Returns 90d -4.8% (n=8)
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.

2026-07-24
USTS
bearish
Wealthion · video
Inflation is the US government's only realistic path out of a $40T debt load, which makes fixed-rate bonds a value-destroying hold; cash preserves optionality and avoids the same debasement trap while bonds compound the loss
“I'd rather have cash.”

SPX

At 40% weight in 10 AI-correlated companies, the S&P 500 is no longer a diversified index but a highly concentrated AI bet at stretched valuations, creating systemic drawdown risk if AI capex expectations crack or Chinese open-source models commoditize the…
“If you're 100% in the S&P 500 today, you are 90% in AI.”

GOLD
bullish
Wealthion · video
US debt at $40T is mathematically unsolvable without inflation, which debases the dollar and makes gold—a scarce monetary asset—the logical hedge; central banks are already front-running this and dollar-denominated savers have no good alternative
“The asset is 5,000 years old. You didn't miss it. You'll miss the next leg up.”

2026-07-24
RAILROADS
bullish
Wealthion · video
Railroad track is irreplaceable scarce infrastructure—drones cannot substitute for bulk cargo movement—making it a durable real asset with no AI disruption risk and no entry from new competition
“I don't see anybody else figuring out how a drone is going to move cargo.”
Steven Feldman: The Investment Risk Nobody Wants to Talk About
2026-07-24
FARMLAND
bullish
Wealthion · video
Farmland is a multi-thousand-year scarce, income-producing asset that hedges inflation and provides portfolio ballast that allows greater risk-taking elsewhere
“farmland as a multi-thousand year asset that pays income that allows me to take more risk”

V
bullish
Wealthion · video
Visa's network moat is effectively unreplicable and AI is more likely a productivity enhancer than an existential threat to its business, while its free cash flow and return on invested capital meet his strict real-valuation criteria
“The moat has been working forever and I think it'd be almost impossible to replace it.”
Steven Feldman: The Investment Risk Nobody Wants to Talk About
2026-07-24
INFRASTRUCTURE
bullish
Wealthion · video
Infrastructure assets are physically scarce and hard to replace, benefit from inflation, and are uncorrelated to the AI/tech concentration risk dominating the S&P 500
Steven Feldman: The Investment Risk Nobody Wants to Talk About
2026-07-24
STOCK EXCHANGES
bullish
Wealthion · video
Stock exchanges are structurally scarce—new ones cannot be created—placing them alongside railroads as the class of real, non-AI-threatened assets with durable pricing power that he owns outside the S&P top 10
“Stock exchanges—scarce, can't make more of them.”

long GOLD / long FARMLAND / long S
hedge
Wealthion · video
Hold gold and farmland as crash-proxy/income ballast that is structurally non-correlated with equities, which de-risks the overall portfolio enough to remain long equities without worrying about permanent capital loss
“gold as a crash proxy and farmland as a multi-thousand year asset that pays income that allows me to take more risk”

2026-07-09
MSFT
bearish
Wealthion · video
Microsoft has transitioned from a zero-marginal-cost software model to a capital-intensive infrastructure build-out, making it structurally analogous to a railroad company and warranting a much lower infrastructure multiple rather than 50x P/E
“they're a railroad company...they shouldn't be trading at 50 PEs”

GOLD
bullish
Wealthion · video
Structural US fiscal deterioration — $39 trillion debt, $2 trillion annual deficits, rising interest expense, and a likely less-independent Fed chair — creates a permanent tailwind for gold as a monetary asset
“there's no long-term wind that is not in the back of a monetary asset on the back of $39 trillion of debt”

URANIUM
bullish
Wealthion · video
AI data centers need co-located reliable power and small nuclear reactors are emerging as the solution, driving uranium demand
“it's the uranium that has the small nuclear reactors that people need next to these things”

2026-06-04
ENERGY
bullish
Wealthion · video
AI data centers require massive power buildout, making energy infrastructure the single biggest beneficiary of AI spending since all that compute must be 'plugged in'
“Energy infrastructure has got to be the single biggest theme around AI. You got to plug it in.”

SEMICONDUCTOR MATERIALS / INPUTS
bullish
Wealthion · video
Materials and inputs that go into semiconductors are less overvalued than the chip companies themselves yet still benefit from AI-driven demand growth
“more likely the things that go in semiconductors because they're probably not as overvalued as some semiconductor companies up 400X”

REAL ASSETS (SCARCE, LOCALLY-SOURCED RESOURCES)
bullish
Wealthion · video
De-globalization and energy/resource security imperatives are forcing countries to source critical materials locally, yet US investor exposure to real assets remains negligible, creating an opportunity
“I am going to a scarcity theme, a real asset theme”

USTS
bearish
Wealthion · video
Endemic inflation above 3%, $8 trillion in 2025 debt rollovers, massive corporate re-issuance, and deglobalization reducing foreign buying pressure will force real rates higher and drive 10-year yields to 5.5%.
“I wouldn't touch a long bond coming up for this year”

TTM
bearish
Wealthion · video
Company with $386K trailing revenue and no credible path to beating Google in quantum computing is trading at ~5,000x revenue after a 25x run from a beverage-company shell, making it a speculative retail trap with no fundamental support.
“I don't see how Quantum Computing beverage company is going to beat Google”

GOLD
bullish
Wealthion · video
Rising interest rates increase US government interest outlays, making it a structurally worse credit and eroding the safe-haven premium of Treasuries, which drives flows to gold as an alternative store of wealth; gold also compounds tax-free unlike bonds…
“this time when rates go up interest outlays will go up and it's going to make the US government as a company a worse credit”
