It’s an impossible thing to predict how a business will fare decades down the road. The winds of change can blow fierce and unkind. But, there are a few companies whose business models are like the rivers that carve their way through the land, enduring the ages and still growing stronger. Among these companies, there are three with dividend growth that seems unstoppable: Coca-Cola, Walmart, and McDonald’s.
Yet, even as 78% of U.S. surgeons express a nascent curiosity toward this technology, many remain reluctant to embrace its potential, revealing regions of untapped opportunity akin to the unexplored shelves of an ancient library. The shift toward surgical robotics harbors the promise of significant winds at the backs of healthcare stalwarts such as Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) and Medtronic (MDT).
Proponents argue the stock suits “aggressive, long-term investors.” A more accurate label: gamblers willing to ignore arithmetic. Let us examine the machinery beneath the noise.
Consider Lululemon Athletica – a name that once summoned visions of endless ascent, now burdened by the mortal weight of maturation. Twenty years have forged its brand into a golden idol, worshipped by devotees who willingly surrender $100 for the privilege of wearing its sigil. Yet herein lies the torment: the god must feed on growth, and growth has grown shy. A 5% whisper of expansion in 2025, a shadow of its former roar, haunts the halls where once echoed the thunder of double-digit miracles.

In the shadow of this impending void, whispers emerge of new stations, not one but many, each vying for dominion over low-Earth orbit. Private enterprises-some obscure, others titanic-have stepped forward, their ambitions as vast as the cosmos itself. There is Vast Space, whose name seems almost mocking in its audacity; there is Axiom Space, promising continuity where chaos looms. Then comes Orbital Reef, a coalition that reads like a roll call of modern gods: Boeing, Redwire, Sierra Space, and Blue Origin-the latter born from the inexhaustible coffers of Jeff Bezos, who wields wealth as though it were a divine mandate.
On the surface, the on-chain whispers tell of a colossus building force. Once withdrawing 14,837 BTC-a sum that would make even kings envious-now he redeploys his chips. Not merely moving coins, but also opening gargantuan long positions, risking $295 million across four wallets, riding leverage between 3x and 10x-like a tightrope walker teetering over abyssal depths. The conviction? As deep as the strange silence before a storm.
The company’s market capitalization, exceeding $400 billion, rivals the mythical libraries of Babel, where knowledge was both a treasure and a trap.

In a delightful twist of fate, Gemini has garnered the coveted nod from the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA), a regulatory body that, one might say, has the charm of a stern librarian but the authority of a headmaster.
