Thoughts:
Strong Buy:
GOOGL - $85B raise is dilutive but they actually have ROI on their capex. Tbh, they'll probably always be a Strong Buy for me. Just the cleanest AI ROI among all the megacaps.
MU / SNDK / SK Hynix - If you're not bullish on memory, then idk for you.
Buy:
AMZN - Mainly for AWS reacceleration + Trainium. But some tension comparing AWS growth (+17%) vs Azure (+31%). Feel like custom silicon + distribution combo is durable even if growth rate lags a bit.
AEHR - H2 ramp in WLBI/PLBI systems coming, anchored by "significant" follow-on Sonoma order from lead hyperscale customer. Just need to wait a bit esp. for rev to inflect. But AI ASIC burb in is mandatory as device power goes up.
AAOI - Q3 capacity ramp (via facility expansion in Texas) toward 650k+ 800G/1.6T units/mth. Capacity coming online is the catalyst imo along w/ already known laser bottleneck + Made in US premiums.
CIEN - Just a high quality biz that got pounded last week (-22%). Beat + raise earnings, but stock dropping this much is an overreaction. CEO even said demand is "structural, multi year and AI-driven" shown by AI-driven DCI being their fastest growing part of the order book as new long-haul routes get built for latency and bandwidth.
COHR - upcoming CPO ramp (Nvidia spectrum-x) will speed things up, these prices will look cheap when we look back imo.
CRDO - Personally bought a ton last week post-earnings drop. Like Ciena, v. high quality compounding hold through the whole AI supercycle. Crazy high margins. Obviously compete w/ Marvell/Broadcom on SerDes, but also need to factor in the 1.6T switch replacement cycle into late 2026.
DELL - Trump effect. I've learnt my lesson and will listen to him next time.
FN - v. low drama way to ride transceiver demand + iPronics sipho line for cpo. New datacom wins also extending into next FY, although some Nvidia conc. risks. Put them in Buy just to be generous as was unsure tbh.
FORM - Important for HBM, adv packaging and CPO for higher yields. Foundry test intensity only set to increase w/ production.
GLW - Lead glass core substrates which are an advanced packaging bottleneck. LTP w/ Nvidia to expand US optical manufacturing for AI infra too.
JBL - Stock has done nothing for a month, but earnings coming up could be a nice catalyst for a push higher from their DC infra segment growing + outpacing drag from legacy mobility/ev exposure / margin mix.
LITE - CPO ramp + Nvidia qualification like Coherent.
MDB - AI is not replacing them. Imo they win vs. bolt on vector stores since their architecture is so simple.
MRVL - going to $1T according to Jensen. Underlying business is solid though esp. w/ Celestial acquisition for photonics. SPY inclusion last week too is a big positive.
MSFT - Current valuations are a joke tbh, markets probs punishing some margin compression. Rev +18%, Azure +40%, AI run rate +123%. So, v. clear enterprise monetisation path. Will be buying next week in retirement account.
NBIS - Best neocloud by far. They're a $100B biz vs. ~$57B currently. Jensen: "Nebius will take care of you."
NOW - AI is not replacing them. No enterprise CEO/CTO is dumb enough to offboard them at this point.
NVDA - Same as Microsoft. Been buying this whole time, but am now even more confused at current cheap valuations.
RDDT - AI is not replacing them. Cash printer. ARPUs improving also in legacy segments like international.
RKLB - #2 in commercial launch after SpaceX + their IPO should re-rate the entire space comp set where RKLB is the main liquid proxy. Unbelievable earnings also, just executing so well rn.
SIVE - everyone on X knows at this point?
Hold:
ARM - current valuation prices in flawless execution imo. But their IP is growing in DC CPUs e.g. Nvidia grace, AWS Graviton etc.
ASML - Elon said yesterday: "ASML should be treasured and supported. It is arguably the greatest company in Europe." - I agree. Also Terafab fireside chat next week High-NA EUV is the next leg, locking in the roadmap through the decade. Could also be a "Buy" for more risk averse people.
AVGO - CEO didn't raise >$100B FY27 target + flagged that Google will multi-source. Current AI mix is also diluting margins slightly. Just needed a pullback before the thesis starts working again.
AXTI - InP substrate bottleneck, crucial for AI buildout rn. Could also buy rn, just a slow dca since they've run up a ton already + raise completed ($632M) to 2x InP capacity.
