Where will the next AI bottleneck emerge, and who can retain the profits?Deliverable power is a plausible leading AI expansion bottleneck at constrained sites over 2027–2029—not a proven global shortage. PJM’s July 2026 decision distinguishes a connection from adequately firm service, while a reported Essex…
Why are interest rates high and what would make them fall?As of October 2026, rates are high relative to 2019 chiefly because inflation remains above the Fed’s 2% goal: August core PCE inflation was 3.0%, and the Fed’s policy target was 3.75%–4.00%. Mortgage costs also reflect long-term bond…

what are your thoughts on AAOI as a stock?I’d be cautious about buying AAOI near the $114.72 price observed on October 2, 2026. Q2 results showed data-center revenue up 140% year over year, but gross margin fell to 27.7% and the company remained GAAP-unprofitable. The valuation…
rivian stock projection by 2030?Using information available October 2, 2026, my year-end 2030 projection for Rivian (RIVN) is $10–$15 per share, centered near $11. The model assumes 305,000 annual deliveries, yet only about $260 million in free cash flow after…
two questions, what are your thoughts on michael burry in general and his investment thoughts. when will there be an actual market crash. everyone always talks about it but it never happens?Michael Burry is worth listening to: his mortgage-crisis trade showed exceptional analysis. But spotting a weakness is different from knowing when to sell, and he later retracted a public “Sell” call. I wouldn’t trade solely on his…
