Technology continues to shape both the markets and the investment landscape. We begin with a look at the week's biggest headlines—from Apple's new leasing strategy and a strong earnings season to renewed pressure on global semiconductor stocks. After the break, we discuss one of the most common challenges investors face: balancing competing priorities like income, growth, downside protection, and liquidity. We look at the tradeoffs behind every investment decision, why you can't compare your portfolio to the benchmark, and your asset allocation really needs to start with your financial plan.Finally, we talk about several high-profile prediction market cases and what they reveal about market integrity, manipulation, and the value of information.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J. Barker, CWS®, and Kelly-Lynne Scalice, a seasoned communicator and host, on Henssler Money Talks as they explore key financial strategies to help investors navigate market uncertainty.

Those Long-Term Chip Deals May Not Be as Secure as Investors Are Led to Believe When you listen to memory chip companies like Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron Technology discuss their businesses, they often make it sound like customer contracts—some extending as long as five years—are essentially set in stone. Unfortunately, that's not entirely true. Yes, these companies have long-term agreements in place, but contracts in this industry are often renegotiated when market conditions change. If demand for memory chips weakens significantly, chip manufacturers have a strong incentive to work with their customers rather than strictly enforce every contractual commitment. The reason is simple: preserving long-term customer relationships is often far more valuable than maximizing short-term revenue. Imagine a customer that suddenly doesn't need as many chips because its own sales have slowed. If a supplier forces that customer to accept unwanted inventory, those chips may simply sit in a warehouse until demand recovers. By the time the customer needs additional chips, it may choose to reduce future orders or move business to a competitor that proved to be more flexible during difficult times. Competitors are always looking for opportunities to gain market share. If one supplier refuses to work with its customers, another is usually willing to offer better pricing or more favorable terms. Losing a major customer over a rigid interpretation of a contract can cost far more in future profits than making temporary concessions during a downturn. This isn't just theory and it has happened before. During the COVID-era, many long-term agreements were adjusted as demand shifted. Rather than forcing customers to take products they no longer needed, suppliers often renegotiated delivery schedules and purchasing commitments to preserve long-term partnerships. The same principle applies across many industries. Companies frequently modify or delay large commercial agreements when business conditions change. While contracts provide a framework, successful businesses understand that maintaining trust with key customers is often more important than enforcing every clause to the letter. Investors should remember that a signed contract does not necessarily guarantee future revenue will be recognized exactly as originally planned. Management teams often emphasize the value of their long-term agreements during earnings calls, but those agreements can evolve if market conditions deteriorate. At the end of the day, great businesses understand that customer relationships are built over years but can be damaged in a matter of weeks. In many cases, giving a customer flexibility during a downturn is a much better investment than insisting on strict contract enforcement. That's why investors should view long-term chip contracts as valuable, but not invincible. Why Index Investing Could Leave You Disappointed Long Term I often hear people say, "Just buy the S&P 500 and forget about it. You'll be fine." While that sounds simple, investing is rarely that easy. Many investors don't fully understand how an index works or why it has performed so well in recent years. The S&P 500 has been driven largely by a handful of technology and AI companies. By blindly investing in the index, many people are simply participating in a momentum strategy without realizing it. Very little thought is given to what those 500 companies are actually worth. There is no effort to trim positions that have become extremely expensive or overly concentrated. As valuations climb, the index simply gives those companies an even larger weighting, leaving investors with greater exposure to the stocks that have already gone up the most. Some people respond by saying, "I won't put everything in the S&P 500. I'll diversify into other index funds." But once you go down that road, investing becomes much more complicated and you'll likely underperform the S&P 500. Should you own an international index? A European index? A bond index? A growth index? A value index? Small-cap funds? REITs? There are hundreds of ETFs and mutual funds to choose from. Now you have another challenge: deciding how much to allocate to each one. When your