- Bears get liquidated, stock goes to Pluto.
Bear case
The 'NGMI' scenario where the physics break down and the capital burns. 📉
- Hormuz stays closed indefinitely, pushing oil past $150 and structurally cooking retail logistics margins.
- Enterprise AI pilots continue their 95% failure rate, meaning nobody actually pays for the inference capacity AWS just spent $200B building.
- Nvidia retaliates by slashing GPU prices, completely destroying the ROICreturn on invested capitalReturn on invested capital (ROIC) measures how efficiently a business generates after-tax operating profit from the capital invested in its operations.View full glossary entry math on Trainium.
- The FCC rug pulls Project Kuiper's licenses. The stock gets re-rated as a bloated, low-margin boomer retailer.
