Most of these funds chase the streak – the companies that have raised dividends for ten, twenty years, a monument to consistency. Fine. But consistency can be a mask. DGRO does things its own way. It’s not about the longest run; it’s about quality, about building a portfolio that doesn’t buckle when the market gets rough. It’s a $38.37 billion fund, which means someone’s paying attention. Not just gamblers, either.
Ah, the world! That grand stage where nations pirouette and currencies waltz, only to stumble over their own feet. World leaders, those august figures, now squint at the financial system as if it were a faded portrait, wondering if the frame still holds. Ray Dalio, that sage of markets, declares the post-war order as defunct as a forgotten ballad. And Arch, ever the observant courtier, suggests Bitcoin holders may not be mere dreamers but shrewd players in this new masquerade.
Even should a drug triumphantly emerge, its moment in the sun is often fleeting. A patent, nominally lasting twenty years, is largely consumed by the development process itself. The actual period of exclusive benefit, the time when one can reap the rewards of ingenuity, is frequently limited to a mere decade or so. One recalls the case of Pfizer, whose stock experienced a rather giddy ascent around the year 2000, thanks to a certain vaccine. However, as demand waned, so too did the stock’s fortunes, plummeting in 2023 and remaining stubbornly unenthusiastic since. A cautionary tale, to be sure.
According to the SEC filings (because, paperwork. Always paperwork), Gate City shaved off 481,537 shares during the last quarter of 2025. That $14.15 million figure is based on average pricing, which, let’s be real, is a bit of a smoothing exercise. At the end of the quarter, they still held $18.11 million worth of BTU, but the value had dipped by $10.83 million from the previous quarter. Which is… a lot. Though, honestly, in this market, what isn’t a lot?
The aforementioned Gate City, in a move documented with the solemnity befitting a minor bureaucratic decree, acquired 331,415 shares of Mosaic. This wasn’t a spontaneous act of agricultural enthusiasm, naturally. It was a calculated gamble, a strategic positioning in a market where the only certainty is that people will continue to require sustenance. The value of their existing position, we are informed, has swelled by $5.76 million. A pleasing increment, though one suspects the true beneficiaries are not the farmers, but the accountants.
Enterprise Products, like many of its pipeline brethren, charges companies involved in the extraction and refinement of natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs), crude oil, and various other refined products a fee to move their stuff through its pipes. It’s a “toll road” model, as they say. The beauty of this is that it’s largely immune to the whims of commodity prices. It doesn’t much care what is flowing through the pipes, only that something is. (Though, one imagines, a sudden surge in liquid chocolate would be welcomed.) This generates a stable, if not wildly exciting, profit.
Palantir Technologies (PLTR +0.03%) occupies a unique position within this landscape. The company’s operational engagements with entities requiring a high degree of confidentiality have, understandably, contributed to a degree of public misinterpretation. This assessment will endeavor to move beyond superficial characterizations and provide an objective analysis of Palantir’s business model, financial performance, and potential future trajectory. This is the first in a series of three articles, focusing initially on the evolution of the company’s core competencies and established market presence.
On February 3rd, 2026, a filing. The SEC, naturally. Bensler added GPIQ to the portfolio. Another line item. Another hope for a return. The transaction valued at eleven-point-seven million. The shares themselves, also eleven-point-seven million at the time. A neat little symmetry, if you’re inclined to notice such things.
The transaction, recorded in the annals of the SEC, reveals a diminution of Gate City’s holdings in Helix during the final quarter of 2025. A shedding of shares, if you will, as one might discard a slightly tarnished ornament. The fund’s stake, once valued at a more substantial sum, now rests at 1,872,195 shares, a reduction of $4.31 million. One begins to suspect a subtle commentary on the vagaries of the offshore energy sector.
While other chaps are fiddling about with the bits and bobs of AI infrastructure, Nebius offers the whole shebang – the power and the clever software to make the machines think. This has caught the attention of a rather large and important fellow, one Microsoft (MSFT 0.65%), who’s signed a deal worth up to $19.4 billion. That’s a lot of sherbet, even for them. A full 300 megawatts, enough to power a small country, or at least a very enthusiastic collection of computers.
