These Are The Banks The Fed Believes Will Fail / Companies / Financial Crisis 2025
By: Avi_Gilburt
The NY Fed has recently published a study on bank failures in the U.S., examining the reasons why banks fail. For this study, the regulator constructed a large database with balance sheet information for most U.S. banks dating back to the Civil War. This dataset is truly unique, as other studies on bank failures have focused only on the period since 1976. As a result, the longer time horizon of this study allows it to include data on over 5,000 bank failures.
The study draws the following conclusions about the causes of bank failures.
First, failing banks typically experience rising losses and deteriorating solvency before failure. Non-performing loans increase, leading to higher loan loss provisions, which ultimately result in lower profitability and reduced equity-to-assets ratios.

Nvidia Stock 5X to 30X / Companies / Nvidia
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Here's a reminder of why folk should not make the mistake of having little exposure to Nvidia, the more exposure the better - next gen accelerator (Black well) is 5x current gen H100 and depending on application and config delivers upto a 30X boost in performance, the AI bubble is nowhere near it's peak, take current deviation from the high as an opp you will regret missing, reminds me of buying bitcorn during Q4 2023, we all wanted it to dip but I nibbled a bit every other day to build up exposure, that's what folk should be doing with Nvidia.

LRCX Stock Split / Companies / Corporate Earnings
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Investors in Lam Research the 11th stock on my AI list get 10 new crispy shares for every one held, the normal pattern for most stocks is to rise into a split and fall afterwards as a sell the news event. Lam Research did bottom out $720 on 10th September and since rose to a recent high of $860 so a 20% rally, though in reality the stock has not done anything other than follow the script for the correction window that runs from Mid July to at least Mid October following it's FOMO run to $1120.

Nvidia Numero Uno Selling Shovels in the AI Gold Rush / Companies / Nvidia
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Folk need to realise that the likes of Chat GPT are mere milestones and not the final destination. As I have said before OpenAI will probably soon become a footnote in the history books. LLM's are a toy compared to what's to come but this also means all those companies going all in on LLM's won't survive or not capitalise on their investments. This is what a bubble looks like, inflated on ever higher expectations as is happening with LLM's when they are just toys. We are probably looking at the top of the LLM's bubble that will give way to the next phase in this building AI bubble where what remains at the core of the AI mega-trend is Nvidia with it's GPU's now rebranded as a family of AI processors or which more accurately should be called compute accelerators. So it was well past the time for Nvidia to become the NEW Numero Uno, with Google nudged to 2nd place in my Quantum AI tech stocks portfolio as we watch Nvidia getting rich by selling AI shovels to ALL of the tech giants. And in this case the shovels have an expiry date as they become OBSOLETE! At the maximum for most applications the life span of the infrastructure Nvidia is selling is 5 years! So not only is the Accelerated Compute market growing, all of the hardware also needs to be refreshed every 4-5 years!

Why Alien Intelligence Cannot Predict the Future / Companies / AI
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Humanity is now creating systems that we DO NOT UNDERSTAND how they actually work! AI is unlike anything man has developed to date, deep neural nets. Anyone who says that they understand what deep neural networks such as the LLM' with their billions and now trillion parameter neural nets are doing is lying. A deep neural net is a lot like looking at a stock price chart where we have the neural net that is on the left and we have the prediction that is outputted on the blank side of the stock chart.

RIP Google Search / Companies / Google
By: Stephen_McBride
Summary:
- A federal judge ruled Google (GOOG) illegally maintained its search dominance by paying Apple (AAPL) $20 billion annually to be the default search engine on iPhones. This could impact Apple’s profits and signal a decline in Google’s search dominance.
- The growing US national debt could lead to the devaluation of the dollar, resulting in higher stock prices.
- While most investors are cut off from the private markets, the Destiny Tech100 (DXYZ) is a fund that allows anyone to own a slice of companies like SpaceX and OpenAI.

AI Tech Stocks Portfolio / Companies / AI
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Current state of portfolio is 79.4% invested, 20.6% cash, though 9.76% is in crypto's which is meant to be temporary, i.e. I plan to exit virtually all of my crypto positions during the crypto bull market where the key risk is that it ends a lot earlier than expected, so effective percent invested in stocks is 70%.
All of the primaries and secondaries have delivered huge profits except Tesla and Apple. Even crappy IBM has delivered on its spike to $200 prompting heavy trimming, the big surprise was Micron, I was not expecting $130+! As for sleepers, Samsung has also delivered whilst Intel continues to snooze. All whilst most investors have a large chunk of cash parked in money market accounts because they listened to clown Cramer and the CNBC cartoon network so they are missing out on one of the greatest bull markets in history, what else can you call Nvidia 10xing in 18 months!

Several more target stocks have entered their buying ranges - TSMC, ASML, Apple.ALB, CRUS, JBL, GPN to join the likes of AMD, ADSK, GFS and TSLA.
The key metrics to watch are the buying ranges and deviations from all time highs i.e. AMD is well within it's buying range and is trading at -36% deviation from it's all time high set just a few weeks ago! As well as now no longer trading above 100% of it's PE range unlike META.

QI Group: Leading With Integrity and Impactful Initiatives / Companies / Corporate News
By: Sumeet_Manhas
There are many different ways to lead, in both life and business. Some philosophies are more effective than others and often the “right” way to lead is also the hard way, or the expensive way. Perhaps that is why we see hope when a large, multinational conglomerate operates with the dignity of a socially conscious entity and not the brutal coldness of overt capitalism. QI Group, through its philanthropic efforts, global partnerships, and sustainability efforts, is that company.
