Long AI data center stocks for AI infra.
Carter is long the major publicly traded AI data center names because they are direct beneficiaries of the AI infrastructure buildout. He owns and holds these positions as core AI plays, citing persistent demand for compute.

Corsair cheap AI hardware play.
Corsair is pivoting into AI workstations and hardware, and at a $1B market cap it is a cheap way to play the local AI / edge compute trend. The stock is underfollowed and could re-rate as AI hardware demand moves to local solutions.

Bottom in high-end vintage wine.
Calls the permabottom on high-end alcohol and vintage wine, arguing that society is shifting from digital/screen obsession back to exclusive IRL experiences. Elite gatherings and high-end consumption are becoming the new status signal, reversing the current cultural low in alcohol demand.
