Palantir sells governments a war room that costs millions a year.

So, a guy named Elie just rebuilt it, put it on GitHub, and gave it away.

It's called World Monitor.

Open it and you get a live 3D globe with 500+ news feeds pouring in across 15 categories, all summarized by AI as they land.

> Military movements.
> Economic shocks.
> Natural disasters.
> Cyber incidents.
> Flight paths.
> Shipping lanes.

+ 56 different map layers you can stack on top of each other.

It scores 31 countries on a stress index and updates the number as things happen.

It watches 29 stock exchanges, commodities, and crypto in one panel.

It runs local AI through Ollama, so you can use the whole thing without a single API key.

@GBC_Press I happen to be from New York but I enjoyed the halftime show. What's wrong with a little music to bring people together? These days everyone finds a reason to hate something - even when it's free or you can change the channel or contact a friend or something.

@A_Hollywood1776 @unusual_whales Honestly, this weird fake good news has been pumping the market quite well overall. Terrible for those who tried to short, however.

Keep posting this so people don’t forget how truly bad this event was.

Don’t let people gaslight you into thinking it was peaceful and worthy of 1500+ pardons and slush fund payoffs.

Trump just got exposed for running the biggest insider trading operation in American history.

Nancy Pelosi traded $5 million in stocks and Congress lost its mind.

Trump literally executed $750 MILLION worth of stock trades in ONE quarter while being President.

His ethics filing just dropped and the numbers are genuinely unprecedented in history:

Between January and March 2026, Donald Trump personally executed 3,700 individual stock transactions worth between $220 million and $750 million.

That's roughly 60 trades PER DAY.

While signing executive orders, meeting foreign leaders, and making policy decisions that directly impact the companies he's buying and selling.

Now here's where it gets really insane:

On February 10, Trump bought between $1 million and $5 million worth of Dell stock.

Three months later, on May 8, he stood at a Mother's Day event at the White House, thanked Michael Dell by name, and told Americans to "go out and buy a Dell."

Dell stock surged 14.6% that day to an all-time high of $263.99.

Since Trump's February purchase, Dell is up 96%.

And 5 months BEFORE Trump bought Dell stock, Michael and Susan Dell donated $6.25 billion to Trump Accounts, one of the largest philanthropic commitments to a sitting president's signature program in modern history.

So the timeline goes: Dell donates $6.25 billion to Trump's program -> Trump buys Dell stock ->Trump tells America to buy Dell from the White House podium -> Stock hits all-time high

And that's just ONE stock...

The same filing shows Trump bought Nvidia stock on February 10. One week later, Nvidia announced a massive chip deal with Meta.

He bought more Nvidia stock one week BEFORE his own Commerce Department approved the sale of Nvidia chips to Saudi Arabia.

He bought Intel stock starting in March 2026. The US government already owned a 9.9% stake in Intel worth over $41 billion. On April 30, Trump posted on Truth Social praising Intel, writing that "Intel Stock continues to rise."

Intel jumped 3% in after-hours and is now up 140% year-to-date.

He bought Palantir stock while his administration was actively handing them billion-dollar government contracts for immigration enforcement and defense.

He bought Robinhood stock while his own Trump Accounts program uses Robinhood as the broker.

He's currently sitting on over 100% profit on AMD, Intel, Bloom Energy, Marvell Technology, and at least 10 other positions.

Every single president since Lyndon B. Johnson has used a blind trust to avoid exactly this situation. But Trump didn't.

His assets sit in a trust controlled by his own children, and the filings show a broker acted as agent on several trades.

The White House says the portfolio is "independently managed."

But here's what independently managed looks like:

Buy Dell stock. Three months later, publicly endorse Dell from the White House. Stock hits all-time high.

Buy Nvidia stock. One week later, your own government approves their chip sales. Stock rips.

Buy Intel stock. Post about Intel on Truth Social. Stock jumps. The government you run already owns a 10% stake.

Buy Palantir. Hand them contracts. Buy Robinhood. Route a federal program through their platform.

Nancy Pelosi got absolutely destroyed for her husband's stock trades.

Her husband's total disclosed trades in his most controversial year were worth roughly $5 million.

Trump just disclosed up to $750 MILLION in a single quarter.

While making the actual policy decisions that move these stocks.

