Bloom Energy will be going from $200M quarterly revenue in 2024 to $4.05B by the end of 2029.

That's a +1,600% in 5 years.

And a quote I loved from the CEO:

“We went from zero hyperscalers directly talking to us to pretty much every hyperscaler talking to us.”

📉 Analyst Says Market Will Crash 30% in 2027

🐝 In today's Weekly Buzz I dove into the arguments published in Fortune and Yahoo Finance by Capital Economics analyst James Reilly who calls the AI trade a “late-stage bubble” and is projecting a 30% drop in the S&P 500 from its highs by 2027.

💡 His arguments include:

- 📈 S&P 500 earnings growth concentrated almost entirely in tech and chips, now matching dot-com era peaks

- 💸 Combined free cash flow of the four largest AI hyperscalers projected to turn negative in 2027 due to AI CapEx

- 🏦 Big Tech bond issuance more than doubling year-over-year to fund the cash flow gap

- 🚀 A fresh wave of AI IPOs, which Reilly calls the clearest late-bubble signal (most notably Anthropic’s IPO, which he called an ‘IPO of doom’ and compared to Pets.com, whose IPO was seen as the beginning of the end for the dot-com bubble)

💥 Obviously calls for a crash are nothing new, but I thought the argument was worth covering, so wanted to open up a discussion thread to hear everyone's thoughts on Blossom!

💬 One quote I liked in this context from Peter Lynch: ""Far more money has been lost by investors preparing for corrections, or trying to anticipate corrections, than has been lost in corrections themselves." Take last weekend for example when everyone thought the market was going to crash Monday due to the open letter from Anthropic 🤣

💡 That said, I think the risks are real and the '30% drop' prediction is a good thought experiment for us all to make sure your portfolio matches your goals and risk tolerence... if your investing for the long-term, statistically you WILL experience a crash eventually, the test is whether you can ride it out without panic selling 👀

What Kind of Spender Are You?

I was listening to episode 426 of the Rational Reminder podcast and they started talking about something I really hadn’t thought much about before. We spend so much time figuring out what kind of investor we are. What’s my risk tolerance? How much risk should I take? How much do I need to save? But what about the other side of it — what kind of spender are you?

At some point the money we’re saving and investing is actually supposed to be spent. They talked about three types of spenders: Tightwads → Unconflicted Consumers → Spendthrifts. There’s actually a test for this, so of course I had to take it. I scored 15 — Unconflicted Consumer.

What am I actually saving all this money for? For me, I don’t think it’s material things anymore. When I was younger maybe it was. I’ve talked before about buying a motorcycle in my early 20s when I finally had a decent job and some money. At this point in my life, I think it’s experiences.

My wife and I are celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary and we’re going away together for 10 days. We’re spending more on this trip than we normally would, and I’m completely okay with that. We’ve both worked hard, we’re busy raising our kids, and life seems to move faster every year. Ten days where we can get away together, slow things down and celebrate 15 years of marriage means something to me. That’s something I’m willing to spend money on.

Someone else might look at what we’re spending and think that’s crazy. But maybe they’ve dreamed about owning a Mustang for 30 years and that’s what they want to spend their money on. I’d probably look at the Mustang and think… nope. But that’s the point. What do YOU want to spend your money on?

I think we spend so much time learning how to save and invest that we don’t really think about what happens when it’s finally time to spend it. If you’re a natural saver or a “tightwad,” after 30 or 40 years of telling yourself NOT to spend money, can you suddenly flip that switch in retirement?

Apparently I’m an Unconflicted Consumer, so maybe I’ve got a fighting chance.

If you want to try the University of Michigan test, here it is:
https://umich.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_55xxAQrYK0WRlY2

Take it and post your score. I’m curious where everyone falls.

Are You Sabotaging Your Own Returns? 😏

You could be … and not even realize it.

After nearly 22 years as a DIY investor (I am OLD), I’ve noticed we spend WAY too much time worrying about things we CAN’T control.

Which stock will outperform ($NVDA) . Which sector will take off next ($XLE) . What the market is going to do tomorrow ($VFV/$VOO ). What our return will be….

Meanwhile, we sometimes overlook the things we actually CAN control.

And some of these mistakes can get REALLY expensive over time. Expensive enough that they cost you your retirement timeline!

I see them constantly on Blossom and Youtube. One of them in particular makes me want to SCREAAAM “NOOOOO… THAT’S NOT HOW THIS WORKS!!!!!!”

