Astera Labs is a pick-and-shovel play on hyperscaler AI deployments. The company’s expanded Scorpio X-Series roadmap and the secular lift in CAPEX for AI infrastructure support durable revenue growth. Valuation is rich, but the pullback from the 52-week high creates a risk/reward setup I’m willing to buy with a defined entry, stop and target over a…

Walmart is a low-risk core holding with clear optionality: steady cash flow, a $1.1T market cap and a high-return retail engine that can expand margins through omnichannel efficiency and Sam's Club membership growth. Valuation is full today, but the risk/reward becomes attractive on measured entry. This trade targets margin re-rating catalysts over…
Qfin trades at roughly 0.60x book and a sub-3x P/E while yielding more than 9%. That combination argues for a tactical long with a mid-term horizon: entry at $15.71, stop at $13.50 and a target of $22.00 over the next ~45 trading days. The trade rests on stable cash generation, an attractive dividend, and a technical setup that suggests a base is f…

Kevin Warsh has long criticized the Federal Reserve's large bond holdings and favors a smaller balance sheet.
