• HBM shortage and memory pricing
• Trillion-dollar chip names
• Narrow breadth and overextension
• AI capex and the real bottleneck
• Power plays: TerraWolf and Applied Digital
• Software split and cyber re-rating
• Passive flows, SpaceX, and governance
• Robinhood agents and prediction market jurisdiction
• Oil, shipping, and consumer crosscurrents
• Housing and small-cap risk
• What to watch next
