Ken Griffin just revealed the only thing he actually looks for when hiring at Citadel. Not your GPA. Not your pedigree. Not your internship list. He wants one type of person: the athlete who excelled academically. Here's why that combination matters to him. The athlete knows what it takes to win. They've also felt what it's like to lose. That experience of pushing through both, and still showing up, is something you can't learn in a classroom. The academic side tells him something different. It tells him the person knows how to manage their time. That they have the discipline to apply their mind under pressure. That when things get hard, they'll find a way through. Griffin calls it perseverance and grit paired with high aspirations. That's the profile he's building Citadel's AI team around. Think about what that means for where the talent wars in finance and AI are headed. The people running the biggest pots of money in the world aren't just looking for quants anymore.

Mark Cuban has sold majority of his Bitcoin. Cuban originally bought Bitcoin with one thesis in mind: "It was a better version of gold than gold." A hedge against fiat currency losing its value. When the dollar weakens, Bitcoin should go up. But that thesis just blew up in his face. During the Iran war, when geopolitical risk was spiking and the dollar was sliding, Bitcoin dropped. Gold went to $5,000. Think about what he was expecting. Bitcoin is priced in dollars. When the dollar falls, Bitcoin becomes cheaper for buyers around the world. Global demand should kick in and push the price up. It didn't happen. Gold did exactly what it was supposed to do as a macro hedge. Bitcoin didn't. And for Cuban, that was the line. The whole premise of holding it was gone. He's more disappointed in Bitcoin than Ethereum. He had already written off memecoins as garbage entirely. This matters beyond just one billionaire's portfolio decision. The "Bitcoin as digital gold" narrative has been the backbone of institutional adoption for years. It's the reason pension funds, family offices, and corporate treasuries started buying. If that hedge thesis is broken, the next buyer at these prices needs a different reason to hold. The honest reality: Bitcoin is still trading like a risk asset. It correlates with tech stocks in a downturn and doesn't decouple when it matters most. Gold doesn't have that problem.

$MRVL sits on both sides of the AI bottleneck at the same time (Save this). "Computing at this scale is fundamentally a connectivity challenge." That is Marvell CEO Matt Murphy explaining why the bottleneck has shifted from compute to connectivity. Marvell is a fabless chip designer meaning it designs chips and outsources the manufacturing. Its portfolio now spans five areas at once: 1. It holds a near monopoly on optical DSPs, the chips that act as the brains inside optical transceiver modules, through its 1.6T Nova platform. 2. It makes the coherent DSPs that carry data between data centers over long distances. 3. It supplies the physical layer chips that every chip to chip connection depends on. 4. Its ethernet cable business is on pace to cross $300 million this year and is guided above $600 million next year. 5. It is building custom AI chips for AWS, Microsoft and more than 50 pipeline customers targeting over $10 billion in custom chip revenue by fiscal 2029. The last point is the most important. Hyperscalers are increasingly designing their own chips to cut their dependence on Nvidia's expensive GPUs and Marvell is the second largest player building those chips behind Broadcom. In February, Marvell closed its acquisition of Celestial AI, a deal worth up to $5.5 billion, specifically for its photonic fabric technology. Nvidia backed this thesis directly. Jensen Huang put $2 billion into Marvell in March through NVLink Fusion, a program that lets custom chips connect into Nvidia's broader infrastructure. In June, at Computex, he called Marvell the next trillion dollar company. The stock popped 25% on that comment. $MRVL is now down about 37% from the all-time high it set on June 18. Our PRO team's Melvin has been buying the entire way down from $269 in late June through $186 last week. He does not see much room below $150 and expects earnings to reprice the story again. If you want to see what else he holds alongside $MRVL, check out his entire portfolio for $1. Link in first comment below.

Ken Griffin asked a Harvard recruit what he would do if he made $10 million. The answer: quit and climb the highest peaks around the world. After this response, he strongly urged him not to take the job. He didn't want someone at 22 years old who already had a number in their head, a point at which they'd cash out and walk away. That mindset was fundamentally incompatible with what he was building. What he wanted to hear instead was how the person planned to climb the next mountain at Citadel. The $10 million is the evidence that you were very successful at something, which means you've earned the right to take on more responsibility and have a bigger impact. The people who build enduring things aren't running toward a finish line. They're running because the running itself is what they want to do and every milestone just opens up a larger set of problems worth solving.

