In the 1970s, the late Jane Goodall observed a community of chimpanzees in Gombe, Tanzania, breaking into two factions; the males in one group ended up killing all the males in the rival group over the next four years, along with one female chimp. But the case was considered an anomaly, although there is genetic evidence suggesting this kind of split is a rare event occurring every 500 years or so. Now researchers have observed the largest known community of Ngogo chimpanzees in Uganda also permanently splitting into two rival groups with a similar outbreak of violence, according to a new paper published in the journal Science. "What's especially striking is that the chimpanzees are killing former group members," said co-author Aaron Sandel , an anthropologist at the University of Texas, Austin. "The new group identities are overriding cooperative relationships that had existed for years. I would caution against anyone calling this a civil war. But the polarization and collective violence that we have observed with these chimpanzees may give us insight into our own species." The authors analyzed 24 years' worth of data from social networks, 10 years of GPS tracking, and 30 years of demographic data on the Ngogo chimps in Uganda's Kibale National Park. They identified three distinct phases to the split. First there was an abrupt shift as chimp relationships became polarized into two distinct clusters: Western and Central. The chimps then spent the next two years increasingly avoiding those in their rival cluster; there were very few interactions across clusters, and Western male chimps started patrolling their territory, showing increased aggression toward Central males. By 2018, the fissure had become permanent. Read full article Comments

J Studios/DigitalVision via Getty Images Thesis Summary In my last article, I upgraded CoreWeave, Inc. ( CRWV ) stock to a Strong Buy. My thesis back then was simple. The market was pricing balance sheet risk, justifiably, but I believed demand would ultimately win. Since then, two things have happened. Demand has not just held up, it has actually accelerated. And more importantly, capital markets have remained wide open to fund that demand. CoreWeave has now passed the survival stage and is in the growth stage. While other data center stocks have rallied, CRWV has been left behind, but now it’s time to catch up. The opportunity is still not fully priced, and this remains a window to load up. The Demand Story Just Broke Higher The biggest update since my last post is, of course, the expanded agreement with Meta Platforms ( META ). This is a $21 billion deal, extending through 2032, with special focus on inference workloads. $21 billion is nothing to scoff at, but the significance of this goes well beyond the headline number. The deal confirms what management has been saying for months. Demand is not normalizing or slowing down; it is stepping higher. Inference is becoming continuous, always-on, and increasingly complex and that change shifts the AI story. In this regard, CoreWeave is no longer just supplying capacity for model training cycles. It is becoming embedded in the ongoing operation of AI systems. CoreWeave Is De-Risking The bear case on CoreWeave has always been straightforward. Too much capex, funded by too much debt at too high interest and therefore too much reliance on capital markets. But while this is true, I think CRWV has now proven it can get funding. CoreWeave has just announced plans to raise $3 billion in convertible senior notes. Yes, they are unsecured, and of course, there is potential dilution. But this misses the bigger point. The fact that CoreWeave can raise capital at this scale, in this environment, after everything that has happened i...

One of the biggest debates raging on Wall Street in recent months is what to make of Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) . The company was arguably the catalyst for the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution, supplying the graphics processing units (GPUs) that enable the technology. After a run of 1,180% that spanned three years, the stock has fallen 36% from its peak and is back where it was one year ago. Many investors believe the sell-off is unwarranted and that it's only a matter of time before Nvidia's stock price rebounds, particularly in light of the company's recent forecast. But one classic financial model suggests Nvidia's stock price should be above $900. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

PhonlamaiPhoto/iStock via Getty Images AST SpaceMobile, Inc. ( ASTS ) has struggled getting satellites into space, unlike a couple of big satellite competitors, but it just doesn't matter for the stock price. As long as a major satellite provider leads a hot IPO in 2026, AST SpaceMobile could continue rising. My investment thesis remains ultra Bearish due to the stock valuation being vastly disconnected from the corporate execution and the realistic opportunity ahead. Source: Finviz Delayed Satellite Launches Along with the Q4'25 earnings report on March 3, AST SpaceMobile informed the market of the encapsulation of the BlueBird 7 satellite in February with an expected launch during March. Well, the calendar has already flipped to April, and Blue Origin announced the satellite launch no earlier than April 10. The latest data has already shifted the launch to April 16, or a month and a half delay from when AST SpaceMobile placed an official target on the launch date as late February with no clarification made on the earliest date concept. A few weeks delay in the space world isn't a big deal unless you're an operator struggling to officially launch services. AST SpaceMobile famously promised customers continuous coverage in the US by the end of 2025, yet the company has only launched one satellite since the 5 small test satellites back in late 2024. AST SpaceMobile is still pushing for a goal of reaching 45 to 60 satellites in orbit by the end of 2026, but the company is far behind. Satellite launches one to two months apart have been promised for a year now, and the BlueBird 7 is nearly 4 months after the launch of BlueBird 6 . The company is quickly moving into mid-year for the next launch. The BlueBird #4 mission doesn't have a scheduled time yet, and this is one of the key launches where AST SpaceMobile will shift to launching up to 8 satellites at a time. In addition, AST SpaceMobile has struggled with the launching of individual satellites, so the goal of shift...

As a fragile US-Iran ceasefire takes shape, Tehran has signaled that payments in digital currency should form part of any toll system for vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz, the chokepoint through which around a fifth of the world’s oil normally flows. The logic is clear: tokens cannot be easily confiscated under sanctions. Crypto market participants say the plan appears all but unworkable through legitimate channels. Yet the demand has laid bare a sanctions-evasion infrastructure that is larger, and harder for Western enforcers to contain, than any single toll system. The Financial Times reported this week that Iran would demand payments in Bitcoin, citing a spokesperson for Iran’s oil exporters’ union. Bloomberg previously reported that operatives are seeking tolls in yuan or stablecoins, citing shipping industry participants. TRM Labs , a blockchain analytics company, said Iranian legislation authorizes the use of “digital currencies” routed through domestically licensed entities — part of a framework designed to ensure the state can monitor and direct crypto flows rather than relying on external networks it does not control. The practical barriers, however, are immense. “Shipping companies are already under fairly enhanced supervision worldwide, given they are in a high-risk industry,” said Jake Ostrovskis, head of over-the-counter trading at Wintermute, one of the largest crypto market makers. “If there is an inclination that it is going to be somewhere sanctioned, no desks would work with them.” The Hormuz toll proposal, whether it takes hold or fades with the ceasefire, has nonetheless made visible the degree to which cryptocurrency is now woven into the financial architecture of a sanctioned state — and the scale of the state’s ambitions to push further.
