The definition of human greed

POV: You're a disciplined trader waiting for your setup during high volatility.

The European Union is at it again and, as usual, taking direct aim at GREAT American Companies! After having fined Apple, for no reason at all, 15 Billion Dollars, Meta, 3 Billion Dollars, Amazon 2.5 Billion Dollars, and many others, we have just been informed that Google, a truly advanced and amazing group, has been fined yet another 1 Billion Dollars, without explanation. This brings the Google total to over 18 Billion Dollars! This illegal and highly discriminatory practice started at these high levels during the first year of the Sleepy Joe Biden Administration, but it’s not going to continue during the Trump Administration. The United States of America is not a “PIGGYBANK” for Europe, nor will we allow it to be! Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that we will immediately initiate a 301 Investigation into the practice of “ROBBING” American Companies and, in turn, the American Taxpayer. The European Union will pay a very big price for this illegal and highly unethical conduct, which I have consistently warned them about. The penalties will be entirely reversed and, we anticipate, a substantial TARIFF to be placed on them at the earliest possible moment. Stay tuned! President DONALD J. TRUMP

President Xi, at our recent meeting in Beijing, China, told me that he would not, under any circumstances, give or sell Weapons to the Islamic Republic of Iran — And that statement included Chinese Companies. Considering our relationship, I take him at his word and, besides, l am doing him very big favors, also. Likewise, President Putin, despite the horrible War going on in Ukraine (The relationship remains, as it does with President Zelenskyy), told me that he would not sell Weapons to Iran. He understands that I do not sell Weapons to Ukraine, but to NATO Countries. They pay full price, and how those Weapons are distributed, I have no idea. Therefore, two major Countries that people speak of often in terms of Iran are, in my opinion, not participating. If they did, it would be very bad for them — Certainly not in their best interests. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

We got plenty of that hot stuff for Iran 🎶🎧

🚨 THE U.S. IS GETTING TRAPPED IN A DEBT SPIRAL.

America's debt has become so large that every future fight against inflation could make the problem even worse.

Since 2000:

• Debt held by the public has exploded from $3.4 trillion to over $30 trillion.

• Debt has climbed from 34% to nearly 100% of GDP.

• Interest costs have more than quadrupled and are projected to keep rising for the next decade.

Here's where the cycle begins.

The Fed raises interest rates to fight inflation.

Higher rates push government interest costs even higher.

Higher interest costs lead to larger deficits.

Larger deficits require even more borrowing.

And more borrowing makes the next inflation fight even harder.

The Fed proved it can still raise rates.

But with debt nearing 100% of GDP and interest costs rising faster than the economy, every future rate hike comes with a much bigger price tag.

The biggest risk is no longer inflation alone but the rising debt, which could push the US economy into a crisis.

🚨 PRIVATE CREDIT’S LIQUIDITY PROBLEM IS SPREADING:

Investor withdrawals from private credit funds surged in Q2 2026, forcing some of the industry's largest managers to restrict redemptions for the first time.

Blackstone's $45 billion BCRED fund received redemption requests equal to ~10% of assets in Q2, forcing it to cap withdrawals at its 5% quarterly limit for the first time.

The pressure extends well beyond Blackstone. Apollo and Cliffwater each saw redemption requests reach roughly 17% of fund assets, while HPS and Monroe also experienced a sharp surge in withdrawal demand.

The pressure comes as investors grow concerned about potential losses on loans to highly indebted technology companies, raising questions about whether private credit funds can meet withdrawals while holding illiquid assets.

While redemption requests have started to slow, the damage to investor confidence is visible: Blackstone’s new equity fundraising for BCRED fund fell ~70% year-over-year in Q2.

Private credit was built on the promise of higher yields and stable returns, now investors are testing how liquid those assets really are.

🇮🇷🇮🇱🇺🇸⚡️US airlift to Middle East is back as Iran tensions rise again.

Dozens of USAF cargo flights moved from Europe bases to the region today.

US State Dept warns Americans in the Middle East: stay alert. Flights delayed, airspace shut, travel chaos. Some airlines hold off restarting routes; others cancel them completely.

Red light therapy.

🔴Alphabet’s buyback engine is GONE:

Alphabet has not repurchased any shares since Q4 2025, going nearly 2 quarters without buybacks as it directs cash toward AI CapEx instead.

This comes on top of Alphabet posting its first-ever negative quarterly free cash flow of -$5.9 billion in Q2 2026, as capital expenditures surged to $44.9 billion for the quarter.

To help fund the AI buildout, Alphabet has also increasingly turned to debt markets, raising more than $85 billion of debt over the past year and bringing its total debt balance above $100 billion.

Together, suspended buybacks, negative free cash flow, and rising debt issuance mark a major shift for a company long viewed as one of Big Tech’s most reliable cash generators.

The AI race is creating a new question for investors: how much spending is too much?
