Trade Ideas
Short SoftBank on AI leak
If chat logs from a major LLM are hacked and leaked publicly, SoftBank, which owns 20% of OpenAI, could drop 50% in one candle. Shorting SoftBank captures this downside.
Long Zcash after AI leak
After quantum encryption break, Zcash will rally as it is a privacy coin designed to be quantum-resistant, benefiting from the shift to secure assets.
Short Tesla on robot incident
If a robot kills a human during a live demonstration or Waymo gets hacked, Tesla's stock will crash due to safety fears around autonomous robots and vehicles.
Short Google on Waymo hack
If Waymo gets hacked and causes fatal crashes, Google's stock will sell off sharply due to liability and reputational damage.
Long Rocket Lab on contact
If an asteroid is confirmed to hit Earth in 10 years, space companies like Rocket Lab will surge as humanity invests in survival and space travel.
Long US bonds on alien contact
If Trump escalates a war with Iran, bonds will collapse as inflation and defense spending surge, making shorting TLT a clean trade.
Long gold on Satoshi move
If a single Satoshi-era Bitcoin moves, it signals Satoshi is alive or keys compromised, crashing Bitcoin and sending investors to gold as the ultimate safe haven.
Long Hyperliquid on payment crash
If US payment rails go down for a week, Hyperliquid becomes the only functional trading platform onchain, driving massive volume and revenue.

Long Intel on Taiwan invasion
If China invades Taiwan, Intel becomes the primary foundry for advanced chips, sending its stock to trillions as TSMC is disrupted.

Palantir will benefit from AGI because it is a war/defense stock and AGI increases government demand for advanced analytics and surveillance.
Short DJT on Epstein files
If the Epstein files are fully unredacted and very damaging, Trump Media (DJT) will sell off due to association with Epstein.
