The Inflection Point Is Here

Za — Thu, 16 Jul 2026 22:02:17 GMT

There’s no doubt that the past few weeks (months?) have been difficult for anyone involved in the AI trade.

The easy conclusion is that the AI trade is over.

Maybe it is.

But era defining major market themes like this rarely end exactly when everyone agrees they’re over.

They often become most interesting after leverage has been wiped out and nobody wants to own the stocks that everyone was chasing only weeks earlier.

Over the past 6-8 weeks, I haven’t been as interested in the AI trade. Last week I said it was time to start paying attention for the first time in a long time, and I still believe that to be true.

We’re getting some signals that something might be happening.

Something Big Just Happened

Za — Tue, 14 Jul 2026 20:34:48 GMT

And no, I’m not talking about the inflation data or Warsh.

Every so often something happens in the market that makes you stop and think “something is going on here.”

We just had one of those moments.

When they happen, it’s important to pay attention because they’re rare and can mark a meaningful shift in positioning or sentiment.

Weekly Market Report 7/12/26

Za — Sun, 12 Jul 2026 12:44:05 GMT

The bears are licking their chops as the AI trade is called into question and AI stocks finally come under some pressure.

Was the past weeks revival in the AI trade a blip, or the start of something more?

Is this finally The Big Short 2.0?

We’ll get into that below, but one thing is clear:

It wasn’t until the AI trade was declared dead that it bounced.

And there’s a lesson in there. Could it resume lower? Yes, but the lowest risk buy spots often come when things look grim.

If you bought earlier this past week, you can put a stop at breakeven and sit comfortably. Low risk adds into key areas on pullbacks when everyone is sure the trade is done often mark the best risk/reward adds.

That’s why I notified subscribers in real time that I added a few AI stocks this past week, including everyones new favorite CBRS around $175.

The market feels close to making a decision about the broader direction from here as we’ve now spent the past 10 weeks chopping around in a range. This market has done nothing besides consolidate and build a big multi month base after a massive run.

A well deserved rest, some would say.

There’s been opportunity in this market, but we’re getting very close to the floodgates opening on that opportunity…

If you’re not already in the subscriber chat, I strongly suggest paying attention to it.

This is where I post all of my new trades as I enter them. I walk through the trade idea entirely including my thesis, risk level, cost basis, and more.

The market is inching closer to a decision point and I think major opportunity is near. Let’s get into it.

My Newest Long Term Investment

Za — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 20:33:33 GMT

The past week has presented some good opportunities.

If you all know me, I don’t want to chase something that has already gone up hundreds or thousands of percent. I also don’t want to buy something just because it was down, those are often value traps.

My goal is to find something with a real business, real revenue, massive partnerships, earnings, multiple ways to win, and a story that I felt the market wasn’t fully appreciating yet.

That’s usually where my favorite long term ideas come from, and I found one.

I don’t like to buy stocks where the entire thesis is realized and everyone loves it, I like looking for companies where where the market may be missing the big picture.

I’ve alerted subscribers to just three new long term investments so far this year in 2026.

INTC in the $30s (thesis + alert on the day of purchase here)
RDDT in the $130s (thesis + alert on the day of purchase here)
SOLS in the $70s (sold after buyout crushed the thesis)

I didn’t want to sell SOLS, but when I initiated the position, I didn’t anticipate the company buying a business larger than itself, taking on massive debt, and management showing they don’t care about shareholders.

The thesis changed, so I exited!

My motto in both trading and investing is simple. Big winners and small losers.

Intel and Reddit have been fantastic investments, and I think this next investment has a very good chance to be a big winner…

I also want to mention that over the past few weeks, I’ve been adamantly against the AI trade.

In numerous articles I discussed why I thought they were an avoid and why I wasn’t interested. All of my recent trades had been outside of the AI trade.

Until Tuesday.

On Tuesday, I published an article discussing why I thought the AI trade was buyable for the first time in a long time. Here’s a snippet:

If you wanted to take a few stabs on some AI infrastructure names around these levels, I think it’s reasonable for the first time in a few weeks…
These stocks are in a very interesting position right now.
Do I think buying SNDK at $1,600 is the same as buying at $750 just a few months ago? No I don’t.
Do I think buying SNDK here at $1,600 is lower risk than buying at $2,350 less than two weeks ago? Yes I do.
That’s really the big picture message, risk has been lowered enough to justify taking a position whereas in the past few weeks I’ve thought you were absolutely insane for buying something like SNDK MU etc. up where they were.

