DEO 1ST XLP 1ST HRL 1ST EL 1ST INTC 1ST
Diageo long turnaround premiumization defensive
Diageo generates $3B free cash flow, has new management (Dave from Tesco) cutting costs and selling non-core assets, with double-digit growth in every region except the US (tequila issue being fixed via pre-made drinks). It is a defensive premiumization play where higher-margin, lower-volume drinking is the trend, and the stock will return to glory.
DEO LONG
Record low weight defensive sectors long
Defensive sectors (staples, healthcare, utilities) are at a record low weight in the S&P 500 (16% vs historical 35%), similar to the 2000 tech peak. This extreme underownership sets up for mean reversion as the Iran war resolves and the AI trade cools, driving money into out-of-favor defensives.
XLP LONG
Hormel long dividend growth turnaround
Hormel is a turnaround story with a 65-year dividend growth streak, a 6% yield, and recent earnings showing a return to growth and margin expansion across its protein-centric portfolio. It is out of favor and starting to turn the corner.
HRL LONG
Estee Lauder long online recovery
Estee Lauder has recovered from COVID lows (doubled off the bottom) and pulled back after a bad perfume deal. It is now shifting from mall/travel retail to online (TikTok Shop, Amazon), growing double digits there, and executing well again. The stock is starting to recover and is still early in the turnaround.
EL LONG
Intel short-term downside to $60
Intel, after being sold near $96-97 and rallying to $131, is now back around $100 and likely to fall to $60 in the near term before eventually recovering to $200. Government support is fading and the stock faces headwinds.
INTC AVOID
Advanced Auto Parts long target $150
Advanced Auto Parts sold its Canadian business, closed unprofitable stores, and under new CEO is back to growth and margin expansion. With the average car on the road at 14 years, the company is opening 35 stores this year. Hayes targets $150 per share, a triple from the current ~$50-60, based on prior operating margin levels.
AAP LONG
Alibaba long cheapest AI play
Alibaba is the cheapest way to play AI globally, holding equity stakes in Chinese AI startups (analogous to Amazon/Alphabet's stakes in Anthropic/SpaceX) that are not yet priced in. It benefits from a weak dollar and emerging market exposure, offering significant optionality at a low valuation.
BABA LONG
Long Treasuries on yield decline

Commodities in super cycle, all up.
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz due to the US-Israel war on Iran is supercharging the start of a commodity super cycle, with all commodity prices rising. Fertilizer shortages from the Gulf shutdown will reduce agricultural yields, further boosting food prices.
DBC LONG
Aluminum squeezed by Hormuz crisis.
Aluminum is the next commodity to be squeezed by the Hormuz crisis because a significant amount of aluminum production occurs in Gulf nations, and the Strait closure disrupts supply at the margin.
Aluminum LONG
10-year yield above 4.5% dangerous.
If the 10-year Treasury yield stays above 4.5% on a sustained basis, the bond vigilantes will emerge. Yields are driven by elevated inflation and the negative feedback loop of rolling over short-term debt at higher rates, squeezing the budget.

A confluence of factors—massive IPO lockup expirations (trillions in equity supply), stickier inflation removing Fed cuts, and a deeply negative second derivative of AI capex—will create a bearish setup for US equities in early 2027. This is not a near-term call but a 6-12 month horizon risk.

