The strategy CNN management chose was silence. Just say nothing, and hope the controversy fades away.

 It's been almost 10 days since Fauci diary entries revealed that two of CNN's top anchors were private pals with the man they were supposed to be objectively covering.

 From "friendship building" dinner parties, backchanneling interview questions, to texting insults about Republicans, none of it has been addressed by Tapper, Bash, Stelter or anyone else at CNN.

 Just pretend like it never happened.

 And to many people who aren't on 𝕏 or don't consume right-leaning media — it never did.

  One margin call just crushed Coatue’s top AI bets 15 to 29 percent.

   The AI trade is one crowded, levered position wearing four different tickers.

Coatue, Philippe Laffont’s $90 billion tech fund, fell 8.3% in July, its worst month in over a year. Its four biggest bets all cratered the same month: TSMC and GE Vernova down more than 15%, Lam Research and Applied Materials down more than 29%.

The slide got worse when another fund, Situational Awareness, dumped its stock portfolio to Citadel to meet margin calls. Forced selling in the same names hits everyone who holds them.

When leverage is packed into a handful of AI and chip stocks, one fund’s margin call becomes your drawdown. Own the AI leaders and you own the whole crowd’s leverage.
