Closed shorts $HOOD @ $135.2 and 60% of $COIN @ ~$320.1
Reshorted back to original position for $COIN @ $314.4. I think this name is too heavy and probably won’t benefit as much from speculative retail flows vs smth like $HOOD

Will scale into $PSTG short at open, aiming for >$92 entry. Spent some time thinking about it. If storage component prices keep rising, players like $PSTG are nuked. $PSTG provides storage-as-a-service to enterprises, and their contracts are renewed between…
Got in $PSTG short yesterday @ $89.66

Also added $SNDK @ $229 after the print
Added $HY9H SK Hynix German Depository Receipt @ $369 EUR
One of the few ways to get long SK Hynix as a foreigner that can’t buy Korean stocks. Have been putting this off for awhile because the liquidity is so low but finally pushed myself to do so as I think SK Hynix will (and has already) benefit greatly from this upcycle.

Added $CORZ @ from $20.25-$20.96 last night as shareholders voted and rejected CoreWeave’s acquisition offer for Core Scientific.
Closed $CORZ @ $17.5 for 14% loss
Loss of faith in the mgmt’s ability to execute; sounds like CRWV’s delay was caused by CORZ. Also trying to move away from small/mid caps which I think are more susceptible to corrections if the AI bubble pops

Moonshot play $TGEN finally starting to move after a long consolidation.. +35% from avg cost of $9.06 to $12.25 Moving on no news though is kind of strange. Not sure if it’s insider front running or just a small cap rerating. Hopefully $VRT just buys it out…
Closed $TGEN long @ $7.75 for -16% loss
Cutting more low caps. Just a small moonshot so the loss only stings

Added $CRCL short @ $130.04
$CRCL short finally working, -8% after print. Haven’t looked at the ER but there’s really no point when the name is so far removed from fundamentals
Anyway, closed 20% of the short here @ $89 for +30% gain

Also added $SNDK @ $229 after the print
Exited this additional tranche @ $268 - $270 for +17% gain. Original $SNDK position still remains.

Added $MU @ $253.5 That’s probably the last time I’m adding to memory, for awhile
Added more $MU @ $242-$246, with the $SNDK allocation that was just exited. $MU is my largest memory position right now

Got in $PSTG short yesterday @ $89.66
Took advantage of the mini bounce yesterday to fully fill on $DELL and $PSTG shorts @ $142 and $89 respectively
Short basket as above, with ascending size from top to bottom (PSTG largest short, SHAK smallest)

$SNDK now at $283, +146% from our entry just one month ago... One of my best plays this year. Sized this up huge from the get go, and rode the original position all the way till this point.
I'm a generalist so I honestly have no alpha in this highly cyclical sector. Simply the right time, right place, and right mental models to catch this move. But some thoughts:
On one hand, the chart looks parabolic but on the other, DRAM/NAND prices are still exploding higher everyday driven by a collision of cyclical forces like the inflection in AI demand, a recovery in CPU & AI server, and recovery in smartphones.
If prices continue exploding higher (which flows directly to the btm line), I think Street's FY26E EPS of $11.07 is far too low..
>$20 and even $25 eps seems achievable. At $25 eps, Sandisk is only trading at 11x FY+1 p/e now, even after such a parabolic rally. Not too bad, right? Though that's just peak earnings, one has to also consider what is the stock's normalized earnings after this upcycle ends.

Kioxia $285A.JT reported underwhelming earnings, putting a dent on the memory rally

Seems like some idiosyncratic poor execution by Kioxia as it’s the only memory company that missed this season; not sure how their ASPs even went down when memory prices are rising everyday.
Added to $MU @ $246

$NVDA @ $186 makes sense as a short hedge to the AI bubble bursting if you have duration.
Growing competitiveness from TPUs/accelerators + $MSFT CEO mentioning that they’re limiting GPU capex because they don’t want to run the risk of tech obsolescence due to Nvidia’s 1 year product cycle.
If PPW improvements slow down from one gen to the next, then hyperscalers are less inclined to spend on next gen GPUs as the legacy ones that are fully depreciated would work almost as fine with higher resulting “cash flows”.

Ugly day no two ways about it.
AI spend concerns were exacerbated by OpenAI’s comments about wanting govt’s backstop, CRWV delays dragging down the neoclouds & power providers, Satya comments as above, Kioxia’s print dragging down memory which was one of the last few green AI sectors, and Fed comments on high inflation and a potential push out of cuts. Maybe also some sell the news on the lifting of govt shutdown
Actually all things considered, I would have expected the markets to be down more. This reminds me of a few months back when MSFT reportedly cancelled some DC leases, which caused the AI stocks to chop around violently for awhile. Essentially the market has run out of bullish catalysts in the near-term and is now overly jittery on headlines.
In times like these important not to overtrade, stick to highest conviction ideas and touch grass. Let the markets resolve to its equilibrium before being aggressive again.

Pretty interesting. The Big Short is one of my favourite movies. Not agreeing with Michael Burry’s views (for now) but the parallels here for him are uncanny.

Why I Think Michael Burry Is Shutting Down Scion Now
Let’s put a few things together…Burry’s liquidation letter, his depreciation thread on the hyperscalers, and his “me then, me now” Big Short meme and he’s basically spelling out one story.
