To The Moon

I'm picking Netherlands.

Spain feels like the most structurally complete team. They don’t rely on moments, they control games, and that tends to scale well in a 48-team format with more fixtures. If I had to play the theme, $Flutter Entertainment PLC(FLUT)$ and $DraftKings Inc.(DKNG)$ are basically the “event exposure” trade rather than a team-specific bet. 3am matches are officially a “depends how important it is” situation.

I’m leaning toward France. In tournaments like this, squad depth and bench impact matter more than hype, and France probably has the strongest overall roster profile. From a market angle, $DraftKings Inc.(DKNG)$ and $Flutter Entertainment PLC(FLUT)$ benefit less from who wins and more from how many people are watching and betting globally. Sleep-wise… I’ll probably “intentionally ignore” a few group stage matches

I’m going slightly left field with Brazil. If their attack clicks, they don’t need to dominate possession or structure games the way Europe does. In knockout football, moments matter more than systems. On stocks, I’d still look at $Flutter Entertainment PLC(FLUT)$ as the steadier long-term beneficiary of global betting demand, with $DraftKings Inc.(DKNG)$ more tied to sentiment swings. Sleep schedule? Fully unplanned at this point.

I’m backing France for this one. Tournament football rewards depth, and they’ve got options everywhere on the pitch. Spain is the quiet danger, but France just feels more complete across 90 minutes. I’d still lean into $DraftKings Inc.(DKNG)$ and $Flutter Entertainment PLC(FLUT)$ as the “volume plays” rather than trying to pick the winner. Big tournaments are about activity, not accuracy. And yes, I’ll pretend I can handle 3am matches… until reality hits in week one.

I’m going with Spain on this one. Too balanced, too controlled, and in a tournament like this, that usually beats pure chaos. France is the danger as always, but Spain just feels like they’ve got fewer weak links this cycle. For the “bet on the chaos” angle, I’d lean into the volatility plays rather than the outcome itself $DraftKings Inc.(DKNG)$ and $Flutter Entertainment PLC(FLUT)$ tend to benefit no matter who lifts the trophy, since it’s more about volume than predicting winners. As for the 3am alarm… I’ll say yes now, and regret it during the group stage when the third “must watch” match kicks off at 2:45am 😅

I called Japan, because they did well, very well in fact, to qualify for the world cup. Even taking down England, who were improving under Tuchel. After all everyone loves an underdog winning it all. It is nice that the 2nd game of the WC (Korea Czechia) was 10am Shanghai Time And no, no way I am investing with relation to football or world cup.

🌟🌟🌟World Cup Fever is here.  It will be sleepless nights watching my favourite teams play their best.  I believe that France will hoist the trophy.  It was an absolute heartbreak last World Cup as they finished 2nd to Argentina. France has a great lineup with Captain Kylian Mbappe.  His terrifying explosive acceleration allows him to slice through world class defensive lines in the blink of an eye.  Allez Les Bleus! When it comes to betting the winners, 2 companies will benefit: $Flutter Entertainment PLC(FLUT)$ & $DraftKings Inc.(DKNG)$ .  Flutter has the edge over Draft Kings as Flutter is a global empire.  They own FanFuel in the US, PaddyPower & Skybet in

Support Team France

The 2026 World Cup kicks off — the biggest ever. 48 teams, 104 matches, co-hosted by the U.S., Canada and Mexico, running June 11 to July 19. It's also shaping up as one of the largest sports-betting events in history, with global wagers projected near $50 billion.

First, the bad news for the home crowd. No Southeast Asian team made it this time. Indonesia got the closest it ever has in qualifying and still came up short, and Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore never got near. Asia's flag is carried by 9 AFC teams instead: Japan, South Korea, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Australia, plus first-timers Jordan and Uzbekistan. So for most of us, this one's about picking a side on vibes, not passports.

Portugal ftw! Siuuuuuu

Sports betting companies 

$DKNG $ABNB $BKNG The real winner of the 2026 World Cup may not be the team lifting the trophy, but the companies benefiting from the event. With an estimated $50 billion in global wagers and millions of fans travelling across the U.S., Canada and Mexico, I see potential tailwinds for: ✅ DraftKings – Sports betting activity ✅ Airbnb – Accommodation demand ✅ Booking Holdings – Travel bookings As for the Nasdaq “World Cup Curse”, I think it’s more correlation than causation. Eight tournaments are not enough data points to build an investment strategy around. I’m staying focused on fundamentals and using any volatility as an opportunity to accumulate quality companies. Which stock do you think benefits the most from the 2026 World Cup?

The World Cup kicks off on June 11, and every time it comes around, someone digs up that old “curse” chart: over the past eight World Cups, the Nasdaq fell during five of them, with an average return of -1.2%. The measurement window is from the close before the opening match to the close of the first trading day after the final $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ - 1994, United States: -1.7% - 1998, France: +9.2% - 2002, Korea/Japan: -13.1% - 2006, Germany: -1.3% - 2010, South Africa: -0.9% - 2014, Brazil: +2.5% - 2018, Russia: +1.4% - 2022, Qatar: -5.4% So it’s 5 down, 3 up. More red than green. But once you look at the backdrop, the story is obvious: 2002 was still dealing with the aftermath of the dot-com bust, 2022 was hit by the Fed’s aggressive

The World Cup "curse" is real. But it is probably not what you think it is. The data is clear. Over past World Cup tournaments, trading volume in major stock indexes during knockout rounds fell dramatically. In the US, shares changing hands on the S&P 500 dropped more than 18% during match periods. The FTSE 100 saw a nearly 23% decline. Germany's DAX fell 33%. Markets do not crash during the World Cup. They just go quiet. And thin markets amplify volatility in both directions. The 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off June 11 with France leading implied tournament probability at 16.2%, narrowly ahead of Spain at 16.0%, Portugal at 11.3%, and England at 10.9%. Argentina, the defending champion, sits at 8.8%. Brazil at 8.3%. But forget the football predictions. Here is where the real money moves
