The Algorithm and the Alphabet

A presentation, naturally.

However, I suspect this reign is…temporary. A fleeting moment of silicon supremacy. The crown, I predict, will soon rest upon a different brow. Not that Nvidia is inherently flawed – far from it. It is merely…vulnerable. And the challenger? Alphabet. Yes, that Alphabet. The one that began with a search engine and has since accumulated a portfolio of projects so diverse it resembles the cluttered workshop of a particularly eccentric artisan.

UnitedHealth: A Bit of a Mess, Actually

And then, Stephen Hemsley reappeared. Like a slightly exasperated parent returning to clean up a mess. He was the architect of their whole vertical integration thing, apparently. Which sounds…complicated. But the idea is, they own everything – the insurance, the care delivery, even the pharmacies. It’s supposed to be a moat. A very expensive, heavily guarded moat.

Ephemeral Fortunes: A Portfolio for the Discerning Eye

Nvidia, a name now uttered with the reverence once reserved for titans of industry, has ascended to a market capitalization that would make Croesus blush. Its dominion stems, naturally, from the graphic processing units—those silicon sprites that conjure the illusions of artificial intelligence. To call them merely ‘powerful’ would be akin to describing a Fabergé egg as ‘shiny.’ They are the engines of this new conjuration, and Nvidia, its benevolent, if implacable, sorcerer.

Crypto Bill Closer Than Ever? Turgenev Would Roll His Eyes 😂

U.S. lawmakers, armed with the optimism of a man who’s just discovered a new religion, shared social media posts that hinted at negotiations nearing consensus-though one might argue they’ve been “near” since the invention of the wheel. The sentiment was that bipartisan legislation to support the digital asset industry is “within reach,” a phrase that has haunted Washington since the days of the Whiskey Rebellion. 🕵️‍♂️

January’s Whisper & The Market’s Mood

My Aunt Mildred, who believes stock tips are gleaned from the arrangement of tea leaves, was particularly insistent. “A strong January,” she declared over a disturbingly floral Earl Grey, “means a prosperous year!” I tried to explain the concept of market volatility, but she just waved a biscuit and said something about “following the energy.” It’s exhausting, being the responsible one. But, of course, I secretly checked the numbers after she left. Just in case.

Euronet: A Value Play (Or Just Someone’s Long-Term Bet?)

Value Holdings scooped up 98,289 shares in the last quarter. That brings their stake to 2.5% of their portfolio. Which is a polite way of saying they’re committed. Like, “we’ve seen this movie before, and we’re bringing snacks” committed. The value of the position increased by $6.33 million, which is good news. Unless you’re counting in Monopoly money.

A Bond Play: Or, The Prudence of Capital

A filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission – a document, alas, not penned in verse – doth reveal that Capital Asset Advisory Services has augmented its holdings in VTC by the aforementioned shares. The value of this addition, calculated by the cold logic of quarterly averages, amounts to $6.19 million. Furthermore, the fund’s overall value has increased by $5.76 million, a figure encompassing both the company’s diligent acquisitions and the fickle whims of the market itself.

The Algorithm’s Shadow: Value in a Frenzied Market

The whispers speak of another solid year for these AI-driven enterprises in 2026. Deutsche Bank, ever the pragmatist, points to continued infrastructure investments. But let us not mistake motion for progress. The very proliferation of these so-called ‘AI stocks’ has created a scarcity of true value. A desperate hunt for substance amidst the vaporware. The question, then, is not whether AI will grow, but where, amidst this chaos, can a rational investor find… purchase?

The Grid’s Allure: A Peculiar Investment

The SEC filing, released with all the fanfare one might expect from a government document, reveals the acquisition of 49,139 shares. A mere trifle, one might say, in the grand scheme of things. Yet, it represents 1.6% of the fund’s reportable assets, a signal, however faint, that someone of consequence is paying attention. It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single, well-placed bet can speak volumes about the prevailing winds of fortune.
