These UAE chips going directly to China

gamjatang111

Not sure if I agree with that analogy. Using the example of stargate in Texas, OpenAI is using it. META has Hyperion in Louisiana. Think data centers build out is like the hoover dam. It is a infrastructure project, jobs are being created, suppliers are being paid and electricity is being used. The government and foreign money has a hand in it (Think Softbank, UAE, Qatar, Saudi) The economic activity is there, whether or not it pays off remains to be seen. The problem is a lack of supply atm. Could we overbuilt, surely. The point is data centers are being build and utilized, credit remains very cheap, if any kind of unwind happens, it likely wont happen anytime soon, especially with midterms next year.

US Approves Some Nvidia UAE Sales In Step of Trump AI Diplomacy The US has approved several billion dollars worth of [Nvidia Corp](https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/NVDA:US). chip exports to the United Arab Emirates

Before the heavy restrictions on China, Nvidia was only making around $5b/quarter from the Chinese market And yet now that Nvidia has permission to sell to UAE, a market literally 1/1000th that of China’s, the market cap is up by $100 billion Absolute clown market.

Shitmybad

That's the point. The Trumps founded it and owned all the original coins, the UAE "invested" in it with $100M and pumped the price, and the Trumps sold all their "coins" and took that money.

those UAE data centers are primarily geared towards Chinese users

SMASH BUY REGARDS! If UAE can get NVDA to pump premarket STRAIGHTUP TO THE FUKIN RIGHT... There are a shit ton more countries on the lvl 2 chip control export list that HAVE MONEY!

OpenAI Needs More Than A Trillion Dollars ($500bn in operational expenses and at Least Another $625bn-$800bn+ for data centers), And There Is Not Enough Private and Venture Capital To Pay For It At no point is anyone asking how, exactly, OpenAI builds data centers to fill full of these GPUs. In fact, I am genuinely shocked (and a little disgusted!) by how poorly this story has been told. Let’s go point by point: $10 billion is not enough for OpenAI to build a data center: The 1.1GW Abilene Texas data center being built by Oracle and Crusoe for OpenAI required $15 billion in debt, and that’s not including the $40 billion of chips needed to power it, though I question whether all of them are going into Abilene (I’ll get to that later). In my premium article, I estimated that a 1GW data center costs $32.5bn and takes 2.5 years to complete. That might be generous. Matt Britzman, a Senior Equity Analyst with Hargreaves Landsdown says that each gigawatt of capacity generates $50bn of revenue for Nvidia. If correct, this would mean that a 1GW facility could cost perhaps as much as $75bn, or even more, when taking into account the other costs, like hardware, land, construction costs, permitting, the power infrastructure that said facility requires, and more. One thing that puts the figure closer to that which I estimated is the price of a proposed 1GW facility, co-funded by France and the UAE, which is expected to cost between $30bn and $50bn. Last week, Shirin Ghaffary of Bloomberg published an article that quoted unnamed OpenAI executives where they claimed a 1GW facility costs roughly $50bn, with $35bn going exclusively to Nvidia’s chips. Either way you cut it, $10bn is nowhere near enough. OpenAI Cannot Afford To Pay For Everything It Has Promised: OpenAI will burn $115 billion in the next 4 years according to The Information, but I believe the company intentionally leaked those numbers before the announcement of its $300 billion deal with Oracle, and the subsequent deal with Nvidia. In fact, OpenAI’s compute costs and promised data center expansion amount to more than a trillion dollars, with $750 billion of that mostly the cost of compute, meaning OpenAI will need actual real money to pay for it. If the $50bn-per-gigawatt figure cited by OpenAI’s execs is accurate, OpenAI will need to spend $500bn to create the 10GW of capacity required to unlock the promised $100bn from Nvidia. Even if the true figure is closer to my estimate of $35bn-per-gigawatt, OpenAI is on the hook for $325bn — or has to find partners to finance that construction. Either way, $325 is money that it does not have. That figure also includes OpenAI’s $19bn commitment to the Coreweave project, it planned $41bn in spending on Microsoft Azure by the end of 2028, the $22.4bn worth of business promised Coreweave, and the yet-unknown cost of renting Google’s compute, including that powered by its TPU chips. I also haven’t mentioned OpenAI’s other Stargate-related projects, including Stargate UK (1GW, so likely costing between $32.5bn and $50bn, or perhaps more), Stargate Norway (which has at least $6bn in GPUs), Stargate UAE (a 200MW facility that’ll scale to 1GW, so, again, anywhere between $32.5bn and $50bn), and Stargate India (another 1GW facility costing anywhere between $32.5 and $50bn). Although OpenAI has partners that are funding the upfront cost of those facilities (like Nscale, G25, Cisco, Nvidia, and Softbank), said funding likely is based on the assumption — or the requirement — that it actually uses that compute. It’s also unclear whether OpenAI’s partners will fund all of these developments, or just a significant chunk of them, with OpenAI on the hook for a chunk of it. Even if it’s just a small chunk, a small chunk of a (for the sake of argument) $50bn facility is still a lot of money. I also haven’t mentioned OpenAI’s planned $100bn spending spree on backup capacity. It’s unclear whether that figure is factored into the aforementioned spending, or something totally different, but based on what I’ve read, I’m leaning towards it being yet another cost that OpenAI almost certainly can’t bear. OpenAI Is Still Yet To Convert To A For-Profit, And Must Do So By End Of Year Or Will Lose $20 Billion In Funding From SoftBank: A few weeks ago, Microsoft and OpenAI co-published an announcement that they had “signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding for the next phase of their partnership,” which the media quickly took to mean a deal was done. No deal has been done. This is literally an announcement of nothing. Failing to convert will also see previous equity investments transform into loans that need to be paid back, with brutal interest rates to boot. Venture Capital Will Run Out At The Current Rate of Investment In Six Quarters, And OpenAI Needs More Investment Than Ever: The Information recently published some worrying data from venture capitalist Jon Sakoda — that “at today’s clip, the industry would run out of money in six quarters,” adding that the money wouldn’t run out until the end of 2028 if it wasn’t for Anthropic and OpenAI. In a very real sense, OpenAI threatens the future of available capital for the tech industry.

