Nvidia will buy back $80B in stock ~$111B AUD. All but five companies on the ASX are worth less than that.
Just remember lads, you are trading on an exchange that 1 US company could devour. It’s all meaningless, go for broke

This is for the boss who pays my wages.
Sinner completes the Golden masters, clean sweep, Sinner Slam. Whatever the fuck you wanna call it.
Second man to win every masters across his career. Ticked off at the age of 24. Kudos. Only Novak has done this before, not even Nadal or Federer as done that.
We should savour and enjoy this while we can. We are watching history.
Each year we all do the same thing. Wait until early to mid June, look at our portfolio and see what dross we are holding that’s in the red and sell it to realise some losses for tax season. Well guess what, it’s not just you degens doing this, it’s institutional investors doing that too.
So, what companies can you see falling further in the next 4-6 weeks due to tax loss selling?
What crap is going to be even more in the crap by June 30 (and then rebound come July 1)

She had such a strong 2025 but her form this year is horrid. Hasn’t won a match since January is on track to lose again tonight to American Ann Li.

Yikes. Going back to Shanghai last year
Can Ruud break the streak tonight?
My Fantasy team hopes so
WTA SINGLES FINAL
Elina Svitolina [7] def. Coco Gauff [3] — 6-4, 6-7(3), 6-2
A match of three very different sets across nearly three hours. Gauff started the sharper of the two, breaking immediately and racing to 4-2 in the first set before Svitolina reeled off four straight games to take it 6-4.
The second set was a war of attrition, Gauff fending off break point after break point on her serve before edging a tiebreak 7-3 to level the match.
The decider was one-sided. Svitolina broke at 2-2 and again at 4-2, winning the set 6-2 and taking the title. The 31-year-old Ukrainian wins her third Rome title, her 20th career WTA title, and her first WTA 1000 trophy since lifting this same trophy in 2018. Gauff loses in the Rome final for the second consecutive year, having beaten Svitolina here in 2025 before losing to Jasmine Paolini. Gauff converted just three of 21 break points on the day and committed seven double faults, her serve letting her down at the worst moments. Both players head to Roland Garros in strong form, Gauff as defending champion, Svitolina with enormous momentum.
ATP SINGLES — SEMI-FINAL RESUMPTION
Jannik Sinner [1] def. Daniil Medvedev [7] — 6-2, 5-7, 6-4
Sinner returned to Campo Centrale needing just two games to close out the suspended semi-final, and he did exactly that without fuss. The match had resumed from 4-2 in the third set, with Medvedev serving at advantage-40. Sinner held his nerve, converted when needed and wrapped it up to set up a Sunday final against Casper Ruud. The win extends his ATP Masters 1000 winning streak to 33 matches. One more victory on Sunday would make him only the second man after Novak Djokovic to win all nine Masters 1000 titles, completing the Career Golden Masters on home soil.

Jannik Sinner [1] vs Casper Ruud — Campo Centrale, not before 3:00pm CEST
Sinner bids to win Rome for the first time, completing the Career Golden Masters and extending his streak to 34 consecutive Masters 1000 wins. Ruud arrives having dropped just six games across his two matches this week. He beat Darderi 6-1, 6-1 in the semi and has been the most consistent player of the fortnight outside of Sinner. They have met nine times, with Sinner leading 7-2 head-to-head. Ruud has never beaten Sinner on clay.

How many do you think you can name?
One of the more lively debates on this weeks Talkn Tennis Podcast was Adrian stating Sinner is a bore and wouldn’t wanna have a beer with him off-court.
In Australia, how we decide whether we like someone is whether you would have a beer with him. Adrian would rather hang out with Medvedev of everyone in the top 20.
I’d personally like to hang out with Darderi as I’m a big espresso drinker and I’m substituting beer for espresso in this example.
Who are you hanging out with off-court if you had the choice?

