Hyperscalers can withstand rising rates
Hyperscalers such as Google, Microsoft and Amazon deserve to be interest-rate insensitive because of rock-solid balance sheets and extraordinary cash flow generation; they can continue to grind up even if rates stay higher.

Rotate to defensive sectors, avoid semiconductors.
The market has stopped rewarding good news, signaling a narrative shift where more capex is no longer viewed as more. To manage this, we are moving into defensive, income-oriented sectors—energy, utilities, REITs, health care, consumer staples—and taking profits in semiconductors.

Central banks are diversifying reserves, and non-dollar stablecoin issuers are buying gold to collateralize tokens. Gold is effectively diversifying portfolios against stocks (unlike Treasuries recently). The structural bid from de-dollarization and crypto-collateralization provides a floor. LONG Gold. High real rates usually pressure gold, though that correlation has broken recently.

43% of the Russell 2000 is unprofitable. Small caps are "really, really low quality." They cannot make money even with nominal GDP over 5%. If the economy slows, these companies are structurally broken. The "Small Cap" trade is a trap; quality is elsewhere. SHORT Small Caps. A massive drop in interest rates could temporarily float zombie companies.

Financials sold off sharply (e.g., SCHW down 7%) on fears of AI disruption from new fintech tools. The selloff is "silly." AI tools (like tax planning) rely on data that incumbents (banks/wealth managers) own and control. The disruption threat is overstated, creating a value entry point in high-quality financials. LONG Financials (Morgan Stanley's #1 high conviction sector). Rapid adoption of AI agents actually displacing human advisors faster than expected.
