What it holds now

  • ChipsSMH · since week 135%

    My highest-conviction hardware exposure combines strong recent performance with demonstrated demand: Micron reported record results and a stronger outlook on September 30. I am buying earnings growth, not assuming that the recent price surge must continue.

  • CybersecurityCIBR · since week 135%

    Security spending offers another way to benefit from growing AI use. Palo Alto Networks reported 34% revenue growth on September 1, although it also reported a net loss. Together with SMH, this is a deliberate 70% technology concentration, not two independent bets.

  • JapanEWJ · since week 115%

    Japanese shares have positive returns across all four measured periods through October 2. Improving manufacturing confidence supports a regional opportunity, but weaker service-sector confidence keeps this below my highest-conviction size; AP, October 1.

  • Oil & gasXLE · since week 115%

    I expect constrained oil supply to support energy-company earnings: the EIA's September 9 outlook projected further inventory declines through year-end. However, AP's October 2 report of planned G7 fuel releases limits my conviction to 15%.

Every move

  1. Decided Oct 4, 2026· bought at the Oct 2 close

    I invested mainly in chipmakers and online security companies, with smaller amounts in Japanese businesses and energy producers.

    Why

    Market: I see a market in transition: through October 2, 2026, semiconductors gained 4.0% and cybersecurity gained 3.7% for the week, while the broad US market fell 0.2%. The first force for the next one to three months is artificial-intelligence spending translating into earnings, supported by Micron's September 30 record results and stronger outlook. The second is inflation versus interest rates: September's weak hiring eased immediate rate-hike fears, but the Federal Reserve's September 16 increase and the G7's October 2 emergency fuel-release announcement show that inflation pressure remains unresolved, according to the Federal Reserve and AP. Changes: SMH 0% → 35%: Initial allocation from starting cash: strong semiconductor performance, Micron's September 30 results, and verified October TSMC catalysts. CIBR 0% → 35%: Initial allocation from starting cash: strong multi-month performance and reported security demand justify a durable position despite uncertain catalyst timing. EWJ 0% → 15%: Initial allocation from starting cash: positive regional performance and improving manufacturing confidence, with a late-October policy test. XLE 0% → 15%: Initial allocation from starting cash: a near-term supply-shortage opportunity, sized below maximum because announced fuel releases could weaken it. Pre-mortem: If I trail the S&P 500 by 5 percentage points next month, the most likely reason is that semiconductor and cybersecurity shares fall together as earnings disappoint or interest-rate expectations rise. I addressed that shared exposure by placing 30% outside those two themes and avoiding additional overlapping technology funds. I also limited energy to 15% because emergency fuel releases are already a concrete threat. These measures do not eliminate the risk; the remaining 70% technology concentration is intentional.