BE - SOFC winner imo (Ceres 2nd). Don't think it's a buy just yet due to some valuation vs. profitability gaps.
META - hold based on capital allocation mainly. Market seems wary of the ROI on their AI capex hence the continuous dips. Also potential raise to fund capex like Google too - once that digests, I'll personally look to buy.
MTSI - Big fan of their investment into $IQE since it de-risks operations a lot, but just think COHR/LITE are better options for 800G/1.6T transition.
PLTR - Relatively poor Risk:Reward at current multiples.
SOFI - rate sensitivity. Loan book + credit performance carry macro risk which caps conviction rn. Some positives though w/ young + growing member base. Would need to look at credit trends + Fed path in June FOMC to re-assess.
Avoid:
CBRS - avoid at current prices. Would want it to come down closer to ~$40B mc before I look to dca. Would love to hold since they own genuinely unique tech.
CRWV / IREN - Financing for both is a mess...debt/dilution. Nebius are just a better multi yr neocloud.
HIMS - Forced out of higher margin GLP1s into lower margin braded GLPs from Novo/Lilly. Feel like their moat was to do w/ regulatory arbitrage on compounding. With that gone, it's a customer acquisition + churn biz buying branded drugs at lower margin.
IBIT / BTC - Macro setup is hostile. Higher rates for longer (10Y ~4.54%, 30Y >5%) raise opportunity cost. Pure liquidity/risk appetite instrument + both are tight rn.
ETH - same as bitcoin.
MELI - personally a little confused - either a hold/avoid. Seeing some margin compression via their credit book growing faster than revenues. Talks of margin recovery next year, at which point the stock could re-rate.
SNAP - Absolute worst social media app + CEO is a weirdo. Platform keeps losing share to Meta/Tiktok.
TSLA - Huge competition from other EV makers shown by production > deliveries volumes. Humanoids will be their next key growth driver, just a little while away.
SPCX (SpaceX) IPO: I never personally participate in IPOs + SpaceX specifically is way too overvalued for me. Will be going long eventually though. Rough ballpark would be ~$1.5T if it gets there post IPO.

Just for very high level notes at current stock prices (NFA).
I'm personally staying long despite the current macro backdrop, mainly in AI supercycle names e.g. memory, semis etc.
But then you also have great companies at depressed prices, mainly in SaaS which I'm DCA'ing currently.
I don't hold positions in all of these names. This is just a subset that overlaps my "Close Tracking" list + X's favourite names.
President Trump is buying AI stocks again.
Last time he did this, the names he touched ran:
$INTC $20 → $130 → +550%
$MU $320 → $1,100 → +244%
$DELL $235 → $470 → +100%
$IBM $220 → $330 → +50%
Four trades. Zero losers. Average return: +236%.
Now look at what's in his portfolio this round:
🇺🇸 $NOW — #1 position
🇺🇸 $ORCL
🇺🇸 $MSFT
🇺🇸 $AVGO
🇺🇸 $CDNS
🇺🇸 $BA
🇺🇸 $ONDS
🇺🇸 $PUSA (his son owns this one)
Eight names. All American. All AI-adjacent.
All sitting at strategic chokepoints of the next decade:
→ Enterprise AI orchestration ($NOW, $ORCL, $MSFT)
→ AI silicon design ($AVGO, $CDNS)
→ Defense-aerospace AI ($BA)
→ Drones + sovereign tech ($ONDS, $PUSA)
The pattern is identical to last cycle.
Public backing → unusual options flow → institutional accumulation → 30-day melt-up → retail catches on 60 days late.
If you missed $INTC at $20 and $MU at $320, the playbook is sitting right in front of you again.
Everyone telling you "it's too late for AI" said the same thing about $INTC at $40.
It went to $130.
🔖 Bookmark this post and We revisit each name in 90 days.
I'll only say it once. This might be the fastest way to accumulate $3 million by the end of 2026.
My June advice:
$TSM (TSMC) → $418 Must buy
$ONDS (Ondas) → $8 Strong Buy
$NVDA (Nvidia) → $225 Strong Buy
$AVGO (Broadcom) → $392 Must buy
$NOW (ServiceNow) → $107 Strong Buy
$ASTS (AST SpaceMobile) → $89 Must buy
$MRVL (Marvell Technology) → $277 Must buy
I often get asked why I don't turn this into paid content, but for me, sharing stock information is just a hobby. I'm not financially struggling, so I choose to share it for free.
