Tepper big mad at Whirlpool, he's massive long & we're short. Even the best can be too early; credit cycle has to turn first (ongoing short position confirming active short).

If you wanted to short an optical name, hard pressed to find a better one than AXTI. Just a matter of time before China clamps down on InP exports altogether, would bring stock down to single digits.

Buy QCOM as its AI200/AI250 inference chips target TCO-sensitive deployments, anchor customer Humain is deploying 200MW of AI200 racks in Saudi Arabia starting 2026, and the $2.4B Alphawave acquisition provides the low-latency SerDes/interconnect IP that is the critical bottleneck in disaggregated LLM inference.
