Well, we got (tentative) answers to two important questions. When is the AI bubble going to pop? Answer: this is as good a time as ever. Wall Street Journal : OpenAI has raised less than half of the $30 billion it had initially targeted for its latest funding round, with market jitters over the AI trade dampening investor appetite for one of the industry’s biggest names. After receiving tepid interest from some large investors…

The Odyssey cruise ship, tied up in Cambodia. Source: Getty Images Friday, October 30th, 2026 Bill Bonner, from Ardmore, Ireland This is a morality tale. Or a financial lesson. Or a lifestyle warning. Or just a jolly sea story. You decide. You pay $350,000 for a cabin on a ship that is meant to travel the globe. It intends to visit 147 countries in three years, the cruise of a lifetime. You’re not just taking a holiday; you are going to make your new life on the ship. You join the party in Vietnam. You find your cabin and prepare for much-awaited retirement bliss. The ship puts out to sea and…

- Doomsday Prospectus
Wednesday, October 28th, 2026 Bill Bonner, from Ardmore, Ireland ‘ Oh, and by the way...it could be the end of all life as we know it .’ ‘ But don’t bother coming after us. We warned you .’ That was the gist of perhaps the strangest disclosure ever issued by a company preparing an IPO. Normally, disclosures are written by lawyers who cover every possibility but with the pizzazz of instructions on how to use your new vacuum cleaner. But in this case, the warnings are so apocalyptic...we can scarcely wait to see what happens. The company is Anthropic. Its stock-in-trade is AI. And it could kill…

Source: Getty Images Tuesday, October 27th, 2026 Bill Bonner, from Ardmore, Ireland This is the third day of stormy weather. Blow, ye wind. Crack, ye thunder. The rain comes in horizontally from the Atlantic. The mist engulfs everything. The trees bend, including a couple that we just planted; they will need to be staked and tied down, given lifelines, like sailors in a squall. It is deliciously gloomy.
