=== SUMMARY ===

- Thesis: top tech CEOs and their well-paid analysts know exactly what they are doing; circular financing is an intentional strategy, not just a hidden stock/earnings pump.
- Quality: Speculation/opinion, not well-researched DD. No data, no specific tickers, relies on appeal to executive competence.

- One commenter notes that repeated discussion normalizes "circular financing," making it easier for companies to keep doing it without spooking investors.
- A shared article highlights Microsoft's ~$60B commitments with CoreWeave, Nebius, and Nscale booked as operating expenses, concentrating counterparty risk in ways traditional balance-sheet analysis may miss.
