🌎 Geopolitical & Macro Outlook

  • Initiated long positions in EU defense and uranium miners, driven by the belief that European defense will increasingly be localized (“Europe needs to be defended by Europeans not by Americans”). Sold EWG. 引用1
  • Eliminating Iran is a “national-destiny level” long-term boon for Israel, dwarfing any short-term missile impacts. The sentiment implies a strong bullish stance on Israeli-linked assets if suitable trading instruments existed. 引用2
  • The private credit market flashes risk alarms, with SRLN breaking below $40 and XLF losing $52. This transmission of credit risk into the financial system, historically, precedes broader market shocks, mirroring patterns from the 2020 pandemic and 2022 UK pension crisis. 引用3
  • Underestimating Iran is ill-advised given its status as an industrial nation; this geopolitical assessment prompts a readiness to increase crude oil and natural gas positions, drawing a parallel to the US’s engagement with Japan in 1941. 引用4
  • Investors are actively hedging against a credit market crash; put option open interest in US large credit ETFs ($HYG, $JNK, $LQD, $BKLN) hit a record ~11.5 million contracts, a doubling of outstanding contracts. 引用5

💻 AI & Technology Sector

  • Nebius ($NBIS) is poised to tackle the agent reliability bottleneck for autonomous workflows by integrating Toloka’s Tendem, effectively API-ifying human oversight for high-risk AI decisions. 引用6

📈 Market Mechanics & Investment Philosophy

  • Theme identification is a critical component for market participants; recent winners like memory, photonics, optics, and energy sectors demonstrate broad, “monstrous gains” across constituent names. 引用7
  • Acknowledged buying the dip on Anritsu’s crash but with too small a position; subsequent additions as price rose resulted in a high average cost basis. 引用8
  • A strong buy signal emerges when an executive like Noto invests nearly an entire $1.2 million annual salary into their company’s stock, reinforcing the adage: “There are many reasons to sell stock, but only one reason to buy.” 引用9
  • Sustained long-term holding requires deep understanding; Palantir’s complex product suite provides ammunition for short-sellers but also rewards investors who truly grasp its value proposition. 引用10

🏢 Company Specific Analysis

  • OpenDoor ($OPEN) is employing aggressive incentives, offering 4.99% 30-year fixed mortgages with no points or lender fees, to stimulate buyer demand amidst the current high-rate environment. 引用11
  • Zeta’s recent earnings—revenue $395 million (beat), 18 consecutive beats, first GAAP profitability, 2026 guidance $1.74 billion (+34% growth)—are significantly undervalued at a PE of 20 and PEG of 0.59. This suggests a “mispricing,” with a fair valuation pegged at least at $30, nearly double the current price. 引用12
  • Despite strong financials (full-year revenue $600 million (+38%), backlog up 73% to $1.85 billion), Rocket Lab’s Neutron rocket delay to 2026 Q4 is a significant concern. With a $37.5 billion market cap and 65x P/S, the valuation hinges on future expectations, leaving minimal error tolerance. A personal principle advises limiting positions to 5% due to high growth and volatility. 引用13
