Lol/ for real- I don’t know if you are familiar with Callum Thomas but you and him are my fav researchers- I love a lot of people- you know what’s amazing though is how anyone involved with markets is portrayed as an assholes for the most part in most hollywood movies and even by the general public… but I’ve met the most nicest people in the world since I got the markets bug. I do mostly TA as a swing trader but I desperately need all types of research for my asset allocation and risk management. Just thought it’s funny how people know nothing of this world… bunch of Jon snows walking around lol. The worst came from my own community of artists who supported me for years as a musician/artist/ etc. I had to explain… I have to make money and if that means using Brian Shannon’s methods laid out in his books alongside my own LONG term strategies - then I am gonna do that… It suits me and I love it - I enjoyed being in bands but to have people turn on me just bc of their ignorance- I can’t help it they don’t understand and I don’t feel bad about being true to myself and my own code of ethics and morals. Sorry… I get on a rant but I’m sure others have experienced it and my real friends are the ones that care about me no matter if I make money with art or investing … Have a good night buddy. I’m nursing a toothache which thankfully has let up with 3 ibuprofen. Hopefully gets pulled tomorrow 🙂👊. Appreciate all your hard work.
Absolutely phenomenal charts-based analysis! The breadth of coverage here is outstanding. Your chart on hyperscaler CAPEX exploding from ~$120B in 2023 to projected $200B+ in 2026 really captures the AI infrastructure arms race. What I find most intriguing is the concentration story - your data showing Big Tech now represents an enormous share of S&P 500 market cap alongside the valuation metrics at cyclical highs creates a classic risk/reward setup. The Switzerland section is particularly fascinatng - the Swiss Franc strength chart combined with the DAX technical analysis shows how European markets are navigating very different dynamics than US tech. Your point about harvesting geopolitical risk premium in the introduction is spot-on. The BlackRock assets under management chart reaching $11.6T is another reminder of passive flow dominance. These 12 charts truly do say 10,000 words. Excellent work synthesizing so much data into actionable insights!
Harvesting geopolitical risk premium works，from my limited understanding, it means transforming the unknown unknowns into known unknowns. This implies that everyone has recognized that the geopolitical trend of anti-globalization is an inevitable event in the future. The question we need to consider is how extensive the unknowns are. What investors fear most is the unknown unknowns, not the known unknowns.
Nice work/ sending to a friend
Glad to hear Zach, sharing = caring, thank you!
You’re the real deal brother 👊
I am real, a deal it depends, a brother yes from another mother hehe, word play here, joking :). Cheers Zach!
