A single tweet from hedge fund manager Eric Jackson, once a vocal advocate for Opendoor, redirected attention to Better Home & Finance (BETR). His assertion that BETR could become the “Shopify of mortgages” ignited a frenzied 47% surge in the latter stock. While Opendoor remains technically supported by Jackson’s broader thesis, the pivot exposed the fragility of momentum-driven investments. Retail investors, ever opportunistic, liquidated positions in Opendoor to chase the next speculative prize-a move that turned the stock into collateral damage.

After disclosing that its cloud business had grown faster than a bureaucratic committee in a hurricane, Oracle reappeared in the headlines today, this time with a plotline thicker than a 1980s thriller. The company announced two co-CEO successors to Safra Catz, who, in a move reminiscent of a retirement home’s mandatory shuffleboard tournament, declared her intention to step down. Meanwhile, Oracle edged closer to becoming a TikTok USA co-owner, a deal that feels less like a business transaction and more like a geopolitical game of Jenga with added tea ceremonies.

GoPro has been crowned No. 5 in the Appliances & Electronics category of Newsweek‘s 1,000-strong World’s Most Trustworthy Companies for 2025. Imagine a grand parade of 33 companies in their category, all preening like peacocks, while GoPro fluffs its feathers smugly. For two years running, they’ve clung to this list like a tick on a tale-bearing dog.

As the calendar turns to September, the company is poised for a significant announcement at month’s end that could bring the stock even closer to its previous highs. Investors may want to evaluate the current situation to determine whether now is the time to capitalize on a potential dip.

is this investment merely a form of self-interest in disguise? OpenAI, after all, will deploy the funds not in charity, but for the construction of vast data centers, designed to fuel the next generation of artificial intelligence. Yet, these data centers will run on Nvidia’s own GPUs, thus ensuring that this substantial sum will turn back into Nvidia’s coffers. What a clever arrangement. For all the talk of groundbreaking innovation, one wonders if the grand scheme merely serves to line the pockets of those already at the helm. The systems will require a staggering 10 gigawatts of compute power-approximately the same as 4 million to 5 million GPUs. This, one imagines, will be the total volume Nvidia ships this year. It seems the ambitions of these companies are boundless, yet rather contained within a circle of their own making.

The market’s applause for this union is loud, but it echoes in a hall where the walls are thin. One might wonder: Is this a marriage of equals, or a landlord leasing space to a tenant who still owes rent? The partnership, aimed at Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), feels less like a grand strategy and more like two weary boxers agreeing to hold hands before the referee counts to ten.
