Bank Earnings Just Gave Us the Real Story—And It’s Not What You Think

For weeks, investors have been drowning in headlines about oil prices, inflation, and geopolitical chaos. It's been noise on top of noise. But then earnings season showed up, and suddenly we had something real to work with: actual numbers. Here's the thing about bank earnings—they're like the canary in the coal mine.

Hold Your Horses on Tech: Why the AI Gold Rush Needs a Reality Check

Tech stocks are having a moment. Again. The Nasdaq is hitting fresh all-time highs, and everyone's suddenly convinced that piling into the sector is the move. But here's the thing: Manish Kabra, the Chief US Equity Strategist at Société Générale, is basically saying "pump the brakes." And he's got receipts. The setup is familiar.

The bull market's been running hot for three years straight, and now everyone's asking the same question: does it keep going, or does reality finally catch up? Here's the deal: the S&P 500 crushed it in 2025, up about 18% and hitting all-time highs. The Nasdaq? Even better—up 22.3%. Even the Dow got in on the action with a 14.5% gain. That's three consecutive years of solid double-digit returns, which is honestly pretty wild. But here's where it gets interesting. The market's ...

Hold Your Tech Horses: Why the AI Gold Rush Might Be a Trap

Tech stocks are having a moment. Again. The Nasdaq's hitting fresh highs, and everyone's suddenly convinced that now—*right now*—is the time to go all-in on the AI mega-cap gang. But here's the thing: Manish Kabra, the Chief US Equity Strategist at Société Générale, is basically saying "pump the brakes, friend." And he's got receipts. Look, the AI scare earlier this year tanked tech valuations to genuinely cheap levels. That prompted the usual suspects on Wall Street to dust off their "buy ...

The AI Grid Is Leaving Earth — and the Trade of a Generation Is Taking Shape

There is a constraint nobody in the AI boom is talking about loudly enough: Earth is running out of room. Land near reliable power grids, water rights for cooling, and grid interconnection slots that can take three to five years to obtain — these are the actual bottlenecks slowing AI infrastructure growth, not chips or capital. Bloomberg estimates nearly half of all U.S. AI data center projects will be delayed this year due to power constraints alone.The solution being assembled ...

Space: The New Real Estate for AI’s Power Problem

Here's a plot twist nobody saw coming: AI is literally running out of room on Earth. Data centers are power hogs—absolute energy vampires. They need land, they need water for cooling, and they need electricity that most grids can barely keep up with. Meanwhile, AI companies are racing to build more centers faster than infrastructure can handle. It's like trying to fit a Tesla Supercharger into a 1970s electrical panel. Something's gotta give. Enter: space. This isn't sci-fi anymore. Orbital data centers ...
