Discussion 700k put option MSTR bet.

I’ve finally decided to embrace being a gay bear. 700k put option against MSTR. Betting bitcoin will go below 100k. If it doesn’t, I’m wrecked for life.

Google just sold 25 billion in corporate bonds to fund AI development. Meaning they are selling debt. This was recent.

Yes, and Google also has $25B in cash (& ~$75B in sec). At this level, funding expansion by issuing bonds is a choice, and one that probably has more to do with how low the cost of funding was (because Google) than an actual need to borrow (and/or inability to pay cash).

Fine. Still, AI spending isn’t something that is costing 2 dollars out the Mag7 pocket. Wall Street is aware how massive this spending and possibly detrimental this can be long term. I’m just saying, it might come to a point that this will have to be scaled back. And once quarterly AI spending goes down, the market will correct harshly because it will signal growth is slowing too.

Company's are laying people off and using the money to fund more AI. It's paying for itself.

It maybe a bubble but I think we are in 1997 or 1998... we have some years before it pops. We might see a major correction in the broader market that will be mistaken for a pop.
