Only in America: From toilet-cleaning immigrant to billionaire Jensen Huang used to clean toilets at Denny’s. He founded Nvidia $NVDA with two buddies at a booth in that same Denny’s 30 years ago. Nvidia is now the world's second most valuable company. Huang is worth over $100 billion. Only in America! America’s top 10 “rich list” is always in flux. Musk and Bezos top the US charts today. In Europe, it’s mostly old money and inherited wealth: the CEO of 170-year-old fashion house Louis Vuitton; the heir of L’Oréal, the son of a shipping tycoon. Growing up in Ireland, it felt like your “lot in life” was predetermined. Starting a business was discouraged. But in America, millions of people go from poor to rich by starting their own businesses. Jensen Huang sums up everything that’s great about America. The American dream is alive and well.

What most people missed is that this memecoin circus wasn’t an accident. It was engineered by regulators. They purposely created a twisted system where joke tokens flourished while real innovation froze. “Mememakers” can easily create and launch tokens. But entrepreneurs trying to build real products step in regulatory quicksand. Want to launch a dog token? No problem. Want to build actual financial infrastructure? Here’s your subpoena. SEC would hunt down and sue innovators who built something useful. We lived in a bizarro world where the only projects regulators allowed were cryptos that obviously had no underlying value. It’s as if trading GameStop meme stocks was fine but investing in Amazon or Apple was illegal. Picture a world where Jeff Bezos went to jail for launching Amazon’s online bookstore. That’s the twisted reality crypto builders have faced for four years. This was by design. Create a circus atmosphere, flood the market with joke coins, then point and say, “See? It’s all just gambling. Shut it down.” The results were predictable. Brian Armstrong, reports about 1 million new tokens are being created weekly. Most are worthless memecoins. The progression was swift—from anonymous creators to D-list celebrities, and the president himself. When the president of the United States launches a memecoin, you know we’ve hit peak absurdity. The casino will keep running, but the spotlight is shifting. Fast. Memecoins sucked up all the attention and money. As this mania fades, quality projects with real utility are about to take center stage. The next few years will reward investors with long-term thinking and a deep understanding of markets. It’s time to focus on what really matters.

In the 1990s, scientists studying the Gila monster discovered it can survive on one meal per month.  They created a synthetic version of this lizard’s spit and turned it into the most important drug of the 21st century: semaglutide. You likely know it as Ozempic or Wegovy. Semaglutide was originally invented as a diabetes treatment. But it’s morphed into a medical Swiss Army knife tackling every modern health nightmare. First, we discovered semaglutide melts fat off waistlines. When future historians write about 2024, they might mark it as the year humanity first gained control over obesity. In a slew of recent trials, doctors discovered semaglutide also: Treats Alzheimer's, staves off Arthritis, reduces heart attacks and strokes, suppresses addiction, and lowers the risk of developing kidney, pancreatic, ovarian, liver, and colorectal cancers. Semaglutide is proving to be a reset button for human health, helping people drink less alcohol and reduce drug addictions too. It's rewiring the brain’s reward system, helping people find less pleasure in harmful substances and behaviors. This “miracle in a syringe” will reshape entire societies. Imagine what America would look like if it were thinner and less diabetic. How might communities change if addiction became more treatable? All from a curious investigation into the saliva of a desert lizard!

The best-performing stock market of 2024 is… Argentina. The Global X MSCI Argentina ETF $ARGT is doubling the S&P 500’s performance. Argentina’s new president Javier Milei @JMilei is doing something radical. He's letting free markets work. Lex Fridman @lexfridman interviewed Milei recently. It’s worth a listen because Milei’s deregulatory agenda is the blueprint for Elon Musk’s @elonmusk “DOGE” aimed at cutting government waste and red tape. In 2020, the Argentine government decided to "help" renters with strict new rules. Landlords had to offer three-year contracts, and they couldn’t raise rent much even as inflation was rampaging. The results were predictable. Rents jumped 1,800% in four years. Since Milei scrapped these damaging regulations 12 months ago, the number of rentals in Buenos Aires has tripled while rent prices have tumbled 40%. Fridman’s interview with Milei was great for another reason: AI. Milei speaks Spanish. Lex speaks English. No problemo. AI tool ElevenLabs @elevenlabs acts as a hyper-realistic translator and made it sound like a fully English conversation. ElevenLabs isn't just breaking down language barriers. It's preserving human voices. With just a few minutes of voice recordings, ElevenLabs can produce highly realistic replicas of your voice. It’s like a time capsule for sound, which is a game changer for folks suffering from diseases like ALS. ElevenLabs allows them to keep speaking in their own voice through their computer, even after they physically can't. Clone your voice and keep it forever, just in case.

