You gotta ride the wave. In his fund, he has about a 45% hedge, which is a bit overweight. But the top 5 stocks in the market are his top 5 stocks, and you just go with it until it doesn't work.
The software stocks are interesting, because they've really taken a back seat to the whole AI thing.
That's right. If you look at the NASDAQ 100, there are a heck of a lot making new lows, and the majority are certainly sitting below their 50-day MAs. But the big mega-cap guys are holding it up. The top 5 stocks account for about 30% of the NASDAQ 100.
What's really running it is this whole AI revolution. It's the picks and shovels right now, and the rest will join in the parade. But for now it's still the infrastructure guys -- think data centres, infrastructure, server suppliers, semiconductors.
He continues to trim and then goes to the infrastructure (hardware) side of things. Interesting, because from 2011 to 2022 it was all about the software. Once in a while, the pendulum would swing over to the hardware, but it's swung way over there right now. Even guys like DELL and CSCO, the servers to data centres, have done tremendously well.
It will probably happen for the end users, he's not sure about the software guys. Everyone's being forced to be a "first adopter" of AI. It's supposed to help the bottom line and margins. There's a narrative out there that the software companies are going to take a back seat, because people will be able to get their analytics from the AI tools embedded in the hardware. We're seeing this in both education and healthcare.
Great run, fully priced. Screens for iPhones, TVs, and laptops. With virtual reality a trend, it's getting into headsets. King of the hill on technology, no lack of demand. To add, do it in thirds at $200-205, $190, and in the $180s.
(Analysts’ price target is $209.00)The largest holding in his fund at 8.7%. He's no longer even writing calls on this one, which means he's no longer hedging this particular position. Analysts' target is not too far away, but every time stock reaches the price target, analysts just nudge it up. Set up rolling stops.
He stress tests his positions every morning. The #1 risk used to be the supply side. Now it's demand, but their order book goes well into 2026, so it shouldn't be an issue.
