Episode notes
Pokemon Cards Outperformed Stocks
- Pokemon trading cards, held mint condition since 2004, returned about 3,821%, vastly beating the S&P 500.
- The hosts cite individual sales like a Pikachu card fetching $5.3 million to illustrate the craze.
Oracle Is The AI Infrastructure King
- Oracle booked roughly $300 billion in cloud/AI contracts over three months and investors reacted like it proved durable AI demand.
- The contracts are multi-year bookings, not immediate cash, so the headline surge reflects future expectations more than instant revenue.
Servers Became The Scarce AI Resource
- Oracle sold huge server capacity to AI companies, positioning itself as a shovel-seller in the AI gold rush.
- Those deals power models for OpenAI, Meta and X.A.I., turning boring servers into strategic scarcity.
