Peter Thiel just put 72 percent of his public portfolio into energy and power – Here’s the full list

 

Peter Thiel just put 72% of his public portfolio into energy and power. Here’s the full list:

  • VIST 18.1% Argentine shale in Vaca Muerta. Second biggest position in the whole book.
  • VST 14.1% Independent power producer with nuclear and direct data centre contracts.
  • AEP 10.1% Regulated utility with one of the largest contracted data centre pipelines in the country.
  • DTE 9.6% Midwest utility feeding industrial and AI demand. FE 9.5% Transmission heavy. The wires side of the buildout.
  • CMS 9.4% Another regulated utility, sized almost identically to the rest. XE 0.9% Small modular reactors. Tiny position, but that's the nuclear bet. Generation, fuel, regulated utilities and next generation nuclear. 4 different ways to own the same constraint.

Clashes erupt in Kobani as Kurdish protesters and SDF supporters move against Syrian government security forces

Fix is in: MBS called twice yesterday to get U.S. to bomb the Houthis as the group made major advances –  Trump declined

Remember:  The objective was to shut the Strait of Hormuz.  High Banking Command thinks they can win this against China.   And the inflation is a bonus to them. They're inflating away the goverment debt.  They are the government. 

I do wonder

  • Does the US owe the gulf states a lot of money?
  • If they fall who does the US owe that money to or on the practical side of things does that debt go poof?

 

Is the crude oil spike about to crush markets the same way the COVID shock did?

 

Is the crude oil spike about to crush markets the same way the COVID shock did? This is what you should track. Oil alone won’t tell you when the real liquidation starts. Watch the confirmation signals:

  • Credit spreads widen → track JNK/SHY.
  • Equity volatility rises → VIX starts breaking higher while equities fall.
  • Gold/Silver ratio rises → defensive positioning begins.
  • Copper falls → the growth proxy starts pricing demand destruction.
  • Bond yields explode higher → inflation shock starts attacking duration and liquidity. If all of these begin happening together while crude keeps pushing higher, then this is no longer just an oil rally.

It becomes a full cross-asset stress event.

  • Oil ↑
  • Credit stress ↑
  • VIX ↑
  • Gold/Silver ↑
  • Copper ↓
  • Yields ↑

When that sequence starts confirming together, you could be looking at the beginning of a full market meltdown. That is the setup I’m tracking very closely now.
