Tracking the narratives, signals and risk shifts that move markets before consensus catches up.





























I flagged at the beginning of the year to subscribers how explosive the CPU bottleneck could become for $INTC in 2026. Intel is building the x86 server CPU layer of the AI inference stack through Xeon data center processors which are now supply-constrained with six-month lead times and cumulative 2026 price increases above 30%. CEO Lip-Bu Tan confirmed the demand driver directly on the Q1 call by noting that AI’s shift from foundational model training toward inference and agentic workloads is driving CPU demand faster than the supply chain can catch up with both pricing and output improvements guiding higher into Q2. Incredible seeing how quickly America’s turnaround story has become one of the cleanest AI infrastructure bottleneck trades in the market.







PETER LYNCH’S FAVORITE METRIC IS THE PEG RATIO PEG < 1 usually means mispriced growth PEG > 2 starts to push into the danger zone Semiconductor multi-year PEG ratios: • $INTC ~3.2x • $AMAT ~2.5x • $KLAC ~2.5x • $ARM ~2.2x • $ALAB ~2.1x • $ANET ~2.0x • $LRCX ~2.0x • $AAOI ~1.6x • $ASML ~1.6x • $COHR ~1.4x • $CRDO ~1.1x • $NVDA ~0.9x • $TSM ~0.9x • $AVGO ~0.9x • $AMD ~0.8x • $SNDK ~0.7x • $ON ~0.7x • $MRVL ~0.6x • $LITE ~0.6x • $MU ~0.2x








The ONLY Chart you need for $NVDA Last week we saw a very nice follow through week, pushing back to that $200 resistance level. It wouldn’t surprise me to see some consolidation at this resistance level. Similar to what we saw back in April/May of 2025, before breaking out to new highs $240+ Lots of Bears calling for $140 and below over the last few weeks, all of which are now very quiet! What’s your $NVDA prediction for this year?
