Editor’s Note: Jeff Brown is the former tech executive who called the rise of Bitcoin, Tesla, and Nvidia years in advance. He's now predicting Elon Musk is about to open a new wealth window by November 30. Click here to see the details or read more below because the last three times this window opened, those who acted had a chance to walk away with generational wealth.

Dear Reader,

Have you seen this Elon Musk new project?

He called it "the most epic AI project in history…"

Because it could help him secure 50 times MORE computing power than the entire rest of the world.

This is all part of Elon Musk's $320 trillion masterplan…

A blueprint to completely dominate the entire AI industry.

And I'm pretty sure this is keeping executives at Amazon, Microsoft, and Google up at night.

But what does this mean for you?

Well, Elon is predicting this could be 180 times bigger than the SpaceX IPO.

That IPO minted 4,400 millionaires overnight.

If this is 180 times bigger…

Just imagine how many more Americans will become millionaires.

Will you be one of them?

Or will you just watch others get rich from the sidelines?

We have so much to look forward to,

Wall Street's AI rally came roaring back Wednesday, led by a nearly 25% surge in CoreWeave shares. The Nasdaq jumped 400 points, while the S&P 500 gained 1.31% and moved within 2.6% of its record high.

CoreWeave reported $3.66 billion in quarterly revenue, up 168% from a year ago. It also disclosed $132.5 billion in contracted revenue backlog, giving investors fresh proof that demand for AI computing remains strong.

But the results exposed a second story. CoreWeave lost $709 million for the quarter and reported $846 million in net interest expense. That was more than 4 times the firm's operating income.

Investors cheered the growth. Now they must decide whether profits can catch up with the spending.

The question matters across Wall Street. Nvidia, Micron, AMD, and other chip stocks rallied Wednesday, even as higher interest rates added to the cost of building AI data centers.

Wednesday, November 11 Final Market Close

For the week through Wednesday:

Three forces shaped Wednesday's rally.

CoreWeave reported strong sales and raised its full-year outlook. That gave investors more proof that customers are still spending heavily on AI computing power, despite concerns about high debt and data-center costs.

Chip stocks also rebounded after sharp losses. Nvidia, Micron, AMD, and Broadcom gained as buyers returned to firms that supply the hardware behind AI growth.

The gains came despite Tuesday's hot inflation report, which raised expectations for another Fed rate hike. Strong earnings helped investors look past that risk, at least for Wednesday.

But the rally exposed an important split. Firms selling chips and computing power surged, while some of the largest companies buying AI hardware fell.

CoreWeave was Wednesday's biggest AI story.

Shares surged 24.71% after the company reported $3.66 billion in third-quarter revenue, up 168% from a year earlier. The firm also raised its full-year revenue forecast to $13 billion–$13.3 billion.

Its contracted revenue backlog reached approximately $132.5 billion. That figure covers future work under customer contracts, subject to CoreWeave delivering the services and meeting other terms. It is not revenue the company has already earned.

The backlog gave investors more confidence that customers plan to keep spending. But the firm's financial results showed how costly it is to meet that demand.

CoreWeave reported $207 million in operating income and $846 million in net interest expense. That means its interest costs were more than 4 times its operating income.

The company also posted a $709 million quarterly net loss, compared with a loss of $110 million a year earlier.

Those figures reveal the challenge behind AI's rapid growth. CoreWeave is building the systems customers need, but debt costs are taking a heavy toll on earnings.

CoreWeave's growth plans will require even more money.

The company now expects full-year capital spending of $37 billion–$39 billion. Much of that money will go toward the chips, power, and data centers needed to serve customers.

Management also expects approximately $9 billion in customer prepayments and deposits over the next 3 months. Those funds could help pay for new projects and reduce the need for fresh borrowing.

But those payments are still expected, not guaranteed. The company must keep adding computing power, deliver services under its contracts, and control costs as it grows.

That creates a key test for investors. Strong sales prove that customers want more computing power. They do not prove that the company can earn enough to cover its debt, interest, and building costs.

CoreWeave's shares surged because demand remained strong. Its financial statements showed why the cost of that growth matters just as much.

Wednesday's gains spread across the chip industry.

Micron surged 11.89%, while AMD gained approximately 7.3%. Broadcom climbed roughly 4%, and Nvidia rose 2.87%.

The semiconductor index gained about 5.7%, one of the day's strongest moves. CoreWeave's results helped lift these stocks because more demand for AI computing can mean more orders for chips, memory, and servers.

