Macro · Beth Kindig believes this bull market has considerably more room to run. However, before the next leg higher begins, a correction is expected that will shake many investors out of the trade, and the main AI proxy $SMH appears to be confirming this view. Mentions $SPY $QQQ.

@UrbanKaoboy: the debt governor is in charge; the biggest threat to his disinflationary growth view is the AI buildout's overdependence on debt financing, like the dot com cycle. Rising long end rates have pulled the bond floor from under equities.

Macro · Clearly a macro related drop after CPI numbers came out today and further US rate hike anticipation. Since $KOSPI, $SPY, and Nikkei ended up plummeting. Too many potential second/third order effects if $CRWV goes down or frontier labs struggle. Rate hikes amplify fears but sold-off presents opportunities. $LITE has take/pay contracts + sold out until 2029 for lasers, financed by hyperscalers for 2031 demand. Demand visibility + financing (counterparties like $MSFT or $AMZN) too solid to bunch with others in optical sector that have cash. Neocloud requires billions in future toxic financing in high rate environments. Markets will eventually distinguish nuances from actual profitability, financing, and long term demand sustainability rather than treating everything as one bubble.