portfolio declines will you understand why? More importantly, will you know what to do next? Many investors don't, and that uncertainty often leads to emotional decisions at exactly the wrong time. This is why I prefer managing a portfolio of individual value-oriented stocks, combined with money market funds and selected real estate investment trusts (REITs). That approach still provides diversification, but I understand what each investment is worth and why I own it. In my view, that's a much better foundation than owning five or ten different index funds without truly understanding what's inside them or how they're valued. Another common argument for index investing is lower fees. While fees certainly matter, they shouldn't be the only factor. The number that ultimately matters is your total return after all fees and expenses. A lower fee doesn't automatically translate into better long-term performance. If you own index funds, take some time to look under the hood. Do you really understand what you own? Do you know which sectors dominate your portfolio, which companies make up the largest holdings, and how expensive those businesses are today? If the answer is no, don't assume you'll be comfortable when the market experiences its next major decline. Investors who don't understand what they own are often the first to panic, and that confusion can lead to costly investment mistakes. The U.S. economy is still in much better shape than many people think. This week brought three major events for investors: GDP, PCE inflation, and the Federal Reserve meeting. While the headlines may have sounded mixed, the underlying data still paints a healthy consumer. Second-quarter GDP grew at a 1.5% annualized rate, below economists' expectations. At first glance, that may seem disappointing. But when you look under the hood, the economy continues to show resilience. Consumer spending, which accounts for nearly 70% of U.S. GDP, increased 3.2% after a weak first quarter where it only climbed 0.5%. That tells me the American consumer is still in good shape, and that's one of the biggest reasons the economy continues to avoid the recession that so many have been predicting. Major drags on the headline GDP figure included government spending, which reduced growth by 0.14 percentage points, as well as the more volatile components of trade and the change in private inventories, which subtracted 1.01 and 0.67 percentage points, respectively. Inflation remains the biggest challenge. The Fed's preferred inflation measure, core PCE, increased 3.3% over the past year. While that's an improvement from where we've been, it's still well above the Federal Reserve's 2% target. I continue to believe inflation will remain sticky until energy prices become more stable. Energy impacts transportation, manufacturing, and virtually every supply chain, so it's difficult to see inflation falling sustainably while energy costs remain volatile. The Fed, as expected, left interest rates unchanged. What stood out wasn't the decision, it was the growing disagreement among policymakers. The 3 dissents that voted for a 25-basis point increase highlight just how uncertain the economic outlook remains. When inflation is still elevated but the economy continues to grow, there isn't an easy policy answer. One thing I do like so far is Kevin Warsh's changes at the Fed. I like the simplified statement, the encouragement of differing viewpoints, and rather than projecting absolute confidence in economic forecasts, he has acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding them. That's a refreshing change. Economic forecasting has never been an exact science, and I would rather have a Fed Chair who recognizes the limitations of those projections than one who pretends they are precise. What's surprising is how quickly some of the talking heads have claimed Warsh already has a credibility problem. I don't see it that way. Credibility isn't about making bold predictions that later need to be revised. It's about being honest about what we know, what we don't know, and allowing incoming data to guide policy. The takeaway for investors is simple: don't let one headline drive your investment decisions. The economy continues to expand, consumers are still spending, inflation remains stubborn, and the Fed is navigating a difficult policy environment. Looking beneath the surface is often where you'll find the real story. Leverage Is Fuel... Until It Becomes the Fire The last few weeks have been a reminder that leverage looks like a wonderful tool on the way up... but it's a devastating one on the way down. FINRA's new margin rules have effectively replaced the 25-year-old Pattern Day Trader rule, allowing traders with as little as $2,000 to make unlimited day trades using intraday margin. While this opens the door for more retail participation, it also means more investors have access to leverage, something that has historically magnified both gains and losses. This is a big problem considering FINRA margin debt climbed 49% year over year to another record in June of roughly $1.5 trillion. This comes as investor net credit balances have fallen to a record negative $1.06 trillion. In other words, investors collectively