So I put together a video breaking down 5 common investing mistakes that could be quietly hurting your returns …… and what you CAN actually do about each one of them. Eliminating one of them could increase your returns by 71% over 30 years 😏

After all, investing isn't about making the perfect decision every time. Usually, it's just about making FEWER bad ones.

TFSA Supercycle Explained

I’ve asked Grok to explain the TFSA super cycle that’s becoming a topic that’s becoming increasingly more popular.

NOTE: This is the exact reason why I didn’t destroy my TFSA when I was All In on yieldmax. I basically removed all the distributions received to service credit card debt. Preserving the contribution room. Instead of allowing it to erode and permanently losing the room when I eventually sold out and went to better assets.

That’s the tactic:

Take every distribution out of the TFSA so next January 1 that exact dollar amount is added back as extra contribution room.

It is not a special CRA rule for dividends. Any withdrawal works the same way.

People isolate distributions because they want to keep the original contributed capital inside while using the income stream to manufacture next year’s room.

What actually happens

Assume the TFSA is already full.
• January 1: you get the new annual limit ($7,000 in 2026) plus any unused room plus last year’s withdrawals.

• You contribute and buy CDAY / SDAY / QDAY (or whatever pays).
• Distributions hit the TFSA cash balance during the year. Those payments are not contributions and they do not use room.

• You withdraw them.

That is a withdrawal. Room does not come back until the next calendar year.

• January 1: CRA adds last year’s withdrawals to your room. You can now put in the regular $7,000 plus every dollar you pulled out.

If you left the distributions inside and dripped them, the TFSA would be larger, but you would get no extra contribution room.

Market value and reinvested income never create room. Only withdrawals do.

So the cycle is:

contribute → collect income → withdraw income → next year the withdrawn income becomes new room for fresh after-tax dollars → repeat.

Over time the contribution base (dollars you were allowed to put in) grows faster than if you never withdrew. The current TFSA market value grows slower, because cash left the shelter.

What it does and does not do

It does not create free room out of thin air. You only get next year what you took out this year.

It does convert tax-free income into extra capacity to park new money tax-free.

That only works if you actually have new money (paycheque, non-reg sale, margin proceeds, the withdrawn cash sitting in a taxable account) ready to go in on January 1. If you spend the distributions and have nothing to recontribute, you manufactured room you never fill.

Same-year recontribution of those withdrawals uses current-year room. If the account is already maxed, that is an over-contribution.

The trade-off

Leave distributions in: bigger tax-free pile, same contribution room next year.

Withdraw them: smaller tax-free pile today, larger contribution room next year so more new capital can enter the shelter.

The “super” version only pays off if:

1 You will fill the extra room every January, and
2 You value maximizing dollars inside the TFSA over maximizing this year’s TFSA NAV, and
3 The cash sitting outside for a few months is not a problem (or you spend it and replace it with new savings).

That is the whole cycle. Withdraw the distributions, wait for January 1, refill with a larger number.

Lessons from the letters of Warren Buffett

I have a deep love and respect for Warren Buffett, who I regard as many others also do, as the greatest investor of all time. (His retirement really hit hard)

What always fascinated me was his confidence and amazing wisdom as he talked about how he invests and how others should, see for yourself two of my favorite mic-drop responses:

In 1996 a shareholder asked him why at times the company only held 3 stocks.

Buffett responded with an answer about how he invests that I don’t think any other investor can get away with: “we think diversification is, as practiced generally, makes very little sense for anyone that knows what they’re doing.” Then he added: "Diversification is protection against ignorance."

In the 1993 shareholder letter he said this about the traditional retail investor, "By
periodically investing in an index fund, for example, the know-nothing investor can actually out-perform most investment
professionals. Paradoxically, when "dumb" money acknowledges its limitations, it ceases to be dumb."

Concentration only makes sense if you’re a know-something investor who knows what they’re doing and if you don’t index funds are the smart choice.

I am reading all his letters again these days and there are so many great lessons to cover like how sustainable ROE growth has strong long-term correlation with share price gains, how companies where little capital is required to run can outperform and how severe business change and exceptional returns don’t mix.

I can write many posts unpacking just these 3 headlines (all from 1 letter 1987 BTW) and many more from other letters, with examples he gave, modern time commentary and comparisons from realities today.

And I’m thinking about a new series: “Unpacking lessons of the Buffett Shareholder letters” Would you guys be interested in following along that kind of thing ?read more

Why I’m Happy Renting Right Now

My wife and I rent right now, and I'm very happy with that decision currently. We get flexibility, we don't have to worry about replacing a roof or furnace, and we can move when life changes without selling a house first.