Avoid US equities, premium dissipating
The US is acting like a bad emerging market with high policy volatility and a huge valuation premium. Over the next several years, the US premium will dissipate as the rest of the world reprices upward and the US reprices downward. The US trades at 21-22x forward earnings while EM trades at 12x, yet EM earnings growth is stronger. Underweight US equities in favor of cheaper, underowned markets.
SPY AVOID
Avoid developed market sovereign debt
We are in a fiscal age with a spending super cycle on AI, climate, and defense. Governments and private sector are spending aggressively, making developed market sovereign debt unattractive. We have been zero weighted in DM sovereign debt for 3 years and see no reason to own Treasuries for years. Underweight bonds and use the freed-up allocation for equities and commodities.
TLT AVOID
Long autonomous defense theme
Autonomous warfare is the number one performer in our model over the last month. The fusion of AI and defense is demonstrated in Ukraine and Iran. Asymmetric autonomous warfare is a major and growing theme.
Autonomous warfare LONG
Long clean energy, Iran catalyst
Clean energy is one of the top five positions in our model. Iran is the single best advertisement for clean energy, as it shows the vulnerability of fossil fuel dependence. Clean energy is no longer 'woke' – it is clean, secure, and available. The spending super cycle supports massive investment.
ICLN LONG
Long oil on spending super cycle
The AI age requires physical commodities; 'digital eats the physical'. We went long oil in the fall when Wall Street expected Brent at $52, driven by the spending super cycle, not geopolitics. We have trimmed but still hold the position. Oil remains a tactical long within a broader commodity overweight.
WTI LONG
Long copper miners, earnings exploding
Copper miners are 'printing money' and will continue to do so for years. The spending super cycle and electrification demand are structural. This is our favorite position right now. Earnings are off the charts, and the market is underappreciating the profit generation.
COPX LONG
Long gold miners, huge margins
Gold miners have enormous margins because they were profitable at $1,500/oz gold, and gold is now $4,500/oz. Their profit margins are better than tech. We are long gold miners as part of our precious metals exposure.

Europe is the big winner from the dual ceasefires – US-Iran deal and Russia-Ukraine ceasefire. Germany is finally spending with low debt/GDP. European equities are outperforming the US and are exposed to a ceasefire trade. We are quite bullish Europe.
VGK LONG
Long Japan on inflation regime
Japan has transitioned from deflation to inflation. It has the lowest real rates among major economies and needs to raise rates. Rising rates confirm inflation and growth, which is bullish for Japanese equities. Inflation is far better than deflation for a country with 200% debt/GDP.
EWJ LONG
Long China A-shares, defeating deflation
China is one of the last countries that will have to raise interest rates because it is finally defeating deflation. This is very bullish for Chinese corporate profits and domestic investor asset allocation. Domestic investors are shifting from property and low-yield savings into equities. We are very long the A-share market.
ASHR LONG
Long China tech, clean energy leader
China dominates the clean energy cycle and is the biggest winner from Iran. Demand for its EVs, solar panels, batteries, and wind turbines is exploding. China is applying its industrial scale and speed to embodied AI, robotics, autonomous defense, autonomous vehicles, and biotech. We are very bullish China tech across the spectrum.
KWEB LONG
Long EM equities, huge discount
Emerging markets trade at 12x forward earnings versus 21-22x for the US, yet EM earnings growth this year and next is forecast to be better. EM is completely underowned – foreigners own less than 5% of Chinese bonds and stocks. We believe we are in the early innings of a secular leadership change from the US to EM equities.
EEM LONG
Long robotics, top performer
Humanoid robotics is one of the top five performing positions in our thematic model. The robotics ETF is heavily exposed to China, Japan, and Korea. The push toward automation and embodied AI is a key theme in the spending super cycle.

DDC is a digital asset treasury company with a growing, profitable operating food business that provides non-dilutive capital to accumulate Bitcoin.

The Avalanche ecosystem is positioned to capture value from the tokenization of real-world assets.

Bitcoin is set for a mini bull run driven by two factors: the turnover of old-guard Bitcoin holders who have sold into the ETFs, and the RIA channel flows that are starting to kick in as advisors get educated and recommend Bitcoin to their clients. The macro environment is calm and there is hope for the clarity act.

TSMC cheap relative to other AI stocks.
TSMC is historically a low-volatility, steady, high-quality company. Its valuation is fair relative to itself but cheap relative to other AI stocks considering its growth rate.

Peter Grandich plans to short the S&P 500 for the first time since 2008, citing extreme overvaluation, overbought conditions, extreme bullish sentiment, early signs of a market peak (layoffs, expert shorting semiconductors), and a US economy that is in far worse shape than any time other than major declines. He is prepared to short aggressively if the market rallies, acknowledging risks from passive inflows but believing the downside outweighs them.

Rates rise, short bonds.
Peter Grandich is bearish on US Treasury bonds, expecting interest rates to rise. He believes a 10-year yield above 5% will cause a stock market correction. He sees rates moving higher due to the US debt crisis, foreign selling of Treasuries, and inflation pressures.

