Microsoft Has Everything and Is Still Losing Ground
Microsoft is down 31% in two years and its own CEO sounds like he's waving the white flag on AI. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley break down why the Mag Seven is getting smoked — Netflix down 46%, Salesforce down 60%, Adobe down 70% — while 1998 relics like Nokia, Intel, and SanDisk are surging on chip demand. South Korea's ETF is up 128% year to date as Pan-Asian nations quietly build out chip infrastructure without the US. The US dollar is strengthening on a technical double bottom, which historically pulls equities and gold lower. Europe can't govern itself — Germany's economy is stumbling, France can't pass a budget, and the UK just ousted its PM. Summer should be quiet until earnings season hits mid-July.
