I look at all markets. Sectors, asset classes, bonds, metals, energy, and sentiment. Why? Because there is a finite amount of liquidity in the system, and it all has to go somewhere. The main driver is fundamentals, but every now and then, macro comes into play. We have literally gone straight up for the last 6 weeks. Sure, it might be time for a pullback, but it was also time 2 weeks ago. However, let’s not kid ourselves, the last 6 weeks have been the most outstanding performance of my our career. You can never sell the top, and you’ll never catch the bottom consistently. My best ideas have done VERY well YTD and have had breakneck rallies in the last 6 weeks. No, I didn’t go all in on software. I also didn’t go all in on oil stocks at the worst time possible or FOMO into $NBIS or $MRVL today. I have been looking hard at leading themes every day. No breaks. That is exactly what I do. And I love it. I learn every day from everyone. There are so many people to thank, but the job is not over. The job is never done. Keep going. Whether long, short, flat… just keep going. I ALWAYS will. This is my vow to the community. God bless. 🫡

The drawdown across fintech continues getting brutal with $SOFI now down 43% YTD, trailing weakness seen across $KLAR, $FOUR, and $TOST as capital continues rotating away from the sector. To me, this increasingly looks less like isolated company weakness and more like a broad market rotation out of fintech, software, and emerging markets as investors buy the largest beneficiaries of the AI infrastructure buildout. That rotation continues heavily favoring semiconductors and infrastructure tied to $NVDA and $ARM for compute, $MRVL and $AVGO for networking and ASICs, memory suppliers $MU and $SNDK, and AI infrastructure buildout $NBIS, $WULF, $IREN, and $APLD.

@ThePupOfWallSt Up 2% in Frankfurt and more in UK

@Sam_Badawi do the Germans like $MU? asking for a friend

$NBIS IS UP 7% IN THE GERMAN STOCK MARKET $YDX.F for the addicts

@ThemesETFs Imagine.. wow

⚠️ Export bans crushed NVIDIA’s China sales But Jensen Huang still sees a potential $50B AI market there. China + Hong Kong once made up 25% of NVIDIA revenue. Today it’s just 6%. Yet $NVDA still appears unwilling to give up on the market.

@BitcoinTina Here you go sir youtube.com/watch?v=2Ryr95…

@Sam_Badawi Is there a link to the full talk?

Gavin Baker built a massive position in $ALAB around the AI infrastructure theme, and the stock has now crossed $300. He thinks AI is different and that we are NOT in a bubble. He expresses this thesis behind many of his top holdings, including $NVDA, $MU, and $AMZN.

$ASTS:

Update on $NVDA CEO Jensen Huang in Taiwan Work hard, play hard.

@Sam_Badawi When did they say this?

According to J.P. Morgan, $QCOM’s datacenter opportunity spans custom silicon, CPUs, and AI accelerators, with management expecting meaningful revenue contribution beginning in FY2027. They also highlighted Qualcomm’s advantages in low-power compute, $ARM architecture expertise, and software integration, positioning it to benefit from AI growth across datacenters, automotive, robotics, and next-generation consumer devices.

@amitisinvesting That’s weird. $MSFT is green?

Because we are all addicts, here are some of the biggest US stocks & what they are trading at in USD converted from their current price in the German markets 😂 Market likes the potential closure of the Iran situation...

@MacroBombastic Gavin likes to buy companies that present an asymmetric risk reward. $U is a leveraged play on the growth of real-time 3D content, mobile gaming, digital twins, and AI-driven creation tools, with profitability improving. I can see that myself too.

@Sam_Badawi Mate, you're really digging deep into Gavin's portfolio. That's the kind of research I love to see. What do you think about his position on $U? Is it just me or does that one stand out as a bit of an oddball in there?

Gavin Baker has built a $4.1B portfolio around one core belief: AI is not a bubble, it's the next computing platform, and the biggest winners will be the companies building the infrastructure that powers it. Top Holdings: $ALAB - 8.99% $U - 6.62% $CIEN - 6.40% $MU - 6.26% $NVDA - 5.31% $AMZN - 4.84% $LITE - 4.58% $GOOGL - 3.89% $COHR - 3.66% Other notable holdings include $CRDO, $PANW, $VST, $AKAM, $RBLX, $TSLA, $CRWV, $AXON, $SMTC, and $SNPS.

$RDW continues to expand its lunar infrastructure portfolio, delivering a robotic arm prototype to ESA that could play a key role in future Argonaut Moon missions. The MANUS system is designed for cargo handling, regolith sampling, and rover support, with the first Argonaut lunar lander currently targeted for launch in 2030.

$GOOGL was trading at nearly half of today’s valuation just last fall before this now-iconic interview where CEO Sundar Pichai said parts of the AI boom contained “elements of irrationality” while still comparing AI’s long-term impact to the internet revolution. The important takeaway is that even many of the companies leading the AI buildout acknowledged excess speculation early on, yet hyperscaler spendingfrom $AMZN and $MSFT, inference demand, and enterprise adoption have continued accelerating far faster than most investors expected.

Chamath Palihapitiya said $SPCX SpaceX may be building "the most important internet infrastructure project since the internet itself." The bigger point is that AI isn't just about models or GPUs. It's about owning the full stack of infrastructure, including compute, connectivity, launch capacity, energy, and deployment. That's why Starlink has become the primary driver of SpaceX's revenue growth.

Anthropic's revenue growth continues accelerating rapidly, with reports suggesting it could reach profitability sooner than expected while maintaining one of the fastest ARR growth rates in AI. The second-order effect is that hyperscalers like $AMZN, $MSFT, $GOOGL, and $META may need to increase AI CapEx even further, benefiting infrastructure providers such as $NVDA, $AMD, $AVGO, and $TSM as training and inference demand continues to climb.

Global internet adoption continues accelerating rapidly, especially across emerging markets, which reinforces the enormous long-term opportunity for low Earth orbit connectivity infrastructure from platforms like $ASTS and $SPCX Starlink. As demand for global broadband coverage expands, expect launch cadence to continue accelerating as well, which should remain a major long-term tailwind for launch providers like $RKLB.
