What stands out

Meta Platforms' move to sell excess AI compute briefly lit a match under the market, sending the Mag 7 name higher one day and erasing most of it the next, while smaller neoclouds like CoreWeave and Nebius took it on the chin. Schwab Network guests Joe Mazzola and Tom White used that volatility to sketch opposite options trades, which is useful because it shows how traders try to harvest sentiment around hyperscaler CapEx rather than the underlying revenue run rate. The clip is a reminder that monetizing AI capacity is now a strategic lever that can create outsized headline risk for both giants and specialists.