I also included my CBRS thesis and why I bought it at $175 on Tuesday.

Needless to say, it was time to buy the AI trade! We’ve seen big bounces across multiple AI stocks.

If you’re not already in the subscriber chat, I strongly suggest paying attention to it.

This is a pretty uncharacteristic long term investment for me, but I believe the opportunity was one I didn’t want to miss…

Time to Buy The AI Trade?

Za — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 20:34:02 GMT

That’s the question everyone is asking.

And it’s a good one, to be frank. Many AI stocks have been crushed off their highs and are now sitting near relevant levels, whether that’s price levels or moving averages.

For weeks I’ve been emphasizing that it’s not the time to initiate new positions in the AI trade.

Over the past few days that has become the consensus. Only after these stocks have been shot down off their highs and suffered major drawdowns has everyone turned cautious!

Market psychology at it’s finest…

Spotting rotations and new themes is critical in markets, and that’s what we’ve been doing here over the past few weeks.

There was no reason to buy AI infrastructure stocks as they went vertical without pulling back.

Now that everyone is convinced the AI trade is finished, is it time to buy…?

Weekly Market Report 7/5/26

Za — Sun, 05 Jul 2026 13:53:04 GMT

I hope you’re all enjoying the long weekend and had a chance to decompress.

America’s 250th birthday + the Fourth of July has come and gone, we’re going to get right back into business.

One major topic of conversation has been the “stalling” AI trade.

Breathe.

There are so many stocks with nice charts + setups outside of the AI trade. If these were AI stocks everyone would be all over them, instead it’s crickets out there.

The AI trade has been fun and could very well continue but ignoring the other groups and stocks out there is likely leaving a lot of money on the table.

I’ll get into that more later, but I’m seeing endless opportunity and tons of good ideas…

I want to preface this by saying I am emphatically bullish on AI as a technology. All because the stocks take a breather doesn’t say anything about the technology itself.

The FUD is still rampant from prominent figures and media outlets.

I think many people are still massively underestimating AI. Years from now, the world we live in today is going to look ancient. The same way the early to mid 2000s look ancient now.

I think AI is going to create a similar before and after moment to the iPhone, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Uber, etc. except this time the change could happen even faster. And while everyone argues about bubbles, capex, FUD, etc. the actual tech itself keeps advancing.

Fitting that this weekend was America’s 250th birthday and we’re going through such a revolutionary technological advancement…

What a time to be a market participant!

Despite the action in AI stocks, I’m seeing more opportunity than I have in a long time.

There’s a clear broadening in the market, and “other” groups are picking up speed with great charts, narratives, and catalysts.

We’re going to get into all of that and much more.

I’ve also added a new section to this weekly market report called “In Theme,” which highlights the strongest themes and groups in the market and the names in those groups.

I hope you enjoy. Let’s get into it.

The Ultimate Rotation Trade

Za — Thu, 02 Jul 2026 20:21:23 GMT

Market musical chairs.

If you weren’t part of the AI trade from early April until mid-late June, you missed out.

Now, the same people who missed that move decided last week was the time to start piling the leaders that have advanced many hundreds of percent.

Just as the trade changes.

This is textbook market psychology.

People ignore a trade when it’s early and end up chasing it only after the move becomes obvious and consensus.

That’s usually when the risk/reward starts to flip, and clearly the risk/reward on these stocks has flipped.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been emphasizing the fact that the next trade will be different and the AI infrastructure trade needed time to breathe. I even published an article on 5/28 titled “The Next Trade Will Be Different” here where I emphasized that the market was changing.

All of my new positions over the past few weeks like HOOD at $84 have come out of the AI infrastructure trade. Why? The risk reward flipped.

Now, we have a very different market and an environment that calls for something new, something most people haven’t been prepared for…

The Key to Finding the Biggest Trades

Za — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 21:17:06 GMT

Everyone always wants to know the magic sauce to trading.

