Feb 17, 2026	CRM /OWL /SCHW	SHORT	The narrator explicitly states, "Look at the stock slides of companies like Salesforce, Charles Schwab and Blue Owl. Investors are concerned that AI might be able to replicate their offerings soon." This is the "Obsolescence Discount." As AI agents (like the Altruist tool mentioned) automate complex tasks like tax strategy and customer relationship management, the moats of legacy "System of Record" companies and human-heavy wealth managers evaporate. The market is repricing these firms from "growth compounders" to "distressed assets." SHORT. The narrative has turned; every new AI capability release will act as a negative catalyst for these stocks. AI integration by these incumbents could prove successful, proving they can adapt rather than die.	Bloomberg Markets Are AI Fears Triggering a Stock Market Doom L...
Feb 17, 2026	AI SECTOR /MAG-7	LONG	"Investors [are] looking instead to go more into the AI winners... You can see there's been a massive divergence as investors look to avoid companies associated with these risks and flock towards the AI winners." This is a capital rotation trade. Money leaving the "Disrupted" sectors (Finance, SaaS, Gaming) is not leaving the market entirely; it is recycling into the "Disruptors." As fear of obsolescence grows for the rest of the S&P 500, the premium on the few companies controlling the AI infrastructure increases. LONG. Momentum trade based on the "Safety Trade" dynamic within tech. Valuation overextension if AI monetization fails to materialize quickly.

Feb 17, 2026	REAL ESTATE	WATCH	"Real estate stocks are selling off as investors think that this could be the next place that's going to get hit." Second-order effect of AI efficiency. If AI renders "countless businesses obsolete" or drastically reduces headcount needs in legal/finance/admin, the demand for commercial office space plummets further. Additionally, AI in property management could disrupt service margins. WATCH (Negative Bias). Sentiment is shifting against physical asset classes tied to white-collar labor. Interest rate cuts could buoy the sector regardless of the AI narrative.	Bloomberg Markets Are AI Fears Triggering a Stock Market Doom L...
Feb 17, 2026	TTWO /RBLX /U	SHORT	"We've seen video game stocks get hit after a new Google Gemini launched." Generative AI reduces the barrier to entry for game creation (coding, art assets) to near zero. If consumers can generate their own experiences or if small teams can build AAA-quality games using AI, the valuation premium for large gaming studios and engine providers (Unity/Roblox) collapses due to hyper-competition and margin compression. SHORT. The market views GenAI as deflationary for gaming IP value. These companies may integrate AI tools to lower their own production costs, boosting margins.

Feb 15, 2026	LVMH /RMS	LONG	2026 is the Year of the Horse. The narrator notes that "it's easier to market the horse" for Western houses that already feature them in logos or motifs, explicitly naming "Gucci, Celine [LVMH], Longchamp and of course, Hermes [RMS]." Chinese consumers are demanding "fresher takes" and cultural authenticity, rejecting lazy marketing (e.g., just a "red handbag with a horse on it"). Brands with inherent equine DNA (Hermes, Celine) can leverage this year's zodiac animal organically, giving them a competitive edge in capturing the projected rebound in holiday spending. Long LVMH (parent of Celine) and RMS (Hermes) as the primary beneficiaries of the Year of the Horse marketing cycle. Continued "economic slowdown" in China and a structural shift where consumers are "more inclined to support domestic labels" could cap upside for Western brands.

Feb 14, 2026	RMS /LVMH	LONG	The speaker states that "2026 is the year of the horse" and "it's easier to market the horse than last year's zodiac animal... Western luxury houses already feature them... like Gucci, Celine [LVMH], Longchamp and of course, Hermes [RMS]." Brands with inherent equestrian branding (Hermes, Celine via LVMH) have a distinct competitive advantage in 2026 marketing campaigns. This allows them to authentically connect with Chinese consumers and capture the projected market rebound more effectively than competitors who must manufacture a connection to the zodiac animal. LONG these specific luxury houses as they are best positioned to capitalize on the Lunar New Year spending catalyst. Continued macroeconomic weakness in China (housing crisis, unemployment) and a structural shift in consumer preference toward domestic Chinese brands.

Feb 14, 2026	GOOG /IBM /GOOGL	LONG	The narrator reports that Google's processor is exponentially faster than existing technology and states, "Google, IBM and others predict there could be a quantum computer solving real world problems by the end of the decade." These companies are explicitly named as the leaders in this technological shift. If they successfully navigate the engineering challenges (cooling, error rates), they will own the foundational infrastructure for the next era of high-performance computing. Long the primary hardware developers driving the quantum breakthrough. Technical hurdles regarding error correction and power consumption may delay commercialization beyond the 2030 target.

Feb 14, 2026	FINANCIALS /DEFENSE SECTOR /BIOTECH/VACCINE DEVELOPERS /AI SECTOR	LONG	The narrator states that quantum supremacy "could mean accelerated progress in areas like drug research, artificial intelligence, defense and finance." These sectors are the direct beneficiaries of quantum utility. The ability to process data in parallel (qubits) rather than sequentially (bits) unlocks capabilities in molecular modeling (Biotech), encryption (Defense), and complex market simulation (Finance) that are currently impossible. Long the downstream sectors that will leverage quantum speed to revolutionize their R&D and operational efficiency. The technology remains experimental; failure to achieve stability means these sectors cannot yet deploy these tools.	Bloomberg Markets Can Quantum Computing Power the AI Boom?...
Feb 08, 2026	COIN	LONG	Flight to Quality in Institutional Custody "The United States government has $25 billion of crypto and they don't know what to do with it... CMDSS was hired... a small business... nobody really knows anything about the CMDSS." The US Government just suffered a humiliating loss by trusting a small, obscure contractor with billions in assets. This creates an immediate political and operational mandate to migrate assets to "Too Big To Fail," publicly traded, regulated custodians. Coinbase (COIN) is the market leader in institutional custody (holding assets for BlackRock/ETFs) and is the only logical, SOC-compliant partner large enough to absorb this liability and restore public trust. LONG. The government will likely cancel small-vendor contracts and consolidate custody with the industry leader to avoid future embarrassment. The government may choose traditional banks (BNY Mellon/State Street) over crypto-native firms if regulations allow, bypassing Coinbase.	Thread Guy How a Kid Stole $40,000,000 in Crypto (from h...
Feb 08, 2026	BTC	WATCH	Supply Overhang / Liquidation Risk "The US government is 25 billion in Bitcoin alone... they really have no [__] clue what to do with it. They don't want to sell it and so they have to basically figure out these weird niche ways to custody it." The incompetence revealed by this theft may force the government's hand. If they cannot securely custody the assets, the political pressure to "liquidate and hold cash" increases. A forced liquidation of $25B in BTC due to security incompetence would be a massive supply shock. Conversely, if they simply move to a better custodian (like Coinbase), the supply remains locked. WATCH. Monitor DOJ announcements regarding asset disposition. Any signal of "liquidation due to security concerns" is a sell signal; announcements of "new custody partners" is neutral/bullish. Immediate knee-jerk selling by the government to "close the hole" could crash spot prices temporarily.	Thread Guy How a Kid Stole $40,000,000 in Crypto (from h...