owe more on margin than they have sitting in cash accounts. For comparison's sake, in March 2000 this measure stood at a negative $0.13 trillion. That's an aggressive setup if volatility returns. We also saw this past week the spectacular collapse of Leopold Aschenbrenner's AI-focused hedge fund, Situational Awareness, which shows what can happen when conviction is paired with excessive leverage. The near 25-year-old Aschenbrenner was painted as a genius with strong credentials like being Columbia University's valedictorian at age 19. His fund was launched in July 2024 and he had no experience managing money before that. Before this month's decline the fund had gains of more than 1,000% since inception. The fund used tons of leverage with some saying as much as 400% to build massive positions in AI and semiconductor stocks while shorting stocks in the software space like Adobe. The problem is when names like Coreweave, Nebius, and Sandisk fell more than 50% from their highs and the software stocks rallied, margin calls forced the liquidation of most of its public equity portfolio. The result was staggering considering the fund peaked at above $45 billion in assets and with the selloff they plunged to around $10 billion. This forced a fire sale of assets at a discount to Ken Griffin's Citadel. Some speculate that the forced selling may have helped create the bottom. Once one of the market's largest leveraged sellers had finished liquidating, the selling pressure eased and many AI stocks staged a sharp rebound. Others believe the selling is not over as Michael Burry reportedly used Thursday's powerful rally as an opportunity to increase several of his bearish positions in Micron, Nvidia and the VanEck Semiconductor ETF. Whether he's ultimately right or wrong remains to be seen, but it's a reminder that some experienced investors still believe AI-related valuations and leverage remain stretched. Here Come the Robots! Robots have been making their way into manufacturing for decades. The first industrial robotic arm, called Unimate, was installed in 1961 on the assembly line at a General Motors plant in Trenton, New Jersey. But today's robots are very different. They're no longer just stationary robotic arms bolted to the factory floor, they're starting to look and move like humans. That reality is beginning to make workers uneasy. At a Hyundai Motor plant in South Korea, employees have gone on a partial strike, with concerns over automation playing a role. Hyundai recently unveiled its humanoid robot, Atlas, which stands 6'2", weighs about 200 pounds, can lift up to 110 pounds, and can continuously carry nearly 70 pounds. It's easy to understand why workers are wondering what these machines could mean for their jobs. South Korea is already the world leader in industrial robot adoption, with approximately 1,220 industrial robots for every 10,000 manufacturing employees. By comparison, the United States has around 307 robots per 10,000 workers. One statistic that surprised me was China, which currently has only about 166 industrial robots per 10,000 manufacturing workers. If Elon Musk has anything to say about it, those numbers could change dramatically over the next several years. Tesla is aggressively developing its humanoid robot, Optimus, with the goal of having it help build vehicles in its factories before long. If that vision becomes reality, other manufacturers will almost certainly follow. The idea of humanoid robots can be unsettling, but the transition is likely to be slower than many people expect. Industry forecasts suggest that global annual production of humanoid robots could reach roughly 1.2 million units by 2030. While that sounds like a large number, it's still a tiny fraction of the global workforce. So, we're probably still a few years away from living like The Jetsons. If you're not familiar with the cartoon, it debuted in September 1962 and imagined a future filled with flying cars and household robots. I guess I will have to wait a few more years to get a maid like the Jetsons had named Rosie the robot. Financial Planning: Tax Relief Coming for Older Home Sellers? The federal home sale capital gain exclusion has remained unchanged since 1997, allowing homeowners to exclude up to $250,000 of gain if single or $500,000 if married filing jointly when selling a primary residence. With home values rising significantly over the past three decades, particularly in high-cost areas like California, many long-time homeowners now face substantial capital gains taxes when downsizing. A new proposal, the Nest Egg Protection Act, would increase the exclusion to $1 million for homeowners age 65 and older who have owned and lived in their home for at least 25 years. This would allow more seniors to keep the equity they've built over a lifetime. In addition to providing tax relief, the proposal could encourage more older homeowners to sell, increasing housing inventory and making homeownership more attainable for first-time buyers. While the legislation has not yet been enacted and homeowners should continue planning under current law, the proposal reflects a growing recognition that the existing exclusion no longer aligns with today's housing market.

