Got it in with a few seconds to spare! Have a fab weekend all.

I'm going for a 666 trade, let's see.

HL still sitting at 2.30!

To lob a small buy in close to close, anyone joining me to try and stop the manipulators from dropping us for Monday start?

Constantly, we get a flurry of buys in, and then a sell is thrown in to stop the uplift. The brokers are taking the preverbial!

But HL are not playing ball. Funny how they raised us in increments of .05 on the rns day, and subsequently take us down on just a buy or two max at .10. Manipulated all round!

My brother's a professor, but he doesn't understand business nor money, he's an academic, making money is not a forte by any stretch of the imagination!

It's outrageous! You'll make a better investment elsewhere with a chance to rise x10 x20! if you look in the right place!

"Company-wide memo from Tobias Lütke, CEO of Shopify: “Before asking for more headcount and resources, teams must demonstrate why they cannot get what they want done using Al.”

Every company should emulate this approach.

At Cykel we’ve embedded AI into our engineering, sales, marketing and recruitment functions from day one.

We’re an AI-first company and started with a blank slate, so it’s not necessarily as easy for other types of company. But there is no way we could operate at the efficiency we do without it.

So before you commit to an expensive new initiative, ask: “Is there an AI tool or agent that could do this for me?”. The answer is normally yes.

Remember – once you’ve automated a process it stays automated forever!"

"I've hired 76 software engineers in Brazil (and interviewed hundreds more).

We expended huge amounts of time, money and brain damage finding the right people for our remote Brazilian team. 90% of them were roughly the same profile – the "Swiss Army Knife" full stack developer who could plug into our stack and start pushing code with minimal onboarding.

If we'd had a tool like Lucy, I think we'd have moved twice as quickly and saved north of $250,000 in job ads, recruiters fees and internal resource.

With Lucy, I just describe my ideal candidate profile and she finds me hundreds of more-or-less perfect options. Then I get her to reach out to the top 10% to see if they're open to work with an interview booking link.

Interviews with interested, qualified candidates then just start magically appearing in our calendars. It would have been a game-changer for us."

They flash crashed it about 30 mins ago, they're hunting for stops, looks like someone just got taken out may be.

They will get taken out before then if they have the tech that others want. AI is fast moving, and acquisitions by the bigger boys who haven't got the time or inclination to develop it themselves, are on the increase. Time is money! AI waits for no one, it's fast moving, and everyone in business needs it, or get left behind and let your competitors who have got it, rule the roost, take your business, and your profits.

Morning Popeye, hope you are having a grand time in port :)

Change broker then, unless you work for them, then change broker anyway!

From the first link;

"By taking over repetitive and potentially hazardous tasks, AI frees up employees to focus on strategic initiatives that drive business value."

This is what Ewan has referred to in his interview end of last year with Stock Box.

From The Economist if you have a sub.

I think Ewan has mentioned about this, about AI becoming multi-lingual

"we have a very high margin product"

Softbank issued this about the transaction on 1 April 2025;

"With the center of the “Information Revolution” having evolved from personal computers, the Internet, and broadband to smartphones, it has now entered a new phase led by artificial intelligence (AI). In this context, SBG has declared its mission to realize Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) for the advancement of humanity.

Recognizing OpenAI as the partner closest to achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), a key milestone on the path to ASI, and its mission of ensuring AGI benefits all of humanity, SBG has positioned OpenAI as its most important partner and invested USD 2.2 billion in total through SoftBank Vision Fund 2 since September 2024.

The advancement of OpenAI’s AI models is key to achieving AGI and ASI, and massive computing power is essential. To that end, SBG has announced the “Stargate Project” together with OpenAI on January 21, 2025, to build dedicated AI infrastructure for OpenAI in the United States.

In alignment with this initiative, and to both further support OpenAI’s growth and capture the benefits of that growth in SBG’s NAV (Net Asset Value: calculated as equity value of holdings – adjusted net interest-bearing debt), SBG has decided to make follow-on investments in OpenAI."

Just imagine if Cykel can capture someone such as Softbank for VC purposes? Can the boys at Cykel do it?

Refers to Open AI at the beginning of the you tube interview with Stock Box entitled 'Cykel AI driving growth by unlocking the Power of AI Agents'.

Open AI at the end of March 2025 announced the following;

"Today we’re announcing new funding—$40 billion at a $300 billion post-money valuation, which enables us to push the frontiers of AI research even further, scale our compute infrastructure, and deliver increasingly powerful tools for the 500 million people who use ChatGPT every week.

We’re excited to be working in partnership with SoftBank Group—few companies understand how to scale transformative technology like they do. Their support will help us continue building AI systems that drive scientific discovery, enable personalized education, enhance human creativity, and pave the way toward AGI that benefits all of humanity."

Ewan refers to this raise as huge and states that Cykel is very early in this industry - do listen. Do the Cykel boys think we're going to go this far early on?
