🚀 Elon Musk says his “best guess” is that $SPCX will exceed $500 BILLION by December 2027, with even a 2% chance of reaching $1 TRILLION. Meanwhile, $GOOGL is already paying SpaceX $920 MILLION per month for AI computing power. But here's what I'd focus on first: SpaceX's December exit rate. That's the part of Musk's forecast we can actually verify within weeks.

$AMZN is reportedly planning a data center next to $VST’s Comanche Peak nuclear plant in Texas, with plans to draw power directly from the facility and provide backup generation when the grid needs it. The bigger opportunity is what this means for Vistra: it could monetize growing AI power demand through long-term contracts without waiting years for entirely new power plants to come online. $IREN just disclosed a development pipeline exceeding 35 GW with more than 5 GW of power already secured and the scale is starting to look more like a national power developer. For context the secured portion alone is roughly size of $CIFR entire 5.9 GW pipeline and $NBIS 5 GW

🚨 BREAKING: The U.S. stock market is TANKING, with well over $2 TRILLION wiped out just this morning. This is shaping up to be one of the worst market days in RECENT MEMORY. If the decline continues, it could become the WORST DAY OF THE YEAR for both the NASDAQ and S&P 500. The post-Democrat election market rally has completely disappeared.

I’m only going to say this TWICE. If you’re under 45, the next market CRASH could be a generational opportunity to BUY deeply undervalued stocks at a massive discount. Here are 5 stocks I believe have the potential to 10X: 1. $SPCX

🚨 WOW. Hillary Clinton says Democrats should bring Elon Musk before Congress even if President Trump pardons him, arguing that he would no longer be able to plead the Fifth Amendment! HILLARY: “You cannot take the Fifth Amendment because you have no jeopardy. So let him pardon Elon, and then let’s call him in and find out what he has to say!” Will she ever apply that same logic to people like Fauci, who refused to answer questions despite receiving a pardon? TIME TO PROTECT ELON AT ALL COSTS! 🙏🏻 Democrats haven’t even been sworn in, and the revenge tour is already being planned. This is exactly the kind of weaponization voters were warned about! Get ready for the circus. Here are the 5 space stocks that can 10x: 1. $SPXC (SpaceX): ~$18.7B revenue in 2025, Starlink + reusable rockets + AI, unmatched vertical integration. 2. $RKLB TTM revenue $769M (+52%), $2.36B backlog, launch + space systems dual engine. 3. $ASTS 2025 revenue $71M → 2026

As the election draws to a close, President Trump has congratulated the Democratic Party on their victory in the midterm elections. President Trump stated: "The stock market has just hit another all-time high." I’ll say this only once. This could be the fastest way to accumulate $1 million by the end of 2026: $TSLA (Tesla) → $385 — a must-buy $MRVL (Marvell) → $155 — a must-buy $NVDA (NVIDIA) → $200 — a must-buy $SPCX (SpaceX) → $132— a must-buy $BE (Bloom Energy) → $193 — a must-buy $MU (Micron Technology) → $800 — a must-buy People ask, "Why don't you charge a fee?"

This might surprise you. 2,800 U.S. stocks are currently trading at least 30% below their 52-week highs. Yes, you read that correctly: 2,800 stocks. But here’s what makes this even more striking: That represents roughly HALF of the U.S. stocks in this group already down 30% or more. And people still wonder why their portfolios aren't performing anything like the major indices. There’s a massive bear market unfolding beneath the surface, even as the headline indices tell a very different story.

