Every conversation I have with readers about chip stocks eventually turns into a conversation about one company, and I understand why. But Nvidia’s dominance is also exactly why I think the more interesting risk-reward in…
I’ve spent most of this year telling readers to be selective about tech, and I’ll be honest, that advice has occasionally looked wrong for a quarter at a time before looking right again. That’s the…
September has a reputation problem, and this year it comes with receipts. The Fed’s next rate decision lands on September 16, the CPI print drops September 11, and both are exactly the kind of macro…
Four days ago I told you that I was sell put on Baidu because I felt confident that the stock was balanced, the AI pivot was in place, and the strike price was pretty low…
I’ve heard of a particular type of earnings report I’ll call the “technically great but emotionally catastrophic” quarter. Revenue beats estimates. EPS is much better than expected. User growth holds. Operating income rises. And, somewhere…
In my investing career, I have made three mistakes with AMD. If I were to turn back time, I might choose Nvidia stocks. First time was 2019. I felt the EPYC server story was being…

I bought my first tranche of Baidu back when everyone still called it “the Google of China” as a lazy elevator pitch, and I want to open with an admission that still stings a little:…
I made a genuinely embarrassing amount of money during a geopolitical flare-up a few years back, and I want to open with that confession because it’s relevant to everything below: I didn’t make that money…
I’ve been trading through enough Middle East flare-ups over the past 15 years to know the pattern by heart. Oil spikes, bond yields jump, growth stocks get hammered, and everyone on financial Twitter starts calling…
I’ve sat through enough “chips got smoked” weeks over fifteen years to know the drill by now: something scares the semiconductor trade, headlines get dramatic, and half of Twitter starts asking if the AI bubble…
Okay I’ll be honest with you. Writing a bearish piece on Apple right now feels a little stupid. The company just reported $111.2 billion in Q2 revenue. Beat estimates. Raised guidance. Stock up 3% after…