Phones are one hell of a drug. And if we don’t set ironclad rules about how we use them, they will ruin us. Here’s what I recommend to my readers: #1: Do not buy a smartphone for your child. The evidence is overwhelming. Giving your kid an iPhone is a very, very bad idea. If they need a phone, buy a flip phone that only calls and texts. You’ll be able to reach your kids, and their brains won’t be melted by Instagram. Yes, this will make you an unpopular parent. Sometimes you have to choose between popularity and your kid’s well-being. A few years from now every half-decent parent will do this. Let’s get ahead of the curve. No time to waste. #2: Lead by example. Don’t tell your kids to stay off Instagram when you scroll through Facebook. Show them—with your actions—to avoid this toxic stuff. When you are at home, don’t have your phone next to you unless you’re expecting an important work call. Put it in a special place so you won’t constantly check it. Put the phone down. You won’t regret it.

The worst lie ever told is that capitalism is bad for poor people. Truth is, it’s the best system in history for the less fortunate. Try getting a good-paying job in a socialist country (good luck). Capitalism also drives down prices to the point where things that were once luxuries are now affordable. When residential microwaves hit the market in 1955, they cost $1,295. Today, you can pick one up at Walmart for $55. You can get 24 microwaves today for the same price of one in 1955. Same deal with TVs, and it’s all thanks to capitalism. More freedom and less government makes every country better.

Q: Any other important insights for investors? A: I’ve been bullish on gold, and it’s amazingly gone up with both a strong dollar and real rates. But now with China looking up, it looks like gold is stalling out. This gold run has been driven by the Chinese confidence crisis. Entrepreneurs have been scared stiff by the threat of tariffs and the regulatory crackdown. Why build a new factory against such uncertainty? Instead, they kept their cash in the bank. Bank deposits in Hong Kong surged by over $200 billion in the past year. They also bought a ton of gold. With consumer confidence returning in China, I think money comes out of gold and into Chinese assets.

Learning curves are the 8th wonder of the world @Andercot And there's some hope. South Korea slashed the cost of constructing nuclear plants in half from 1971 to 2008. Why? They build fleets of reactors rather than one at a time. The more you build, the cheaper they get. Even seeing this in the UK and US EDF: welding on the second reactor at Hinkley Point C is being done four times faster than on the first one, FOR 30% less cost.

Q: Why should American investors pay attention to Chinese stocks? A: Because when China enters an industry, you can kiss profits goodbye. We saw this with solar panels, steel, and aluminum. Next, we’ll see it in AI, cars, and chips. With DeepSeek entering the fray, I think OpenAI is cooked. China plays what I call “the hunger games of capitalism.” It has many players, is brutally competitive, and leaves lots of dead bodies (metaphorically speaking) along the way.

Q:Historically, Chinese investors haven’t been huge buyers of stocks. What changes that? A: The Chinese are big gamblers. They’re momentum players. If you visit the casinos in Macau and black comes up 10 times in a row, everyone at the table will bet black. Whereas in the West, we’re more “reversion to the mean” investors. Chinese investors will pile in when prices start rising. And, ultimately, local cash—not foreign funds—will drive the China bull market. Consumers have also been given repeated “green lights” from Beijing that back a new equity investment culture in China.

By launching the largest-ever flying object (5,000 tons) into orbit... by catching the Starship rocket booster with 'chopsticks'/mechanical arms... and so many more examples...

