🚨 Smart Money Is Leaving FAST

SpaceX IPO’d at a $1.75T valuation. Three business days later, they were the sixth-most valuable public company.

Those who bought at the opening bell saw a 40% gain. Andreessen Horowitz, who invested back in 2023? 1,700%+. The lesson? Today’s biggest growth comes at the private stage.

It’s why institutions love private-stage opportunities. A similar dynamic’s playing out in lithium, where General Motors backed $1B+ private unicorn EnergyX. Except this time, you can join them.

EnergyX’s patented tech can recover up to 3X more lithium than traditional methods. And with lithium prices up 75% this year and demand projected to grow 5X by 2040, they’re perfectly positioned.

After opening America’s largest lithium production facility of its kind, EnergyX is preparing to unlock up to 13M tons. Become a private-stage EnergyX before the 7/16 deadline.

The smart money just hit the eject button on U.S. tech. And they hit it hard.

Goldman Sachs' says hedge funds sold Info Tech $XLK ( ▼ 2.57% ) stocks in the week ended June 25 at the fastest pace since their data began in 2016.

That's faster selling than August 2024, when the Nasdaq 100 $QQQ ( ▼ 1.53% ) tumbled over 10% into correction territory. Except this time? No crash. They're just... leaving.

And it's not just tech getting dumped.

Hedge funds sold the most U.S. stocks $SPY ( ▼ 0.14% ) $VOO ( ▼ 0.2% ) overall since the April 2025 Liberation Day selloff. The whole market's getting the cold shoulder.

And the Magnificent 7 $MAGS ( ▲ 2.4% )? Not feeling so magnificent.

Hedge fund exposure to $AAPL ( ▲ 1.74% ), $GOOGL ( ▲ 1.08% ), $AMZN ( ▲ 1.41% ), $META ( ▲ 8.81% ), $MSFT ( ▲ 3.02% ), $NVDA ( ▼ 1.25% ), and $TSLA ( ▲ 1.12% ) has dropped to 14.5% of total U.S. exposure. That's near a three-year low.

The share is down 7 percentage points since the start of 2026. The biggest six-month drop since the 2022 bear market.

Think of it like watching everyone quietly leave a house party. Nobody's yelling "fire," but the exits are getting busy.

Should you panic? Not necessarily. Hedge funds get it wrong all the time.

But when the fastest sellers in the room start sprinting, it's worth asking what they think they see.

1. Rotate Where the Money's Flowing
Hedge funds aren't leaving the market entirely. They're leaving tech. That cash lands somewhere, and defensive sectors usually catch it.

📌 Action: Watch value and defensive ETFs like $XLV ( ▲ 0.56% ), $XLP ( ▲ 0.28% ), or $XLU ( ▼ 1.26% ) for inflows. If tech money rotates in, early positioning catches the wave.

2. Build Your Mag 7 Shopping List
When the fastest sellers in the room sprint for exits, quality stocks get dragged down with them. Forced selling creates discounts on companies whose fundamentals haven't changed.

📌 Action: Set price alerts on $NVDA ( ▼ 1.25% ), $MSFT ( ▲ 3.02% ), and $GOOGL ( ▲ 1.08% ) at 10-15% below current levels. Let hedge fund panic hand you an entry point. Buy in tranches, not all at once.

3. Raise Cash, Stay Patient
The pros are de-risking. You don't need to copy them, but holding dry powder when smart money runs is rarely a bad look. Cash is a position too.

📌 Action: Trim your most stretched winners and park proceeds in a money market fund or $SGOV ( ▲ 0.03% ) (yielding ~4-5%). Get paid to wait for better prices.

Ditch the Gmail data grab

The Trump administration declared a power emergency Tuesday for PJM Interconnection, the largest grid in the US, right before a heat wave that could cook the East Coast.

Why? Demand is surging and there isn't enough juice to go around.

The Department of Energy's emergency order lets power plants across the PJM region run at maximum capacity and even blow past some environmental limits.

Think of it like removing the speed limiter on a delivery truck during Christmas week. Not ideal. But the packages must arrive.

