1X Technologies
Chris: 1X robot pre-order delayed; CEO believed timeline but execution harder than expected
Chris pre-ordered the 1X home robot (NEO). CEO Bernt Børnich genuinely believed the timeline but underestimated difficulty. Now re-announced but still delayed. Chris hopes it ships but sees pattern of CEO optimism vs. reality across the sector.
"In the case of 1X, which is the robot that we ordered, I think Burnt really believed that he was ready to deliver that next gen bot that was coming out. I don't I haven't spoken t…"

Sphere was a social arbitrage trade entered on information imbalance about Wizard of Oz residency; exited when thesis became consensus and stock reflected it, up 430% in one year.
"It was a social arb trade and we entered Sphere when there was a massive information imbalance in the company and we exited when the rest of the world learned about what we alread…"

Sweetgreen wrap trade: probability options play with Cava competition risk
Chris traded short-dated options on Sweetgreen's new wrap launch as a 30-35% probability of 6-8x return vs potential total loss. Dave remains long shares but worries Cava's superior taste profile and market share gains may overwhelm the wrap's contribution.
"I tripled my money on SG and I'm no longer in it... When we put on that Sweetgreen trade, we were pretty clear about what we were doing. It was a probability outcome trade... 30 t…"

Robinhood long-term winner but near-term crypto correlation creates entry opportunity
Chris views Robinhood as the future largest financial institution but acknowledges heavy crypto trading revenue exposure. Bitcoin weakness (low 60s) pressures the stock short-term, creating a potential add-on entry point for a multi-decade hold.
"I see Robinhood being exactly the same company that I've been investing in the last 2 years. I think it's still the largest financial institution on Earth in the next two decades.…"

Bloom Energy is in negotiations with every hyperscaler and will be a primary beneficiary of the power trade for the AI supercycle; Oracle contract validated the technology and more announcements expected.

Veeva bought on 50% SaaS selloff; regulated life sciences cloud seen as AI-resistant
Veeva's life sciences cloud vertical is protected by heavy regulation and trust requirements that create a moat against pure AI disruption, while benefiting from aging population tailwinds.
"I think the degree of safety and trust that's involved in anything that touches that sector is going to make it more difficult for pure artificial intelligence frontier model comp…"

Chris & Jordan: Bullish on memory/AI infrastructure; buying Micron on weakness
Memory is critical AI infrastructure. Recent selloff reflects investor confusion, not fundamental deterioration. Chris sold near $120 (likely $1200 typo) and is re-entering; Jordan also open to adding. Volatility creates opportunity for those with conviction in the AI capex cycle.
"I still think man, I know everybody's down and out on memory this last week. I don't get it. I'm still long memory, dude. ... I almost bought some more Micron in the night cuz I I…"

TransAlta has excess power in Alberta making it a natural partner for data centers; temporary delays from US political pressure and warm winter, but data center migration to Canada is inevitable.
"I feel that it is an inevitability uh that data centers will get into Canada and Alberta specifically. So, I'm holding the majority of my position in TransAlta."

Amazon quadrupled down but waiting for $60-100B debt issuance dip to add more
Chris has a large Amazon position and expects a massive debt raise (like Meta/Google) to fund AI capex. He's holding cash/leverage to buy aggressively when the announcement hits and the stock temporarily sells off, believing it will quickly recover.
"I did quadruple down... I'm somewhat concerned about Amazon going down the road of what Meta and Google did in issuing a huge debt round... I think the stock is going to drop. And…"
