AI Labs Profit Thesis: OpenAI & Anthropic Set Path to Sustainable Margins and High Retention
There seems to be endless debate around AI companies, and whether they have “upside down P&Ls” that will forever lose money, or if they will turn into cash cows in the future. Whether this sentiment is pointed at the large labs like OpenAI and Anthropic, or upstarts like Cursor, I hear it all the time! And I can’t tell if the bears just want to confirm their priors on AI negativity, if the bulls just have blind naive optimism, or if anyone really has a pov grounded in real analysis. As an early stage VC I certainly fall into the “perpetually optimistic” camp, so you can apply the appropriate filter to this post :) But for this post I wanted to focus on the profitability debate centered around the large labs, and why I think they’ll turn into wildly profitable business. There’s three ma

SPY Break Above $670 Could Trigger Upside Move
$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ broke this DOWNTREND (bullish if we can stay above it towards $672) I give my technical analysis at BELOW for you to read. PCE came in flat, giving the market no clear macro signal. Direction now depends on 5 catalysts: 1. US–Iran war duration conflict extending past 1 month raises energy risk and volatility. 2. AI sector momentum currently peaking while supply chains face disruption from the conflict. 3. Labour market cooling continued downward revisions suggest slowing growth. 4. FOMC (March 18) policy tone will be critical for rate expectations. 5. March inflation risk oil trading above $100/bbl could push CPI higher next month. Technically, SPY remains in a short-term downtrend and is consolidating near key lev

Rebound or Breakdown? MSTR, RIVN, NIO & QQQ at Critical Levels
Several key momentum names are approaching critical technical levels, with rebounds, support tests, and potential breakdowns shaping the near-term outlook. Investors are closely watching whether these levels hold to determine the next market move. 1. $Strategy(MSTR)$ MSTR +5% today and the $190 → $200 rebound is on the table. Monthly BX is still dark red, so the long term model is not bullish yet. In bear cycles most relief bounces are traps, so I’ll stay patient and wait for confirmation. 2. $Rivian Automotive, Inc.(RIVN)$ Volatile week for $RIVN, but my bull case is still on the table. Fair Value support is being tested and I expect a bounce into April / May if it holds. 3.

SPX Falls Below Central Monthly Level as Volatility Drives Repeated Reversals
Losing the Central Monthly level for a short period like in November happens a couple of times per year, however, few weeks ago I highlighted that staying below this level for long is a concerning condition from corrections and bear markets. Currently the price for the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ and most of the securities from our watchlist is below this level. The second chart is a zoom in of the Central Weekly Level for the same period, see the price breaching the “C” marked in green in some weeks as part of the normal price action of a bull market. Since February, the dotted area shows how volatile has been the price printing multiple invalidations or reversals during the same week.

The market's biggest winners are playing a different game entirely
Finding 10x investments isn’t about running the best DCF model or guessing next quarter’s earnings better than the next guy. History shows that the market’s biggest winners have gotten their strategy right early and simply ridden massive waves to incredible heights. Maybe they didn’t know what they were doing at the time (ex. Google’s founders didn’t know what they had on their hands early on, whereas $Uber(UBER)$ founder Travis Kalanick did), but we can learn from the last two decades of investing to project out the next 10x (100x?) stocks. Today, I’m going to dive into how we should understand changes in discovery and distribution should be understood by investors and why, sometimes, going for scale above all else is the best strategy.

Oil Shock & Volatility Hit SPX as NDX Slides While Bitcoin Rebounds
U.S. equities endured extreme volatility this week, recording a third consecutive weekly decline and establishing new closing lows for 2026. $S&P 500(.SPX)$ is now down -3.1% YTD, converging with the $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ , while the $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ trails closely with a -2.8% loss for the year. Escalating conflict in the Middle East remained the main driver of market pressure. An Iranian blockade of the Strait of Hormuz sent energy costs soaring. Oil futures $WTI Crude Oil - main 2604(CLmain)$ closed at $99. Rising fuel costs combined with unexpected labor market weakness to stoke fears of slowing growth and rising

In the market, numbers tell the story, but human nature writes the script. If you’re feeling a bit lost in the current market noise, let’s take a step back and look at three legendary tales that define exactly where we are today. Whether it’s the surging energy prices or the AI hype train, these three stories are the ultimate survival guide for your portfolio. Story 1: The Ghost of $147 Oil Flashback to 2008. Oil $WTI Crude Oil - main 2604(CLmain)$ prices were vertical, hitting an eye-watering $147 per barrel.

Jensen's Five-Layer Cake Theory: These Trading Opportunities to Look at!
Next week, NVIDIA GTC 2026 opens its doors. Jensen Huang will take the stage again. Over the past few years, each GTC has served as a major market catalyst. What will he bring this time? Before the real answers are revealed, let's dive deep into Jensen's most important mental framework — the Five-Layer Cake Theory — and how it can guide us toward investment opportunities in this AI wave. I. The Five-Layer Cake: From Energy to Applications Jensen breaks down the AI industrial architecture into five layers, from bottom to top — like a five-layer cake: Layer 1 · Energy The foundation of everything. Data center electricity consumption is exploding — nuclear, natural gas, and renewables all benefit. Without stable, affordable, large-scale energy supply, everything else is just talk.
TOPFrom my perspective, my core focus is still the chip layer, especially $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ . Every AI workload ultimately runs on compute, and NVIDIA remains the central player in accelerated computing. With Jensen Huang set to speak at NVIDIA GTC, I’m mainly watching updates on next-gen architectures & how the company continues expanding its CUDA & enterprise software ecosystem. The layer I think the market may be underestimating is energy. AI data centers require enormous electricity, and without reliable power the entire AI stack cannot scale. Companies like Constellation Energy, Vistra Energy & GE Vernova could quietly become major beneficiaries of the AI boom. As for positioning ahead of GTC, I prefer to stay partially positioned rather than chase hype. Events like GTC often see “buy the rumor, sell the news,” so I focus more on the long-term trends Jensen highlights — especially whether AI expands further into robotics and physical AI. 🚀 @TigerStars @Tiger_comments @TigerClub

Is the Market Bottoming? 2 Anti-Fragile Long-Term Stocks to Own
Hey friends, hope you’re staying calm amid all this volatility! 🧘 Global markets have been swinging nonstop, and nobody knows exactly when we’ll hit a bottom. But history tells us: the best long-term opportunities show up when fear is high. If you want stability and growth through chaos, these two stocks — AbbVie (ABBV) and Microsoft (MSFT) — stand out with real anti-fragile strength. Let’s break them down. Global equities have swung sharply so far this year, with rising geopolitical tensions and tariff uncertainty keeping investors on edge. While no one can reliably predict market direction, history shows that some of the strongest long-term investment opportunities emerge during periods of peak uncertainty. Rather than trying to time the exact bottom, it is far more practical to identify
