How do global all cap index funds differ and how to choose?
I want to just put money in a global all cap index. I note there are quite a few, such as the ones listed below. Are they literally identical (slight difference in regional/sector coverage split suggests not quite) and if not, how do these kind of funds differ in the …
Retail leads, Institutions Reduce Exposure
Wall Street appears to be distributing gold and silver to retail investors. Since Q2 2025, retail investors have poured over $ 70 billion into gold ETFs, with inflows more than tripling in the past six months. In contrast, institutional investors have been net sellers, offloading around $1 billion , with …
Possible invasion USA - CUBA. Where to invest?
Given the possibility of a U.S. invasion of Cuba (whether peaceful or not), I’ve been thinking it might be a good idea to invest in an American company with interests there. Oil? Tourism? Construction? Telecommunications? Any suggestions for interesting companies?
Why do global index funds grow (beyond inflation) to reliably?
I'm intending to just start parking my money on a world index fund but want to understand the risk/reward I'm exposing myself. I understand the risk point: it's low risk as it's (1) market and secor agnostic and (2) the world's biggest companies who on average are more likely to …
Fundrise VCX is live on the NYSE today. Is this the best way to own OpenAI and Anduril?
If you’re like me and you’re tired of every legacy tech company slapping "AI" on their earnings call to juice the stock, you should look at the Fundrise Innovation Fund (VCX) launch today. If you didn't know already, it’s a fund that holds actual pre-IPO positions in OpenAI, Anthropic, Databricks, …
Time to go digital na ba all in?
Most of us esp those coming from trad families treat gold jewelry as a form of savings, but liquidating it is slow, inconvenient, and worst, often below market value. Imagine, sa dami ng pawnshops sa pinas, ang hirap mag liquidate. Babaratin ka pa all the time. Digital gold, on the …
If I'm long the index and believe they will go up long term, why would it be a bad idea to buy SSO and QLD that are 2x the index?
If I'm long the index and believe they will go up long term, why would it be a bad idea to buy SSO and QLD that are 2x the index? I understand there's volatility decay. The 2x index seems to capture the majority of the upside. For example, the S&P …
The AI boom has a circular capital problem nobody wants to talk about, and a power grid that's 70% end-of-life
Spent the last week going through the financial and operational data behind the AI industry. A few things that don't get enough coverage: **The circular money loop** OpenAI spent $12.43B on Azure inference between CY2024 and Q3 2025. Its total external revenue in all of 2024 was $3.76B. The inference …
Everyone’s debating Reddit’s traffic. No one’s modeling what happens if AI becomes its biggest customer.
Most of the discussion around Reddit right now is focused on traffic. Google AI → fewer clicks → weaker ad growth. That’s the obvious layer. But while going through the numbers, something else started to stand out. Reddit’s “other revenue” mostly data licensing is still small (\~$140M). But the structure …
$GEV quietly raised 2026 revenue guidance to $45B while the whole market was distracted by the Fed and Iran
Came across GEV and honestly surprised it’s not being talked about more. EPS grew over 200% in 2025. Management just guided $44-45B in revenue for 2026. Customers are apparently paying upfront just to reserve production capacity through 2030. Like slot reservations. The demand is so far ahead of supply that …