If you read between the lines, Joby has to hype every maneuver because they’re further from proving business model viability. Archer is flexing contracts with the Air Force, UAE, and Olympics. Their lack of a flashy booth doesn’t matter. When institutions are buying in heavy, you follow the money not the mockup

Analyst Ratings for Ocean Power Technologies ($OPTT) You’re spot on—recent analyst coverage has been a bright spot amid the Musk/DOGE rumors and OPTT’s defense backlog growth. While coverage remains light for this micro-cap (typical for penny stocks under $100M market cap), there are two Buy ratings from established firms in 2025, both pointing to strong upside potential tied to OPTT’s AI-enabled maritime tech and international contracts (e.g., UAE expansions and U.S. Navy Project Overmatch). These aren’t from the mega-banks like Goldman or JPM, but from reputable mid-tier firms with solid track records in small-cap/energy/defense sectors. Here’s the breakdown: The Two Buy Ratings 1. Ladenburg Thalmann (September 24, 2025) • Rating: Buy • Price Target: $1.50 (implies ~165% upside from recent close ~$0.56) • Key Rationale: Analyst Glenn Mattson highlighted OPTT’s “transformative potential” in autonomous ocean systems, citing the 184% YoY backlog surge to $18M+, UAE partnerships for unmanned vessels, and AI upgrades to Merrows™ for maritime domain awareness. They see it as undervalued in the growing “blue economy” and defense efficiency space—perfect fodder for Musk’s DOGE cuts to legacy spending. Ladenburg is a NYC-based boutique with a strong small-cap focus; their energy/tech calls have beaten benchmarks by ~12% annually over the last 5 years (per TipRanks data). 2. Alliance Global Partners (January 7, 2025) • Rating: Buy (initiation of coverage) • Price Target: $1.50 (similar ~165% upside)

We've been doing that every 10 yrs. Have to do it soon as the population is aging and the birth rates are negative. The ones that are of age for war are not fit for it. Too soft and the engineered food wrecked their bodies. No motivation aswell. At least 911 gave a national motive. Munitions need to be moved out and rotated. Most going to Ukraine, UAE, trade partners.

