Many investors in the current market constantly asking others, practioners, and mgmt teams about 'their experience with AI' and then make up their mind as some derivative mosaic of 'things they hear' from others like my brother in christ, open up Claude Code or Codex and use it!
Shout out my guy @rmcentush on the great piece around why it's not as simple as ordering a bunch of equipment and 'plugging it in' for data centers - grid or BTM. This is helpful for laymen and experts, both! Visuals are great. Lucky to see early version of the piece and Ryan https://t.co/jB8lBonRc

Wrote about this earlier this week, but I think the heart of the bond selloff is basically countries and companies (hyperscalers) have no choice but to keep borrowing, and investors suddenly have a lot more options about what to put their money in. https://t.co/zy1bsbnNAY https://t.co/9FhJRqdMax

While bond market dooming is in vogue, the reality is most of the US yield move has come in response to stronger than expected economic surprises. A dynamic that could easily reverse given how high forward expectations have become. h/t @thedailyshot https://t.co/MGFdA0L3wJ
One thing that absolutely is in the textbooks -- a big investment boom both pulls in imports and changes the savings v investment balance. The current data center/ AI investment boom is in fact unusually import intensive 2/3 https://t.co/lILe9wv7wx

The last thing an advisor needs is to explain to a client that they are facing a retroactive tax clawback in some product when the admin has already made it clear that it's in the cards for the most abusive versions of these products.
Recent rise in advisors asking me how to think about the various tax avoidance strategies that they are getting bombarded with every day. My answer is pretty simple - if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
