"I think the current education system is designed for a different era, where the main goal was to produce workers for factories. It doesnโt foster creativity, and it doesnโt teach people how to think critically or solve real-world problems. The focus is on memorization, not on understanding how things work or how to innovate." โ Elon Musk
Zero-sum economics is a fallacy. Someone elseโs success doesnโt take away from your success. It actually makes you more likely to succeed yourself.
Itโs been officially 3 months since I posted my $SIVE long thesis back at 4 SEK.
This idea is now up ~1900%โฆ
With many US institutions from JPM to Fidelity only recently entering positions.
Probably my 2nd greatest thesis of all time after $AXTI.
Did you listen anon?
Okay my fellow Koreans, it's been awhile.
Foosung (093370, ~$1.2B MC) looks like a massive beneficiary soon.
Basically China export controlled Japan, causing their WFโ supply chain to go down.
Meaning 25% of the world's supply required for SK Hynix, Samsung, $TSM go bye bye.
If you remember the Straight of Homuz with Oil, that's a lot.
Foosung's importance just shot through the roof given from some est. they're 10% of the supply chain?
So that number goes up, massive bottleneck for demand. Then this looks like the best pure play beneficiary outside of China (even if precursors pricing are rough).
Don't have positions, just wanted to publish an idea.
The AI supremacy Wars begins.
Think a lot of the upstream supply chain bottlenecks caused by each Country export controlling each other (eg. $AXTI)
Should present some interesting opportunities in the near future.
That being said, Anthropic was getting distilled left and right in Singapore -> China and others.
Hot take, but steps like this do help preserve American dominance in AI, keeping the most advanced model at home.
I donโt think Superintelligence should be global access, since weโre starting to get into uncharted territories.
All the $SNDK short sellers went extinct.
Canโt believe itโs almost $2000 now?
That aside feels like everyone is just waiting for the $SPCX IPO in a few hours.
Bro I still can't believe Japan's WF6 supply chain got shut down from China export controls.
Which affects $TSM, Samsung, and SK Hynix.
Are we really playing global supply chain warfare and game theory over AI supremacy?
Japan probably has the most amount of obscure monopolies, but they haven't fully been weaponizing it back yet.
So I wonder if this is the start of a slippery slope?
Just some reflection, my core high conviction ideas from 2025 aged super well!
From
$ALAB: $97-> $372
$LITE: $330 -> $904
$AAOI: $30 -> $175
And others like $NBIS, $RKLB, and $TSM!
This was back when I had close to no followers!
I got some nuances slightly off before more information was made public. Lost conviction on ALAB along the way with optical transitions.
But this was back when AAOI and others were small $3B companies (~$14B now).
So maybe some others in the same range today like $SIVE should get some more attention?
But Iโm happy a lot of them aged super well.
And I think a large part of my recent following growth is just other seeing my ideas like $AXTI get validated over time.
New Anthropic news looks like a potential tailwind for the Neocloud colo sector.
Such as $WULF, $CIFR, $WYFI, $HUT and others (not named yet).
As Anthropic is pursuing its first DC leases.
"The AI company has signed more than a dozen letters of intent with U.S. developers" per The Information.
If you havenโt noticed too with my other investment themes with 800V DC and CPO recently.
Itโs investing in $NVDA, Americaโs national champion in AI, and securing their supply chains.
Many things feel technologically difficult with yields to substrate supply.
People can always bear post laser capacity or export control bottlenecks and tell people to short Nvidiaโs supply chains due to difficulties.
But by investing in the critical companies to give them more capex spend for FAU capacity / yields.
Or funding upstream red phosphorus/InP substrate capacity or SiC/GaN capacity.
It builds up Western supply chains to make whatโs technologically challenging, possible.
Also I believe in Jensen.
Markets should be cheering on domestic champions like $AAOI.
Since it's ideal to support critical AI infra from laser fab to production in the US, rather than being a bear.
Feels like everyone just outsources transceivers to Asia like Malaysia or Thailand...
With $INTC, $IQE, $XFAB, $MU, $WOLF, $SOI, $SIVE, and others...
If you haven't noticed by now, they're all critical to US supply chains. And every one of them are getting subsidies for securing Western supply chains.
Before a major trade was to short developing US/Western equities, then hedge with subsidized foreign ones.
As seen with the energy/solar firms that went bankrupt, this backfired a lot on US AI infrastructure years later with the power grid.
I wanted to help change this mindset, since I believe it's very positive sum to invest in building up critical Western supply chains like photonics today.
Especially if $AAOI hits their $471m/month projections after reshoring their production to America.
Instead of hoping they fail and calling critical nodes in the supply chains memestocks/bubbles, maybe it's good to change mindsets a bit so we don't see a repeat of the US Solar sector years later.
US/EU don't just hand out subsidies or CHIPS act grants to anyone.
At this point I can't tell anymore if markets from $META to $MSFT are correcting because of macro.
Or just liquidity pull from $SPCX + index inclusion.
And institutions frontrunning Nasdaq 100 and other rebalancing of SpaceX...
Anyone know?
Woah, Frankfurt Bank strategists say:
8% of US current-account deficit could be refinanced in a single day by overseas demand for SpaceX ( $SPCX ) shares.
Excited to see how markets react around a Mega-IPO...
Don't think there's been any historical precedence like this yet?
