Top Insights of the Week
1. 🫣 Apple Safely Building Into Irrelevance
Everyone says Apple is behind on AI because Siri’s a joke. That’s not the real issue. The real issue? Apple stopped taking risks…
While everyone’s building agents and AI copilots, Apple’s showing off… a liquid glass redesign.
It didn’t start this way. Siri was first. Apple had the lead. Then they got scared. Started hiring for safety instead of boldness. Traded guts for polish. And you can’t polish your way into the future.
The execs? Same folks for 20+ years. The culture? Built to avoid mistakes, not chase breakthroughs. Their best hires? Finance people, not AI builders…
They spent $10B on a car project. Walked away. Biggest acquisition? Beats headphones.
Meanwhile, OpenAI raised $13B and rebuilt the internet’s brain. And AI talent is not going to Apple. They’re going to builders who want to take big swings. And Apple doesn’t swing anymore. That’s how giants fade. Not overnight. Just slowly… safely… into irrelevance… And yet, Apple still holds the winning hand…
~$3T market cap
Billions of devices
Deep consumer trust
They could go big. Buy OpenAI. Build a truly remarkable wearable AI. Launch a humanoid robot. But they’ll need to break things to do it. Because the future doesn’t belong to the careful. It belongs to the gutsy.
2. 🛑 Made in USA? Not So Fast…
Clean energy is booming. But we’re still hooked on Chinese batteries. That’s starting to change… massively… but not without it’s roadblocks…
U.S. energy companies recenlty pledged $100B over 5 years to build battery plants here. That’s on top of the $85B already in motion.
The goal? Supply 100% of U.S. energy storage needs with American-made batteries by 2030.
That’s a factory boom… big names are in…
This isn’t just about batteries… It’s about building a homegrown industry. It’s about cutting reliance on overseas supply chains. And maybe exporting our power back to the world… but it just hit a roadblock…
Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” takes direct aim at the incentives behind the $100B battery boom. The 2030 goal of 100% U.S.-made batteries? Suddenly shaky. Now it’s all riding on what happens in D.C. over the next few months.

4. 🤫 Big Tech’s Secret Chip Weapon
Broadcom (AVGO). No flashy launches. No GPU hype. Just custom chips built for the biggest players in tech — Google, Meta, ByteDance. The kind of silicon that doesn’t just power AI... it unlocks it…
But they’re not just making chips. They’re owning the AI plumbing — networking gear, software, virtualization, and more. A full-stack empire.
And they’re not chasing everyone. Just the top of the top. Broadcom’s CEO thinks they’ll grab up to $90B in annual revenue from AI by 2027.
VMware integration gives them a software edge — $21.5B in software revenue (up 181%).
$15B in Q2 revenue (up 20%)
$4.4B from AI chips alone (up 46%)
$6.4B in free cash flow (43% of revenue)
Risks…
30% of revenue tied to China.
Geopolitical tensions, export bans.
AI is the new cloud. Everyone’s rushing to build on top of it. But Broadcom They’re not just playing the game. They’re designing the stadium. Become a premium subscriber and get alerted when this stock triggers our setup for entry point, target price, and stop loss.
Top 3 Charts of the Week
1. 🏀 Biggest Sports Fortunes Start in the U.S.
The Lakers might sell for $10B. That’s a record. And it could end the Buss family’s 45-year run.
NBA team prices are going vertical. A string of $3B+ deals proves it—U.S. franchises are now global trophies.
2. ☀️ European Summer Is Only Getting Busier
Locals in Europe are fed up. Protests. Tourist spray-downs. Even Louvre shutdowns. Too many visitors. Not enough space.
Europe had 747M tourists last year. Spain, Italy, and France? Over 1.4B tourism nights. Cities are fighting back with taxes, crowd limits, and Airbnb bans.
The welcome mat’s wearing thin. Travel’s still booming—but expect tighter rules, higher costs, and less patience abroad.
3. 💳 Amex Cards Are Pricier Than Ever
Amex and Chase are jacking up card fees—some as high as $795. In return? More perks. More flash. Amex just did its biggest refresh ever. Chase followed suit.
It’s not just about spending—it’s about status now. These cards are brands. Amex has 147M users and doubled its average fee. Chase wants a slice of that.
If you use these cards, expect flashier rewards—but also higher costs.
