Summary

Thread Guy hosts a market-open show covering DRAM weakness, a potential rotation from memory stocks into crypto, Brent oil's geopolitical rise, and the shifting value from AI model layers to compute infrastructure. He shares his short on SKM as a proxy for Anthropic's threatened margins, remains long on Shaw due to expert conviction, and expresses broad bullishness on Bitcoin and Ethereum. The session also touches on Google's earnings risk, the significance of a predicted natural gas shortage, and the cultural momentum behind meme coins.

  • DRAM is near key support with downside risk if Gavin Baker's bottom level breaks.
  • Crypto (BTC/ETH) shows strength, possibly rotating away from memory stocks.
  • Brent oil rallies on Trump's Strait of Hormuz toll and Iran tensions.
  • AI infrastructure (Cerebras, CoreWeave, Nebius, Nvidia) benefits from model-layer commoditization.
  • SK Telecom (SKM) shorted as a bet against Anthropic under Chinese open-source pressure.
  • Shaw held based on trust in Leopold Ashenbrunner's pick despite poor entry.
  • Meme coin culture and trenching streams are increasingly mainstream on TikTok.
  • Google's Gemini struggles and earnings could set a negative precedent for tech.

Long Bitcoin, short memory rotation.
A rotation from memory stocks to crypto is underway. Memory earnings beats are not rewarded, while crypto (Bitcoin) shows renewed strength. Long Bitcoin and short DRAM / memory stocks as a pair trade to capture this relative momentum.

Geopolitics drive Brent oil up.
Brent crude oil is breaking higher due to escalating geopolitical tensions. Trump's toll on the Strait of Hormuz and Iran threat to strike US tech infrastructure create a supply disruption thesis that has pushed Brent up steadily.
BNO MED

Short SKM, Anthropic margins pressured.
Short SK Telecom (SKM) as a proxy bet against Anthropic. Chinese open-source models will continue to pressure the market share, pricing and margins of Anthropic and OpenAI, making it unlikely they can IPO above $1 trillion or maintain durable moats. SKM holds a stake in Anthropic that is a large portion of its valuation.
SKM HIGH

Long compute, margins shift to infra.
Open-source models fundamentally shift margin percentage and margin dollars from the model layer to the infrastructure layer. If we are structurally short compute, margins at the model layer don't matter; the real value accrues to compute providers. Cerebras, Neoclouds, CoreWeave, Nebius, and Nvidia are direct beneficiaries of this shift.

Follow smart money, hold Shaw.
Buying and holding Shaw because the speaker is not smarter than Leopold Ashenbrunner, who picked it. Trusting the expert's conviction and holding despite a poor entry, expecting it to work out.
SHAW MED

Crypto trend strong, go long BTC/ETH.
Bitcoin and Ethereum look very strong on high time frames. Many smart people are converging on a bullish thesis for crypto. The trend is continuing and a breakout above key levels is anticipated.
ETH HIGH
