This is really, really cool.

From CNBC today:


There's nothing worse than credit card debt. Don't take that out of context.

Of our five grandchildren, one is now an independent adult. She is very, very frugal and manages her money well, but it must still be very challenging for her.

My wife and I want to ensure that our grandchildren do not get into credit card debt / trouble.

To that end, we will work with our grandchildren to pay off their entire credit card debt every six months. 

We also provide a monthly stipend for gasoline money for the two adult daughters who need dependable, personal transportation.

Interview Of The Day -- August 28, 2025

Locator: 48983AI.

Interview of the day: the 29-minute interview between "the Judge" and the CEO of Altimeter Capital, Brad Gerstner, wiki. 

  • the meme today: Nvidia is at huge risk. 99% of its revenue comes from two or three hyperscalers.
  • my response: the Willy Sutton question -- why did Willy Sutton rob banks?

Wow, wow, wow -- Brad Gerstner explained why Apple shouldn't buy Perplexity. Wow, wow, wow. It all has to do with the edge, which I just discussed earlier this week. And, again, it's all about the battery?

Again, it appears like Tim Cook is threading the needle.

Apple? Up almost $2.00 today.

Intel: received $5.7 billion in cash from the US government last night for 10% stake in the company. 

Trump says it was purely coincidental that the company also recorded $2 billion from SoftBank in the same week. If $5.7 billion represents 10% stake, then the company was valued at $57 billion? In fact, today, market cap of Intel is $106.19 billion What's going on? ChatGPT's reply here. ChatGPT's reply makes sense.

NVDA: market cap greater than 17 other semiconductor companies combined (doesn't include many of  the other "Mag 7" of course). 

NVDA: new analysis by Deutsche Bank indicated that as of late August 2025, Nvidia's market capitalization had surpassed the combined market value of the UK, France, and Germany's entire stock markets.

NVDA: market cap -- $4.35 trillion. P/E? Less than 60.

AVGO: oh, my goodness. AVGO up $8.75

AMD: up 0.62.

MU: up $4.53

ORCL: up $5.01.

IBM: up $0.17.

NVDA: does anyone really care?
