A lot of interesting observations from Joe...
I wrote about the crypto crash and why this is the worst crypto winter in the industry's history.

Of course the market gets spooked.

Their EBIT in 2025 is $80bn, then you add back the $1.4bn in amortization of acquired intangibles and subtract roughly $10bn in operating cash taxes so your NOPAT is ~$71.4bn. Now you are telling me that you want to spend $200bn in CapEx.
oh god it's huge

Looking at Amazon's earnings release. Their long bullet list of things they have achieved or launched is hilarious. Where is the focus? Where is just reporting the necessary and reduce noise?

How can explain this? Is it retail flow, passive ETFs, regulation risk premium?

At face value it looks like the market is less efficient in valuing companies…

Says the CEO that lifted the number of employees by 10% in 2025. So if one could lift the same workload as a team with AI it implies 5x productivity gain. I will look forward to a 80% reduction in Meta employees.

I hope everyone can see the unnecessary hype

The tech giant is doubling down on a trend of companies operating with leaner workforces, though it's still on the hunt for rockstar talent.

That one of the world’s most top notch commercial research labs feels threatened is a bad sign.
Google DeepMind staffers are pressing leadership on their plans to safeguard the 3,000-person unit from ICE agents.

"As we have seen, government agency tactics can change and escalate quite rapidly. With offices in many metro areas across the US, are we prepared?"

A federal agent allegedly tried to enter Google’s Cambridge campus in the fall, WIRED has learned. Now, staffers want policies that protect them from immigration officials.

The CapEx vs Opex dance in US technology continues. In order to avoid a repricing of equity valuations as CapEx explodes higher they bring down Opex to preserve margins and free cash flows.

It can last in the short-term but also in the long-term?

Listening to the Odd Lots podcast with the CEO of PNC Financial Services.

I really don’t understand, and I don’t think Tracy and Joe are pressing on this, but why is a national bank so focused on growing branches.

In 2026, surely the mission should be solving the SME problems digitally.

I’m tired of listening to Danish/European tech entrepreneurs complaining about different rules and laws across European countries as a big problem for scaling.

US business people also complain about different rules across US states for wages, permits etc. Scaling in the US is also tough.

This is such a bad sign for the US. When science and the scientific method is questioned against obvious statistical significance bad things will happen over time…

Trump’s unpredictability makes long-term deal-making and relationships impossible.

I expect the Netherlands to follow. Shipping routes across the North Pole during warmer weather mostly end in Rotterdam so protecting Europe’s trade fleet and ensure security of volume into Rotterdam is of national interest to the Netherlands.
And the advance teams are on their way to 🇬🇱Greenland to prepare deployment of 🇩🇰Danish and allied troops from 🇸🇪Sweden, 🇳🇴Norway, 🇩🇪Germany & 🇫🇷 France. More countries will join Operation Arctic Endurance. Stay tuned.

My eldest son (11 years old) wanted new shin pads for his football practice. Size was 10x6cm.

I said: “that’s joke right? They are for small 4-year olds”

He wants them because more and more professionel football players are using mini-pads. Everyone is obsessed about aesthetics over safety.
