📊 The Record-Breaking Numbers (May 26, 2026)
Total Share Volume: 74,962,490 shares
Dollar Volume Traded: $65.96 Billion USD 
The Baseline Comparison: This massive spike represents an increase of nearly 75% above Micron's already high 3-month trailing average daily volume of roughly 43 million shares.
Why the Volume Exploded Yesterday
A high volume print of nearly 75 million shares on a stock priced near $900 is fundamentally different from a 75-million share day back when the stock was trading at $60. It means an astronomical amount of institutional cash changed hands.
This was driven by a perfect storm of three major factors:
1 The $1.3 Trillion Institutional Scramble: The main catalyst was UBS analyst Timothy Arcuri dropping a note that shocked the street, aggressively raising Micron's 12-month price target to an unprecedented $1,625 (up from $535). This forced large institutional growth funds that were underweight memory infrastructure to aggressively buy the tape at any price to catch up to their benchmarks. 
2 The Trillion-Dollar Club Milestone: The massive buying pressure temporarily pushed Micron's market capitalization past the $1 Trillion USD mark for the first time in corporate history, hitting an intraday high of $916.80 before settling cleanly at $895.88. 
3 Massive Options Gamma Squeeze: Hours before the cash market opened, unusual options block activity caught the street's attention—specifically multi-million dollar sweeps on January 2027 $1,400 call options. As the stock tore through short-term resistance levels, options market makers were forced to aggressively buy millions of shares of underlying stock to hedge their books, accelerating the vertical melt-up. 
Yesterday's volume bar confirms that this wasn't retail speculation; it was a massive, structural re-allocation of institutional capital right into the heart of the hardware memory trade.

Th Economic Gap has become a canyon since 2015. 🇨🇦🇺🇸

While both hit 8% inflation in 2022, the recovery paths have left the average Canadian feeling significantly "poorer" in real terms.

Here is the data on the "Lost Decade." 🧵

💰 Purchasing Power & Salaries:

The average income-adjusted purchasing power in Canada is now 27.5% lower than in the US.

• Avg US Net Salary: ~$4,252 USD • Avg Canada Net Salary: ~$3,043 USD

Canada has a higher "floor" for low wages, but a much lower "ceiling" for professionals.

🏠 The Housing & Essentials Crisis:

Housing is the primary wealth-killer in Canada.

• Rent (1BR): $2,500-$3,500 CAD (TO/Van) vs $1,700 USD (US Avg)
• Groceries: 20-30% more expensive in Canada.

• Vancouver is now the least affordable market in ALL of North America. 📉

🇨🇦 Canada: "Free" healthcare & $10/day childcare, but your paycheck buys less and housing eats your income.

🇺🇸 USA: Higher salaries & cheaper goods, but higher risk of "financial surprises" from health/edu.

Bottom line: Canada’s per capita GDP has stagnated since 2015.

[HendyIsTruth ™ @hendyMD]

This is about Foreign investment, productivity, per capita GDP (Collective lack thereof) redistribution of wealth via deficit spending, taxation and food subsidies for the poor. Our economy is a train wreck.

1. GDP Per Capita: The "Lost Decade

"Canada’s per capita GDP growth has become its most critical economic challenge.

Ranking: Canada has had the lowest rate of economic growth per person in the G7 over the last decade. While total GDP has grown, per capita GDP has declined in five of the past six quarters and is currently near levels first observed in 2017.

The U.S. Gap: The "wealth gap" with the U.S. has widened dramatically. In 2015, Canada’s per capita GDP was about 80% of the U.S. level; by 2026, it has fallen to approximately 67% of the U.S. level.

OECD Forecast: The OECD projects Canada to be the worst-performing economy among all 39 member countries through 2030 in terms of per capita growth.

2. Labor Productivity and Capital Stock

The decline in per capita wealth is directly tied to Canada's inability to get more value out of each hour worked.

Productivity Gap: Canada’s productivity gain since 1981 was 61%, while the U.S. achieved 127% during the same period.

