What the Sigma
Michael Burry has built a specific, falsifiable short thesis against AI infrastructure stocks — centered on suppressed depreciation, off-balance-sheet lease commitments, and circular financing fragility. Chad Stacks breaks down the actual accounting mechanics behind the trade, where the thesis holds up, and where it gets soft.
What the Sigma
Jensen Huang has turned GPUs into a financeable asset class, recruiting BlackRock, Blackstone, Apollo, KKR, Brookfield, and Goldman Sachs to underwrite $500 billion in AI infrastructure demand. But a veteran loan structurer who built deals like these before IndyMac collapsed says the collateral could depreciate like forklifts, not toll roads — and China's chip strategy may be the trigger. Chad Stacks breaks down the financial engineering, the buried risks, and the one number everyone should be watching.
What the Sigma
Kalshi markets itself as a prediction platform for elections and award shows, but its own reported volume tells a different story: roughly ninety percent of over a billion dollars in monthly bets goes to sports. Now thirty-eight state attorneys general, New York, and a federal judge are testing whether a CFTC commodity registration can silently override state gambling law — and the answer is reshaping the entire prediction-market sector.
What the Sigma
The Fed's ninth-to-three hold at 3.6% looked like patience on the surface, but three hawkish dissents and a bond market moving in lockstep with oil prices tell a different story. Chad breaks down why the Strait of Hormuz — not the dot plot — is now the marginal price-setter for the entire U.S. rate path, and what a 14.6% CCC yield means if the hawks get their fall hike.
What the Sigma
The US State Department called Chinese AI models cheap knockoffs — then the White House used one of those same models to argue for deregulating American labs. Chad Stacks breaks down the two separate news cycles that got stitched together, separates the verified facts from the noise, and explains why the contradiction might be a feature, not a bug.

FAQs
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
