Smart Money Dossier November 19—November 26, 2025

Anna's Smart Money Dossier

Just facts, you think for yourself

It usually happens quietly.

The wire transfer clears, the press release is buried late on a Friday, and the retail investor—the one reading the headlines three weeks late—is left holding the bag. But if you know where to look, the "Smart Money" leaves footprints. Massive, undeniable footprints.

This week, those footprints led somewhere unexpected.

While the rest of the market is chasing the same three tech stocks, a syndicate of the world’s most sophisticated investors—including a trading firm known for never losing—quietly poured roughly $700 million into a sector that most people think is dead. It’s not AI chips. It’s not crypto. It is a technology that has been shunned for decades, yet suddenly, the smartest minds in finance are betting the house on it.

And that was just the beginning of the week.

In this edition of The Dossier, we are tracking a distinct shift in the wind. We aren't looking at "apps" or "consumer tech." We are seeing a sudden, violent rotation of capital into "Hard Tech."

We are talking about AI that doesn't just write poetry, but actually reasons like a mathematician—a startup that just attracted the founder of Robinhood and the capital of Sequoia. We are seeing a biotech firm, led by a founder who already sold his last company for $2.7 billion, quietly gathering the resources to do it again.

But it’s not all gold.

Part of our job is to tell you when the water is getting too hot. There is a specific "preventive health" company that just raised nearly $300 million. The valuation is sky-high, and the investor list reads like a Hollywood red carpet—Matt Damon, Magic Johnson, Zac Efron.

When we see movie stars replacing macro-economists on the cap table, our alarm bells ring. We dig into the numbers to tell you if this is the future of medicine, or just another exercise in vanity metrics.

The signals below represent over $1 billion in fresh capital deployed in just the last few days. Most people will read about these trends in The Wall Street Journal six months from now.

You can read about them right now.
