One contributor frames AI acceleration, the end of globalism and Western reindustrialization as a single transformation running down to tungsten and gallium, disclosing land and mineral purchases financed 125bps below spot; another argues t
Campbell Ramble: author is buying land and minerals, financed with a fixed-rate mortgage 125bps below spot
The author states he is 'looking for every way I can to buy compute, machines, and the land and minerals that grow them,' and discloses taking out a fixed-rate mortgage to buy land at 125bps below spot, while warning against overleverage.
This is disclosed personal positioning, not a recommendation: it signals conviction in hard assets and real assets as an inflation/geopolitical hedge, and a willingness to use cheap fixed-rate leverage against them.
Watch Whether the author's forthcoming public/private portfolio piece names specific vehicles expressing this view, and whether rates stay high enough to punish leveraged hard-asset positions.
Source →Outlier Capital: GPU share of AI bill of materials is falling as fabric takes the rest
The preview argues the GPU share of the bill of materials is declining while networking fabric absorbs the remainder, and pitches five stocks owning 'the light, the module, the cable and the WAN,' plus two names the market still undervalues.
If accurate, networking and optics vendors capture a growing share of AI infrastructure spend even as GPU growth dominates headlines—a relative-value rotation within the AI supply chain.
Watch Whether hyperscaler capex disclosures and networking/optics revenue growth confirm fabric share gains versus GPU share, and whether the named 'undervalued' names re-rate.

QTR's Fringe Finance publishes a piece titled 'It's Official: The AI Emperor Has No Clothes,' signaling a bearish thesis that the AI narrative/valuation complex is exposed as unfounded.
A prominent bearish AI-bubble call from a widely followed Substack adds to the skeptical chorus that could pressure AI-linked equities and sentiment if the thesis gains traction.
Watch Whether the full piece names specific AI names or indices and whether AI-linked equities underperform following publication.
Source →Rooster: discloses buying gold stocks amid criticism
The author states he received 'so much hate last night for investing in gold' and asks whether anyone bought gold stocks 'like the Rooster did,' disclosing a recent gold-equity purchase.
A disclosed, real-money rotation into gold miners signals conviction in precious-metals exposure as a hedge, consistent with his separate silver-miner theme.
Watch Whether the author names specific gold miners in follow-ups and whether gold equities outperform after the disclosed entry.
