$SPY $DIA $VTI $VTIP $VOO It is hibernation time. "Treasury yields jumped on Wednesday after the Treasury Department said it's going to triple its buyback operation of longer-dated government debt to $6.X billion. The move follows the Treasury Department's announcement last month that it's going to at least double the level of government debt buybacks. Following the announcement, the 10-year Treasury note yield rose to 4.857%, reaching its highest level since November 2023. The yield had briefly climbed above the closely watched 4.8% level on Tuesday as rising oil prices added to concerns about inflation." https://www.cnbc.com/2026/09/08/stock-market-today-live-updates.html

$DIA $SPY $QQQ $VTI $VTIP The AI bear case: Accounting depreciation is slower than economic depreciation. A $30K GPU depreciated straight-line over 6 years is worth $20K on the books after 2 years, but compute is being commoditized (per Jensen). A newer GPU can make the old one economically obsolete long before the accounting schedule says so. That's the risk: billions in AI infrastructure debt are being underwritten against future compute cash flows, not the physical GPUs themselves. If GPU rental prices fall faster than the depreciation schedule, book value, financing value and real-world value diverge. The GPU doesn't need to be worthless, it just needs to be worth less than the debt against it. This is not (overt) fraud. It is convenient oversight. Asset values that look durable on paper, but the underlying economics move much faster. https://www.reuters.com/commentary/breakingviews/financiers-are-set-turn-nvidia-into-an-ai-baron-2026-09-02/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

$NVDA $SPY $DIA $VTI $VTIP Remember "The Smartest Guys in the Room", history is rhyming: Jensen’s “commoditize compute” thesis risks being Enron’s electricity thesis with a trillion-dollar industrial build-out attached. The mistake is confusing the creation of a market with the creation of economic value. Enron believed that if electricity could be standardized, traded, and "financialized", enormous value would follow. It didn’t. The danger for NVIDIA is that commoditizing GPUs could produce the same outcome: an industry spends staggering amounts of capital making compute abundant and interchangeable, only to discover that abundance destroys the scarcity/margins that justified the investment in the first place. Enron tried to commoditize electrons; Jensen wants to commoditize compute. The difference is that Jensen has convinced the world to finance the commodity buildout before we know whether the commodity economics work. https://www.transformernews.ai/p/will-bets-on-price-of-compute-help-or-harm-ai-economy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enron_scandal

$DIA $VOO $VTIP $DJT$SPY Oil will break $100 in the near future, it then stays elevated with little hope of short-term reprieve. Oil exporters are offering 3 year guaranteed contracts to shippers at extraordinary (5x-10x) rates for Hormuz commitments. These contracts are generally short-term, or single transfer deals. The fact oil giants are willing to go under contract for a multi-year duration is indicating the view this will be a prolonged conflict, if not the new status quo. They are not going to absorb these costs, it will be passed to the consumers. Also, these lucrative payments are likely to change the behavior and expectations of shippers around the world.

$QQQ $VTI $DIA $VTIP $DJT I am amazed that no one considers the obvious: What if this giant Tech bubble is a series of tiny lies that have together grown so big it has become a massive conspiracy? Trump came into office and the first thing he did was pump the brakes on the SEC, FCC, FBI, and bureaucratic oversight agencies. There is no one on the federal level who is going to investigate these companies for financial malfeasance and even more important, to determine if their actions are harmful to voters. Do we really trust the world's richest and most powerful to self police? Remember how well that worked during the financial crisis? That was sparked by bank deregulation. These self-described "geniuses" are another group who think they are the 'Smartest People in the Room'. History has a way of humbling investors who ignore hubris. If so smart, can they explain how they are going to double the economy when business margins are already exceptionally tight?

Debt will continue to rise, ability to fulfill payment will continue to decrease. The more the government buys, the more foreign investment will expect back. Simultaneously, there have been significant drawdowns in the holdings of many of America's largest bond holders. We aren't buying bonds because it fixes the underlying problem. That would require a competent Fed, Congress and some major budgetary concessions. We are buying bonds to hide the problem. The size of the U.S. bond market is about $58 Trillion, there just isn't enough money. Let's just hope they don't start printing bills. https://www.economist.com/leaders/2026/08/26/america-will-regret-scott-bessents-bond-market-misadventures