Owning can be awesome when you want to stay put and make a place your own. I definitely want that eventually. But I don't see renting as throwing money away while we wait. We're paying for a place to live and for the flexibility that fits our life right now.

For us, renting works financially because we pair that flexibility with discipline. If every dollar not going to a down payment or repair bill just gets spent somewhere else, you lose one of renting's advantages. We still need to save and invest on purpose.

Has renting or owning given you more freedom at this stage of your life?

McDonald's is the Place !

Did you notice $MCD ’s performance today? Down -5.XX%.

Chris Kempczinski, McDonald’s CEO, just told us this morning:

“[…] customer expectations are once again shifting and industry dynamics will remain challenging.”

That’s one way of saying consumers can’t afford a Big Mac anymore. 😆🤣

He also said:

“The industry growth algorithm is changing. We expect industry traffic growth in our wholly owned markets will be flat while inflation remains elevated.”

A little bit more straightforward on this one. Thank you, Mr. Kempczinski. 👍

He was also interviewed today, outside of their annual investor meeting, and said:

“We need to stop talking about this being a difficult environment, and just say: that is the environment. Because as we look forward, we are not expecting things to change […] we do think inflation is gonna be with us for, unfortunately, I think, many more years at an elevated level…”

Well, that couldn’t be much clearer: he doesn’t think inflation is going anywhere anytime soon.

Do you remember KTS #1? And the greatest (self-proclaimed 😂) post in the history of Blossom: “They Are Telling Us – So What Are You Waiting For?” 😂

They have one clear thing in common:

INFLATION.

Those who took the TIME to read and understand these two posts from March 2024 are now most likely prepared for high and sticky inflation.

Inflation has been here all along. But now, companies are giving up on the idea that it’s temporary.
You’re already feeling it. Is your portfolio prepared for it?

I always give you my best! 🏆

$NFLX | Why Netflix Is Back on My Watchlist

$NFLX - Netflix’s share price has come under pressure, but its underlying business continues to grow. I find the current levels quite attractive and have sold some cash secured puts to collect some good premium as I wait. I can either keep my premium or buy Netflix at a price I like.

Here’s the bullish case:

1. Revenue is still growing.
Q2 2026 revenue reached $12.6 billion, up 13% year over year.

2. Profitability remains strong.
Netflix delivered a 33.4% operating margin in Q2, demonstrating its ability to turn subscription revenue into operating profits.

3. Advertising is another growth opportunity.
Netflix expects advertising revenue to roughly double in 2026, creating another income stream alongside subscriptions.

4. Valuation has become more interesting.
At its September 25 closing price of approximately $71.14, NFLX traded around 22× trailing earnings and 27× trailing free cash flow.

5. Management continues returning capital.
Netflix repurchased approximately $4.7 billion of stock during Q2.

The risks: Rising content costs, intense streaming competition, slowing engagement and the possibility that future growth is already reflected in the valuation.

Yahoooo! Thanks thanks thanks!

A new milestone on @blossom for me. Thank you 7000 times for 7000 followers!! 🚀

I really appreciate everyone who follows along and reads my posts or distribution/dividend announcements since 3 years now

If only 1 out of every 7 of you decided to follow me on my new YouTube channel, I’d honestly be so happy. 😊

It took me a while to finally decide to start this channel. My wife really doesn’t want me showing my real face on the internet, and I completely respect that because we both want to protect our privacy. So I decided to create an avatar that looks a lot like me without being exactly me… although he definitely dresses like me! 😂

That also means I have to create my characters, write my scripts, generate voices and video sequences with AI, and then edit everything together. It takes a LOT more time — and can sometimes be VERY frustrating 🤣 — compared with simply sitting in front of a laptop, turning on a camera and talking.

But along the way, I discovered something I really enjoy. It allows me to develop my creative, cinematic and humorous side, while talking about investing and trying to share useful information without making finance boring.

Hopefully, one day the channel can generate a few dollars — even if it’s just enough to cover the cost of the AI tools I currently pay for out of my own pocket to create these videos.

I may be retired, but somehow I’ve managed to give myself a new unpaid job! 😂 It takes a lot of time and some money… but while I’m making videos, at least I’m not cleaning the house. Watch Episode 14 about Procter & Gamble and you’ll understand. 🤣

More seriously, I’d genuinely love to hear your feedback and comments about the channel. My goal is to keep entertaining you while sharing information about investing, new investment products, distributions and dividends.