Q: Why were Western investors caught off guard by tech innovations coming out of China, like DeepSeek? A: For years, our Beijing office would host at least one visitor from abroad every day. Then COVID hit. For three years, no visitor crossed our threshold. Foot traffic hasn’t picked up since restrictions eased. Most CEOs and investors missed how China leapfrogged the West in industry over the last five years because no one from the West bothered to visit. Reading Western media, you’d think China is a place of despondence and despair—that it’s permanently on the cusp of social disorder and revolution. In reality, China’s tech game is leveling up fast. It’s pulled ahead in 5G, even announcing a 6G satellite-to-Earth breakthrough at the beginning of January. It has a high-speed rail network… trains that zip through the country at 450 km/h… and is the biggest robot and auto producer in the world. Look at BYD’s new car. It’s a hybrid, and it’s so efficient it can drive from London to Rome on a single tank of gas. Five years ago, nobody wanted to own a BYD. Now, everyone does.

Q: Which sectors of the Chinese stock market are most attractive? A: Look at the recent gathering between President Xi and tech entrepreneurs. Of course, the big guys like Alibaba, Huawei, and ByteDance were there. But it was mostly leaders of hardware companies. President Xi and the rest of the politburo are engineers. They’re old-school communists. They believe if you don’t have grease and dirt under your nails at the end of the day, you’re not really working. They generally distain software companies, especially ones like DiDi Global—China’s Uber—which takes a tax on each transaction. That’s why I prefer to own hardware companies.

By “spinning” only 4 lbs. of uranium for much longer, they could make the same amount of nuclear fuel. This is known as underfeeding Enrichers then dump the leftover uranium onto the market. Over the past decade underfeeding made up 10% of annual supply This trend is reversing

Great to see @MattLoszak and the @AaloAtomics crew again When I last visited in October Aalo had just moved into their new 40,000 sq.ft factory. It was empty. I come back less than a year later to find a factory humming with activity and the “Aalo 0” test reactor. Moving fast!

The US government says 7.2 million homes and businesses lack broadband access. The $42.5 billion it plans to spend digging up roads and laying cable would be enough to buy a Starlink dish for each location and give them a three-year subscription.

Underfeeding After raw uranium is pulled out of the ground, its sent to enrichment facilities and converted into nuclear fuel. As uranium demand fell off a cliff, so too did enrichment orders. @quakes99

Agree. Cliché, but man this is a hated rally. Max pain for the bears is tech goes sideways but the rest of the market catches up and index keeps grinding higher Rotation already happening. Look at 1 month vs YTD sector performance @PauloMacro

Cameco also controls 20% of the uranium “conversion” market. The conversion market is a critical step in making nuclear fuel. It involves converting the yellow uranium powder into a gas, which is then enriched to produce fuel.

Russia controls 40% of the uranium enrichment market. Without getting into the weeds, it accounted for the vast majority of underfeeding. But due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, western utilities are pivoting away from Russian enrichment. @uraniuminsider

Cameco's fuel services (#uranium conversion and other businesses) jumped 14% Cameco currently runs one of the only operating North American converters

This was a disastrous unforced error, as my friend Alex Tabarrok @ATabarrok from Marginal Revolution explained recently. Instead of banning LOUD planes, they banned fast planes. Innovation killer. Instead of trying to solve the loudness problem, we just… stopped trying.
Banning supersonic flight in the 1970s was one of the greatest own-goals in policy history. This froze progress in flight… contributed to a brain drain out of aviation… and is central to the loss of American leadership in flight. It’s almost too late to fix. But only almost.

The #AI boom rolls on. Using Runway's AI software, CBS cut its editing time on The Late Show from five hours to five minutes. Good job @wolfejosh We're witnessing the birth of the AI app layer bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Any normal business could idle its factories during a slowdown. But enrichment machines can’t be shut down. They must keep spinning at full throttle Enrichers came up with a clever plan. Say it usually takes 5 lbs. of uranium to make a pound of nuclear fuel... @JekyllCapital

$CCJ is “leveraged” to the uranium price. That means when uranium prices move an inch, Cameco can move a mile. While the uranium price 9X’d… Cameco’s stock jumped 13X. @quakes99 @Sprott @uraniuminsider @AmirAdnani @MarinKatusa
