1. $SPCX is the name of the day after the Starship test got scrubbed and the stock took a hit on it, with one trader posting 321k realized on SPCX puts. Right alongside that, a DD thread argues $GOOGL's 7/22 print could show a GAAP EPS beat well above the $2.89 estimate because its SpaceX stake is marking up. Two sides of the same trade: SpaceX pain on one end, a paper gain flowing through Google's books on the other. Still just theory-crafting until Tuesday's number actually prints.

2. $AAPL leapfrogged $NVDA as the most valuable company on the board and the crowd's arguing both sides of it. One meme's asking if the software bottom is in, another thread wants full port AI buys because 'it's basically 1998 again,' and a third is betting Nvidia gets adopted by pension funds once Google and Meta report this month. Reads more like a rotation story than a bubble popping so far, but worth watching who's actually right once the earnings hit.

3. Front page's thick with capitulation again: 480k down YTD on SPY 0DTEs, a trader 'screwed for life' chasing losses into more 0DTEs, another who turned a good year into a 10% two-week bleed selling puts on margin. Meanwhile Truth Social's rolling out a paid 'Truth API' giving banks fastest access to Trump's posts, so the algos get a head start on the next Donald Pump before retail does. Mood's fearful and numb right now, not euphoric, this is capitulation vibes, not FOMO.