Apple heeft een erg goed kwartaal achter de rug. De omzet steeg flink, naar meer 109 miljard dollar. Dat is beter dan waarop was gerekend. Het waren vooral de iPhones die het ‘m deden. De helft van de omzet komt van de telefoons. En ook de winst (net geen 30 miljard) zag er perfect uit. Al met al mooie cijfers voor afzwaaiend topman Tim Cook. Alleen wordt zijn laatste optreden overschaduwd door een pijnlijke waarschuwing. Hij verwacht namelijk dat de chiptekorten de omzet én winst gaan raken. Deze aflevering hebben we het over die tegenvaller. Beleggers reageren heftig op het nieuws, wij zoeken uit of die reactie terecht is. Beter gaat het bij Amazon. Dat aandeel schiet omhoog. Beleggers reageren helemaal happy op de resultaten én de investeringsplannen van de techreus. Ook Amazon blijft als een malle geld in AI investeren. 220 miljard dollar dit jaar, weer 20 miljard dan eerder begroot. Alleen afgelopen kwartaal gaf het al 53 miljard uit aan nieuwe datacenters. Hebben we het ook over Universal Music Group. Dat opende ook de boeken, maar daar werd dan weer extreem somber op gereageerd. In korte tijd ging er meer dan 20 procent van de beurswaarde door het putje. Verder deze aflevering: Kan ASML de Chinese copycat's aan?

Today, we wonder if the back side of SK Hynix's earnings report overnight and the popping of the leveraged ETF bubble in some of the single tech names has now largely run its course - leaving the market for its next move - whether broadly up or otherwise. Certainly, a key event risk like today's FOMC and/or Friday's Bank of Japan meeting could serve as a pivot point. Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

One of the defining market stories of the past 12 months has not been AI chips that compute, but the chips that remember. Equity analyst Shan Rui Yeo explains how memory works, from DRAM and NAND to high bandwidth memory, and how an industry that destroyed wealth for four decades became disciplined after consolidating to three players in 2013. He then walks through what changed: AI inference has made memory the key bottleneck, memory content is climbing with each new generation of GPUs, and new supply takes three to four years to build. With prices up sharply and customers signing long-term agreements, Part 1 of this three-part conversation lands on a commodity industry whose business model is changing in real time. Key Takeaways Memory is a commodity with a three-to-four-year supply lag, which is why the cycle has always been difficult. Consolidation to three players in 2013 turned four decades of wealth destruction into at least 15% returns on capital through the cycles. In AI inference, memory bandwidth sets the speed of token generation, making memory the key bottleneck. NVIDIA's Rubin GPU carries 384 GB of DRAM, the equivalent of 32 iPhones per GPU, or 160 million iPhones across five million GPUs. HBM consumes three times the wafer capacity of standard DRAM (four times with HBM4) and is forecast to absorb 30% of DRAM wafers by 2027. DRAM contract prices are up roughly 200% year to date and 400 to 500% year over year, and price increases are reaching phones, laptops, and consoles. Customers are signing three-to-five-year agreements with prepayments, which could support a re-rating of memory companies.