And if you enjoy what I’m creating, subscribing to the channel would probably be the nicest little way you could support what I’m building. ❤️

More ETFs does not mean more diversification

Imagine your portfolio contains:

* VOO – S&P 500
* VTI – Total US Stock Market
* QQQ – Nasdaq-100

You own three different ETFs, but many of their largest holdings overlap.

Companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia can appear across all three funds.

This means you might be investing in the same companies multiple times without realizing it.

Diversification isn’t about how many tickers you own. It’s about how your money is actually distributed.

Beginner tip: Before adding another ETF, compare its top 10 holdings with the funds you already own.

Sometimes adding another ETF increases your concentration rather than reducing it.

From $40k in Debt and a Hospital Bed to Freedom

In my 20s, I spent 5 years pumped full of prednisone and methotrexate to fight off a rare disease, falling over $40,000 in debt, and even had to get a total hip replacement due to the prednisone destroying the bone in my left hip.

Today, I am completely financially free, in the best shape of my life, and I get to spend every day with Soniya, who never left my side, and our three kids.

If you are going through a dark time right now, please remember that it gets better. The suffering eventually ends. You just need to outlast it, and then slowly build yourself up. If I could overcome massive debt and a body trying to kill me, you can achieve your dreams too.

🚀 ESPP: Boost Your Portfolio! 📈

Ever wondered how employees can buy their company’s stock for less than market value? 👀

💰 HOW IT WORKS
Your employer deducts money from your paycheck → that money is used to purchase company shares → you may receive a discount or employer contribution/match.

🔥 EXAMPLE: 25% MATCH
You contribute: $1,000
🏢 Employer adds 25%: +$250
📈 Total invested: $1,250

That’s an immediate $250 employer contribution before considering any stock-price movement.

🇨🇦 CANADA — TAX
• ESPP benefits can be treated as employment income depending on the plan structure
• CRA generally looks at the difference between the shares’ fair market value and what you paid when determining a taxable benefit for qualifying arrangements
• When you sell, a further increase/decrease can generally create a capital gain/loss

🇺🇸 USA — TAX
• U.S. ESPPs have specific tax rules
• Your tax treatment can depend on when you sell the shares
• A qualifying sale can involve both ordinary income + capital gain, while other sales can have different treatment

⚠️ IMPORTANT: ESPP rules vary by employer and plan. Always check your plan documents and tax situation.

🤔 ARE YOU USING AN ESPP?

💵 How much do you contribute?
🏢 Does your employer offer a discount or match?
🔥 Would a 25% match make you participate?

💬 Which company would you love to work for because of its ESPP? 👀📈

Good afternoon from the TTC

Rise & Grind ☀️ Markets banked a third straight winning week: Dow +0.3%, S&P 500 +1.2%, Nasdaq +2.0% even as the 10-year Treasury yield ripped to 5.18%, the highest since 2007. Meta was the story of the week, popping 11% in a single session on its Muse AI agent launch and touching a fresh 52-week high near $780. Oil gave the bulls room to breathe WTI down 2.33% to $92.41, Brent off 2.14% to $104.32 but that relief may not survive the weekend: reports say the White House just rejected Iran's 7-day ceasefire offer. North of the border, the TSX closed at 35,800.89 as tech ripped +9% on the week even while mining got crushed. Up next: Micron reports Wednesday with the Street looking for ~$31.56 EPS on revenue pushing toward $50B, and Friday's jobs report is expected to show payrolls cooling to just 100K from 162K. If Iran headlines send oil back toward $95+ Monday morning, that's basically the whole week's WTI drop erased in one session how much of Friday's rally do you think survives the open?

Happy Hunting!🫡

Congratulations...and Welcome To The Party!

If you DCA'd during the $BTC bear market and ignored the negative comments, enjoy the next few years. To my fellow $MSTE , $BDAY, and $ISBG holders: expect some 20%+ drawdowns, but the overall trend is up and to the right and new all time highs!

To the haters: please save your comments. I heard your criticisms for a year straight and still bought over $1M in BTC ETFs. If I listened to you, I would be an unsuccessful investor. Instead, I followed the data, stuck to my thesis, and now I am up hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it's JUST GETTING STARTED.

So congratulations to everyone who held strong, enjoy the next few years, and Welcome to the $BTC bull market!

