New 🐿️ piece out now. 'Boys Toys' are in the🎯. $HOG $THO $BC $MBUU $HZO $WGO $PII $CWH

MAG7 will continue to fund the great rotation for a while

The 🐿️ is with 🍁

Last week saw 1st major rebalancing of the BUSHY™ portfolio for 2025. BUSHY™ was well prepared for what appears now to be a major reordering of positioning in global capital markets. That sucking sound is capital finding new homes. Note out at 7am EST. Make sure you are on the list.

In some ways, this was NVTBL... The 🐿️ will show himself out.

This week's show should be in your podcast queues in the next few minutes. Vibe shifts abound.

St Louis Boat Show Update Edition. Plenty going on this week besides the usual BUSHY™ update. Acorn updates this week focus on a ‘drains-up’ review of our exposures in the energy sector (refining, offshore and nuclear/ uranium). We are making a couple of changes.

This recent outperformance of Chinese stocks over the Magnificent 7 has called for radical action. Invesco is shilling the QQQ on a billboard in front of HSBC and the old Bank of China building in Hong Kong. Asian momentum investors have gone home!! 📸sent by a reader (Tx OB).

Good ole Masa just got himself a lemon. OpenAI $300bn. The bridge is in the other shop!

Checking back in on the YOLO portfolio - an equal weight (from Jan 2022) $BITO $TSLA $NVDA $MSTR $PLTR (no-rebalancing). Thought this recent drawdown has been no fun, check over your shoulder! Early days.

This week's podcast is now available in all the usual poddy places. Vets, iPad guys, Team Saddlebags and 'Omar' this week. Pod: Saddlebags Redux www.blindsquirrelmac...

It’s time to check back in on ‘Team Saddlebags’, the 🐿️’s Tom Wolfe inspired nickname for the private asset industrial complex (private equity, credit, real estate and infrastructure). open.substack.com/pub/arcadian...

Eye-watering vet bills and ‘iPad guy’ tradesmen trigger a refocus on the opaque world of private assets. Time to revisit 'Team Saddlebags'. Out in a few hours. Make sure you are on the list at www.blindsquirrelmac...

This week's podcast is now up in all the usual places. Shopping for Chinese consumption stocks!! Pod: Hot for Hot Pot www.blindsquirrelmac...

Plenty going on this week besides the BUSHY™ update. Acorn updates on our trend following / managed futures strategy, European Defense basket, Japanese banks, lithium stocks, oil refiners and Argentinian equities. www.blindsquirrelmacro.com/p/bushy-and-...

As the cries of “USA!, USA!” continue to echo from the trading floors of Lower Manhattan, those “uninvestable” Chinese equities have started 2025 with intent to leave ‘American Exceptionalism’ in their wake for a second year in a row... Hot for Hot Pot! www.blindsquirrelmac...

Staying in the Orient this week. As hot money scrambles for the usual Big China Tech ADRs, the 🐿️ dives into the world of Chinese consumer stocks and launches his ‘Guochao’ 国潮 Basket. Make sure you are on the list at www.blindsquirrelmac...

I am staggered at the amount of short interest still in $FXI and (to a lesser extent but still close to highs) $KWEB. @KoyfinCharts

This week's podcast is up on the website and all your favourite pod apps! Pod: Time to Bank on Japan! www.blindsquirrelmac...

We start with a story. City of London, sometime during the early summer of 1995… www.blindsquirrelmacro.com/p/time-to-ba...

With every passing day and data point, Japan is headed towards being a more ‘normal’ economy. If that view plays out, the banks will be in rude health. New note (and acorn out in a few hours). Make sure you are on the list at www.blindsquirrelmac...

Take a break from tariff chat and come reminisce about Sam Altman’s rubbish week! open.substack.com/pub/arcadian...

The appearance of The HeatSeeker™ has everyone rethinking the AI trade. The 🐿️ gives some thought to winners and losers (Sam Altman!). Cash alone is not a moat! 'S2' brings 2 new acorns - an AI derivative+ an asymmetric tariff idea in the metals space. Get on the list. www.blindsquirrelmac...
