The silence in the room is not empty; it is heavy with the shape of your absence. I find myself looking at the door, half-expecting the air to shift, but the clock only counts the distance between us. You are the hidden root of my thoughts, the quiet ache in every breath I take when the world grows still. $GOOGL.US $BNB
BREAKING: ARM Holdings (ARM) is entering the AI chip market, planning to sell its own microprocessors for data centers, with Meta as an early customer.
This move challenges Nvidia's current dominance in AI hardware, a sector where Nvidia's stock has soared.
In 2020, Nvidia announced an ambitious $40 billion deal to acquire Arm from SoftBank. The acquisition sparked immediate outrage and resistance across the semiconductor industry.
Tech giants (including Google, Microsoft, and Qualcomm) argued that an Nvidia-owned Arm would ruin Arm's neutral, open-licensing business model.
In February 2022 due to a massive regulatory pressure from the US FTC, the UK’s CMA, and European regulators led Nvidia and SoftBank to terminate the deal. SoftBank subsequently took Arm public via an IPO in late 2023.
Nvidia’s failed attempt to buy Arm has pivoted into a classic silicon-industry plot twist.
Arm, historically known for licensing chip designs rather than manufacturing them, is now officially manufacturing and selling its own physical AI chips.
ARM's CEO, Rene Haas, stated their entry was prompted by Meta, highlighting an underserved market lacking alternatives. $ARM $ARMB $ARM.US
BREAKING: JPMorgan Chase bought 7.36 million Dell Technologies (DELL) shares during Q2, worth more than $3 BILLION.

The iShares Biotechnology ETF (IBB) is one of the largest and most well-established exchange-traded funds focused on the U.S. biotechnology sector.
The ETF seeks to track an index that includes U.S.-listed equities in the biotechnology sector.
IBB currently has 247 holdings and about $10.6 billion in net assets. The top 10 holdings account for 47.01% of the fund’s net assets.
Unlike equal-weighted biotech funds (such as XBI), IBB tilts heavily toward profitable, revenue-generating large-cap companies. This generally makes IBB less volatile than small-cap-heavy alternatives.
SpaceX has secured over $8.1 billion in U.S. Pentagon contracts so far this year.
A large portion of these awards is tied to the U.S. military's next-generation Golden Dome missile defense initiative and space-based sensing systems.
Here are the major Pentagon contracts awarded to SpaceX:
• $4.16 Billion: This contract is awarded to develop and build the Space-Based Airborne Moving Target Indicator (ABMTI) satellite network for tracking airborne combat and radar threats.
• $2.29 Billion: A $2.29 billion contract is awarded for the Space Data Network Backbone, establishing a secure satellite communications network linking missile-warning sensors directly with missile interceptors.
• $1.60 Billion: This $1.60 billion contract has been given under U.S. Space Force task order (under Phase 3 Lane 1) for 18 Falcon 9 rocket launches carrying national security and threat-tracking payloads through 2027. $SPCX $SPCX.US $SPCXB
BREAKING: SpaceX and AST SpaceMobile have both expressed interest in acquiring or leasing an 800 MHz spectrum portfolio valued at approximately $6 billion, according to reports from Bloomberg.
The licenses are controlled by private equity firm Grain Management LLC.
The portfolio consists of 800 MHz low-band licenses (specifically 817–824 MHz uplink and 862–869 MHz downlink) covering 3,224 U.S. counties.
Low-band airwaves travel long distances and easily penetrate structures, making them prime real estate for direct-to-cell (satellite-to-phone) connectivity.
The 800 MHz-band licenses became available after Grain completed a spectrum swap this month with T-Mobile US Inc.
The terms of that transaction, approved by the Federal Communications Commission, call for Grain to seek bids to develop the spectrum, which has been underutilized, according to the commission’s order.
The commission has said it wants the bidding done by November 5. $SPCX $SPCXB $SPCX.US

BREAKING: Anthropic could publicly file IPO paperwork as soon as this month.
According to Bloomberg, the AI startup is angling to match or surpass SpaceX's record-setting $75 billion June IPO.
Anthropic is preparing to publicly file paperwork for its initial public offering (IPO) as early as the end of the month.
Anthropic saw revenue of $11.5 billion in its latest quarter, up 14x versus the same quarter last year.
The AI startup raised $65 billion at a valuation of $965 billion during its May funding round. In March, OpenAI announced it raised $122 billion at an $852 billion valuation.
Anthropic was once seen as an also-ran next to OpenAI. But the company's Claude Code AI coding agent turned Anthropic into an enterprise juggernaut. $ANTHROPIC
$NKE.US BREAKING: Nike (NKE) stock has collapsed to its lowest level since September 2014, now down over 78% from its all-time high reached in November 2021.
The stock has officially erased more than $200 billion in market capitalization since its record high.
BREAKING: Nvidia (NVDA) has revised its plans to support a proposed OpenAI data center project in Ohio and is now expected to initially guarantee less than $120 billion, down from the $250 billion previously discussed, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.
The Journal said Nvidia and OpenAI are nearing an agreement, with the chipmaker expected to provide a financial backstop only for the first phase of the project. A deal could be signed as early as this weekend, according to the report.
OpenAI is still discussing a binding lease for the full 10-gigawatt project in Ohio, WSJ said. The site is being developed by SB Energy, a subsidiary of SoftBank, and would be the largest data center project announced to date if completed.
This came after Nvidia on Monday partnered with six major financial institutions to launch compute financing platforms aimed at raising over $500 billion in third-party capital for AI infrastructure.
The project would help OpenAI move toward owning AI infrastructure, although its ability to fund large-scale commitments remains under scrutiny because the company is unprofitable despite a valuation of $852 billion.
