The Falling Stock Market.
Overall Thesis
Kevin treats the sharp technology selloff as a buying opportunity and maintains strong bullish conviction despite elevated financing costs, leveraged selling and geopolitical uncertainty. He favors AI hardware over the long term and healthcare as a current rotation opportunity, while expressing a bearish view on gold.
Narratives
AMZNAmazonKevin endorses a newly opened bullish Amazon options position during the selloff. He sees an opportunity in the stock's volatility even as investors question how Amazon will finance increasing AI expenditure.
Key Arguments
- The bullish options position was selected using historical volatility.
- Amazon's shares rebounded after the position was opened.
- Higher AI spending is also a source of AI infrastructure revenue.
Risks acknowledged
- Amazon must raise capital to support spending.
- Investors are concerned about the relationship between e-commerce performance and AI expenditure.

PLTRPalantirKevin states strong bullish conviction in Palantir and endorses his existing holding. He does not make a firm earnings-price prediction, emphasizing expectations and Iran as near-term drivers.
Key Arguments
- He explicitly reiterates bullishness.
- He reports gains on purchases initiated around 118.
- He says the company usually beats earnings expectations.
Risks acknowledged
- A beat alone may not satisfy market expectations.
- Iran and the election may dominate the stock's near-term response.
Predictions (1)
Kevin recommends Eli Lilly as a healthcare rotation opportunity while interest rates remain elevated. Its strength during a broad hardware selloff supports his preference.
Key Arguments
- He specifically names Eli Lilly in his healthcare recommendation.
- The stock rises despite substantial technology-sector losses.
- Healthcare benefits from investors seeking defensive exposure.
Risks acknowledged
- A sufficient decline in Treasury yields could improve the appeal of rate-sensitive alternatives.
Predictions (1)
Kevin explicitly states that he is bearish on gold at present. He associates gold's upside with money printing and believes an anti-money-printing Federal Reserve leadership and weakening momentum outweigh continued Chinese purchases.
Key Arguments
- He expects limited support from monetary expansion.
- Gold has lost momentum.
- He believes Chinese buying alone is insufficient.
Risks acknowledged
- He acknowledges that China will likely continue buying gold.
- Goldman Sachs has a bullish gold target, which he does not adopt.

INTCIntelKevin attributes Intel's collapse to a reversal of Trump-related momentum and company-specific operating problems. He places the decline within a broader hardware buying-opportunity narrative but does not explicitly issue an Intel-specific buy or sell call.
Key Arguments
- Momentum investors can exit rapidly when conditions worsen.
- PC affordability and disrupted production pressure the core business.
- He observes support around the 64 area as current market behavior.
Risks acknowledged
- The broader hardware selloff may create opportunities.
- The price-support observations are not stated as a distinct forward forecast.
AMDAdvanced Micro DevicesKevin remains enthusiastic about the hardware stack and describes AMD favorably while acknowledging losses on recent purchases. His AMD discussion focuses on chip commitments and stock warrants rather than a separate current buy recommendation or price forecast.
Key Arguments
- AMD participates in large AI compute supply agreements.
- Warrant arrangements incentivize customers to purchase AMD chips.
- He considers recent hardware purchases consistent with his long-term thesis.
Risks acknowledged
- Recent AMD purchases have declined.
- Customer financing constraints could reduce hardware spending.
BTCBitcoinKevin treats the Binance hack as an exchange-security and liquidity problem rather than a failure of crypto itself. He warns that a Binance bank run could damage the entire crypto market, but does not give a separate Bitcoin price or investment call.
Key Arguments
- Industry statements of support aim to prevent a bank run.
- Frozen withdrawals and depleted safety funds raise concerns.
- A modest initial price response does not prove that stolen assets can be liquidated without further impact.
Risks acknowledged
- Corporate funds, partners and recovered assets may help cover losses.
- He expects efforts to prevent a bank run will probably succeed.
NVDANvidiaKevin explicitly considers Nvidia a buy for his own portfolio amid the hardware selloff. His broader thesis is that AI infrastructure offers equity upside as adoption and monetization expand.
Key Arguments
- He regards the current hardware decline as an investment opportunity.
- AI tools increasingly generate tangible business value.
- Equity ownership offers participation in AI upside that fixed-return debt does not.
Risks acknowledged
- More expensive financing could reduce customers' chip purchases.
- Recent hardware purchases have declined.
- Vendor backstops create interconnected financial exposures.

