    Big Tech Earnings: Can AI Deliver on the Hype?

    JFDI and Father of Trades join Avi Mash for big tech earnings week. They break down why Meta round-tripped after a $25 billion stock sale and a $97 billion raise, what Microsoft's reported layoffs mean for AI and jobs, and the memory trade in Micron and SK Hynix. They also compare Robinhood, SoFi and Coinbase, make their calls on Microsoft and Amazon earnings, explain how the Anthropic IPO could pull the broader market down, and dig into the CCXI deal for Agility Robotics and Cingulate (CING).

    The $1 Trillion AI Test: Is Wall Street in Trouble?

    Avi Mash and Jody Flournoy dig into Anthropic's S1 numbers ($141B raised, $575M a month in free cash flow), Elon Musk saying debt markets have shut for companies without real revenue, and what a $1.5T Anthropic valuation would mean for Google, Microsoft and Amazon. They cover the Tesla and SpaceX merger talk, earnings week (Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Robinhood, Reddit) and Eli Lilly's GLP-1 moat at $1.2T. Then Bitcoin: Strive buying 6,182 BTC while Strategy paused its buys to buy back STRC, and why they won't buy the Anthropic IPO on day one.

    Adrian Morris on AI, $ASST, $MSTR and $SATS

    Jody and Avi sit down with Adrian Morris of True North, who wrote the long research paper on Strategy's Stretch buybacks. He compares Strive's new SATS preferred (15% fixed) with Stretch, explains why his modeling found the Stretch buybacks indistinct from zero on price, and why he doesn't see MSTR common stock buybacks moving the needle either. Then the AI question: whether AI capex and raises like Nebius are pulling capital out of bitcoin (his take is that expectations are the real risk, not a rotation), what Metaplanet needs to win back retail trust, why converts come back once bitcoin is much bigger, Vivek Ramaswamy's idea of putting part of Ohio's pensions in bitcoin, and a future where bitcoin sits at $500K and no one blinks. They close on Q4, Adrian's case that AI is about 98.5% of the way to AGI and only needs to be a genius, not a god machine, and rising above AI slop.

    Jeff Walton on Strive $SATS and British HODL on $MSTR

    Jody sits down with Jeff Walton, Chief Risk Officer at Strive, to break down SATS, Strive's new fixed rate perpetual preferred that pays $15 per share a year (15% at its $100 par) and sits junior to SATA. Jeff walks through how it compares with SATA and Strategy's Stretch, why he sees capital and capital structure as Strive's moat, and what changed after the warrants expired on October 13 with about 94% of that capital, roughly $700 million, in the door. Then British HODL joins to talk Strategy using cash to buy back Stretch and trusting management, why he says serious capital isn't going into self custody after two of his videos moved $130 to $150 million into IBIT, Grant Cardone's blend of real estate and bitcoin, and why he sees $126K as a mid-cycle top on the way to his $340K target.

    JFDI and Father of Trades join Avi for a tech earnings preview. They cover BlackBerry's QNX royalty backlog hitting $1.25 billion, the AI infrastructure trade (Nebius, CoreWeave, IREN, AAOI, Aehr), why Father of Trades is shorting SpaceX into its earnings tonight (no profit yet, heavy spending and a 28% share unlock), Tesla's PE of 329 ahead of its report, Netflix, Texas Instruments and Meta's capex.

    Joe Consorti joins host Jody Flournoy on Macro Mondays to break down the MSCI index decision on Strategy ($MSTR), Strategy's $STRC buybacks back to par, and why he thinks bitcoin can blast through $100,000. Then Artem Ponomarev, CEO of X-Place, explains borrowing against stocks and bitcoin and why he expects the biggest bull run ever. Joe walks through the numbers on MSCI forced selling, the Fed and $100 oil, why he treats MSTR as a trade and bitcoin as savings, what people get wrong about treasury company leverage, paper bitcoin, and Michael Burry versus the Fed backstop.

    $DRAM Beat Down | Eyes on Fed

    JFDI and Father of Trades join the show to debate whether another 25 to 50 basis points of Fed hikes would be healthy for this market, and how often the Fed has hiked back to back before. Then the DRAM beat down: SanDisk and Micron charts, China's CXMT memory push, and whether Micron looks like a bubble at about 7x forward earnings. Also covered: bank earnings from JPMorgan, Goldman and Citi, the Broadcom CEO's comments, how NASDAQ options dealers are positioned into big tech earnings, Fermi's TensorWave and AMD news, and two small-cap ideas, AirJoule (AIRJ) and ICU.

    Stop Paying For Heat (Mine Bitcoin Instead)

    Dane from Hashrate House joins the show to explain how a bitcoin miner can replace the heating element in your water heater, hot tub, radiant floor or driveway, so the heat you already pay for pays you back in sats. He walks through why he went from 80 decibel S19s to silent immersion systems, what a home install takes (a plumber and an L6-30 plug), the ROI question against a 10,000 dollar furnace, writing the gear off as a business expense, and why home miners help decentralize the network. Also covered: mining 101 and the 3.125 bitcoin block reward, home mining vs hosting, natural gas and cold climates, Airbnb hot tubs as a sunk cost, and how to reach Hashrate House.