Bullish US oilfield services boom
US onshore drilling and oilfield services are entering a cyclical boom, with very cheap valuations and a setup that benefits from the Strait closure but is not dependent on it. The speaker is heavily positioned in these names, expecting significant upside as drilling activity inflects higher.
US Onshore Drilling & Oilfield Services LONG
Favor small-cap US oil producers
Small-cap US oil producers are more attractive than large-cap companies like Exxon because they trade at much lower valuations (EV/EBITDA, EV/BOE per day) and have no production shut-in exposure from the Strait of Hormuz. They can sell all their output at elevated prices, providing pure-play leverage to high oil prices.
XOP LONG
Oil to $150–$250 on supply crunch
Oil prices are set to rise dramatically, potentially to $150–$250 per barrel WTI, driven by the ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz draining global oil inventories, a cyclical bottom in oil prices, and the risk of non-linear price rationing as storage approaches tank bottoms. The US is a net oil exporter, so higher oil benefits the US economy and supports further price increases.

Copper faces a structural supply deficit due to underinvestment in new mines over the last decade, declining grades at existing operations, and rising demand from electrification, transmission, battery storage, and broader modern economy uses.

Tariff-related stockpiling and negative treatment charges further support the near-term price.

Specific commodities like ferro vanadium, molybdenum, lithium, tantalum, aluminum, tin, steel are already surging.

Pivot away from high tech.
Investors should pivot away from high-tech assets because the commodity super cycle offers better risk-reward. High tech does not benefit from the rearming and resource demand themes. The recommendation is to reduce or avoid exposure to the high-tech sector.
High-tech sector AVOID
Long oil near-term due to spikes.
The Strait of Hormuz blockade is causing oil supply shortages and drawing down inventories. Since short-run demand elasticity is very low (0.1), price spikes will continue as long as the strait remains shut. Right now is a good time to be long oil because more spikes are coming.

Gold to 6-7k, secular bull.
Gold is in a secular bull market and will peak between $6,000 and $7,000 per ounce. It is currently consolidating after a sharp run-up and will take off again. The inverse relationship with real yields may slow it temporarily but does not derail the long-term uptrend.

SEVA Mining (TSXV: SEVA) is positioned for upside due to its Cameron Lake project in northwestern Ontario, which has 1.25 million ounces of gold, a simple DSO (direct shipping ore) model, strong management team, supportive jurisdiction, and optionality for growth via exploration or acquisition. The speaker highlights the project's upside potential and the team's capital markets track record.
SEVA Mining (TSXV: SEVA) LONG
Gold bullish on central bank buying.
Gold prices will continue to rise due to central bank buying (especially BRICS nations), strong ETF demand (e.g., launch of a large gold ETF in Hong Kong), and global instability. The speaker references European banks and Wells Fargo projecting a $6,000 gold target as attainable, and believes the buying trend will persist, making gold a favorable investment.

US energy sector benefits from export boost
US crude oil exports are set to increase by up to 500,000 barrels per day due to a Platts rule change effective May 1 that expands the number of approved terminals for loading WTI Midland into the Brent pool. This benefits US oil producers and the broader US energy sector, offsetting some of the global supply loss.
XLE LONG
Oil to $150 on supply disruption
Brent crude oil prices are likely to rise sharply, potentially reaching $150 per barrel by the second half of the year, due to the sustained US-Iran standoff, severe backwardation in futures markets, panic buying by refiners, and the inability to replace lost supply from the Strait of Hormuz. The base case is $100/bbl on average for the rest of 2026, but the risk is skewed to the upside.
BNO LONG
Tech is safe haven due to inelastic capex
Technology stocks may act as a safe haven during the oil shock because large tech firms have inelastic capital expenditure commitments (e.g., AI spending) that will continue regardless of oil price increases. This makes the tech sector relatively resilient compared to other sectors.

Gold is for war. The metal serves as the currency of conflict, bought in advance of war and sold during war to fund operations. The recent drop in gold coincided with the postponement of the Taiwan invasion risk. For long-term investors, now is a good time to dollar-cost average into gold and silver, building a position over months to years, as the next leg higher is likely once geopolitical tensions reignite.

Nokia is deeply undervalued and a direct beneficiary of AI-driven mobile infrastructure spending. Nvidia recently invested $1 billion into Nokia to build out 6G and AI capabilities.
