  CTK Capital Intelligence (@CTKCapitalIntel) reported 10 minutes ago

  Three of my holdings showed up across a few big name institutions in this quarter's institutional filings. Here's why I own them. Filing season is noise if you read it as a scoreboard. It's useful if you read it as a question: what did people with the most research capacity conclude, and does it match your own work? Three names in my book came up. I owned all three before the filings and I own more conviction in them after. $GOOGL — Alphabet grew revenue 22% year over year last quarter. That's the eleventh consecutive quarter of double-digit growth at a company already measured in trillions. Most mid-caps can't sustain that rate. Alphabet is doing it at a scale where the law of large numbers should have killed it years ago. But the growth rate isn't why I own it.Every other participant in the AI trade is exposed to a link in the chain they don't control. Nvidia's customers can design their own silicon. The model labs rent their compute. The cloud providers buy their chips at someone else's margin. Alphabet is the only company that owns the model, the silicon, the data centers, the distribution and the advertising engine that monetizes all of it. When you own the whole stack, every dollar of AI spending you make stays inside the building. TPUs mean Alphabet isn't paying Nvidia's gross margin to train its own models. That is a structural cost advantage no competitor can replicate without a decade of chip design.Then look at what sits underneath: Search is a near-monopoly on how humans locate information. YouTube is the largest video platform on earth. Android runs most of the phones on the planet. Google Cloud is a genuine top-three hyperscaler. Four entrenched positions, each with enormous switching costs, funding a fifth business in frontier AI research. My own gauge on it reads bullish on earnings, bullish on technicals, bullish on analyst positioning — and negative on financials, driven entirely by the capital expenditure required to build AI infrastructure. That spending is simultaneously the thesis and the risk. I'm treating it as the thesis. $AMZN — the market has it filed under the wrong industryA screening comparison ran this week putting Amazon against its official peer group. The peers: eBay, Macy's, Kohl's, Dillard's, Ollie's Bargain Outlet, Savers Value Village, and a company called Hour Loop. That's the bull case, and it wasn't the point of the article. Amazon is classified as broad line retail. Retail is roughly 74% of revenue, so the label technically fits. But AWS is 17% and advertising is 9% — a quarter of the business comes from the two highest-margin categories in all of technology, and the taxonomy the market screens it through cannot see either one. Run the comparison anyway. Amazon trades at 21.33x earnings against a 32.5x industry average. It generates a 12.61% return on equity against a 6.47% peer average — nearly double. It grew revenue 19.62% against 17.04%, at a base orders of magnitude larger than anything else in the table. Debt-to-equity of 0.4, the strongest balance sheet among its four closest comparables. Cheaper on earnings, twice as profitable, growing faster, less levered. The only line where it screens expensive is price-to-sales — exactly what you'd expect from a company selling cloud infrastructure and advertising rather than clearance inventory. A high price-to-sales ratio against department stores isn't a warning. It's proof the classification is wrong. AWS is running its fastest growth in eighteen quarters. Amazon holds the number one position in domestic e-commerce, top-tier position in cloud, and the third-largest digital advertising business in the world. Three oligopolies inside one ticker, priced like a retailer. It's my worst-performing position, down 4.0% since entry, and it's 14.79% of the book. Being early and being wrong look identical right up until they don't. $BAC — the cheapest funding in American banking. Bank of America is 22.13% of Too Big To Fail and up 25.5% since entry, the best performer in that portfolio. The mechanism is unglamorous and durable. $BAC sits on an enormous, low-cost, sticky retail deposit base — the cheapest funding in the industry. When asset yields rise faster than deposit costs, that spread widens, and it drops straight to the bottom line. There is no product cycle, no execution risk, no competitive response that changes it. You cannot start a competitor to a hundred-year-old deposit franchise. This week they committed $250 billion to a Critical Infrastructure Finance Initiative — capital mobilized over 18 months, through July 4th of next year, timed to the country's 250th anniversary. Three buckets: digital infrastructure covering data centers, computing hardware, chips, telecom and semiconductors; energy and power covering generation, storage and distribution; and core infrastructure covering transportation, grid optimization, water and critical minerals. Read that alongside what the other two announced. JPMorgan launched a $1.5 trillion Security and Resiliency Initiative. Morgan Stanley committed roughly $1.5 trillion over the next decade to technology and infrastructure. Different time horizons, so don't add them into a headline number — add them into a posture. Three of the four largest banks in America independently concluded that financing the physical buildout of American industrial and computing capacity is the highest-return use of their balance sheet this decade.That's the part the rate-cut debate keeps missing. Net interest margin is one engine of three. Investment banking, advisory and capital markets are the other two, and those run on deal volume rather than the policy rate. When a $250 billion infrastructure program needs a home, there are four phone numbers in this country.I didn't buy any of these because someone else did. I bought them because each one sits at an intersection of a structural trend and a market position nobody can take away. The filings are confirmation that the reasoning isn't unusual. They aren't the reason. Educational only. Not financial advice.

