obv it's not the job of Bloomberg reporters to care about market impact from their reporting ... but dropping this $GOOGL article during MOC into end of month / qtr likely led to some nasty moves

I think the bond reaction today makes sense ... front end coming in while longer dated holding firm. The curve is probably too flat right now given the expectation for sustained growth while the front end is likely already pricing in the maximum amount of hikes

Jim keeps talking about oil ... oil is well off the mid-month highs. Oil is down multiple % points today. Yields are higher from the mid month and yields are higher today @carlquintanilla.bsky.social

Big buyback program at $NVDA, something many have been asking for given the valuation. Looks like it’s about 5% of market cap being repurchased over the next 6 quarters

if you only listened to the $COST earnings call to paint a picture of the economy you would hear 1.5% inflation, a consumer being thoughtful with their spending (value in everyday items), but also comfortable with discret spending on travel, jewelry, massage chairs (+50% YoY), appliances, skin care

I've been against many of the takes, over the last few years, about the impact to one company's business because of a product roll out from another. Many companies are entrenched, own the endpoint, and have the data.

Written about this previously, but products / applications drive adoption and therefore drive revenue. How you harness, package, and present the model layer is incredibly important

market taking up CPU names on the back of continued agentic applications coming to market (Muse and Instinct recently) but not rewarding the hyperscalers despite the cloud growth accel reported last quarter and continued price hikes we have seen from many cloud players. I think that is a mistake

Important open for $META tomorrow ... sitting at the highs from July and April where it broke down twice before. Also happens to the be the level $META opened at the day after their Oct 2025 earnings call. META Connect event next week where the expectation is for a Watermelon model release

Prescient Decoder episode with @reckless.bsky.social and @mustafasuleymanai.bsky.social ... nice follow up to their episode back in June (only 3 months ago and so much has changed). The discussion about Anthropic's approach to Claude, which was also a topic in the June episode, is very important

3m Cor's back to the end of July highs when $QQQ was much lower (660s) and $VIX was in the 20's ... feels like a lot of the dispersion trades are being unwound but the index levels have held up ... what that means? Honestly not sure, but i found it interesting

Consistent with SemiAnalysis research… $MSFT, after a pause in 2025 that came back to bite them, is going to accelerate compute build outs dramatically. (My take) Air gap until H2 2027 tho, they will have to try to find enough bridge compute in the near term before supply comes online

1 year ago today $ORCL ripped to an ATH above 340 and made Larry Ellison the richest person in the world. Since then, the stock has fallen to 150 into today's print, and Safra Catz transitioned out of the CEO role (only a few weeks after last year's sept print) Let's see if today can change that

The gap between the real model frontier (which currently resides internally at the AI labs) and the public model frontier continues to widen. In my opinion, this is happening because of a mix of regulation, compute availability, and business reasons (not sure if in that order)
