Bc $75.77 is an exact 40% ROI from my buy price

In the short term, we will fall behind.  You can already see this reality in the capacity auctions.  PJM the largest interstate regulator has gone from ~$80/MWH in 2022 to ~$320 starting in June 2027, with expectations that it will rise higher.  
That said, capacity is expected to begin catching up in 2032, currently.  There are also alternatives to traditional electricity generation that are available now or that are coming down the pike.
There are fuel cells, Bloom Energy makes a system that is ~90% efficient when the CHP module is added, and generation ends up costing about 20% less than traditional electricity.  They just received a $5B investment to build a 3rd plant.  They’re currently booking into mid 2028.
In the near to mid term, there are 3 small nuclear reactors going online this year.  One in Canada, one in Tennessee, and I forget where the third one is.  All three are testing new design variants that are simplified compared to current design, with smaller footprints and capacities - shorter to build.
And residential customers foot ~25% of the bill for new capacity.  The rest is passed along to businesses in the area.  I just attended a conference in Columbus, OH where this was discussed last August.
Two things you have to remember in the projections:
1. Producers and Regulators have a vested interest in projecting higher capacity requirements than they actually expect, because it helps them get further concessions from governments and increases the price we pay for electricity.
2.  The excess capacity projections allows them to build additional infrastructure.  They get a guaranteed ROI on that investment - whether it’s ever turned on or not - but, they need approval to build.
3.  Part of the projections is planned mothballing of existing plants.  Many of those plants are getting their required shutdown dates extended by several years to help ease the crunch.
I did see a figure similar to what you quote above.  But when the presenter removed the duplicated data centers in multiple locations…the deficit dropped from 50-60 GW to about 20-25 GW.  Still bad, but not nearly as bad.

Thanks, Maduro, cook, and Elliot.
I recently graduated with a bachelors in finance and can focus more on my portfolio growth and investing strategy. I’m just curious to what’s everyone’s methodology or guidelines to locking in gains and taking profit. Today, I locked in roughly 70% ROI. I probably could’ve waited and squeezed in a couple more basis points, but my professors always hounded us about risk management.

$PATH we are at the orchestration level of AI. Time to justify ROI

1. Pause degree option (definitely if not very motivated). It's questionable enough for non vocational degrees (or those with technical skills being developed throughout) in terms of ROI.
An art degree pits you against every other degree type of graduates who are going for lower tier roles post university. There's nothing during this course which would make it stand above others, unless going for animation/creative roles (but there are also lots of business focused creative degree options out there).
I agree that there's value in studying and attending university but, (in my opinion) for at least half of the degrees out there, the ROI is poor and the knock on effect for so many young people is significant (even more so in the decades to come than now).
Unless you are able to bankroll him, in perpetuity, (or he's gifts artistically and you have connections in the industry) I'd caution against an art degree.

2. Target 1-2 years of work experience (ideally in a larger business with some even light exposure to lots of different functions). Opportunities exist to move internally for people with the right attitude etc.

3. Invest throughout this period with a portion of what you would otherwise have allocated for time studying.

4. Review whether a degree appeals (at end of 1-2 years). With a bit of maturity, particularly for males, if he does decide to study it will be with a far higher chance of success (having grown up a bit and also experienced what the '9-5' life is like - think most people would have a different perspective if they understood what having to do work they dislike or don't care about really feels like.

While the market obsesses over daily BTC volatility, the smart money is looking at the infrastructure.
Our QuantSignals V3 model—which focuses on institutional accumulation and volatility expansion—just triggered a high-conviction signal for IREN (Iris Energy) Jan 2026 LEAPs.
**Why IREN? Why now?**
The narrative is shifting. Bitcoin miners are pivoting to AI and High-Performance Computing (HPC). IREN is at the forefront of this transition with a power pipeline that the market is arguably mispricing.
**The V3 Signal Data:**
* **Convergence:** We’re seeing a rare alignment between hash rate growth and price-to-power capacity ratios.
* **Institutional Footprint:** Quant data shows a steady increase in "hidden" accumulation during recent consolidations.
* **The 2026 Edge:** Using LEAPs allows us to capture the full upside of the next two years of infrastructure build-out while mitigating the "theta decay" typical of short-term plays.
The last time V3 flagged a miner LEAP setup with these specific parameters, the move was explosive. We've broken down the exact entry levels and the projected ROI based on IREN's current expansion roadmap.
Don't trade the noise. Trade the signal.

