And Fannie and Freddie are stupidly cheap. Asymmetry at its best. They could be a 10X and it could happen soon.

Some of the highest quality businesses in the world are trading at extremely cheap prices. Ignore the MSM. One of the most one-sided wars in history that will end well for the U.S. and the world. And we have the potential for a large peace dividend. One of the best times in a long time to buy quality. Ignore the bears.




The $SMCI collapse isn’t just a scandal. It’s a massive wealth transfer and $DELL is the biggest recipient. Let me break it down. $SMCI was a great business with broken management. $12.7B revenue in Q2 FY26. +123% YoY. First to market with $NVDA B200/GB200 platforms. Aggressive pricing, fast execution. But the margins told a different story: > Gross margin: 6.3% (down from 11.8% a year earlier) > Operating cash flow Q1 FY26: -$917M They were buying revenue. Fast growth, cash burn, margin compression. A high-wire act that works only as long as trust holds. Trust didn’t hold. On March 19, the DOJ unsealed a federal indictment charging 3 $SMCI insiders, including co-founder Wally Liaw, with routing $2.5B in $NVDA powered AI servers through Southeast Asian shell companies into China. Fake documents. Dummy servers. Federal criminal case. And this is $SMCI THIRD major scandal in 6 years: > 2020: SEC settlement for accounting violations > 2024: Hindenburg report + auditor resignation > 2026: Federal criminal indictment of a co-founder At some point, it’s not bad luck. It’s culture. The day $SMCI dropped -33%, $DELL rose +8%. Enterprise customers, AI labs, neoclouds, sovereign AI projects, they all had to answer one question to their boards: “Are our servers linked to a DOJ investigation?” Nobody wants that answer to be yes. So they pivot. Fast. And $DELL is exactly where they pivot to. The $DELL numbers and they’re extraordinary: FY2026 full year: > $64B in AI server orders booked > $25B shipped > $43B backlog entering FY2027, signed business, not forecasts > Total revenue: $113.5B (+19% YoY), a record Q4 FY2026 alone: AI server revenue: $8.95B (+342% YoY) > Operating cash flow: $4.67B (+699% YoY) FY2027 guidance: > $50B in AI server revenue, double FY2026 > Total revenue: $138–142B IDC just named $DELL the #1 OEM in the global server market. 4,000+ AI customers. 8 consecutive quarters of enterprise buyer growth. The key difference nobody talks about: $SMCI: +123% revenue growth: -$917M cash flow $DELL: +342% AI revenue growth: +$4.67B cash flow Same market. Same chips. Completely different financial DNA. $DELL was competing with $SMCI on product. Now it competes with a ghost. What Wall Street is saying: > Wells Fargo: What is bad for $SMCI is good for $DELL > Wedbush: $DELL is the “most immediate beneficiary” > Melius Research: $DELL “biggest windfall yet” > Bloomberg Intelligence: “Reputation damage means risks for share losses to $DELL are heightened long term” The AI infrastructure market hits $758B by 2029. That demand doesn’t disappear because one supplier implodes. It redirects. $SMCI customers still need servers. Thousands of them. Now they need a supplier they can present to their legal team without flinching. $DELL has the scale, the relationships, the governance, and $43B in backlog already locked in. $SMCI implosion didn’t slow the AI buildout. It just changed who gets paid. The trade isn’t always the burning building. Sometimes it’s the fire station across the street.