SPCXSpaceX Class AKevin identifies approximately 132–133 as a floor for SpaceX shares. He also argues that an investment-grade credit rating gives SpaceX a financing advantage over Anthropic.
Key Arguments
- He identifies a specific share-price support zone.
- He describes SpaceX's investment-grade funding access as a competitive advantage.
- Its rocket and Starlink businesses diversify its exposure beyond AI.
Risks acknowledged
- SpaceX shares are falling during the session.
- SpaceX also needs to raise substantial capital for future spending.
- Anthropic could have substantially more cash after its prospective IPO.
Predictions (1)
MRNAModernaKevin identifies Moderna alongside Eli Lilly as a current healthcare rotation opportunity. He cites gains on earlier Moderna purchases as evidence of capital moving toward healthcare.
Key Arguments
- Moderna is explicitly included in the healthcare recommendation.
- He reports that the stock is holding up during technology-sector selling.
Risks acknowledged
- The rotation preference depends in part on interest rates remaining elevated.
Predictions (1)
Kevin expects a substantial decline in Brent if an Iran deal is achieved, suggesting the fall could exceed Goldman's roughly 35% scenario. He acknowledges that renewed attacks and infrastructure damage could instead sustain high prices, while treating the quoted 140 target as an institutional scenario.
Key Arguments
- A deal would remove part of the geopolitical oil premium.
- Speculative call positioning could reverse quickly.
- Attacks on Hormuz shipping and alternative pipelines constrain supply.
Risks acknowledged
- A deal is uncertain and its likelihood declines as the political incentive fades.
- Escalation could damage energy infrastructure and drive further oil gains.
- The 140 target and late-2027 timing originate with Goldman, rather than an independent host target.
Predictions (1)
AVGOBroadcomKevin views Broadcom's vendor-financing role favorably because high margins provide a cushion against financing concessions. He discusses its investment-grade backing of senior Project North Star debt without making a stock-return forecast.
Key Arguments
- High net and gross margins reduce the economic cost of vendor financing.
- Broadcom guarantees a substantial senior-debt component of the financing structure.
- Its investment-grade rating contrasts with the expected rating on Anthropic-backed junior debt.
Risks acknowledged
- AI financing structures link suppliers to customer credit risk.
- More expensive financing can slow overall chip spending.
APPAppLovinKevin praises AppLovin's revenue per employee and suggests its shares may perform better when advertising receives renewed investor attention. The prospective improvement is explicitly tentative.
Key Arguments
- Revenue per employee compares favorably with Nvidia.
- He considers AppLovin a very good company.
Risks acknowledged
- Improvement depends on advertising receiving renewed attention.
- He uses tentative language rather than making a firm return forecast.
Predictions (1)
QQQInvesco QQQ TrustKevin follows QQQ's intraday decline as a measure of technology-sector stress and views the broader selloff as an opportunity. He attributes additional losses to Anthropic credit-rating news and possible deleveraging, without making a distinct QQQ-specific trade recommendation or firm target.
Key Arguments
- Heavy short positioning and reduced systematic equity exposure could fuel a reversal on good news.
- AI financing fears amplify market sensitivity to credit-rating headlines.
- He maintains broader bullishness despite continued intraday selling.
Risks acknowledged
- Liquidation reports are unconfirmed.
- Iran escalation and financing costs remain unresolved.
- His identified bullish options position is on Amazon, not QQQ.
Hedges & Caveats
- Iran negotiations, renewed attacks and elevated oil prices could prolong inflation and pressure AI financing.
- Reports that multiple leveraged funds were liquidated remain unconfirmed.
- Recent hardware purchases are losing money, and further volatility is possible.
- Anthropic's substantial future spending commitments remain a financing risk despite what Kevin considers a healthy current balance sheet.
- Operational growth forecasts and third-party market targets are not necessarily Kevin's own investment forecasts.
- Kevin explicitly says his Nvidia buy view is for himself and is not personalized financial advice.
