Here's a bunch of random 30 US-available random stocks I like today and why:
1. $INTC - America's hope for foundry, national security
2. $MRVL - scales rev from future maia asics and add ons like cpo, they do everything lost count
3. $TSM - backbone of semis/ai
4. $COHR - They do everything vertically integrated + captures optical cycle
5. $RKLB - the final frontier of space will be around 5 years from now and 20 years from now.
6. $DRAM - memory exposure for samsung/sk hynix
7. $AVGO - hyperscalers dont like nvidia gpu tax
8. $AMZN - nobody can compete against the overnight shipping of toilet paper. robotics will lower opex over time
9. $ARM - AGI CPUs scale revenue quite a bit over the next decade
10. $TSEM - you're going to need a foundry for light based stuff
11. $IBIT - bitcoin, we all know by now
12. $NBIS - i think it's the next AWS. Also they do self-driving cars with uber, own scaling DB companies, data labeling. It's almost like a mini Google.
13. $GOOGL - youtube is not going away, gemini is great. they're vertically integrated with TPUs and fund buildout with operating income so i like it.
14. $AMKR - super facilities coming online in late 2027-2028. benefits from made in america
15. $HOOD - i dont like short term, but long term i'm a fan of Robinhood since they captured retail + have more products like banking, etc that they're scaling up. product innovation is wild.
16. $CRCL - I happen to really like stablecoins and see them as the future for both payments/holding (depends on clarity act)
17. $META - people aren't going to stop using instagram or whatsapp, or others anytime soon.
18. $LITE - $GOOGL TPU exposure decently high part of BOM. As long as Google's AI program keeps running I think $LITE will do well.
19. $LPTH - Germanium and China export controls will always be an issue so US made engineered alternatives will always be important
20. $FN - Someone needs to assemble optical stuff
21. $JBL - same as above, but added with ip from Intel's SiPh acqusition so might end up like innolight?
22. $MP - American rare earths program is extremely important, similar to $INTC national security risks
23. $HIMS - Okay here me out they just acquired a ton of companies, and at $19 they have global DTC channel. short sellers really hate this company, but I think it's actually promising as a contrarian long
24. $SMTC - LRO/LPO transition
25. $POWL - US alternative to hammond for switchgear DC type bottleneck
26. $VPG - Humanoids will be a thing down the road maybe 2027-2028, this makes the sensors.
27. $MOG.A - Feels like i see them everywhere in robotics, to spacex supply chains
28. $MSFT - At $375, one day we'll look back and see this as a buying opportunity.
29. $CVX - oil might crash after war but these oil companies are going to be extremely important, especially when Venezulea is a goldmine.
30. $XLU - i think rate cuts might be back online, we need power/grid for AI so these names will always be improtant from $CEG to $NEE
Just throwing out other thoughts aside from $AAOI and $AEHR.
Just very helpful timelines reiterated around glass substrate (source: Trendforce):
- SKC Absolics (011790) H2 2026 (first mover x $AMAT) - $AMD customers
- Samsung electromechanics h2 2027 (009150) x Sumitomo Chem (4005) - Apple / $AVGO / hyperscalers
Idk about $INTC 2030 reports, we’ll see.
$TSM CoPoS was 2-3Y was correct though from recent TSM chairman comments. Innolux was interesting beneficiary. $SHMD should be too off TSM but financials were pretty toxic.
Same players should appear multiple times, eg innolux + SKC.
Also applies to $LPK and upstream equipment seller around these ramps.
First Bitcoin retracement level hit.
1. Local range low (blue)
Not trying to catch a knife here. Staying patient and seeing if it forms a setup and gives us a trigger.
By looking at the ranges, though, the probability of another move down has gone up.
Since the invalidation with a close below 74k, we got acceptance back into the local blue range. After that deviation back into the range, price quickly got nuked into the range low around 61k.
"When price deviates back into a range, it often moves quickly towards the opposite side of the range."
We've deviated back into more ranges besides the local 61-75k range (blue):
→ back into the red range on the left
→ back into the macro range
2. Ideal level: macro mid-range
There's one level with major confluence: the macro mid-range.
→ first macro key level after the macro range high deviation
→ also the range low of the red range on the left
Ideally, even after some sort of bounce first, we dip into the macro mid-range and look for a mini-cycle bottom there.
I'm still viewing this as a mini-cycle correction within a bigger macro cycle.
If we dip into that level and form a mini-cycle base (maybe slightly below, in the blue support above the 0.25), it would be an amazing setup with a clear trigger once we break out of that base.
It would also line up nicely with the 4-year cycle, summer seasonality, and give us time to enjoy eurosummer lol.
Bitcoin triggers remain the same:
Low confidence
1 → Form a base and trigger here at the lows of the local blue range. Will need a tight invalidation and a strong setup.
High confidence
2 → Dip into the macro mid-range and form a base there.
3 → Reclaim macro range high (above 74k roughly)