  At 21, I lost the only business I had. eBay suspended my account for a violation and crashed it overnight. Every agent I called told me that ‘the suspension was final.’ Almost 7 years of work gone in a day. I opened a new account the next morning, then sat there thinking about what happens when they suspend that one too. So I opened 100 eBay accounts straight away. Managing them manually got me into a lot of issues, so I built software just to manage my own accounts. A black screen that ran my 100 accounts and nobody else's. That black screen became AutoDS, the company I ran for the last 10 years. But none of that exists without the suspension. And now I'm watching other founders go through their own version of it. If you're sitting in yours right now, keep going.

  @Frogboyx1Gaming Costco has a CyberPowerPC at $999 after a $500 instant rebate. Core Ultra 5 225F, 32GB DDR5, 1TB NVMe, RTX 5060. Rebate expires 08/23/26. The sign lists a lot. It does not list the one number that decides whether this machine is useful to you. It names the GPU model, not its VRAM. That omission is not sneaky, just uninformative, because the plain RTX 5060 ships in exactly one config: 8GB GDDR7, 128-bit bus, 448 GB/s. There is no 12GB or 16GB version to distinguish it from. The 5060 Ti is the card with two flavors. People conflate them constantly. For 1080p gaming, 8GB is fine. For running models locally, 8GB is the entire conversation. What actually fits: 7B to 8B at Q4, roughly 4.5 to 5 GB, sits on the GPU with context to spare 12B to 14B at Q4, roughly 8 to 9 GB, already spilling into system RAM 20B and up, CPU offload, which means slow enough that you stop using it The 32GB of DDR5 does not rescue this. System RAM is the consolation prize, not the pool. Now the comparison most posts skip. A used RTX 3090 runs $850 to $1,100, typically landing near $1,000. That is 24GB of GDDR6X on a 384-bit bus at about 936 GB/s. Token generation is memory bandwidth bound, so you are not only getting 3x the capacity, you are getting roughly 2x the throughput on top of it. But read the units carefully. $999 buys 8GB inside a complete working system. $1,000 buys 24GB and nothing else. That "nothing else" is doing real work. Add a board, CPU, RAM, case, and an 850W supply to feed a 350W card wanting dual 8-pin, and you land at $1,600 to $1,800. The prebuilt's stock PSU almost certainly cannot take a 3090 later either, so treating the Costco box as an upgrade path is wishful. The filter step. Neither option is wrong. They answer different questions. If you want a working machine today and your models are 8B and under, $999 complete is a genuinely strong number. If the goal is 30B class models, you are not buying a computer, you are buying VRAM. And $999 buys 8GB of it welded into a chassis you cannot meaningfully upgrade. Intuition says that's a deal. Logic asks a deal on what, specifically. The spec that constrains your actual use case is the only one worth pricing. One caveat before anyone runs to eBay: most used 3090s mined through 2021 and 2022, and the GDDR6X on the backside runs hot enough to cook its thermal pads. Ask whether they were replaced.

  @TonyClimate @eBay This whole issue is a big fat nothingburger. Talking to someone wouldn’t change the outcome or speed it up in any meaningful way. For a closed-account non-delivery case, I'd much rather have automated processes in place that resolve the issue in a matter of days than have to talk to some call center drone reading from a script. I mean, seriously, what are you whining about getting 'straightened out'? You go into your purchase history, wait until the estimated delivery date has passed, open an “Item not received” request, and the system handles the rest. Because the seller’s account is already closed or restricted, they can’t respond, the case times out in the buyer’s favor, and eBay issues the refund. No phone call, no chat agent, no special escalation is required. That’s how the Money Back Guarantee is built to scale. What am I missing?

  Want 100k a year... doing nothing. Here is how This is the biggest side hustle I do. I was debating to post it or not, but what the hell. Every 3 months to a year a new vehicle is announced that will be hyper popular that they allow you to put a $100 deposit on. The Slate truck, the Scout Terra, Hummer ev, Cybertruck, Bronco, Ram TRX.. All are examples. I put $100 deposits on the vehicle the second it becomes available. Multiple vehicles if possible (I only got 1 bronco before they sold out, but got 5 Slate trucks, 3 TRX's, 4 cyberbeasts etc). When you get your confirmation emails that the vehicles are going to show, post that on ebay and sell them for $10,000, $20,000 or $30,000 over sticker. The fastest I ever sold one was the Bronco, I sold it before I got it and before I even paid for it. The longest was a Hummer EV took me a week to get rid of it. Some tips. 1. You must order them AS SOON AS they come out. Later doesn't work. People who are paying so much over sticker want them NOW. So only the first ones go so far over MSRP. If you wait, thousands of other people get them first. So put it on the calendar and get as many as possible as soon as possible. 2. ALWAYS get the highest trim. Every option possible. If there is a launch/foundation edition get that. You want exclusivity. The people paying over sticker are not paying over for the base model. 3. Color. Always get the best color. This is subjective, but most brands have a halo color. Get that. When unsure, its the wildest color usually. 4. List for sale as soon as you get the order confirmation. You post the build sheet, vin, confirmation order on ebay. This way people can buy it as soon as possible. 5. Register them in montana. You can use 3rd party companies to register an llc in montana, I use mttitles . com. This allows you to get super cheap registration (hundreds of dollars) but more importantly pay no sales tax. Many states are cracking down, but its a moot point because youre not driving it around, you just get the temp tag at the dealer and sell it before plates ever come. 6. Get refunds on losers. If your order is ready to come in and people are selling pre-orders on ebay for crazy money, or you can still easily reserve a new one for quick delivery, cancel it and get your $100 back (I did this on the ford lightning, what a ****). My current deposits are as follows 5 Slate Trucks 4 Scout Terras 4 Scout Traveller suvs 4 REO trucks

