The Black Cat @ Wallstreet

This is the interview that convinced me that Elon does truly care for humanity. 12.04 - 12.54. You can’t fake that. Leonardo Di Caprio can, but pretty sure not Elon. youtu.be/w7BMaG3zyVo?si…

I usually just pick one, get a starter position and begin researching... I generally prefer companies that have low to no debt, decent cashflow, maybe profitable or close to it. I don’t care too much about ratios for growth stage companies. Those aren’t very reliable this early on… For exposure into insurance, I started with $UNH, realised it was too big and beaurocratic for true innovation then decided to switch out for $OSCR instead

The Mirantis acquisition. New GPU deployments. New customer discussions. A growing global footprint. Underneath all of it is a fairly simple view of where the world is heading, and a deliberate strategy for how we position IREN within it. That strategy is built on three layers. Together, they compound into a structural advantage that gets harder to replicate every quarter we execute. Layer 1: Physical infrastructure. Power, land, substations, data centers, cooling. The foundation that everything else sits on. Layer 2: Compute infrastructure. The GPUs, servers and networking that go inside those buildings. Deployed at scale. Generating revenue. Building execution track record. Layer 3: Software and operational capability. The orchestration, deployment tooling and enterprise expertise that makes the first two layers work harder for customers, and opens the door to a broader, higher-value market over time. Layers 1 and 2 are where the overwhelming majority of IREN's value is being created today. Layer 3 is where that advantage compounds further over time, but only because Layers 1 and 2 are built, owned and controlled at scale by IREN, not subscale nor contracted from a third party. Think of Amazon. They didn't win e-commerce by building a great website. They won it by controlling the fulfilment infrastructure at a scale nobody else could replicate. The foundation you don't control becomes the ceiling on your business. That is exactly how we think about IREN. The physical infrastructure - the land, the power, the substations, the data centers - is owned and controlled by us. The compute deployed into it generates the revenue and execution track record. And the software, orchestration and enterprise capability we are more methodically building on top is what turns the total product into a vertically integrated AI Cloud platform that compounds over time and deepens into a competitive moat. AI is still early. The bottleneck is increasingly physical. And we have spent eight years building the foundations.

One of the more interesting signals in the data right now is that the yield curve continues to flatten despite a significant increase in oil prices on a trailing three-month basis. Historically, in a more traditional economic cycle, an energy shock that is being monetized by the Federal Reserve would steepen the curve, not flatten it. The Fed is not monetizing this energy shock. In our view, the bond market may be beginning to discount something much more powerful: the deflationary impact of artificial intelligence and technologically enabled productivity gains across the economy. The cost to train AI models is falling dramatically. Inference costs are collapsing even more rapidly. At the same time, productivity growth appears to be accelerating beneath the surface of the official data, while unit labor costs remain remarkably subdued. Much of the market narrative today is centered around tariffs, deficits, and structurally higher inflation. Yet the underlying signals increasingly suggest that disinflationary forces tied to innovation are building momentum. We believe inflation is likely to surprise on the low side over the next 6–9 months. If that proves correct, the implications for interest rates and long-duration equities could be profound. Historically, the market has tended to underestimate the speed and scale at which technologically driven innovation can reshape the macroeconomic environment. I share my thoughts on this month's episode of In The Know.

$TSLA coming into a key level 🚨 Strong bounce off the $330 low last month, but price is now pressing into heavy resistance. For a real shot at new highs, I want to see the 33FVB flip green. My plan: watch $430–$440 for rejection. If FVB flips green through that zone, bulls take back control.

Things that didn't happen with $TSLA. 1. Unsupervised FSD by 2021 2. Elon's promise of 1 million robotaxis by end of 2026 3. Optimus production of 1 million by end of 2026 4. Launch of Roadster in April 2026 5. Elon's promise of 200,000/year production for Cybertruck 6. Tesla to buyback shares in 2022 7. People on Mars by 2025 8. XaI to achieve AGI 9. And the list goes on... These aren't made up, they're facts. Things that won't happen = SpaceX/Tesla merger You see where this is going? Hopium in Tesla is just a pill for disappointment.

Market topping signals Today, US2Y spiked + Yen spiked Government intervened BUT NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THIS. WE MOON FOREVER. UP ONLY. Higher yields = bad for growth stocks due to discount rate Yen spike = Carry Trade Unwind Catalyst Combination of these two is a liquidity squeeze. Don’t be that monkey.

@iamtomnash Even at current valuations?

$PLTR is probably the biggest upside business in the entire AI stack.

🚨 Anthropic's own team just showed how to actually prompt Claude. 24 minutes. free. from the people who built it. watch the workshop. bookmark it. worth more than every $300 course you almost bought. you've been using Claude without knowing 40 of its prompts. Then read the guide below.