The secret indicator, perfect setup, golden rule to profitability, etc.

We all want to capture the big trades like we’ve seen in stocks like ARM, MRVL, DELL, NBIS, SNDK, etc. but what exactly is the process for catching these types of monster moves?

It’s simple, but you need to know what to look for and how to manage them.

Weekly Market Report 6/28/26

Za — Sun, 28 Jun 2026 13:39:08 GMT

Word of the week is broadening.

Use cases for AI are expanding which means new companies and industries are starting to feel the downstream impact on their businesses.

The AI trade is spreading into healthcare, biotech, fintech, robotics, and other areas that were ignored while the market has been obsessed with the same few names over the past few months.

Could this be the Jurassic Park moment? In the movie, they thought they were just building a fun park.

In reality they were opening the door to something much bigger and harder to control than anyone expected.

That’s how AI feels right now. The market started by rewarding the companies building the infrastructure but now it feels like the technology is breaking out of the lab and moving into the real world.

Over the past few weeks there’s been a major emphasis on why being early is so important. That’s always been a major focus of this Substack, I want to be ahead of the crowd.

Semiconductors and AI infrastructure stocks have cooled off, with many pulling back 20% or more. This has left market participants asking “what’s happening?!”

You have to zoom out.

These stocks have gone on historic runs and rewarded early buyers with monstrous gains. Just look at the charts of names like SNDK, LITE, ARM, MRVL, etc. They’ve gone parabolic over the past two months.

Now the market is broadening and new opportunities are popping up everywhere.

If you recall, one month ago today I published an article titled “The Next Trade Will Be Different.”

In that article I was explicit that I thought the market was about to see major broadening and that it was time to start shifting focus from AI infrastructure into other groups.

Now one month later, everyone is talking about it. It pays to be early.

If you’re not already in the subscriber chat, I strongly suggest paying attention to it.

This is where I post all of my new trades as I enter them. I walk through the trade idea entirely including my thesis, risk level, cost basis, and more.

This past week I added multiple new positions in emerging groups. One was ABCL, it’s already up 30%!

The Next Magnificent Seven

Za — Thu, 25 Jun 2026 20:21:42 GMT

The Magnificent Seven are seven of the greatest businesses in history.

But who identified them early? And how did these investors identify them early?

Everyone talks about these companies now after they became obvious, but the biggest gains came when these companies were still a few things:

Misunderstood
Controversial
Doubted

Reality is that the biggest gains are reserved for those who take the earliest risk.

If you want to find the “next” Magnificent Seven, you have to look in places where people aren’t looking yet.

You have to look at the companies, themes, and groups that feel too early or risky.

That’s where the next market multi year leaders are being formed.

It’s important to always stay ahead, and I think this article does a good job of that!

The Rollercoaster Is Getting Violent

Za — Tue, 23 Jun 2026 21:54:52 GMT

The last few weeks have been filled with volatility.

What was once one of the cleanest trends we’ve seen in a year has quickly turned into what feels like a rollercoaster.

There’s been no shortage of catalysts and headlines over the past few weeks and together they’ve created a meaningful change in market structure.

That’s why it’s important to recognize these shifts as they happen. The market we’re in today isn’t the same market we were in coming off the April lows.

The action has gotten choppier and some of the biggest winners are finally starting to digest their massive moves.

On top of that, we have the memory trade, Micron earnings, Korea, Taiwan leverage, Fed fears, and a handful of other moving pieces weighing on sentiment.

There’s a lot to discuss…

Weekly Market Report 6/21/26

Za — Sun, 21 Jun 2026 13:34:08 GMT

First of all, happy fathers day to all the fathers out there!

This past week, we finally made it through every major catalyst the market had been worried about.

Whether it was inflation data, the SpaceX IPO, the Iran deal, or Kevin Warsh’s debut as the new Fed Chair, it appears as if everything the market was worried about is in the rearview for now.

That’s what you call a strong and resilient market.

It wasn’t without bumps or pullbacks, but the Nasdaq closed at a new all time weekly high. Meanwhile, bears had been arguing that SpaceX was going to drain liquidity from the market and Warsh was going to be so hawkish he’d crush the market.

Neither happened. Cue the “nothing ever happens” meme.