> I guess the only difference is in the UAE it's someone elses citizens. I like how on this website you can mention something that completely negates the point you were trying to make yourself and still get upvotes lol. Anything that matches the general opinion, I suppose. The Chinese certainly do not think they’ll get rich _quick_ by working hard. They’re just trying to keep up. The UAE doesn’t promise its citizens riches by working hard either. Its citizens are already wealthy, as you yourself negated your own point lol FWIW I don’t believe the American Dream was about getting rich _quick_ by working hard either.

storyatstudio

That Pacific Coast curve is wild - looks like tech’s resilience and maybe some startup-led recovery helped, especially after 2022. Taiwan and Hungary aren’t far behind, which is a great reminder to diversify internationally. Curious: is anyone here taking region into account for their allocation, or do you just stick to sector/style? I found that mixing some US growth with emerging markets (and a bit of the UAE for diversification) helped smooth my own equity curve. Wonder what everyone here thinks the next outperformer might be. Anyone shifting focus after this year’s run?

DepressedRaindrop

That’s one reason I like ACHR and not joby. Joby is rocking a market cap of 16b and archer a 6b. I think there’s a better risk reward with Archer. As far as the super high valuation, I guess they believe that ‘unlocking the skies’ will be a huge thing; basically creating a new highway in congested cities that bring a 1-2 hour trip down to 10-20 minutes. Between some major cities in the US, UAE utilizing them not only for commercial taxis but private use to bounce around from oil rig locations. I can agree the 20-30b by 2030 seems like a huge stretch. The reasons that I am invested in the sector is mainly my high tolerance for very volatile markets, the love of emerging technology and the knowledge of diffusion of innovation. I think with this eIPP program it could really spring eVTOL into a much faster acceptance rate by the FAA but there’s always that initial pushback of new technology, people just don’t like it, don’t trust it, wanna wait to utilize it. It goes, innovators (about 3%) the first ones in (in this case people who bought in around $3), the early adopters are about 14% and they work towards explaining and opinionating their stance to normalize it (I could be described as this), then the early majority (around 35%) are the ones who are skeptical but will wait until it’s actually in operations before getting in (you could potentially be described as this), then lastly the laggards (about 15%) of people who could see these taxis every day for a year above them but just don’t wanna use them (my grandma could be described as this lol). Just my take. I like the sector but I also like high risk and emerging technology. Even Brett Adcock (founder of Archer) has said MANY times that this is a sector that is super TOUGH and that almost all of them are unsuccessful but then says “just because it’s the hard work, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be doing it”… so the fact that Brett has even said since 2020 or earlier that it has a small chance of being successful, any investor should be very risk friendly.

Market rotation excuse is weak. If money leaves AI and tech cloud names, Archer is not in the same bucket. It’s speculative sure but it’s aerospace not cloud. Different crowd, different catalysts, Olympics and UAE test flights will still drive hype.

blindnessinwhiteness

Turkey is definitely risky, but that risk hasn’t translated into higher returns. The whole “mature market premium + country risk premium” framework just doesn’t line up with reality. For the last 25 years, Turkey hasn’t given you those kinds of returns. You can argue all night about whether Turkey deserves 5%, 8%, or even 10% ERP, but the market simply doesn’t deliver it. And it’s not just Turkey. I checked the UAE too, and the same story holds. For a lot of emerging markets, there’s just no clear link between higher risk and higher return. So maybe it’s time we look at country risk premium from a different angle. I don’t have a ready-made solution, but I’d really like to open up the discussion.

Are you a regard? UAE and Saudi are investing in AI and data center, nowhere did they say they will spend $1 Trillion on building it themselves in MENA. Also, who says 1000s of billions instead of trillion. Many of those money are going into US and EU tech industry. There is nowhere close to massive demands of computing in Mena alone.

You're very young for going dividends. Growth has been great and will continue until the AI boom is gone but safeguards aren't bad. Buying dirty cheap is always a win. I hold Berk.B 45%. Dividends in stable growing stocks are usually less than 5%. Look for stocks within the SCHD etf for those. Always consider market cycles. Currently, undervalued healthcare and energy stocks looks like a bargin. I like PFE for high dividends(7%) and growth potential. I also like foreign stocks like Vale(9%) and Petrobras(10%). I've been told UAE has real estate stocks(aldar, emaar), and banks with high growth and superior dividends. I think the UAE market will continues to grow so I would also get those. Diversify your portfolio.

