He holds long positions in Iluka Resources (ASX: ILU), Capstone (ASX: CSC) and Champion Iron (ASX: CIA).\nIn keeping with his interest in the AI transformation, Aboud is highly selective on opportunities at this point. As he puts it, he’s “watching but not doing a lot at this point in time.” \n“The most exciting opportunities are going to be which companies, which corporates, can use whichever generative AI to increase productivity, and where they are going to end. \nWho is going to end up with the economics – the customer, the corporate, or is it going to end up with the hyperscaler?” Aboud says.\nHe believes Goodman Group (ASX: GMG) is well positioned and has held it for three years but is watching and waiting to see which companies emerge as top picks in the future.\nIn this episode of Views from the Top, Aboud discusses market valuations and why investors need to think beyond whether something is expensive or not, where he sees opportunities and where there is froth for shorters to take advantage. He also shares why CEOs and investors alike need to \"plant trees they won’t see grow”.\nTime codes\n0:00 - Introduction0:23 - Anthony Aboud's greatest investment lesson2:29 - Managing long/short positions in the current environment3:43 - How to find the best stocks5:20 - Red flags for short positions6:58 - Energy and mining views7:55 - Opportunities in the market10:25 - Bank valuations and why he isn't shorting12:09 - Where Anthony Aboud is seeing froth13:43 - What are investors getting wrong in the market - and what do they need to get right19:53 - Opportunities from the AI transformation20:54 - What the news around Perpetual has meant for the team\n\n\n\nManaged Fund\nPerpetual SHARE-PLUS Long-Short Fund\nAustralian Shares\n\n\nView\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nNever miss an update\n\n    Enjoy this wire?
