A lot has changed since. That’s why we created a new approach — The --- H.E.A.T. Formula — to empower investors to spot opportunities, think independently, make smarter (often contrarian) moves, and build real wealth.

The Information said Oracle did ~$900M of NVDA‐GPU rentals last quarter at 14% gross margin (retail-store margins), and even lost ~$100M on Blackwell in the same period. Pushback helped ORCL halve its losses into the close, but the signal is clear: when you rent very expensive chips into a price-competitive market, the P&L gets thin—fast. Internal Oracle Data Show Financial Challenge of Renting Out Nvidia Chips Oracle became the best-performing megacap stock of 2025 after its executives said last month that the once-sleepy database firm will generate an astonishing $381 billion in revenue from renting out specialized cloud servers to OpenAI and other artificial intelligence developers over the next ... www.theinformation.com/articles/internal-oracle-data-show-financial-challenge-renting-nvidia-chips Here was the key point… ❝ “ In the three months that ended in August, Oracle generated around $900 million from rentals of servers powered by Nvidia chips and recorded a gross profit of $125 million—equal to 14 cents for every $1 of sales, the documents show. That’s lower than the gross margins of many nontech retail businesses .” While noting it could be an implementation timing issue, the article later added: “ In the three months that ended in August, Oracle lost nearly $100 million from rentals of Nvidia’s Blackwell chips, which arrived this year .” Rhyming history: this is why gray-hairs get twitchy around data centers. The last time the street thought “build it all now” was Exodus in 2000–01—great long-term demand, fatal near-term leverage. Even Oracle is pivoting. A year ago Ellison was hyped about a gigawatt nuclear-powered DC ; last month Safra Catz reminded everyone: “we don’t own the land or the buildings” —they’re shifting to revenue-gear, not concrete. That’s the tell: when the economics don’t pencil, the smart money de-risks the footprint. Rhyming history ≠ destiny. Michael Dell says he doesn’t see overbuild yet . Fair. These are multi-year contracts and the flywheel can run longer than bears think. Just remember: more capacity rarely brings pricing power…… Michael Dell says 'at some point there'll be too many' AI data centers, but not yet Dell Technologies CEO Michael Dell said that demand for AI computing power is "tremendous." www.cnbc.com/2025/10/07/michael-dell-too-many-ai-data-centers.html?taid=68e5805e763c99000197c479&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_content=main&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter This echoes my thoughts, at some point this bubble pops, but not yet. Meanwhile, the debasement trade keeps doing laps in the background. Gold > $4,000 and still climbing as Japan elects a fiscal/monetary dove (yen down, JGB 30-year up) and Europe wrestles with deficits and politics. Griffin said the quiet part out loud: gold is becoming the safe harbor the dollar used to be. This isn’t just a U.S. story—fiat faith is leaking globally . That’s why gold and crypto can rally with AI and equities: investors are betting on growth and hedging policy at the same time. AI financing is getting more… creative. Musk’s xAI is reportedly structuring a $20B SPV to buy NVDA GPUs and rent them back to xAI—with NVDA potentially investing in the vehicle. Call it circular, call it ecosystem building—either way it extends the cycle and keeps the builders paid. But circularity cuts both ways when economics tighten. What to do with this • Own the cash-flow stack that gets paid whether AI margins are 70% or 14%: power + grid + thermal + interconnect . Our spine hasn’t changed— $ETN $VRT $HUBB $POWL (electrical/thermal), $CEG $VST (dispatchable power), $EQIX $DLR (interconnect). Chips/fabrics leadership stays $NVDA $AVGO $ANET ; $AMD just got more real, but let the dust settle after the surge. • Trade the froth, don’t marry it. Unprofitable “AI-halo” names (hydrogen/quantum/EV charging) work until they don’t. Tight leashes, defined exits. • Respect the debasement bid . Keep a core in gold and the real-asset complex; the