Managing L/S Book. Fear causes hesitation, and hesitation will cause your worst fears to come true. I don’t trade for direction, I trade for distribution.

Most people are learning about memory stocks through AI news or their favorite financial influencers, who themselves only recently discovered the sector. Here’s my edge: I’ve actually bought memory directly from these suppliers. During my time at a Fortune 50 tech company, I worked as a Memory Operational Commodity Manager, giving me firsthand knowledge of how the industry operates and how the major semiconductor suppliers think. That direct relationship with their largest clients and understanding of their supply chain constraints, is something you can’t get from Twitter threads or financial media. Recently, major tech firms are now offering to pay for SK Hynix’s equipment capex. If you understand semiconductor economics, you know this is absolutely unprecedented. It signals desperation for supply and is massively bullish for the memory supercycle ahead. By subscribing, you’re getting analysis from someone who actually lived inside this industry not just someone reading about it. That’s the difference between surface-level commentary and real conviction. Join the LRMI community today! $MU $DRAM $NVDA $SMH $SNDK $WDC $SKHYNIX lrmi.ai/p/we-dont-own-…

Kioxia’s revenue in the 4th quarter soared 188.9% year-on-year to ¥1.0 trillion yen (US$6.3B), as NAND prices (ASPs) more than doubled, the company said. It forecast revenue +74.5% to ¥1.75T in the current quarter vs Q4. Full year sales rose 37% to ¥2.34T ($14.8B). FY2026 capex is seen ¥450B vs ¥283.7B in FY2025.

@TheDadspective @AutismCapital You disappoint me. What has confidence got to do with inferiority and superiority?? You can be superior to one & have less confidence, and vice versa. "It's a theory" 😂, don't embarrass yourself.

Our 🐐 visiting Korea How can you not be bullish on Korean Equities anon? $EWY $DRAM
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent@SecScottBessent

In my meeting with President @jaemyung_lee of South Korea, I thanked him for both his hospitality and for the strong alliance between the United States and South Korea. During our broad-ranging discussion, I noted South Korea’s strong economic performance and affirmed the United States’ commitment to advancing economic cooperation between our nations. We also addressed issues pertaining to critical minerals and the implementation of the U.S.-Korea investment agreement.
