Ideas
IG credit too tight, expect widening.
Investment grade corporate credit spreads are too tight relative to other credit tiers; a more discerning credit investor environment should lead to spread widening and concession in IG.
Japanese bonds benefit from repatriation.
Japanese government bond yields have moved favorably, and domestic capital—including pension funds—is likely to stay home seeking higher real yields, supporting JGBs.
Hyperscalers cheap, semiconductor rotation beneficiary.
Hyperscalers (Mag 7) look cheap by comparison as they gain share of index market cap at the expense of semiconductors; they are poised to benefit as the AI spending cycle normalizes and their proprietary chip strategies lower costs.
Semis overbought, capex deceleration ahead.
Semiconductors are meaningfully overbought after parabolic price moves; extrapolated pricing power is unsustainable, hyperscalers are reengineering to reduce costs, and early capex deceleration signals a shift, making semis vulnerable to correction.
Copa Airlines moat, cheap, high cash flow.
Copa Airlines (CPA) boasts a moat around its Panama hub, low leverage (0.6x), a 4.5% cash dividend yield, ~$200 million annual free cash flow even in a down year, and low-20s margins, making it a much stronger risk‑reward than Delta.
Favor profitable small caps, avoid unprofitable.
Within small caps, the profitable, higher‑quality cohort (strong interest coverage, cash flows) is beginning to outperform non‑profitable names; investors should favor profitable small caps and avoid the unprofitable, lower‑quality segment.

AMD and Intel have strong prospects.
AMD and Intel are less appreciated AI beneficiaries; Intel is fundamentally restructuring under new leadership and both have strong prospects next year, offering upside relative to the heavily scrutinized NVIDIA.
NVIDIA likely to underperform.
NVIDIA is the most scrutinized company on the planet, its prospects widely known and priced in, and it is likely to underperform as the market rotates toward less appreciated semiconductor names.
Semis face 20-25% more downside.
Semiconductors are flashing a cluster of bearish technical signals (3% down day after 52‑week high, 7% weekly whiplash, frequent 3% daily moves, isolated rally below 20‑day moving average) that historically preceded significant drawdowns; 20‑25% further downside is likely.
