Dropped $100K into the market here into a fresh "I bought the dip" account. Risk reward looks fantastic to just go long a big list of my favorite stocks, some down 30-50%. I see no reason to concentrate this capital when there's this many deals across themes. Indexes are holding up well, the AI buildout is accelerating, earnings are coming up, and economic data is relatively strong. This looks like a generational retail shakeout, where leverage is just getting unwound, and sentiment is driving not facts and data. I feel like we might be towards the back end of this high beta rinse. But of course my timing could be wrong. Things could fall further on Iran escalation which of course has a knock on effect with interest rates, which could certainly mean major pain ahead. Adding to each of my 6 Autopilot portfolios equally and then to my favorite international stocks, other picks, and microcaps not reflected there.

I think the market is overpricing a Fed hike. Going in with 50% of a new $5K predictions portfolio, and may increase sizing if the odds for a hike spike more on Friday's CPI print. I won't claim claim to have much differentiated alpha here or to have a high degree of certainty, but when I see genuinley attractive odds, I like to go for them. We're in a trap here. If Warsh hikes and the US government can't afford the interest on debt that's 120% of GDP, the long end goes higher. If Warsh is dovish and inflation stays hot, the long end goes higher. The only logical course of action is to step up long end buybacks more and more aggressively because both scenarios end the same way? The cheapest fix is getting the short rate down so Bessent can fund more buybacks with cheap bills and If that still doesn't hold the long end, the Fed steps in and buys it directly. Now may not be the time to cut, but it's certainly not the time to hike. Don't forget Bessent and Warsh both worked for Druck with the same macro worldview, and Bessent pushed him for the job. Why would they not be working towards the same strategy?

This is nuts? Patrick OShaughnessy recently interviewed a $1.8B hedge fund manager who has 80% of his fund long $CVNA and said it "should be 90%". $CVNA crushed earnings today and is up 8% after hours. This guy is up ~$110M tonight.

Legendary stock picker Gavin Baker ($4.1B AUM) dropped some insane bars on All In. "If you look at the valuations for all these AI [plays], they just can't all be accurate." "If the multiples on the power, cooling, optical names are correct, Nvidia and memory are going up a lot. If the multiples on Nvidia and memory are correct, everything else is probably going to underperform." "The AI market is cross-sectionally inefficient right now" Of his 10 largest positions, 8 are AI stocks. - $ALAB (8.99%) - $CIEN (6.4%) - $MU (6.26%) - $NVDA (5.31%) - $AMZN (4.84%) - $LITE (4.58%) - $GOOG (3.89%) - $COHR (3.66%)

My 10x stock idea from GTC isn't photonics?! But it does involve lasers. Say hello to $INFQ. It's a newly IPO'd quantum stock generating tens of millions in revenue in space + defense applications with very unique technology. Infleqtion went public last month but it's trading 40% below its IPO price with a sub $2B market cap. $INFQ trades at roughly 70x trailing sales on $29M in revenue. Compare that to $RGTI at $6B market cap on just $7M in revenue, that's 860x sales. I chatted with $INFQ's Chief Administrative Officer, Julie McGee, to dig in further but here's the TLDR. Most quantum companies need to cool their chips to near absolute zero temps just to operate. Infleqtion uses "neutral atom" technology that traps individual atoms inside a glass cell using lasers and runs them at room temperature. It takes the power of a few hairdryers. No giant refrigerators. Way cheaper and way easier to scale. And unlike most quantum names they're actually shipping products NOW. Quantum clocks for GPS-denied navigation, RF sensors, inertial navigation systems. Selling to NASA, the DoD, and the UK government. Their quantum clock is being qualified by SpaceX for satellite systems. Quantum brings a whole new level of precision that works on the ground, in the sky, and underwater. Their technology can enable submarines to navigate without ever linking up to a satellite. GPS jamming is also becoming a huge problem on the battlefield, showing up in Ukraine and Iran. Quantum timing is inherently unjammable and unspoofable. They also had a dedicated spot inside the Nvidia booth at GTC. $INFQ partnered with Nvidia to demo the first commercial materials science application running on logical qubits and are working with Nvidia's NVQLink to scale quantum-classical hybrid computing. What's next: 30 logical qubits targeted this year, one of the most important milestones in the race to fault tolerant quantum computing by 2028. Plus a new NASA contract to measure Earth's gravity from space. Infleqtion combines an attractive valuation with extremely unique technology (they're the only neutral atom quantum company publicly listed). Could easily see this re-rating fast, I just think the IPO timing was poor with Iran. Could be adding this as a lottery ticket to my Asymmetrical Bets portfolio soon... This post was not sponsored or influenced in any way by $INFQ. All thoughts are my own, NFA / DYOR.
