*****

Just days before Nvidia reports earnings on August 26, three signals are changing the context surrounding the artificial intelligence boom: approximately $3 trillion of commitments analyzed by The Wall Street Journal, Nvidia’s new $500 billion financing platforms and the U.S. Treasury’s intervention in the long-duration bond market.

In this analysis, I examine Big Tech’s off-balance-sheet commitments, the financing structure involving Meta and Blue Owl, Nvidia’s non-binding agreements, the growing role of private credit and the risks associated with borrowers such as CoreWeave.

We will also examine why Nvidia’s results could be interpreted very differently this time, how tension in the bond market is complicating the financing of AI infrastructure and three approaches that can help investors define the risk of a portfolio with substantial exposure to technology stocks.

Three major central banks will meet, most of the Magnificent Seven will report earnings, and several signs of fragility are already emerging beneath the surface.

In this briefing, I examine the underestimated risk coming from Japan, the new Chinese Kimi K3 model, the wave of margin calls in South Korea, and the extreme use of leverage in the United States. I also review the latest technical signals for the S&P 500, the Nasdaq, and Nvidia, along with the Fed’s recent communications, the private credit crisis, the labor market, U.S. GDP, and the growing financial pressures facing consumers.

Finally, we will look at why oil could quickly complicate the situation, what China is actually doing with gold, where the viral $38,000-per-ounce target comes from, and why gold, silver, and Bitcoin could benefit from a rotation of capital out of semiconductors.

We also dive deep into the accelerating private credit crisis, an impending reversal in corporate buybacks, and historical indicators flashing a major warning signal for tech and semiconductors. On the flip side, we analyze why the risk-to-reward ratio has officially flipped for gold, silver, Bitcoin, and oil—including an unbelievable discovery on the US Mint website hinting at a massive gold revaluation.

The current market euphoria, especially in sectors like semiconductors (which have gained about 62% in the past two months) is pushing many retail investors to go "all in" out of fear of missing out. In this video, I want to show you that there are better ways to manage risk than just buying shares blindly.

We will explore how to transform a linear risk profile into an asymmetric one using a specific options strategy: the Ratio Backspread. This approach allows you to drastically limit your maximum risk while staying positioned to capture potential explosive market moves, whether you are bullish or bearish.

The S&P 500 just surged 20% in 4 weeks, a rare technical event seen only twice before: just before the 1929 Great Depression and the 2000 Dot-Com crash. In this May 2026 market briefing, we look past the headlines to uncover the "rotting foundations" of the current economy.We start by deconstructing the misleading "300-year anomaly" report from Bank of America and look at the real data behind the Semiconductor (SOX) ETF. From record margin debt (now over 5% of US GDP) to the return of the Hindenburg Omen and a 5-standard deviation momentum overshoot, the technical warning signs are flashing red.We also dive into the "Iceberg" of the April employment data, exposing how the BLS Birth-Death model is masking a deeply negative labor market. Finally, we discuss the geopolitical shifts from the US-China trip, the looming Private Credit crisis, and a smart options strategy to hedge your portfolio against the "perfect storm."

Several critical technical signals suggesting that global equity markets are dangerously overbought, mirroring levels seen just before the dot-com crash and the Great Depression. While the stock market remains near all-time highs, the real economy is sending distress signals, including a massive divergence in imports and a multi-year decline in key economic indicators. The video explores the current state of central bank policies, the shifting narrative surrounding the AI bubble, and the impact of a new Federal Reserve chair on market stability. I emphasize the importance of managing risk through options and tactical positioning to navigate this "decision zone".

This video briefing discusses a warning signal from the Fed regarding the growing exposure of major US banks to private lending, as highlighted by a recent Bloomberg headline. Jamie Dimon's concerns about potential private equity losses and the broader implications for leveraged finance are also examined. We analyze historical market data, including bear market rallies during 2007-2009, and discuss the critical issue of redemptions and bond/stock correlations, which are central to current finance news.In this weekend's deep dive, I break down the massive disconnect between official headline economic data and the severe deterioration happening under the surface.We are seeing a historic divergence: the UofM consumer sentiment survey just hit an all-time low (worse than 2008 and 2020), US GDP estimates continue to be heavily revised downward, and the official NFP jobs data is masking serious labor market weakness when compared to weather-adjusted models and participation rate adjustments.In this full market briefing, I show you exactly why the current S&P 500 rebound looks like a classic exhaustion gap and bull trap. I also explain why the traditional 60/40 portfolio is fundamentally broken for the decade ahead, and why investors should be wary of the Wall Street myth to "never miss the 10 best days" of the market.Topics covered in this analysis:

• The Bloomberg report revealing the Fed's emergency probe into bank exposure to private credit and PIK loans.
• A deep dive into the FOMC minutes, stagflation, and the risk of a systemic crash.
• The AI investment bubble: comparing current business equipment expenditures to the dot-com era.
• Oil shock realities: demand destruction and the massive spread in futures curves.
• The spiking 30-year bond yield and the MOVE index warning.
