treasury-bond-crisis-rates

🔴 [E4783] Fed cutting rates despite PMI above 50 and capex accelerating. Administration running hot on fiscal policy for AI buildup. Rate cuts in reflation backdrop creates policy error precedent. Long-duration assets at risk of repricing lower.

energy-sector-structural-positioning

🟢 [E4782] Energy rally in early stages. Physical economy rebuild requires massive power/materials. Manufacturing decline reversal from 10% to higher GDP share. Semis, robotics, sensors, batteries: all tied to energy infrastructure. Visser targets energy outperformance into 2026.

ai-disruption-knowledge-economy

🔴 [E4780] Dario Modi warns AI could eliminate 50% of entry-level jobs, spike unemployment to 10-20% within 5 years. Visser disputes timeline but agrees on distribution problem. Job losses concentrated in office/middle management. Service sector (nursing, trades) better protected. Profit margin boom masks labor displacement.

tesla-robotics-autonomy

🟢 [E4776] Tesla robo-taxi launch signals opening of embodied AI era. Fully autonomous vehicles with vision-based learning (vs. Waymo geofencing) scaling from Austin/Bay Area to national network within 12-24 months. FSD v14 approaching sentience; Samsung partnership secures chip supply for scale-up.

macro-cycle-frameworks

🟢 [E4784] Russell 2000 breaking out from multi-year base with best day since April 2024. Small caps beating by widest margin since Q1 2022. Positioning net short Russell by highest amount (lower than 2022 rate hikes). Regime shift underway as rate cuts + capex boost cyclicals.

🟢 [E4777] Regime shift from software dominance (18 years) to hardware/embodied AI. Manufacturing productivity super-cycle emerging. Profit margins will soar as robots replace labor while deflationary hardware costs offset wage pressures. Visser argues this is structural bull, not bubble.

ai-capex-infrastructure-bottleneck

🟢 [E4778] Data center power demand doubled per CEO commentary. Global capex revised upward significantly. PMIs surging globally (US 51.0, Eurozone 51.1, Japan +6mo). Supply constraints, not demand weakness. Rate cuts expected despite PMI rises.