Singapore's Foreign Minister published the architecture for his "second brain for a diplomat" yesterday. Architecture diagrams, design rationale, the works. A developer-style writeup of his own system. It runs on a Raspberry Pi. It connects to his WhatsApp and Gmail, transcribes voice notes locally, ingests speeches and articles, and builds up a knowledge graph over time. It answers questions, drafts speeches, condenses information. He says he doesn't dare switch it off. What @VivianBala built is one-of-one. There's no other setup like it. But what he built it from isn't. He composed four open-source pieces: - @NanoClaw_AI , the agent framework: github.com/qwibitai/nanoc… - Mnemon, the persistent memory layer: github.com/mnemon-dev/mne… - OneCLI, the credential proxy that keeps API keys out of the containers: github.com/onecli/onecli - The LLM Wiki pattern by Andrej Karpathy, the synthesis approach: x.com/karpathy/statu… None of them are his. The composition is his. And then he published the composition: gist.github.com/VivianBalakris… He didn't keep it internal as Singapore's edge. He didn't spin it into a product. He didn't gatekeep. He wrote it up and put it on GitHub. There are tens of thousands of doctors, lawyers, researchers, investors, and operators building one-of-one setups for themselves right now. Some simpler than Vivian's, some more elaborate. The impulse will be to sit on it. Treat it as your edge. Think about what product or company you could spin out of it. Resist that impulse. Vivian put it directly: "The diplomat who learns to work with AI will have a meaningful edge. I think that edge is now." The specific thing Vivian composed will be obsolete in months. His real edge isn't the system. It's his ability to build it. Being plugged in, up to speed, able to cut through the noise and connect the right pieces into something that brings real value. Sharing the blueprint doesn't give that away. It amplifies it. You become a beacon. Other people working on the same things find you. They share what they're building, suggest improvements, point at things you didn't know existed. You learn faster. You stay in the center of where things are happening. Publishing isn't giving away your edge. It's doubling down on it.

TOM LEE: A BIG DRAWDOWN COMES FIRST. THEN THE RALLY OF OUR LIFETIME. 🔹 10 of 13 new Fed chairs triggered a 10%+ drawdown in year one 🔹 S&P 500 could still push toward 7,300 first 🔹 Then comes a decline that will feel like a bear market 🔹 After that, TOM LEE sees one of the strongest rallies of our lifetime That is the setup. One more shakeout. Then a move most people will be too scared to believe.

Jensen $NVDA explains why $IREN 4.5GW of contracted power is such a massive advantage. “None of the bottlenecks (like memory, chip production…) last longer than a couple of years, three years. None of those things worry me. What’s different is energy. You can’t create an industry without energy. You can’t build anything without energy, and those things take a long time.” This is the AI bottleneck. Not chips. Not memory. Energy. $IREN already has it. Those 4.5GW will be fully utilized—whether through cloud or colocation. $IREN is on a path to a $100B+ valuation. Right now, it’s the highest-upside neo cloud player in the market

I’ve just created a free group on X. No paid access. No guru nonsense. No signals. No sales funnel. The goal is simple: A serious space for like-minded investors to discuss markets, share research, break down news, challenge ideas, and learn from each other in real time. What it is: • Research sharing • Smart market discussion • News flow and reactions • Networking with serious people • Different views, same goal: improve What it is not: • Spam & pump • A sales funnel • Buy/sell alerts • Self-promotion • Financial advice What’s expected: • Add value • Be respectful • Think independently • Debate ideas, not people If you want in, comment: YES I’ve already tried adding everyone who requested access so far, but X has changed group messaging. You may need to update your X app enable the new X Chat system by opening messages and setting your personal 4-digit PIN first. Once that’s done, I can add you. -BP $IREN $CIFR $NBIS $AAOI $OUST $AMPX $RKLB $HIMS $PNG.V $ONDS

@farzyness It’s an alley oop… pretty straightforward. To make it possible: 1) a player lobs the ball. 2) another player dunks it. Not rocket science.

I don't understand how this is possible.

The bond market is not pretty right now. The 10-year US treasury just passed 4.43%. Yields across the world are spiking. Many people are wondering how Gold & Silver, which are supposed to be safehavens during these times, are now down more than 25% from their peaks… The answer is in bond yields. If the cost of capital goes up (people sell bonds, pushing the yield to own a bond higher) then risk assets get hit. It’s hard to take the risk and buy stocks when you could do nothing and get 4.45% guaranteed from the US government, which is 90 basis points above the Federal Funds Rate. Gold and Silver have become risk assets. I know they shouldn’t be, but when anything starts fluctuating 5-7% DAILY, it has turned into speculation more than a safe haven. These assets, just like $BTC and growth stocks, are now being hit. The worst thing about all of this is that if oil continues to stay elevated…and people sell off stocks…AND people sell off bonds…then we are just going to see higher inflation with no demand for bonds to bring it down because the credit markets will be demanding a higher yield. At the same time, if equity markets won’t be buying stocks, you’ll see yields going up and stocks going down at the same time which is a recipe for disaster. Trump knows this. It’s exactly what got him to pivot during April last year. I wonder how long he lets this continue, but at some point…the credit markets will dictate how bad this gets.

Wall Street is cooked. I spent 100+ hours stress-testing the new Claude Opus 4.6 on live market data. Most people are using it for basic summaries. They’re missing the point. Here are 18 prompts that unlock institutional-level financial analysis (for free):