TRUMP HAS FIVE DAYS UNTIL THE US MIDTERMS. THE FED JUST HELD INTEREST RATES STEADY. AND NOW, HIS VICE PRESIDENT IS REACHING OUT TO IRAN TO RESTART PEACE TALKS. I think we're watching an extraordinary situation unfold across financial markets. Look at the numbers: 🇺🇸 US inflation: 3.7% 🛢️ Brent crude: around $115 a barrel 📈 US 10-year Treasury yield: 5.05% 🏦 Federal Reserve interest rates: 3.75%–4.00% And Americans head to the polls on November 3. Yesterday, the Federal Reserve voted 10–2 to leave interest rates unchanged. But TWO officials favored another rate hike. The Fed acknowledged that inflation remains elevated while describing economic growth as strong. Kevin Warsh made it clear that policymakers want more information before deciding what comes next. Now look at the Middle East. The Wall Street Journal reports that Vice President JD Vance has written to Mohsen Rezaei, one of Iran's most influential security officials, in an effort to restart peace negotiations. Qatar has also presented Tehran with a new proposal. But a senior Iranian official has already described the latest ideas as unacceptable. Washington is trying to reopen diplomatic channels. Iran is still demanding concessions. Trump has previously raised the possibility of further military action. And the American election is just FIVE DAYS away. I'm treating the renewed optimism around peace talks with considerable caution. We've already been through several rounds of negotiations. Meanwhile, Brent remains around $115 a barrel. Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is still disrupted. And energy infrastructure across the region remains vulnerable to further attacks. Personally, I continue to see substantial upside risk in oil if diplomacy fails. I've discussed the possibility of Brent reaching $150 in another major supply disruption. I wouldn't rule out $200 in a much more severe scenario. These are not guaranteed price targets. A credible agreement that restores physical supply could send oil sharply lower. But I don't believe the underlying risks have disappeared. AND YESTERDAY'S BOND MARKET REACTION DESERVES PARTICULAR ATTENTION. Look at what happened after the Fed held rates. The US 2-year Treasury yield fell from 4.70% to 4.67%. Meanwhile, the US 10-year yield ROSE from 4.99% to 5.05%. Short-term yields fell. Long-term yields rose. That's a very different reaction from the broad Treasury rally we witnessed earlier this month. Investors appeared less concerned about immediate policy tightening, while longer-term borrowing costs moved higher. That could reflect several factors, including persistent inflation, Treasury supply, and the premium investors demand for lending over longer periods. We shouldn't automatically attribute the entire move to a single explanation. But it matters. Because even if the Fed pauses rate hikes, rising long-term borrowing costs can keep financial conditions restrictive. Mortgage rates. Corporate financing. Government borrowing costs. And the enormous sums companies are investing in artificial intelligence. All become increasingly sensitive to the cost of money. Today, we're also getting US GDP and PCE inflation data. Two major economic releases arriving less than 24 hours after the Fed decision. Strong growth combined with persistent inflation could reinforce expectations that interest rates need to remain elevated. But weakening growth alongside stubborn inflation would be a much more uncomfortable combination. Now add the possibility of another major oil supply shock. Higher energy prices could push inflation expectations higher. That could drive long-term yields up and put additional pressure on highly valued equities. However, if investors become more concerned about economic damage, demand for government bonds could return. That's why I'm watching the relationship between oil, Treasury yields, and the dollar so closely. I've spent 18 years watching these markets. One of the most useful lessons I've learned is that the market's reaction often tells you more than the announcement itself. Yesterday, the Fed didn't raise interest rates. Yet the 10-year Treasury yield finished HIGHER. Today, oil is falling on renewed diplomatic hopes. Yet Iran hasn't accepted the latest proposal. And we still don't have a lasting settlement. These aren't contradictions to ignore. They're signs that markets are trying to price several competing outcomes simultaneously. My biggest concern heading into November isn't simply whether Trump and Iran reach an agreement before the election. It's how financial markets react if the political deadline passes without one. A lasting agreement could relieve considerable pressure on energy markets. Another serious escalation could reignite inflation concerns just as the Fed is assessing whether its current policy is restrictive enough. And with long-term Treasury yields already around 5%, that would be a difficult environment for the global economy. Five days until the midterms. The Fed has paused. Washington is trying to restart negotiations. Iran is rejecting the latest proposals. And oil remains around $110–$115 a barrel. I certainly wouldn't assume the market has finished repricing this conflict. I'm interested in your view: DO WE GET A PEACE AGREEMENT BEFORE NOVEMBER 3? OR DOES THE BIGGER MARKET RISK COME AFTER THE ELECTION?
