The ambition is admirable, truly. Tesla is building castles in the air, magnificent structures of engineering and software. But even the most beautiful castle needs foundations, and a solid treasury. And that, at the moment, is looking a bit like a bog. Vehicle sales have stumbled, profits are heading south, and the company is about to embark on a spending spree that would make Croesus blush.2
In a recent post on X, Glassnode analyst Chris Beamish groans with the latest trend in the Bitcoin MVRV Z-Score, an indicator meant to judge whether the asset wears overvaluation like a fashionable coat or clutches undervaluation like a desperate, worn scarf. It compares market cap toRealized Cap in a way that only a statistician could love and a skeptic could tolerate.
The coming year, 2026, is not about grand pronouncements or soaring valuations. It is, rather, about navigating two persistent, almost melancholy, realities. Risks, one might call them, though they feel less like looming disasters and more like the inevitable dampness that settles in with the autumn chill.
Brandywine, they’re mostly in the office business, though they’re tryin’ their hand at other ventures, like a fella tryin’ to learn the banjo. Their fourth-quarter and full-year results for 2025 came in, and revenue was a hair under $121 million. Not a fortune, mind you, and a smidge down from last year. Seems folks are discoverin’ they can do a heap of work without actually bein’ in the office, a notion that’d give a landlord the vapors.
The question, of course, is whether this upward trajectory is sustained, or merely another fleeting bubble in the ever-turbulent sea of finance. One approaches such matters with a degree of skepticism, naturally. The markets are rarely driven by logic, but by the collective delusions of men eager to believe in miracles.
Globant is not a spectacle. It is not a flash in the pan. It’s a workshop, quietly embedding intelligence into the gears of commerce, while actually turning a profit. No grand pronouncements, no breathless hype. Just solid work, and a balance sheet that doesn’t require constant resuscitation. It’s a rare sight, like finding a carpenter who still sharpens his own tools.
In a thread that could only be described as a modern-day manifesto, Gaevoy expressed his exasperation with the ongoing tug-of-war between blockchains. It seemed to him, and likely to anyone with a passing interest, that these debates were akin to arguing whether one shade of gray was better than another. In the end, none had managed to pull a rabbit out of the hat worthy of applause.
The fourth quarter of 2025 presented a surface of modest prosperity. Total revenue approached $173.4 million, a nine percent increment year over year. Yet, beneath this veneer of growth lay a diminution of earnings, a contraction of net income—a steep fifty-three percent decline to $11.1 million, or a paltry $0.08 per share. Such discrepancies are not mere numerical adjustments; they represent a draining of vital capital, a weakening of the foundation upon which future yields must rest.
BrightView unveiled its first quarter of fiscal 2026, revealing revenue of $614.7 million – an improvement of nearly 3% year over year. This, one might think, is progress. And, in a strictly linear fashion, it is. However, the company also managed to deepen its net loss (according to generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP – a system of rules so complex it requires dedicated teams of accountants, who, it’s rumored, communicate solely in footnotes) by 46% to $15.2 million, or $0.01 per share. It’s a bit like building a magnificent sandcastle only to have the tide come in. Perfectly functional, aesthetically pleasing, but ultimately… transient.
Now, before we get carried away picturing oil gushing forth and everyone becoming instantly prosperous, let’s take a little peek under the hood. The stock’s had a bit of a wobble recently, a 3.3% dip over five days. Not a catastrophe, mind you, but enough to suggest that the truly spectacular gains might be… tempered. A savvy investor, and I consider myself one, likes a little breathing room. A chance to acquire shares without feeling like they’re being snatched from under their nose.
