According to the SEC filing from February 13, 2026, Keenan Capital decided Clearwater Analytics was worth a significant chunk of change. $88.3 million, to be precise. That’s after factoring in the usual quarterly market roller coaster. It’s a bold move. Like ordering the lobster when you’re pretty sure you’re still paying off student loans.
Still, the persistent buzz about quantum computing is hard to ignore, even for someone who considers a functional toaster a technological marvel. And frankly, as someone who spends an inordinate amount of time staring at macroeconomic indicators, the sheer scale of potential disruption is… compelling. It’s the sort of thing that keeps me up at night, not because I think I’ll understand it, but because I suspect no one really does.
The market, of course, offers no answers, only the cold, indifferent dance of price. Global-E, a facilitator of cross-border commerce, has suffered a decline of forty-seven percent over the past year. A wound, visible to all. Yet, Keenan Capital persists, injecting another $3.56 million into the venture. Is this the act of a shrewd investor, recognizing value where others see only ruin? Or the folly of a gambler, throwing good money after bad, driven by a stubborn belief in a future that may never arrive?
Everyone talks about ‘following’ Buffett, which sounds exhausting. Like joining a parade. I prefer to think of it as scavenging his breadcrumbs. Picking up the stocks he’s already deemed worthy, and hoping they haven’t been entirely pecked over. Berkshire Hathaway’s portfolio is vast, naturally, but a couple of things stood out when I was, let’s say, ‘reallocating’ some funds. I’m not saying I’m aiming for Oracle status, just a slightly less stressful retirement.
Can Novo Nordisk regain its footing? The answer, as is so often the case in these matters, lies not in grand pronouncements or heroic endeavors, but in the next iteration of potions and elixirs. The current offerings, alas, appear destined for a gradual decline, a fate predicted by the company itself. A most unseemly admission, yet one which, as a portfolio manager, I find… refreshingly honest.
Pershing Square, it is understood, prefers a concentrated approach, holding but a select number of stocks, a circumstance which simplifies the task of observation. The recent disposition of their holdings in Chipotle Mexican Grill, a position long held and, one imagines, fondly regarded, has been noted, as has the initiation of a new interest in Amazon. However, it is the acquisition of a substantial stake in Meta Platforms (META 1.48%) that has most recently stirred the market, accounting, it is reported, for a full ten percent of the fund’s capital.
In a move that screams “third time’s the charm,” Nexo has announced its triumphant return to the U.S. market in 2026. After a dramatic exit in 2022-think diva leaving a stage mid-performance-the company is back, this time with a promise to play by the rules. Or at least, to pay enough money to make the rules look the other way.
For years, it zoomed ahead of the market, leaving the poor old S&P 500 choking on its dust. Nearly 20% a year, can you believe it? Compared to the S&P’s measly 10%. He’d scoop up companies, tuck them away, and let them burble along, spitting out cash like a contented dragon. That cash, a whopping $320 billion of it (enough to pave a rather long road, I should think), now makes up a hefty 30% of the whole shebang.
But then I started looking at… well, the bits that aren’t the glamorous GPUs. The stuff that actually holds all the data. The storage. And that’s where Sandisk comes in. It’s not exactly sexy, is it? Like comparing a supermodel to a sensible pair of shoes. But sensible shoes are often more useful. And, dare I say, potentially more lucrative.
One might ask, is this merely a rational economic calculation? Or is there something more… primal at play? A desperate attempt to impose order upon the chaos of innovation? To build a digital fortress against the uncertainties of the future? I submit to you that it is both, and neither. It is the very essence of human striving, writ large upon the silicon canvas of the 21st century. And within this grand drama, three companies stand as particularly compelling figures: Nvidia, Broadcom, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing. They are not merely benefiting from this surge; they are the surge, the very conduits through which this digital current flows.
