The State Of AI: Ranking Each MAG7 Stock
Today I rank each MAG7 stock based on the state of AI. Today is much different than a year ago when everyone felt these companies needed its own Large Language Model and massive data centers. Each company can win in its own way - but some companies will have an easier path. I discuss Amazon,...

Mythos Changes Everything: Do This Now
Last year I wrote a Substack piece arguing that salaries would eventually get repriced to the cost of compute. Tonight, Anthropic dropped a new model called Mythos to a locked list of partners — and the receipts they published are the cleanest proof of that thesis I could have asked for. In this...

Private Credit Panic: What You Need to Know
Blue Owl Capital just locked investors out of a $1.6 billion fund. Muddy Waters says SoFi's loan losses are double what they report. And I pulled the SEC filing that connects the two — showing exactly where SoFi's loans end up, who gets to decide what they're worth, and who's left holding the...

The Only 4 Things That Matter In Software Right Now
Wall Street is lumping all software stocks together and selling them off. That's a mistake. I walk through the 4-box checklist I use to find the software stocks that will actually recover — and which ones to avoid. 0:00 — Snowflake replaces Salesforce CRM, saves $5M/year 01:22 — Wall Street…

On-Prem Is the New Cloud: The AI Hardware Trade Wall Street Will Miss
Wall Street is obsessed with legacy software and the cloud data center. But the agentic layer is guaranteed to replace humans inside organizations — and that work isn't going to the cloud. I break down why on-prem hardware is about to have its biggest moment in 15 years, which companies benefit...

Wall Street Is Focused on Old SaaS. Smart Money Sees the Agentic Layer.
SaaS stocks are selling off and Wall Street is debating whether Salesforce and Adobe can pick themselves up off the mat. But the bigger opportunity isn't in old software — it's in a brand new layer of the economy. AI agents aren't tools you use. They're workers you deploy. And that changes...

Software Is Replacing Salaries — And It's Sorting SaaS Into Winners and Losers
