#### Since March 2009, the S&P 500 has now experienced 34 corrections of 5% or more

Every single one came with scary headlines and seemingly compelling reasons to sell. And yet, the S&P 500 is up over 1,400% since the March 2009 low. The lesson: You don't build wealth by avoiding corrections. You build wealth by enduring them. Source: Charlie Bilello

#### Ivana Delevska from Spear made a great point about #nvidia investment thesis

What is Nvidia’s biggest risk? It has nothing to do with Jensen Huang. It is rather the fact that AI might keep booming while Nvidia would capture a smaller share of the spending. The uncertainty around Jensen Huang indeed comes at a difficult time. Two shifts are already testing Nvidia’s grip on the AI market. 1️⃣ Closed models are winning the dollars. As hyperscalers move more workloads onto their own chips, Nvidia could capture less of every dollar they spend on compute. 2️⃣ Open models are winning on volume. That should favor Nvidia’s general-purpose GPUs. But Chinese models are taking a meaningful share of that volume, which makes export controls one of the biggest questions for investors. Then there’s succession. Who could take over? Could Jensen still shape the technology roadmap in another role? The ripple effects go beyond Nvidia. ▪️ Circular AI financing faces a test. If your funding model assumes Nvidia will step in with a backstop, it’s time to reopen the spreadsheet. ▪️ Rival chipmakers and their suppliers could gain ground as customers diversify where they buy compute. Nvidia may look cheap. But low P/E is not an investment thesis. The 1 million dollar question is the following: How much of the next wave of AI spending will Nvidia actually capture?

#### What a wild timeline we are living in

Nvidia was the world's largest company just a few weeks ago. Now: - Down 36% from its all time high. - Over $2 trillion wiped from its market cap. - Lost the No. 1 spot to Apple. - Hit its lowest level since July 2025. - Headed for its 6th straight weekly drop, the longest since 2012. - CEO resigned, with an ongoing investigation.

#### The launch of GTA 6 will earn Rockstar Games hundreds of millions of dollars, but it could cost ordinary firms over $1 billion, because of people taking a sickie to play it

An analyst has calculated that around 1.5 million people intend to call in sick on the day of launch in the US, costing American businesses up to $1 billion in lost revenue. The figures are only for the US, despite the numbers having been calculated by Professor José García Montalvo at Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, so there’s no knowing what the worldwide figure might be. According to his calculations, as reported by the International Business Times, the USA will see a drop in productivity of around 2% on launch day, purely due to people taking time to play the game (no doubt some have also taken time off officially).
