Summary
The author argues that outsized portfolio returns can be achieved by targeting high-conviction, asymmetric setups where massive upside is protected by underlying fundamentals. For markets, this strategy is currently being executed by taking partial profits on multi-bagger winners while rotating capital into new core hardware and optical networking positions.
  • •The portfolio has generated a +32.35% YTD return as of late August 2026.
  • •The author locked in partial profits on major winners, selling 10-15% tranches of SIVE (+627.3%), OUST (+140.9%), IQE (+96.2%), and LUNR (+69.4%).
  • •New core positions were initiated in Applied Optoelectronics (AAOI) and Lumentum (LITE).
  • •Existing portfolio allocations were increased for FormFactor (FORM) by 20% and Hammond Power Solutions (HPS.A) by 25%.