macro tail—fiscal dominance risk, global politics, curve steepening—still blows that sail. Rareview 2X Bull Cryptocurrency & Precious Metals ETF The Rareview Total Return Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide a total return through the combination of current income and capital appreciation. rareviewcapital.com/2x-bull-cryptocurrency-precious-metals-etf • Hedge the middle. Use put spreads/ratio puts on high-beta into headline windows; pairs help (long AI power vs. short a basket of unprofitable AI platforms). If we’re wrong and utilization ramps, we’ll know quickly via cloud gross margin and non-commenced lease burn-down. — # (# ) Why Covered Call ETFs Suck-And What To Do Instead Thursday October 23rd 2-3PM EST Covered call ETFs are everywhere — and everyone thinks they’ve found a “safe” way to collect yield in a sideways market. The truth? Most of them suck. They cap your upside, mislead investors with “yield” that’s really your own money coming back , and often trail just owning the stock by a mile. Join me for a brutally honest breakdown of how these funds actually work — and what you should be doing instead. What You’ll Learn: 🔥 Why “high yield” covered call ETFs are often just returning your own capital 📉 How most call-writing strategies quietly destroy compounding 🚫 Why owning covered calls in bull markets is like running a marathon in a weighted vest 💡 The simple structure that can fix these problems — and where the real daily income opportunities are hiding Click Here To Register register.gotowebinar.com/register/223734574050559064 🧠 The Great Nuclear Debate: Atomic Power Is the Next Energy Supercycle TL;DR: TD Cowen’s new Ahead of the Curve report lays out a rare consensus: Western nuclear power is not just coming back — it’s becoming the backbone of the AI + Energy industrial complex . The drivers are clear: hyperscaler demand, national security policy, and power scarcity. But there are bottlenecks — uranium, enrichment, and permitting — that could shape who wins this race and who gets left behind. ⚙️ The Setup: Nuclear’s Renaissance Is Real — and Strategic After decades of stagnation, nuclear energy is at the center of a global rearmament of power capacity. TD Cowen’s analysts frame it as a new growth cycle fueled by two catalysts: Tech demand – hyperscalers ($MSFT, $META, $AMZN, $GOOGL, $ORCL) signing 5–20 year nuclear PPAs to secure AI compute energy. Policy tailwinds – Trump 2.0’s DOE/DoD-led nuclear initiatives to fast-track reactor licensing, onshore enrichment, and small modular reactor (SMR) deployment. This combination turns nuclear from a slow, overregulated legacy sector into a high-growth, defense-grade infrastructure theme. TD Cowen expects the Western nuclear ecosystem to expand 2–3x by 2035 , and highlights that valuations of key nuclear stocks already price in far higher growth than government forecasts — meaning this is one of the few areas where the Street may still be underestimating how big it can get. 🔑 Four Nuclear Debates That Will Define the Trade TD Cowen structures the opportunity set around four key debates investors must understand: Growth vs. Reality: Agency forecasts differ wildly, but if governments deliver on “triple nuclear capacity by 2050,” the upside could rival renewables’ early 2010s ramp. 👉 Investor takeaway: Valuations still assume modest buildouts — any policy follow-through or cost breakthrough triggers upside. Can the West Build Again? Tech demand is here, but utilities remain gun-shy after decades of cost overruns. Private funding models (DOE partnerships, PPA-backed SMRs, and tech-led joint ventures) could be the key to breaking the logjam. 👉 This is where AI meets energy: hyperscalers will become the largest private nuclear sponsors in history. Fuel Shortages = Uranium Bull Market 2.0: Current uranium supply cannot meet projected demand without a significant price re-rating. Enrichment bottlenecks — especially if Russian capacity is restricted — make this a structural tailwind for Western miners and converters. 