This isn't a left or right issue.

We're talking about the President of the United States averaging 60 stock trades per day in companies his own administration regulates, contracts with, and publicly endorses.

What do you think?

S&P +0.1% last wk, masks the troubles under the surface with oil +10% to $105 & 2/30 yr bond yields +18 bps. I said last wk in multiple interviews that either oil/ylds are wrong or the stock mkt is. Much like on Friday, I am expecting more convergence this wk.

Both April CPI & PPI came in higher than expected last week stoking the fears that the rising oil prices from the Iran war which started in late February is now impacting inflation.

In addition, there was some troubling developments in the semiconductor sector which has spearheaded the recent 18% rally in the S&P with a 69% gain in the SOX index from March 30th to Thursday May 14th. The Korean Kospi, which had been up 89% ytd through Thursday led by memory manufacturers Samsung Electronics +143% and Hynix +201% had its biggest intraday spread in history on Friday which triggered a temporary trading halt. The Kospi from an intra-day high of +0.8% finished down 6.1% with Samsung/Hynix closing down 6.6%/5.9%.

This week, we will get some important earnings releases from $TGT on Wednesday and $WMT on Thursday with combined sales of ~$850B on how the consumer is handling the increase in gas prices. Most analysts are expecting solid results. This would match statements from the credit card companies and larger banks which indicated a resilient consumer when they reported. However, $MCD in reporting their quarterly earnings in early May, talked about a slowdown they were seeing in the lower-end consumer

$NVDA results on Wednesday will speak to the health of the AI trade. While I expect another beat & raise quarter, the stock has declined each of the past 3 quarters in reaction to earnings the next day. The 5.5% decline in reaction to their January quarter results where revenues were 3% above consensus and they guided 7% above for the next quarter was particularly noteworthy. The stock was also up 43% from 3/30-5/14.

This is a very different risk vs reward than on April 5th when I wrote "$NVDA and $GOOGL remain my favorite ways to play agentic AI while the server microprocessor vendors are key new beneficiaries from the increase in orchestration needed." As an aside, Google was up 47% from 3/30-5/14.

From a bigger picture basis, the number one thing I am focused on when investing is risk vs reward.

I posted on X on March 31st “History May not Repeat Itself but it Often Does Rhyme” comparing 2026 to 97/98 where macro scares caused the S&P to have intra-year declines of 11% and 19% but finished the years up 31% and 27%. I also mentioned again the benefits of Agentic AI “So names like $INTC and $AMD should benefit.” End of March was a great risk vs reward for investing.

As I stated in interviews last week, however, the risk versus reward over the short-term is now very different.

The S&P bounced 18% from March 30th through Thursday May 14th led by the Semiconductor Index that surged 69% but:
1) oil has risen to $105 versus $84 on April 17th when a resolution seemed more likely and versus the mid-$60s before the Iran war started
2) bond yields are at new highs for the yr with the 30 yr firmly above 5% and 2 yr firmly above 4% and up over 20 bps and 35 bps since April 17th
3) recent data seems to indicate that rising oil prices is seeping into inflation

Until oil and bond yields look like they are going to come back down for good reasons versus bad ones like demand destruction, I have little interest in getting aggressive on stocks. This is why on my podcast with @WilfredFrost on Tuesday I said “hold more cash.”

https://t.co/QJz9SXFFQv

Longer-term, I still believe two of the most powerful forces driving the market remain intact
1) AI capex now up ~70% vs ~30% at the start of the year driven by the advent of Agentic AI in early 2026
2) the desire for easy money policies by new Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh though his hands are seemingly tied at the moment by rising inflation metrics

Mid-term elections are also coming up in November and if oil prices are not down by then, historical precedence says the incumbent party is going to suffer significant losses. This is a powerful incentive to resolve the Iran situation sooner rather than later.

In summary, in the near-term the risk vs reward for stocks seems poor unlike in late March. My key to when it makes sense to get more aggressive again rests with oil and bond yields given 10 out of the last 12 recession were preceded by a sustained surge in oil prices.

@PATHTrain Please send the WTC trains on time instead of 2-3 minutes early. The schedule said 1:27pm and the train left at 1:24pm. Or adjust the schedule or include some kind of disclaimer that trains may run up to 3 minutes early. This happens a lot Time in minutes should be accurate.