The stakes are big:

And this isn't the grid's first sweat of the summer.

Last month, the DoE issued another emergency order to deploy backup generation in PJM to help dodge blackouts in the Mid-Atlantic.

Two emergency orders before July even starts? The grid is running a marathon in a wool jumper.

Who's in the hot seat (literally):

Utilities operating in the PJM region include:

When the grid strains, these names are the ones keeping the lights (and your AC) on.

1. Ride the Grid Strain Winners
Emergency orders mean PJM generators run flat out. Max output at peak summer pricing is a revenue tailwind for independent power producers.

📌 Action: Watch $VST ( ▼ 3.45% ), $CEG ( ▼ 4.78% ) and $NRG ( ▼ 3.6% ) on heat wave headlines. These are the names that profit when the grid begs for every megawatt.

2. Play the Long-Term Grid Buildout
Two emergency orders before July? The grid is undersized for AI data centres, EVs and hotter summers. That means years of infrastructure spending.

📌 Action: Consider grid infrastructure ETFs like $GRID ( ▼ 2.37% ) or utilities ETFs like $XLU ( ▼ 1.26% ) for a slower, steadier compounding play. Buy and hold, not buy and panic.

3. Set Heat Wave Alerts as a Trading Signal
Extreme weather now moves utility stocks like earnings do. DoE emergency orders are a repeatable catalyst you can track for free.

📌 Action: Set alerts for DoE 202(c) orders and NOAA extreme heat warnings. When they drop, check power producers $VST ( ▼ 3.45% ), $CEG ( ▼ 4.78% ), $NRG ( ▼ 3.6% ) for momentum entries.

$META ( ▲ 8.81% ) woke up on Wednesday and chose violence.

Bloomberg reports the company is building a cloud business to sell its excess AI compute. Meta shares jumped more than 10% in early trading on the news, settling around 8% higher.

Zuck spent hundreds of billions on GPUs. Now he wants to rent out the spare ones.

It’s like buying a mansion for a party, then Airbnb-ing the guest rooms Monday to Friday.

Here's the plan.

The internal project is called Meta Compute, and it has two flavours:

That second bullet point is why the neoclouds had a very bad day.

The bloodbath:

When the guy with the world's biggest GPU stockpile enters your market, it smells like an extinction event.

The old guard? Weirdly fine.

Amazon $AMZN ( ▲ 1.41% ) dipped at first, then recovered to +1.7%. Microsoft $MSFT ( ▲ 3.02% ) and Alphabet $GOOGL ( ▲ 1.08% ) both finished higher too.

Turns out when you're already a cloud giant, one more rival is just another day.

SpaceX got caught in the crossfire too.

The freshly public rocket company $SPCX ( ▼ 7.8% ) has its own cloud hustle, selling compute to Google (a deal worth up to $30B), Anthropic (a 6-month data centre lease), and AI startup Reflection.

SpaceX shares fell more than 5% on Wednesday. Rockets go up. Stocks, apparently, optional.

Because AI capex is eating everyone's lunch, and Wall Street wants to see revenue now, not in 2030.

UBS analyst Stephen Ju says selling excess compute could reduce earnings risk. His take: cloud revenue lands faster than waiting for Meta's AI chatbots and Business Agents to scale.

His numbers: META trades at 17x his 2027 GAAP EPS estimate, and he's modelling $32.67 EPS in 2026 and $32.98 in 2027. The new revenue could stop those numbers going flat.

One caveat from Ju: this wasn't on Zuck's official list of long-term opportunities, so some investors may smell a pivot.

To be fair, Zuckerberg did flag this at May's shareholder meeting. His exact words: "It's definitely on the table." He just hadn't pulled the trigger because Meta thought it needed all the compute itself.

Here's the scary thought spooking the whole AI trade: what if compute supply is finally catching up with demand?

The entire AI rally has been built on one story. Everyone needs chips, nobody has enough. Meta renting out spare capacity pokes a hole in that story.

So the sector bled.

Chip equipment makers took the worst of it: KLA fell 8%, Lam Research 7%, Applied Materials 6%.
