But then there’s CoreWeave. Which, frankly, I hadn’t heard of until recently. It’s a bit like that quiet, slightly intense person at the party who turns out to be a genius coder. They’re aiming for the next generation of data centers, specifically built for this artificial intelligence thing everyone’s talking about. It’s a bold move. A very bold move. And, naturally, I’m deeply, deeply anxious about it.

And lo, First Majestic, a company dedicated to the extraction of this precious metal, has soared even higher, boasting an increase of 364 percent over the same period. One is compelled to ask: is this a prudent investment, or merely a fleeting fancy, a bubble inflated by the breath of speculation? Let us, with a historian’s eye and a touch of worldly wisdom, examine the matter.

Still, a smaller market capitalization – around $2.6 billion at last count – does leave room for expansion. It’s a bit like having a slightly less crowded beach to build your sandcastle on. Recently, they’ve made a splash with an acquisition that might, just might, give them a boost, particularly in the rather sensitive world of defense and highly regulated industries. The question, naturally, is whether this deal is a genuine turning point, or just another ripple in the vast ocean of tech stocks. Does it make BigBear.ai a better buy today? Let’s poke around a bit.

The shares were up a modest 5% in 2025. Not exactly a rocket ship, is it? But then, January 27th saw a little bump – 6% in 2026. Progress, I suppose. Though, defining ‘progress’ feels increasingly subjective these days. Units of Stock Watched: 1. Hours Spent Refreshing Financial News: 7. Attempts to Explain ‘EV/EBIT’ to Relatives: 3 (all unsuccessful).

Both funds, it is asserted, target the technology sector. A convenient categorization. As if the vast, amorphous entity known as ‘technology’ could be neatly contained within the boundaries of a portfolio. [XLK] spreads its tendrils across the established giants, a seemingly diversified approach. [CHAT], however, concentrates its resources on a single, volatile current – a gamble predicated on the continuation of a prevailing enthusiasm. The logic, if one can call it that, appears to be this: isolate the trend, amplify the exposure, and pray the trend does not…dissipate.

For years, Japan was stuck in what they politely called a “period of adjustment.” I call it a decades-long nap! But the Nikkei 225? It’s woken up! Reached a new high, folks. A new high! And the Tokyo Stock Price Index, the TOPIX? Up 93.3% in five years! Beats the S&P 500 by a country mile. The S&P, bless its heart, only managed 79.2%. It’s like watching a tortoise race a caffeinated cheetah. And I, as a seasoned dividend hunter, am very interested in cheetahs.
