Shutdowns, Semis, and Shenanigans

😎 Market Vibes

It's quarter-end chaos, and the vibes are... stressed. Between a looming government shutdown, a Fed potentially flying blind, and a market that's somehow cheering post-bankruptcy rallies, things are getting spicy. Gold's ripping, stocks are slipping, and traders are picking sides - data or no data.

⚠️ Shaky quarter-close

• 🧨 Shutdown Showdown: Stocks opened red as D.C. drama hits DEFCON 2 - a government shutdown could mean no jobs data, no Fed read, and a whole lotta chaos.

• 🥇 Gold Fever: Gold surged near record highs as investors panic-buy metal over the shutdown. If the Fed can't see inflation data, gold bugs might finally get their moment.

• 🤖 CoreWeave Lands Meta Money: CoreWeave popped ~15% after bagging a $14B+ AI cloud deal with Meta - proof that GPU infrastructure is where the AI arms race is really going down.

• 🧱 Wolfspeed Resurrection Arc: Shares soared ~35% as Wolfspeed emerged from bankruptcy with a cleaner balance sheet. Investors apparently love a good comeback story... especially if it smells like semis.

• 💻 Intel Can't Keep Up: Despite the AI hype, Intel dropped ~3.3% - still playing catch-up while newer players grab the spotlight. When your roadmap keeps slipping, markets notice.

Would you like options-like results without the complexities?

For the past couple of years, I've been quietly developing a setup using what I call "Supercharged Tickers" - a special class of securities most traders have never heard about. They trade exactly like regular stocks in any basic account… But have the power to deliver option-like returns, without any of the options market’s gimmicks working against you. Sounds unbelievable, I know…  But if you'd like to get started on these, you best head over here now.

💸 Trade Talk

Wolfspeed exited Chapter 11 this morning with a restructured balance sheet, reduced debt by ~70%, and issued new equity under the same ticker. Shares jumped ~30% out of the gate. Same name, new cap table - and traders didn't waste time rewriting the story.

🧠 Big Brain Energy

CoreWeave's $14B deal with Meta isn't just headline bait - it's a multi-year AI cloud infrastructure contract that puts real numbers behind the GPU arms race. This isn't speculative "AI exposure" - it's hyperscale deployment with cash flow.

Translation: Meta's not just talking LLMs, they're paying to power them.

Three dark horse candidates in the AI race

Only 10 companies in human history have ever reached a $1 trillion market cap. And before 2018, it had never happened before. But in less than a decade, Amazon... Apple... Microsoft... Google... they're all there. But here's what most investors don't realize: I've already identified the next three companies projected to join this exclusive club. And they're likely not who you think. Get their names and tickers here in my brand-new report - completely free.

🧨The Outrage Meter

Intel - the former king of chips - opened down ~3.3% today, even as AI hype keeps semis on fire. Why? Because while everyone else is booking AI wins or cutting deals (see: Nvidia, CoreWeave), Intel's still teasing roadmaps and chasing relevance.

They showed off more Gaudi3 benchmarks last week... and the market shrugged. In a world where bankrupt chip firms rally 30%, Intel can't even catch a bid with actual products.
