The Bull Has Reasserted Itself — Themes Arise

A few days ago a new development in the wonderful world semiconductors was tweeted out — went viral — and then speculation ensued.

Today might have seen the biggest physics discovery of my lifetime. I don't think people fully grasp the implications of an ambient temperature / pressure superconductor. Here's how it could totally change our lives.

What the fuck are superconductors and who makes them?

We can make layman bets based on rudimentary evidence. We know NVDA, AMD and MU are making high speed chips. But let’s get stupid — shall we? We can delve into the Quantum computing space and ASSume they’re gonna be players. The truth is, most of the early runners in a space rarely turn out to be players.

NEVERTHELESS, we play them anyway — for the honor and the glory.

I am playing the following

AAOI, AMSC (they have “superconductor” in their fucking name). I traded in and out of QSI, QUBT today — but there are others. I suspect there will be more speculation in this space soon. I also suspect certain areas of the market will remain hot.

What are some areas to look into?

RARE EARTH, LIDAR, AUTONOMOUS, EV, EV CHARGING, CRYPTO MINERS, AI,VR, BNPL, Quantum computing, Flying Taxis, Chinese buriito, and good olde fashioned oil and gas drillers.

I’ve found bull runs are often highlighted by themes and these themes are usually temporary — but explosive. I have all of these themes and others organized inside Stocklabs. I believe if you’re gonna play the runners — you must keep organized lists of who the players are. For example, this weekend I will research all I can about SUPERCONDUCTORS and try to learn about some stocks I’ve never heard of — which of course is rare for me.

I closed +28bps, after being down 50bps from the open thanks to opportunistic trades.
