Jordan, Shay Boloor, and Michael Nauss, CMT dig into the week’s wild action: why small caps keep ripping despite record short interest, the CRISPR/biotech re-rating (and what just lit a fire under $NTLA), and how Tesla’s pivot to physical AI (robotaxi + Optimus + megapacks) could reset the narrative. We also hit stage-two AI winners (apps > infra), the “big base → high in space” playbook, 2026 cycle risks, and whether $OPEN’s story is more than a squeeze.
