Prudent AI capex rewarded over spendthrift.
Within mega-cap AI spenders, the market is rewarding more prudent capex choices and punishing less prudent ones: Microsoft was rewarded for prudence while Meta and Google were punished, suggesting a relative preference for AI capex discipline.
META GOOG LOW

MSFT LOW

AI infrastructure correction may persist.
He believes the AI infrastructure correction may not be over despite the relief rally because hyperscalers and large tech funds chased the same crowded trade and leverage is still unwinding; a patient calm market is unlikely, with more funds likely to report severe losses.

Kyosha cheap at three times earnings.
Kyosha in Japan, one of his holdings and one of Leopold's positions, trades at three times earnings; that is cheap but forced selling can push it lower, so only investors who can hold through further downside to one or two times earnings should own it.

Ferrari EV demand validates brand strength.
Ferrari's controversial electric Luch has already hit its sales target on strong Chinese demand, and John believes the design is becoming more appealing, will turn heads, and fits the anti-halo car theory; this supports Ferrari's brand momentum and sales trajectory.
RACE MED

Robinhood posts record, diversified growth.
Robinhood reported record revenues of $1.31B, all-time high platform assets, record trading across equities/options/prediction markets, and now has 13 business lines generating over $100M annualized revenue, showing broad diversification and strong growth.
HOOD HIGH
Vlad Tenev CEO, Robinhood 159:44
Korean retail demand signaled overheating.
When Robinhood started hearing every customer ask for Korean stocks last quarter, he viewed it as a warning that Korean stocks were becoming overheated at least temporarily, which he says is what subsequently happened.
