Just like we drew it up…

Ron Baron understands
BREAKING: Ron Baron backs Elon Musk to put data centers in space.
“We need more power and Elon’s doing that.”
• Baron says America needs to build more chips at home and generate more electricity. “We need more power. Elon’s doing that.”
• By Baron’s estimate, China has roughly 3× the power capacity of the U.S. and adds about 300 gigawatts a year, compared with 20 in the U.S.
• Baron says Musk is targeting launches in 2027 and 2028 to bring solar-powered data centers into orbit.
• He expects data centers in space to be “significant in 2028” and “huge” a year or two later.

Treat Grok Bot like a teammate and give @bot an ambitious task you’d normally give to a new hire.
We closed our first deal with Grok @bot this week 🚀
My business has a very traditional sales cycle that often takes months to cultivate and close. We pointed Grok Bot at our tools and it surfaced past prospects/customers for my AE’s to reach out to. Two weeks in we have our first closed/won deal.
Without Grok Bot we most likely would not have reached out to this past customer. With Grok Bot it pulled this customer from the haystack and surfaced it to my AE who simply reached out, pitched and closed.
It’s absolutely amazing! Thank you @elonmusk.
Thank you @mattyp for showing us what can be done with Grok Bot.

- Delivered revenue of $14.6 billion, up 161% year-over-year
- Successfully launched our first revenue-generating Starship mission, delivering 26 Starlink V3 satellites to our broadband constellation, representing approximately 10x the downlink capacity added by a Falcon 9 Starlink launch
- Added $6.7 billion of incremental Super Intelligence solutions and infrastructure revenue year-over-year, driven by cloud services agreements, the acquisition of Cursor, and our growing SI models and software applications, including @Grok @Bot
- Delivered year-over-year revenue growth of 69% and income from operations growth of 99% for the Connectivity segment, supported by strong momentum in enterprise and government adoption, and continued @Starlink consumer subscriber growth
- Continued to scale nameplate compute, reaching 1.7 GW as of September 30, 2026

New @TheCoalTrader podcast up - did coal stocks just put in a bottom?
Thermal prices are rising, met coal is finding support, and several stocks are starting to look interesting, so Joe and I break down the fundamentals and charts.

A fun game in times like these is to go to the S&P 500 Index and see how many profitable companies one can buy with the bubble private company valuation.
The number that Anthropic’s valuation buys is 78, including Domino’s, Clorox, Smucker, Stanley Black & Decker, Deckers, lululemon, McCormick, Tractor Supply, NVR, Albemarle, FedEx Freight, News Corp, Alllian Energy, Kimco Realty, Hormel Foods, Clorox, Weyerhauser, DaVita, Zimmer Biomet, Lennox, Masco, A.O. Smith, MGM, Wynn, Brown-Forman, Norwegian Cruise Lines, Hungtington Ingalls, and many more.
The largest inflation adjusted valuation at pre-IPO of 1990-2000 was UPS at $119 billion, 92 years old at the time. That was 26 times earnings at a net margin of about 8.6%, 2.4x sales.

This was a fun, informative episode.
I think what makes Dr. Patrick so unique is that she can take a topic as (seemingly) frivolous as blueberries and make it interesting, actionable, and give you the science to understand why.
Increasing my consumption immediately. 🫐
I want you to eat blueberries, just not with bananas (unless you really want to).
In my new episode, I examine the evidence for blueberries' benefits on blood flow, brain aging, glucose regulation, gut health, inflammation, and exercise recovery.
Blueberries improve the ability of arteries to relax and deliver blood to the brain, heart, and working muscles. They can improve insulin sensitivity and buffer the blood-sugar response to a calorie-rich meal. Human interventions have also demonstrated improved aspects of memory and cognition in older adults, while observational data link regular blueberry intake to slower cognitive decline.
This isn’t simply an antioxidant story. Blueberry polyphenols act like biological signals, influencing nitric oxide, inflammation, gene expression, and possibly neuronal plasticity.
I also revisit the controversial banana-smoothie question, and explain why I take a cautious approach when my goal is maximizing blueberry-polyphenol exposure.
The full episode is out now on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. Enjoy!

Charlie Munger was 31 years old. He was divorced, broke, and watching his nine-year-old son die of leukemia. He died at 99 worth $2.6 billion.
In 1953 he went through a divorce at 29. His wife got the house and most of what he had. He moved into a room and drove a beat-up yellow Pontiac. When someone asked why he kept the car, he said it was to discourage gold diggers.
He was making $275 a month as a lawyer at Wright & Garrett in Los Angeles. Then his son Teddy was diagnosed with leukemia. There was no treatment. The survival rate was close to zero. Munger had no health insurance.
His friend Rick Guerin said Munger would go to the hospital, hold his son for a while, then walk the streets of Pasadena crying.
Teddy died in 1955. Munger was 31.
He never let it destroy him. He said envy, resentment, revenge, and self-pity are disastrous modes of thought. Self-pity gets pretty close to paranoia. He said whenever you think some situation or some person is ruining your life, it is actually you who are ruining your life.
He rebuilt everything. He did real estate deals that made him $1.4 million. He started an investment partnership that returned 19.8 percent annually for 13 years. He became vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway in 1978.
His advice to young people was three rules. Do not sell anything you would not buy yourself. Do not work for anyone you do not respect and admire. Work only with people you enjoy.
And one line that held everything together. The safest way to get what you want is to try to deserve what you want.
He gave away so many Berkshire shares that his fortune would have been over $10 billion. He kept $2.6 billion. He did not need the rest.
The man who walked the streets crying at 31 spent the next 68 years proving that you do not overcome tragedy. You outlast it.
Munger spent decades studying how emotions distort judgment and lead even smart people into costly mistakes.
The article below turns his 25 psychological tendencies into a practical checklist for examining your own decisions.

3 phases to structure your day for habits:
- Phase 1: 0-8 hrs after waking. Norepinephrine, epinephrine and dopamine run high, along with a healthy cortisol rise and higher body temperature
- Phase 2: 9-14 hrs after waking. Phase 3: 16-24 hrs
- Anchor it to a typical schedule: asleep near 10pm, awake near 7am, plus or minus 2 hrs
- In phase 1, support that alert state: sunlight within 30 min of waking, exercise early, cold exposure, caffeine, fasting
- If you eat, favor tyrosine-rich foods. Supplement route: alpha-GPC, phenylethylamine or L-tyrosine
