A look at the top holdings in a portfolio for Q1 2026 shows a clear focus. The top five are $Trump Media & Technology(DJT)$  at 38%, $NVIDIA(NVDA)$  and $Apple(AAPL)$  each at 8%, and $Broadcom(AVGO)$  and $Microsoft(MSFT)$  each at 7%. The common theme across these picks appears to be strong brands, exposure to AI, technology leadership, and long-term growth potential. From where I stand, tracking where significant capital is positioned can often reveal important market themes. The biggest opportunities sometimes come from understanding these themes

$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ After a 190% move, it's now consolidating. The question is whether it pushes higher or sees a Wave 4 dip. It's at $508.31, up 2.53%, sitting on what looks like horizontal support. The run has been stretched from the clean setups around $90 and $190, with valuations at 22x PS, 164x PE, and 56x forward PE. The power behind it comes from 35% TTM revenue growth and 125% TTM earnings growth. The company has pivoted into a full-stack AI play with Instinct, EPYC, Pensando, ROCm, ZT, and Helios. Back to fundamentals, a break to the right side could trigger a vertical squeeze.

$Apple(AAPL)$ It's pretty surprising that some investors are selling Apple at 327 when most price targets are in the 370-400 range. It seems like they're not too interested in making a profit.

$Apple(AAPL)$  It's up 22% year to date and hasn't been getting much attention. Now it's pushing against the recent high with some solid momentum behind it.

$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$  The company could be one of the next major ones to reach a $1T valuation, provided its execution stays strong. It's positioned around two key AI trends: the growing inference market and its full-stack Helios rack systems for large-scale AI deployments. As agentic AI becomes more common, workloads might need more CPU capacity alongside GPUs, which could shift traditional data center architectures. The opportunity is large, but it all comes down to execution: turning AI demand, product launches, and ecosystem adoption into sustained revenue and earnings growth.

$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ $Dell Technologies Inc.(DELL)$ $Ambiq Micro(AMBQ)$ Holding up quite well. $Apple(AAPL)$  $Goldman Sachs(GS)$  Looking better!

$Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ All focus is on this upcoming report. The expectation is they will beat. It looks like market makers have already sold it down in preparation for potential short attacks. They've positioned themselves. A strong beat from TSMC would be significant for the market, and especially for AMD since they are a major customer.

My OTM covered calls on $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$  have been working out well. It's a win-win: either $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$  goes up by $100 in just over a week, or I get paid $626 in cash to keep the shares I wanted to hold anyway.

$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ It showed great resilience last week. I'm watching to see if this can lead a broader semiconductor rebound. The tech setup looks like an all-time high breakout is loading.

$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ You can tell this isn't a bubble by how much everyone keeps talking about a bubble. It feels more like scare-mongering to try and get shares.

$Micron Technology(MU)$ I've been seeing a lot of posts about Apple negotiating with blacklisted memory suppliers. To start, Micron just donated $250 million. Also, by definition, 'blacklisted' means they can't be used. On top of that, blacklisted companies likely don't have the production capacity to meet Apple's demand.

$Apple(AAPL)$  AAPL is just $20 away from getting back to $315. I still don't think betting against it is a wise move.

Apple Inc. $Apple(AAPL)$  and American Express AXP. This is another incremental but important expansion for the Apple Pay ecosystem. The “Pay with Points” integration reduces checkout friction within Apple Pay, while also tightening the link between card rewards and in-app spending behavior. For $American Express(AXP)$ , it reinforces Membership Rewards stickiness and usage frequency. For $Apple(AAPL)$ , it further entrenches Apple Pay as a default payment layer across consumer transactions. It's not a headline-driven revenue catalyst on its own, but it continues the broader theme of Apple steadily turning payments into an embedded financial layer,

$Netlist, Inc.(NLST)$ All I want for this July Christmas is for AMD to acquire Netlist. I think it's okay to dream a little dream. I'll repeat my previous quotes: I bought AMD in 2016 for the tech, and I bought Netlist in 2018 for the tech patents. That's it.

$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ The technical structure remains highly constructive, with the 10-week moving average having caught up to the price action. The stock continues to form a healthy bull flag pattern. A few more days of tight consolidation would set up a clean base for potential trend continuation.

$Apple(AAPL)$ Loaded 60 contracts of the 287 call today, target is 300 plus.

$Apple(AAPL)$  I put all my remaining capital in at $278. Apple should trade above $350 by year end.

$Apple(AAPL)$ Apple is the clear winner with very little spending on AI.

$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ If these projections hold, net income estimates are starting to look like a different company. • 2025: ~$4.3B • 2026: ~$12.1B • 2027: ~$21.5B • 2028: ~$30.7B That's a move from around $5B to ~$30B in just a few years. Why so aggressive? It all comes back to AI demand, the mix shift, and higher-margin compute finally scaling through the cycle. If even part of this plays out, today's valuation starts to look very different.

$Apple(AAPL)$  Apple gets to ride the AI wave without having to build the underlying infrastructure. And basically, everyone using AI from different companies is doing so on an iPhone. So, it looks like Apple is the one coming out on top across the board.
