Summary

Host Yeo Do-hoon and guest Park Myung-suk reviewed the first trading day of 2026, noting mixed US indexes, strong memory semiconductors, and strength in small caps, crypto, robotics, space, and drones. The main investment focus was the memory and DRAM upcycle, AI data-center infrastructure, and 2026 physical AI themes. A large part of the discussion covered Venezuela's Maduro capture and its potential effects on oil, US energy names, and geopolitical risk. Tesla's delivery miss, Palantir's Venezuela link, and Warren Buffett's retirement were also discussed.

  • Host Yeo Do-hoon and guest Park Myung-suk reviewed the first trading day of 2026, with major US indexes mixed and volume still light.
  • Memory semiconductors led: Micron and SanDisk surged as DRAM prices rose, and Morgan Stanley sees supply shortages persisting.
  • CES and 2026 theme discussions focused on physical AI, robotics, space, drones, data centers, and defense.
  • Crypto rebounded, helped by policy developments such as JPMorgan's Ethereum tokenized money-market fund and SEC custody rules.
  • Venezuela's Maduro capture dominated macro discussion, raising questions about oil prices, US oil beneficiaries, Taiwan risk, and Trump politics.
  • Palantir and drone stocks were highlighted as short-term Venezuela-related trading setups.
  • The show closed with Warren Buffett's retirement from Berkshire Hathaway as a headline item.

Memory upcycle on DRAM shortages.
Memory semiconductors remain in a powerful upcycle: Micron jumped about 10%, SanDisk about 16%, Samsung Electronics rose over 7%, and DRAM prices are exploding. Morgan Stanley expects memory supply shortages to persist through the year, so the speaker argues investors should stay exposed to memory names even if price gains are not linear.

Oil faces geopolitical upside, long-term supply downside.
Venezuela and Maduro risk create short-term geopolitical uncertainty that could spike oil, while longer term, if US investment opens Venezuela's vast reserves, oil prices may fall; the speaker says oil's reaction may set market tone.

Russell 2000 has positive first-half expectations.
US small caps retain positive expectations into the first half because of expected Fed chair replacement, continued data-center construction, and first-day strength in the Russell 2000, even though rate-cut hopes are weaker than last year.
IWM MED

Space stocks ride SpaceX and launch momentum.
Space is seen as a possible 2026 through-theme because SpaceX expectations are strong, Rocket Lab and AST SpaceMobile jumped around 10%, and investors are trading a calendar of launch and event catalysts; Starlink altitude moves add momentum.

Physical AI makes robotics a 2026 theme.
Physical AI is seen as the main 2026 theme, with robotics prioritized; US robot- and automation-linked names including Serve Robotics, Symbotic, Rockwell Automation, and UiPath rallied on January effect and policy momentum.

Crypto is bottoming as policy support improves.
Crypto is showing a bottoming rebound: Bitcoin made a meaningful bounce and Ethereum broke above $3,000. JPMorgan's tokenized money-market fund on Ethereum and SEC custody rules support policy momentum, though the rally is not yet fully satisfying.

Venezuela oil reopening benefits US oil names.
If the US develops Venezuela's oil sector, US energy majors and oil-service names such as Chevron, Exxon Mobil, Halliburton, and Schlumberger are seen as likely beneficiaries and are already receiving expectations.

Semiconductor equipment demand rises with memory capex.
If memory and broader semiconductor demand stay strong, semiconductor equipment is necessary; ASML and Lam Research hit new highs, confirming equipment demand.

Data-center buildout supports infrastructure and neocloud names.
Semiconductor strength ultimately comes from data-center buildout, so Vertiv and Bloom Energy remain strong, while CoreWeave and Nebius surged and appear to be bottoming; the speaker says data centers remain a key 2026 theme.

Drone stocks may extend Venezuela-related gains.
Drones were the first-in asset for the Venezuela operation; Ondas Holdings continued double-digit gains and Red Cat surged 15%, and the speaker says drone names may level up further after Maduro's arrest, with Red Cat as an alternative if Ondas feels stretched.
ONDS RCAT MED

Palantir may bounce on military ties.
Palantir fell over 5% with software weakness, but the speaker says it was likely the software used in the Venezuela operation and is strongly tied to the military; with Musk, Trump, and Karp alignment, he expects it may bounce in today's session.