ATP RESULTS
Casper Ruud [23] def. Luciano Darderi [18] — 6-1, 6-1
A ruthless display from Ruud, completed in just 65 minutes. The result was harsher than it sounds on paper, Darderi clearly carrying the physical toll of a gruelling week that included a 2am quarter-final finish against Jodar and three taxing matches before that.
Ruud was clinical throughout, controlling the baseline with minimal errors and giving the home crowd very little to cheer. The Norwegian reaches his fourth Masters 1000 final and becomes the first player to complete the full set of clay-court Masters 1000 finals, having now reached the final at Monte Carlo, Madrid and Rome. He awaits the winner of Sinner vs Medvedev on Sunday.
Jannik Sinner [1] vs Daniil Medvedev [7] — SUSPENDED, leads 6-2, 5-7, 4-2
A match of two very different halves. Sinner dominated the opening set 6-2 in just 33 minutes, winning 92% of points on first serve and breaking twice in the opening three games. The second set was a different story. Medvedev, the first player to take a set off Sinner at this tournament, levelled through a hard-fought second set, aided by visible signs of fatigue from the world No. 1, who was bending over between points and struggling to recover physically.
Sinner took a medical timeout at 3-2 in the deciding set, which Medvedev publicly contested to the chair umpire. Despite the physical concerns, Sinner broke for 4-2 in the third and was two games from the final when heavy rain ended play at 9:45pm local time. Medvedev was serving at advantage-40 when play was called off.
The fitness question is the key subplot heading into the resumption, with Sinner having now played six consecutive Masters 1000 tournaments and showing the strain for the first time.
Resumes Saturday at 3:00pm CEST. Sinner needs two games, Medvedev needs to hold and break.

Darderi loves an espresso mid match. Not sure if this is a Rome thing or he espressos it up mid match all year round?

ATP RESULTS
Jannik Sinner [1] def. Andrey Rublev [14] — 6-2, 6-4
Sinner was dominant from the first game, breaking immediately and never allowing Rublev to settle into rallies. The Italian's first-serve percentage of 63.5% to Rublev's 59% proved decisive on a surface where extra first balls prevent opponents building momentum. The win was Sinner's 32nd consecutive victory at ATP Masters 1000 level, surpassing Novak Djokovic's all-time record at the highest tier of the tour below Grand Slams. He now faces Medvedev in the semi-final on Friday.
Daniil Medvedev [7] def. Martin Landaluce (LL) — 1-6, 6-4, 7-5
One of the matches of the tournament. Landaluce, a lucky loser who has not dropped a set all week int he main draw, dismantled Medvedev in the first set, winning it 6-1 in just 22 minutes. A 14-minute rain delay in the second set disrupted the Spaniard's rhythm at a critical moment, and Medvedev seized the shift, levelling at one set all. In the decider, Landaluce led and held three match points at 5-4 before Medvedev produced a stunning backhand return winner to break back, going on to take five of the final seven games and close out 7-5. It was Medvedev's 50th career clay-court win at tour level and his 18th Masters 1000 semi-final. Landaluce leaves Rome ranked approximately 32 places higher than when he arrived, having entered as a lucky loser and reached the quarter-finals.
WTA RESULTS
Coco Gauff [3] def. Sorana Cirstea — 6-4, 6-3
Gauff dealt professionally with Cirstea, who had been one of the stories of the tournament after eliminating world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka earlier in the week. Gauff's serve was significantly improved, with 79% of first serves landing and only one double fault. She advances to her second consecutive Rome final, where she will face either Swiatek or Svitolina. Cirstea, who has announced she will retire at the end of the season, leaves Rome having produced some of the best tennis of her career at age 36.
Iga Swiatek [4] vs Elina Svitolina [7] — Match Still On Going
Tied 1 set all at the time of writing.
FRIDAY SEMI-FINALS — ORDER OF PLAY
Ruud vs Darderi is the standout storyline. Darderi has been the player of the tournament, eliminating Zverev in the round of 16 and surviving an extraordinary 2am finish against Jodar in the quarters. Ruud is a clay-court specialist and three-time Roland Garros finalist. They have never played each other before. Whoever wins goes into Sunday's final as the crowd favourite, particularly Darderi with the home Italian support behind him.
Sinner vs Medvedev is their 17th meeting, with Sinner leading 9-7 in head-to-heads. Notably, they have never played each other on clay before. Medvedev has shown he can win on the surface at this tournament having done so in 2023, but Sinner is in the form of his life.
ATP MEN'S QUARTER-FINALS
Luciano Darderi [18] def. Rafael Jodar [32] — 7-6(5), 5-7, 6-0
Casper Ruud def. Karen Khachanov [7] — 6-1, 1-6, 6-2
DARDERI'S WEEK
This result doesn't exist in isolation. Earlier in the tournament Darderi beat World No. 3 Alexander Zverev in the round of 16, saving four match points in a second-set tiebreak before bagelling him 6-0 in the third. That was already the upset of the clay season. He's now backed it up with a 2am war against one of the most exciting teenagers on tour. His first Masters 1000 semi-final, and he's earned every inch of it.
