Last night nearly 20% of my Family Portfolio was added to the Nasdaq 100.
Its surreal seeing $RKLB, $NBIS and $ALAB reach this milestone after first buying Rocket Lab at $3B market cap, Nebius around $10B and Astera Labs near $8B.
This portfolio was built around themes I believe will matter over the next decade and space plus compute are becoming two of the biggest pillars of the new economy.
GS: Within the market, recent Momentum factor volatility has tracked with the historical precedent following sharp rallies.
Put that in my favorite "extremely normal" bucket
I am half way through the new Market Wizards book, and few things stand out insane work ethics, self leadership, self belief bordering on delusion and ability to go deep once they found setup ideas.
$SPCX IPO this Friday, and order books close today
SpaceX is staging the largest initial public offering (IPO) in market history, issuing shares at $135 to raise up to $75 billion at a valuation of approximately $1.75 to $2 trillion. The offering will trade on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol SPCX. Because of Elon Musk’s large cult following, the company is reserving an unusually high 30% of the offering for retail investors (compared to the typical 5% to 10%).
ChatGPT maker OpenAI also confidentially filed for a U.S. initial public offering recently, the company said, joining rival Anthropic in a push toward the stock market as investors seek exposure to the artificial intelligence boom.
At a $1.8 trillion valuation, founder Elon Musk’s 42% stake in the company means this float could position him as the world's first trillionaire.
Rather than just a pure rocket launch company, the public S-1 filing outlines that SpaceX is combining four distinct verticals under its corporate umbrella:
- Launch Services: Rocket and satellite deployment infrastructure.
- Starlink: Global satellite internet and satellite-to-mobile communications.
- Government Contracts: Critical infrastructure and defense payloads.
- AI & Data Centers: Expanded infrastructure for AI and cloud data, utilizing technologies integrated from the merger with xAI.
🔥China's gold purchases are ACCELERATING:
People's Bank of China acquired 10 TONNES of gold in May, the most since January 2026.
This extended China's gold-buying streak to 19 straight months, the longest since at least 2015, when its central bank began disclosing its gold reserve figures on a more consistent basis.
China now holds a record 2,331 tonnes of gold, equivalent to more than 9% of its total foreign currency reserves.
So far in 2026, only Poland and Uzbekistan have bought more gold than China.
China continues to buy the dip in gold.
Great chart @randgroup
Oppenheimer initiated $SPCX with an Outperform rating and a $190 price target
The firm sees SpaceX using its reusable rocket monopoly, Starlink network, satellites, solar panels, chips and manufacturing scale to become the world’s largest communications and AI company.
$RKLB CEO Peter Beck said ~30% of everything that went to space last year had a Rocket Lab logo on it somewhere.
Rocket Lab is already far more embedded in the space economy than most people realize.
$SPCX unveiled AI1 which is its first AI compute satellite featuring a 150kW payload and deployable liquid cooling.
Elon Musk says AI1 repurposes proven Starlink V3 power, cooling and laser-link technology into an orbiting AI compute platform.
SPACEX STARTED WITH A $27 MILLION VALUATION IN 2002
Here's the full journey to $1.75 trillion:
2002: $27M - Musk starts the SpaceX bet
2010: $1B - Falcon 9's first flight
2016: $10B - Google + Fidelity invest $1B
2024: $350B - Post-election AI rally
2025: $800B - IPO plans announced
2025: $1.25T - Musk merges xAI into SpaceX
2026: $1.75T - Largest IPO in history
From $27 million to $1.75 trillion in 24 years.
That's a 64,800x return on the original valuation.
Copper can’t keep up . AI data centers need light — and photonics companies can’t build fast enough to keep up.
$LITE – Makes the lasers inside every optical transceiver. No LITE, no light.
$AAOI – Builds transceivers that convert electrical signals to optical. The translator.
$MRVL – Designs the silicon brains that control photonic data flow at speed.
$GLW – Invented optical fiber. Still makes the glass the internet runs through.

Which earnings are on your radar? 👀
I’m 60 years old and retired from JPMorgan. My monthly income is $105,000.
My June advice:
$SNDK (SanDisk) — Don’t buy
$AVGO (Broadcom) — Don’t buy
$CRWV (CoreWeave) — Don’t buy
$NOK (Nokia Oyj) — Buy at $14–$15

$MU (Micron Technologys) — Buy at $980–$988
People ask, Why don’t you charge?
I’ve made enough. Sharing is my passion ,that’s why I post for fre.
This is the full speech by @SpaceX Chief Financial Officer Bret Johnson during the IPO roadshow. He has served as CFO for 15 years. Worth watching.
$IREN owns and develops large-scale, power-dense data center campuses in energy-rich regions for AI cloud, GPU clusters and build-to-suit data centers.
Today’s 800MW Australia announcement reinforces the thesis that IREN can turn massive power capacity into AI infrastructure revenue faster than the market expected.
AI is still the trade but next is Physical AI $HUMN
$TSLA — EV brand pivoting to robotaxi and Optimus humanoid; execution risk remains high.
Harmonic Drive Systems — Japanese precision gear maker; critical joint component in virtually every humanoid robot arm.
Rainbow Robotics — South Korean humanoid maker; Samsung-backed, early-stage, limited revenue but strong strategic positioning.
$QCOM — Snapdragon chips power edge AI and robotics inference; not a pure-play, diversified risk.
$NVDA — GPU monopoly for robot training and simulation; Isaac platform is the de facto standard.
$XPENG — Chinese EV maker building humanoid robot (Iron); unproven, heavy competition from BYD and state-backed players.
$OUST — Lidar sensors for robot perception; you already hold this — NVIDIA partnership on Rev8 OS is the catalyst.

Everyone is focused on AI stocks... but look at the valuations.
• $SMH trades at 27.6x earnings
• $MAGS trades at 26.3x
• $IGV trades at 25.5x
• $DRAM $MU trades at just 8.3x
Despite huge gains, memory stocks remain dramatically cheaper than the rest of tech. The market is still pricing memory as cyclical, while AI demand is turning it into critical infrastructure.
If AI spending remains strong, memory stocks can continue flying.
Honeywell’s $QNT IPO is reportedly 20x oversubscribed.
Quantinuum is seeking up to $1.46B at a $14B valuation in what could be the largest quantum IPO to date.