NFA
$SPY crashed 3% in 1 day and everyone panicked.

DO NOT MISS this dip opportunity, you don't have to be a genius to be a millionaire by 2030.
♻️ RESHARE this post and write 1 comment, I'll DM you my favorite 5 stocks to buy to 10x my portfolio.
🚨 EVERYTHING THAT COULD GO WRONG FOR MARKETS WENT WRONG TODAY.
S&P 500 down -1.65%, wiping out $1.14 trillion.
Nasdaq down -2.60%, wiping out $1.11 trillion.
Gold down -3.38%, wiping out $1 trillion.
Silver down -6.9%, wiping out $280 billion.
Bitcoin down -6.31%, wiping out $80 billion.
In total $2.5 TRILLION wiped out in a single session. These were not isolated moves. Everything started breaking at the same time.
It started with the jobs report this morning.
The US economy added 172,000 jobs in May. Wall Street expected 88,000. That is almost double.
On any normal day, strong jobs is good news. But inflation is already at 3.8% and oil is sitting at $90. A labor market this strong tells the Fed it cannot cut interest rates and may actually need to raise them.
The probability of a rate hike this year went from 40% to 57% in a single day. That spooked every investor holding tech and growth stocks because higher rates mean those stocks are worth less today.
Then the AI trade started cracking.
Yesterday Broadcom reported record earnings: revenue up 48%, AI chip sales up 143% and the stock still crashed 12.6%. The reason was simple.
Broadcom did not raise its AI revenue targets for the year. Investors had expected it to. That single miss made people ask a question they had been avoiding for months: are we paying too much for AI stocks?
That question got louder today when a research firm called SemiAnalysis revealed that Nvidia's next-generation AI chips will need significantly less memory than everyone assumed, roughly half of what the market was pricing in.
Memory chips are what companies like SK Hynix and Samsung make. SK Hynix fell nearly 10% today. Samsung fell over 6%.
South Korea's entire stock market crashed 5.5% in a single session. Japan's semiconductor stocks did the same.
And then Anthropic added fuel to the fire by publishing a report warning that AI is getting close to the point where it can improve itself without human help and calling for a global pause in AI development.
Coming on the same day as the memory demand news and Broadcom's miss, it fed a single growing fear across the market: what if the AI boom is moving faster than the business models can keep up with?
Underneath all of this, there is a liquidity problem nobody is talking about.
SpaceX goes public next week at a $1.75 trillion valuation. Anthropic just filed to go public. OpenAI is next.
These three companies together are worth $4 to $5 trillion. Fund managers need cash to buy into these listings.
But cash levels are already at their lowest since early 2024. The only way to raise cash is to sell what they already own. That selling is happening right now.
The new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh will also hold his very first policy meeting in 11 days. He was appointed by Trump with the expectation of cutting rates.
He is now walking into a situation where inflation is high, oil is high, and the job market is running hot. Investors do not know what he will do.
When nobody knows what the most powerful central banker in the world will decide in less than two weeks, the safest move is to reduce risk today.
Everything that could go wrong, went wrong at the same time. A hot jobs report, a collapsing ceasefire, a crack in the AI trade, a trillion dollar liquidity drain, and a Fed meeting with no clear outcome.
I’ll say this once. These 8 stocks are going to make generational wealth for many by year end…
1. ServiceNow ~ $NOW
2. Nokia Oyj ~ $NOK
3. Nebius ~ $NBIS
4. Micron Technologys ~ $MU
5. Circle~ $CRCL
6. Intel ~ $INTC
7. Rocket Lab ~ $RKLB
8. Marvell Technology ~ $MRVL
These names will be your next wave of opportunities that you need to take advantage of.
Like and follow, save it for future reference…
#seatmoveprocess#everton#efc What a joke the Everton Season Ticket Seat Move process is. Renewed my season ticket on 13th April. Log on 10am today to move seat and it says I have no ticket to move? On hold to club over 30 mins - no reply.
@efc_fanservices@EvertonStadium@Everton@efc_engagement Trying to do seat move. Got email and logged into my account which says no ticket to move even though I renewed my season ticket on 13th April and signed up for seat move. Joke! I even have the receipt email