Despite all the volatility, we’ve been riding winners such as ARM, DELL, and MRVL from late March-early April. This has emphasized one thing:

You’ll never get a multi bagger if you’re always selling for crumbs.

Holding a winner is hard but if you want to see monster gains you have to hold on longer than you’d think. If you sell a winner for 25% after a “nice” win, you could miss out on hundreds of % gains.

Yes it can feel uncomfortable holding through volatility but as long as the chart structure is still healthy and in tact, there’s likely no reason to sell other than your emotions.

You won’t sell the top, forget about that. But always selling 25% too late vs. 200% too early is expensive. Get comfortable feeling uncomfortable while holding a big winner because it can change your life!

This is something I strongly emphasize in this Substack. You don’t need to constantly trade in and out of a name to make money. Oftentimes the best trade is finding the right stock, building conviction, and giving it enough room to become a monster winner.

If you’re not already in the subscriber chat, I strongly suggest paying attention to it.

The Magnificent Seven.
My portfolio.

This is my favorite market report in quite some time, it includes a few of my favorite ideas so far this year.

The Market Just Showed Its Hand

Za — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 21:02:58 GMT

Why? Because Kevin Warsh was “hawkish.”

Instead, the market exploded higher today and closed out the week with a monster day across multiple groups and sectors.

This reinforces one point. Price is the only thing that pays.

You can read all the headlines, pay attention to bears, etc. but at the end of the day none of that matters when price is telling you something different. And price spoke in a big way today.

Yesterday’s FOMC was perceived as hawkish and negative by many on social media over the last day, but the market said otherwise. And that’s all that matters, markets can remain irrational longer than one can remain solvent.

This is where I post all of my new trades as I enter them. I walk through the trade idea entirely including my thesis, risk level, cost basis, and more.

I added a new position today in an old retail favorite that everyone’s now forgotten about and left for dead… just as it bounces on support. More on that below.

In the remainder of this article I’m going to discuss my newest position I added today, what we learned at the FOMC yesterday, the SpaceX IPO and what opportunities I think are percolating in the space group, what I expect from the market from here, the AI trade broadly, and much more.

We got a lot of answers this week, and it’s important to understand everything that’s happened as I believe we learned a lot about where the market is headed.

The Market Is About To Change

Za — Tue, 16 Jun 2026 21:09:58 GMT

Every so often, a catalyst comes along that changes the trajectory of the market for the foreseeable future.

That catalyst is imminent. And I expect the market to change in a big way.

Right now, there are two doors for the market and Kevin Warsh.

One door leads to a dovish Fed, lower rate expectations, broader participation, and a continuation of this big rally.

The other door leads to a hawkish Fed, higher rate pressure, tighter financial conditions, and likely some broad market selling.

Tomorrow, Warsh chooses the door.

If you recall, I published an article nearly one month ago titled “The Next Trade Will Be Different” linked here. My thesis was that the market was about to broaden out and new sectors were about to participate, outside of the AI trade.

Since then there has been a major broadening.

Over the last one month:

RSP (Equal weight S&P 500): +4.97%
SPY: +1.80%

Now, I think the market is about to change again. In the age of AI markets change quickly…

This is arguably the biggest event of the year. It’ll pay to be prepared.

Weekly Market Report 6/14/26

Za — Sun, 14 Jun 2026 12:44:36 GMT

The deal between the U.S and Iran is scheduled to be signed today.

Could that change? Yes, things change quickly in this environment.

But it feels like the narrative from both sides has been much more constructive than it’s been in quite some time. This could be the finish line.

On top of that, the market absorbed the SpaceX IPO as well as it could’ve, despite the narrative that SpaceX was going to suck liquidity out of the market. I discussed this last week, a $75B raise wasn’t enough to drain the market of liquidity.

The past two weeks have been filled with plenty of volatility, but when you zoomed out you could see that nothing was structurally damaged or changed. Pullbacks in uptrends are normal!

This emphasizes something I talk about often, cost basis is so important.

Most leading stocks that made big moves over the past month pulled back 20–25% without breaking any key levels or major moving averages. This is where cost basis matters when evaluating whether to sell.