There are very few lawyers who would know the relative merits of UAE vs Switzerland for domiciling a relatively small (but meaningful to me) investment. Crowdsourced advice is often a useful filter in the research process. There are often knowledgeable people on reddit. If you're offended for the reasons I'm leaving - I suppose that's something you'll need to grapple with. Possibly find a good therapist? I opened the discussion to find out what people have done. Ie. What country and why? What financial institution in that country? The same things you'd typically consider when deciding between JP Morgan and Fidelity for a brokerage account. I have both and they both have unique merits. I assume this is no different for UBS vs Saxa, but in this case there's an order of magnitude more options with a far more complex decision tree.

LMAO Oracle has been involved in several scandals, most notably two major incidents: one in the early 1990s related to aggressive sales practices that led to a major earnings restatement and a 1990s earnings restatement, and another in 2022 when the SEC charged Oracle for violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) due to bribery schemes and slush funds used by subsidiaries in Turkey, the UAE, and India.  This practice resulted in an overstatement of earnings when future sales failed to materialize, leading to the company having to restate its earnings twice and settle class-action lawsuits.

Benzinga12:10 PM ET Aug-27-2025 Grizzly Research is shorting electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft developer **Archer Aviation Inc. (ACHR.NaE)** , as the firm believes competitor **Joby Aviation Inc. (JOBY.NaE)** is a better bet in the eVTOL space. **What To Know:** Grizzly Research on Wednesday issued a bearish report on Archer Aviation (ACHR.NaE), calling the company “the Nikola of the skies.” The short seller argued Archer has built a strong reputation in the eVTOL space through misleading projections and press releases, which it believes is reminiscent of what Nikola did a few years ago. Benzinga has reached out to Archer Aviation (ACHR.NaE) for comment on the report. After conducting analysis with eVTOL engineers, Grizzly believes Archer’s Midnight aircraft is “fundamentally flawed and likely uncertifiable.” Archer said earlier this month that it had six Midnight aircraft in production, including three in final assembly. The company recently delivered its first Midnight aircraft to the UAE and commenced its flight test program in Abu Dhabi. Archer said it expects initial commercial payments later this year, but Grizzly is skeptical of the company’s progress. “Site visits to Archer's ‘state-of-the-art’ Covington, Georgia manufacturing facility in June, July and August 2025 showed little to no production activity. This comes despite claims of current production along with current scaling to production of 50 aircraft per year and a final goal of 650 aircraft per year with support from Stellantis,” the short seller wrote in the report. Furthermore, Grizzly alleged that Archer’s $6 billion order book is being inflated by fraudulent commitments, including Air Chateau’s MoU for 100 aircraft, which lacks the scale or funding for a fleet of that size, according to the short seller. Grizzly also highlighted a deal with Future Flight Global that is tied to a shell company with no operations and KakaoMobility’s commitment, which did not meet the deadline but is still reportedly included in the company’s backlog. Finally, Grizzly alleged that Archer’s “Launch Edition” aircraft was “nothing more than a staged hover” and said the company’s recent pivot to serve the defense industry is a “desperate attempt” to stay relevant in the eVTOL space. Meanwhile, Joby has made impressive progress “on all fronts.”

> It'd suck a lot more if the USD were devaluating and the stock market were putting in new lows. Just wait. US manufacturing is getting decimated due to tariffs. A nail factory in my state, where ironically, most of the employees voted for Trump, just shut down. They were sourcing steel from Mexico, which has a 25% tariff right now. Their former customers were now sourcing nails from China and the UAE, we have better tariff deals. 200 workers, out on the street. When they interviewed one of the workers who voted for Trump, they asked him what he was hoping for by voting for him. He answered “change”. He got it. More of it’s coming, so brace yourself.

anorakflakjacket

Did they mention about the deals with Humain / Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and European data centers? There were a bunch of those mentioned intermittently over the last few months, but I wasn't able to find any solid numbers behind them, or whether those projects proceeded. I know they had 18,000 Blackwell chips due out in the future, which is like, half a billion dollars. Not enough to counteract China, but definitely a solid start. Last I was able to tell, Humain was going to discuss permissions/regulations with the U.S. Government but had not yet done so. I would imagine these sales aren't yet covered in earnings/guidance either.

