Archer Aviation: A Risky Bet with a Seriously High Ceiling

by

They promised the moon – ten Midnight eVTOLs in 2024, 250 in 2025. Instead? Two. Just two. It’s like ordering a full English breakfast and getting a single, slightly sad, mushroom. Disappointing, isn’t it? But here’s the thing: I’m not entirely put off. Because sometimes, the most spectacular returns come from the things everyone else is avoiding. It’s a personal philosophy, don’t judge.

Oil & Exxon: Repeat of ’22?

by

It’s over $100 a barrel again, which feels… familiar. Like running into an ex you knew was bad news. It dipped, thankfully, back to around $86 on Tuesday, but the underlying anxiety remains. It’s just… looming. Another potential conflict, another potential price hike. Honestly, it’s exhausting. A year ago, it was under $70. Progress? I’m not sure. It feels more like a cyclical descent into mild panic.

Kate Winslet To Star in Andy Serkis’ THE HUNT FOR GOLLUM

by

Kate Winslet is the newest major star to join the cast of the upcoming film set in the world of Middle-earth. She’s expected to play a key, currently unrevealed female character in The Hunt for Gollum. Winslet will act alongside Ian McKellen, who returns as Gandalf, and Andy Serkis, reprising his role as Gollum. The story follows Aragorn’s quest to locate Gollum before Sauron can find the One Ring. The film is based on writings J.R.R. Tolkien added as notes to his books, detailing events that occurred between The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring.

Dust and Dividends: Three Stocks for a Weary World

by

Alphabet, they call it. A grand name for a company that now spends fortunes chasing the ghost of future profits. The share price dips – nearly fourteen percent from its peak – and the chatter begins. Revenue fell short? A temporary setback. The real story is the colossal expenditure – one hundred and seventy-five to one hundred and eighty-five billion dollars by 2026 – poured into the insatiable maw of artificial intelligence. A kingdom built on algorithms, demanding ever more tribute. Last year they hauled in four hundred billion, kept one hundred and thirty-two for themselves. A tidy sum, yes, but enough to feed this new beast?

A Million-Dollar Flutter on Skyworks

by

Seems Numerai GP decided Skyworks was worth a bit more of their attention. They increased their stake in the company during the last quarter of 2025, addin’ those shares I mentioned. That $9.18 million is based on the average price over those three months, mind you, so it’s not like they got a bargain basement deal. The value of their whole position, includin’ the new shares and the stock movin’ about, went up by $8.24 million. A tidy sum, wouldn’t you say?
