π§ Original Viewpoint Summary
π¦ Macro & Policy
- MMT keeps failing in practice. The punchline is brutal: the policy delivers the opposite of its idealistic premise and stated goals. 1
π§© Semiconductors & AI Infrastructure
-
Apple squeezed suppliers at the cycle bottom, the usual playbook. That likely blocked Micron from investing when capex mattered most. Supply discipline now looks less like genius and more like customer pressure creating future shortages. 2
-
Qualcommβs data-center push is not a side quest. It is framed as a diversification engine bigger than any opportunity Qualcomm has had before. The real bull case is no longer just handsets. It is AI infrastructure optionality. 3
-
IBMβs 7A chip story is not just another chip headline. The key detail is the claim that two transistors were wafer-bonded together. That points to a serious alignment breakthrough, not just incremental node marketing. 4
-
Qualcomm Dragonfly may be a bigger win for UMC than TSMC. The logic is simple: Dragonfly leans heavily on power integration, including PMIC, on-wafer inductors, Deep Trench Capacitors (DTC), and interposers. That plays directly into UMCβs strengths. 5
-
Micron left-side trading thesis stays intact. Buying at 400 did not require knowing it would drop to 320 in the next two to three weeks. The drawdown from 420 to 320 created room to build enough position size before the later double. This is fundamental investing plus volatility harvesting, not tape-chasing. 6
π Single-Stock & Relative-Performance Calls
-
$MSTR has been down 12 of the last 14 months, while $SOXX has been up 12 of the last 14 months. The cleaner trade was not βStrategy.β It was simply full-porting $SOXX instead of chasing $MSTR. 7
-
$DJT has collapsed from $79 to $7 in a year. The prior $1.50 price target is now back in play, with the stock almost there after the wipeout. 8
-
$BABAβs data-center problems may get worse. The legal overhang is not priced like a nothingburger: the U.S. government is expected to have a strong chance of not losing the suit. Downside risk remains live. 9
