The US 10-Year Yield Just Hit 5.35%. Tech Stocks Have a Problem.

The US 10-year Treasury yield touched 5.35% on October 7, 2026, reaching territory investors had not seen since 2002. It was an extraordinary number for the world’s most important government bond market, but the implications extend well beyond Treasury traders. For investors holding Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, growth stocks or Nasdaq ETFs, the problem is not […]

September Was Basically Two Stock Markets Wearing One Trench Coat

September was a good month for the stock market. September was also a terrible month for the stock market. Both statements can be defended with perfectly respectable numbers. The Nasdaq Composite gained about 1.9% during the month, extending the extraordinary run of technology and AI-linked stocks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average went in the opposite […]

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 […]

The Week Nvidia Delivered the Receipts and the Fed Raised the Difficulty

Last week, the market demanded receipts. This week, it got them. Nvidia delivered another absurd quarter, Bitcoin pushed through $80,000, CrowdStrike reminded Wall Street that AI can create software revenue as well as GPU bills, and the major US indices managed to finish higher. For about five minutes, everything looked beautifully simple. Then Kevin Warsh […]

Bitcoin Just Did Something Crypto Investors Have Been Waiting For

Bitcoin just delivered the kind of week that believers in the Bitcoin digital gold thesis have been waiting years to see. The headline number was spectacular enough: Bitcoin gained roughly 23% over the week, climbing back above $77,000. But the percentage gain was not the most interesting part of the move. The real story was […]

The Week the Market Stopped Buying the Story

Last week, the market did not collapse. It did something more interesting. It began separating stories from evidence. The major US indices ended the week lower as rising long-term bond yields reminded investors that capital still has a price. The S&P 500 lost around 2%, the Dow fell roughly 3% and the Nasdaq declined about […]

Bitcoin Finally Broke the $70,000 Wall

Bitcoin finally punched through $70,000. But the most interesting part of the move is not the number itself or even the size of the rally. The important part is what $70,000 had become. After repeatedly frustrating recovery attempts in 2026, the zone had turned into a meaningful market barrier. Bitcoin’s break above it, followed by […]

Bitcoin, Gold and Copper Are Telling Different Apocalypse Stories

Bitcoin is back around the $65,000 line. Copper has pushed above $14,000 per tonne. Gold, after trading above $5,000 earlier this year, is climbing again as markets rethink the Federal Reserve and the dollar. At first glance, this looks like one giant fear trade. Buy the hard stuff. Sell the future. Prepare for monetary debasement, […]