If you have a major cost basis advantage, a 25% drawdown in a stock you’re still up 120% on doesn’t feel nearly as painful as it does for someone who chased and has no cushion.

A strong cost basis gives you the ability to sit through volatility.

A stock can go up 100% in six weeks, pull back 25%, and only return to where it was a week or two weeks earlier. It can feel dramatic but in the context of a powerful uptrend it can simply be normal digestion.

If you’re not already in the subscriber chat, I strongly suggest paying attention to it.

When Fear Becomes Opportunity

Za — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 20:05:33 GMT

Tranquility: a noun that refers to the quality or state of being calm, peaceful, and free from disturbance, noise, or mental worry.

As market participants, tranquility is one of the most important traits we can have.

Why?

There is almost always light at the end of the tunnel. Markets are chaotic, emotional, noisy, and constantly trying to force a reaction out of us all. That’s especially true right now.

Last night I posted the following message to subscribers:

“I’m not saying don’t be cautious but getting overly bearish or short here is a bit risky.

The time to short or get very bearish was last week. Can we go lower? Sure but QQQ peak to low has corrected almost 9%, that’s relatively normal in an uptrend. Unless we’re about to crash or really crater, the worst is behind us.

For the worst to be ahead of us, we’d have to drop another 10% which would be almost a 20% correction.

SpaceX is building a lot of anxiety. Not only that, but this war is too. SpaceX IPO will pass and from there this war noise will simmer down as it has every single time so far.

Stay level headed and prepared. Things can turn quickly. Maybe we have another 5-6% lower to go, but even at that it wouldn’t match what we’ve already gone through. I personally don’t think we’re about to crash like we did in April 2025. Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t see it.

Not only do we have the largest and most anticipated IPO in history coming tomorrow with SpaceX, but we also have renewed tensions with Iran, inflation numbers, and the first FOMC with a new Fed Chair next week.

All of this is adding layers of uncertainty to the market. This is a lot to digest at once, and as a result the market is pulling back. Pullbacks in uptrends are normal. More on that tomorrow.”

And what a day we had today.

I spent this week adding multiple new positions including HOOD at $83x. I will explain why in depth below.

If you’re not already in the subscriber chat, I strongly suggest paying attention to it.

This is where I post all of my new trades as I enter them. I walk through the trade idea entirely including my thesis, risk level, cost basis, and more.

This is where I posted my three new positions in real time.

It’s basically become a live market group chat. We have a ton of smart people sharing ideas, setups, headlines, and observations throughout the day, and there’s a lot of genuine alpha in there.

I honestly believe it might be one of the most (if not the most active) subscriber chats on Substack.

In the remainder of this article, I’m going to discuss where I think we’re headed from here, the historical precedents for the action we’re seeing now with annotated charts, the average pullback within an uptrend, how to recognize when it’s time to buy, what I bought, and more.

I go in depth on several major uptrends and dissect the price action within each one to determine what’s normal, what’s not, and what typically happens before the market turns higher again.

I think this is my favorite article I’ve written to date and arguably the most important given the timing

I strongly suggest reading it because I think it will help you prepare for the eventual turn, rather than react emotionally when it happens.

The Market Has Sent A Warning

Za — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 21:21:32 GMT

Today was one of the wildest -1% days in the Nasdaq we’ve seen in quite some time.

The market has been hit by a tsunami of headlines over the past week and the pace isn’t expected to slow as we head into the next week or so.

Corrections and pullbacks are normal in uptrends, they’re a prerequisite for a healthy bull market.

Stocks that lead the market higher over a period of many weeks or months need to eventually pause. It’s expected for the stocks that have exploded higher over the past 8 weeks to pullback, reset, or even build bases.

But is what we’re seeing a normal pullback? Or something more?

That’s the question market participants are asking themselves, and I think I have a good answer.

Volatility is ramping and it’s important to be prepared for what might be coming…

In the remainder of this article I’m going to discuss the positions I bought today, my biggest focus group showing major relative strength, what I think is driving this market, where I think we’re going from here, my bull + bear scenarios, where I need to see the Nasdaq and S&P 500 hold with charts, the SpaceX IPO, and more.

This is the craziest week we’ve had in a long time. It’s important to be prepared.

