$MRNA 30%+ in 12 days. $IOVA 50%+ in 17 days. And yes, I own both. I shared both positions publicly before these moves, along with the rest of my portfolio. I’m going to keep doing this: Every stock I buy, I share. Every stock I sell, I share. No hindsight. No cherry-picking winners after they run. The setups get posted when I actually take the position.
I don’t buy AI themes. I buy supply choke points. Two rules: 1. Structural choke points = what to own 2. Volume contraction patterns = when to own Here’s how my current book is layered: 1. AI INFRASTRUCTURE $NVDA - Accelerated compute $MU - High-bandwidth memory $SNDK - Enterprise flash & storage $ARM - Architecture & power efficiency $AMAT - Tooling monopolies $GNRC - Data center power resiliency 2. AI COMMERCIALIZATION $PLTR - Enterprise ontology & workflows $RBRK - Cyber resilience & data recovery $TEM - Clinical AI + proprietary genomics 3. BIOTECH PLATFORMS $MRNA - Programmable synthetic biology $OABI - Antibody discovery engine (HTF breakout entry) $IOVA - Commercialized TIL cell therapy 4. FRONTIER INFRASTRUCTURE $SPCX - Orbital launch & satellite infrastructure Most of these were not bought because I wanted exposure to a theme. Fundamentals put them on the watchlist. Proper price and volume structure gave me the entry. I’ve posted many of those setups publicly here as they developed. The playbook: Own the bottlenecks first. Then own the platforms that turn them into cash flow. Fundamentals give you the watchlist. The tape gives you the trigger.

Jobs crush every estimate. Rate hike odds hit 80%. Most traders will spend today arguing about the Fed. I'm watching which leaders hold their bases while yields spike. Those are next month's breakouts.

$MCK beat, raised, and got sold after hours. Today it broke out anyway. While the Nasdaq bleeds. The print: EPS $11.68 vs $10.72 expected. +18%. FY27 guide raised to $45.60–$46.40.

$TSLA Low: $375.50. $1.82 under $377.32. Someone was waiting there. Now: $386. Back above the line. Someone sold the gap. Someone bigger bought it. Nearly a full day's volume. Before the bell.
