Wood’s Bargains: A Devilish Dip into Tech

She’s been adding to positions in Broadcom, Advanced Micro Devices, and Figma – names that, to the uninitiated, sound like incantations from a silicon valley grimoire. Let us delve into these choices, examining not merely the numbers, but the peculiar spirit that animates these companies, and the faint whiff of desperation clinging to their recent performance.

Antimony’s Ascent: A Market Bloom

By late morning, the stock had gained ground, though with a slight retreat from an earlier, more exuberant surge. The market, it seems, is always a dance between hope and caution, a mirroring of the human heart itself.

Critical Metals: A Most Peculiar Uptick

It appears a considerable number of shares – a staggering 2.8 million, representing a goodly 2.4% of the entire kit and caboodle – are being offered to the public by certain insiders. One might have anticipated a bit of a wobble, a slight downturn, perhaps, but no! The market, in a fit of inexplicable enthusiasm, seems to be bidding the price upwards. A dashedly curious state of affairs, wouldn’t you agree?

TRI: AI & Dividends – A Curious Case

Look, the stock’s been hammered – down almost 50% over the past year. A proper thrashing. Everyone was convinced AI was going to eat the software world, and TRI was on the menu. It’s that familiar panic, isn’t it? We all get it. Suddenly everything you thought you knew is…questionable. But here’s the thing about panic: it usually creates opportunities. And opportunities, my friends, can pay dividends.

AI’s Power Grab: 2 Stocks to Profit!

Now, everyone’s scrambling. Building these data centers is one thing, but finding enough electricity to keep the bits and bytes flowing? That’s the real challenge. It’s like trying to fill the ocean with a teaspoon. So, what’s happening? These hyperscalers – those big tech companies with more money than sense – are saying, “Forget it! We’ll build our own power plants!” It’s a brilliant, if slightly arrogant, move. And that, my friends, is where our investment opportunities bloom. (Pun intended, you’ll see.)

Arm Holdings: A Circuitous Ascent

The Wall Street Journal, an organ of record in these matters, reported that several manufacturers of personal computing devices are currently engaged in collaborative efforts with Nvidia-Mediatek system-on-chip configurations, incorporating the Arm architecture. This arrangement, ostensibly intended to expand market share, feels less like progress and more like a re-shuffling of predetermined outcomes within a closed system. The implications for Arm, should this arrangement persist beyond the current reporting cycle, are, of course, subject to further, and likely fruitless, investigation.

ACV Auctions: A Comedy of Errors?

The analysts, those brilliant seers of the financial world, predicted a loss of a penny a share on $182 million in sales. ACV? They managed $183.6 million! A win! A glorious, fleeting win! But then… they lost 11 cents a share. Eleven! It’s like they were trying to disappoint Wall Street. Honestly, it’s almost impressive.

NuScale: A Reactor of Hope and Despair

The reasons, as always, are layered, a tangle of anxieties and miscalculations. The initial tremors stemmed from the absurd panic surrounding artificial intelligence – a bubble, they called it. A bubble! As if the relentless march of calculation and data processing were some transient fancy. NuScale, positioned to power these digital behemoths with its small modular reactors, became a casualty of this irrational fear. Oklo and Nano Nuclear Energy suffered alongside, victims of a collective hysteria. It’s a curious thing, how easily the promise of progress can be overshadowed by the specter of its potential excess.

Druckenmiller’s Shuffle: When Fortunes Whisper

Recently, this discerning gentleman decided Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) wasn’t worth the weight in goblin gold, and instead, piled into Amazon (AMZN +1.62%). A curious move, like trading a slightly tarnished crown for a slightly dented bucket. But then, the market rarely operates on logic, preferring instead to be driven by rumour, fear, and the occasional burst of irrational exuberance.
