The Worst Market Timer Ever Still Retired a Millionaire

Imagine spending your entire investing life making almost perfectly terrible decisions. You buy stocks just before the 1973–74 bear market. You return immediately before Black Monday in 1987. Then you pile in at the peak of the dot-com bubble and, for your grand finale, invest just before the global financial crisis. That is essentially the […]

Wall Street Is Starting to Split the AI Trade in Two

For most of the generative AI boom, Wall Street treated artificial intelligence less like a technology stack than a single enormous trade. Nvidia sold the GPUs. Hyperscalers built the data centers. Memory manufacturers supplied the components. Cloud companies rented the compute. Software developers added AI features. If a company could attach itself convincingly enough to […]

Why Nuclear Stocks Are So Volatile Despite the AI Power Boom

The bullish case for nuclear power has become unusually easy to understand.

Oklo plunges 9% as nuclear stocks extend a brutal selloff

Why Buy Palladium? The Bull Case and the Risks Investors Cannot Ignore

Palladium rarely gets the attention commanded by gold, silver or even platinum. Yet this obscure-looking precious metal sits at the center of a surprisingly important industrial supply chain — and that makes its investment story worth watching.

What Does Bitcoin Hedge, Exactly?

Bitcoin has spent most of its adult life accumulating narratives. It was electronic cash, then digital gold. It became an inflation hedge, an escape hatch from monetary debasement, a geopolitical safe haven, a liquidity sponge and, depending on the market cycle, the ultimate risk-on asset. The problem is obvious: an asset cannot be judged as […]

The Dot-Com Bubble: Who Died, Who Won, and Could It Happen Again?

The dot-com bubble is usually remembered as a story about stupidity. Investors throwing money at companies with no profits. Startups adding “.com” to their names. Twenty-somethings becoming paper millionaires. Pets.com spending heavily to sell pet food online. Venture capital chasing almost anything connected to the internet. Then, in 2000, gravity returned. But that version of […]
