We published the first version of this portfolio in April 2026. Then the AI trade corrected — hard. Most services would quietly delete that PDF. We updated it and put the numbers on the cover:
| Position | Role | Since the 52-week high |
|---|---|---|
| SMH — VanEck Semiconductor ETF | Chips | −17% |
| AVGO — Broadcom | Custom silicon | −25% |
| CEG — Constellation Energy | Nuclear power | −39% |
| Bitcoin (via IBIT) | Digital scarcity | −49% |
| QQQI — Nasdaq 100 Income | Income & stability | −6% |
Inside the free guide: what we're holding, what we changed and why, the rules-based Bitcoin framework that just activated for the first time — and the exact signals that would tell us the thesis is breaking.
Every AI query answered requires chips, power, networking, and cooling. The companies that own those physical layers are the picks and shovels of the biggest buildout since the internet. A correction changes the prices — it doesn't change the physics.
The infrastructure AI cannot run without: semiconductors, custom chips, power generation, an income layer for stability, and a rules-based Bitcoin position.
AI apps, chatbots, SaaS-AI, pre-revenue story stocks, or anything dependent on consumer sentiment. We invest where compute is scarce — not where narratives are loud.
