Semiconductors will lead tech rebound
Positioning in tech was reduced from the 98th percentile to the 80th, and investors are now returning. Fundamental demand for semiconductors remains significant, the SOX index is still 16% off its highs and can retrace those losses. Risk metrics like absorption ratios and correlation surprises are not flashing red, suggesting the move has legs.
Buy gold as inflation hedge
Gold is a good hedge against risk assets given lingering inflation concerns. Volatility is cheap, making options strategies like one-month spreads attractive, but buying gold is a straightforward hedge.

Avoid 30-year U.S. Treasuries
The U.S. fiscal situation will keep demanding more capital, causing 30-year Treasury yields to stay elevated or rise further. The government will continue to issue debt, and bondholders are demanding higher real yields. Until fiscal discipline appears, the 30-year is unattractive relative to shorter maturities and hyperscaler credit.

Buy hyperscaler 30-year credit
Hyperscaler corporate debt spreads have widened by 50–60 basis points year-to-date, providing much better compensation for credit risk. The balance sheets of large tech companies are pristine and can absorb the debt. The all-in yield is attractive, especially compared to 30-year Treasuries. There is enough spread protection even if yields move up.

Buy 5- and 10-year Treasuries
Core inflation is on track to move back toward the Fed’s 2% target by year-end, driven by lower shelter costs, weaker goods prices, and declining wage gains. The Fed is likely to stay on hold, and the market will take out the priced-in rate hikes. Shorter and intermediate rates should fall, making current real yields attractive on 5-year and 10-year Treasuries.
S&P 500 will end higher
The rally feels hated, but strong broad-based earnings growth is the single best indicator. Most sectors are posting double-digit earnings growth, margins are expanding, and earnings momentum is still swinging higher. Cash balances remain elevated, providing fuel for further gains of 5–10% over the next 12 months.
Large-cap tech will revert higher
Large-cap tech has been terrible since November of last year, underperforming the S&P 500, the Russell, and emerging markets. This group is now unloved and cheap relative to history, and that underperformance should revert as earnings power reasserts itself.
Cybersecurity benefits from AI threats
AI is changing everything and making it easier for bad actors to execute data breaches and other cyberattacks. This creates an obvious and growing demand tailwind for cybersecurity solutions.
Buy IG corporates for income
Investment-grade corporate bond yields have risen 50–60 basis points, and the income profile now looks much better. Stronger balance sheet companies offer attractive yields even without relying on spread compression. The income component provides a good hedge against potential further yield increases.
Muni bonds offer high after-tax yield
For high-tax-bracket individuals, municipal bonds now offer tax-equivalent yields of 5.5–6% in the 10-year part of the curve, driven by rate volatility and attractive absolute yields. This makes them a compelling income play.
Gold miners added to portfolio
Gold miners have been added to the recommendation list as a portfolio diversification and hedge, reflecting a more cautious but still constructive body language.
Software benefits from AI monetization
Software companies are getting good commentary about monetizing AI exposures. While there is existential risk further out from model convergence, the near-term earnings and uptake look solid.
Hyperscaler stocks deliver on AI earnings
Hyperscalers are successfully turning massive capex investments into earnings, providing a degree of political insulation because of their strategic importance. The monetization story is tangible, and they remain attractive.
