Bubble Boy — Crypto Analyst, Unknown

Summary

Bubble Boy, an engineer turned trader, returns to discuss his best year ever, fueled by AI trades. He details his current negative S&P 500 exposure, extreme bullishness on Intel and the CXMT IPO, a cheap Alibaba cloud play, a flash memory thesis via Faison, an avoidance of photonics, and a watch on Qualcomm. The conversation also covers the impact of Chinese AI models like Kimmy on memory demand and the shifting capex dynamics of hyperscalers.

  • Bubble Boy reports his best trading year, attributing it to deep AI engineering expertise.
  • He holds net short S&P 500 delta due to institutional profit-taking and capex sustainability doubts.
  • Strongly bullish on Intel, citing secured long-term customers and the 14A node.
  • Extremely bullish on the CXMT IPO as a mispriced Chinese DRAM play.
  • Bullish on Alibaba for its cheap cloud business and central role in Chinese AI.
  • Recommends flash memory and Taiwanese controller maker Faison as a DRAM replacement play.
  • Advises avoiding current photonics stocks, calling the technology 'cooked.'
  • Monitoring Qualcomm for a potential data center accelerator surprise despite poor management.
Ideas

CXMT IPO is massively undervalued, buy aggressively.
CXMT, a Chinese DRAM maker, is going public at an extremely cheap valuation compared to Micron despite similar demand tailwinds from the AI buildout. The Chinese government is forced to back semiconductor champions, and CXMT will benefit from high commodity DRAM prices. The IPO is deeply mispriced and warrants a full portfolio allocation.

Alibaba cloud is cheap, rides China AI.
Alibaba's e-commerce and especially its cloud division are very cheap and still high quality. With Chinese AI models like Kimmy running on its infrastructure and deals with Huawei for special chips, Alibaba is positioned to capture the growth of China's AI market.
BABA MED

Short S&P 500 on profit-taking, capex fears.
Institutional investors are locking in gains after a massive AI rally, and there are growing questions about hyperscaler capex sustainability. He has negative delta to the S&P 500, expecting near-term weakness.
SPY MED
Bubble Boy Crypto Analyst, Unknown 45:38
Intel is deeply undervalued, poised for 100% growth.
Intel's foundry business has long-term customer commitments with prepayments; they are moving aggressively to 14A with a guaranteed customer, and revenue could grow 100% within a year. The market sell-off after earnings is an overreaction, making this a great buying opportunity.
INTC HIGH

Avoid photonics stocks, technology is cooked.
Current photonics approaches using expensive lasers and advanced TSMC processes are 'cooked' (unattractive). A new method may emerge, but existing photonics stocks should be avoided.
Photonics sector LOW

Flash replaces DRAM, buy Faison.
Flash memory is set to take over DRAM's role in AI due to density advantages and optimized access patterns. Faison, a Taiwanese flash controller company, is moving away from DRAM and is an attractive play on this transition.
8299.TW MED
Bubble Boy Crypto Analyst, Unknown 63:27
Qualcomm could explode on accelerator surprise.
Qualcomm may have a genuine breakthrough in data center accelerators, quoting very high bandwidth that many dismiss as unrealistic. If they deliver, the stock could surge, but management is notoriously poor, making it a situation to monitor.
QCOM LOW
