China fields roughly 600 hypersonic missiles, according to a military assessment leaked last year. Hypersonic means Mach 5. Colorado-based Ursa Major is helping close the gap.

Isn’t it odd that teetotaler Donald Trump is our first “vice” president? Think about it, a guy famous for cringey dancing to the Village People’s “YMCA” is singlehandedly loosening controls on weed, psychedelics and gambling. Is it now hip to be square?

AI IPO mania has begun. Even that Shark Tank dude from the ping-pong movie who got $15 million from Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX is building data centers. It’s worth remembering the story of Global Crossing, filled with ghosts of Wall Street’s past.

Too many of our youth hate billionaires but sure enjoy iPhones and Starbucks’s Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso. They buy gunk on Goop and go gaga for Gwyneth Paltrow (worth $200 million), who recently slammed "superrich white dudes."

WSJ: All the Good From Goodwill
“People come out of prison with no money, no job, not always into a good community. Our re-entry program has a 5% recidivism rate—astoundingly low,” Steven Preston, president and CEO of Goodwill Industries, told me. Goodwill? Like me, you probably think of Goodwill as the place you drop off old clothes and furniture. I’ve never stuck around long enough to see our donations in action. I had no idea.

Tim Cook, didn’t invent globalization, but he sure perfected it. In 2004, I wrote, “We think, they sweat.” Easy for me to say. Mr. Cook has lived and breathed it—with the 2007 iPhone intro, he made it happen. He personified the globalization that brought billions out of poverty.

Eleven million dollars has been bet on Polymarket on whether Jesus Christ returns before the notoriously delayed “Grand Theft Auto VI” videogame is released. Like the Special Forces soldier who allegedly made $400,000 betting on Nicolás Maduro’s capture, does someone know something?

“We reduced time to treatment in stroke by over an hour, which is really meaningful,” says Chris Mansi, a neurosurgeon and co-founder of Viz. ai. Turns out artificial intelligence is more than vibe coding or summarizing dull meetings. It is also a lifesaver.

IPOs are coming! When I started on Wall Street, a grizzled veteran pulled me aside: “Tech stocks are just like Vancouver gold mining stocks. You buy them when the price-to-earnings multiple is high, even infinite, and sell them when the P/E is low.” Huh?
