To The Moon

I recently took a week long holiday in Japan. I visited Tokyo, Kyoto, and Hakone. Tokyo’s electric energy, from Shibuya’s bustling streets to serene Meiji Shrine, was invigorating. Kyoto’s tranquil temples, like Kinkaku-ji, and seasonal kaiseki dining offered cultural depth.

As someone vested in $MicroStrategy(MSTR)$ ,

Moats, Margins and Mega-Growth—But at What Cost? CoreWeave may not be a household name yet, but in AI infrastructure circles, it's the name lighting up pitch decks and GPU supply chains.

Friday market reacts to the tariffs concerns after President Trump warned of a 25% tariff on iPhones not made in the U.S. This create uncertainty just before the holiday weekend. Nvidia lost 1.7% and we saw quantum stocks performance was mixed, with $Quantum Computing Inc.(QUBT)$ still able to gain 10.27% on Friday, only $IONQ Inc.(IONQ)$ lost 0.22% and $D-Wave Quantum Inc.(QBTS)$ lost 1.26%. This is pretty significant compared to the gains that IONQ, QBTS and QUBT gained 36.52%, 23.96% and 14.52% respectively on Thursday. So this makes me wonder whether there is clear re-ignition of interest in quantum computing stocks, and Nvidia has played a significant role i