👉 Think $CCJ (Cameco), $LEU (Centrus), and enrichment tech suppliers. CANDU Reactors: The Dark Horse Comeback: Heavy-water reactors that use natural uranium could sidestep the enrichment bottleneck altogether. Canadian firms like $ATRL.T and SNC-Lavalin ($ATRL’s parent) could be stealth beneficiaries. ⚡ The Hyperscaler Catalyst: Nuclear as AI Infrastructure Perhaps the most explosive takeaway: Nuclear energy is now a data center strategy. TD Cowen maps over 6.9GW of new nuclear-linked power deals with hyperscalers: Company Partner Capacity Timeline $AMZN Talen Energy / Energy Northwest 6.9GW 2039–2042 $META $CEG (Constellation Energy) 1–5GW 2030s $ORCL TBD 1GW TBD $MSFT $CEG 835MW 20-yr PPA $GOOGL Kairos Power 500MW 2035 💥 Implication: The AI arms race is now a power arms race , and nuclear is the only clean, 24/7 baseload option that scales. 🧩 Winners & Losers: How to Trade the Atomic Revival 🔥 First-Order Winners (Direct Exposure) Category Key Names Why Fuel Cycle / Uranium $CCO.T (Cameco), $LEU (Centrus), $UEC Rising uranium prices, enrichment bottleneck Reactor Tech / SMRs $BWXT, $OKLO, $X-energy, $ATRL.T Policy-led buildouts, DOE/DoD pilot reactors Engineering / Construction $FLR, $J, $BWXT, $ACM New project cycle + government partnerships Power Generation / Utilities $CEG, $NRG, $VST, $TLN Long-term PPAs with AI firms; dispatchable power scarcity AI-Adjacent Hyperscalers $MSFT, $META, $AMZN, $ORCL Power security = AI uptime advantage 🚀 Second-Order Winners Category Key Names Why Grid & Electrification $ETN, $HUBB, $POWL, $ABB Demand for HVDC, transformers, interconnects Thermal / Power Infra $VRT, $MOD Cooling and power for AI-driven data centers Policy Picks $BWXT, $CEG Tied to Trump’s DOE/DOD nuclear modernization agenda ⚠️ Losers / Structural Laggards Legacy renewables-only utilities – face intermittency disadvantage and subsidy dependence. Import-reliant uranium refiners – exposed to Russian sanctions risk. Pure-play wind/solar EPCs – squeezed by nuclear’s comeback as “green baseload.” 🧠 Strategic Angle This report confirms one of the most powerful structural shifts in the global economy: The AI-power-nuclear flywheel. It links your top themes — AI infrastructure, power grid investment, defense-industrial rearmament — into one trade. Trade 1: Long $BWXT / $CEG / $VST vs. short $ENPH / $RUN (renewable laggards). Trade 2: Long $CCJ / $LEU / $ATRL.T (uranium + heavy-water angle). Trade 3: Long $ETN / $VRT / $ABB (grid + power enablers). For timing: TD Cowen sees front-loaded policy impact through 2026–2028 , with fuel-cycle scarcity sustaining the bull case well into the 2030s. 🧩 The Big Picture: The New Atomic Age Nuclear is no longer an ESG liability — it’s a national security necessity and a tech enabler. The U.S. is rebuilding what it dismantled: DOE and DoD are now venture investors in nuclear startups. AI firms are becoming the anchor tenants for SMRs. Utilities are the new platform trades — predictable yield + optionality on AI power. If the 2010s were the decade of “renewables beta,” the 2020s are shaping up as the decade of atomic alpha . Bottom Line: TD Cowen’s “Great Nuclear Debate” makes one thing clear — this isn’t your grandfather’s nuclear cycle. It’s an AI-fueled, defense-backed, policy-protected energy supercycle . And for investors, that’s the kind of asymmetric setup that defines generational trades. 📈 Stock Corner Today’s stock is a sector and it’s a short….. Rates are coming down so homebuilders should be doing better, they aren’t. My guess is it’s because the average consumer has no money. We are seeing similar moves in other areas. I think it’s prudent to have some hedges around a weak consumer. The short side is much harder than the downside, you can’t hold a short as long and you need to be watching the chart. I’m traveling for the next two weeks so it’s unlikely I’m going to do much shorting. I did buy more puts on ARKK on Monday, nice timing by me But if those stocks turn then my puts get crushed. 📬 --- In Case You Missed It — # (# ) 🤝 Before You Go Some Ways I Can Help ETFs : The Antidote to Wall Street Inside HEAT: Our Monthly Live Call on What Wall Street Doesn’t Want You To Know Financial HEAT Podcast https://www.youtube.com/@TuttleCap Freedom from the Wall Street Hypocrisy Tuttle Wealth Management: Your Wealth Unleashed Advanced HEAT Insights: Matt’s Inner Circle, Your Financial Edge All rights reserved.
