Since my last review back on May 6th, the portfolio has returned 31.7%, outperforming SPY by ~30% and SOXX by ~5.3%. Almost all of my core holdings contributed to this outperformance, along with several well-timed trades during the period. After a historic rally in semiconductors between April and June, I began to trim or exit several positions, rotating the proceeds into my next most promising theme &#8212; one I expect to outperform for the next five years (more on that below). When I last discussed my strategy, I mentioned that I&#8217;d completely exited my software and consumer defensive exposure &#8212; a move that paid off, since those positions would have been flat or negative over the period.</p><p>As always, I&#8217;m open to chatting about ideas and answering questions via Substack and X, so don&#8217;t hesitate to reach out!</p><h2>Performance Summary </h2><div

A roaring semiconductor market, fuelled by ever-rising CPU, Memory and Photonics demand propelled my core holdings such as <span class="cashtag-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;symbol&quot;:&quot;$AMD&quot;}" data-component-name="CashtagToDOM"></span> <span class="cashtag-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;symbol&quot;:&quot;$VECO&quot;}" data-component-name="CashtagToDOM"></span> and <span class="cashtag-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;symbol&quot;:&quot;$GLW&quot;}" data-component-name="CashtagToDOM"></span> to new heights. April also provided some fantastic opportunities to enter into several new stocks that are pivotal to the AI infrastructure buildout, and I&#8217;m excited to share them with you today. Over the last two months, the portfolio has gone through a metamorphosis. I have decided to eliminate all of my software and consumer cyclical exposure ( bye <span class="cashtag-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;symbol&quot;:&quot;$SHOP&quot;}" data-component-name="CashtagToDOM"></span> , <span class="cashtag-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;symbol&quot;:&quot;$ELF&quot;}" data-component-name="CashtagToDOM"></span>  <span class="cashtag-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;symbol&quot;:&quot;$ZETA&quot;}" data-component-name="CashtagToDOM"></span>  ) to focus strictly on compute infrastructure. I strongly believe that we are going through a paradigm shift, the likes of which is hard to understand, and I must be adequately exposed, especially at my young age, to benefit from this transformation. </p><h2>Performance Summary</h2><p>The portfolio is up 42.05% year-to-date, representing a gain of $15,808 vs. SPY&#8217;s 7.61%. The portfolio&#8217;s heavy concentration in <span class="cashtag-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;symbol&quot;:&quot;$AMD&quot;}" data-component-name="CashtagToDOM"></span> has driven a majority of the returns, as well as the ongoing success of <span class="cashtag-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;symbol&quot;:&quot;$VECO&quot;}" data-component-name="CashtagToDOM"></span> and <span class="cashtag-wrap"
