For the first time ever, Chinese car brands now make up about 10% of all passenger cars sold in Europe. That’s more than both US and South Korean brands combined.
EVs are where they’re really shining—Chinese electric vehicles doubled their market share in 2025 to 11%, hitting a massive 16% in December alone. 🔋⚡
Japanese brands are still ahead at around 13%, but if this growth keeps up, China could overtake Japan as early as 2026. 🌏
The message is clear: China isn’t just entering the car market—they’re on track to dominate it globally. 🚀
👀 Keep an eye on this—Europe’s roads are about to look very different!
Big news for anyone feeling the pinch at the store. Core inflation is at its lowest point since 2021, and real wages have gone up by almost $1,400. That basically means Americans have clawed back about half of the buying power lost over the past few years.
Your paycheck suddenly goes a little further, and that’s something everyone can feel. 💵👀
Kevin O’Leary just dropped a warning in Munich: you’re either with us or against us. ⚡
He says China is moving fast — economically, militarily, AI — and if democracies like Europe and Canada don’t unite, they could lose their place in the world. 🌏🤖
“This isn’t a drill,” O’Leary said. “Act fast or they’ll be walking into your country one day.” 🏃♂️💥
The message is clear: the global power game is happening now, and the clock is ticking. ⏳
China’s DeepSeek V4 is about to drop around Lunar New Year, and the market is NOT ready.
Remember DeepSeek R1? When it launched, US tech stocks crashed—Nvidia got slammed, AI names dumped, and hundreds of billions disappeared in hours. That was just a warm-up.
Now rumors say V4 will: 💻 Crush coding benchmarks 🧠 Handle 1M token context 💸 Cost 10x less 🔓 Have open weights 🤯 Feature MoE monster architecture 🏆 Beat Claude and ChatGPT
If this even comes close to the leaks, AI valuations are about to get stress tested HARD.
Right now, the US AI trade relies on: 💰 Expensive GPUs 🏗 Massive capex ☁️ Cloud lock-in 💵 $100M+ training runs
And here comes a Chinese lab showing up with: ⚡ Comparable performance 💲 Fraction of the cost 🌐 Open deployment 🏠 Local inference possible
Last time the shock moved ~10%. This time? If the numbers are real, we’re talking structural repricing—overvalued AI multiples could evaporate overnight.
This isn’t a small model update. This is geopolitical AI competition going nuclear.
📅 Feb 17-20 could see massive volatility.
If DeepSeek V4 hits even 70% of expectations… AI bubble theories get challenged overnight.
Watch Nvidia. Watch AI infrastructure. Watch sentiment flip… FAST.
Apollo Global just agreed to buy up to 90 million MORPHO tokens over the next four years. That’s nearly 9% of the entire governance token supply for the lending protocol. 💰
This is more than just a crypto purchase. Institutional players are starting to take DeFi seriously, and moves like this could give MORPHO more influence and possibly push its price up. 👀
Crypto fans, keep an eye on this—big changes could be coming for DeFi lending. 🔥
South Korea and China are finally cracking down on market manipulators. They’re taking away both profits and principal, and in some cases, putting people behind bars.
Meanwhile, the U.S. just shrugs. The SEC calls it “hanky panky” and Congress keeps cashing in on insider trades.
It’s crazy how obvious the rigging is, yet nothing changes for everyday investors. How long can this go on before someone actually steps in? 🤔💸🙈
Last week, Senator Tim Scott spoke at a hearing with SEC Chair Paul Atkins about why the Clarity Act matters.
He said the Senate’s version is focused on setting clear rules for digital assets, making it easier for everyone to know what’s allowed and what’s not.
This could be a big step toward more certainty in the crypto world, and investors are watching closely 👀.
