When VIX is close to 30 and when TNX stabilizes that’s when I’ll be buying the dip. In the meantime don’t react, or let emotions take a hold of you.

CXMT, China’s major DRAM producer, is entering global consumer memory supply chains

A Corsair DDR5-6000 16GB Vengeance module was spotted using ChangXin Technologies, CXMT, DRAM

DRAM supply is tightening because Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron are prioritizing HBM, LPDDR5X, and other AI-related memory products. That leaves less capacity for standard PC DRAM, forcing module makers like Corsair to look for alternative suppliers

CXMT is improving quickly. It is already offering DDR5 up to 8000 MT/s, with 16Gb and 24Gb dies, while other Chinese memory companies are also pushing into DDR5 RDIMMs for data centers and workstations

The Corsair kit shown is DDR5-6000, CL36, which is roughly in line with common Samsung and SK Hynix-based DDR5 kits at similar specs

THIS IS WHERE THE MARKET ROTATES NEXT.

I still believe AI goes much higher long term.

But right now:
• the market is stretched
• positioning is overcrowded
• and rotations happen FAST when momentum cracks

If AI hardware slows down even temporarily, this is where I think money rotates next:

DEFENSE / WAR
$LMT $PLTR $BA $RTX $AVAV $KTOS

POWER / NUCLEAR
$VRT $ETN $CEG $OKLO $SMR $UEC

SPACE / SATELLITE
$RKLB $ASTS $PL $LUNR $IRDM

DEFENSIVE / STABILITY
$WMT $KO $JNJ $PEP $XOM $NEM $JCI

ENTERPRISE AI / SOFTWARE
$NOW $CRM $ORCL $MDB $SNOW $TEAM

AI INFRASTRUCTURE
$ANET $NBIS $APLD $AVGO $MRVL

OPTICS / DATA MOVEMENT
$LITE $AAOI $CIEN $COHR

STAGE 2 / ROTATION SETUPS
$CRCL $CRWV $IREN $V

HIGH UPSIDE
$SMCI $DAL

CURRENT RELATIVE STRENGTH
$CGNX $APLD $RKLB $ASTS

I am also sitting in 30-40% cash now to buy dips.

One image that explains the next trillion dollar industry better than any analyst report.

Building a humanoid robot requires an 8-layer supply chain most people have never thought about:

Energy ($UUUU, $OKLO) → Chips ($TSM, $AMD, $NVDA, $ASML) → AI models ($GOOG, $TSLA) → Data centers ($CRWV, $IREN, $NBIS) → Servers ($DELL, $CLS, $CSCO) → Sensors ($ADI, $OUST, $CGNX) → Batteries ($QS, $ABAT) → Testing ($TER)

The companies supplying AI infrastructure saw $318 billion in spending last year alone. That doubled from the year before.

Now add the robotics demand on top. Tesla is converting its Fremont factory from cars to robots. Figure AI just helped BMW build 30,000+ vehicles with humanoid workers.

The robots are here and the supply chain to build them is investable today.

@Panic_n_Sell HBM is mainly produced in South Korea by Samsung and SK Hynix. I don’t see China getting that tech anytime soon.

Exited $MU and $WDC. My view is that China will increasingly pressure the market with lower-cost alternatives.

Back in $AMD, and I’ve started building a position in $NOW. I think ServiceNow could become a major platform for AI agents in the workplace.
