Why the U.S. market has been down the past 3 days 1. Rising bond yields / hawkish Fed fears 2. Cooling momentum in tech / AI names Many of the market’s leaders (e.g. Nvidia, Meta, Alphabet) have pulled back from recent highs. The exuberance that drove recent gains is moderating.  3. Valuation concerns & profit‐taking With indices trading near record highs, some investors are taking profits. The recent dip may just be a normal pullback.  4. Uncertainty over macro data & policy direction Key upcoming reports (jobs, inflation) and potential surprises could shift confidence. Also, risks like a U.S. government shutdown are lurking.  ⸻ Outlook for the next week 👍👍 • Watch the jobs / labor data The nonfarm payroll report will be closely watched. A weak print could nudge expectations fo
Intel's Apple Overture: A Signal of Strategic Reinvention
Intel $Intel(INTC)$ share price has been in a tear this week as it is up almost 20% in the past 5 days and closed at USD 35.50 on Friday's trading. What an amazing turnaround !

Intel could produce non core components for Ap
Cathie Wood: How Does “Queen of Innovation” Manages $35B & Achieve 15% CAGR?
When it comes to growth investing, you can’t ignore Cathie Wood, founder of ARK Invest, often called the “Queen of Innovation.” She manages around $35B in ETFs, with her flagship $ARK Innovation ETF(ARKK)$ almost synonymous with high-growth tech stocks. But what exactly is her investment logic?What does innovation really mean to her?Cathie Wood believes founder-led companies matter the most. If a leader has vision, high standards, and relentless drive—especially in today’s era of rapid innovation—those companies are worth betting on. Back in 2015, just after launching ARK, she said on air:“I think Elon Musk is the greatest inventor of this era.”She admitted afterward she was nervous about being wrong since that clip would be replay

I’ve found myself having a similar conversation with a number of investors and founders recently, and wanted to flesh it out a bit into a post. It’s a similar topic to the ERR vs ARR debate. I’m calling this one the “Easy come, Easy go?” debate…Let’s first start out with an undeniable truth - the fastest growing AI companies are defying the laws of gravity when it comes to scaling. The growth some of these companies are seeing is eye watering. 0-$100m in ARR in less than 12 months! Sometimes faster! There are many reasons this type of growth is possible, but I think it boils down to the fact that many markets in AI are truly greenfield, can demonstrate ROI incredibly quickly, and these together lead to crazy adoption cycles and growth.Yet despite this, I’ve found myself less “sure” of the

The most valuable companies in the world are banking their future on a non-profit that doesn’t have a clear business model and expects to burn another $115 billion between now and 2029.That company is OpenAI.The numbers are staggering.