29 Jul 2026. We continue the earnings conversation following SK Hynix's results and ahead of updates from the hyperscalers. Monte Safieddine of Capital.com explains what has been moving the tech sector and what could drive markets in the coming sessions. Also, Dan Richards of Emirates NBD looks ahead to the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate decision, the factors policymakers are weighing and why the decision has become so politically charged. We also looked at Aster Clinics’ AED 100 million plan to expand its UAE primary-care network to more than 100 facilities by 2030. Plus, Lara Ewing, Head of Dubai Opera, discusses the recovery of the live-events industry as more international performances are lined up in Dubai. And with some UAE residents reconsidering European holidays due to visa delays, Jatin Sharda of Tunz Travel explains how early travellers should apply and what to do if a visa does not arrive before a booked flight.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
SK Hynix had de hoogste winst uit de eigen geschiedenis. Maar beleggers wilden méér. ASM had de hoogste omzet uit de eigen geschiedenis, maar ook dat was niet genoeg. Beide aandelen werden keihard afgestraft. Deze aflevering hebben we het over de chiprally. Ondanks meer dan prima resultaten (en vooruitzichten) is het gedaan met de run op dit soort aandelen. In Nederland zijn ASML, Besi en ASMI sinds de piek vorige maand met tientallen procenten gedaald. We kijken of ( en hoe) die rally nog gereanimeerd kan worden. Hebben we het ook over de prestaties van NXP, nu we het toch over chips hebben. Dat zag de omzet én winst flink stijgen, maar beleggers hebben ook in dit aandeel even geen zin meer. Verder in deze aflevering: De FIFA wil aandelen gaan verkopen SpaceX en Tesla zijn samen 1500 miljard aan beurswaarde kwijt Porsche verkoopt minder auto's, maar maakt méér winst Hermés verkoopt meer, maar wordt gedumpt op de beurs Te gast: Martine Hafkamp van Fintessa Vermogensbeheer BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo.

Singapore Airlines falls into a quarterly loss as higher fuel costs and expenses linked to Air India weigh on earnings, sending its shares lower. Meanwhile, Singapore equities are heading for their best month since 2020, led by a powerful rally in bank stocks. We also look at Wall Street, where the Nasdaq-100 edges closer to correction territory as semiconductor shares weaken. SK Hynix disappoints despite record AI-driven revenue growth, Hongkong Land sees a turning point for Hong Kong office rents, and Singapore's newest IPO enjoys a strong market debut.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In today's BizNews Daybreak, SK Hynix posts profit gains while Nvidia's CEO defends open-weight AI amid safety warnings and new hacking reports. Ford raises its outlook and Visa cuts 2,600 jobs. In South Africa, SAPS data reveals over 99% of gun murders involve unlicensed firearms, while the Phala Phala impeachment battle reaches the Constitutional Court. Plus, analysts preview the US Fed interest rate decision and weigh oil market scenarios from $75 to $150 per barrel.
Muchos y variados protagonistas en esta jornada de jueves. Son de primer orden la reunión de la Fed y los resultados de Microsoft y Meta. Pero no se pierde de vista la situación en Oriente Medio. Los espectaculares resultados del fabricante de chips SK Hynix no logran disipar el temor de los inversores ante los riesgos de la IA. Los precios del petróleo suben más del 4% con la vuelta de los ataques entre Estados Unidos e Irán. La decisión de la Fed ya cogerá a Bolsas europeas cerradas. Se espera que el banco central mantenga tipos de interés. Todas las miradas estarán puestas en Kevin Warsh y en sus comentarios en busca de pistas sobre futuros movimientos. Mucho resultado en Europa. Y no poco en empresas Ibex. Las mayores subidas en el selectivo son para Grifols, Acciona y Endesa. Lideran las pérdidas Caixabank, Unicaja y Telefónica. El análisis es de Mar Jiménez, de Diverinvest.
US stock indices closed lower on Wednesday as investors following the Federal Reserve's policy decision and another selloff in chipmakers ahead of major tech earnings. The S&P 500 fell 1.5%, the Nasdaq 100 lost 2.1%, and the Dow shed 1,153 points. Microsoft shed 0.7% while Meta fell 1.3% ahead of their earnings reports after the bell, which investors are watching for signals on AI infrastructure spending. Concerns that AI-related capital spending has become excessive continued to pressure semiconductor stocks after disappointing results from SK Hynix. Nvidia fell 3.5%, Micron lost 9.9%, AMD dropped 5.5%, and Applied Materials slid 8.4%. The Fed left interest rates unchanged, as expected, though three FOMC members dissented in favor of a rate hike. Meanwhile, rising oil prices following renewed US-Iran strikes added to inflation concerns, pressuring the Dow. Visa gained 0.6% after reporting stronger-than-expected quarterly revenue.Meta down 11% after hours - Microsoft better - US Futures better - SPI down 51 - Quarterlies continueMarcus Today – Daily Market InsightsMarcus Today provides clear, practical commentary for self-directed investors – covering markets, portfolios, education, and decision-making without the noise.If you'd like to go further:Start a free 14-day trial of Marcus Today http://bit.ly/mt-trial-podcastJoin Marcus Today Use code MTPODCAST for 10% off http://bit.ly/mt-join-podcast-offerMT20 – Managed ETF Portfolio A professionally managed portfolio run by Marcus Padley and the team, using ASX-listed ETFs with active market timing. http://bit.ly/mt20-podcastPrinciples – How We Think About Investing A short video series on timing, behaviour, and decision-making.

