Micron Technology has historically operated with a degree of cyclicality characteristic of commodity-driven businesses. For extended periods, the company’s performance lagged broader market indices, including the S&P 500. However, the generative AI boom presents a potentially transformative catalyst. The escalating demand for high-bandwidth memory—critical for training and deploying large language models—is creating a supply-demand imbalance with favorable implications for Micron’s revenue and profitability.

But here’s the rub. When things go up, up, up, one begins to wonder if the balloon is about to pop. Are we clever enough to buy now, or should we wait for a bit of a tumble? It’s a tricky business, investing, full of bluster and bother, like trying to sell pickled newts to a king.

Wood went on a little spree Thursday, adding to positions in Joby Aviation (JOBY 16.68%), Kodiak AI (KDK 1.37%), and CRISPR Therapeutics (CRSP 0.63%). These aren’t your grandma’s blue-chip stocks, folks. These are…ambitious. Let’s just say that.

They announced a Letter of Intent with the U.S. Government. Two hundred and seventy-seven million in funding, a billion-plus loan under the CHIPS Act. Sounded like a lifeline. And a private investment of a billion and a half, “anchored” by Inflection Point. Anchored, right. More like weighted down with expectations.

One observes, of course, that a rising tide, however temporary, benefits all boats. Freeport-McMoRan and Rio Tinto also enjoyed the current. A pleasant enough sight for shareholders, though one wonders if they truly appreciate the fragility of it all. It’s a game of numbers, after all, and numbers are rarely kind.

Yet, despite this evident distress, a certain compulsion persists. A continued acquisition, even in the face of prevailing headwinds. The rationale, however, is not rooted in naive optimism, but in a considered assessment of underlying forces – a recognition of the inherent, if obscured, logic of this peculiar monetary experiment.

I’ve been attempting to discern a pattern. A clue. Something to tell me whether to buy, sell, or hide under the duvet with a large bar of chocolate. It’s proving…difficult. Last time, strong results, stock went up. Good. Logical. Then, equally good results, but a slightly disappointing trial for a new drug, and the stock fell. It was a shock. A complete betrayal of everything I thought I knew. (Which, admittedly, isn’t much.)

Pfizer, once a titan of the pharmaceutical realm, has lately known a period of… shall we say, subdued performance. A most unfortunate circumstance for a house so accustomed to riches! However, it appears the good apothecary is stirring from his slumber. A new pipeline, particularly in the treatment of those most grievous of afflictions – cancers – promises a resurgence. Indeed, they are concocting remedies with a vigor not seen for some years.

Let us dissect this phenomenon, shall we? Separate the genuine sparkle from the fool’s gold. It’s rarely about inherent value, you understand. It’s about stories, about anxieties, about the eternal human desire to possess something shiny and claim it’s worth more tomorrow than it is today.

Bitcoin, this digital phantom, has lately been put forward as a contender for the same title, a ‘digital gold’ for a new age. There is a certain symmetry to the notion, a seductive appeal in the idea of a decentralized, immutable asset. Yet, as one observes its recent performance, a disquieting truth emerges. The past year has witnessed a divergence, a parting of ways. While gold has ascended, bolstered by anxieties both real and imagined, Bitcoin has… faltered. A curious spectacle, indeed, for those who had placed their faith in its promise.
