Seatbelt on. Everyone will argue about Greenland tariffs and Fed independence this week. Important, yes. But the picture you’re looking at is the bigger tell. OpenAI CFO’s blog just did something rare: it put a hard spotlight on the real engine of the AI boom. Electricity. Compute. The meter. Strip away the hype and you see the uncomfortable shape of the business: an “AI company” that behaves like a power-hungry utility with a software logo on top. Training is a furnace you can’t turn off. Inference can get cheaper per token while the total bill still goes up, because usage explodes. Cheaper unit price, bigger volume, higher total cost. That’s how margin dreams die quietly. And that’s why the monetization debate is back with teeth. Ads, take-rate, enterprise agents paid on outcomes, maybe. But none of that is proven at scale yet. Until it is, the market has to price a simple risk: a compute burn rate chasing a revenue model that’s still being invented. Now stack the macro on top. Greenland tariffs and the US–EU trade fight are a risk premium machine. Policy uncertainty taxes multiples. Then the Fed “The Lisa Cook case “ adds another layer of noise: legal drama and independence anxiety make the referee look pressured, and markets hate that feeling. Put it together and you get the same outcome: higher volatility, thinner patience, and less forgiveness for story stocks. One takeaway: this week can punish size. If you don’t have a clear “I’m out” level and a max loss you can live with, you’re not trading, you’re gambling. Smaller bets, tighter rules, and no ego. Survive the chop, then swing when the dust settles. I’ll keep the public post clean. The positioning playbook and Intel $INTC checklist go to subscribers via the link in my profile.
