I’m a fixed income advisor by day, a finance nerd by nature, and someone who genuinely loves making complex stuff easier to understand.

I’ve spent the last decade working with three large private banks in Switzerland, helping clients navigate bond markets, portfolio strategy, and global macroeconomic shifts. From building fixed income advisory platforms to advising UHNW clients globally, I’ve been lucky to work at the intersection of markets and people.

But there’s more to me than bonds.

I host The Blunt Dollar, a weekly podcast where I get to ask big questions to some of the smartest minds in finance. We delve into the human side of money, exploring the stories behind the strategies and what truly drives decisions in this industry.

I also teach finance courses, speak at industry events, and jump into creative side projects whenever I can. I believe finance doesn’t have to be dry or intimidating. It can be personal, curious, even fun if you tell it right. 💖

I’m especially fascinated by how AI is changing the game in finance, not just in portfolio construction and research, but in how we tell stories with data. I’m always exploring where human judgment and machine intelligence can work together.

Originally from Spain, I now live in Switzerland, having called eight countries home. I’m a CFA charterholder and hold two Master’s degrees. However, what really drives me is learning something new and sharing it in a way that sticks.

If you want to chat markets, fixed income, content creation, or throw around some random finance ideas, my DMs are always open.

P.S. I post daily about markets and all the weird and wonderful stuff happening in finance. If you're into money with a personality, hit follow. Expect charts, takes, and plenty of emojis along the way. 💸

Big Tech is betting $3 trillion that AI chips won't become worthless in 5 years.

And the depreciation tsunami heading their way could make the dot-com crash look quaint.

Think about it.

Hyperscalers are dropping $400 billion THIS YEAR on GPUs that age on dog years.

Unlike railroads or fiber optic cables from previous booms, these chips have a shelf life of maybe 5 years. 

The accounting gymnastics are Olympic-level:

↳ Meta extends server life to 5.5 years (was 4)
↳ Instant $2 billion profit boost
↳ Meanwhile, rental rates for 2-year-old chips crashed 33%

CoreWeave says 6 years is "incredibly comfortable."
Nebius uses 4 years.
Scaleway thinks 3 is realistic.

Someone's lying to themselves.

And meanwhile, some private credit funds are using these rapidly depreciating GPUs as collateral.

Firms are lending billions against assets that could be worthless before the loans mature.

Legendary short-seller Michael Burry last week said the market is wrong.

Sure, these chips can be repurposed.

Older GPUs work fine for AI inference, less demanding tasks, or emerging markets.

Google claims their 7-year-old TPUs still have "100% utilization."

But that's like saying your 2017 iPhone still works. Technically true. Competitively dead.

The brutal math nobody wants to discuss:

Today: $400 billion capex
2029: $3 trillion total investment
Depreciation by 2027: $240 billion annually

That's not a one-time cost. It's EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR.

Amazon already reversed course: back to 5-year depreciation from 6. They see "increased pace of technology development."

Translation: Our old assumptions were fantasy.

My two cents: This only works if AI revenues explode AND productivity gains are massive AND companies can afford perpetual upgrades.

Otherwise? We're financing the most expensive hamster wheel in history.

The dot-com bubble at least left us fiber optic cables we still use.

This bubble might leave us warehouses full of obsolete silicon.

Is this the infrastructure investment that defines the next century, or the biggest misallocation of capital we've ever seen?

And the question keeping me up at night:

What happens if hyperscaler CFOs realize they've been playing accounting games with assets that depreciate like bananas?

What's your take?

The entire market just exhaled because one company didn't miss.

Nvidia posted $57bn revenue (beat by $2bn).

Shares popped 5%. Asian markets jumped 3.7%. Tech stocks rallied.

Think about that.

A single earnings call just shifted trillions in global market cap.

Not because of some breakthrough. Just because Jensen Huang said demand is still strong.

The dependency is getting uncomfortable:

↳ Nvidia sneezes, SPY catches pneumonia
↳ Blackwell ships on time, everything surges
↳ Huang mentions supply constraints, tech stocks crater

We've built a global equity market that swings on one company's GPU production schedule.

Remember when markets cared about Fed meetings? GDP prints? Employment data?

Now it's just: "What did Jensen say?" 😅

The problem is that when a $4.5 trillion company becomes the market's mood ring, we're not really diversified.. we're just pretending.

the AI bubble anxiety disappeared overnight.

Not because fundamentals changed. Not because new buyers emerged.

But because one CEO said the right words on a Wednesday afternoon.

Markets used to fear central banks. Now they fear semiconductor supply chains.

So here's what I'm wondering:

Is this the new normal? One company dictating global market sentiment?

What happens when Nvidia finally disappoints? Do we get a 2000-style contagion?
