GAME CHANGER ? APPLE QUIETLY ADDS STARLINK TO IPHONES IN iOS 18.3
Apple just opened iPhone doors to Starlink's satellite network, giving users an alternative to their Globalstar service for off-grid communication. The key difference? No more pointing your phone at the sky - Starlink works right from your pocket. T-Mobile to beta testers: "You can now stay connected with texting via satellite from virtually anywhere" While it's text-only for now, SpaceX and T-Mobile plan to add voice calls and data in the future. The race for space-based cellular just got interesting. Source: Bloomberg thru Mario Nawfal on X

Is it DeepSeek or $USDJPY?
… a reminder that Tech’s relative performance peaked all the way back in July when Yen first strengthened. USDJPY < 155 today is important - perhaps more so than the unknowable impact of China AI Model. @StrategasRP
Why did $META and $AAPL stocks go up yesterday?
DeepSeek is open source which means everyone can see exactly how it was done. The coding etc. tech companies can thus study AI now and get a much cheaper price.
DeepSeek V3 ‘bullish’ for Nvidia, would buy on weakness, says Cantor Fitzgerald - Would you agree???
DeepSeek’s V3 large language model is “actually very bullish” for Nvidia (NVDA) and compute, despite “great angst” around the impact for compute demand and fears of peak spending on GPUs, Cantor Fitzgerald tells investors. The firm says DeepSeek’s advances mean artificial general intelligence is closer, and that work will continue on pre-training, post-training, and time-based inference/reasoning, and future investments in large-scale clusters will only accelerate, all of which is bullish for AI. The firm would buy shares of Nvidia on any potential weakness. Cantor has an Overweight rating and $200 price target on the shares. Source: Markets Insider
