AI Capex Mania and Real Asset Rotation

Conviction: 74% · Horizon: 10Y · 2026-06-17
Unloved real assets offer better long-term return potential than crowded AI equities

Gold, silver, energy, and other real assets remain less celebrated than AI equities, creating a more attractive setup for the next decade as capital rotates away from over-owned growth narratives.

Instrument Side Target Reason
GLD Long Gold can benefit from valuation compression in crowded growth assets, fiscal uncertainty, and demand for stores of value outside the AI equity cycle.
SLV Long Silver offers exposure to monetary metals and industrial demand while remaining outside the most crowded equity narratives.
XLE Long Energy equities can benefit from real-asset scarcity, disciplined supply, and investor rotation toward cash-flowing sectors with less dependence on speculative AI returns.
AI infrastructure spending has become a crowded consensus trade with deteriorating risk-reward

Massive AI infrastructure investment is being priced as inevitable future profit, while public enthusiasm and valuation pressure suggest the easy gains in mega-cap technology may already be exhausted.

Instrument Side Target Reason
QQQ Short Mega-cap technology valuations depend on AI infrastructure spending converting into large profits, while consensus positioning leaves limited room for upside disappointment.
