$Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$  QQQ held firm while yields broke 5% — what that actually tells us? Friday the Nasdaq 100 rose 0.46% even as the 10-year yield pushed above 5%. That is not normal behaviour. In past cycles, yields at these levels usually pressure growth stocks hard. This time the AI heavyweights inside QQQ simply refused to break. Earnings power is still carrying the index. Monday pre-market looks softer. Dow futures are down and oil is reacting to fresh geopolitical comments. That is the market doing its usual risk check. The real question is simple: Is this resilience because the biggest companies can still grow earnings in a higher-rate world?
Or is it just the calm before rates finally force a bigger re-pricing? I lean toward the first

$Microsoft(MSFT)$  Microsoft just reminded the market why Azure still matters.  Microsoft jumped 3.66% on Friday after reports of a sweeping data center expansion plan. The numbers being floated are large — plans that could more than triple capacity over the coming years to meet AI and cloud demand. This is not a surprise to anyone who has followed the company. Azure has been capacity-constrained for some time. Customers have been turned away or delayed. When a platform with Microsoft’s enterprise relationships and software ecosystem cannot deliver enough compute, the logical response is to build more. That is exactly what they are doing. The other side of the story is the growing skepticism around AI infrastructure spending. Michael Bu

$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$  AMD just joined the $1 Trillion club — and the real story is only starting I’ve watched AMD for more than two decades. I remember when it was the perpetual underdog, fighting for scraps against Intel, and later playing second fiddle to Nvidia in the GPU space. Today it sits at roughly $1.03 trillion in market value. That is not a round number people throw around lightly. The stock has roughly tripled this year. The catalyst is clear and measurable: data center revenue more than doubled in the latest reported quarter, total company revenue jumped about 50%, and management is guiding for data center to more than double again by 2027. Hyperscalers and AI customers are no longer treating AMD as an alternative. They a

Higher for Longer: How I Would Deploy $10,000 Right Now? I’ve been in the markets long enough to know that “higher for longer” is not just a slogan. When rates stay elevated longer than the market expects, the winners and losers change. My base case is that rates stay relatively high for the next 12–18 months. Inflation is sticky in services, labour markets are still tight in key areas, and central banks are in no hurry to cut aggressively. That environment favours cash flow, pricing power, and balance sheet strength over pure growth stories that need cheap money. If I had $10,000 to invest today, this is how I would allocate it: • $4,000 – U.S. financials and quality banks
Higher rates for longer means better net interest margins. I would focus on large, well-capitalised names with strong

HOOD is shifting gears — Prediction Markets just overtook Crypto Robinhood just showed something big in the numbers. In Q2, revenue from its prediction markets (event contracts) hit $156 million.
Crypto trading brought in only $100 million. That’s the first time prediction markets have beaten crypto at Robinhood. And a big part of the jump came from Rothera — the CFTC-licensed prediction market exchange they launched with Susquehanna in late May/June. Rothera processed over 3.5 billion contracts in a very short time and quickly became one of the top platforms. World Cup volume helped a lot, and now football season is kicking in. Management is routing more and more flow through Rothera so they keep a bigger piece of the economics instead of sharing it with third-party exchanges. This is not

$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$  AMD just hit $1T market cap — and my position is flying Holding AMD through this run has been one of my better calls. The stock recently crossed the $1 trillion market-cap mark for the first time, trading around the $630 level after a strong multi-day surge. Year-to-date it’s up roughly 180-195%. That’s the kind of move that turns solid positions into serious gains. What’s driving it is simple and measurable: • Data center revenue more than doubled year-over-year in the latest reported quarter (to about $6.7B). • Overall company revenue grew ~50%. • Demand for EPYC CPUs and Instinct accelerators from hyperscalers and AI customers continues to accelerate. Management has guided for data center to more than double a
