Huge day. Will Trump join Netanyahu and Putin in the war criminals rogues gallery, by bombing civilian infrastructure in Iran? Or will he TACO? Could have huge implications for him and the US going forward.

FYI - Just like COVID in February 2020 I am considerably in cash & cash-like holdings, and only 20% exposed to equities. Mainly low beta, commodity related, or difficult to exit low liquidity names. Sold all my gold and financial stocks this month.

Mohnish Pabrai looks like a big winning manager in his US portfolio since 2025-12-31. All individual stock selection with $RIG being a big winner & $VAL a significant winner. Sector focus is 66%: Basic materials, 33%: Energy. Concentrated!

Stanley Druckenmiller Top Holdings of 2025-12-31. In top 10 has added $XLF financials, $RSP equal weight S&P500, $EWZ Brasil. Moving away from market cap weighted $SPY (Mag-7 underweight), and towards Latin America are interesting tactical moves imo.

The idea that US big tech can keep AI all to itself and monetise it just for its own benefit was always a fantasy, as DeepSeek showed many months ago. Open source AI & Chinese AI cos. will be disruptors for sure.

Posted this chart after a "parabolic" gold move 9 months ago. $GLD is up 48% since then. Not saying that $SLV doesn't looks way over done short term. But as the old Wall St. saying goes "keep calling tops and you will be pushing mops".

Crypto driven by liquidity according to Richard Bernstein. If credit spreads blow out crypto gets creamed. Note the inverse relationship (RHS axis). i.e. crypto is "digital gold" is a v. bad take.

Standing ovation at Davos for a Mark Carney speech that argued the global order has fractured, not evolved. He warned that pretending the old rules still work is dangerous and called on middle powers to stop performing a comforting fiction and start acting in the world as it actually is

Is it just me or are we seeing repeatable patterns in Trump's modus operandi? Start the year with threats of Tariffs in a situation entirely created by him (for his & his mates own financial benefit). Create a crisis (buy into the chaos), then solve it by withdrawing said threats. Rinse & repeat 🤔

To "throttle exports of services such as those provided by US Big Tech companies in the EU" would cause some big market moves. But since Trump changes his mind a LOT in a short space of time, let us hope cool heads prevail for now.

A common complaint people have about Bluesky...it's too quiet. I was once told that "if you want something improved, stop waiting for others to do it and get it done yourself". With that in mind if you follow me and would like more investing content - what would you like to see in 2026?

Hate to say it, but this latest parabolic move in the US Gold ETF $GLD looks a bit "sus" to my eye. The price action and volume looks a lot like panic buying.

A1Mhigh @a1mhigh.bsky.social · 22/04/2025

Sentiment likely to do a 180 degree flip on this news if true. Intra-day US price moves maybe suggesting this. How long it will last? 🤷‍♂️

A1Mhigh @a1mhigh.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

This is still true after 23 more days. Still the only game in town. A great week for gold and gold stocks. Just a bit worried that if the US stock market sell off becomes disorderly that liquidation of all assets could become a thing.

A1Mhigh @a1mhigh.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

Still no reason to change my hypothesis after 2 months have elapsed. If anything it has been strengthened.

Every clever school yard bully knows that you gain bullying friends (the gang) before you bully the victim. In this case Trump is trying to bully everyone simultaneously (with tariffs). Probability of success is now low, because everyone else is the victim.

A1Mhigh @a1mhigh.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

The gold trade (the metal and the miners) has been fantastic for the last 12 months, and continues to march on to new highs. Just getting a little concerned it is the only game in town right now. 🤔

A1Mhigh @a1mhigh.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

Love him or loath him Trump will get his way with tariffs. OS manufacturing companies that have important US sales will have to build factories on US soil to survive. A net export of jobs to the US from the RoW. A net cost to the RoW. You can either go down the reciprocal route or bow down.

$MAGS have been consolidating (bear flag?) for last 8 days below the 200-day SMA. Was expecting a bounce to VWAP but it has yet to happen. Again the chart is looking very heavy here. Not many good things happen below the 200d SMA.

A1Mhigh @a1mhigh.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

What I like about Bluesky is the opinions you read here are completely different from those (promoted?) on X. Watching both shows how much actual manipulation of news narratives goes on. Whatever you think about Musk his ability to manipulate the news on his platform is both impressive and scary.

Since 2021 the #Yen Carry Trade has been one of the principle drivers of the outperformance of the US stock market. It looks like that is coming to the end. The BoJ is now raising as the FED starts to go the other way. The unwinding of this trade alone could put massive pressure on US equities.

One thing I have learned about sentiment over the years of is that it behaves as an oscillator. Quickly going from bullish to bearish and back. It does not trend (like a stock price might). It might be useful for short term traders, but it is useless if you have a longer term perspective.

This is my working hypothesis on Trump & Elon as well. Elections are not part of his agenda. He is looking to dismantle the apparatus of the state and judiciary as a first step. You don't need to be Einstein to work out what comes after that!

Been quietly liquidating my US equity exposure last few weeks. Largely tackers of $SPY and $QQQ. We could go higher yet. But I think the risks are rising & risk-off often happens fast. Better risk & value opportunities in RoW.