South Korea's Kospi index halts trading after huge falls for tech stocks like Samsung and SK Hynix. Are investors starting to fear the arrival of Chinese AI chipmakers? Also, firefighters in France and Spain are continuing to battle wildfires that have forced hundreds of thousands of people from their homes and seen tens of thousands of businesses forced to close. And one of London's most iconic landmarks is looking for an apprentice.
Der Kospi verliert an einem Tag 10,8 Prozent, SK Hynix hat sich vom Hoch halbiert, und der Rest der Börsenwelt bleibt gelassen. Deffner und Zschäpitz erklären, warum das ein gutes Zeichen ist und warum die Hantelstrategie gerade ihren Nutzen beweist. Im Thema der Woche streiten sie über China: Lithografie-Maschinen aus Shanghai, der Rekordbörsengang von CXMT mit zeitweise über 500 Prozent Plus und die Frage, ob der Westen seinen Technologievorsprung verliert. Dazu die Sozialausgabenquote bei knapp 32 Prozent als Bär der Woche, ein inverser Bär auf VW bei 71 Euro und ein Bulle auf Arm und Marvell. Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

Beleggers worden helemaal blij van de kwartaalcijfers van Unilever. Dat zag de omzet harder groeien dan waarop was gerekend. Maar belangrijker nog: ze verkopen ook echt meer spullen. Het is niet alleen omdat ze die spullen duurder maken, dat die omzet groeit. De volumegroei van Unilever komt namelijk uit op het hoogste niveau in tien jaar tijd. Unilever verkoopt vooral meer in landen als India, China, Indonesië en Latijns-Amerika. Daar komt nu zo'n 60 procent van alle omzet vandaan. Alleen in Europa loopt het niet goed. Deze aflevering kijken we naar de toekomst van het nieuwe Unilever. Heeft de topman het lek eindelijk boven? En komt het nog goed in Europa? We zoeken het voor je uit. Hebben we het ook nog over de kwartaalcijfers van Basic-Fit. Ook goed nieuws daar: het bedrijf verhoogt voor de tweede keer dit jaar de winstverwachting!

Two judges signed the same court order and can't agree on what it actually stops. Now Ramaphosa's impeachment fight is headed to the Constitutional Court, with the ANC's own GNU partner pushing Parliament to keep working in the background regardless. Meanwhile South Africa's bookmakers want prediction markets like Polymarket treated as illegal, three JSE-listed companies posted results pulling in three different directions this morning, and overnight a sell-off in AI and chip stocks wiped billions off names like Nvidia and SK Hynix. Alec Hogg unpacks what's actually driving each story, and what it means for your money.
A.M. Edition for July 27. President Trump calls off a major escalation of strikes against Iran, amid efforts to revive diplomacy with Tehran and a debate over America's declining munitions stockpiles. Plus, Nvidia is in talks to provide a roughly $250 billion financial backstop for OpenAI to lease a massive data center project in Ohio. And WSJ tech reporter Amrith Ramkumar explains how dual lobbying efforts from Apple and Micron are putting the Trump administration in the center of a fight over access to Chinese memory chips.

