Back in 1976, Nolan Bushnell turned down a chance to buy a third of Apple for only $50k.
That slice today? Worth $1.4 trillion. He’d be the wealthiest person alive.
He walked away from a 28 million times return.
President Trump just dropped this:
"A bunch of European countries are talking about putting a Digital Services Tax on US companies. Some are almost ready to go through with it. So here's the deal—any country that does that will instantly get hit with a 100% tariff on everyt

$IREN is at a super important point right now.
A lot of other stocks have dropped back to key support levels too.
These next couple of days will decide everything. Really hoping we can hold steady and start bouncing back from here.

$AAOI got hit hard today.
I've been covering this stock since $50 and saw low 160's as a clear buying opportunity on America's photonics factory.
The Semi Analysis report that CPO is delayed undoubtedly threw water on photonics names (add in Iran tensions).
A CPO delay was always a major risk factor with optics given how short term this market thinks.
But what any optics investor should know is that nothing changed in the thesis around $AAOI's asymmetrical ramp to ~$470M monthly revenue by mid 2027.
$AAOI is focused on NPO or near packaged optics or 800/1.6T "pluggables/transceivers". This is the current framework for how optics are transforming the data center.
While CPO is THE holy grail of photonics and AAOI is working on a product there (ELSFP) ramping 2027, the revenue growth investors are betting on is in the short term NPO opportunity.
If anything, a slip in CPO extends the runway for pluggables, which is a tailwind for the stock.
I continue to see asymmetry in $AAOI after a parabolic move for many reasons in that there isn't a tech timeline constraint, the natsec advantage to onshore fabs, and the capital on hand they can deploy to achieve this through the recent ATMs.
$NVDA Jensen Huang just said they still can't keep up with demand—shortages are hitting everything from wafers to cables and silicon photonics.
Also hinted Nvidia might drop more news tomorrow 👀
#Bitcoin is looking crazy oversold right now, just like back in February. The price action compared to the Bollinger Bands and RSI looks pretty much the same. $BTC