Long-term investing goals

📊 Long-Term Investing: The Power of Thorough Analysis

When it comes to long-term investing, understanding the fundamentals of a stock is crucial. It’s not just about jumping on trends; it’s about making informed decisions based on solid data. This chart breaks down the essential financial statements—Balance Sheet, Income Statement, and Cash Flow Statement—that every investor should analyze before committing to a stock.

🔍 Balance Sheet: This tells you about the company’s financial health, specifically its assets, liabilities, and equity. A healthy balance sheet is a sign of stability and resilience.

💸 Income Statement: This shows the company’s profitability by detailing revenue, expenses, and profits. A strong income statement indicates a company that’s generating profits, a key factor for long-term growth.

💰 Cash Flow Statement: This reveals how the company manages its cash, from operations to investments and financing. Positive cash flow is essential for sustaining operations and fueling future growth.

By mastering these fundamentals, you can make smarter investment choices that stand the test of time. Remember, successful long-term investing isn’t about timing the market; it’s about time in the market, supported by thorough analysis.

🍧Last two weeks we’ve been saying to buy the dip. That trade played out perfectly as Nasdaq broke out of consolidation.
But there’s a problem brewing. Outside of tech, few stocks are participating in the rally, much less achieving new highs.
The 10-year interest rate continues to push above 5%, putting strain on overall stock market valuations.
Can the bull market persist under these circumstances? We answer that question inside…👇

I learned in 2022/2023 that a lack of consistency was destroying my portfolio. I became complacent and stopped investing all together for a couple years, which ultimately diminished my total portfolio as I was not DCA’ing in to my long positions. Consistently catching red days and movement up is how you win. If you don’t participate in the market, you don’t get to reap the benefits and you also lose focus on trying to get better everyday. This goes with anything in life. You HAVE to be consistent.

2. Keeping Conviction 🤞🏾

It’s easy to see your stock go down 20% and think it’s over. That isn’t how life or the stock market works. Healthy pullbacks, market sentiment, and geopolitical conditions are all part of the game. I sold some amazing companies like $PLTR
$ATZ and $TSLA many years ago and look at where they are now. If a companies vision, financials, and performance have not changed, it is an indicator to possibly double down instead of being scared.

3. Paying Myself First ✅

This is truly the reason why my portfolio has reached this level. My money goes to my investments first. My investments have been my biggest bill for the last 3 years. Simultaneously, the markets have been extremely generous, pushing my portfolio to almost 100% in total gains. If you pay yourself first, you prevent yourself from overspending or even possibly going in to debt to live your daily life.

Moving forward my top positions that I suspect will push me even higher are $AMD $SOFI $ZNQ and $AMZN. I don’t plan on selling any of these until 2028 at the minimum. read more

Green Day!🟢👍

Have you ever heard of a music group called “Green Day”?

I actually didn’t like their music too much when their songs were first being released. Even though they were a very popular group, I thought they were too punk for my taste!😂

But over the last few years I’ve come to appreciate their music more, probably because of Spotify, and the ease of streaming music. Green Day actually has quite a few hit songs, and I like quite a few of them. I guess you could say that I’m a “Green Day” fan now. 🟢🪭

Some of their more popular songs, which I think are pretty good, are Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Good Riddance (Time of Your Life), and When I Come Around.

One song that I’ve discovered recently, that I quite enjoy, is called 21 Guns. I think it was a moderate hit when it was released, but I don’t think I ever heard this song until recently.

Anyways, it’s a pretty nice song that you might want to have a listen to, when you have a chance. Pretty catchy tune. Here is a link to a live version of the song on YouTube.

On another note, my portfolio also had a nice “Green Day” today!🟢😂😂

Daily gain of +$230,568!👍

Quite a few of my Bitcoin related investments ($MSTR, $FBTC, $IBIT, $FBTC) and tech related names ($NVDA, $SMH, $META, $AMD, $VGT, $QQQM) did very well today!

How did your portfolio do today? 🤷‍♂️

Did you have a nice “Green Day” 🟢 as well?😂😂😂

Twenty-five And Invested

Rewarding yourself?

Iv sprinkled fun built into my routines. I spen about $100 on video games per month. My wife about the same on her fun. We both go out for dinner once a week. We call it Fat Fridays. My wife is from vietnam, but she has low key become addicted to Wopper Wendsdays as well.

Beyond this, We dont tie down our net worth milestones to our rewards. I think we should though. I was listening to the @karyungtom @moementumfinance podcast and the idea of 1% every $100,00 actually sounds kinda nice.

This would force us to spend. My wife and I couod both benefit from this. I might not be a very well informed investor but my wife and I budget like no other.
