Good morning!

While you were sleeping, the prediction market whales were busy. Here's what the smart money is betting on, plus today's top bond picks across sports, finance, politics, and tech.

News Briefing

Wall Street seems officially allergic to gravity this morning, with the Dow smashing through 49,000 and the S&P 500 posting fresh all-time highs, fueled by little more than "vibes" and relentless AI optimism.

In the boardroom, Warner Bros. Discovery continues to play hard to get, swiping left on Paramount’s sweetened $108 billion hostile bid despite Larry Ellison personally backing it with his Oracle fortune—apparently, even $40 billion in personal guarantees isn't enough to buy HBO these days.

Over at CES, Nvidia unveiled new chips that let cars "reason", while Lego debuted "Smart Bricks," ensuring the most painful toy on earth is now also digitally connected. Finally, credit bureau stocks like Equifax and FICO plummeted after FHFA Director Bill Pulte roasted their pricing on X.

The Shift from Rhetoric to "Active Planning" The primary driver of the surge was a formal confirmation from the White House yesterday that the administration is "actively drawing up acquisition plans". While rumors have circulated for months, the market reacted to Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt's explicit statement that acquiring Greenland is a "national security priority" and, critically, that utilizing the U.S. military is "always an option". This moved the event from a hypothetical scenario to an active policy objective
