Either way, it should bode well for semicaps especially with recent $TSM results. Asian readthroughs also positive So built out a semicap long basket over the past week: $ONTO @ $$221 $BESI @ $$172 $ASM @ $700 $MKSI @ $212 $NVMI @ $462
$ASML bookings almost 2x estimates.. If you've been paying attention, a beat isnt a surprise. The extent is though. It's Semicap's party.

Got me thinking, what if the recent precious metal rally in Gold/Silver wasnt just pricing in loose monetary policy/geo tensions, but also (maybe more so) pricing in this scenario where infinite printable money ceases to have any more meaning and value in a world of infinite productivity?
Elon has touched on this point a fair bit, maybe he isnt trolling. In that case, hard assets (PMs, land) would accrue all the value.. idk, I have no horse left in the race - just letting my mind ponder, and maybe a trade idea comes out of it all

$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…
Q2 Results:
Revenue: $3.025B (Est. $2.67B)
EPS: $6.20 (Est. $3.49)
Q3 Guide:
Adj. EPS: $12.00–$14.00 (Est. $4.21)
Non-GAAP Gross Margin: 65.0%–67.0%
$SNDK just guided Q3’26 EPS to be higher than the FULL FY26 EPS consensus estimates from just 3 months back… stock +16% AMC

Given this trend, $SNDK FY27 EPS can reach >$80; up more than 5x from $15 consensus estimates just a few months ago.. power of exponential pricing and 100% passthrough to margins.
The counterpoint is demand destruction from consumer side, but the counterpoint to that is hyperscalers are price insensitive and will gobble anything remaining up, especially with NVDA ICMSP.
We’ll see, but if a $80 FY27 EPS is possible then FY+1 P/E is.. 8x. The stock got cheaper as it rallied.

Moltbook is one of the most dystopian things I’ve seen in the past 2 years. 150k autonomous global agents interacting with each other on a reddit-style community platform.
While there are a lot of junk posts, I’ve attached some of the more ..chilling posts here. I think this is the closest we have ever gotten to AGI. And not to forget, each of these agents are fully autonomous and probably smarter than 99% of the population.
Andrei Karpathy put it succinctly; "The majority of the ruff ruff is people who look at the current point and people who look at the current slope."
That slope has gotten a lot more parabolic in the past 2 weeks, than it has in the past 2 years.

What we have seen so far are just from Gen 1 models. Blackwell models aren’t even out yet, not to mention Rubin, or Feynman.. next decade will be wild.
Maybe AGI is just a state of endless prompting, looping, reasoning, and compute. Except that instead of humans being the prompters, it’s the agents prompting each other - hence eliminating the human’s drag of latency/knowledge limit/thoroughput etc to produce.. AGI.
It might be time to start treating your LLMs better.

Getting squeezed on $ALAB / $CRDO shorts, but not too flustered yet. $ALAB avg short entry $170, $CRDO $145. $ALAB in particular seems like a good oppy to avg up short entry price
Closed the short leg of Long $LITE / Short $CRDO & $ALAB for around +15% gain

SaaS short basket on average +15% in 2 weeks Also added other shorts recently: $WIX @ $94 $COUR @ $7.12 $UPWK @ $19.8 $INTU @ $568 $SHOP @ $156 (largest short currently) Dilemma between wanting to start trimming some of these to reduce risk of a crowded…
Trimming 20% of SaaS shorts for around 15-20% gain, but mostly still pressing the shorts. Valuation is still far too high for a sector facing existential threat

Actually closed some small cap SaaS shorts trading at high teens to 20x fwd P/E on second thoughts, like $UPWK, $COUR, $MNDY, $ASAN etc.. Yesterday felt like a washout even for the most diehard SaaS believers (people who like pain), so I dont want to be short squeezed especially on the lower liquidity names.
Structurally I still think the sector is going through a sea change, and old mental frameworks that previously worked for SaaS will no longer work for most of these companies going forward. So I guess the question is what should be the new SaaS industry multiple?