Chipmakers can earn revenue when customers buy their products. The firms buying that hardware must then use it to earn enough money to justify the cost. That difference helps explain Wednesday's trading. Microsoft fell 2.26%, while Amazon lost 1.74%, even as many AI suppliers surged.

The moves do not mean that investors have lost faith in large cloud firms. But they show that Wall Street is weighing the firms that sell AI equipment against those paying to build and run the systems. Strong chip demand is clear. The return on all that spending remains the harder question.

Wednesday's rally pushed the S&P 500 to 7,619.38, within 2.6% of its October record. The Nasdaq gained 400.31 points to close at 25,466.19. That brought both indexes closer to recovering the steep losses from the prior week.

The gains showed renewed demand for technology shares after concerns about AI spending triggered heavy selling. But the rally was not equal across the market.

Chipmakers, memory suppliers, and AI computing firms led the gains. Some large technology firms and other sectors lagged behind. That matters because a rally led by a narrow group of stocks can be more exposed to bad news from those firms.

Investors will want to see whether gains spread across more industries. Stronger results from banks, manufacturers, retailers, and smaller firms would provide more support for the wider market.

Wednesday's rally came despite a major risk from inflation. U.S. consumer prices rose 0.4% in October, above forecasts of 0.3%. Core prices increased 0.3%, also beating expectations.

The report raised fears that the Fed could increase interest rates again in December. That matters because higher rates can hurt fast-growing firms in 2 ways.

First, loans become more expensive. Firms that borrow billions to build data centers must pay more in interest. Second, higher bond yields can make future company profits less valuable to investors today. That can put pressure on stocks with high prices.

CoreWeave's earnings made the first risk easy to see. Its $846 million in net interest expense was far above its $207 million in operating income.

Those costs could become an even greater burden if rates stay high and the firm needs more financing. The bond market was closed Wednesday for Veterans Day. Thursday will bring the first full Treasury trading session since Tuesday's inflation report. Investors will watch whether yields rise as bond trading resumes.

Oil prices rose Wednesday after falling sharply earlier in the week. Brent crude climbed to approximately $92.56 a barrel as traders weighed fresh risks to oil supplies and shipping in the Persian Gulf.

Higher crude prices can raise costs for airlines, trucking firms, and businesses that move goods. Those costs can also reach families through higher fuel prices. That matters because the Fed is still trying to bring inflation closer to its 2% goal.

Oil had fallen as hopes grew for progress in talks involving Iran. Wednesday's rise showed that supply risks have not gone away.

A lasting drop in crude could help slow inflation. But fresh attacks or shipping delays could push prices higher again. For now, energy prices remain another risk for company profits and the Fed's rate plans.

Thursday, November 12, brings fresh reports on jobs and housing. Weekly jobless claims are due at 8:30 a.m. ET. The report will show how many people filed new claims for unemployment benefits.

Existing-home sales are due at 10:00 a.m. ET. That report will help show how high mortgage rates are affecting homebuyers.

Both matter because the Fed must weigh strong hiring against the risk that high borrowing costs could slow the economy. Friday, November 13, brings the October Producer Price Index at 8:30 a.m. ET.

That report tracks prices received by U.S. producers. It can show whether firms face more pressure to raise prices or accept lower profits. A hotter reading could add to fears of another Fed rate hike. A softer report could ease concerns after Tuesday's inflation surprise.

Wednesday's rally showed that Wall Street still expects strong growth from AI.

CoreWeave surged nearly 25% after reporting $3.66 billion in quarterly revenue and $132.5 billion in contracted revenue backlog. Micron jumped nearly 12%, while Nvidia and AMD also gained.

The gains pushed the S&P 500 to within 2.6% of its record high. But CoreWeave's financial results revealed the cost of that growth.

The company reported $846 million in net interest expense and a $709 million net loss. It also plans to spend up to $39 billion on capital projects this year.

Those figures matter because AI data centers need vast amounts of money, power, and equipment before they can earn enough to cover their costs. Higher interest rates make that task harder. Tuesday's hot inflation report raised expectations for another Fed hike, putting more pressure on firms that rely on debt.

The lesson is simple: AI demand is growing fast, but sales growth alone does not guarantee profits. CoreWeave's results gave investors proof that customers are still spending. Its losses showed why the cost of that growth matters just as much.

Wednesday's rally showed that buyers still believe in AI's future. Now Wall Street must decide whether stronger earnings can support the next stage of the rally.
