One might assume, given the current obsession with a select group of tech behemoths (dubbed the “Magnificent Seven,” a moniker that sounds suspiciously like a 1970s superhero team), that the really interesting opportunities are already fully priced into those stocks. But Dara Khosrowshahi, Uber’s CEO since August 2017 (a period roughly equivalent to several geological epochs in internet time), suggests otherwise. He’s pointed to a multi-trillion-dollar opportunity lurking just around the corner. A corner, naturally, that’s probably curved and possibly guarded by a very polite but firm robot.

The recent quarterly reports reveal a trimming of his stake in Nvidia, a company that has become synonymous with the burgeoning age of artificial intelligence, and a corresponding increase in his holdings of Palantir Technologies. Three million shares of Nvidia were released, a reduction of seventeen percent. Simultaneously, five hundred and forty-three thousand shares of Palantir were acquired, doubling the previous position. These are not impulsive acts, but measured adjustments, born of a mind accustomed to weighing probabilities and assessing the long arc of technological development. Yet, to interpret these moves as a simple endorsement of one company over another would be a grave simplification. The world of finance, like the world of men, is rarely governed by such straightforward logic.

Thus, I present to you, not a mere list of stocks, but a small cast of characters upon the stage of commerce. Each possesses a certain…peculiarity, a particular foible that, if understood, may yield a handsome return. Let us examine them, shall we?

Kalshi, that little prediction market, was whispering a different story. A correction, they said. More likely than not. History, that unreliable narrator, was leaning towards a bear market. Fifty-fifty chance. The odds were stacked, but Wall Street preferred to count its blessings before the fall.

His assessment, a lengthy document, details a history of unprofitability, of sales that seemed to vanish like smoke, and a reliance on accounting maneuvers. It is a catalogue of disappointments, really. A company promising much, delivering little, and masking the shortfall with…optimism. One almost feels sorry for the shareholders. Almost. The market, after all, is rarely sentimental.

Some folks are scratching their heads, wondering if all this spending is sensible. But let me tell you, these companies aren’t known for tossing money about like confetti. They smell opportunity, and this opportunity smells strongly of… artificial intelligence. Any company dawdling, refusing to pile in and grab a slice of this pie, is about to find itself looking rather foolish indeed.

These shares, representing a sum of approximately $532,000, were released into the currents of the exchange on the 11th of February, 2026. It was a sum large enough to briefly illuminate the trading screens, but small enough to be absorbed quickly into the ceaseless flow of capital. Mr. Weingarten, even after this measured divestment, remained a substantial landowner within the SentinelOne kingdom, holding 1,083,073 shares, valued at approximately $14.75 million – a fortress built against the inevitable storms of the technological frontier. The air in the executive suite smelled faintly of burnt coffee and the quiet desperation of those who guard the gates.

Ninety-five percent of the stores are franchises, which sounds… fair. But they own eighty percent of the buildings, fifty-six percent of the land. It’s like… you rent an apartment, but the landlord also owns the entire parking lot, the landscaping, and is subtly judging your life choices. It’s just… a power imbalance. And they’re collecting rent, of course. Rent! On top of everything else. It’s a beautifully cynical system. They’re making money while other people are actually working.
