🧮 Valuation Frameworks

• Forward P/E and forward PEG are not double-counting the same forward assumption. Forward P/E swaps the denominator from actual EPS to forward EPS. Forward PEG uses forward EPS / actual EPS as the denominator, capturing YoY EPS growth. Same forward lens, different measurement dimensions. 1

💾 Semiconductors & Memory Cycle

• The Mag7 bearish case that focuses only on excessive capex downside becomes inconsistent if the same downside-risk lens is ignored for Micron and SanDisk. Can’t have it both ways. If capex cyclicality matters for one trade, it matters for the whole memory/AI supply chain. 2

• Comparing Mag7 through year-end against Micron/SanDisk only through September is a flawed setup. Same-period returns matter. Otherwise the comparison dodges the risk after momentum fades. 3

• Micron has a much higher upside case if consensus EPS moves toward $100 and gets revised up after next week’s earnings. If the market confirms this major cycle can last at least two to three years, a P/E of 15 or even 20 is not excessive. That puts the stock at 1500-2000 in the bull case. 4

📈 Positioning & Trading Discipline

• Markets trade forward, not through the rear-view mirror. Prior upside only affects the next few months unless the investment horizon is short. The cleaner playbook is still low-entry positioning and high-level profit-taking. Most traders know the slogan but still chase strength and panic-sell weakness because they can’t sit through dead money periods. 5

• The entry discipline was valuation-driven: first position at 420, then added down to 380 after earlier valuation looked too expensive. This is staged accumulation, not momentum chasing. 6

🤖 AI Data & Platform Moats

• $RDDT has strategic value because OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic all want Reddit’s data. The current setup looks similar to the 2025 compression phase before the stock doubled, implying another potential rerating if the same pattern plays out. 7
