Titlu: The Gauntlet: What Matters This Week. 🎯
We looked back at January this morning. Now, we look forward.
This week, significant parts of our portfolio report earnings. This is "The Gauntlet."
Amateurs look for a "Beat" on Revenue.
Professionals look for Structural Health.
Here is my specific watchlist for our core holdings reporting this week:
1. AMD ($AMD): Data Center Share
Reporting Tuesday. We don't care about gaming chips. We care about the MI300 accelerator. Is it stealing market share from Nvidia, or just picking up crumbs?
2. Google ($GOOGL): Margins vs. CapEx
Reporting Wednesday. We know they are spending billions on AI. The question is: Are search margins holding up, or is the AI war eating into profitability?
3. Amazon ($AMZN): The Cloud Engine
Reporting Thursday. Retail is for turnover. AWS (Cloud) is for profit. We need to see AWS acceleration to justify the valuation.
The Strategy:
We are not trading these prints. We are verifying our thesis.
If the thesis breaks (structural damage), we sell.
If the price drops but the thesis holds (knee-jerk reaction), we buy.
Let the games begin.