One key difference with fiber though was that fiber was unlit for sometimes 20 years after it was put in, and fiber is fiber. The expensive part was the trenching and all that, the fiber itself wasn't particularly expensive. This is the complete opposite of the GPU situation where GPUs are 75% of the cost and the building and land is comparatively cheap.
The other thing is while fiber is still useful in 20 years, GPUs aren't. With heavy use, they have expected lives around 6-8 years before failure, and 10-12 years with light use. Not that they'll even be economically relevant for that long. The A100 is only a 5 year old GPU and is already nearing obsolescence, and NVidia is increasing their release pace from once every 2 years to once every year, so that obsolescence will only increase with time.
If these GPUs aren't paying for their entire investment in the first \~3 years or so, then they're dead weight. Considering no company is bragging about their high ROI right now, I strongly suspect they are going to be dead weight.

I guess it remains to be seen whether there is a pay off (ROI). To what degree are the “hyperscalers” doing it because the other guy is? What will be the differentiator between them for what is currently essentially a give away product that is so costly to maintain? Meta spent $77b on the Metaverse, might as well thrown it in a bonfire.
RE: GOOG - DOJ ruling goes the other way and….. 

You're correlating TSLA's fundamentals with its market movement, and you're trading scared, which means you just got lucky. TSLA is Elon, which makes TSLA more than EV. Without Elon, TSLA is RIVN. You're probably high on ROI and are just complaining really out of enthusiasm. Shorting TSLA is a thing of legend. It's almost a sure bet. We've all done it and will continue to do so. Be thankful you did well. It will not always be so. But you'll find out soon enough.

They are fucked unless demand keeps growing, which eventually means their customers has to make money from "AI".
If demand stagnates or start dropping, they will have to start competing for customers. Which means dropping prices.
What happens when one of them start installing more efficient gear and lowers prices to levels that the old gear can't ROI at as a result? You then either also get new gear or lower the prices on your old equipment to leves where it will never ROI.
It's a race to the bottom unless someone actually cracks the big "how to we make enough money from AI" question. The only way out is that AI starts generating revenue "in the open world" to support the build out.
Cloud providers making money of selling compute is not that. It is their customers or the customers of their customers that has to see returns. Otherwise the music will eventually stop.

So the implication here is that were you guaranteed a certain ROI when buying the hotspot? Otherwise, why would that make it a scam?

Unless they wait for major investments in new oilfields in N America and then collapse the price of oil to hurt their ROI. Or some other geopolitical explanation that would be impossible to predict.

> In the sense that they will probably never ROI, yep.
all you have is asspulls.
weird how the hyperscalers are super profitable - while you're claiming otherwise.
>Nope, because the calculations look entirely different for traditional servers. The efficiency and performance curve isn't near what GPUs look like per generation.
asspull.
the perf curves are up increasingly because the wattage keeps increasing, on top of the ipc lift/node.

I only wheel companies I'm very comfortable owning if the trade goes wrong. I aim for 1% ROI. SOFI for example, I aim to sell CSPs around .27-.28 per share, around 1 week out. If a contracts is worth 50% of its opening value in one day I close it. If it hits 80% by Wednesday, I close it. Anytime I close a position, I try to open a new if I find a set up I like. I usually buy to close on Friday when it is .01-.05 per share to close, so I can reallocate into the next week's expirations. 1% is very aggressive, and I've got burned in Nov with the AI downturn, which is why I'm sticking to the stocks I listed earlier.

>guess what? mi355 'obsoleted' mi300! and mi450 will 'obsolete' that.
In the sense that they will probably never ROI, yep.
> and in a shocking twist, amd also makes new epyc cpus that will 'obsolete' the previous gen!
Nope, because the calculations look entirely different for traditional servers. The efficiency and performance curve isn't near what GPUs look like per generation.
>this is definitely not the status quo and literally the same as ever! aws, azure, oci, etc and etc are in shambles! what?
Unless their customers start generating revenue to match the ROI timelines, yes.

According to me, Image based AI will matter for business but **open internet face search is a risky bet**.
The tech isn’t the issue rather than trust and regulation are. Ultimately , making it hard to scale responsibly.
The real business value is in **consented, closed use cases** (enterprise, retail, manufacturing, healthcare), where ROI is clear and risk is controllable.

> hardware always gets better.
Yes
>every gen of nvidia's gpus is better than their previous.
That is not the point
>same with amd. same with cpu, with certain exceptions from intel that actually managed to be worse...
And money was spent according to the time frame for ROI. The problem here is that the AI cloud providers are saying they can use their hardware for 6 years and EVEN LONGER.
That does not work out with token prices going down and Nvidia obsoleting their hardware.
The only reason why we had a temporary pause that made it look like that. Was that Nvidia released 2 generations on the same node. Which meant efficiency didn't improve as much outside of cases where architectural advantages mattered.

As others have said, in theory this is a reasonable but probably not incredible trade. In practice, this is probably a waste of time to introduce a lot of complexity into your finances for probably not a very high ROI.

With this kind of exchange backing,the upside looks strong risk is there but the ROI potential is hard to ingore
