Remember last week when the market decided to throw a party because Iran said the Strait of Hormuz was open again? Yeah, about that. Jefferies' Michael Toomey is basically the guy at the party who notices the keg is empty and the DJ just left—and he's got receipts. After weeks of Iran-war chaos that had traders sweating through their shirts, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq decided to go full celebration mode. Stocks rallied hard, hitting all-time highs, and everyone was ready ...

Here's the thing about bull markets: they're like that friend who keeps showing up to parties and somehow always has a good time. The current bull market has been partying since late 2022, and it's showing no signs of stopping.

David Einhorn doesn't ring alarm bells often. The Greenlight Capital founder has a long track record of being right when almost everyone else was wrong — including a famous short on Lehman Brothers before its collapse. So when he sends an investor letter saying he's putting "capital preservation at the top of our priorities," that's not noise. That's a signal worth taking seriously. In a letter dated this Monday, Einhorn wrote: "With so little downside priced in, we are willing to ...

So Nvidia was supposedly shopping for a PC company. Dell and HP stocks jumped. Then Nvidia said "nope, fake news." Case closed, right? Not quite. The rumor itself is weird—like a Michelin-star restaurant buying McDonald's. But the logic behind it? That's worth paying attention to. Here's the thing: Nvidia owns AI training. Full stop. Every major AI lab on Earth uses their GPUs. They're the kingmakers of the data center world. But there's a problem brewing that Wall Street hasn't fully priced ...

Remember last week when everyone was popping champagne because the Strait of Hormuz reopened and the S&P 500 hit all-time highs? Yeah, about that. Jefferies' Michael Toomey is basically saying the party's getting a little too loud, and the cops might show up soon. After weeks of Iran-war chaos that had traders sweating through their shirts, markets got a relief rally that was *chef's kiss*—until it wasn't. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq went absolutely bonkers, but Toomey's spotted five technical signals ...

Here's a funny thing that happened this week: A tech blog dropped a rumor that Nvidia was buying Dell or HP. The market freaked out. Dell jumped 7.6%, HP popped 6.3%. Then Nvidia's PR team basically said 'lol, no' and everyone moved on. But here's the thing – the rumor itself is actually telling us something important about where the real money in AI is heading. **Why This Deal Sounds Insane (But Isn't Totally Crazy)** On the surface, it makes zero sense.
