Trade Ideas
Gen Z finance goes to Robinhood.
Robinhood (HOOD) is his largest allocation and he hasn't sold any. The thesis is that Gen Z finance is becoming more online, and younger generations lack allegiance to traditional banking, so Robinhood will continue to increase user numbers and dominate their target demographic.
Bloom Energy is best energy play.
Bloom Energy is a key pick from the Leopold Ashbrunner playbook, which he argues is the best trade for the next five years centered on energy and GPU. The thesis is that energy infrastructure is critical for AI growth.
PWR and ETN are AI-proof construction.
PWR and ETN are construction companies that are AI-proof because they benefit from energy infrastructure buildout regardless of which AI winner emerges, even with quantum computing. They are derived from the same general energy theme.
Apple makes sense as core holding.
Apple is his second-largest long position. He is very long because the more he looks into Apple, the more it makes sense as a core holding.
