Ken Griffin revealed the only thing he actually looks for when hiring at Citadel. Not your GPA, not your pedigree nor 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.

Ken Griffin started Citadel in a Harvard dorm room in 1987 with $265,000 raised from friends and family. He put a satellite dish on the roof of his building, ran a cable through an old elevator shaft, and pulled it through his window to get real-time stock quotes. In the 24 months before the 2008 financial crisis, Citadel earned $13 billion in trading profits. More than Amazon had made in its entire history at that point. Then Lehman failed. Citadel lost hundreds of millions of dollars a week. CNBC parked a van outside their office waiting to break the story of their collapse. By the end of 2008 they had lost half their capital. Here is how they survived. Every single day, they did whatever it took to buy one more day. Sold assets. Closed business lines. Let people go. Suspended redemptions. The management team personally absorbed $500 million in costs to show their investors they believed in the firm's future. One painful decision at a time. "Often the choice was between painful and more painful. But day by day, we bought ourselves a future." The lesson Griffin took from it came from Andrew Carnegie: take away my factories, my ships, my money, strip me of everything. Leave me my people. In two or three years I will have it all again.

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.

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.

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.

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

$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.

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.

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)

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.