Investment per Worker: Canada's capital stock per worker remains below the OECD average. Business investment in 2026 is projected to be flat or even negative, as firms prioritize short-term survival over long-term tech and infrastructure upgrades.

3. Entrepreneurial Participation: A Sharp Decline

Entrepreneurship, often called the "heartbeat of innovation," has been in a long-term downward trend in Canada.

Self-Employment: In 2000, self-employment was 16.1% of total employment; by 2025, it dropped to 12.9%, the lowest in decades.

Employer Businesses: The number of self-employed people with paid employees peaked in 2005 (867,000) and has fallen to 716,000 in 2025—an 18% decline despite a much larger population.

New Firm Creation: In 2023, new firm creation sat at 12.3%, roughly half the rate (25%) Canada saw in the early 1980s.

4. Foreign Direct Investment (The Bright Spot) "Selling Canada and its resources to the rest of the world"

Paradoxically, Canada remains highly attractive to global capital, though much of this is driven by mergers and acquisitions rather than new "greenfield" projects.

2025 Performance: FDI in Canada reached $96.8 billion in 2025, the highest level since 2007. Over half of this investment originated from the United States.

Sector Focus: The largest recipients of this investment are trade, transportation, and manufacturing.

OECD Standing: Canada ranks 2nd in the G20 for its FDI stock-to-GDP ratio and 1st in the G7 for per-capita direct investment inflows.

Comparison Summary
Metric Canada vs. OECD/G7

Per Capita GDP Growth Last in G7; 39th of 39 in OECD (Projected to 2030).
Labor Productivity Significantly below US; Lags most peers in hourly output.

Entrepreneurship Declining; self-employment at multi-decade lows.

1. G7 Ranking: Government Employment (as % of Total Employment)

Based on OECD data, France consistently leads the G7, with nearly one in four workers employed by the state.

Country % of Total Employment (Gov)
France~21–22%
Canada~19–21%
United Kingdom~16–17%
Italy~13–14%
United States~14–15%
Germany~10–11%
Japan~6–8%2.

Does a High Percentage Help or Hinder?

The impact of a large public sector is one of the most debated topics in macroeconomics. There is no "perfect" number, as the result depends on efficiency rather than just size.

How it can Help (The "Nordic Model" argument):

Social Stability: Large public sectors often provide universal healthcare, education, and social safety nets, which can reduce inequality and improve long-term "human capital."

Counter-cyclical Buffer: During recessions, government employment remains stable, preventing the massive spikes in unemployment that occur in purely private-sector economies

Infrastructure & Research: State-led investment in "moonshot" technologies or essential infrastructure can provide the foundation for private companies to grow.

How it can Hinder (The "Crowding Out" argument):

Fiscal Burden: Large public workforces require high taxation to sustain. As you noted in your recent research on Canada's per capita GDP, high taxes can sometimes discourage private investment and innovation.

Productivity Drag: Public sectors often lack the competitive pressure of the private market, which can lead to bureaucratic "bloat" and slower adoption of new technologies.

The "Crowding Out" Effect: If the government hires a large portion of the most educated talent, it can make it harder and more expensive for private startups to find the skilled workers they need to grow.

The Verdict for Canada

Canada currently sits in the "High" category for the G7. While this has provided a stable job market and robust social services, many economists link Canada’s stagnating productivity and declining entrepreneurial participation to a growing imbalance where the public sector expands while private business investment remains flat.

@johnnylightnin @mdubowitz @nationalpost Been long Nvidia for size since 2015 mate ... you figure out the rest

[HendyIsTruth ™ @hendyMD]

@johnnylightnin @mdubowitz @nationalpost Deficits & carbon taxes are inflationary. Flawed regulation & high taxes destroy economies. Sabotaging trade relationships for votes is destructive. A physical Gold & silver short squeeze does not make an economy. Canada is less prosperous than Alabama. Not happy

[HendyIsTruth ™ @hendyMD]

@WeAreCanProud I can sum that up for you PP ... and if you understood Austrian Economics you could be more more succinct. Every dollar the Government spends in excess of its net revenue is inflationary spending. Deficits are inflation. that's it, that's the answer.
