Returns 90d +5.5% (n=20) · 180d +10.1% (n=20) · 1y +18.9% (n=20)
Raw direction-aware returns on public statements — long calls credited when the price rose, shorts when it fell, shorts capped at −100% — in a rising market this mostly measures who was long, not who has skill. Returns run from the stance date; calls are rarely closed publicly, so fixed 90-day / 180-day / 1-year horizons are used. A horizon shows only once it has fully matured, and only at 5+ scored stances.

Micron's 85% gross margins and ~10x peak sales valuation mirror the 1999-2000 DRAM cycle top; a low P/E on a cyclical stock signals over-earning, not cheapness, and Chinese competitor CXMT is prioritizing market share over profitability, which will reverse…
“you can be sure in the next couple years this DRAM cycle will reverse”

BANKS
bullish
Wealthion · video
Japanese banks benefit from a steep yield curve where the BOJ keeps short-term rates pinned at just 1% while long-term JGB yields rise, mechanically expanding net interest margins
“banks in Japan continue to rally because you have that very steep yield curve”

2026-07-15
GOLD
bullish
Wealthion · video
Gold's pullback is a technically-driven rest after a straight-line move, driven by temporarily elevated real rates and a modest dollar bounce — both cyclically transient — while the long-term fiscal deficit and dollar debasement thesis remains fully intact
“I think gold's a buy on this pullback”
Peter Boockvar: The AI Spending Bubble Is Cracking
2026-07-15
NAND
bearish
Wealthion · video
Chinese company YMTC is pursuing NAND storage market share aggressively at the expense of margins — the same threat CXMT poses to DRAM — directly targeting Western Digital's and Seagate's elevated gross margins
“your profit margin is my opportunity”

PEP
bullish

LONG JPY

The yen is at 40-year lows and fundamentally too cheap; the BOJ will be forced to raise rates more aggressively to address inflation, and Japanese finance ministry encouragement of capital repatriation will drive yen appreciation and reverse current-account…

KHC
bullish
Wealthion · video
Kraft Heinz is a contrarian long with a new CEO reinvesting in the business, a well-covered generous dividend, dirt-cheap valuation, and extreme sell-side pessimism (only 1 of 22 analysts with a Buy) that sets up a mean-reversion as fundamentals stabilize
“dirt dirt cheap with generous dividend yields”
Peter Boockvar: The AI Spending Bubble Is Cracking
2026-07-15
CONSUMER STAPLES STOCKS
bullish
Wealthion · video
Consumer staples have been over-punished on lower-income consumer weakness and volume headwinds; they now trade at very cheap valuations with generous dividends, and international business growth will stabilize earnings as the selloff has gone too far
“I've been loving the consumer staple stocks”

USD
bearish
Wealthion · video
The dollar's feeble rally from 97 to 101 despite a massive shift from two expected Fed cuts to one-and-a-half expected hikes reveals structurally limited upside, and the modest bounce will roll over as the rate narrative eventually eases
“I do think the dollar is a sell”

SPX
bearish
Wealthion · video
A decade of US market dominance has created extreme valuation disparity; the pendulum is swinging back in a multi-year valuation normalization process that benefits non-US stocks regardless of domicile discount
“that could be sort of a multi-year process of valuation adjustments where the US just dominated to such an extent”

USD
bearish
Wealthion · video
Foreigners are selling US Treasuries (Canada dumped $54B in one month, a 25-year record) and diversifying away from US assets as tariff hostility accelerates de-dollarization, pushing the dollar structurally lower over multi-years
“I think foreigners are just they want to own less US stuff”

SILVER
bullish
Wealthion · video
Global scramble for critical minerals and raw materials creates a structural premium for silver; at $35/oz it remains well below both its nominal and inflation-adjusted highs despite ~50% industrial demand that ties it to the real economy
“silver at $35 an ounce it's still well below its nominal high let alone its inflation-adjusted highs”

At ~24x earnings with a 1% dividend yield and the Mag 7 leadership splintering, the S&P 500 is mathematically incapable of repeating the last decade's returns and is likely entering a multi-year consolidation phase
“mathematically it's an impossibility for it to repeat in the coming 10 years what it did over the last 10”

2025-07-08
ENERGY
bullish
Wealthion · video
US crude rig count is down 10 consecutive weeks to its lowest since September 2021, supply is self-correcting at the same time OPEC hikes failed to push oil lower — a classic bottom signal with inventories tight and oil in the 60s 'dirt cheap'
“When something doesn't go down on bad news, it's usually a bottom”
90d +1.8% · 180d +7.8% · 1y +29.5%

PLATINUM

Platinum is a hard asset benefitting from the same global critical-minerals scarcity premium as silver and gold, and has already started working after being bought at depressed levels in 2024
“I started buying platinum last year which has had a nice move this year”

2025-07-08
URANIUM
bullish
Wealthion · video
A very wide spread between projected demand growth (hyperscaler AI power needs + grid buildout) and constrained uranium supply makes the long-term secular story compelling even after a major price run
“the big picture story is phenomenal... still a very wide spread between expected demand growth relative to the supply”

MACAU CASINO STOCKS
bullish
Wealthion · video
Macau gaming volumes are recovering (strong recent numbers cited) while stocks remain extremely cheap after years of underperformance, offering asymmetric upside as China's consumer reopening matures
“cheap stuff out there... still very cheap”
Peter Boockvar warns that while markets look great, economic growth doesn’t
2025-07-08
VIETNAM EQUITIES
bullish
Wealthion · video
Vietnam remains a competitive low-cost manufacturing hub even under US tariffs because US companies like Nike have already relocated supply chains there and cannot easily move again — and the tariff cost falls on the US consumer, not Vietnam
“Vietnam is still going to be a competitive place to manufacture even with these tariffs”

OUTDOOR STRIP-MALL / OPEN-AIR SHOPPING CENTER REITS
bullish
Wealthion · video
Open-air shopping centers anchored by grocery, services, and dining are sticky businesses with almost zero new supply since 2008, making them attractively priced with durable cash flows in a 'set it and forget it is over' market
“there's almost no new supply... I love buying beaten up ones at cheap valuations”
Peter Boockvar warns that while markets look great, economic growth doesn’t

SPX

S&P 500 trading near 23x 2025 earnings estimates puts valuations in the upper historical echelon, implying materially lower 10-year forward returns versus buying at 15x
“we're trading now almost 23 times 2025 earnings estimates...that implies that your future 10-year return is going to be lower”

Value stocks have lower embedded expectations and are already priced for bad news, making them inherently more resilient than high-multiple growth stocks when tariffs and macro shocks arrive
