🔎 Overlooked AI / Platform Edge

• $RDDT looks under-discussed relative to the new product commentary. The key read-through: Reddit is becoming a verification layer for AI commerce. Nearly half of shoppers verify AI-generated recommendations on Reddit before buying, and users reportedly trust Reddit more than family or friends for checking AI recommendations. That is not just product news; it points to Reddit owning high-intent decision traffic in the AI shopping stack. 1

🤖 AI Reality Check

• AI hype has a high bar to clear. If AI is truly “the greatest thing ever invented,” the real benchmark should be curing diseases, solving world hunger, preventing crime and wars, and creating broad human happiness—not just better chatbots or stock-market narratives. 2

🧠 Semis / CXL Trade

• $ALAB remains the preferred name over $PENG. But if the CXL theme is hard to underwrite, $DRAM is the cleaner basket trade. The logic: CXL tailwinds should also benefit NAND-related stocks, so the broader memory route may avoid single-name complexity. 3

📈 Market Trend / Momentum

• Dollar strength does not automatically kill equities. Stocks and the Dollar have rallied together before, so treating a stronger Dollar as an automatic risk-off signal is too simplistic. 4

• $SPX is only 1% ish away from ATH’s. The tape keeps grinding higher and refuses to break. Fighting the trend looks like a low-EV trade until price actually confirms weakness. 5

🗓️ Macro Setup / Cross-Asset Watchlist

• This week’s setup is about the next sector rotation trigger, not just $SPY and $QQQ. Tuesday’s PMI is the pivot: if the economy stays hot, yields remain a headwind; if it cracks, recession fear comes back. That matters directly for $IWM, $TLT, $SPY, and $QQQ. 6

🚀 Event-Driven / Dip Buying

• $RKLB selling off -10% on the day it officially joins $QQQ looks like a buy-the-dip setup rather than a thesis break. The reaction is ugly, but the trade response is to double down into the dislocation. 7
