This IPO Breaks Every Rule The fine print on the SpaceX IPO is extraordinary. → You can’t sue. → You can’t vote. → You can’t fire Musk. The only person who can fire Musk is Musk. And yet the line to get in stretches around the block. SpaceX is expected to be the biggest IPO in history:→ $75 billion in proceeds, → a $1.75 trillion valuation, and → an unusually generous 30% allocation for retail investors. That last part almost never happens at this scale. Musk is letting everyday investors in early, which sounds generous until you read what you’re actually agreeing...

Same Menu… Different Reality Four burger chains reported earnings this week. → One is on the best run in years. → One is quietly bleeding out. → One just went up in smoke. → And one is promising it’ll be fine by Christmas. Welcome to the fast food earnings wars — where your lunch order is somebody’s stock price, the soda machine is a political statement, and a CEO eating a burger on camera can move markets more than a Fed announcement. Here’s the story ⇩ SPONSOR BREAK presented by BanyanHill* The REAL Reason Trump Is Invading IranFor a moment… Forget about Trump’s ties...

The Market Finally Caught Up In 2001, Corning was dying. The internet bubble had just burst, and demand for fiber optic cables — Corning’s entire business — collapsed almost overnight.  Revenue fell 70% in a single year.The stock dropped 99% from its peak.Employees were laid off by the thousands. The company that had been making specialty glass since 1851 was suddenly fighting for its life. The painful irony? Corning was not failing because fiber optics was a bad idea. It was failing because the world was not ready for it yet. The infrastructure was being built decades too early —...

When winning is not enough Imagine you ran a marathon, finished in the top 1%, broke your personal record by 20 minutes, and crossed the finish line to find the crowd booing.  That is roughly what happened to Palantir this week — a company that posted: → 85% revenue growth, → 150% earnings growth, → raised its full-year guidance, and → closed 206 deals worth at least $1 million each in a single quarter, only to watch its stock slide 7% as investors shrugged and moved on. So what went wrong? To answer that, you have to understand what the market is quietly doing to software companies right...

The Spoiler Alert… Before we talk numbers, we need to talk about Charlie Munger. Munger — Warren Buffett’s right hand for 45 years, the guy who turned “I’m just a poor man’s Buffett” into a philosophy — once said something that aged so well it should be in a museum: “When a manager with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact.”— Charlie Munger Translation: it doesn’t matter how smart you are. A bad business will humble you every time. Keep that...

Picture the most expensive restaurant you’ve ever been to. Now imagine every major tech company walks in, sits down, and orders everything on the menu. Twice.  → Google drops $180-190 billion. → Meta slaps down $145 billion. → Microsoft and Amazon between them are clearing $300 billion. The total bill for Big Tech’s 2026 AI infrastructure binge is now north of $700 billion — more than the entire GDP of Switzerland, all of it pointed at data centers, chips, and the existential fear of being the one company that didn’t build enough. Apple looked at the menu, ordered a side...

All In. 🃏 In poker, going “all in” means one thing. You’re not hedging or folding. You’re pushing every chip you have to the middle of the table and telling everyone else in the room: I believe in this hand more than you believe in yours. This Wednesday at 4:01pm, four of the most powerful companies on Earth are turning their cards over. 1 Microsoft. 2 Alphabet. 3 Meta. 4 Amazon. They’ve already gone all in. $670 billion committed to AI infrastructure this year alone. → More than Sweden’s entire GDP. → More than America’s entire defense budget. → The largest...

The Verdict. Intel walked into the bond market this week asking for $6.5 billion. Wall Street sent back $50 billion. That’s a verdict. Seven times the amount requested, from the most serious, least excitable investors on Earth — pension funds, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds. People who don’t get carried away. People who do the math and check the books. This week three companies found out their verdict: 1 Intel got a standing ovation. 2 Walmart got a nod. 3 And Boaz Weinstein found out that even distressed investors have their limits. Here’s the story ⇩ SPONSOR...

Unsexy? Two completely unsexy businesses just had the sexiest IPO week of 2026. One has been making sandwiches in New Jersey since 1956. The other makes uranium pellets the size of a poppyseed. No algorithms or AI wrapper. No founder in a black turtleneck telling you they’re changing the world. Just sandwiches and atoms. Between them they raised over $13 billion this week. And Wall Street — the same Wall Street that spent the last five years throwing money at anything with “AI” in the name — couldn’t write the checks fast enough. Here’s the story ⇩ Don’t forget...

Who does not like cannoli? Last night I watched The Godfather again. You know how it happens. Ninety minutes of scrolling Netflix, nothing looks good, and you end up back at… a classic. There’s a scene where Peter Clemenza’s driver has just carried out a hit. Body in the front seat. Dark road. Clemenza, completely unbothered, turns to him and says: “Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.” Just a man who knows exactly what matters and what doesn’t. I couldn’t stop thinking about that scene this week. Because while hedge funds were staring at the gun — Iran, tariffs,...

Surprise!!! In 1900, Russia brought a wooden doll to the Paris World Exhibition that nobody had seen before. From the outside, a painted peasant woman in a traditional sarafan dress, rosy cheeks, a headscarf. Unremarkable. But you twisted it open… another doll. Identical in design, smaller in size. Then opened that one too. And another. Seven dolls total, each one hiding the next, all the way down to a tiny baby carved from a single piece of wood. The craftsmen who made it had one goal in mind — to surprise. The doll won a bronze medal. Within a decade, the whole world wanted one. The...

Turns out the prince was in the Sonoran Desert the whole time. In Grimm’s fairy tale, the princess kisses the toad. And it turns into a prince. For sixty years, psychedelics have been the toad of the medical world. It was sixty years of stigma, until…. Last Saturday, Washington kissed the toad. President Trump signed an executive order fast-tracking research and FDA approval for psychedelic treatments. The whole spectrum — mushrooms, plants, toads. And the prince showed up immediately. Stocks across the entire sector exploded before the ink was dry. But here’s what makes this...