Neoclouds like $CRWV & $NBIS are the most durable businesses according to Gavin Baker. The reason CoreWeave can charge a significant premium for its GPU hours is that not all GPU hours are the same. CoreWeave's GPUs are being utilized two to three times more per hour on average than a lower-quality provider's. That utilization gap is the product for $CRWV. In 2005, all you had to do to build a $50 billion market cap retailer was run 1,000 stores across 50 states with different climates and different consumer preferences. That's all you gotta do but in all of American history, roughly only ten companies have managed it. Running a GPU cluster at CoreWeave's utilization rates is harder than that. And don't forget about their impressive customers. $CRWV have over $63 billion in disclosed customer commitments this year alone: - OpenAI alone committed over $21B through 2031 - Meta committed $35B+ - Nvidia signed a $6.3B deal as a paying customer - Jane Street dropped $6B in April. - Anthropic signed a multi-billion dollar deal as well

Bill Ackman has dumped $GOOG to buy $MSFT (Save this). "We sold Google not because we didn't think it was an amazing business but rather because the price got to a level where we felt the go-forward return was lower than what could be achieved by redeploying the capital into Microsoft." In the first quarter of 2026, Pershing Square cut its Alphabet stake by roughly 95% and used the proceeds to build a new position in Microsoft, now worth about $2.3 billion. Ackman was explicit that this was not a bearish call on Google. He still calls it an amazing business. This was pure capital reallocation math. Two things matter to him as investor: 1. The quality and durability of the business 2. The price you pay for it. When a great business gets priced past your return threshold, you sell it, even if you still love it and you move the capital somewhere the math works better. $MSFT is where that math currently works better. The stock fell from a 52 week high near $555 down to the $400 range, still sitting about 27% below its highs even after bouncing nearly 5% over the past month. That drawdown came even as Microsoft keeps expanding Azure, keeps backing OpenAI and keeps pouring capital into the same AI data center buildout every other hyperscaler is chasing. The business behind that drop has not broken. Microsoft still does about $282 billion in annual revenue with a 39% profit margin.

Leopold Aschenbrenner has approached existing investors for fresh capital after the ongoing selloff. "We call out opportunities that seem like a particularly good time to add funds if you have been waiting for one." Here's what the fund was holding when the drawdown hit. His long book leans on the physical layer of AI rather than the software layer: chips, power, and data centers. $BE is reportedly his single largest position with $NBIS and $AMD also named among his holdings alongside $CRWV, $SNDK and $ORCL. Two of those names are not new information to our team. Our PRO analysts bought $BE and $NBIS as core positions way back in February. Aschenbrenner is now trying to raise fresh money to buy more of: - AI infrastructure stocks - Physical bottlenecks (power, memory, and compute) Our PRO analysts are tracking this very closely and are making trades around this thesis.

$MRVL is the biggest position in Jordi Visser's portfolio. He believes that Marvell is going to significantly benefit from Nvidia's Vera Rubin platform. Right now, Marvell has 18 active custom chip programs and a dozen of them sit inside the four biggest hyperscalers on the planet. Management just guided fiscal 2027 revenue to $11.5 billion, up 40% year over year. Revenue moves from $8.7 billion over the last twelve months to $16.7 billion by fiscal 2028 and $23.3 billion by fiscal 2029, nearly tripling in three years. Jensen Huang thinks $MRVL will become a trillion dollar company in the next 3 years. Valued at $225B today, that's 4x trade for everyone who gets in now. Jensen has also invested $2 billion into Marvell in March. When a hyperscaler hires Marvell to build its AI accelerator, Marvell also sells the switches, the optical interconnects, the memory fabric and the retimers that go around it. One customer win turns into four or five revenue streams. Our analysts remain bullish on $MRVL. Jordi Visser's two biggest positions are $MRVL and $LLY. Our analysts hold both assets in their portfolios. Start your $1 trial and see the full portfolio of each of our five analysts. Link in first comment below.

Stan Druckenmiller: "If the reason I bought a stock is no longer the case, I don't care what I paid for it." He bought at $60. It drops to $50. Most investors sit paralyzed waiting to get back to where they started. Druckenmiller has zero emotion about it and sells immediately. "I just don't care what I paid for a stock. It's absolutely irrelevant to my investment process going forward." This is actually what support and resistance on a chart is measuring. Resistance at $60 means a crowd of people bought at $60, watched it fall, and have been waiting three or four years just to break even. While they waited, they missed everything that was going up the whole time. Anchoring to your cost basis is one of the most expensive habits in investing. But Druckenmiller pairs this with something most people struggle to do at the same time: concentration. "Not being afraid of concentration is a big reason for my success." He plays across five buckets: equities, bonds, currencies, commodities, and credit. When one market has no clear edge, he finds one that does and sizes up there instead. That combination is what kept him from ever having a down year. Our analysts use the same thesis with investing. Even though $MU & $NBIS are down 30%, the fundamentals still haven't changed. Our analysts continue to buy the dip because the thesis is still intact. You can follow their exact portfolios for $1 at Milk Road PRO. (link in bio)

Chris Camillo made the most bullish case on $AMZN. Everyone worried when Amazon raised their capex to $200 billion Camillo believes they might make that $200 billion back on their Anthropic investment alone when Anthropic IPOs. What Amazon has done in the last 18 months is remarkable in scope. They didn't try to win the foundation model race against OpenAI and Google directly. They went a completely different direction, positioning themselves as the infrastructure underneath everything that is AI. Trainium chips, cloud buildout, advertising integration and equity stakes in two of the three most important AI companies on the planet. First Anthropic. Now $50 billion into OpenAI on top of that. And that OpenAI investment isn't just a financial bet. It ties OpenAI into Amazon's cloud ecosystem, probably permanently. Two of the big three AI labs now run on Amazon infrastructure. Google is the only one that doesn't. The market has spent two years debating who builds the best model. Amazon decided to own the plumbing those models run on and bought equity in the winners while they were at it.

