@billcai_ @r0b0t_sp1der @signulll Nobody working in AI is "one of the smartest people in the world". This is breathless hype. You people are worshipping these false idols just because they're headhunted for billion dollar salaries. But salary does not equal true brilliance. Learn some Nobel laureates' names.

@r0b0t_sp1der @signulll This guy is one of the smartest people in the world without exaggeration. Worked in China with some of the smartest people in the country and they all knew this guy by name.

Semis selling off because of Kimi 3 makes no sense I’m surprised we have to come back to Jevons paradox after all this time I thought we were already clear on this after DeepSeek

Hi! Programmer here! Even using auto-complete counts as vibe coding! Vibe coding is AI slop and is unethical btw! I hope this helps! I can’t believe this has to be said! Wow!

I'll say it once. My strategy for July 13 is: Everyone wanted: $MU at $1,300 and is hesitating at $979. $SNDK at $3,000 and is hesitating at $1,915. $MRVL at $350 and is hesitating at $235. $CRDO at $400 and is hesitating at $257. $ALAB at $650 and is hesitating at $412. $APLD at $65 and is hesitating at $31. $ASTS at $160 and is hesitating at $73. $LUNR at $42 and is hesitating at $16. Warren Buffett: A lower price feels dangerous only when conviction was borrowed from the crowd. Six months from now, investors will call these moves obvious. Today, they still require patience. Psychology never changes.

I think the reason hyperscalers are being punished but $MU is surging is simple. Memory prices are the cost to play the game. The game being AI. The cost to play increased but the rewards haven't. So playing the game is less valuable.

@zeitgeist_labs My main worry is that companies wanting memory doesn’t equal companies willing and able to pay for it. I’m not seeing strong evidence of ROI for agentic usage to justify the economics behind sustaining a 20 trillion memory industry.

Not sure how I feel about $MU running into ER. My instinct is to lock in profits but also I’m thinking what does it matter in the short term if this is an easy $1800-$2000 stock anyway

@bubbleboi This makes sense but shit like this is how bubbles happen. Not because the concept is flawed but because it opens the doors for idiots to take it too far.

There is a good chance the capital needed to build out AI infrastructure is so large, and the returns so much higher, that it pulls buyers away from U.S. treasuries leading to higher yields & funding costs for the government. Why would you lend to the government at 4.5% when Microsoft, Google, & Amazon are offering paper at a spread, print 100B+ a year in cash flow, and earn 30%+ returns on capital? This might single handily save underfunded pensions & social security lol. Don’t just look at the ~$725B in hyperscaler capex, add the debt for fab expansion, memory capacity, power, and grid that’s about 3–5 trillion dollars through 2030. That’s on the same order of magnitude as what the Treasury will auction over the same period lol. All the stock offerings from Google to Supermicro I think are just the start, we are going to start seeing private capex compete with the government for capital lmaoooo.

$GFS is worth a look. Initial thoughts are that I can't understand why this company is not up 100% ytd. Digging deeper, they have tough competition with TSM and Intel especially if photonics trends towards GPU-integration as opposed to independent supply chains, however given how hyped photonics is, this stock is probably due for an increase.

$DOCN is the cloud platform that benefits the most from agentic AI use. It used to be only big companies that needed cloud, but with the rise of agents, which drive cloud infrastructure demand, smaller companies need cloud too. Digital Ocean is the cloud platform for startups.

@michaelxbloch I don't buy this to be honest. Relying on the common employee to become a founder is a weak thesis. Moreover, as margins get pushed to zero due to competition no one makes any money anyways. Salary is paid through margins not revenue.

Are buy-side analysts usually this aggressive with their numbers? They're throwing out ranges I wouldn't have even dared to suggest.

I used to struggle a lot with finding stocks that were optically expensive, I could bridge them in the bull case to actually being cheap on future numbers but I could never get comfortable enough to buy them. The best way to overcome that, I’ve found, was to stop thinking in such binary terms and realize that you can always weight appropriately. Nothing should be viewed as all or nothing. If you find a name that you can reasonably underwrite 5x-ing, but that’s insanely expensive and could just as easily be down 50%, you can always weight it appropriately to manage that risk. It’s perfectly fine either way and there’s many ways to make money, but if you don’t want to sit out the entirety of the late cycle then learning how to weight opportunities relative to their risk/reward is pretty important.
Citrini@citrini

The valuation absolutely worries me. You can back out of the post I made on our AI basket’s YTD contributors (linked) how these are weighted. So you just have to do some scenario analysis - what is the % probability that Minimax catches up to OpenAI or Anthropic? At IPO Minimax was at ~6B mkt cap. If that scenario were to come to pass, you’d expect it to trade a lot higher, so even a 5% chance warranted some premium (now it’s at 33B). But at the same time, like you said, the valuation is crazy and there was an equal shot that sentiment turned and they were down 50% overnight. Although these labs have been making good progress so it was reasonable to expect some positive headlines. I think the way you frame it is far too binary. If you have a setup where the risk to the downside is 50% but the upside is a 6x…risk $1 to make $5 is a pretty good proposition. Do you just own zero of it because there’s a chance it’s down 50%? I would say no, you own some and weight it appropriately. Decisions don’t happen in a vacuum they happen in the context of your entire portfolio. Yes, if we’d made 100% of the book these names that would be gambling. Making them 0% of the book I think would have been being far too cautious and missing out on an opportunity. So we weighted them appropriately. x.com/citrini7/statu…
