What it's a bet on

Grouped by what each holding is really a bet on, rather than where it's listed

Chips

35%

The hardware everything else runs on. Whoever wins in AI, they're training and running it on chips designed by NVIDIA and AMD and made by TSMC.

  • AMD 13%
  • NVIDIA 13%
  • Taiwan Semi 9%

Index

23%

XLK tracks the tech companies in the S&P 500, weighted by size, so it's the whole sector in one fund. The part I never have to think about.

  • XLK 23%

Frontier

19%

Bets on what comes next, from self-driving cars and rockets to AI put to work. Riskier, so they're sized to match.

  • Tesla 8%
  • SpaceX 6%
  • Palantir 6%

Big tech

18%

The clouds renting out the chips, with the money, the data, and the customers to make AI pay.

  • Google 10%
  • Microsoft 4%
  • Amazon 4%

Crypto

3%

A little Bitcoin, small enough that I'd be fine if it went to zero.

Cash

1%

Next to none. I sell index when I need cash.