BESI, ASML, ASM, alledrie gaan ze onderuit na een verhaal van The Information. Volgens de peperdure techsite is het nu echt zover: China is begonnen met de productie van eigen DUV-chipmachines. Een Chinees staatsbedrijf zou deze gemiddeld geavanceerde chipmachines kunnen leveren, een product waar ASML nu nog nagenoeg alleenheerser op is. Maar ja, we horen wel vaker dat China enigszins hoogwaardige chips kan produceren, terwijl de productieprocessen nagenoeg altijd inefficiënt blijken te zijn. Oftewel: duur, verspillend en amper concurrerend. Waarom beleggers dan toch in paniek raken en of dat wel terecht is, bespreken we deze aflevering. Een aflevering die sowieso vol zit met China. Want chipbedrijf CXMT kreeg het voor elkaar: van de ene op de andere dag het grootste beursbedrijf van China worden. CXMT schoot na de beursgang vannacht met meer dan 500 procent omhoog. Het bedrijf produceert geheugenchips en is daarmee een concurrent van Samsung en SK Hynix. Of het bedrijf die twee ook serieus kan beconcurreren, gaan we ook voor je uitzoeken. En het lijkt de Chinashow wel: we hebben het ook over de soort-van-Chinese bank HSBC, de Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corporation. Dankzij hun zetel en beursnotering in Londen, is het een Europees beursbedrijf. En sinds kort zelfs Europa's op-een-na grootste beursbedrijf, achter ASML. Ze naderen een beurswaarde van 300 miljard dollar. Hoe ze dat voor elkaar kregen, en waarom ze zo belachelijk veel winstgevender zijn dan ING en ABN, gaan we je ook vertellen.

South Korea has the best performing stock market in the world for the second year running — and it's also in the middle of one of the worst bear markets on earth. The KOSPI is down around 27% from its June peak, more than 1.2 million retail accounts have been hit with margin calls, and hundreds of thousands of Korean investors have been wiped out entirely. But this isn't a story about meme stocks or worthless companies. Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are enormously profitable businesses at the center of the global AI boom, and the traders buying them were right about the trend. In this video I look at how a national stock index became a two-stock bet on artificial intelligence, how single-stock leveraged ETFs turned ordinary volatility into a mechanical feedback loop, why Korea's retail "ants" took on so much leverage in the first place, and what Victor Haghani's famous biased-coin experiment tells us about how you can be completely right about a market and still lose everything.Patrick's Books:Statistics For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3eerLA0Derivatives For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3cjsyPFCorporate Finance: https://amzn.to/3fn3rvC Ways To Support The Channel:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinanceBuy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/patrickboyle
Mel Mattison joins Marty to dissect AI's impact on memory chips, the hyperscaler debt cycle, and the Fed's rate outlook under Chairman Warsh. The conversation swings from Korean memory stocks like Micron, Samsung and SK Hynix to macro themes such as fiscal deficits, debasement trades, gold, Bitcoin and the new “Trump accounts” tax vehicle. Listeners get a contrarian view on why AI demand may outlast hype, how free‑cash‑flow can erase debt fast, and what assets could dominate the market this decade.

PSA - That's what we do....CYCLOSPORIASIS OUTBREAK - CASES SURGE - Cyclosporiasis cases are rising across more than 30 states, with Michigan, Ohio and New York reporting particularly large increases. - The CDC reported at least 843 confirmed cases and 86 hospitalizations by July 9, but state totals and reporting delays suggest the real count is substantially higher. - Lettuce, salad greens and other fresh produce are being investigated, although officials have not identified a specific product, supplier or national recall. - The parasite causes prolonged or recurring watery diarrhea; washing produce may reduce risk, and persistent symptoms should prompt medical testing and treatment. HOW TO REDUCE CYCLOSPORIASIS RISK (FWIW) - Wash hands with soap before preparing food and after using the bathroom. - Rinse fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs thoroughly under running water; scrubbing helps but cannot guarantee removal. - Keep raw produce separate from unwashed items, dirty utensils and preparation surfaces. - When traveling in tropical or subtropical areas, use safe water and avoid raw produce you cannot peel yourself; routine chemical sanitizers may not kill Cyclospora.
