MARKET UPDATE: How Situational Awareness Blew Up, Will Rates Nuke Us, What’s Next?

from 1000x · host 1KX Media

This week, we break down the biggest story in markets: the blowup of Leopold Aschenbrenner's Situational Awareness fund. We discuss whether Ken Griffin killed him or just showed up with the best bid, how an eleven-figure liquidation actually works behind the scenes, why going to the street to meet a margin call is like walking into a lion's den (and the Terra Luna call that proved it), whether the rate-hike comments were an orchestrated hit, why Avi is stepping into the memory dip now with Micron, Intel and SanDisk, the Korean "Squid Game" liquidation that wiped out millions of accounts, the real lesson of being dead right and broke, and the great Mag 7 split — why Apple, Google, and Meta are all underperforming for completely different reasons while Amazon keeps printing.
