Ideas
Memory stocks bottomed on AI catalyst.
The new ChatGPT live voice model signals that AI development continues strongly, and memory/semiconductor stocks are bottoming. AI capex will keep increasing, benefiting memory chips. Memory is not a commodity; demand will remain high. The recent panic (Apple buying memory from China, SK Hynix US listing fears) created a capitulation bottom.
GTA 6 makes Take-Two a cash machine.
GTA 6 will be a massive cash machine for Take-Two, with tens of millions of men with money spending heavily on microtransactions, turning the game into a long-term platform.
Still long Solana.
He remains long Solana and is still holding the position.
Software ETF IGV is struggling.
The software ETF (IGV) is struggling and the rotation into software is not working. Software stocks are unattractive.
Eli Lilly decade-long consumer biotech play.
Eli Lilly is a decade-long trade on consumer biotech, driven by demand for drugs related to lifestyle enhancement (sexual health, hair, muscles).
Robinhood stock attractive on crypto adoption.
Robinhood is becoming a crypto-native platform with its own chain and wallet, and could capture massive retail adoption. The stock looks attractive.
Hims chart looks like Robinhood fractal.
Hims & Hers chart is forming a similar pattern to Robinhood, suggesting it could go higher.
Apple wins AI via local device hardware.
Apple will win the AI race through local on-device AI, as they control the hardware (iPhone) with high switching costs. Investors should look at Apple as the best expression of local AI.