Weekly Market Report 6/7/26

Za — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 16:45:17 GMT

Well Friday wasn’t fun, was it?

It felt like the market was a black hole, with the major indices down nearly 5% and pulling almost every stock down with it.

Reality is that if your portfolio wasn’t down a bit on Friday, it just means you weren’t in the leading stocks and likely haven’t participated in the monster move off the lows over the past two months.

Unless you sold the exact top, like so many are claiming they did… sure!

Volatility is the price of admission, and without volatility like we saw on Friday you’re not going to reap the rewards of a major bull market.

If you’re someone who bought leaders a 4-8 weeks ago and had a cost basis advantage, yesterday didn’t hurt as much as the headline numbers imply as most stocks retracted ONE weeks worth of gains.

Where traders get in trouble is when they start chasing high flying stocks when they’re extended after historic runs.

Looking at the one month return of most of the stocks that got crushed, they’re still up significantly.

The big picture lesson here is simple:

Don’t chase.

There is always another opportunity somewhere, whether it’s in the leading stocks or emerging potential leading stocks. You never need to chase because there’s almost always a new emerging opportunity somewhere.

This is an environment where everyone that missed the rally has been praying for a dip to get involved. Now that we got it, do those same people take advantage…?

In the remainder of this article I’m going to discuss where I think the market goes from here, an opportunity setting up in crypto, the SpaceX IPO and the potential opportunity tied to it, one stock that isn’t tied to the AI buildout set up in a massive base and has a history of running, my favorite charts, the news that Trump dropped this weekend that could have an impact on a number of stocks, and more.

The Midterms Trade Playbook

Za — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 22:10:11 GMT

Midterms are around the corner.

Historically, midterm years tend to bring more volatility as market participants weigh political uncertainty, shifting policy expectations, changing market leadership, different market dynamics, and an overall “vibe change.”

But volatility doesn’t only create risk, it can also create opportunity.

There are a few different groups of stocks that might be hinting at which group wins the midterms and as a result, which stocks and groups will benefit.

Remember, catalyst driven trades can be very lucrative.

If you recall, our SpaceX IPO playbook found here ended up being a home run. The best part of that trade was getting positioned before the narrative fully hit and everyone got on board.

I think this midterm setup could be similar.

I’m posting this a few months out because the market often prices things in early. By the time October and November come around, a lot of the move may already be done.

You want to be early. Not late.

If you’re not already in the subscriber chat, I strongly suggest paying attention to it.

This is where I post all of my new trades as I enter them. I walk through the trade idea entirely including my thesis, risk level, cost basis, and more.

In the past few weeks, I’ve alerted subscribers that I bought multiple new trading positions including:

FLNC at $17.8x
TE at $6.4x
NET at $204x
SMCI at $35x
PLTR at $133
RDDT at $160

In the remainder of this article, I’m going to discuss the midterm trades I think are setting up, which names I already own, the strongest groups and themes, the best names within each group, their charts, and more.

Think ahead. Midterms are a few months out, but like the SpaceX trade, you don’t want to be stuck buying too late.

Long Term Portfolio Overview

Za — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 20:00:19 GMT

Each quarter I like to step back and review my long term investments.

To preface, I have two portfolios. One is a long term portfolio that I do not touch often, and the other is a trading portfolio that I manage much more actively.

The key to holding through volatility and capturing bigger picture moves comes down to conviction.

Conviction comes from consistently revisiting the fundamentals, technicals, story, narrative, and thematic tailwinds behind each company. Things change quickly in the market, so I think it’s important to constantly review the thesis and reason behind each investment.

I’ve alerted subscribers to just three new long term investments so far this year in 2026.

INTC in the $30s (thesis + alert on the day of purchase here)
RDDT in the $130s (thesis + alert on the day of purchase here)
Newest position (thesis + alert on the day or purchase here)

In this article I’m going to walk through my thoughts on each of my long term tech holdings, my thesis and updated thoughts on each name, when I would consider buying more, my “stable” investment play, my long term investment watchlist shortlist, and more.

I do not discuss my long term portfolio often, usually only once per quarter or when I make a change so I want to use this article to give a full update on where my mind stands today.

My thoughts on a few positions have shifted since the last update, and I discuss that here.
