Enterprise AI adoption is booming!

In '25, 76% of AI use cases were purchased by enterprises, rather than built internally (vs. 53% in '24). Enterprise AI software refers to artificial intelligence applications specifically designed for large-scale organizations to automate complex business processes, improve decision-making, and enhance productivity across departments like HR, finance, and supply chain. Unlike consumer AI (like a personal chatbot), enterprise AI is built with a focus on security, scalability, and integration with existing corporate systems like ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) or CRM (Customer Relationship Management) Source: Puru Saxena @saxena_puru

Watch Uranium

Almost 30% of Uranium is uncontracted, resulting in poor spot price performance. Utilities keep waiting for cheaper pounds that aren't coming. And every month they wait, the deficit grows. When they finally buy, spot won't walk higher. It'll gap. Source: Kasuha Research on X

Silver is actually cheap relative to the global currency fiat money supply.

At $90, everyone knows that silver is at nominal all-time highs. But relative to M2, it’s well below a historical peak. This suggests significant upside potential if the market catches up to full monetary expansion. ▪️ If silver matches its 2011 money-supply ratio, you’re looking at about $97 per oz. (we're almost here) ▪️ If silver matches the 1980s ratio, it’s about $531 per ounce. Source: Kasuha Research on X

GREENLAND fact check #1: Greenland is NOT part of the European Union, despite being an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, which is an EU member state.

Greenland has a unique history with the EU, being the only territory to ever leave it. Originally joining in 1973 as part of Denmark, Greenland’s population consistently opposed European integration. 1972 Referendum: 70% voted against joining the European Communities, but Greenland joined anyway as part of Denmark. 1982 Referendum: After gaining home rule in 1979, 52% voted to leave, driven by disputes over the Common Fisheries Policy, control of natural resources, and a sense that the EC ignored Greenland’s interests. Turnout was 74.9%. 1985 Withdrawal: Greenland formally left the EC on January 1, 1985, via the Greenland Treaty, becoming an Overseas Country and Territory (OCT) associated with the EU, maintaining some economic ties while regaining sovereignty over its fisheries.

The average stock market return of 10% is misleading

Most years aren’t average - they’re extreme. Big gains. Sharp losses. That’s how long-term returns are made. Source: Peter Mallouk @PeterMallouk
