→ $META decided to sell compute because it is scarce and highly profitable
→ GPU prices will crash and neoclouds will lack demand
You have to pick one or the other
Now, if you think Zuck got into neocloud to sell GPUs for pennies, I have a bridge to sell you
Why are central banks buying so much gold?
A record 90% of central banks cited gold's performance during times of crisis as a key factor in their decision to hold gold, according to the World Gold Council survey of 69 central banks.
This trend is more frequently seen in emerging market and developing economy central banks, with 92% citing crisis performance as the primary driver.
By comparison, this figure stands at 81% among advanced economy central banks.
Furthermore, gold's role as a long-term store of value and inflation hedge was cited by 84% of respondents, while 83% pointed to its effectiveness as a portfolio diversifier.
Meanwhile, 85% of emerging market central banks cited gold as a geopolitical hedge, compared to just 56% in advanced economies.
Gold remains at the core of central bank financial reserves.
The future of AI on your phone isn't a chat window, it's the keyboard you already use a hundred times a day.
Acti turns it agentic: intent in, action out, right inside whatever app you're in.
Betting on the input layer instead of yet another standalone app is a quietly brilliant move.
Where this lands in a year is the interesting question.
I will die on the hill with my thesis that the next great rotation will be in industries that are a hedge to peaking 10y yields
I have provided an image on #GOLD which showcases every time yields peaked for the year in the past half decade
metals - gold and silver are worth researching as your next biggest contrarian rotation
not crypto, not space, not software
$MU $DRAM "The memory industry has been structurally transformed by the proliferation of AI."
"Exciting possibilities enabled by robotics and humanoids, as well as fully autonomous vehicles, portend a robust long-term demand environment for memory and storage."
Apollo $APO leads a $35B capital solution for Broadcom's $AVGO AI XPV Platform in partnership with Blackstone $BX and global banks.
Deal facilitates Anthropic's 1GW compute infrastructure expansion starting mid-2026. The Broadcom AI XPV Platform is designed to enable over 20GW of compute capacity through 2028.
@JohnTinsman The sixth sense alerting , sum of thing s not adding up as with short span the contract price going up 50 % and the deal can be cancelled by either party after Dec 2026. Looks strange and sort of accommodative as both co raising capital shortly!!
If you can make 10 B on 2B investment every year , the only variable is the operating cost be 6-7 B per yr or there is unbeliable scarcity of Ai compute or some thing similar .
Whether such costly compute can be ultimately be paid by actual users ( corporate or retail) ? Looks like alarm bells every where .
Better these deal ve scrutinized in depth before they allow yo pump now
Later we carry their burden
