks down
- 10yr treasury bond is above 4.7% and 30yr is 5.3% which just not sustainable at these levels, last time we were pushing these yields, the S&P was down 30%
- japan 30yr yields surged above 4%, highest in history…just not good
- trump posted that the US is having no conversations with Iran, more uncertainty
- tech names had a very solid first two weeks of August, giving back some of those gains is natural but given they rallied so hard, the downturn ends up being ugly as well even though these names are still very green from the lows
basically, not an earnings/ai bubble story for the selloff
feels more like a bond yields/trump iran uncertainty story
