Trade Ideas
Zcash leader in crypto move
Zcash is a leader that will outperform if crypto makes a move. It is breaking a 10-year resistance level, and the risk-reward is still worth it. I plan to buy again at ~560 and exit if below 500.
Hack LLM, short SoftBank, long Apple/VVV
If an AI lab secretly achieves AGI and announces it, short software ETF (IGV) and long Palantir (defense) and SoftBank (AI SPV). AGI will drive defense and AI investment.
Hack LLM, short SoftBank, long Apple/VVV
If an LLM's chat logs are hacked, it will be nuclear. Short SoftBank (owns OpenAI). Long Apple (local AI hardware) and VVV (privacy). The biggest trend is local AI.
Robot accident, short TSLA and GOOGL
If a robot kills a human in a demo or Waymos are hacked and drive off cliffs, short Tesla and Google. The panic will hurt autonomous vehicle/robot companies.
Alien contact, long RKLB and bonds
If Trump escalates the Iran war and remains in office, short US bonds (they go to zero) and long oil (oil to $300). The environment is hyper-inflationary.
Satoshi moves coin, long gold
If US payment rails are down for a week, on-chain trading is the only option. Long Hyperliquid (decentralized exchange) and CrowdStrike (cyber defense). Also long gold.
CA earthquake, short ABNB, long copper
A California mega-earthquake would destroy tourism and infrastructure. Short Airbnb (5% revenue from CA) and long copper (rebuilding demand).

China invades Taiwan, long INTC, EBAY
If China invades Taiwan, chip shortage will make Intel the only viable leading-edge fab. Also long eBay because physical GPU prices skyrocket and trade on eBay.
Baldness cure, long HIMS
If a cure for male pattern baldness is invented, long Hims & Hers (HIMS) because they will distribute the drug and the stock will candle green.
AGI achieved, short IGV, long PLTR, SFTBY
If an AI lab secretly achieves AGI and announces it, short software ETF (IGV) and long Palantir (defense) and SoftBank (AI SPV). AGI will drive defense and AI investment.
Quantum cracks encryption, short BTC, long INFQ
If a quantum computer cracks encryption, short Bitcoin (all crypto becomes obsolete) and long quantum computing stocks like INFQ (they become essential).

AOC breaks up Google, long META
If AOC becomes president and breaks up Google, long Meta (META). The biggest ad business becomes even stronger without Google's competition.
China AI leads, long BABA
If a Chinese AI lab (DeepSeek) takes the lead, finally long Alibaba (BABA). The narrative shift makes BABA a good long-term bet.
New pandemic, long ZM and pharma
If a mutated Ebola strain causes another pandemic, long Zoom (ZM) and big pharma (XLV). The COVID playbook repeats.
Zyns dangerous, short PM
If Zyns are found as dangerous as smoking, short Philip Morris (PM) for a couple days. Big tobacco gets hit.
Asteroid coming, long RKLB, HOOD
If an asteroid is confirmed to hit Earth in 10 years, long space (Rocket Lab) and long gambling platforms (Robin Hood). People will spend on space and degenerate trading.
