Buy Treasuries at 4.80-5% yields.
Expects 10-year Treasury yields to potentially hit 5% this year and sees a buying opportunity at 4.80% to 5% because carry provides 100bp of protection and QE likely if yields reach 5%. Currently underweight duration but plans to go overweight at those levels.

Alphabet has strong revenue growth from AI.
Alphabet is one of the best-performing AI names with a clean revenue growth story from Gemini and YouTube upside, leading to strong stock performance and investor excitement.
Momei Qu PSP Growth Managing Director 115:23
Bullish on Microsoft due to underappreciation.
Bullish on Microsoft because the market underappreciates it due to excessively high initial expectations, but the company is solid with strong AI positioning and partnerships like OpenAI. The market's disappointment is overdone.
