‘Tis said that on Wednesday last, BFI Infinity procured no less than 132,421 shares of this Asian instrument. A trifling sum, you say? Hardly! When tallied with their existing holdings, this ETF now constitutes a full 17.21% of their reported assets. One might suspect a mere passing fancy, a momentary indulgence. But observe – at quarter’s end, the value of their Asian affections had swelled by $12.64 million, a testament to both their initial investment and the ETF’s own flourishing.

The stock, it must be said, has been…energetic. Since 2023, it has climbed with a vigor that suggests not a measured ascent, but a desperate scramble. A rise of 2,700% is not merely impressive; it is, in its way, unsettling. One begins to wonder if the market is pricing the company’s potential, or merely its reflection in a particularly optimistic mirror.

Upstart, on the other hand, presents a more…restrained narrative. A company that dabbles in the alluring, and often treacherous, waters of artificial intelligence, attempting to redefine credit access. Its share price, however, is currently engaged in a rather dramatic waltz with gravity, trailing a respectable eighty-eight percent below its former peak. A cautionary tale, perhaps, or simply a temporary indiscretion?

This isn’t merely an addition, you understand. It is a declaration. A proclamation etched not in stone, but in quarterly reports. JP Wealth, it seems, has decided that a substantial portion of its reportable U.S. equity assets – a full 19.34%, to be exact – shall reside within the SRH Total Return Fund. One pictures the fund itself, a plump, contented creature, absorbing this influx of capital with a quiet, almost unsettling, glee. The total value of this position, swollen with both trade and the capricious movements of the market, now stands at $4.55 million. A figure that, frankly, keeps one awake at night pondering the sheer volume of paper involved.

A modest outlay of a thousand dollars will procure approximately six shares of Chevron, accompanied by a dividend yield of 4.2%. Rather a good show, that, considering the average energy stock is yielding a mere 3.3%, and the S&P 500 a positively paltry 1.1%. Chevron, you see, has a knack for weathering the cyclical storms of the energy market, and has been reliably increasing its dividend for over three decades. A record of which even the most exacting investor would approve.

The filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, dated January 15th, confirms the complete divestment. No lingering shares remain, apparently. One suspects a degree of forward thinking, rather than panic. Though, of course, one can never be entirely certain with these things. A touch of ruthlessness is always admired, naturally.

The market, they claim, is efficient. A cold, calculating machine. BULLSHIT. It’s a goddamn casino, fueled by caffeine and delusion. Short-term thinking? It’s the oxygen that keeps this whole rigged game afloat. The question isn’t whether Beyond Meat can recover. It’s whether it deserves to. And, frankly, after a deep dive into the numbers, the answer is a resounding, bloodcurdling NO.

Nvidia, as best as I can ascertain from the fragmented texts of the Buenos Aires National Library’s economic archive, began as a purveyor of graphical illusions. It has since evolved into something far more profound: an architect of simulated realities. Their ‘GPUs,’ these engines of artificial cognition, are not merely processors of images, but instruments for conjuring worlds within worlds. The demand for these devices, fueled by the burgeoning field of ‘AI’—a term I use with a certain epistemological caution—is not surprising. We are, after all, creatures perpetually seeking reflections of ourselves, and now, increasingly, reflections that surpass our own capabilities.