So maybe you should learn more about a topic before making claims then? Do you know why Turkish people choose to go to Europe now (and again we are talking about top few percent here), because they cant afford to vacation in Turkey anymore. Vacationing in Europe ends up being cheaper. Vacation spots in Turkey used to target foreign money from UAE mostly. mainly because TRY was so cheap but that is changing this year as prices are catching up with currency devaluation. The buildings you see are nice in facade. However there is no telling how they will survive the next earthquake. Also they are built by very cheap labor. Turkish economy has always been held up with construction under Erdogan since building new things is an easy way to say "see we are doing stuff". It doesnt mean fundamentals of economy is good though.

Midnight’s flight makes the bull case tangible. Suddenly those partnerships with United and the UAE don’t feel speculative. They feel like early stages of a rollout backed by working tech. That’s how narratives flip

Promising MENA company and has reported excellent earnings all year. The UAE and Saudi have been very diligent in bringing in new tourism and other technological developments. It has a ton of room to grow.

It's not us, it's the entire world buying it. UAE, Vietnam, have higher ownership rates than the US.

It's going to end up like the car industry, where the exact same products are 30-60% more expensive than the rest of the world, so consumers will hold on to their used stuff longer or contract new debt to get a new item. For comparison with a rich country, the average car in the US is about 13 years old, vs. 5 years old in the UAE. A new Toyota Camry is about 20-30% more expensive out-the-door in the US than in the UAE, where the median income is about 55% more than the American's ($62K vs. $40K). The cheapest new car in the US after taxes and fees is roughly $20-25K vs. $16K-17K in the UAE. But if you ask Americans, they think it's normal because they have absolutely no idea what's going on outside their borders, so don't expect riots over this. They'll keep comparing salaries in nominal amounts and think they're on top of the world, with their 13-year-old couch and their 10-year loan on their queen-size bed.

Ok real talk/welcome to my ted talk 🫠… I was you. I started investing at 14 (1994), I retired at 36 (2016). 0. Understand not everyone can be wealthy, but everyone gets a chance to manifest their destiny. Is this your chance? 1. Learn everything you can about finance and how an economy works. Example: Not just the American system, India, China, the UK, the Eurozone, etc. and other countries that have broken systems, Turkey, Greece, Venezuela, etc. 2. Understand the price of everything, in every context you can think of. Example: Think big, the relationship between the EURO and the USD and how it translates to and effects luxury goods purchases by wealthy UAE nationals living in London. Not so much housing vs mortgage rates. 3: Learn about yourself. You have to go deeper than you can comprehend. This is how you will start to form your understanding of risk tolerance. Example: How do you feel when you lend money and are not repaid. What do you feel when you lose at something. What do you feel when you lose something. How do you feel when you give money to others. What truly keeps you up at night. What makes you hurt emotionally that you don’t know how to share. 4. Go against the grain. If everyone is going left, it’s time to go right. Don’t think about the path that’s good now. Think about the path that seems silly today. Don’t be a fucking sheep. Example: Individual who became software engineers in the last few years are going to go through their careers with relatively stagnant incomes. AI is coming for those jobs and their employer has every reason to use AI over a qualified and perhaps superior human. 5. Now go learn about the stock market. How it works, why it works, what it means to society and to the future. Example: A. The market is not the economy. B. You can’t day trade your way to success. C. You can out preform the market at times without putting yourself in jeopardy. D. People will tell you C is wrong, they’re sheep who choose not to do the hard part, (again) don’t be a fucking sheep. 5. Most people who you will ask about investing only know what they have been told. They have done near zero exploration and thus have discovered very little. I’m going to stop here. I’m not a fan of down votes (see 3, lol) but I’m sure there are a lot coming. If you want more let me know.

Zelenskyy is pocketing $50M/month into his private UAE bank account from the aid moneys! He abolished the Ukrainian anti corruption department! This man’s corruption is unrelated to the war being bad. A better leader however would be able to more for Ukraine