$MRVL is where $MU was a year ago. Jordi Visser thinks Marvell has a chance to be a Micron-type name over the course of the next two years. To understand what that means, you have to understand what Micron was. A year ago, Visser wrote a paper on inference demand and the amount of memory that AI chips would need relative to GPUs. He flagged a handful of names, most of them are now up 4x-8x. $MU was the clearest expression of that thesis. When a generalist investor can identify the constraint and write a paper about it, it usually means there's still runway left. When everyone knows, the trade is over. Memory is now in that second phase. The DRAM ETF pulled in six billion dollars in a short window, one of the fastest ETF inflows in history. Retail is heavily involved so the near-term risk-reward has changed and Jordi has trimmed accordingly. $MRVL is where memory was a year ago. It only broke out two months ago. The optical interconnect thesis is less crowded and harder for competitors to replicate. Marvell is also directly tied to the Vera Rubin architecture that hasn't launched yet. The comparison to Micron is about the stage of the trade. Milk Road PRO has been in $MRVL since before the breakout. Start your $1 trial and see the full setup. Link in bio.

The bull case for AI isn't zero-sum. It might literally be that everyone wins. "Anthropic wins, OpenAI wins, SpaceX wins, Meta wins... open source wins, NeoClouds win, inference clouds win." And $NVDA sits at the center of all of it. FT Gavin Baker David George a16z.

People saying crypto has "missed out" on this bull run are thinking about it wrong. In late 2021, NASDAQ rallied for 10 straight weeks while Bitcoin was flat. Then Bitcoin took off 80% while NASDAQ gained just 7-8%. "Right now you are at peak fear for crypto. But you are starting euphoria on stocks." When pullbacks come in equities, the rotation into crypto follows. Four to ten weeks is all it takes for an altcoin rally of 200-300%. FT Henrik Zeberg.

Netflix co-founder: "Business is not about having a good idea" His framing: Having ideas is easy and trivial. The important thing is figuring out the cheapest, quickest, most direct way to collide your idea with reality. He told the story of a university student who came to him with a peer-to-peer clothing sharing platform. She wanted to raise $5 million, hire a team and drop out of college. He stopped her and asked if she had a piece of paper, a marker, and a piece of tape. He told her to write "Would you like to borrow my clothes? Knock." on the paper and tape it to the outside of her dorm room door. Wait 24 hours. See if anyone knocks. If nobody knocks, she just learned the most important thing about her business. The problem with spending a year building in your bedroom is twofold: 1. The idea grows so large and complicated in your head that you convince yourself you need millions just to get started. 2. You are almost certainly building the wrong thing because you are working from imagination rather than real information. Don't build. Test first.

Oil service companies could be the sleeper trade here. Energy has been in the spotlight for 2-3 months but capital hasn't actually flowed into the service sector yet. Here's the thesis from Otavio (Tavi) Costa: As oil prices stay elevated, drilling activity is likely to pick up. And when producers drill more, oil service companies make more money. As global production needs increase (especially in North America), these companies win. This trade is still less crowded so there's more room for upside. Direct oil exposure is fine but service companies may be the smarter 3-5 year play.

Jordi Visser: "It would be very surprising if Micron doesn't become a $2T over the course of the next year." Micron did more revenue last quarter than Nvidia did when Nvidia was a $4T company. Micron isn't a $4T company yet because it's being valued like a memory cyclical that already peaked. But that's wrong. Imagine the planet's food supply was built for a stable population and then 4 billion more people showed up overnight. That's what happened to memory demand when the agentic AI era started. And if you add in the expected growth in humanoid robots and autonomous vehicles, the demand for memory is only going to grow. Each new category of AI hardware compounds the demand curve. Jordi's timeline puts this demand regime at 5 to 10 more years. The market is still skeptical on $MU (and the memory trade) because of its recent strength. But Jordi thinks the strength continues. Our analysts at Milk Road PRO have been in $MU for exactly this reason and see the trade extending to $4,000. Join PRO at a 33% discount and get access to all our analyst portfolios along with their rationale for each investment. (link in first comment below) FT Jordi Visser Anthony Pompliano 🌪 Pomp Podcast.
