Ideas
Treasury yields are historically attractive; extend duration.
Treasury yields are in the 100th percentile of cheapness, spreads are historically tight, and momentum has pushed yields to attractive levels; if investors liked yields before, they should love them now, making it a good time to extend duration even if the 10-year yield temporarily moves beyond 5%.
Avoid broad hyperscaler credit exposure.
The hyperscaler credit complex has haves and have-nots, with some issuers like Microsoft rated above the U.S. government, but an equal-weight exposure to the entire complex is too much; he does not see a rush to buy all hyperscaler debt and would be selective.
AI expands Upwork demand, not undercut.
AI is expanding rather than undercutting Upwork: demand is rising for AI implementation experts and AI video generation skills, businesses are coming through both Upwork and AI channels, and AI agents are increasingly hiring humans, with agent-led placements growing sharply from about 1,000 to 10,000 a day.
Lennar estimates face more downside risk.
Rising mortgage rates and inflation pressure make Lennar's forward estimates vulnerable ahead of earnings; orders are expected down 6%, traffic matters after the 30-year mortgage rate breached 7%, and he sees more downside than upside risk to forward estimates.
Margin discipline could help homebuilders.
If Lennar and other builders slow the pace of sales and prioritize margin over volume instead of settling for volume, that could help the homebuilder group by allowing rates and affordability to improve.
AI infrastructure demand has no slowdown.
Customer demand for more AI workloads shows no sign of slowing; enterprises and devices are still early in adoption, and while not every AI start-up will survive, the long-term trajectory for AI infrastructure and compute demand is up and to the right.
Inference crossover boosts AI inference chips.
The AI market is at the crossover point where inference/deployment becomes a larger workload than training; as use cases multiply inside organizations, inference will drive demand for accelerators optimized for cost, throughput, power, and return on capital.
Europe sovereign AI chips see tailwind.
Sovereign AI capability is a major tailwind for Europe and France; Europe wants home-grown chip makers and suppliers, and companies that can deliver competitive inference devices with lower cost and power bring more choices and opportunities in CPUs, GPUs, accelerators, and memory.

Market broadening favors small caps, cyclicals.
Beneath the surface, the market is broadening; cyclicals and small caps are outperforming, with small-cap forward-looking performance up over 21% while mega-cap leadership is on its heels. She favors diversifying out of large winners into cyclicals and small caps, especially if the Fed controls inflation and the economy holds up.

Extend duration a little in bonds.
With yields camped at 5% or higher and potential rotation across asset classes, she has been extending duration a little in fixed income to take advantage of nuances in the bond market.
Credit offers attractive risk-return versus equities.
Credit offers attractive risk returns with steady income and is a good alternative to equities; overall spreads are tight, but investors are incrementally getting paid more, and the uncertain backdrop still justifies credit exposure.
Distressed credit offers attractive returns.
Below the calm surface, stress is building in lower-quality borrowers, with triple-C yields near historic levels; for investors with discipline and expertise to work out troubled credits, distressed debt offers attractive returns, especially in software, building parts, and lower-income consumer-exposed businesses.
Buy software credit when others exit.
She would absolutely buy software credit if a company is on the back foot but not truly distressed at the right price; when everyone is exiting a sector, that is usually the time to enter cautiously, and Oaktree trimmed earlier so is entering with lower allocation.
Stay low duration; buy credit incrementally.
Staying balanced and relatively low duration is the most prudent approach today; she still thinks it is an okay time to dip a toe in and buy credit incrementally.

Private credit is still early innings.
Private credit remains in early innings and is the exception to weaker private fundraising; investors are seeing broader maturation of the asset class and using it to diversify portfolios, though manager selection matters because private credit is not monolithic.

Prediction markets drive Robinhood growth.
Prediction markets are a strong growth driver for Robinhood; event contracts around Fed decisions are among the most popular, sports volumes are surging with NFL week-one volume up 85% and users up 75%, and these products bring new and returning users into the broader Robinhood ecosystem.
Dutch Bros can sustain rapid unit growth.
Dutch Bros is positioned for rapid growth toward 2,029 shops by 2029, adding 185 shops this year; unit volumes average $2 million with shop-level margins around 30% and high cash-on-cash returns, supported by a 500-person operator pipeline and healthy Q2 ticket/transaction growth, with food as a requested add-on.
