Ares's Eye View on the Markets

Greetings from Themyscira, where even we keep an eye on the mortal realm's financial tides. CNBC's recent analysis of Q4 2025 filings reveals some rather intriguing maneuvers by the ultra-wealthy. It seems even those with pockets deeper than the Marianas Trench are making strategic bets, some riskier than others. Reminds me of the time Circe tried to corner the drachma market – chaos ensued, naturally. This report offers insights into where the smart money *thinks* the future lies. Key word think.

Omega's Gamble: Football, Mortgages, and More

Leon Cooperman's Omega Advisors has been making headlines, upping their stake in Manchester United. It seems even billionaires are susceptible to the allure of the beautiful game. But the real news, at least from a strategic perspective, is their massive investment in mortgage lender Rocket Companies. Now, that's a move that could either soar like Hermes or crash faster than a poorly piloted Invisible Jet. While the realm of finance can seem as complicated as navigating the labyrinth, understanding these moves can offer valuable insights.

Tepper's Tech Triumph: Riding the AI Wave

David Tepper's Appaloosa tripled its position in Micron, a savvy move considering the surge in demand for memory chips powering those ever-hungry AI data centers. This highlights a critical point: even demigods have to acknowledge the power of technology. As I've learned, adapting is key. This is also something my Amazonian sisters are very familiar with.

Druckenmiller's Fuel-Cell Fortune

Stanley Druckenmiller's Duquesne Family Office initiated a new position in fuel-cell company Bloom Energy, which has more than doubled in value this year. Clearly, some investors are betting big on the future of energy. It makes one wonder when they will finally move to renewable energy.

Cryptocurrency Calamities and the Mag 7 Shuffle

Not all bets pay off, of course. The Walton family's WIT LLC dipped its toes into the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF, only to see it sink faster than Atlantis. And while some were boosting their holdings in the 'Magnificent Seven,' others were downsizing. The market, as always, is a fickle beast. It seems even the ultra-wealthy are not immune to the market's unpredictable whims. I feel like this could be a good episode for my arch-nemesis, Cheetah. If she was not so obsessed with me.

Dalio's Golden Rule: Diversify or Die

Ray Dalio, ever the pragmatist, has taken a rather striking approach, pouring nearly 90% of his portfolio into gold. He argues it's a critical diversifier in a world teetering on the brink of, well, *something*. It is a move reminiscent of an Amazonian storing artifacts. Prudent but also a little over the top. But what would he know about keeping valuables.
