Yo Pit Crazies,
Well, can you spot the next Mega Trend? Well Mark did and he is going to keep going tonight. Sign up if you can handle it!
Speaking of Mega Trends this is a partial list of the ones I can remember since I started trading some 35 years ago:
LBO takeovers
Oil
Banks
Semiconductors
Biotech
Software
Computer Hardware Storage
PCs
Semiconductors
Search Engines and Internet
Cell Phones and Spectrum/POPS
Smart Phones
Social Media
Cloud
Green Energy and EVs
Ecommerce
Semiconductors
And
AI Note I include semiconductors twice because every decade they invent a new way to use them. They still have the old way so the growth in the Semiconductor industry is nuts and I just realized that as I am writing this. The easiest way for investors to dive in is the Market Vectors Semiconductor Index ETF (Ticker: SMH). In the old days we traded the PHILex Semiconductor index (Ticker: SOX)
TSLA chart with AAPL in purple and NVDA in red
Apple Inc (Ticker: AAPL) is not really riding the AI wave. Neither it appears to be Tesla Inc (Ticker: TSLA) but I think one day, in the not too distant future, TSLA will sell way more robots than cars. They likely will have a gaggle of Nvidia Corp (Ticker: NVDA) chips in their heads.
That could set up a trade.
It is time for long TSLA, short AAPL
I own NVDA through SMH so I am not going to concern myself with that right now. I started buying call butterflies in TSLA but it was early so far. It did not dawn on me to short AAPL as a hedge until I realized the Mega Trend for smartphones is pettering out due to its own success. Mark has a clever trick to invest in some of the Big Cap names so I will save it for his webinar tonight.
Right now my downside target for AAPL is $150 while money goes other places, like TSLA for instance.
To Your Trading Success,
-AG