  YOU WON: your auction estimate was probably the biggest error Yale applauded a student who paid $5 for $2.07 in coins. After learning why that happened, the next winner still paid $1.60 for $1.48. 9:20 real-cash jar auction begins 15:35 $5 bid meets $2.07 in coins 24:51 why winning oil firms kept losing money 40:38 class repeats the mistake after the lesson 56:30 eBay rule that makes honest bidding dominant Ben Polak runs the experiment inside Yale's Game Theory Lecture 24, Asymmetric Information: Auctions and the Winner's Curse. The 62-minute class is free and public through Open Yale Courses. The mechanism is brutal: every bidder observes true value plus some error. The winner is not necessarily the best analyst. It is often the person with the largest positive error. That is why adding bidders can make the winning price less informative. Competition selects the most optimistic estimate, then makes optimism look like conviction. Before bidding on an acquisition, hire, ad placement, or contract, ask: if this offer wins, what must everyone else believe that I do not? Then reprice the deal under that condition. Cut the forecast, add integration and fulfillment cost, and set the walk-away price before the room gets competitive. Winning only proves your bid was highest. Polak's jar shows why it may also prove your estimate was worst.

  My Little House book series unicorn find arrived today. The box didn’t make it through the journey, so I received it like this. Unfortunately, some of the covers on the discontinued copies now have creases. Will it affect resale? I’m going to find out. I paid $25 for this entire lot and eBay sold comps on the combined sets are over $500. My biggest problem actually isn’t the creased covers. It’s wanting to keep this set because I am a book collector as much as I am a book seller. What would you do?

  Reselling customer returns is a labor of love… I enjoy my side hustle because it gets me outside, sweating and interacting with folks in my community that I would have never met. It is also going to help pay for our 3 children’s college fund. My wife recently had the idea of putting the next $10k in reselling profit into a 529 for our youngest child that is starting 5th grade versus directing it towards the kids in high school. The note from the customer was Do Not Need it Anymore. They chose to use a Disney Mickey Halloween Arch for a season or two and then return it for a refund of $439! I inspected it last night and it’s in good working condition with two small defects 1) One of the ears is missing the metal post to hang it…easy fix 2)The base cheap metal structure at the bottom of each base arch is missing. Some of the fasteners are missing. On EBay similar sets have sold for $350 to $500… I posted for $450 on FB Marketplace and we shall see… I didn’t build the whole thing but did check that the competents worked and it was really cool to see! #customerreturns #costco #reseller

  🚨 Bill Gates’ daughter has been caught up in a major fraud scandal that could land her in federal prison for up to 20 years. Phoebe Gates, the 23-year-old daughter of the world’s most famous billionaire, co-founded a browser extension called Phia that was marketed as a helpful “personal shopping assistant” designed to find better fashion deals for users while earning commissions the legitimate way. Instead, a Bloomberg investigation and internal Slack messages have revealed that the company was allegedly running a classic cookie-stuffing scheme, silently opening background tabs, forcing its own tracking cookies onto users’ browsers, and then claiming commissions on sales it never actually drove through fake or simulated clicks. What makes this especially damaging is that Phoebe was not in the dark about the practice. In a December message to her team she specifically asked them to “confirm auto pop for cookie drop is live on ALL sites… to confirm we are monetizing on all [gross merchandise volume],” while her co-founder continued pushing to keep the system active even after engineers raised compliance concerns. When the feature was finally disabled, Phia’s average daily revenue collapsed from around $80,000 to as low as $10,000–$28,000, and cookie stuffing reportedly accounted for 51% of the sales the company claimed credit for in a single month. Corporate attorney Ariel Givner has warned that this exact conduct is typically treated as federal wire fraud in U.S. courts, carrying a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison along with fines and restitution. There is already clear precedent: an affiliate marketer who ran a similar scheme against eBay (which ironically invested in Phia) was convicted and sent to federal prison. Phoebe has spent years insisting her startup would succeed with “no ties to my privilege or my last name,” yet the internal records now paint a very different picture of a company whose growth appears to have relied heavily on quietly siphoning commissions it did not earn. For a billionaire’s daughter who positioned herself as an independent entrepreneur, this scandal has suddenly become far more than a PR problem. Kari Bundy-- Health Actvist
