$AMD CEO: “We are 2 years into 10-year AI buildout.” Lisa Su said this last year and $AMD reached an all-time high this year as GPU and CPU demand is skyrocketing. We are still at just year 3 of a decade-long infrastructure buildout. McKinsey estimates AI infrastructure spending will reach $5-$8 trillion by 2030. And then we’ll still have at least a few more years of rapid buildout to reach sufficient capacity to train next-gen models and serve every inference demand at attractive prices. Then all this infrastructure will need to be renewed every 4-5 years. Selling $AMD here means selling it just at the beginning of the largest IT buildout.

Considering entering $ORCL again. Here's why: Brad Gerstner said last month that Anthropic and OpenAI combined were doing ~$80 billion in revenue. That puts OpenAI around $30 billion ARR, since Anthropic is reportedly near $50 billion. If so, OpenAI is ahead of its own numbers. Its winter 2025 projection had FY2026 revenue at $25 billion. That derisks $ORCL, whose backlog is 54% OpenAI, and makes the risk/reward attractive again at 18x forward earnings.

2/ Global trade was the biggest driver of prosperity in the last 80 years. Marks likens it to a wave that lifted all boats. United States also massively benefited from this. How? It turned from an manufacturing economy to a service economy.

$OSCR CFO: “It’s a great time to enter the stock.” They are guiding for $750 million operating income this year and CEO said their stock price should be $45-$55. Even if his target is off by 50%, there is at least 70% upside from here. Why wouldn’t $OSCR work from here?

Stanley Druckenmiller: “We own copper. There is no new supply coming over the next 8 years, and we have a big add-on from the data center buildout.” Copper is up 50% over the past year. And we haven’t seen the peak shortage.

Ray Dalio said we are in a bubble, but we need something to prick it for it to deflate. This is what pricks it. Japan has just approved a $265 billion stimulus package while the Yen is at its weakest in a year. They'll have to hike rates eventually, and those who borrowed Yen and bought US stocks will have to exit their positions to cover increased borrowing costs, a classic unwind of the carry trade. Time to get defensive rather than offensive. You should still buy no-brainers if the market gives them away for cheap, but be careful, keep your cash pile large and your systematic risk exposure low.

If you are wondering why asset prices are tanking watch this interview of Kevin Warsh. He dislikes quantitative easing as he believes it inflates asset prices and increases inequality between workers and asset owners. Expect a tighter Fed balance sheet, so less liquidity.

$OSCR CEO: “Our stock should be between $45-$55 a share by the end of 2026.” Yesterday, he disclosed his purchase of almost $12 million worth of shares. An insider putting a large sum of his own money where his mouth is. That’s all you need to know.

Ray Dalio: "There'll be a supply-demand issue for the US debt." The US needs to refinance $8 trillion of debt soon while running a 6% deficit. Investors know the deficit won't come down and the US will inflate its debt away. So nobody wants to hold US debt at lower yields.

$AMZN AWS CEO: “All Anthropic models out today were trained on Trainium.” Trainium 2 has been sold out, Trainium 3 is almost completely subscribed and a part of Trainium 4 is already reserved. Chip division is now at $20bn annual run rate. How can’t you be bullish on $AMZN?

Stanley Druckenmiller on Copper: “It’s in the tightest position I have ever studied.” He said this in 2023 but didn’t take a position because he believed a hard landing was coming. He was wrong about the hard landing, but right about copper. Demand is exploding.

Ray Dalio: “Debt problem is followed by devaluation of the currency.” Looks like this is exactly how the US will handle its debt problem. Kevin Warsh’s Fed will peg short-term rates to artificially low levels, and buy treasuries to keep them down, inflating the debt away. We saw this play out in the three decades following World War II, and it’s plausible that the US is preparing for a similar maneuver as Debt/GDP is currently over 120%. This is why central banks are dumping US debt and buying gold instead.

Transformer lead times have stretched from weeks to 1-2 years, so grid connection wait times have also jumped to years. Both Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are predicting a power shortage by 2028.

Peter Thiel says the quiet part loud: AI chips will get commoditized. This is why I avoid $NVDA. It made an immense amount of money marking up its GPUs by 10x and others had to pay as alternatives weren’t good enough. Now they are getting good enough. $AMD has already caught up with $NVDA in hardware performance, and ASICS are proving unexpectedly competitive due to their efficiency. $GOOG trained Gemini 3 solely on TPUs, and Anthropic is running a significant part of its training and inference workloads on Trainium clusters. As alternatives become even stronger, $NVDA margins and volumes will erode, and profits will shift from hardware to the application layer.

$AMZN CEO: “There is a power shortage in the US and the world.” For new data centers, the most optimistic grid connection wait time is 3 years as power transformer lead times stretch to 12-24 months. So, most of the developers and hyperscalers are resorting to natural gas as it’s the fastest option. But even then, permitting is still an issue and risks delays and cancellations as is the case for $NBIS New Jersey data center. Power is now a bigger bottleneck for scaling AI than it’s ever been.

3/ Global trade unleashed potential for every country. Because of the global trade, US could outsource low value manufacturing from poorer countries and focused on high value services. If people in the US aren't assembling iPhones for $1/hour, this is because of free trade. Tariffs threaten to change this.
