One might reasonably expect, then, a certain… instability. A frantic scrabbling for reliable foundations. And yet, the herd persists, blindly piling into the latest digital trinket. They forget, it seems, that even the most ingenious machine requires a source of sustenance. A humble, yet vital, flow of power. And that, dear reader, is where the true opportunity lies.
A modest gain of nearly 7% for the year 2026, one might say. A pittance, really, when measured against the precipitous decline of the past twelve months – a fall of over 64%. The assurances of a regulatory environment favorable to these… creations… proved to be as substantial as a puff of smoke. The whales, those leviathans of the digital deep, have begun to shed their holdings, leaving ripples of unease in their wake. One wonders if they, too, have sensed the creeping chill.
The recent reports have been…kind. Not lavish, not boasting, but solid. They speak of record revenues, a healthy glow to the adjusted EBITDA, and a growing number of members joining the fold. They anticipate three and a half million new members this year, a thirty-six percent climb in revenue, and a modest thirty-seven cents per share in adjusted earnings. A small harvest, perhaps, but a harvest nonetheless. It’s a slow building, this thing they’re constructing, and a man must look beyond the immediate yield to see the potential roots taking hold.
Bitcoin possesses a remarkable resilience, bouncing back from precipitous falls of 50%, even 90%. Over the past five years, it has appreciated by nearly 180%, a performance that would have delighted the more speculative of our ancestors. However, recent months have introduced a degree of unease. Concerns about the economy, the trajectory of interest rates, and the rather alarming prospect of quantum computing rendering blockchain obsolete are, one suspects, more than mere whispers.
D-Wave Quantum (QBTS +3.96%) is one of those companies riding the wave. Its stock has done more looping than a Six Flags rollercoaster, bouncing from four bucks to forty-six in the last year. Which, let’s be honest, is either brilliant engineering or a really good marketing department. Or both. It’s the tech world, after all.
Look, I’m not saying AI isn’t overhyped. It absolutely is. But the market will correct itself eventually, regardless. It’s just…physics. Things go up, things go down. It’s not rocket science. And people act like they’re surprised? It’s the same story every time. The only guarantee in the market is that someone, somewhere, is about to make a spectacularly bad decision. It’s a certainty. A statistical inevitability. And the rest of us have to suffer for it.
Now, the stock hasn’t exactly been setting the exchanges ablaze, averaging annual losses of 21% over the last five years. A regrettable performance, to be sure. But consider this: even a slightly crooked path can lead to a worthwhile destination. One must simply possess the fortitude – and, naturally, a well-considered investment thesis – to see it through. Before entrusting your hard-earned currency to Chewy, one must assess the situation with the cold precision of a card sharp.
The appeal isn’t the thrill of exponential growth, naturally. It’s the sheer, quiet desperation of knowing you’ll receive something, regardless of whether the market decides to throw a tantrum. It’s a small comfort, admittedly, but in a world built on promises and fuelled by hope, a little bit of guaranteed income can be surprisingly… soothing. Don’t mistake this for optimism. It’s merely acknowledging reality.1
The company, a name not often whispered in the same breath as the tech giants, nevertheless commands a $4.3 billion business in providing the electrical infrastructure for these data centers. A substantial sum, certainly, though one easily lost in the larger narratives of innovation. One wonders, does anyone truly consider the fate of the power supply when contemplating the future of consciousness?
According to some SEC filing – because everything needs a filing, doesn’t it? – FSM Wealth Advisors decided they needed more BOND. More! As if they didn’t have enough. Now they’re sitting on 420,342 shares. Four hundred and twenty thousand! It’s like they’re collecting them. Is this a hobby now? And the value went up $3.83 million? It’s not just the buying, it’s the increase! It’s like the market is actively conspiring to make these people feel superior.
