Concentrated bets on the AI revolution

From my purchase notes, Aug 19, 2024

Palantir caught my attention through its government and military work, and I could see potential for its commercial AI and data business. It felt like a way to invest in what people could do with AI, beyond the hardware supporting it.

Tariff concerns had made the market feel unstable, but I thought Nvidia's share price had fallen further than its long-term prospects justified. I expected the tariff dispute to be negotiated rather than last forever, and Nvidia felt like the strongest purchase for me in that uncertain moment.

I added to Google because I thought Gemini could become much more valuable if Google brought AI into the products people already used. I saw that as a possible boost to productivity and to the business.

I liked the growth I was seeing at SoFi, so I added to the position rather than just keeping my initial purchase.

Nebius had fallen sharply, but I still saw a lot of room for neocloud growth. I preferred it to CoreWeave because I understood its debt position to be lower, and I liked its relationship with Nvidia. I also had a great deal of confidence in Jensen Huang's long-term view of AI infrastructure.

A JPMorgan report made me think more about whether custom AI chips could gain ground on GPUs in 2027 and 2028. Broadcom looked well placed for that possibility, and I felt its share price did not reflect the earnings and growth I expected.

Microsoft was my first move into individual stocks. I saw it as a durable business with room to grow in cloud computing, and I bought with the intention of holding for the long term.

I had watched Meta for a long time. Its share price and valuation looked low to me relative to its earnings and growth prospects, especially given how many people use its products. I also saw potential in the AI services it might build for that audience.

Zeta's business growth looked stronger to me than its share price suggested. While many investors were focused on AI replacing existing services, I thought a marketing company using AI well could gain from it.

Rocket Lab's share price had dropped from its high and looked more reasonable to me. I believed space technology would become a bigger market, with interest in SpaceX and a possible IPO drawing more attention to it. I liked the possibility of Rocket Lab growing alongside SpaceX as another major player.
